Chapter 632 The Number One Under Heaven!
It is called the East Sea simply because it borders the sea. It is the largest continent in the world and deservedly the place where the most Central Plains martial artists gather.
The number of top forces here far exceeds those of other continents.
The resources are also the most abundant in the Central Plains, and some even call the East Sea the holy land of martial arts.
The area where Martial Emperor City is located is the center of the East Sea. Because it borders the sea, barbarians from Dongying and other islands basically enter the Central Plains through the East Sea first.
Chen Yuan and his group arrived in the East Sea after several days of travel. For a time, they couldn't help but be amazed by the prevalence of martial arts here. Not only are there many forces,
but there are also many unaffiliated cultivators.
In Qing Prefecture, a force with a Dan Realm Grandmaster is considered a first-class force, easily dominating an entire prefecture, and even the local government treats them with caution.
But it's different here. There are several first-class forces in a single prefecture, and ordinary Transcendent Profound forces in the East Sea are even considered insignificant small forces.
With a large base of martial artists, more martial arts geniuses are born. Nearly ten of the top fifty are affiliated with the East Sea.
In a place where martial arts flourish, the imperial court's control will weaken. The East Sea is not far from Central Continent, but control is insufficient. Most martial artists have unruly personalities.
How could they willingly submit to the imperial court?
Traveling along the way, Chen Yuan deeply felt the difference between the East Sea and other prefectures. Of course, it may also be because the Ascension Immortal War is about to begin,
causing martial artists from other prefectures to flock here, creating such a lively scene.
Zhang Xuan and Shangguan Yu could also be considered well-informed, but when they arrived at Martial Emperor City in the East Sea, they couldn't help but be shocked. What was presented before them was an extremely magnificent giant city.
When Chen Yuan saw Qing Prefecture City before, he was amazed, but compared to Martial Emperor City, it was simply a small witch meeting a great one.
Looking from afar, they were as small as ants under Martial Emperor City.
Martial Emperor City was built against the mountain, stretching endlessly. One couldn't see the end at a glance. The city walls were hundreds of feet high, with ancient and mysterious array patterns engraved on them.
Mysterious, magnificent, and enormous—these were the first impressions of Chen Yuan and his group.
Cranes flew in flocks over Martial Emperor City. Surrounded by white mist, this place truly resembled a fairyland.
"Truly worthy of being the number one city in the world!"
Shangguan Yu couldn't help but exclaim.
Yes, Martial Emperor City in the East Sea is also known as the number one city in the world. Even the imperial city in Central Continent, the center of the world, is inferior. Among them, Martial Emperor City is one of the Ten Immortal Sects.
Even if it is not the number one Immortal Sect in the world, no one dares to underestimate this place.
The Ten Immortal Sects are clearly demarcated, almost dominating a continent each, and no other Immortal Sects in the East Sea dare to challenge it. It has been established as a city for nearly a thousand years.
Chen Yuan's eyes flickered with brilliance, ambitious. A true man should be like this, only possessing such an immortal city can be considered dominating one side.
According to what Chen Yuan and the others learned along the way, it is said that every cave residence in Invincible City is extremely expensive, difficult to obtain even with ten thousand gold.
Owning this place, in addition to power and status, can also gather massive resources. . This place is also a resource transfer center for the surrounding continents. Overseas martial artists who want to enter the Central Plains choose Martial Emperor City first, and Central Plains martial artists who want to go to sea must also pass through this place.
It can be said that the flow of people is surging.
"Let's go, enter the city!"
Chen Yuan said in a deep voice.
Zhang Xuan and the Shangguan siblings naturally obeyed. They entered Martial Emperor City with the flow of people. There were many Transcendent Profound experts around with scattered auras, and even several Grandmaster experts.
The huge city gate was dozens of feet high, with a lifelike dragon sculpture on it. Two dragon whiskers hung down, as if they were alive. Zhang Xuan stared at it:
"This dragon is carved as if it's real."
Chen Yuan smiled. Just as he was about to say something, the Imperial Slaughter Saber behind him suddenly hummed, conveying a sense of consciousness. Chen Yuan was suddenly startled and looked up abruptly.
The information conveyed by the dragon soul in the Imperial Slaughter Saber was that there was a dragon's aura on this dragon!
