Ji Tianxing spent an entire day walking around the ancient city.
In the process, he not only observed the layout of the city and its customs, but also learned a lot of information.
Before coming to Shenwu Continent, he had learned thousands of Shenwu Continent's languages from the master's ancient book, which allowed him to speak a few simple and common languages.
Now that he was in this city, he could see the words written all over the city and listen to the conversations of the commoners. Comparing the two, he was able to learn and improve even faster.
According to his understanding, this ancient city was called Heavenly Cloud City.
Heavenly Cloud City had a history of more than a thousand years and covered an area of more than two hundred kilometers. It was home to more than three million people.
This was the imperial city of the Outcloud Empire, which was also the territory ruled by Martial God Taihao!
When he learned this, Ji Tianxing was stunned for a moment, and a playful look flashed through his eyes.
"Jiu Jiu seems to be from the Divine Kingdom of Taihao, and she worships and respects Martial God Taihao greatly.
I never thought that I would accidentally land in the Divine Kingdom of Taihao's territory … "
As this thought flashed through his mind, he thought of another question. "I originally thought that the Divine Kingdom of Taihao was just a single nation, but I didn't expect that to be the case.
There are actually six empires under the Divine Kingdom of Taihao, and the Outcloud Empire is one of them. "
After some investigation, he found out that the empires under the Divine Kingdom of Taihao were different from the kingdoms on the Tianxuan Continent.
Every empire had a vast and boundless territory, as well as an endless number of civilians and subjects.
On this continent that was enveloped by divine light, the world's spiritual energy was incomparably dense, and the martial arts culture was very prosperous.
Just like Heavenly Cloud City, the commoners who grew up here were all martial artists who had started cultivating from a young age.
The commoners who walked the streets and alleys, as well as the hawking peddlers, were all martial artists with decent strength.
Ji Tianxing walked around the city and found that most of the people here were at least at the Tongxuan Realm or the Primal Core Realm.
Sky Origin Stage cultivators could only be considered as good cultivators in this place. They could be the city guards or the guards of the rich and powerful clans.
Spirit Refinement Realm martial artists were not rare either, and only Primordial Spirits could be considered powerhouses.
Ji Tianxing even sensed that there were dozens of hidden but powerful auras in the city that far surpassed the Primordial Spirit Realm.
In addition to this information, he also noticed something else.
In the city square, as well as on the archways of several streets, there were dark golden Imperial Notices posted on them.
The imperial notice was filled with words written in the Shenwu Continent's language. It was an order personally written by Emperor Chu Yun, and it seemed to be an extremely solemn announcement.
Many people gathered around the Imperial Board to watch. They gathered in groups of three to five and discussed.
Ji Tianxing passed by a large street and walked past a tall stone tablet. He saw countless people surrounding the stone tablet so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through. He could not help but take a few more glances.
From the discussions of the people, he heard the words' Disciple of God ',' Grand Competition ',' Genius', and 'Selection'.
These words immediately piqued his interest. He stopped in his tracks, passed through the crowd, and walked down the stone tablet.
When he arrived at the stone stele, he raised his head to look at the dark gold Imperial Ranking List and read the words on it carefully.
It took him a hundred breaths of time to decipher the two hundred characters and understand their meaning.
It turned out that the Chu Yun Empire was holding a Disciple of God selection for the great Martial God Taihao to select the most outstanding disciple.
The Disciple of God selection was held once every twenty years, and it was one of the most solemn ceremonies in the Taihao Kingdom.
Any martial artist between the ages of twenty and eighty who had reached the sixth level of the Spirit Refining Realm or above had the qualifications to participate.
At the very beginning, more than two hundred cities under the Chu Yun Empire's jurisdiction would hold the first round of selections.
The thousands of young martial artists who had won would come to the imperial city, Heavenly Cloud City, to participate in the second round of selections and competitions.
After a few days of competition, thousands of martial artists had been eliminated, and only fifteen young geniuses had stood out and won.
These fifteen geniuses' names were written on the Imperial Board, and they were admired and praised by the entire city.
They would represent the Chu Yun Empire and head to the sacred Clear Sky Pagoda to participate in the final selection.
Anyone who could become a Disciple of God would receive unparalleled glory. They would be bathed in the divine light of Martial God Taihao, and they would have a meteoric rise. Their future on the martial path would be limitless!
Even if they couldn't become a Disciple of God, they could still become a Divine Servant of the Divine Kingdom. Their status would far surpass that of ordinary nobles, and they would be very famous!
All in all, the fifteen geniuses on the Imperial Ranking List were going to become famous figures in the world.
However, in three days, the fifteen geniuses on the Imperial Board would have a final competition.
They were going to hold a ranking battle in the plaza in the city to determine their respective rankings.
Obviously, whoever was stronger would be able to obtain a higher ranking, receive better treatment, and have a more resounding reputation.
After reading the news on the Imperial Board, Ji Tianxing silently left the crowd and stood in a corner to ponder.
"It's really about the Disciple of God selection! Jiu Jiu mentioned this to me before. When she was rushing to the Clear Sky Pagoda, she accidentally entered the Gate of Xuan Pin and met me.
Unexpectedly, ten months have passed, and the Disciple of God selection is about to come to an end. The Chu Yun Empire has already selected fifteen geniuses … "
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown as many thoughts flashed through his mind.
"The Disciple of God selection is a grand ceremony that occurs once every twenty years. Previously, when the Prefecture Master brought Yun Yao to the Shenwu Continent, he gave her a one-year deadline.
Now that I think about it, the Prefecture Master sent Yun Yao to the Shenwu Continent three months ago, when the Disciple of God selection was about to begin.
Could it be that the Prefecture Master was in a hurry to send Yun Yao here because of the Disciple of God selection?
Could Yun Yao also be in the Tai Hao Divine Kingdom? Could the mysterious powerhouse that the Prefecture Master is working for be Martial God Tai Hao? "
Although these were all his guesses, he didn't have much evidence.
However, after weighing the pros and cons for a while, he felt that it was possible.
"Anyway, I've just arrived in the Shenwu Continent and have no place to stay. I also don't understand the situation on this continent.
Even if I want to find Yao Yao, I don't know where to start.
In that case, I'll take advantage of this Disciple of God selection to find a way to enter the Clear Sky Pagoda!
I have to investigate clearly to see if Yao Yao is there … Even if I can't find Yao Yao, I can ask Jiu Jiu for help.
On this continent, I only know one person, Jiu Jiu, and she can be considered a friend.
She seems to be from a wealthy family. If she's willing to help me find Yao Yao, it will definitely save me a lot of trouble and time. "
Thinking of this, Ji Tianxing made up his mind. He would start from the ranking battle three days later and find a way to enter the Clear Sky Pagoda.
Of course, what he needed to do now was to find out the relevant information about the ranking battle and investigate the identity and strength of the fifteen geniuses.
