The young man was Jianchen. Uncle Xiu's arrival had completely changed Jianchen's original plans. Now, he had already given up on his identity as a fighter. He planned on going to the Holy Emperor's Empire with another identity before joining the Radiant Saint Master Union and becoming a core member.
Fortunately, there had never been an existence who was both a fighter and a Radiant Saint Master on the Tian Yuan Continent. This gave Jianchen an additional layer of protection.
Jianchen did not care about the White Tiger on his head at all. He also stared at the city in front of him with great curiosity. He murmured, "Are those the seven capital cities of the Tian Yuan Continent? They really are extremely large. I can actually sense a primordial presence from the walls that seem like dragons crawling on the ground. It's so vast that it actually makes me feel pressured."
"Hehe, esteemed Radiant Saint Master, this must be your first time in the City of God, right? Your understanding of the city is not as clear as ours. It's said that the seven capital cities of the Tian Yuan Continent were forcefully uprooted from the ground by several experts who had reached the level of the Holy Emperor. Not only are the cities extremely tough, but they are also protected by a powerful mysterious power. The defences of the cities are far greater than anyone can imagine. It's said that no one on the Tian Yuan Continent has been able to get through the defences of the seven capital cities. If the barriers are activated, even the Ninth Heavenly Layer experts of the Holy Emperor won't be able to get through," a mercenary said as he rode on the side of the carriage. He was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance. He was honest and sincere, and he was also the captain of the small mercenary group. Although he was only an Earth Saint Master, he was still a native of the Holy Emperor's Empire, so he knew the City of God extremely well.
"Captain Hu Yun, are you saying that the seven capital cities of the Tian Yuan Continent were uprooted from the ground by those supreme experts in ancient times?" Jianchen's eyes sparkled as he stared at the middle-aged man who spoke. There was also a trace of disbelief in his eyes.
Commander Hu Yun chuckled, "Yeah, this rumor is no secret in our Holy Emperor's Empire. It's said that the seven capital cities of the Tian Yuan Continent were all uprooted from the ground by several Holy Emperor experts working together. Perhaps it should be said that they grew from the ground. Although countless years have passed since then, the seven capital cities still possess great power. The reinforced walls are impossible to break through."
Jianchen took a deep breath. He looked at the tall city wall that was approaching from afar. He found it hard to imagine how powerful and terrifying it would be to pull such a huge city out of the ground.
The rest of the journey was silent. Jianchen sat in the luxurious carriage as he slowly made his way to the City of God under the protection of a group of mercenaries.
The walls of the City of God were a hundred meters tall. They were completely snow-white and as smooth as a mirror. There were no cracks at all. The entire wall seemed to be a single piece, as if it had been created by the world itself. The snow-white wall actually reflected a hazy white light under the sunlight. It was filled with holiness.
The sixteen tall city gates were filled with hubbub of voices. There was an endless stream of mercenaries and merchants going in and out of the city. Every city gate was filled with soldiers wearing silver white armor. Their cold gazes swept past the people who were constantly going in and out of the city. However, every team that entered the City of God had to pay a shiny gold coin as the entrance fee. This was one of the sources of income for the three great families of the Holy Empire.
When Jianchen passed by the gates of the City of God, he could not help but become stern. This was because he could clearly sense an extremely pure and tremendous energy hidden within the walls of the city. For the first time, Jianchen felt so insignificant before this energy, like he was a small boat floating in the ocean. At the same time, a tremendous pressure enveloped Jianchen's entire soul, making him feel like he was facing an undefeatable enemy. He did not even dare to think about resisting.
"Is this the energy of the Holy Emperor? Looks like the rumors are true. The seven capital cities of the Tian Yuan Continent really were uprooted by the Holy Emperor in ancient times, "Jianchen was secretly shocked.
The carriage entered the City of God without any obstructions. It continued on for another fifty kilometers before Jianchen dismounted. He casually tossed a pouch filled with purple coins to captain Hu Yun before turning around and leaving.
Commander Hu Yun looked at the pouch in his hand that was filled to the brim with purple coins. He was immediately surprised and said, "Esteemed Radiant Saint Master, there's no need for this much. Your commission is too much."
"Captain Hu Yun, it's been hard on our brothers along the way. Just treat the rest as extra compensation." Jianchen's voice rang out from up ahead. Jianchen continued onward without even looking back, disappearing into the busy streets very quickly.
