The city was extremely grand. If one looked carefully, they would discover that they were all built from stars. Even though the Black Emperor, Dongfang Ye, and the others were used to seeing great scenes, they were still a bit stupefied. Just how many stars were used?
Every single star was refined, ranging from the size of a washbasin to several zhang in length, condensed to this size, condensing incomparable dao pattern natural laws. When building a city like this, there was no need to lay formations, it was sturdy enough on its own.
Moreover, as the fifth Imperial Pass, how could there not be formation patterns? These were all symbols left behind by great emperors to protect this place. Even if exceptional experts fought here, it would still be difficult for them to destroy the city.
Palaces floated in the air, immortal mists hazy between the pavilions, extremely faintly discernible, as if they arrived in an immortal paradise.
There were actually hawking sounds in the city, leaving those who were still a bit alarmed a bit stupefied. What kind of place was this? How could there be these types of sounds in the imperial road struggle?
Upon closer inspection, there were actually stalls set up at both sides of the road, moreover quite a few people, bustling with activity.
"What is going on?" Those people were confused.
"Everlasting Silver Essence, there are several dozen grains of Immortal Tears Green Golden Sand mixed within, rarely seen in this world."
"Fiend God Bone, the remains of a true Fiend Race supreme being, can be forged into a divine artifact!"
That was a four inch long white bone, as if it was some type of creature's finger bone. It was dull and lacking luster, but many people surrounded it, all of them expressing their amazement.
"Stellar Divine Sand, gathered from all regions of the heavens, a total of ten thousand jin. If refined properly, there is a chance of turning it into a Quasi-emperor artifact!" Someone shouted. A group of people crowded over, surrounding it so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
"Lightning Sound Precious Tree, contains the world's source lightning sound, through it one can understand the mysteries of heavenly tribulation, the world's rarest divine tree species."
That was an ancient tree half the height of a person, branches like horned dragons. Even though it wasn't that tall, it was bold and powerful, lightning radiance roiling, containing a type of most fundamental magical dao power.
A group of people swarmed over, all of them looking like they had to obtain this precious tree, all of them rubbing their fists and palms together, hoping to get their hands on it.
Ye Fan, Yan Yixi, and the others entered the city in a low-profile manner. Through their observations, they learned that there were natives in some Imperial Passes who were the guardians of the ultimate ancient path.
The nine Imperial Passes, as well as this ancient path, as well as the ancient places of life similar to the Flying Immortal Battlefield, all of them needed people to watch over them. After endless years, they needed to carry out necessary adjustments, repairs, and other things. The people needed were the descendants of the heroes who had taken this path and failed. They couldn't leave this place.
The number of people here wasn't that ridiculously high. The entire ancient path, nine Imperial Passes, and even some Ancient Life Battlefield that was involved in this place, these managers added up to half a city's population.
Now, after the participants of the Contest for Supremacy had reached the last few rounds, these people began to appear to conduct the necessary transactions, and the things they took out were all rare items.
Some heroes from the Flourishing Ancient Region felt ashamed after seeing this. Even the treasures of an Ancient Land of Life couldn't compare to a single treasure taken out by these people.
The worst of these traded items were still Great Sage level materials, moreover top level, among them no lack of divine materials needed to forge a Quasi-emperor magical artifact. It was to the extent where if one's luck was good enough, discovering a small piece of Immortal Gold or other ancient emperor material wasn't impossible.
Many experts who fought their way here discovered that the divine objects they relied on, the ones they were so proud of, were nothing more than street goods in comparison, completely unpresentable.
"Heaven Stealing Sword, a treasure that has a chance of evolving into a Quasi-emperor artifact, the deity within undergoing rebirth, reawakening, able to recognize it a second time. It is a supreme treasure that can only be encountered and not sought after!"
"When the ancestor fought the decisive battle on the emperor path, he was only a hair away from achieving the dao. The Immortal Shocking Bow that was passed down is the most powerful Quasi-emperor artifact, nothing it can't break through, shooting gods and slaughtering devils, a single arrow able to shatter the cosmos. Even though it is damaged now, it isn't like there is no chance of repairing it! "
The city was bustling with activity, many stalls at both sides of the streets. They looked simple, able to open up after laying out a straw mat, but there really were many extraordinary divine objects.
There were some ancestral magical artifacts that were left behind by unmatched geniuses who charged into the nine Imperial Passes back then, possessing the wondrous mysteries of seizing the natural luck of heaven and earth.
