Within a quiet valley, Jiang Chen was sitting with his legs crossed on top of a shiny boulder. He had entered the optimal state of cultivation. Not far from him, Da Huang Dog was pacing back and forth while mumbling to himself. Obviously, he was not satisfied with the fact that he had once again assumed the role of Jiang Chen's guardian.
"Damn brat, you stole this master dog's spoils of war, and even asked this master dog to protect you!"
Da Huang Dog was drooling at Jiang Chen. Although he said that, he still fulfilled his duty as Jiang Chen's guardian.
Twenty minutes later, Jiang Chen woke up from his cultivation state. His aura had once again become stronger. Not only did the Barbarian Earth Bull's demon soul allow him to successfully absorb the Earth Jail's innate ability, it had also allowed him to form another four hundred Dragon Marks, bringing the total number of Dragon Marks in his body to a total of nineteen four hundred. He was only six hundred Dragon Marks away from breaking through to the Combat King realm.
Although it was only six hundred Dragon Marks, it wasn't something that could be achieved easily. The higher the level of Dragon Marks, the harder it would be to form more Dragon Marks, especially when one was about to break through to the next realm.
However, Jiang Chen didn't care about that. With his current combat strength, he could easily kill a Second Grade Combat King, and he could even put up a fight against a Third Grade Combat King. Once he broke through to the Combat King realm, Jiang Chen was confident that he could kill a Third Grade Combat King, and a Fourth Grade Combat King. This was the frightening power of the Dragon Transformation skill.
"How is it?"
Da Huang Dog quickly approached Jiang Chen and asked.
"Excellent."
Jiang Chen licked his lips. Without a doubt, the addition of the Earth Jail was like adding another trump card to his arsenal.
"Can you use the Earth Jail's innate ability now?"
Da Huang Dog continued asking.
"Of course."
As Jiang Chen spoke, his feet suddenly stomped. A force rushed out from the ground and landed on Da Huang Dog's body. Da Huang Dog cried out miserably as he staggered and nearly fell to the ground. If it weren't for Jiang Chen's timely retraction of the force, Da Huang Dog would have been doomed to another tragedy.
"Damn you, can't you be a little more interesting?"
Da Huang Dog bared his teeth at Jiang Chen, but his eyes were filled with excitement. He could clearly feel that when Jiang Chen used Earth Prison, it was much stronger than when the Barbarian Earth Bull used it.
Da Huang Dog couldn't help but admit that Jiang Chen was a super freak. Not only did he absorb the bloodline of other demon beasts, he was also able to use an even stronger innate ability. What was even more depressing was that Jiang Chen had only used twenty minutes to completely absorb an innate ability, turning it into his own. A situation like this could no longer be described with just the word 'terrifying'.
"Using the Earth Jail to launch a sneak attack is indeed very effective. However, this innate ability also has its drawbacks."
Jiang Chen said, "This innate ability has to borrow the power of the earth. In other words, it can only be effective when the enemy is on the ground. If the enemy is fighting in the sky, this innate ability is basically useless."
Every innate ability had its own drawbacks, and the Earth Jail was no exception. Furthermore, the drawbacks were very obvious, especially after one reached the Combat King realm. Once they started fighting, they would choose to fight in the sky, because if they fought on the ground, the destructive power would be too great.
This drawback basically indicated that an innate ability like the Earth Jail could only be used for a sneak attack, when the enemy was caught off guard. No matter what, it was still a pretty good trump card.
After killing the Barbarian Earth Bull, Jiang Chen had obtained quite a lot of benefits. A man and a dog continued moving forward, flying in the direction of the Divine Continent. Their speed was extremely fast, and after one day, they successfully walked out of the mountain range and arrived at the border of the Divine Continent.
"I'm finally back."
Jiang Chen stood in the sky. He stretched his arms, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath of the air. It had been more than a hundred years, and he had never dreamed that he would be able to return in such a way.
"What do you mean, I'm back?"
Da Huang Dog stared at Jiang Chen in a daze.
"Ahem, nothing. Don't you think the natural energy in the Divine Continent is very rich?"
Jiang Chen coughed lightly. He knew he had said something inappropriate, so he quickly changed the topic.
"The natural energy in this place is indeed rich. Just the border is already fifteen times richer than the natural energy in the Eastern Continent."
Da Huang Dog nodded. He could not help but sigh at the richness of the natural energy in the Divine Continent. Moreover, this was only the most remote border. If they were at the center of the Divine Continent, the natural energy there would be at least a hundred times richer than in the Eastern Continent.
"There should be a human city not far ahead. Let's go and gather some information first, and see if we can meet Ah Yan and the others."
After saying that, Jiang Chen took the lead and flew forward.
"Kid, you seem to know a lot about the Divine Continent, don't you?"
Da Huang Dog asked curiously.
"I once obtained a map of the Divine Continent, so I know a bit about it. That's all."
Jiang Chen shrugged and casually lied.
"A map of the Divine Continent? Then, where are we now? "
Da Huang Dog asked.
