Under the guidance of the people from the Ecliptic Palace, they entered the incomparably huge city walls.
The city walls were immeasurably huge. Even with Su Yu's soul perception, he could not see the end of it at all.
"This is a subsidiary city of the Ecliptic Temple. As participants of the Ecliptic Assembly, all of you can rest in the Clear Heart Residence in the city for ten days and wait for the finals to begin." After the guide finished speaking, he left by himself and left them at the city gate.
This was also a test of their adaptability, and could be considered one of the tests of the Ecliptic Assembly.
Even the geniuses of the Ecliptic Palace had looks of awe and unfamiliarity.
Although they had been nurtured by the Ecliptic Palace, it was simply too big. They had never had the chance to come to this largest subsidiary city, and had always trained in remote areas.
It was only recently that they had received news to head to the designated battleground to compete for the top twenty.
Bai Jianfei, Ye Minghua, and the others formed a group and entered the city first.
Su Yu, Ouye Huanyun, Shi Jun, and Liu Ruxian formed a team and entered the city.
When they entered the city for inspection, Su Yu was a little surprised to find that the ordinary soldiers guarding the city gates were all early-stage five-crown emperors.
The team leader was a mid-stage five-crown emperor!
As for the general guarding the gate, he was a peak five-crown emperor.
Su Yu sucked in a breath of cold air.
Someone at the peak of Five Crown Emperor Realm was actually relegated to the position of a gate guard general.
This was simply unimaginable outside.
"I once heard my father say that there are many extremely powerful emperors in the Ecliptic Palace. They are all people nurtured by the Ecliptic Palace, and they are unwilling to leave the Ecliptic Palace. They choose to take up positions and stay in the Ecliptic Palace forever."
Su Yu suddenly understood. Looking at the endless void, the Ecliptic Palace could be said to be the most prosperous place in the Holy Land of the Martial Path.
If they wanted to develop further in the Martial Path, they naturally had a greater chance of staying in the Ecliptic Palace.
Therefore, whether it was guarding the city gates or guarding the formations, they were willing to stay.
Su Yu was silent.
Was the world in their hearts only limited to the Ecliptic Palace?
He knew that he could not blame them for not having foresight.
The Great Beginning Realm was simply too vast. How difficult would it be to find another place to settle down?
Like Ouye Huanyun and the others, they would most likely not be willing to set foot in a more distant place for the rest of their lives.
A voice involuntarily welled up in his heart. "Stay, settle down in the Ecliptic Palace from now on."
With the prosperity of the Ecliptic Palace, Su Yu would also have great achievements.
However, the image of Xia Jingyu and Xian 'er flashed across his mind, and he silently extinguished this thought.
His footsteps could not be stopped.
In this unfamiliar city, the four of them asked around for the location of Bright Heart Residence.
However, for some unknown reason, no one knew that there was a Bright Heart Residence in the city.
"No way, is it really a test of the Ecliptic Palace?" Liu Ruxian was confused. What was the point of such a test?
Su Yu didn't quite understand either, so he thought for a moment and said, "Let's ask him again."
At the same time,
Li Ruochen and the prodigies of the Ecliptic Dao Palace were all asking around about Bright Heart Residence.
The answer they received was the same. They had no idea that there was a Mingxin Residence in the city.
Gradually, they, who had relaxed slightly, tensed up again. They realized that this might be another test.
Everyone's hearts tightened, and they immediately sped up their search. They all wanted to be the first to find Mingxin Residence.
After asking around for an entire day without any results, Ouye Huanyun and the others were starting to get impatient. They did not know if the others had found it before them.
If they fell behind, would it affect their subsequent rankings?
"Let's split up and search. Whoever finds it will pass on the message." Ouye Huanyun gave each of them a transportation jade charm.
Su Yu held the jade charm in his hand and did not continue searching. Instead, he fell into deep thought.
There was no practical point in searching blindly. If Mingxin Residence really existed, there should be people who knew about it.
His mind was racing as he pondered carefully.
After a long while, an idea came to Su Yu's mind. However, he felt that it was too absurd and impossible.
"Let's give it a try!" Su Yu muttered to himself for a moment before he found an unknown inn.
"Sir, do you want to stay in the inn?"
Su Yu said, "You can say that! However, I want to buy the inn and stay in it. "
"Buy … Buy it and stay in it?" The innkeeper was dumbfounded.
"Yes, money is not a problem," Su Yu said.
Soon, the owner appeared and negotiated with Su Yu face to face.
In the end, Su Yu bought the entire inn at a sky-high price of 30,000 Dao Coins.
At the same time, after buying it, Su Yu removed the inn's signboard and changed its name to Mingxin Residence.
The real Mingxin Residence shouldn't exist, Su Yu thought to himself.
Firstly, as the property of a branch of the Ecliptic Palace, it was used to receive the members of the Ecliptic Palace who went to various places to carry out errands. There was no need for a subsidiary city of the main palace to exist.
Secondly, such a famous industry shouldn't be unknown.
The only possibility was that there was no Mingxin Residence.
But why did the people of the Ecliptic Palace request them to search for a non-existent Mingxin Residence?
Hence, Su Yu gave his answer.
Build his own Bright Heart Residence!
Several days later, Ouye Huanyun and the others had practically walked through almost half of the city, but they still couldn't find a single trace of the Enlightened Heart Residence.
Su Yu was even more certain of his guess, so he informed the three of them to come here.
