They were facing the first trial of the human race.
Everyone was silent. Only the cries of the ferocious birds and beasts could be heard. The ancient city was full of oppression.
"Enter!"
Finally, on the second day of Zhou Tong's arrival, a divine will was transmitted over. It reverberated like a golden bell, causing many people's bones to tremble and their blood to surge. They were overwhelmed with shock.
"How can it be so fast? It's been less than half a year since the last opening! Logically speaking, there should still be more than two months. Why does it feel like an exception has been made this time? "Some people were very shocked. They didn't expect the speed of the opening to be so fast.
"Half a year isn't necessarily a fixed number. I've heard that there must be a powerhouse who has reached the level of seed before everyone can enter. Because of this, people sometimes have to wait for five years." Some people looked at Zhou Tong who was standing at the front and were incomparably shocked. This person could actually make the guide of the first trial make an exception and open the door in advance?
Many people knew the rules here and looked at Zhou Tong in shock.
The ancient city gate creaked open. It was incomparably heavy. This was a huge city standing in the starry sky. The environment inside was suitable for human survival.
All the sky-prides either rode on their mounts or traveled on foot.
The ancient city's aura was astonishing. It was tall and grand, and there were many soldiers guarding it.
However, there weren't many soldiers. They were all wearing armor with a cold metallic luster. They were like teams of heavenly soldiers, eyeing everyone covetously.
These soldiers had a terrifying murderous aura on them. They were all failures on this path. In the end, they had no choice but to become the guards of this trial.
There wasn't any disturbance in the process of entering the city. Zhou Tong was incomparably powerful. He took the lead and directly entered the city. The others only dared to follow behind him after seeing him enter the city.
"I'm warning you in advance. Enter the first city of the human race. Even if you're a dragon, you have to coil up. Even if you're a tiger, you have to lie down. No one can behave atrociously here. Anyone who violates the rules will be killed without mercy!"
A tall soldier wearing black iron clothes and holding a bronze halberd stared at Zhou Tong who was at the front. The cold light in his eyes was soul-stirring. It was as if a monstrous murderous aura was bursting out.
His tone was unkind as he warned Zhou Tong that he was going to take him down a notch.
"I'm warning you too. Don't provoke me, or no one in this world will be able to save you!" Zhou Tong looked at the man at the same time, his eyes filled with an invincible conviction.
One sentence, one look. Zhou Tong didn't say anything more and walked straight ahead.
"Oh!" However, with just this one glance, this person immediately felt that the Zhou Tong before him had changed. It was as if he had turned into a giant that reached the heavens and the earth, and he was just an ant under the other party's feet. He was so shocked that he was unable to move.
When Zhou Tong was far away, the soldier finally reacted. A trace of fear flashed across his face, and the arm holding the bronze halberd trembled.
This person was a failure on the Ancient Path of the Human Race, and his Dao Heart had long since been shattered. In the face of Zhou Tong's terrifying momentum and invincible willpower, how could he withstand it?
And now, after being struck by Zhou Tong's invincible momentum, not to mention repairing his Dao Heart, it was likely that it had been trampled into the ground, to the point where it couldn't even be dug out.
On the other side, Zhou Tong walked into the ancient city.
This city was full of vitality. Ancient trees with lush foliage were planted on both sides of the road, and there were children playing on the road. There were also pill shops, weapon shops, restaurants, inns, and casinos on both sides of the road.
As Zhou Tong's group came in, the people in the shops on both sides of the road looked out. Many people who were doing business on the street temporarily moved to the alleys to make way for them.
This was something that only happened once every few years to allow outside heaven's chosen cultivators to enter, so all the shops gave way to Zhou Tong's group.
Not far away, there were soldiers leading the group to the central square of the city.
The ground here was paved with grayish-brown stone slabs, and there were many marks carved on them with the passage of time. There was a tall stone platform in front of them, and an old man appeared silently.
His figure was blurry, and only his eyes were like golden lamps, shooting out terrifying divine light in the distorted void. He said, "I'm a guide, and also the lord of this city. I only want to say a few things. First, not everyone can continue on the Ancient Path. You all have to recuperate, and soon you'll enter a trial ground to undergo the first test and selection. Second, during the period of time you're staying in the city, you're strictly prohibited from fighting. Alright, disperse, find a place to stay, and recuperate. "
Everyone thought that there would be more detailed explanations, but there were only these two points, and many things that they didn't understand.
"Senior City Lord, I want to know what to do if we're attacked on our own initiative?" someone asked.
"You can defend yourself." After saying this, the blurry figure instantly dimmed, and disappeared on the spot.
The guide's words were too simple, and many people were a little speechless, but they didn't dare to be dissatisfied. In the end, they could only disperse and find a place to stay.
At this time, the originally peaceful street was bustling again. Many peddlers walked out on the street again, hawking their wares.
"Scarlet Moon Fruit Skewers, thousand-year-old ancient medicinal fruits, sweet and crispy."
"Flood Dragon Meat Buns, thin skin and big stuffing, free if not delicious."
The ancient city was bustling, and it didn't seem like a place for immortal cultivators. Instead, it was filled with the aura of the mortal world, which made many people dumbfounded.
Zhou Tong wandered around the ancient city. The goods here were extremely expensive, and any item would cost a divine source to buy. The reason was that this was the galaxy, and resources were scarce, so the items here were extremely valuable.
After walking around for a while, Zhou Tong casually found an inn to stay in.
For the next few days, it was very quiet here.
At dawn on the fifth day, the sound of a bugle horn rang out, boundless and distant.
Instantly, all the prodigies gathered at the square in the center of the city.
The guide appeared again, and he said, "This is the horn used by the ancestors of the human race when they opened up the universe and fought at the borders. All of you, listen up. Today, there is only one goal in entering the trial ground, and that is to obtain the Great Dao profundity of that world. If you don't have such comprehension, stop here!"
"I will lead you on the road. Follow me!" A Heavenly Wolf walked out with a man on its back.
This was the commander in charge of guarding the city, and he was a Saint. Behind him were more than 20 soldiers. They were wearing simple armor, and their iron clothes were cold. They were full of killing intent.
A bolt of lightning flashed, and the void cracked open. A special altar appeared above the square. It was extremely huge, and everyone could stand on it without being crowded.
No one spoke. Only the commander chanted ancient syllables to activate the teleportation array.
Boom!
A huge beam of light shot out, piercing through the universe and tearing open a wide spatial tunnel that led to the unknown shore.
"Let's go!" The commander controlled the Heavenly Wolf and was the first to enter the spatial tunnel. The prodigies who came to the ancient road trial followed closely behind, and the 20 soldiers were the last to hold the line.
This was an extremely special ancient road, and no one knew which star region it led to. During the teleportation process, everyone felt that time and space had become chaotic.
"The ancestors of the human race really put in a lot of effort. They actually tampered with the teleportation process. If it weren't for my proficiency in the Gui race's treasured techniques and the Dao of Time and Space, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to sense where the teleportation target was!" Zhou Tong quietly felt the flow of time and space around him in the spatial tunnel.
After an unknown period of time, everyone's bodies trembled. They rushed out of the spatial tunnel and arrived in the cold universe.
Looking back, they couldn't see where the first trial of the human race was. They didn't know how far it was.
And not far from them, there was a huge island.
This island looked more majestic than an ancient star, and it had an aura of vicissitudes. Who knew how many calamities it had experienced.
