As dawn approached, rays of light shone from the eastern horizon, piercing through the clouds and onto the land. Just like the rays of light, the city stood tall in the middle of the mountain range. It was bright and golden, and the flag of the City of Dawn fluttered in the air. It was incomparably prosperous, far surpassing the scale and prosperity of the other cities in the Eternal Sword Domain. In this barren plane, the City of Dawn was simply a spectacle.
With one hand behind his back, Meng Tiefeng flew in the air against the wind. Suddenly, he raised his left hand and took off his mask, revealing the determined face of a middle-aged man. Just as Lin Muyu had predicted, Meng Tiefeng's appearance was a reflection of the heart. Meng Tiefeng was a straightforward person with a heroic spirit.
"Here, this is my City of Dawn!"
Meng Tiefeng smiled proudly. "A city that took tens of thousands of years to build. It can accommodate millions of people. I have established laws and an army to govern the entire City of Dawn."
Lin Muyu smiled slightly. "City Lord, you are doing this to benefit the people. If I were the city lord, I would expand my territory and build more City of Dawn. I would rule over the entire City of Dawn."
"That would be difficult..." Meng Tiefeng shook his head. "Those who are exiled to the Eternal Sword Domain are not easy to deal with. Which one of them is not an expert with hands stained with blood? These people do not submit to the rule, and they do things their own way. I have tried a few times, but I have always failed."
"That's true."
Lin Muyu did not say anything else. She followed Meng Tiefeng to the City Lord's Mansion. As expected, it was a splendid palace. As the symbol of the highest power in the Eternal Sword Domain, Meng Tiefeng's residence was naturally very luxurious.
...
After stepping onto the steps of the palace, the guards on both sides knelt down and said in unison, "Greetings, City Lord!"
Lin Muyu was speechless. This was what it felt like to be an Emperor.
The guard rubbed his nose resentfully. "City Lord, don't tell me you have a harem of 3,000 beauties here?"
"Harem of beauties?"
Meng Tiefeng seemed to feel insulted. He raised his eyebrows. "How dare you speak of me like that. Who are you?"
Under Meng Tiefeng's awe-inspiring aura, the guard trembled and could not say a word. On the contrary, Rheia was pure and naive and was not afraid of Meng Tiefeng at all. She smiled and said, "He is a man with a very tough life."
Meng Tiefeng glanced at Lin Muyu and said, "Martial God, what kind of people are following you …"
Lin Muyu was a little embarrassed. "This … I met her on the way. Mayor, do you have a harem of beauties?"
"No …"
Meng Tiefeng also rubbed his nose and said, "I've already abstained from women for tens of thousands of years."
Shi Han and Ru Yan were silent and did not say anything.
Just like that, the group of people entered the main hall and received Meng Tiefeng's hospitality. It was just as Meng Tiefeng had said, the City of Dawn was very rich. There was food and drinks everywhere, and there was enough for them to eat. Leah stuffed herself with food until her stomach was full. If it wasn't for Lin Muyu's advice, she might have eaten a donkey.
In the afternoon, Rheia and the others stayed in the guest rooms to rest. Lin Muyu and Meng Tiefeng entered the Sky Feather Grotto.
…
The grotto was under the mayor's residence. Meng Tiefeng personally held a torch and passed through layers of mechanisms before arriving in front of a stone wall.
Lin Muyu stood still and extended her spirit sense. She took a deep breath and said, "There is a very vast and profound aura behind this stone wall. The Sky Feather Grotto must be behind this."
"Yes."
Meng Tiefeng smiled slightly and said, "Martial God, please follow me."
After pushing open a secret door, a rotten smell suddenly entered her nose. Lin Muyu could not help but frown and hold her breath.
"My apologies."
Meng Tiefeng smiled, "The last time I entered the Sky Feather Grotto was more than 20 years ago. This is a secret room. Aside from me, no one else has the right to enter.
"City Lord is too polite."
Lin Muyu gently raised her hand. Suddenly, a Sky Dragon Crystal condensed in her palm. Light radiated in all directions, illuminating everything in the Sky Feather Grotto. Although this place was rotten, the surrounding walls were engraved with lines of text. Most of them were ancient characters that Lin Muyu could recognize. After all, she had studied Fuxi's Heavenly Book, so it was not a big deal for her to recognize these characters.
Meng Tiefeng put his hands behind his back and walked side by side with Lin Muyu. He sighed and said, "Many years ago, there were nine other peerless experts who were as famous as me. We discovered the Sky Feather Grotto together, but we all wanted it for ourselves. In the end, we decided to have a martial arts competition. The final winner would control the Sky Feather Grotto. It was also that battle that I obtained the Sky Feather Grotto. Four experts died under my sword. Martial God, do you feel ashamed?"
Lin Muyu smiled.
Meng Tiefeng's hair stood on end. "What do you mean by smiling?"
Lin Muyu said, "There are not many good people who are exiled to the Eternal Sword Domain to begin with. Isn't it normal for them to kill each other? City Lord, do you think you are a good person? "
"Not really, but I'm not a bad person either."
"Hmm, where is the martial arts manual that records the Eternal Sword Domain?"
