The walls of the City of Darkness were dark red. Due to the many battles since ancient times, the walls had been dyed this color by blood.
It was known as the number one city, but when one got closer, it didn't seem all that grand. The twelve zhang tall walls weren't much more majestic than an ordinary city.
Time had left mottled marks on the walls. The formation patterns hidden under the blade marks and arrow holes flowed with a dim luster. This was the city's defense.
It was known as the number one city of the central region not because of its size, but because this place was too important. In the past, this place had always been the main battlefield during the chaos of the darkness. Too many things had happened here.
When people talked about the central region and the chaos of the Undying Mountain, this city was inevitably mentioned. That was why it was called the number one city.
"Candied haws, the handiwork of the time-honored Yi Chen family. They are big, round, and sweet."
"Divination, divination, divination, divination. The Linyi Divine Image Image Realm's watchman has descended, granting the fate of three lives and three worlds, seeking the heavens."
After many years of recuperation, the City of Darkness was now very prosperous. The chaos of tens of thousands of years ago had long since disappeared. People came and went, rubbing shoulders with each other, and the atmosphere of the mortal world rushed to the heavens.
After entering the city, what Ye Fan saw was a scene of hundreds of businesses flourishing and people living in peace. He also saw many cultivators hiding among the mortals.
In reality, cultivators made up half of the city. After all, it had experienced the most terrifying chaos in human history, so there was no lack of cultivators.
He entered a restaurant that was close to the main street of the City of Darkness. Looking out from the window, there was an endless stream of horses and carriages, and the sounds of hawking could be heard incessantly. There were even divine lights flying through the sky from time to time. There were too many people going in and out.
There was no need to make inquiries. He only needed to find a place with a lot of people to sit down and hear the latest news. Many cultivators had come today, and they were all discussing the recent situation.
People believed that the path to immortality was about to open because there were too many people coming from all over the heavens. Saints crossed over like a tide and descended on the Big Dipper.
Moreover, the major life restricted areas were no longer peaceful. Some people saw a beautiful woman playing a flute in the absolute beginning forbidden area. She flew across the sky, transcending the world and shaking the northern region.
There were also people who heard the sound of iron chains shaking in the forbidden area of the Southern Domain. The nine Sacred Mountains trembled every day, and endless mist spewed out from the abyss.
There were others who saw that a few ancient monuments in the Immortal Tomb were shining, as if they were going to break through the heavens, releasing waves of terrifying aura.
The recent unforeseen events made everyone feel uneasy, but also filled them with anticipation. If the path of immortality appeared, it would be the greatest change since ancient times. Only heaven knew what would happen.
"It's said that in this era, the Immortal Realm might be connected to the Human Realm. Is this true or false? Why did such a secret spread from the mouths of the Saints outside the realm?"
"There should be some truth to it. Otherwise, why would they risk their lives and cross the galaxy from the other side of the universe?"
"That's true. If it wasn't like that, only Great Emperors would be able to fight their way into the Immortal Domain. I'm really looking forward to it. Everyone in the world will become immortals, and we will also bask in your glory. What a magnificent scene that will be. "
Ye Fan poured himself a cup and drank by himself. He hid his true appearance because he didn't want to be recognized and cause a commotion. He quietly sat on the side, listening to everyone's discussions.
Now, there really weren't many people who could injure him in this world. Unless the Quasi-emperor appeared, he could already rule over this world. All clans had to respect and revere him. At the very least, it would be like this on the surface.
"Yi, who is that? Could it be the ancient empress Huo Lin 'er? She … actually returned from outer space!" Someone cried out in alarm.
A graceful figure flew past, her height reaching the same height as the restaurant's window. She soared through the air above the street, the people below her feet moving to and fro. She was like a fairy walking on waves.
A head of water blue long hair scattered down, flowing with sapphire like luster. Her clothes fluttered about, her skin snow white. Her eyes carried spirituality, as well as a type of dignity.
She flew into the city just like that, disappearing in front of a grand ancient watchtower.
"I heard that she returned to her clan's ancestral land. Who would have thought that she would appear again after more than a hundred years. This woman's current strength will most likely make even the Great Sage feel restraining fear."
