Lu Ming's cultivation started to increase rapidly.
After reaching the 2nd Layer Martial King Realm, the amount of Spiritual Crystals needed to increase one's cultivation had increased significantly.
When Lu Ming had refined 50,000 Spiritual Crystals, Lu Ming's cultivation had only increased from the early 2nd Layer Martial King Realm to the mid 2nd Layer Martial King Realm.
50,000 Spiritual Crystals!
When he was at the 1st Layer Martial King Realm, he only needed 30,000 Spiritual Crystals to increase his cultivation level. When he reached the 2nd Layer Martial King Realm, it increased to 50,000 Spiritual Crystals.
Lu Ming did not stop and continued to take out more Spiritual Crystals.
Increase, increase, increase at a crazy rate.
In less than a day, Lu Ming had refined all 180,000 Spiritual Crystals. Lu Ming's cultivation had also increased to the peak of the 2nd Layer Martial King Realm.
If he wanted to reach the 3rd Layer Martial King Realm, he would need more resources.
In the next moment, Lu Ming walked out of the Temple of Paragon and looked to the west.
"Tian Xuan Branch Palace, Sheng Family, I, Lu Ming, am coming!"
Whoosh!
With a flash of light, Lu Ming turned into a beam of light and rushed toward the Tian Xuan Branch Palace.
Not long after, he passed by the place where he had been ambushed by the Heavenly Corpse Sect.
At this moment, there were no other traces of the ambush except for some blood on the ground.
The corpses of the Heavenly Corpse Sect must have been taken away by the Heavenly Corpse Sect.
Lu Ming paused for a moment before he turned into a beam of light and continued to head toward the Tian Xuan Branch Palace.
Lu Ming's speed was much faster since he was traveling alone. The journey that would have taken him half a month was completed in seven days by Lu Ming.
An ancient city appeared in front of him.
The city was completely black and there were marks of swords and sabers on it. It was filled with an ancient aura as if it had traveled through time and space from the ancient era.
The area of this city was not large. Compared to the Myriad Star City, it was much smaller. However, the reputation of this city was many times greater than that of the Myriad Star City.
This was because the city was called Tianxuan City. This Tianxuan City was the branch palace of the Heavenly Emperor Divine Palace in the Tianxuan Domain.
Legend had it that Tianxuan City had existed for countless years. It had been preserved from the Primordial Era, and had existed for over a million years.
This city had been built by human powerhouses in the ancient times. The entire city was built on a super-large spiritual eye and a dao eye.
Spiritual Eye could provide an endless supply of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Therefore, the Spiritual Qi in Tianxuan City was the densest in the Tianxuan Domain.
The Dao Eye contained the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
It was said that those who cultivated in Tianxuan City would be able to comprehend Force and Intent faster than those who cultivated in other places.
Growing up in Tianxuan City, one could say that he was blessed by the heavens.
Therefore, there were no ordinary people in Tianxuan City. There were only people from the Emperor Heavenly Divine Palace.
If people outside the Emperor Heavenly Divine Palace wanted to enter, they would have to pay a huge price.
Within a thousand miles around Tianxuan City, there were eight huge satellite cities. They surrounded Tianxuan City like stars surrounding the moon, continuously providing resources to Tianxuan City.
Lu Ming watched for a while before flying towards Tian Xuan City.
When Lu Ming was within ten miles of Tianxuan City, he suddenly felt a strong pressure pressing down on his body.
Lu Ming could not help but land on the ground.
"Indeed, there is an inscription array in Tianxuan City that restricts people from flying!"
Lu Ming's eyes flickered.
He was already clear about this point. The entire Tianxuan City had been inscribed with a powerful inscription array by ancient powerhouses. It was impenetrable and hard for outsiders to break through. At the same time, there was a flight restriction array. Not to mention a Martial Ancestor, even a Martial King would find it hard to fly.
Lu Ming had heard that if one wanted to fly in Tianxuan City, one would have to be at least a Peak King.