"Brother Su, you found the Bright Heart Residence?" Ouye Huanyun stared at the simple and crude inn with astonishment in his eyes.
The Bright Heart Residence had always been famous for its luxury. How could it be so simple and crude?
"I built it myself," Su Yu replied calmly.
"Self-built?" Ouye Huanyun and the rest of the people were all shocked and looked at Su Yu in disbelief.
How daring of him to think about it. Since he couldn't find Mingxin Residence, he actually built one himself!
"Brother Su, you're too …"
Su Yu said calmly, "Did you find the real Bright Heart Residence?"
"This …" Ouye Huanyun and the others hesitated.
A moment later, Liu Ruxian was the first to give up. She said, "I can't find the Bright Heart Residence no matter what. Since I can't pass the test anyway, I'm too lazy to look for it. I'll just stay here."
Since she had given up, Ouye Huanyun and Shi Jun also lost their motivation to continue searching and settled down here.
Another few days passed.
A Heaven Ruler of the Ecliptic Palace happened to pass by and was surprised to find the Bright Heart Residence. He was surprised and puzzled, and he immediately informed his companions.
They entered together and asked, "Is this the Bright Heart Residence?"
Su Yu had not only bought the inn, but he had also bought the innkeeper. The innkeeper pointed at the signboard. "Can't you read it yourself?"
His attitude of "if you like it or not, you can't stay here" actually made them believe that this was Mingxin Residence.
"How much is it for a night?"
"The owner said it's free."
Hearing this, they were even more certain, because the person in charge of the Ecliptic Palace had said that they could stay in the Bright Heart Residence for free.
Their stay made more Heaven Rulers of the Ecliptic Palace aware of the existence of the Bright Heart Residence, and they all rushed over.
Although this was far from the Bright Heart Residence they had imagined, they had searched so hard for it to no avail. Now that they had found it, what else could they do?
In the end, the twenty people who entered the city arrived at the Bright Heart Residence.
In one of the guest rooms, Su Yu, Ouye Huanyun, and Shi Jun exchanged pointers in the Ecliptic Palace again.
"Well, in the following ranking competition, only Brother Ou Ye can enter the top hundred and become a member of the middle palace. Others like me can only enter the lower palace," Liu Ruxian said with envy and jealousy.
Shi Jun nodded slightly and said, "If one day Brother Ou Ye becomes the person in charge of the branch palace, don't forget about us."
Ouye Huanyun shook his head and chuckled. "Even I was kicked out of the top hundred of the Ecliptic List by that Yu Xian, let alone the Ecliptic Meeting. Many Heaven Rulers outside of the Ecliptic List may appear. I'll be grateful if I can enter the top hundred and fifty. "
Liu Ruxian covered her mouth and chuckled. "Brother Ou Ye, you're too modest. How can there be so many hidden Heaven Rulers?"
Ouye Huanyun just chuckled and looked at Su Yu, who was silent. He asked, "Brother Su, what ranking do you plan to compete for?"
"Top ten," Su Yu said.
Only the top ten would get a Bodhi Fruit.
"Top … ten?" Ouye Huanyun was startled, and Liu Ruxian's face was full of surprise. She then burst into laughter. "Brother Su Yu, you're really humorous."
Shi Jun also shook his head in amusement. "Brother Su, you look so serious. I almost believed you."
Su Yu smiled and said nothing.
Right at that moment, the shopkeeper knocked on the door and said, "Boss, the food is ready."
"Alright." He looked at the other three people. "Let's go."
The ingredients of the Ecliptic Palace were quite special. Many of them contained a shred of the Path Master's comprehension. They couldn't taste such ingredients anywhere else.
Therefore, they had been eating such ingredients for the past few days.
The four of them left the room.
As soon as they came out, they ran into Li Ruochen in the corridor.
He was alone and had a satisfied look on his face.
When he saw Su Yu, he couldn't help but laugh. "Oh? You're really lucky to have found this place. "
Hearing this, Ouye Huanyun and the other two looked at each other in dismay. This place was built by Su Yu!
Su Yu's face was calm. "Oh? Do you have any advice for me?"
Li Ruochen looked at Liu Ruxian, who was standing next to Su Yu, and looked slightly displeased. "I don't have any advice for you. I'm just reminding you on behalf of Yun Zhantian."
"Speak."
"You're indebted to the Four Symbol Mansion, and you've relied on their recommendation letter to get to where you are now. You must keep this in mind, understand?" Li Ruochen sounded like he was lecturing Su Yu.
His motive was obvious. He wanted to belittle Su Yu in front of Liu Ruxian.
He wanted to let her know that Su Yu, whom she had taken a fancy to, was someone who didn't even qualify to participate in the Ecliptic Palace Meet.
Su Yu's face was calm, and he didn't say anything.
"Without the Four Symbol Mansion's charity, you wouldn't be where you are now. I hope that, no matter what ranking you get, you'll go back and repay their kindness," Li Ruochen said. "This is the basic principle of being a human …"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Su Yu calmly.
"Are you from the Four Symbol Mansion?"
"No, but I …"
"What does that have to do with you? Do I need you to say anything?" Su Yu's eyes were cold.
Li Ruochen shook his head. "I'm teaching you how to be a human, but you won't listen …"
Su Yu said calmly, "Fine, then I'll teach you how to be a human."
He didn't say a word, but took out a recommendation letter. It was the letter that Yun Qianshuang had given him, and it had the Four Symbol Mansion's seal on it.