Everyone moved from her to the Fire Qilin Cave, naturally mentioning the Fire Unicorn.
"Don't look at how the Fire Qilin Cave suffered a great loss in the Eternal War. However, no one dares provoke them, to the extent where they might even make others feel restraining fear."
"Why do you say that?"
"Do you all still remember that as soon as the Fire Unicorn appeared, he would often wander around Origin Ancient Mine? Quite a few people had seen him before. What does this mean? Just this type of hidden relationship is enough to allow this clan leader to flourish for a long time! "
As the number of cultivators increased, all sorts of secrets were revealed and the City of Darkness fell into an uproar.
"Yi, who is that woman? She has a buddha dao crown on her head, giving off the aura of a monarch looking down on the world. How astonishing! "
"Have you never heard of her? That is the Great Mahamayuri King from Ancient Amitabha Star Domain. Not long ago, the great battle of Mount Meru ended. She might be the present world buddhist path's number one expert."
"That might not necessarily be the case. The Victorious Fighting Buddha should be stronger than her, just that he left."
The Great Mahamayuri King wore a golden crown on her head and eight bracelets on her arm. She sat on a golden peacock and entered the city. This type of grandeur immediately shocked all directions, drawing the attention of the people of the world.
Not long after, draconic energy surged in the direction of the Central Province, the scene shocking the heavens. A dragon sword directly tore through the void, and an elder entered the city from the Central Province with a single step!
The Grand Sovereign Sword was like an ancestral dragon, shaking its head and tail, releasing a horrifying aura that shook the world. It possessed an unmatched killing intent that suppressed the nine heavens.
"This is … a Great Sage. Why is he so high profile, coming on an emperor weapon, as if he wants to hack this place apart!"
"The people of the Great Xia Imperial Clan have arrived. You absolutely cannot provoke them. Rumor has it that several days ago, news leaked out of the Immortal Manor World that the clan's ancestor, the Grand Sovereign, died inside."
"What? The emperor of a generation died …"
"Correct, he fell on the path of immortality, suspected to be related to the Undying Heavenly Emperor. For this Great Sage to come like this, he most likely wants to find trouble with the Ancient Race."
A storm was brewing in the City of Darkness. Powerful figures arrived one after another, stirring up everyone's endless anticipation. This time, there was most likely going to be a huge storm.
Silently, another person appeared on the street. There was a type of decaying aura, but it caused all the Saints to tremble, because the supreme saint of the Great Xia Imperial Clan walked over and nodded towards him.
"Who is this?" Everyone shivered. The Great Xia's Saint definitely had a foundation from hundreds of thousands of years ago, and had survived until this era. He actually recognized this person. Without a doubt, this was someone from the same generation.
This was because there was similarly a type of decaying aura, as if he could melt into the yellow earth at any time.
"It's the Ji Clan's Great Sage, he once appeared during the battle of Mount Meru."
Everyone was shocked. The various great undying inheritances finally no longer kept a low profile, no longer hiding anything. Even the Great Sage had appeared!
When they thought about it carefully, it made sense. They were all holy lands, but those that had produced Great Emperors were definitely different. Only ancient supreme beings could refine Divine Origin Liquid and seal Saints. Thus, they definitely had this type of foundation.
In the past, it wasn't obvious because it wasn't the right time yet. If they truly fought, how could a clan that had produced a Great Emperor compare? They could definitely pierce through the heavens.
A gust of wind blew over, and the two Great Sage's disappeared.
A commotion broke out in the City of Darkness. Someone from hundreds of thousands of years ago had appeared, and this definitely indicated that the path of immortality wasn't far away.
At the same time, the news of the Grand Emperor's death seemed to have grown wings. It spread in all directions, triggering a huge commotion. Everyone was greatly alarmed.
Was it the Undying Heavenly Emperor who caused the Grand Emperor's death, or was it the Grand Emperor who died in battle due to his old age, his blood energy drying up? This became the focal point of everyone's debate.
"Who is that woman? She really is too beautiful, as if she walked out from a painting. What kind of identity does she have?"
"Heavens, who is accompanying her and walking together with her? Is it a holy spirit?"