Of course, if one wanted to exchange for these things, they had to have ancient scriptures, secret techniques, and other things of equivalent value, or else they definitely wouldn't be able to exchange for them. They wouldn't use divine source and other things to trade like ordinary cultivators at all.
The Black Emperor's eyes were dazzled, saliva about to flow out. However, he forcefully restrained his urge, not becoming a robber. At this time, he put on a dog appearance, his body standing up, even his dog head becoming a human head, the other parts still the same.
"Good stuff, good stuff, I really want to rob them all." The Black Emperor muttered inwardly. However, when he considered his true strength, he felt like if he provoked everyone's wrath, it was still unknown who would rob who.
The main street in the city was bustling with activity, divine materials and supreme treasures being traded. Meanwhile, the other regions were full of an extremely tense atmosphere.
From the Flying Immortal Battlefield until here, after ten years of bloody battles, many people died. However, later generations came in an endless stream, replenishing the losses.
After so many years had passed, the various clans' ancient paths still hadn't been sealed. There were always young faces who set foot on this journey, and in the end, quite a few people rose above the rest, slaughtering their way here.
The number of humans in the city wasn't few compared to the other races, but compared to the tens of thousands of races, they would be quickly drowned out.
Ye Fan and the others entered the city in a low-profile manner, purposely concealing themselves, not drawing the attention of the various clans.
"Yi, that person just now seemed a bit familiar, like the holy physique Ye Fan. Didn't he go into seclusion? He shouldn't have appeared again."
Only a few people revealed suspicious expressions, but they didn't continue chasing after him. It was because this type of action in the city was extremely dangerous, possibly triggering a life and death battle.
In the following few days, they learned a lot of information. Yang Xi and Ye Tong entered the God and Devil Battlefield outside the fifth pass, already fighting a bloody battle.
After all these years, a few powerful figures didn't immediately confront each other. They all chose to advance, feeling restraining fear towards each other, not rashly taking action.
Of course, there were also people who were truly confident, carrying out "grooming plans" for some of the younger generation's experts, hoping that they could have a pinnacle battle in the future.
It was said that the most powerful expert of this generation of the God Race, the Divine Lord, was such a person. He had already spread the word that no one could touch the people he designated, and if anyone dared to intercept them, he would immediately kill the person who provoked him.
This wasn't just ordinary confidence, it was bordering on paranoia.
Among these rumors, there was a name that Ye Fan and the others were familiar with — Ji Chengdao. Three hundred years had passed, and this child had long grown up. His martial arts were world-shaking, and he had obtained the Divine King Ji Haoyue and the Ji family's true inheritance. As soon as he entered the Only True Path, he was targeted by the Divine Lord. It was estimated that in twenty years, he would be able to have a small battle with him, and in fifty years, he would be able to fight with him.
Ten years ago, Ji Chengdao entered the Only True Path and passed by Ye Fan. This time, they also came to see the little fellow, hoping that nothing bad would happen to him.
"Sigh, where did Brother Haoyue go? First, he was defeated on the Ancient Path, and then, Ji Zi died in his place. It was a huge blow to him, and he disappeared after he grew up. I really don't know how he passed these years. "Li Heishui sighed.
"Oh, he's at the fourth stage. I heard that a group of people will be arriving here in a few days, and we might be able to see him."
This was the information that Ye Fan, Dongfang Ye, and the others had learned.
In fact, in just two days, the Fifth City was in an uproar. That group of people had arrived, and Ji Chengdao was among them. As soon as he entered the city, he roared and shook the whole city, saying that he wanted to challenge the Divine Lord.
This was a group of up-and-coming youngsters, and every one of them was outstanding. Their mounts were all rare mutants, and the people and mounts were all arrogant and unruly.
"Eh, isn't that a Sky Devouring Beast? It's actually been tamed as a mount!"
"A Demonic Soul Horse. Such a powerful fluctuation, and the patterns on its body are all natural dao talismans."
This group of people entered the city and attracted people's attention.
Among them, Ji Chengdao looked similar to the Divine King, Ji Haoyue. He had the heroic bearing of his father when he was young, sword-like eyebrows and tiger-like eyes. His body was tall and straight, and he walked with a majestic gait.
No one would have thought that he wanted to challenge the Divine Lord as soon as he entered the city. One had to know that the strongest cultivator of the Shen Clan was famous on the Emperor's Road, and he always had an overwhelming advantage in battle.