"Young hero, please follow me."
Meng Tiefeng walked in front and entered the depths of the grotto. An extremely smooth and neat stone wall appeared in front of them. It was densely packed with small characters. Meng Tiefeng said, "Here, this is the Eternal Sword Domain. It is an absolute art that I have painstakingly practiced for many years!"
"Oh …"
Lin Muyu raised her head to look at the characters. After silently scanning through them, she turned and left.
"What's wrong, Martial God? Are you done reading it?" Meng Tiefeng was stunned. "Could it be that … Martial God doesn't practice the Eternal Sword Domain?"
"I don't."
Lin Muyu smiled. "I have already comprehended the Ao Sword Technique. It would be a waste of time to learn the Eternal Sword Domain. I just need to learn one of the same power. What do you think, City Lord?"
Meng Tiefeng smiled awkwardly. "That's true. The Martial God's state of mind is much better than mine. After entering the Heaven Feather Grotto, I almost fell into madness and forgot the principle of biting off more than I can chew."
Lin Muyu continued to walk through the Heaven Feather Grotto with the Celestial Dragon Crystal. Soon, she stood in front of a stone wall and said, "Dao Heart Technique?"
"Yes, Dao Heart Technique."
Meng Tiefeng shook his head. "This technique is not very useful. Although I have seen it, I have not practiced it."
Lin Muyu could not help but smile. She raised her head and recited the Dao Heart Technique three times in a row. She said, "I have memorized it."
"Ah?"
Meng Tiefeng was stunned. "You have memorized it so quickly? Is the Martial God going to practice the Dao Heart Technique? "
"I can practice it when I have nothing to do."
"…"
Lin Muyu raised the Celestial Dragon Crystal and continued to walk through the grotto. Soon, she stood in front of a stone wall. There was a paragraph of text on this stone wall. On it were the words "Light Hunting Technique."
Meng Tiefeng also stood at the side and said, "Absolute power will always be above speed. This Light Hunting Technique is a record of speed. The Lord Martial God does not need to practice it. It is a real waste of time."
Lin Muyu said, "Yes, I will write it down for Leah to practice. Absolute speed can even kill light. This is the martial art that she needs the most."
"Lord Martial God really dotes on this disciple!"
"Of course. I only have this one disciple. How can I not dote on her?"
"Hahaha, don't tell me you have taken a fancy to your disciple?"
"How could that be? What are you thinking? I only need Leah's power. I need her to help me return to the Immortal Realm and fight against strong enemies. Leah is talented and has a strong learning ability. If she can master Absolute Speed, coupled with the Stellar Technique that I have imparted to her, Leah will almost be able to hold her own."
As she spoke, Lin Muyu looked at Meng Tiefeng and said, "City Lord, do you want to leave the Eternal Sword Domain and see the outside world?"
"Can I? This place is a huge cage. "
"Master will show me the way out."
"Oh? Who is Lord Martial God's master? How can he have such magical powers? "
"Fuxi."
"So it is the Three Great Ancestral Gods …" Meng Tiefeng smiled and said, "Forget it. I will stay in the Eternal Sword Domain. The outside world is no longer suitable for my old bones. Besides, the Eternal Sword Domain needs my strength to maintain its stability."
"That's right. Go out."
"Finished reading?"
"Yes." Lin Muyu had only taken a few steps when she suddenly stopped and said, "City Lord, if I may be so bold as to ask you a favor. If you are willing to help … I will be eternally grateful."
"You first."
"Have you heard of the God Gems?"
"Yes, why?"
"I need the God Gems. The more the better. Does Dawn City have them?"
"This …" Meng Tiefeng hesitated for a few seconds, then looked up and said, "The God Gems are precious treasures in the Eternal Sword Domain. They can prolong one's life. But since the Martial God is my friend, I can't just sit back and do nothing. There are about 150 God Gems in the treasury of Dawn City that I have collected over the years. If you don't mind, I can give them all to you."
"So many?" Lin Muyu was stunned. "How … how can I accept that?"
"You are my only friend."
Meng Tiefeng's eyes dimmed. "Do you know how important the word 'friend' is? You are the only friend I have in my life. For a friend, what else can't I give? "
Lin Muyu nodded. "Thank you, brother. Thank you so much."
"You are welcome. Let's go have a drink?!"
"Okay!"
…
It was night time again. The moonlight shone on a courtyard in Dawn City.
Lin Muyu sat on the stone bed and silently recited the Dao Heart Sutra to ease the manic feeling brought about by the Ao Sword Skill. The effect was surprisingly good. She was ecstatic and could not help but feel a burst of manic feeling.
In front of her, leaves were falling from a maple tree.
"Swoosh …"
A figure passed by. Rheia held the maple leaves in her hand and placed them neatly in a bamboo basket beside her.
Lin Muyu closed her eyes and said, "Too slow! It is easy to chase the wind, but difficult to chase the sound. You can only chase the wind, but you can't even catch the sound. Chase the sound first, then catch the shadow. "
"Yes, Master …" Rheia pouted, feeling wronged, but she continued to train even harder.
