On the plains, there was a stone city that stood proudly.
Looking out from the boat, Ling Tian City rose up from the ground on a vast and boundless plain, giving off an extraordinary aura.
In reality, Ling Tian City had five sub-cities surrounding it, surrounding and protecting it.
There was no unified country in this world. Ling Tian City ruled millions of square kilometers. It managed hundreds of millions of people. It could be considered a country.
Gao Zhengyang hadn't been in this world for long, but he had already seen through the rules of this world. Martial artists of all ranks were undoubtedly the middle power of this world. They held the power to rule.
The characteristics of martial artists made them spread out. They were used to self-governance and formed loose alliances. Whoever wanted to unify the world would become the enemy of all martial artists in the world.
Even the Ling Tian Martial Saint wouldn't have the guts to do so.
Gao Zhengyang felt that it was a pity. The human race in this world was very strong and had an absolute leadership position. They weren't able to build a unified country, nor did they have a strong civilization.
If they maintained the status quo, all martial artists would be able to live comfortably. But when the world merged and the laws of the world changed.
These martial artists who focused on cultivating their bodies would have a tragic end.
Although Gao Zhengyang hadn't seen the power of a martial saint, from the skills of Meng Qi and Meng Yuan, he guessed that they weren't at the Saint level.
One had to know that there were dozens of famous martial saints in this world. Including the less famous ones, there were at least a hundred.
The world was so vast, but since ancient times, there had only been a few Saint level martial artists with a physical body. There couldn't be more than a hundred Saint level martial artists with a physical body.
From Xiao Qi's cultivation speed, Gao Zhengyang was almost certain that no martial artist in this world could break through the limits of the Saint level.
But Xiao Qi was different, the secret technique she cultivated was a God level secret technique. This would determine how high she would be in the future. The divine crystal that was planted in her body had changed her body from its roots.
In the words of his previous life, Xiao Qi's genes had been changed. She looked no different from others, but she was of a different race.
Gao Zhengyang admired Xiao Qi, not only because she was similar to him when he was young. It was also because Xiao Qi had talent in martial arts. In terms of combat, he had extraordinary keen senses.
Martial arts techniques could be learned, and combat experience could be accumulated. Only the innate sense of battle could not be learned, nor could it be bestowed.
He would have greater achievements in the future, but he would never be able to master a simple fist technique like Xiao Qi. Gao Zhengyang was looking forward to Seven's growth. He was looking forward to her being like the Golden Eyed Berserk Ape, destroying all gods with her fists.
As for Yun Xi, no matter how she cultivated, she would at most be able to attain the Saint Rank. Gao Zhengyang didn't care about Yun Xi. The reason why he accepted her as a disciple was to find a partner for Seven.
After all, Seven was still young and couldn't handle some things well. Some things were not worth wasting energy to deal with. With Yun Xi's help, he would be able to extricate himself from trivial matters.
Gao Zhengyang believed that with Yun Xi's intelligence, she knew her place and what she should do.
The Heavenly Sword Meet this time was Xiao Qi's chance to make a name for himself.
Gao Zhengyang didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Defeating so many Martial Sages would allow Xiao Qi to build up his confidence. It would also allow her to understand that this world was actually very boring.
Of course, it wasn't a good thing for a 13-14 year old girl to have such a huge reputation. It was easy for one to get lost in it.
But Gao Zhengyang believed that although Seven, a kid who grew up in the mountains, had a pure heart, she was firm enough. She knew what she wanted and what she had to do.
If she was corroded by fame and various desires, then he would have judged wrongly.
Gao Zhengyang could teach Seven and help her. But he couldn't teach her for the rest of his life. Seven should choose for herself.
Seven didn't know what Gao Zhengyang was thinking about. She just felt that his smile had a deeper meaning and it was related to her. She asked, "Master, what are you laughing at? Are you laughing at me?"
Gao Zhengyang shook his head, "What is so funny about you? Aren't you just old fashioned? When you laugh, you have two rows of teeth …"
"Master!"
Although Seven was thick-skinned, her face flushed red from Gao Zhengyang's teasing. She really wanted to punch his smiling face.
Yun Xi couldn't help but smile. She liked Gao Zhengyang in this state. Although his words were sharp, they were interesting and filled with humanity.
Yun Xi stayed by Gao Zhengyang's side for so many days and still didn't know what he liked, what goals he had, or what he wanted to do.
Although Gao Zhengyang was usually gentle and elegant, he was actually a god who stood outside the Nine Heavens. In truth, he seemed to be a god who stood outside the Nine Heavens and couldn't get close to him. Shi Han, who stood in front of him, always felt that she was as small as an ant.
The closer she got to Gao Zhengyang, the clearer and deeper this feeling became. Sometimes, Yun Xi even felt that she didn't even have the right to look up to Gao Zhengyang.
But Gao Zhengyang treated Seven differently. Although he often scolded and scolded her, there was a sense of closeness to him.
