Ji Tianxing had been cultivating in the distorted space-time for more than four years while the God-Slaying Battleship was on the way.
Not only had he recovered to his peak state, but his strength had also improved.
He had also made some progress in condensing his third Daoist Rhyme.
Not only was he ready to fight at any time, but even the tens of thousands of followers under his command had been conserving their energy and accumulating strength.
Everyone was waiting for orders, waiting for the moment the war began. They would go out in their best state and kill the enemy bravely until the last moment.
Therefore, the problem in front of everyone was how to find the Asura God Emperor as soon as possible and find the best opportunity to attack.
Of course, the prerequisite for this was that Ji Tianxing could not easily expose himself.
…
The territory of the Shang Qing Temple was very large, with more than seventy districts under its jurisdiction and seventy-four divisions.
Every branch had one or two Peak Divine Kings, over ten thousand Divine King Realm experts, and hundreds of thousands of Divine Lord Realm citizens.
Compared to the territory of the Kongming Temple, the territory of the Shang Qing Temple was more prosperous. Not only was the scenery more beautiful, but the mineral resources were also more abundant.
As for the customs of the territories under the two temples, they were basically the same. They were all very calm and leisurely.
After all, the Star of Origin had been peaceful for a hundred thousand years, and there had never been any major disputes or wars.
The people of the four temples basically did not know what war was.
It was only when they entered the Unknown Lands to train and hunt the beasts that they would be able to experience what it meant to fight and kill.
This was because the border of the Shang Qing Temple's territory did not have any fortifications at all. It was basically in a state of no defense.
Only the divisions at the border sent a small number of Divine Kings to patrol the border area.
Their mission was not to prevent foreign enemies from invading, but to prevent the Beast Tribes from the Unknown Lands from breaking into the Shang Qing Temple's territory and causing trouble.
Of course, for tens of thousands of years, the Beast Tribes had always been synonymous with weakness and ignorance.
The Shang Qing Temple had never taken the Beast Tribes seriously. The guards patrolling the border also lowered their guard and were very relaxed.
This was because the God-Slaying Battleship maintained its stealth state and easily crossed the border and arrived near a division.
This branch was called the Tri-Mountain Hall, and it ruled over a territory with a circumference of a hundred million kilometers. It had over three hundred thousand citizens under its command, and its headquarters was located in Tri-Mountain City, which was surrounded by mountains and clear waters.
The city spanned a radius of two hundred miles and there were nearly three hundred thousand Desolate race citizens living there. It was like an otherworldly paradise that was especially peaceful and tranquil.
The Three Mountain Hall still had sixty to seventy thousand Desolate race citizens under its command. They were scattered throughout the territory, hidden in the mountains, forming small towns or villages.
Anyway, the Planet of Origin had always been peaceful. There were no wars.
Those small towns and villages had fewer people, so there was nothing to worry about.
This created an opportunity for Ji Tianxing. It also left a path for him to sneak in and gather information.
Near Three Mountains City, he put away the God-Slaying Battleship and began to move alone.
He remained invisible and concealed his aura. First, he observed outside the city for half a day.
As expected, the vast Three Mountains City had tall city walls, powerful formations, and tight defenses.
Furthermore, the 300,000 Desolate race citizens that lived in the city rarely left the Three Mountains City.
Most of the citizens that entered and exited the city were the guards and experts under the Three Mountain Hall. They formed groups to carry out missions.
Thankfully, Ji Tianxing secretly released his perception and used mystic techniques to probe the situation in Three Mountains City. He only sensed the auras of countless Godly Monarch experts, but he did not sense the existence of the God Emperor.
In other words, the Shang Qing Divine Hall only had a few God Emperor experts. The chances of them coming to Three Mountains City were very small.
Ji Tianxing's luck was still considered normal. Without the God Emperor experts in Three Mountains City, he had a lot of room to show his abilities.
Hence, he quietly approached the city gates and waited for an opportunity to sneak in.
Three Mountains City was a city that hung alone in the borderlands. It rarely interacted with other branch cities.
Hence, when the Desolate race craftsmen built the city, they only built one city gate.
As long as the city-protecting array was activated, everyone could only enter through the city gates.
The city-protecting array was a supreme-grade King-ranked Divine Array, not an Emperor-ranked Divine Array. Ji Tianxing could crack it with a bit of time and effort.
However, there was no need for him to do so. It was a waste of time and effort, and there was a certain level of danger.
He hid near the city gates for two hours before he waited for a group of Desolate race Divine Lords that had gone out to gather resources to return.
These people were exhausted and looked tired, but they were in high spirits. Clearly, they had returned from a rewarding journey.
The guards guarding the city gates greeted them warmly and exchanged a few pleasantries with them.
While no one was paying attention, Ji Tianxing quietly transformed into a speck of dust and followed the group of Desolate race Divine Lords into Three Mountains City.
After entering Three Mountains City, Ji Tianxing strolled around leisurely. As he observed the situation in the city, he listened to the sounds from all directions and gathered all sorts of information.
Now, he was already proficient in the Desolate race's language and writing.
As he walked through Three Mountains City invisibly, he would not be discovered by others. He could also see all the streets and pavilions in the city, and hear all sorts of sounds in half the city.
The shouts from the roadside shops, the sounds of bargaining, the laughter of the Desolate race citizens, as well as the whispers in the rooms … were all transmitted into Ji Tianxing's mind.
Even though 99% of the sounds were worthless and could not provide him with any useful information.
However, Ji Tianxing's countless years of experience concluded that by listening to the sounds of the entire city, it was easier for him to obtain all sorts of information.
It was just a little more troublesome. He needed to filter out the useful information, and then analyze and organize it to obtain what he wanted.
Two hours, four hours, six hours ….
Ji Tianxing strolled through Three Mountains City. He walked through countless streets, saw rows upon rows of palaces, pavilions, and courtyards. He also walked through numerous gardens and lakes.
From dawn to dusk, and then to night.
He walked through the entire Three Mountains City, and through the thousands of pieces of information he gathered, he filtered out the useful information and organized it.
Finally, he obtained a lot of useful information.
For example, there was a very important matter that alarmed Ji Tianxing.
Many Godly King realm citizens in Three Mountains City were discussing it. Not long ago, the Shang Qing Divine Hall had issued an order to select a hundred elite Godly King experts from the various divisions.
Three months later, all the elite Godly Kings selected from the seventy-four divisions would gather at the Shang Qing Divine Hall's headquarters to participate in the selection of elite experts.
Although the Desolate race citizens did not know why the Shang Qing Divine Hall wanted to select so many elite Godly Kings.
However, everyone was guessing that the Shang Qing Divine Hall had never held such an event or competition in the past ten thousand years.
The selection of elite Godly Kings was definitely very important, and there was a deeper meaning behind it.
