The Upper Realm was vast and boundless. Although it was known as the Three Thousand Provinces, this was not the true number. It was just a general reference, because even the most knowledgeable powerhouses in the Upper Realm would not know how much land and provinces there were in the Upper Realm.
This was a vast and boundless world. Just one state alone was not inferior to the lower realm's eight regions, and for places like the lower realm's eight regions, the area of any one of them would not be smaller than the Earth in the real world. If one did not personally experience it, they would not be able to imagine that such a world actually existed.
This was completely unscientific, but Ye Xuan had experienced it for himself, so it was real.
The province was vast. Ye Xuan rode the black tiger, which had shrunk to a height of two meters and a length of three meters. He flew tens of thousands of kilometers in the void, but he still did not see any signs of human habitation or cities. Instead, he saw countless wild beasts like the black tiger.
It was evident that even in the Upper Realm, it was not easy for ordinary humans to survive.
"Little Black, how much longer until we reach the city you mentioned?" Ye Xuan sat on the black tiger's back as steadily as a mountain. He looked at the boundless wilderness in front of him and reached out to pat the black tiger's head.
Although it had heard this name many times, the black tiger was still not used to its new name. Its large eyes twitched, then it said helplessly, "Master, it's about thirty to forty thousand kilometers away!"
"Then hurry up. Your speed is not even as fast as my stroll. Are you sure you're really at the Venerable Realm?" Ye Xuan shook his head.
The black tiger felt helpless. It was a beast that had not even reached the Divine Fire Realm. How could it compare to a powerhouse that was at least at the Truth Realm? If that was the case, would it have fallen to the point of being someone else's mount?
"Yes, Master!" The tiger under the eaves had no choice but to lower its head. Little Black had no choice but to use its full power. Its four hooves stepped in the air, and as if it had stepped on solid ground, it disappeared from where it was like a bolt of lightning.
Finally, after nearly half an hour or so, a large city appeared in Ye Xuan's sight.
Looking from afar, the city was like a demonic mountain that lay across the heavens and the earth. It occupied an extremely large area, and there were people weaving in and out of the city gate. It looked extremely prosperous. Just by looking at it from afar, Ye Xuan could sense that there were actually several terrifying auras lingering in the void in this city.
"There are actually four Enlightened Realm Gods in just one city. Could it be that the Upper Realm has really reached a stage where True Gods are like dogs and Enlightened Realm Gods are everywhere?" Sensing that there were actually four Celestial God auras in the city, Ye Xuan could not help but frown, feeling that something was amiss.
Based on his understanding of the original work and the ancient books he found in the ruins of Daluo Sect, experts at the level of Enlightened Realm Gods should be considered as experts of the middle to high level even in the Upper Realm. Under normal circumstances, they were very rare. However, he had previously encountered three Enlightened Realm Gods in the ruins of Daluo Sect, and now there were four Enlightened Realm Gods in just one city. This number really made him unable to believe that his previous understanding was correct.
"Find a place to land!" As they approached the city, Ye Xuan reached out and patted Black Tiger's head.
Ye Xuan did not want to ride Black Tiger into the city in such a high-profile manner. Under the circumstances where there were so many cultivators in the city, doing so would only attract hatred for him.
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Black Tiger did not have any objections. He found a place at the edge of the city where there was no one around and landed.
Jumping off the black tiger's back, Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows as he looked at the black tiger beside him, which was still as tall as before. Then he said, "Your body is too big. It's not convenient for you to walk. You should shrink a little more."
"Yes, Master!" Black Tiger had no choice but to shake its body and utilize the Art of Transformation. It forcefully shrunk its body to less than a meter in height and a meter and a half in length, and it was the size of a dog.
The black tiger felt extremely aggrieved when it saw its own figure. After all, it was a dignified ferocious beast at the Exalt Realm. Even though it didn't dare say that it could reign supreme over an area, it was still possible for it to occupy a small mountain and become an overlord. Yet now, not only had it been reduced to a mount, it could only transform into a pet that was like a puppy. So, it truly felt like it was filled with despair.
"Alright, let's go!" Ye Xuan disregarded Black Tiger's feelings, and he couldn't help but nod when he saw Black Tiger that had transformed into a dog. After that, he turned around and walked towards the city.
The city walls were ancient and mottled. They seemed as if they were made from metal, and they had an icy cold appearance. They seemed as if they were left behind from the primeval times. They were lofty and powerful, and they caused others to feel tiny.
There were four entrances to the city, and every single one of them was 30 meters wide. However, because of the dense flow of people, besides humans, there were also some tall ferocious beasts that pulled goods and carriages, and beasts of various shapes and sizes, so the area outside the city seemed to be slightly crowded.
In this world, most cities had orders or formations that prohibited flying in the air to maintain public security. Otherwise, with the way of cultivation in this world, the entire city would have fallen into chaos a long time ago if cultivators fought while flying around.
Chen Xi followed the flow of people into the city. As soon as he entered the city, he felt an endless hubbub coming towards him. The wide streets were filled with people, and it was extremely bustling.
When he arrived at the city, Ye Xuan didn't have any purpose. He casually walked on the streets, and when the sky was about to turn dark, he found a restaurant and entered it.
After asking the restaurant to prepare a superior room for him, Ye Xuan didn't enter his room right away. Instead, he asked the waiter to prepare a table of food and wine for him, and he intended to taste the food and wine from the Upper Worlds.
As soon as he sat down, Ye Xuan tasted the fine wine that was served first, and listened quietly to the various discussions in the restaurant.
Restaurants, inns, and brothels had always been places where all sorts of people gathered. It was also the easiest place to get information. After sitting for a while, Ye Xuan heard the news that interested him.
"This is really good news. I didn't expect that this time, the Heartless Pavilion, the Divine Fire Church, and the Sky Mist Academy would hold the Martial Competition together. As long as the top 10,000 people can enter the Secret Realm of the King of Gods, Feng Yan, after his nirvana. It is said that the Divine Treasures of Feng Yan when he was alive are inside. As long as you can get a Divine Weapon, you will be able to dominate those of the same level in the future!"
"Divine Weapons are nothing. Do you know why Feng Yan is called the King of Gods?"
"Why?"
"Because he once entered the Saint Sacrifice Realm and broke through. It is said that after breaking through the Saint Sacrifice Realm, he can see immortality, and he has unimaginable power. Even if he is only a Divine God, he can still fight against experts of the Sect Master level. Do you know why the Heartless Pavilion, the Divine Fire Church, and the Sky Mist Academy, these great forces would gather so many people for the Divine Treasures of a Divine God. It is all for the secret method that can break through the Saint Sacrifice Realm!"
"Since there is such a secret method, why do these great forces want to hold this competition? Can't they just go in and take it themselves?"
"Hehe, do you really think these great forces are so kind? The Secret Realm can only be entered with the cultivation of a True God, but the Martial Competition requires the cultivation of a Divine Fire Realm. In other words, even if they really go in, they will only be in the Divine Fire Realm. Compared to the experts who can enter the True God Realm, those people are just cannon fodder! "
