A long time ago, Xuan Xuan had told Ji Tianxing about the situation in the Ancient Realm of Stars.
She had mentioned Flame Spirit City and introduced it to him in detail.
Flame Spirit City was the only city in the Ancient Realm of Stars.
This ancient city, which had existed for almost a thousand years, was located in the central region of the Ancient Realm. It was only five hundred miles away from the Stellar Peak.
Flame Spirit City was not big. It only covered an area of a hundred miles, and only a few hundred thousand people lived in it.
However, these people were all martial artists. Many of them were martial arts experts, and there were even a few experts living in seclusion.
Almost half of the people living in the city were the descendants of the natives of the Ancient Realm. Their ancestors had lived in the Ancient Realm for generations.
Most of them were inextricably linked to the eight great sects.
Many of them were the descendants of the disciples of the eight great sects. They lived and prospered in Flame Spirit City. That was how the city had developed to its current scale.
Although Flame Spirit City was small, it was very prosperous.
Hundreds of thousands of martial artists gathered in this city. Naturally, it was also a gathering place for information about the Ancient Realm of Stars.
The disciples of the eight great sects would often go to Flame Spirit City when they went out to train. They would ask for information in the city or buy some cultivation resources.
Ji Tianxing guessed that the mountain peak painting was a clue about the Heavenly Star Pearl.
However, he could not see the secret hidden in the painting. He could only go to Flame Spirit City and find a way to investigate this matter.
Qian Yue had never heard of Flame Spirit City. It immediately asked Ji Tianxing curiously.
"Let's talk as we go." Ji Tianxing smiled and jumped onto its back.
Qian Yue quickly flapped its wings and flew into the sky, heading north at a moderate speed.
During the journey, Ji Tianxing introduced the situation in Flame Spirit City to it.
After hearing this, Qian Yue was naturally excited and eager. It just wanted to enter the city as soon as possible.
…
In a mountain range five hundred miles away from the Demon Cave, on the peak of a towering mountain.
Under the pitch-black night sky, two tall figures stood on a huge rock at the peak of the mountain, looking in the direction of the Demon Cave.
One of them was a two-meter-tall black-robed elder with bare feet. He was the High Priest.
The woman beside him, who was wearing black leather armor and was covered in blood, was the Blood Moon Infanta.
Their expressions were extremely gloomy and cold. Their eyes contained monstrous anger and killing intent.
"Damned Sky Pillar Sect! He actually slaughtered so many of our warriors and even destroyed the Devil Cave that we had lived in for so many years! "
The Blood Moon Infanta growled angrily. Her voice was hoarse and trembling, and it was filled with killing intent.
The High Priest's voice was cold as he said in a low voice, "It's not just the Sky Pillar Sect. There's also the Heartmoon Sect, the Six Unity Sect, and the Pill Cauldron Sect! Sooner or later, I will make them pay with their blood, and pay them back tenfold! "
The Blood Moon Infanta secretly clenched her fists and asked in a low voice, "High Priestess, we left in a hurry. There are still many important things in the Devil's Cave that we didn't have time to take away …"
Before she could finish, the High Priest shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it. The Demonic Cave has been destroyed. We won't be able to find it even if we go back."
The Blood Moon Infanta was unwilling to give up. She frowned and asked, "The Devil's Cave has been destroyed, and only the two of us have escaped. We have nowhere to hide …"
"Don't tell me that we have to leave the ancient realm and return to the tribe?"
The High Priest shook his head again and said in an indifferent tone, "We have suffered such huge losses and fallen into such a sorry state. If we return to the tribe, how will we explain it to Lord Demon King?"
"Then what should we do? Where can we go? "The Blood Moon Infanta looked at him and asked in a low voice.
The High Priest pondered for a moment and had an idea. He said in a low voice, "I know an excellent place for us to hide. We won't be discovered by the Sky Pillar Sect!"
…
Unknowingly, six hours had passed.
It was early in the morning, and a wisp of white appeared on the horizon.
Qian Yue arrived at Spirit Flame City and landed on a vast plain.
This plain was at least a hundred miles in radius. Looking around, one could only see boundless grass and forests.
Qian Yue looked around and asked Ji Tianxing in confusion, "Old Ji, didn't you say that we have arrived? Where is Spirit Flame City? "
Ji Tianxing pointed at the grassland under his feet and said with a smile, "This is Spirit Flame City. However, the city is protected by a great formation, so ordinary people can't see it."
Qian Yue suddenly understood and said with a smile, "No wonder I felt that the plain was strange. There was a faint aura of a formation."
Ji Tianxing walked into the depths of the plain and looked around with keen eyes.
When he walked a hundred steps away, he saw a black stone tablet that was half the height of a man hidden in a cluster of tall grass.
The words "Spirit Flame City" were written in silver on the tablet. There were also formation patterns and symbols carved on it.
He stared at the tablet and observed it for a while before revealing a smile.
"Qian Yue, if you want to go to the city with me, you'd better shrink a little."
"Okay." Qian Yue nodded in response and quickly shrank.
In the blink of an eye, it returned to the size of a kitten and jumped onto Ji Tianxing's shoulder to squat.
Ji Tianxing then took out the Atlas Badge and placed it on the black tablet, silently injecting his True Core into it.
The black tablet lit up with a silver light and emitted a strong aura of a formation.
The great formation of Spirit Flame City was activated, and the scene before Ji Tianxing changed.
There was nothing in front of him at first, as if it was blocked by an invisible barrier.
"Swoosh!"
After the great formation was activated, the invisible barrier immediately dissipated, revealing the real scene before his eyes.
The vast grassland and forest were all illusions created by the great formation.
After the illusion disappeared, an ancient black city appeared before Ji Tianxing out of thin air.
This was an ancient square city. The city walls were made of huge black stones and were about ten meters tall. They emitted a majestic and heavy aura.
The huge black stones were extremely hard and had been etched by thousands of years of wind and frost. However, there were still mottled and rough marks left behind.
The wide and tall city gates were tightly shut, and the words "Spirit Flame City" were carved on the lintel. The words were already blurred.
Ji Tianxing still stood beside the stone tablet, but a wide black stone path appeared beneath his feet. It led straight ahead and connected to the tall city gates.
Qian Yue was still looking up curiously at Spirit Flame City, but Ji Tianxing had already walked toward the city gates.
The city gates were empty, and there was not a single person in sight.
When Ji Tianxing arrived at the city gates, two middle-aged martial artists in armor walked out from the tower on the city walls.
These two men were the guards of the city gates, and they were both at the second level of the Mystic Enlightening Realm.
The two of them stood on the city walls and looked down at Ji Tianxing. They asked in a dignified voice, "Those who are not of the Ancient Star Realm are not allowed to enter Spirit Flame City."
"Show me your identity token!"
Ji Tianxing knew the rules of Spirit Flame City. Only the disciples of the Eight Great Sects and the residents of the city were allowed to enter.
The disciples of the Eight Great Sects all had identity tokens. The residents of Spirit Flame City naturally had identity tokens as well.