The streets of the City of God were extremely wide, enough for over a dozen carriages to travel side by side. Jianchen looked around as he walked along the wide streets. He would raise his head to look at the sky from time to time. Ever since he had entered the City of God, he could clearly sense that the energy of the world here was several times denser than outside. The closer he was to the center of the city, the denser the energy of the world would be. Other than that, the Radiant Saint Force in the surroundings was several times denser as well. If he used Radiant Saint Force here, Jianchen believed that he would only need a single moment to push the density of his Radiant Saint Force to the limit.
Other than that, there were many experts in the City of God as well. Almost half of the people or mercenaries on the streets were Earth Saint Masters. Even Heaven Saint Masters were rather common. Radiant Saint Masters, who were rarely seen in the outside world, could only be regarded as common here. They could be seen everywhere.
As one of the seven capital cities of the Tian Yuan Continent, the City of God was not only a place where Radiant Saint Masters gathered, it was also a place where experts gathered.
However, there was one thing that caught Jianchen's attention. He saw quite a few Radiant Saint Masters on the streets, but all of them wore badges of various colors on their chests without exception. They were red, orange, yellow, green, and so on.
The White Tiger did not continue to sleep either. It stood on Jianchen's head with its head held high and its chest puffed out. It looked around curiously with its large, bright eyes, as if it was filled with curiosity about everything here.
At this moment, the sound of hooves rang out in the distance. Over ten people riding magical beasts approached Jianchen. The two people at the very front were a man and woman in their twenties. The man wore azure robes. He was tall and sturdy, with a stocky build. The woman wore white robes. She was pretty and pretty. Her skin was white, and she was rather pretty. Her beautiful eyes looked at the mercenaries on the two sides of the street with some disdain. A sliver of pride appeared between her brows.
"Hmm?" When the woman's gaze inadvertently glanced at Jianchen, she immediately made eye contact with the White Tiger on Jianchen's shoulder. The White Tiger's pure and intelligent gaze was immediately imprinted in the woman's mind.
"What a cute little beast!" The woman subconsciously cried out. Her eyes shone as she stared at the White Tiger. Her expression was filled with unconcealable love.
The young man beside the woman followed the woman's gaze and discovered the existence of the little white tiger. He immediately turned his head and smiled at the woman. "Since little sister likes it, I'll buy it for you as a gift." With that, the young man controlled his magical beast to block Jianchen's path. He studied Jianchen and discovered that he was not a member of a large clan in the City of God. He immediately relaxed and said, "Brother, my sister has taken a liking to your little beast. Name a price, and I'll buy it." The young man smiled, but his voice was extremely cold. He spoke to Jianchen in a commanding tone.
Jianchen frowned slightly. He did not even glance at the young man as he coldly replied, "I'm not selling." With that, he moved around the young man.
The young man's eyes turned cold. He looked at Jian Chen's slender figure and said, "From your appearance, you should be a Radiant Saint Master. May I ask why you don't wear a Radiant Saint Master's badge?"
"Badge?" When Jianchen heard that, he was interested. He immediately thought of the badges on the chests of the Radiant Saint Masters he had encountered along the way.
"Looks like this badge is issued by the Radiant Saint Master Union. It should be a symbol of status for Radiant Saint Masters," Jianchen thought.
The white-robed woman on a Class 4 Magical Beast arrived before Jianchen arrogantly. She studied Jianchen, but when she saw Jianchen's face, she immediately became stunned. However, a sliver of disdain appeared in her eyes soon after. She said, "You're quite handsome. Looking at your figure and appearance, you really do seem like a Radiant Saint Master. However, you don't wear a badge issued by the Radiant Saint Master Union. You must have just awakened your abilities as a Radiant Saint Master and haven't been verified by the union yet."
"Whatever. Even if you're only a Class 1 Radiant Saint Master, or perhaps not even a Class 1 Radiant Saint Master, it's all because I find you pleasing to the eye. Give the infant beast to me, and I'll make an exception and take in a male follower as a reward. As long as you follow me, I'll teach you Radiant Artes."
Jian Chen raised his head to look at the woman who sat on the magical beast and looked down at him. He saw that she actually wore a green badge on her chest as well.
Jianchen did not know what the badges represented, but he knew that green badges were rather rare. At the very least, only two or three of the Radiant Saint Masters he had seen wore green badges. The others all wore red, orange, and yellow badges.
"Sorry, I'm not selling this beast, nor will I offer it to anyone," Jianchen declined without any hesitation before walking away without even looking back.
