The Ye Clan was located in Mount Qi, the core area of all human forces. Mount Qi was very vast, and apart from the Ye Clan, there were several other powerful forces stationed here.
However, the Royal Court was different. The Royal Court wasn't on the Ancient Barrens Continent, but hung high above the Nine Heavens. It was a colossus formed by countless independent small worlds.
The Royal Court that hung high above the Ninth Heaven not only showed its lofty status, but it also meant that it had to bear the greatest risk from the outside world, shielding the entire Human Race from wind and rain. Just like the Ye Clan, the place where the Royal Court was located was also suppressing a huge crack with the Demon Realm. No one knew which powerful demon had torn it open in the past, but it still could not be completely repaired. It could only be considered a suppression. The Royal Court was built here mostly to suppress this largest passage to the Demon Realm among the Human Race.
Ye Xiwen flew all the way up. The Nine Heavens where the Royal Court was located was also a special space. If Ye Xiwen flew like this, he would have already flown out of the atmosphere and entered the endless starry sky.
But now, after flying for three days and three nights, he finally saw what the Royal Court looked like. There were endless palaces that stretched on endlessly.
Tens of thousands of golden lights rolled red, and thousands of auspicious auras spewed out purple mist. The palaces were dark green and made of colored glass. They were bright, and there were several large pillars in the inner walls. Golden-scaled Dazzling Sun Scarlet Bearded Dragons coiled around the pillars. There were also several long bridges with colorful Red-Crowned Phoenixes hovering in the sky.
Ye Xiwen could feel a strong burst of 'Spirit Energy' blowing against his face as he approached. It was an extremely pure 'Spirit Energy'. Just taking a breath of it would make one feel as if all the bones in his body had been opened. Cultivating in this place was several times faster than cultivating in the ordinary places of the ancient wilderness.
The closer he got to the Royal Court, the stronger the aura became.
However, as he continued to fly upwards, he discovered that there were countless astral winds densely surrounding the royal court. These astral winds were extremely terrifying, and even a Heaven Realm expert would be blown to pieces by these astral winds. Not to mention, there were also countless thunder dragons roaming about, engulfing anyone who dared to rush in.
It could be said that the defense was very tight. Not to mention ordinary Heaven Realm experts, even Heaven Realm experts would be heavily injured if they came in. If they were not careful, they would die.
Only a tyrant body like Ye Xiwen could endure for a long time in this endless astral wind. It was even more terrifying than the chaos.
Fortunately, Ye Xiwen had obtained the map of the Ye family's internal treasures and the information of the Royal Court before he came here. So, he wasn't as ignorant as before.
In order to prevent internal and external enemies, the experts of the Royal Court had set up layers of defensive measures. Even if the enemy's army attacked at the same time, it would be difficult to break through the Royal Court's defenses. There were only a few passageways left for people to enter and exit, and only those passageways could allow people to enter and exit.
Ye Xiwen quickly arrived at one of the passages according to the map. It was different from the previous passage where there were no signs of human habitation. Countless tyrannical auras were lurking in the vicinity of this passage.
On the three sides of the passage, there were powerful astral winds and endless thunder and lightning, engulfing all enemies who dared to enter.
Inside the passage, at this time, many young experts had already rushed over. Many of them had already entered the passage, and many of them had also settled down in the cities around the passage. Ye Xiwen had unfolded his devil wings and had flown for a full three days and three nights, so one could well imagine how far this Imperial Court was. Some people had been flying for a month in a row, while also fighting against the astral winds at high altitudes. Just flying to the vicinity of this place had almost exhausted their Zhen Yuan, and some people had already exhausted their Zhen Yuan halfway through their journey, and had relied on swallowing some dans to barely support themselves until here.
So, they had no choice but to settle down in a nearby city. Although this city was called a city, it was almost equivalent to a small continent, and there were hundreds of millions of human commoners living in it.
Although the Royal Court Competition was open to all loose cultivators, as long as they were under eight hundred years old, all loose cultivators could sign up. But in reality, it was different from the descendants of the rich and powerful clans who could directly use the clan's transmission array to come here. They had to fly here by themselves.
This was actually also a test. Although many human elites under eight hundred years old could sign up, but in reality, not everyone could come. Otherwise, just the number of people would be too much for the Royal Court to handle.
Although some people relied on swallowing medicinal pills to fly to the Royal Court, but in reality, there were even more people who could not fly up even after swallowing medicinal pills. Because the higher they went, the greater the consumption. They also had to fight against the astral winds, and there were also many powerful demonic beasts living in the sky. Just these were layers upon layers of obstacles. Not even half of the people could truly reach the Royal Court. This was the so-called great waves washing away the sand. In silence, the first wave of screening had already been completed.