Could it be real?
Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, retracted his gaze, and said no more. Whether this demon dragon was real or not, it was definitely not an ordinary thing.
Someone around seemed to have heard Zhang Xuan's murmur and echoed:
"This is the East Gate. If you brothers go to the other city gates, you will see the other three mythical beasts."
"What mythical beasts are they?" Shangguan Hong became interested.
"The West Gate is carved with a White Tiger, the South Gate is carved with a Vermilion Bird, and the North Gate is a Black Tortoise. These four mythical beast sculptures are also a specialty of Martial Emperor City.
Those who see them for the first time are all shocked."
"Who carved them?"
"This is not very clear. It is said that they were created by gathering the most skilled craftsmen in the world. They are also array eyes. It is said..." The man looked around, lowered his voice and said:
"It is said that these four mythical beasts can be combined into a world-shocking array. When the Ascension Immortal Tower first assessed the Ascension Immortal List, a strong person came to stop it,
but couldn't even enter the city gate..."
The man spoke of it as if it were a myth. Many Jianghu martial artists who had just arrived at Martial Emperor City couldn't help but stop to listen.
"Thank you."
Zhang Xuan cupped his hands and said.
They had never heard of this rumor. Chen Yuan and the others had only heard that a peerless expert had descended here, wanting to stop the Ascension Immortal List, but the final battle never happened.
This also established the prestige of Martial Emperor City.
Chen Yuan and the others continued to walk forward. Dozens of guards in black heavy armor stood at the gate, inspecting everyone like sculptures. The aura emanating from them was a bit strange.
It was different from martial artists, but the aura was not weak. According to Chen Yuan's estimation, they could even be expected to resist Transcendent Profound experts.
Foundation...
The foundation of Martial Emperor City was something that the group felt as soon as they entered the place.
According to Zhang Xuan's introduction, even the imperial city in Central Continent did not have such a sight, with experts of this level guarding the gate. However, the group also noticed some anomalies.
A large part of that powerful aura came from the heavy armor they were wearing.
Array Pattern Secret Armor!
This opened Chen Yuan's eyes a bit.
Entering the city, one's eyes were greeted by wide streets, and shops on both sides selling various items. However, few people dared to make noise, because it was forbidden to make noise here.
What they felt most deeply was the rich Heaven and Earth spiritual energy within the city, which was much higher than outside the city. According to what they learned, the deeper into the city, the more concentrated the spiritual energy became. . Because Martial Emperor City is engraved with a huge Spirit Guiding Array. Of course, if it were just this, it would not be possible to create such an effect.
The real secret is actually because there is a vast Spirit Crystal mine in Martial Emperor City.
As everyone knows, Spirit Crystals are all converted and compressed from Heaven and Earth spiritual energy through formations, but there are exceptions, that is, after a long period of conversion, areas with rich spiritual energy will gradually form mines.
There is one in Martial Emperor City, and everyone in the world knows about it.
But knowing it is one thing, and no one dares to forcefully take it.
Unless they are tired of living.
In fact, it's not just Martial Emperor City, which of the Ten Immortal Sects doesn't have a Spirit Crystal mine? But they can hold it. If Chen Yuan had a Spirit Crystal mine in his hands now, he wouldn't have the ability to guard it.
A common man is not guilty, but possessing jade makes him guilty!
If he really had this thing in his hands, not to mention Transformation Yang True Person, even the peerless True Monarchs in the Jianghu and the imperial court would not be able to help but take action. He knew this very well.
The group stopped and looked forward. In front of them was a misty mountain, which was the center of Martial Emperor City and the location of the City Lord's Mansion.
After a short stay, the group began to look around and head towards the immortal mountain.
They didn't need to look for any inns. As long as they had the Ascension Immortal Token in their hands, they could stay in the main building of the Ascension Immortal Tower. This was also a well-known fact.
Martial Emperor City is very big and full of myths!
Here, Chen Yuan and his group not only saw those overseas barbarians, but also those red-haired barbarians from the Western Regions, who were obviously attracted by the Ascension Immortal War.
The essence of the Central Plains is indeed well-deserved, and many rare things can be seen here.