Lu Ming walked towards Tianxuan City on foot.
The gates of Tianxuan City were open, and there were people coming in and out occasionally.
There was a group of soldiers guarding the entrance. Every soldier was emitting a powerful aura.
"So strong. There are fifteen of them, and five of them are Low Tier Kings. The other ten are all Third Layer Martial Kings!"
When Lu Ming saw the group of soldiers at the gates, his heart skipped a beat. He was extremely shocked.
This was just a group of soldiers guarding the gates, and yet they were already so terrifying. He wondered how many powerhouses were in Tianxuan City.
Without a doubt, there were as many powerhouses as there were clouds. Eighty percent of the powerhouses of the Tianxuan Region's Emperor Heaven Divine Palace were here.
Lu Ming walked towards the gates with large strides.
"Stop right there. Who are you? Only disciples of the Emperor Heaven Divine Palace can enter this place. If you are not a member of the Emperor Heaven Divine Palace, leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy! "
A soldier in metal armor stared at Lu Ming. His eyes were like two sharp swords, stabbing into Lu Ming's body.
"I am Lu Ming, a Divine Guard of the Eastern Branch Palace. This is my Divine Guard Token."
Lu Ming took out his Divine Guard Token and handed it to the soldier.
"Divine Guard of the Eastern Branch Palace?"
The soldier in metal armor was a little puzzled. He took the token and scanned it with his mind. Then, his eyes calmed down.
"You are indeed a Divine Guard of the Eastern Branch Palace. Furthermore, you are the newest Eastern Sky Divine Guard. Could it be that you are sent from the east as reinforcements? Why are you the only one here? "
The soldier in metal armor returned the Divine Guard Token to Lu Ming as he muttered doubtfully.
"Can I enter the city now?"
Lu Ming asked.
"Since you are a Divine Guard, you can enter the city!"
The soldier in metal armor revealed a smile.
Just as Lu Ming was about to enter the city, a discordant voice rang out at this moment.
"Little bastard, it's you? You are not dead yet? "
A gloomy voice rang out.
Lu Ming was stunned and looked towards the city gates.
A few figures walked out from the city gates. One of them stared at Lu Ming with a gloomy face.
"Sheng Kong!"
Lu Ming's eyes narrowed. He did not expect to meet Sheng Kong the moment he arrived.
There were two other young men beside Sheng Kong that Lu Ming had never seen before.
"Sheng Kong, is he the brat from the east that you were talking about?"
A tall young man looked coldly at Lu Ming.
"That's right, it's him!"
Sheng Kong's eyes flashed with killing intent as he looked at Lu Ming and said, "Lu Ming, I didn't expect you to be so lucky."
"Sheng Kong, what do you mean by that? Did you know that I would be in danger? "
Lu Ming's eyes flickered as he asked.
Could it be that the Sheng Family had informed the Heavenly Corpse Sect and betrayed them?
"Hehe, what's so strange about that? We received the news two days ago that the first batch of reinforcements sent by the Eastern Sub-Palace had been ambushed by the Heavenly Corpse Sect on the way. They were completely annihilated, and none of them managed to escape. You were among the first batch of reinforcements, right?"
Sheng Kong sneered.
"That's right!"
Lu Ming said.
"Lu Ming, how dare you betray the Heavenly Divine Palace and secretly contact the Heavenly Corpse Sect. Dozens of Heavenly Divine Guards from the Heavenly Divine Palace were killed. You really deserve to die. Today, I will cripple you as a warning to others!
Sheng Kong suddenly shouted.
"Sheng Kong, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Lu Ming said coldly with a calm expression.
"Nonsense? Lu Ming, how did the Heavenly Corpse Sect know about your whereabouts? If someone did not collude with the Heavenly Corpse Sect, how could this have happened? Moreover, the first batch of reinforcements was completely annihilated. There were even three Kings in the group. But what is your cultivation base? Yet, you survived. If you are not a traitor, who else can you be? "