So far, those who could reach the Royal Court were not Heaven Realm warriors, but invincible masters among half-step Heaven Realm warriors. There would always be some geniuses in the world, even if they were half-step Heaven Realm warriors, they could still fight against Heaven Realm warriors. Ye Xiwen was definitely not the only one.
On top of the city walls, there stood tyrannical soldiers. Although they were only soldiers, but each figure was extremely frightening, and they were all at the level of Heaven Realm or above. The Royal Court was rich and overbearing, and the depth of their foundation was enough to scare people to death.
Many geniuses who had just arrived from various places almost fainted from depression when they saw this scene. They were also geniuses in various places, and were praised by the elders of their sects. Many of them were called the hope of their sects. Although they were all called loose cultivators, loose cultivators did not mean that they did not have a sect.
After all, those who were alone were in the minority. Most of the loose cultivators still had sects, and some sects even had tens of thousands of people, as many as hundreds of thousands of people. But compared to Ye Clan, which had hundreds of millions of direct family members, it was nothing at all, and they were all demoted to loose cultivators.
However, in this city, any random soldier was at the Celestial Tier or above, which was a great blow to their confidence. Moreover, every single one of those soldiers was giving off a powerful aura. They were not flowers raised in a greenhouse. On the contrary, every single one of them seemed to have grown up from a battlefield filled with blood and fire.
Many of them might not have killed as many people in their entire lives as the soldiers here killed in a year.
Every one of these soldiers had a monstrous murderous aura. If it were not for the constant operation of the matrix in this city, dispelling this monstrous murderous aura, this place would very soon become an Asura ghost town.
Although those who could cultivate to this point and fly here were all geniuses from all over the world, and their minds could be said to be firm, but when they saw these extremely tyrannical killing gods, they still felt a chill on their backs. The soldiers on the city wall were like statues, and they did not even look at these people. They had no emotions, no compliments, no mockery, only coldness.
And this was actually the most frightening thing.
However, Ye Xiwen knew that these soldiers were probably the most elite force in the Royal Court, because this was the first line of defense to surround and protect this passage. Once there was a change in the Royal Court, these people would rush to the front line. Every once in a while, these soldiers would be replaced, and the replaced soldiers were none other than the elite soldiers directly mobilized from the Human-Demon Battlefield.
If these soldiers were in other troops, they would definitely be high-level officers, and could even control an ordinary army. However, here, they were just ordinary soldiers, and such elite soldiers were not everywhere in the Royal Court. Most of the troops here were just a little stronger than the Tao legions of other forces. If this was just an ordinary army, then the Royal Court could really unify the world for thousands of years.
After entering the city, one could find that it was quite prosperous. The city was very busy, and there were all kinds of shops on both sides of the street. Although this was the first line of defense for the Royal Court, in fact, there were still many ordinary people living here. They might be the descendants of some big shots in the Royal Court, and they could not enter the Royal Court to serve, so they became ordinary people living here.
Of course, although they were ordinary people, in fact, their strength was much more powerful than many ordinary people.
Because this city had been under the rule of the Royal Court for a long time, it had not changed for millions of years. On the city walls, on the buildings, there had already been many imprints of time. The people who came and went here wore many ancient clothes. Suddenly, it was as if they had returned to the ancient times.
In a teahouse, Ye Xiwen sat on a seat, quietly drinking tea. It was rare for his heart to be so calm. In the past ten years, especially in the past two years, almost every moment was either killing or plotting to kill. There was not a moment of peace in his heart. If it was an ordinary person, without the Enlightening Mind ancient tree to stabilize his mind, he would have already gone crazy at this time.
Therefore, he especially enjoyed this rare peace, and his ears were full of the discussions of the surrounding tea guests.
"Recently, a lot of young masters have come to the city. To be honest, I have never seen so many young masters. Do our human race really have so many young masters?"
"What's wrong with that? Every time there's a Royal Court Struggle, many young experts will come. You're still young, you'll get used to it after experiencing it a few more times. Furthermore, these so-called young experts are just rogue cultivators. The true experts are still nurtured by our Royal Court itself. The other royal families and marquis clans aren't a match for our Heavenly Court's local experts!"
"Then what are these people doing here? Are they here to serve as foils for our Royal Court's geniuses?"
"Of course not. Our Royal Court's masters will not participate in this Royal Court Struggle. Otherwise, there will be no day for them to stand out. The purpose of the Royal Court Struggle is to select geniuses for the Royal Court, and to absorb new blood. This is the original purpose. The world is big, and there are countless geniuses in our race. Many of them are not weaker than our Royal Court's heaven's pride experts. However, they have not received the best training, otherwise, they would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with our Royal Court's geniuses!"