They did not choose to fly in the air. There are rules in Martial Emperor City that those below Transformation Yang cultivation are not allowed to fly in the air, and no one in the city is allowed to fight, except in the specially set up arenas.
Once violated, they will be arrested by the city's garrison.
It can be said that Martial Emperor City bullies the weak and fears the strong, but most martial artists have no choice.
After about half an hour, the group toured a part of Martial Emperor City and gained some knowledge. Then, they headed straight to the immortal mountain. The main building of the Ascension Immortal Tower was located halfway up the immortal mountain.
The main building of the Ascension Immortal Tower was also built extraordinarily, surrounded by immortal mist. It had a total of nine floors, with the meaning of the Nine-Nine Supreme.
After announcing their names to the Ascension Immortal Tower guards at the door, it immediately caused a commotion. Many people's gazes turned to Chen Yuan and his group.
"It's Chen Yuan!"
"The first on the Hidden Dragon List, the Demon Blade Chen Yuan is here!"
"He's not slow. I just saw Gu He and Fairy Yu Qingyan enter the Ascension Immortal Tower."
"Bai Changqing seems to be here too."
"That Northern Liang Prince, Wei Wuque, is also here."
"Who are those people beside Chen Yuan?"
Someone whispered, causing Zhang Xuan and Shangguan Yu's faces to twitch.
With their cultivation, they could easily hear any sound within a hundred meters, even whispers. They secretly thought, "As expected."
Walking with someone like Chen Yuan, the first on the Hidden Dragon List, was truly unremarkable.
"The one on the left is Zhang Xuan, the Celestial Inspection Envoy of Nanling Prefecture. His father is one of the four great envoys of the imperial court. The other two are the direct descendants of the Shangguan clan, Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Hong." "It's them?"
The first floor of the Ascension Immortal Tower suddenly caused a commotion, and most of this commotion was directed at Chen Yuan, because his experience was too legendary.
In the Jianghu, he was even a legendary figure.
The guards of the Ascension Immortal Tower did not dare to be negligent and quickly bowed:
"Greetings, Envoy Chen, Envoy Zhang, Shangguan..."
"Where do we live?" Chen Yuan looked around. Everyone lowered their heads under his sharp gaze.
"Please wait a moment, everyone."
Then, the guard leader instructed several guards beside him to inform them.
After a short time, three Ascension Immortal Tower branch masters came to greet them, including Ye Chenbai. They would all be recalled during the Ascension Immortal War event.
Of course, this was limited to those branch masters who could invite the top fifty on the Hidden Dragon List.
The three branch masters, led by Ye Chenbai, formed a triangular formation. There was no way around it; one's status depended entirely on one's ability. Ye Chenbai being able to invite Chen Yuan, the first on the Hidden Dragon List, proved that he had the ability.
"Brother Chen, it's been several months since we last met. Your cultivation is even better than before!" Before Ye Chenbai even got close, his hearty laughter reached their ears.
"Brother Ye."
Chen Yuan cupped his hands. They were considered friends, so he naturally returned the courtesy.
"This is..." Chen Yuan was about to introduce them when Ye Chenbai laughed and said:
"Brother Chen, don't forget what I do."
"That's right."
The Ascension Immortal Tower was the number one intelligence organization in the world. Although he was just a branch master, his information channels were very extensive. He naturally recognized Shangguan Yu.
"Brother Zhang, long time no see."
"Brother Ye."
"This must be the famous Brother Shangguan Yu, right?" Ye Chenbai turned his gaze to him.
"I've heard Brother Chen mention Brother Ye before. Seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary."
After some pleasantries, the attitude of the group instantly warmed up.
The other two Coagulation Astral cultivation branch masters could not get a word in edgewise.
They stood respectfully to the side. Apart from being Ascension Immortal Tower branch masters, just the fact that Ye Chenbai's surname was Ye made his status much higher than theirs.
"Brother Chen, let's not stay here. How about a view from the top floor? The scenery up there is also extraordinary."
"Since we're on Brother Ye's territory, naturally Brother Ye will be the host."
"Please."
"Please."
During Ye Chenbai's introduction, the group learned a bit about the people here. Those Hidden Dragon List talents who had arrived early were mostly staying on the top floor to enjoy the scenery.
This was a major feature of the Ascension Immortal War, opening the top floor for the world's talents to overlook the entire city.