"Back then, the one who defeated Brother Haoyue was probably the Divine Lord, and his mother was most likely from the Shen Clan. He wants an explanation," Yan Yixi said.
More than three hundred years had passed. Although Ji Haoyue didn't say anything about what had happened back then, they had found out part of the truth through various inquiries.
"The Divine Lord might go to the Soaring Sky Tower. Di Tian, Fairy Qingshi, the Shen Clan's Goddess Shen Lan, the Great Divine Spirit, the Nine Tribulations Daoist, and many other strong cultivators are also going there to gather."
Someone transmitted his voice. It wasn't out of good intentions, but because he wanted to see a fierce battle immediately, to see a fierce battle between giants.
Li Heishui was about to step forward and pull Ye Futian over, but he was stopped by Black Emperor, who said, "Let's wait and see. He's still young, he can take a beating."
Although that was what he said, they all followed behind.
"Hey, little guy, buy my Celestial Stunning Bow. Back then, my ancestor used it to kill the Shen Clan's Gemini. If you can repair it, no one from the Shen Clan can stop you." Along the way, someone tried to promote the bow to Ji Chengdao.
"I don't have anything to exchange." Ji Chengdao shook his head.
"Don't worry, you can buy it on credit. Pay me back in the future. You'll have something I'm interested in sooner or later." It was a bearded man with a fake smile.
"Not interested." Ji Chengdao turned around and left, ignoring him.
On the other side, Li Tian was hopping mad. Yan Yixi also widened his eyes in shock. They recognized the bearded man. More than three hundred years ago, when Ye Fan and the other two rushed to Ziwei Galaxy to find little Nannan, they had seen him.
At that time, the three of them disguised themselves as ordinary people. In the end, a bearded man at the Dao Palace Realm came up to them and shamelessly wanted to take Li Tian and Yan Yixi, who were at the Saint King Realm, as disciples. He was rejected by the two in anger.
Now, they actually met again. There was definitely something wrong with this bearded man. He wasn't an ordinary person.
"Back then, I accepted two brats as disciples but was rejected. Today, I'm offering a bow and was rejected again. Is it easy for an old man like me? It's hard to be a good person." The bearded man shook his head, turned around, and disappeared into the crowd.
"Who's the brat? Don't go, stop!" Li Tian wanted to chase, but he was held back by Ye Fan. He shook his head and said, "You can't catch up. He has already entered the starry sky."
"So fast! In the blink of an eye!" Li Tian was shocked. In the blink of an eye, the bearded man had disappeared into thin air.
"Quasi-emperor!" Ye Fan only spat out these two words. His expression was solemn as he stared at the starry sky in the distance. It was only after a long while that he retracted his gaze.
Everyone felt a wave of alarm. Li Tian and Yan Yixi were both a bit stupefied. They had previously brushed shoulders with a Quasi-emperor, unable to say anything for a long time.
Sky Rushing Restaurant, the tallest building in the fifth city. It floated in midair, purple energy pervading the air, full of an auspicious and peaceful aura.
"Fairy Qingshi has arrived."
Multicolored light erupted in endless streaks, auspicious brilliance streaking out in thousands of streaks. A gentle and graceful figure descended, her hair coiled up high, skin sparkling white. She was an outstanding beauty, as if she was a fairy that walked out from a painting.
She was elegant and exceptional, drawing the attention of many cultivators.
There was someone who welcomed her in the building. This was clearly a dao comprehension building opened by Imperial Pass' natives, specially made for exceptional experts to drink tea, exchange pointers, and gather together.
"Di Tian great one has arrived."
Sounds of discussion immediately sounded from the distance.
"It is rumored that he was previously the opponent of the holy physique Ye Fan. Back then, even though he suffered greatly, it wasn't shameful, losing to the holy physique Ye Fan's Green Emperor incarnation."
"Right, I heard that this person really is formidable, actually able to contend against Green Emperor, fighting for such a long time. Even though he was defeated, it was still an honorable one!"
"Wu, what a pity for the holy physique …"
Di Tian's appearance drew everyone's attention and discussions.
"Light Shaking King has arrived!"
In front of Sky Rushing Restaurant, another wave of noise erupted. After all these years, the Light Shaking Heavenly Art had reached great completion, shaking up the starry skies, unmatched, becoming one of the most dazzling Emperor Stars on this path.