"We're at the border of the Divine Continent, so we should be in the territory of Xuanyu."
Jiang Chen said. In the past hundred years, because he had opened the gate to the Realm of Immortals, the laws of the Realm of Immortals had spread down, causing the forces in the Divine Continent to undergo earth-shaking changes. The people had also changed greatly, but the division of territories should not change.
"Hurry up and tell Master Dog how the territories of the Divine Continent are divided."
Da Huang Dog asked impatiently. Now that they had arrived at the vast and boundless Divine Continent, Da Huang Dog was extremely excited.
"There are eight forbidden areas in the Divine Continent, each occupying a different location. According to the location of these eight forbidden areas, the Divine Continent is divided into eight regions. Xuanyu is the weakest among the eight regions, but even Xuanyu is ten times the size of the Eastern Continent. You can't underestimate it. Within Xuanyu, there are a total of eighteen provinces, and each province is much larger than the province of the Eastern Continent. A small place like Qi Province can't be compared to them. Within each province, there are various forces of various sizes."
Jiang Chen said, explaining the rough division of the Divine Continent to Da Huang Dog.
Even though Da Huang Dog was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he heard Jiang Chen's words. The Divine Continent was just too big. No wonder it was the center of the Saint Origin World. Among the eight big provinces, Xuanyu was the weakest one. Even the weakest one was ten times the size of the Eastern Continent. Not to mention the eighteen provinces, there were endless water bodies, endless mountain ranges, and all kinds of races. It was a world full of great waves.
Compared to the Divine Continent, the Eastern Continent was simply a tiny place.
"Right now, we should be in one of the prefectures of the Xuan Region. Which prefecture is it?"
Da Huang Dog asked again.
"I have no idea. We'll find a place with a lot of people and ask around."
Jiang Chen replied with a smile. Compared to the once greatest Saint underneath the heavens, Xuanyu was just a small place, and he rarely came to places like this. Although he could tell that they were in Xuanyu, he had no idea which province it was in Xuanyu.
Soon, a vague shape of a city appeared in front of Jiang Chen and Da Huang Dog. Although they were far away from it, they could still feel the magnificence of the city.
"Just a city in a border region has such a huge scale, it's really magnificent!"
Da Huang Dog said with a sigh.
"Let's go, let's go check out the city."
Jiang Chen said. He couldn't help but increase his speed.
It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly in the sky. Crowds of people were coming and going outside the city. Some were merchants, and some were rogue cultivators. Looking into the distance, Combat Soul warriors could be seen everywhere, and Divine Core warriors were as many as the hairs on a cow.
In the Eastern Continent, a Combat Soul warrior was a supreme warrior, and no matter where he went, he would be welcomed and respected. But here, Combat Soul warriors could be seen everywhere, and it wasn't a rare sight at all.
There were no doors on either side of the majestic city gate. A huge golden board hung above the gate, and three words were engraved on it, 'Hongyue City'.
The city was named Hongyue, a rainbow that would last through the ages and spread across the world. Even Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh. This was a really good name.
In front of the city gate, a few guards were standing on both sides, and they were yelling at the people who wanted to enter the city to pay.
"Hurry up, one Earth Elixir for each person!"
The leader of the guards shouted loudly.
"Damn it, the mayor of Hongyue City is too ruthless, he actually increased the entrance fee to one Earth Elixir!"
"Don't say anymore, we have no choice but to trade in the city. It's just one Earth Elixir, it's within the range we can afford."
"If only we could have a place to stay in the city, then we wouldn't need to pay any entrance fee."
"Stop dreaming, the place to stay in Hongyue City is too expensive, we can't afford it!"
… …
Everyone was discussing in low voices. They all felt that the entrance fee was too expensive, but Hongyue City was a trade hub city, and many powers wanted to trade in it. So, there was nothing they could do about it.
"Hehe, the City Lord's Mansion must be very rich if it's collecting money like this. Why don't we sneak into the City Lord's Mansion and steal it? Kaka …"
Da Huang Dog had a sinister smile on his face, and his eyes were glowing brightly. This guy had already set his eyes on the City Lord's Mansion before they even entered the city. Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly. Bringing this dog along was no different than bringing a huge trouble. If there was a guy in this world who could stir up trouble, it would definitely be Da Huang Dog.
However, what Da Huang Dog said just now had made Jiang Chen's heart beat faster. Everyone had to pay one Earth Elixir to enter the city, and he would be able to earn a lot of money in just one day. If it was accumulated over a long period of time, it would be a huge fortune.
Although Jiang Chen had taken a huge amount of Elixir and Earth Elixir from the Martial Saint Dynasty when he left, so he wasn't lacking in money, he was still cultivating the Dragon Transformation skill, and every step he took required a huge amount of Earth Elixir. No matter how much Earth Elixir he had, it would be even better if he had Heaven Elixir.
"You two, two Earth Elixir."
The guard shouted at Jiang Chen and Da Huang Dog.
"Even a dog needs money?"