As for their accommodations, they were on the fifth and eighth floors of the Ascension Immortal Tower.
The floor they lived on depended entirely on their ranking on the Hidden Dragon List. Chen Yuan would naturally have the best room in the Ascension Immortal Tower, followed by Shangguan Yu,
and then Zhang Xuan.
As for Shangguan Hong, as an accompanying person, she was not supposed to stay in the Ascension Immortal Tower. However, with Ye Chenbai around, these were not big problems.
The group flew to the top floor and immediately saw more than thirty figures, standing together in groups of three or two, or watching the bustling Martial Emperor City below with their hands behind their backs. . Most of their gazes gathered on the group, bringing a huge amount of pressure.
Chen Yuan looked around with a level gaze, snorted softly, and his aura suddenly erupted, resisting the pressure of dozens of people alone, without losing ground at all.
"It's Chen Yuan!"
"Demon Blade!"
Someone exclaimed, revealing his origins, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief. Only a monstrous talent like Chen Yuan could fight against many people alone; it was not surprising.
The originally noisy crowd quickly turned silent with Chen Yuan's appearance. Those figures, whether curious, respectful, or full of fighting spirit, all focused their gazes on Chen Yuan.
Lifting his feet, Chen Yuan walked forward calmly. The Hidden Dragon List talent closest to him swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Feeling the powerful pressure from Chen Yuan, he cupped his hands and said:
"Zhu Zong of Qingxuan Sect, greetings, Brother Chen."
Chen Yuan turned his gaze, stared at Zhu Zong, and nodded slightly.
Where there is one, there will be two. As Chen Yuan walked forward, figures began to cup their hands and salute:
"Cao Kun of Bing Prefecture, greetings, Brother Chen."
"Gongsun Long of You Prefecture, greetings, Brother Chen."
"Chu Yun Kong of the Chu family of Yun Prefecture, greetings, Brother Chen."
"Central Continent..."
One figure after another rose and fell. Most of the people present expressed their respect for Chen Yuan. Even though Chen Yuan was an imperial court official, he was also the genuine first on the Hidden Dragon List.
He rose to the top through battles.
He rose to the top by consecutively killing two Grandmasters.
No one among them could achieve such a record. Was he not worthy of awe? Moreover, they also wanted to curry favor.
As everyone knew, Demon Blade Chen Yuan was always bloodthirsty and cruel. If they met in the Ascension Immortal War, they might be able to save their lives with just this greeting.
Chen Yuan responded with a smile to all the martial artists who showed goodwill, without putting on airs. As for those who did not take the initiative to greet him, he would not bother with them and simply ignored them.
Ye Chenbai, Zhang Xuan, and Shangguan Yu behind him seemed to have become mere foils.
Witnessing Chen Yuan's dominance over the entire scene, they couldn't help but be shocked.
"Yu Qingyan of the Goddess Palace, greetings, Brother Chen."
When he walked to Yu Qingyan's side, she took the initiative to greet him. Chen Yuan stopped and looked at her, speaking for the first time:
"Fairy Yu's elegance is even more outstanding than before."
Not to mention that Yu Qingyan was Li Suqing's disciple, just because Chen Yanshu had received much care from her, Chen Yuan would not rudely just nod. However, Chen Yuan's words immediately made everyone's gazes suddenly converge on him and another man in black.
Their eyes were full of meaning, as if they wanted to watch a show.
That person was none other than Gu He of the Gu family, one of the Five Surnames and Seven Sects. He had been pursuing Yu Qingyan and had been guarding her side since he ascended to the top floor.
If anyone else wanted to go up and greet the famous Fairy Yu, they would be intimidated by his stare, which had long made people feel displeased.
Most of them were no match for Gu He and were somewhat afraid of him, but that didn't mean Chen Yuan was afraid of him. They even wanted to see Chen Yuan teach Gu He a lesson.
"Brother Chen is too kind."
Yu Qingyan smiled.
The two chatted for a few words, completely ignoring Gu He, who was looking green and white. He quickly interjected, cupping his hands and saying: Su Dan Novel Website
"Brother Chen, I am Gu He."
Chen Yuan turned his head, stared at him, and opened his Heavenly Eye. A faint blue light flashed in his eyes.