Seven always muttered behind his back that her master didn't treat her well. However, Yun Xi envied Seven. She hoped that Gao Zhengyang would scold and scold her once.
Unfortunately, this wish seemed to be an extravagant hope.
Yun Xi slowly understood that this wasn't because Gao Zhengyang was purposely putting on airs. He was just like that and didn't care about unimportant things.
This ignited Yun Xi's fighting spirit. Although Gao Zhengyang didn't like her, to have this opportunity would change her fate. She also wanted to have a career.
Yun Xi felt that this Ling Tian Sword Gathering was a good opportunity. She could use this chance to network and build some foundations. She wasn't as talented as Seven, but she believed that with her intelligence, she would be able to achieve something.
When she met Gao Zhengyang in the future, she would make him look at her in a different light.
Even Seven didn't know about Yun Xi's ambitions. Her attention was attracted by Ling Tian City and she didn't care about Yun Xi's thoughts.
The majestic Ling Tian City's walls were 400 to 500 feet tall. Standing under such a majestic city, even the righteous Seven felt a little guilty.
However, Gao Zhengyang said that he would leave the fighting to her.
Ever since Seven became his disciple, she hadn't met a worthy opponent and didn't fear Martial Sages at all. Instead, she couldn't wait to show off her skills. She wasn't even afraid of Martial Sages, so what if this city was big!
"There were originally a few short mountains here. A few thousand years ago, it was a mountain village. The human race lived here and relied on the steep mountains to resist the demonic beasts. As the population increased, this place was slowly transformed into a majestic city … "
Meng Yuan pointed at the majestic and thick city walls and introduced it proudly.
Gao Zhengyang nodded. There were no spells in this world and they relied on manpower to open up mountains and build cities. One could imagine how difficult it was. Although Ling Tian City wasn't too big and didn't have anything special, it had the aura of the human race.
The ship slowly sailed along the wide waterway into Ling Tian City and stopped at the center of the city.
There were already many Ling Tian Sect disciples waiting there. They were all wearing blue sword robes and were full of energy. However, the way they looked at Gao Zhengyang was very unfriendly.
This group of disciples had long heard that Seven had severely injured Meng Qi and Yu Jin. If it wasn't for the sect leader's strict orders, someone would have stood up and provoked them.
Meng Yuan could only keep a straight face and order the disciples to prepare the carriage. He personally accompanied Gao Zhengyang, Yun Xi, and Seven to Ling Tian Peak.
Ling Tian Peak wasn't very tall. From afar, it looked more like an abnormally huge white stone.
Under the warm winter sun, the white stone shone with a sparkling luster and there were faint clouds rising from the top.
"This is Ling Tian Peak. It was originally a huge Ice Essence Stone. Later on, people discovered that although this cold air was terrifying, it had the ability to temper the body. This place became a treasure land and slowly became known as Ling Tian Peak … "
After getting off the carriage, Meng Yuan introduced the origin of Ling Tian Peak and said, "The Ice Essence Stone's cold air is bone-chilling. Only experts who have completed the Body Tempering Realm can use the cold air to temper their bodies. Those with insufficient cultivation will have their blood frozen by the cold air and become crippled even if they don't die … "
Under Meng Yuan's guidance, Gao Zhengyang and the rest walked up the stairs. After stepping on the white stairs, Gao Zhengyang felt a bone-chilling cold air penetrate his body.
The cold air was cruel and had a strange life force. While destroying the body, it would also give the body a strange life force. It indeed had the magical effect of tempering the body.
Gao Zhengyang warned Yun Xi, "The cold air is cruel. If you can't take it, ask Seven to help you. Don't force yourself."
After walking a few steps, Yun Xi's face was already pale. However, her eyes were still very firm. She only nodded when she heard that, appearing rather calm.
Seven, on the other hand, was elated. She felt that this cold air was not bad. It was like a cold wind on a hot summer day. Her entire body felt comfortable and indescribably comfortable.
Gao Zhengyang felt someone spying on him. He raised his head and saw a couple standing on the peak. His gaze was so sharp that even the evaporating clouds couldn't block it.
With just a slight look, he had already seen through the other party. He quickly retracted his gaze. With the other party's strength, it wasn't worth his effort.
On the peak of Ling Tian Peak, Ling Tian Martial Saint, who was standing with his hands behind his back, frowned slightly. He also felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Ling Tian Martial Saint looked dignified. He had long brows and a thick beard. He was dressed in a golden robe. When he frowned, there was a deep majesty.
Beside Ling Tian Martial Saint stood a lady in white. Her features were picturesque, but there was a hint of melancholy and vicissitudes between her brows. It was obvious that she wasn't young anymore. However, her elegance wasn't much inferior to Ling Tian Martial Saint.
She noticed that Ling Tian Martial Saint's mood wasn't right. She asked curiously, "Why? Is there something wrong with that Gao Zhengyang?"