Cries of alarm sounded in the City of Darkness. A beautiful couple walked over. The woman was the most beautiful under the heavens, and her beauty was exceptional. The man was handsome, confident, and extraordinary.
It was impossible not to notice these two people as they stood there. Their temperaments were outstanding, like cranes among chickens. Even if they stood in a sea of people, they would still be recognized with a single glance.
"That's the Jiuli Divine Dynasty's Princess Yue Ling. She's known as the second beauty of the Central Plains by busybodies."
Finally, someone recognized the peerless beauty. She wore a phoenix crown on her head, and she was dressed in robes that flickered with multicolored light. It was as if she was dancing in the morning clouds.
This woman's skin was smooth, and her black hair draped over her shoulders. Her black eyebrows were curved, and her eyes were intelligent. Her nose was high. She was a rare beauty, and it was difficult to find any flaws.
Ye Fan's expression changed as he recognized this woman. He had seen her in the Qinling Mountains to the west of the Central Plains.
At that time, Ye Fan, Gai Jiuyou, and Princess Yue Ling had all joined the Qin Sect. Even Hua Yunfei and Li Xiaoman were no exception. They had all joined for the Army Formula.
In the end, Ye Fan and the sickly old man both obtained something. So many years had passed, and looking back, it was like a dream. Ye Fan guessed that this Princess Yue Ling might have also obtained the Army Formula.
Time did not leave any traces on Princess Yue Ling's white face. Her pupils were like black gemstones, and she was still as beautiful as before. Her appearance could cause the downfall of cities and countries, and she truly lived up to her title as the number one beauty of the Central Plains.
Beside her, there was a man with an oppressive heroic spirit. A pair of sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, giving him a heroic appearance. His eyes were as sharp as cold lightning, and when they swept over, no one dared to look him in the eye. It was as if sword light was cleaving over.
The most unique thing was that he had a pair of stone arms that were no different from a Divine Spirit. However, the rest of his body was made of flesh and blood. Powerful energy fluctuations faintly seeped out, shocking everyone.
Everyone was shocked. There was no need to mention Princess Yue Ling's exceptional beauty, but this man was terrifying. Could it be that he was an almost flawless Divine Spirit?
He wore silver armor that shone brilliantly. His appearance was imposing, and he appeared heroic. His footsteps were powerful, and he was tall and imposing. His black hair danced in the wind, and one could tell with a single glance that he was an outstanding individual.
"There's no doubt that this is a Divine Spirit. I can feel that special aura!" a sage from the outer realm said with a solemn expression.
According to legend, a true consummate Divine Spirit's body would transform into flesh and blood. However, this person only had a pair of stone arms, and the rest of his body was already made of flesh and blood. It was shocking.
Only by reaching the Quasi-emperor realm could one transform the stone body into flesh and blood. How powerful was this person? This made everyone's heart tremble.
"It's not Quasi-emperor. If I'm not wrong, it's because he has the Divine Spirit bloodline's incredible royal blood flowing in his body!" an elder from Skyreach Star said.
Such a beautiful couple walked over. The man's divine appearance was shocking, and the woman was peerless. Naturally, they attracted attention. The street was quiet until they passed by. Only then did it become noisy, triggering heated discussions.
This time's convention of the Myriad Races actually attracted all kinds of characters. So many extraordinary characters were dispatched, and it was destined to cause a terrifying confrontation during the discussion, or even a bloody battle. The powerful lineup was naturally for the sake of fighting for the interests of their own races and intimidating them.
The City of Darkness was in an uproar. Meanwhile, another terrifying place was also experiencing unusual movements today.
The Undying Mountain was shrouded in a terrifying fog.
One after another, black mountains surrounded the central area, forming a transcendent and terrifying terrain. Since ancient times, even if the supreme beings from the outside world entered the Undying Mountain, they would have to stop here!
The fog was hazy, and the black mountains became even more majestic.
However, at this moment, an ancient chariot slowly drove out. A voice came from the chariot, saying, "After so many years, the City of Darkness still exists. The convention of the Myriad Races is about to start. Very well, I'll also go take a look."
On the left and right sides of the chariot, there were a few servants following behind without saying a word.
