System: Replicating The Heavens

As Alex walked deeper and deeper into the secret realm, he arrived at a place, at the height of about two hundred meters from where he could see a huge city not far away.

He was shocked to see this city. It is because, in his eyes, this city was too real to be an illusion.

Yes, this was a real city, but apart from this city, everything around was still an illusion.

"What is so special about this city?" Alex frowned and muttered. "Looks like I could find the answer only by visiting this city."

As Alex muttered, he decided to step into the city.

As he walked, he soon arrived in front of the city gate. He could see many people entering and exiting the city.

As Alex observed, to his surprise, he found that the people exiting from the city walked to a certain distance before suddenly disappearing. It was as if there was a strange force that teleported away those people.

From the conversation of these people, Alex found out that the name of this city is Golden Stone City.

And after he stopped a person and asked about it, he found out that Golden Stone City was a very large city. There were some markets here that could be used to buy and sell things.

Of course, most of these things were brought in from the outside. People from different places brought very different things. They needed to exchange and complement each other. This was the meaning of the existence of markets.

He also found out that the Golden Stone City is located in a different world called Heavenly Cloud World.

Alex was extremely shocked when he found out this. This place, this city is actually a city of a different world, but for some reason, it suddenly appeared in a secret realm that opened up in the Essence Sky World. Most importantly, the people of this city seemed to be suddenly teleporting to their true world, Heavenly Cloud World, after going out of the Golden Stone City and walking to a certain distance.

"What the hell is going on? Who could tell me?"

Alex muttered but there was no answer. If he wants an answer, he has to enter the city.

After arriving at the entrance, Alex raised his head and looked at the Golden Stone City. Compared to the cities he had previously been to, the Golden Stone City was clearly much bigger. At the city gates, there were people holding hands, and many people were entering and exiting. It was quite lively.

After watching for a while, Alex walked towards the entrance of the city. Just as he was about to enter, someone suddenly stopped him.

"Where's your identity token?"

Alex stopped and asked curiously, "What identity token?"

The guard looked at Alex from head to toe and said: "Are you new here?"

"Yes, I'm new. Is something wrong?"

The guard said: "Nothing much, it's just our Golden Stone City's rules, every person who comes in must have their own identity token. If they don't have one, they will be prohibited from entering the city."

What kind of broken rule was this?

Alex frowned.

"Since you are new here, then it is fine. I will give you an identity token. You just have to pay one thousand High Grade Celestial Stones. Do you want it?"

The guard took out a token from his spatial ring and weighed it in his hand.

"One thousand High Grade Celestial Stone, are you trying to rob me?"

This was not the first time Alex heard of the Celestial Stones. When he was still going through the test of Moon Palace, he was already introduced to Celestial Stones. And after replicating from many people, he has a lot of them in his possession. But they were all either Low Grade or Mid Grade Celestial Stones.

It was only from Henry and the elders of the Fourth Mountain Peak did Alex replicated the High Grade Celestial Stones.

Alex took a look at the identity token. It was a very ordinary one, but it was asking for one thousand High Grade Celestial Stones. This was a bit too much.

The guard said, "One thousand High Grade Celestial Stones is considered very cheap. And it is mainly because of our new city lord. If you would have come a year ago, you would have had to pay Divine Stones instead of High Grade Celestial Stones. Do you want it or not? If you don't want it, get the hell out of here right now."

Divine Stones?

This was a new term for Alex, but he did not ask anything for the time being.

Seeing how fearless this guard was, Alex knew that there must be someone backing him. He was too lazy to argue with this little guard. He took out a thousand High Grade Celestial Stones and handed them over.

Seeing the Celestial Stones, the guard immediately smiled. He received the Celestial Stones and handed the identity token to Alex after carving Alex's name on it.

Alex grabbed the identity token and did not say anything. He walked straight into the city. He did not want to argue with a little guard.

After entering the city, Alex saw a lot of stalls. It seemed like there was really someone selling things here. He went up and took a look. The things sold here were relatively simple. Most of them were materials for Demonic Beast. There were also some medicinal herbs and other things.

This was a Secret Realm. There might be very few other things here, but there were a lot of Demonic Beast here. Various kinds of Demonic Beast were gathered in this secret realm and Alex had seen many of them along the way.

It is just that whenever he saw demonic beasts are real and not an illusion, he would try his best to avoid them in order to save his time. Of course, at times, he had to fight and kill those demonic beasts as well.

"There are so many herbs and ingredients here. Why don't I buy some and use them to concoct pills?"

Alex was pleasantly surprised. There were so many herbs here, and there were some things that were hard to find outside. If it was outside, encountering such a thing would have been very difficult. Usually, this kind of thing would be sold to those who needed it at a high price, such as alchemists.

However, this was a city of a different world. Maybe, the so-called Heavenly Cloud World is very rich in resources, so encountering these herbs here was not that much of a surprise.

Maybe, because there are very few alchemists here, pills were very precious in this city and very rare to find as well. It has to be known that this was a very big city and there was all kind of resources present there. However, finding pills became very difficult for Alex for some reason.

After walking for so long and seeing so many stalls, he had never seen anyone selling pills.

Seeing this, Alex couldn't help but wonder why there was such a situation in this huge Golden Stone City.

Very quickly, Alex went through the entire idea in his mind, and his heart was filled with joy. He firmly believed that he would be able to make another breakthrough very soon with the resources he just bought.

However, this wasn't the reason why he came to Golden Stone City. It was to find out more information about the exact situation here. He wanted to know why this city of a different world appeared here, and why this city was a single thing real in the entire secret realm.

As for finding information, Alex chose to go to an inn or a restaurant.

Very quickly, he saw a three-story restaurant. There were many young people gathered here, drinking tea and chatting. The tea was brought in from outside or perhaps bought from the people who set up the stalls.

Alex's arrival did not attract any attention. He went up to the second floor and found a seat there.

"When will the Ancient Golden Temple be opened? I can't wait any longer."

"According to the people of the Golden Sand Pavilion, it will be opened about a year later."

"One year? That long?"

"I don't know about that. In any case, we are just waiting. It's not a big deal. One month is just a snap of the fingers."

One year?

Ancient golden Temple?

Golden Sand Pavilion?

Alex was stunned.

He has no idea what these people were talking about. Couldn't they feel something was very wrong with their city? Couldn't they tell their city was teleported to a different world for some reason?

"There's still another year's time. What can we do? We can't possibly stay in Golden Stone City all the time, right? We have to do something, right?"

"Do something? What do you want to do? The most important thing for us is to cultivate hard and increase our strength. Apart from that, nothing else is important."

"Yes, you should know that the lowest requirement to enter the Ancient Golden Temple is Divine Lord Stage."
