Dozens of near-horned beasts were running in the vast wilderness. This was the team led by Zhang Tan. The Jin Long Wei had entered the Cloud Wilderness with a mighty force of ten thousand people. Zhang Tan's team was just one of them.
Yi Yun also knew the reason for the Jin Long Wei's entry into the Cloud Wilderness. It was because of the Purple Clouds' Birth a few months ago, which alarmed the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. Hence, the Jin Long Wei was sent to search the vast wilderness for treasures.
In the end, they did not find any treasures, but found an ancient mystic realm.
Marquis Wenyun had personally come to the Cloud Wilderness to explore the mystic realm. As some of the mystic realm's arrays could not be opened, he sought Su Jie's help.
The mystic realm was too big, so Marquis Wenyun and company would not be able to come out anytime soon.
Furthermore, after months of searching for treasures without a trace, the Jin Long Wei had no reason to continue staying in the Cloud Wilderness.
So from yesterday onwards, the ten thousand Jin Long Wei stationed in the Cloud Wilderness began to leave. Zhang Tan's team was the first to leave.
…
The vast wilderness was boundless. In the wilderness, there were endless peaks tens of thousands of meters high. The peaks were covered in snow all year round and glaciers covered the sky!
After going over the glaciers, there were canyons and raging rivers that were as vast as the sea!
Yi Yun followed the Jin Long Wei team. Along the way, he saw the magnificent mountains and rivers of the vast wilderness. Everything here was rough and majestic. It made people gasp in amazement!
Without an army accompanying them, without a special mount, it was too difficult to traverse the vast wilderness.
Legend had it that in the distant past, the Cloud Wilderness once had a glorious Divine Kingdom, but it slowly declined. Many of its martial arts heritage disappeared, leaving only a few small tribes struggling at death's door.
For more than a month, other than rushing, there was only rushing.
While rushing, Yi Yun did not slack off in his cultivation.
Yi Yun wore the Flowing Mercury Gown given to him by Lin Xintong. When riding on the near-horned beast, Yi Yun had to consider the near-horned beast's endurance, so he kept the Flowing Mercury Gown's weight to the lightest.
But once the team stopped, Yi Yun could cultivate by himself. It would immediately increase the Flowing Mercury Gown's weight and binding power!
Yi Yun wore the Flowing Mercury Gown to practice his cultivation technique.
In the past, with Yi Yun's strength, he could practice the Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist dozens of times.
But now, because of the restrictions of the Flowing Mercury Gown, he could only use it seven or eight times. He felt that his strength had been severely depleted. In fact, the weight was secondary. The Flowing Mercury Gown's restraint on his body was the most draining, whether it was punching or kicking. He stretched his body and soared into the air. His speed was much slower than usual.
He needed to replenish his energy after it was depleted.
The bone relics that Yi Yun had accumulated from killing fierce beasts in the Desolate Human Valley were quickly finished.
Later on, besides using the Purple Crystal to absorb Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, Yi Yun also needed to eat large amounts of desolate beast meat. Thankfully, he had the "Elephant Swallowing Technique" to support him, so Yi Yun was not in a situation where he lacked energy for cultivation.
This made Yi Yun sigh. The amount of resources a warrior expended in cultivation. It could only be described as terrifying.
However, the effects of such high-intensity training were also very obvious.
Over the past month, Yi Yun had become more accustomed to the pressure of the Flowing Mercury Gown. If the Flowing Mercury Gown was adjusted to its lowest binding, then Yi Yun would only feel like he was wearing a tighter shirt, and it would not affect his movements.
This journey took another month. They traversed tens of thousands of miles of wasteland, passed through another long-distance teleportation formation, and arrived at a border city.
After waiting in the border city for three days, they met up with the other Jin Long Wei teams. After another long-distance teleportation, they finally arrived at their destination, the Kingdom's heartlands!
When Yi Yun followed the Jin Long Wei out of the teleportation formation. Seeing the scene in front of him, Yi Yun took a deep breath!
Everyone was now on a long and endless cliff. Below the cliff was a hundred thousand feet cliff!
This cliff was shockingly smooth. It was as if a mountain had been split apart by a god's sword, and the other half had been taken away. The broken section was like a huge ruler lying across this place!
At the bottom of the cliff, at the end of one's vision, there was an even more shocking scene.
There was an extremely thick divine pagoda. This divine pagoda was completely black in color. It was like a World Tree, reaching straight into the sky!
This pagoda was so thick that it was unbelievable. And around the divine pagoda was a huge city.
This city's walls were dark red in color. They were tall and thick. From afar, it looked like a divine door in the heavens.
On top of the city walls, there were thousands of airships floating in the air. Each airship could carry tens of thousands of people. In between the airships, there were all sorts of spirit beasts flying in the air. These spirit beasts were covered in scales and had dragon horns. Some were covered in colorful feathers. Some had a dragon's head and a lion's body. They looked extremely ferocious.
Every spirit beast exuded a powerful aura. They were more than a hundred times stronger than the Jin Long Wei's near-horned beasts!
From so far away, everyone could faintly see that these spirit beasts were being ridden.
It was hard to imagine what realm the people riding the ancient beasts were at.
"In the vast Cloud Wilderness, there are countless tribes. But the people there can only be frogs in a well their entire lives …"
Yi Yun muttered to himself. Back in the vast wilderness, he had heard people say more than once that the world was extremely vast. He also knew that the large sects with deep heritage and ancient divine kingdoms had unimaginable strength.
But even if he was mentally prepared, Yi Yun still found it hard to calm the shock in his heart when he saw it with his own eyes.
It was too grand. Describing the picture in front of him as magnificent was not enough!
Yi Yun had obtained impressive results in the vast wilderness, but in the ancient Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, it was nothing.
Yes, of the four ranks of Heaven, Earth, Mystic and Yellow, he had only been evaluated as the Mystic rank. And he was not the best amongst the Mystic ranks.
Yi Yun was still fine, but the people who had followed Yi Yun to the heartlands were completely stunned. The scene in front of them was beyond their understanding.
What is this place? The divine world?
This world can be like this?
Just as Yi Yun was in shock, he felt a soft hand placed on his palm. Yi Yun turned his head and saw Jiang Xiaorou. "Yun-er, you still have a long way to go."
"Alright!"
Yi Yun nodded and smiled. Jiang Xiaorou was always the first to know what he was thinking.
In Yi Yun's heart, Jiang Xiaorou was an understanding and kind-hearted girl.
Zhang Tan patted Yi Yun on the shoulder and said, "This city is called the Divine Capital. The Tai Ah Divine Kingdom has 108 states and 24 wild lands. The Divine Capital is one of the biggest cities in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's Jing state. "
"Divine Capital! One of the biggest cities in the Jing state … "
Yi Yun's eyebrows pricked up. Such a city was only one of the biggest cities in the Jing state under the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's jurisdiction!
The Divine Kingdom's heritage was imaginable!
"Let's go. Let's enter the city! The Jin Long Wei has a camp in the Divine Capital. That is our territory. "
Saying that, Zhang Tan shook the reins and the near-horned beast ran along the cliff. After running for an hour, they circled around the huge cliff and came to the Divine Capital's entrance.
Up close, the Divine Capital was even more magnificent. The entrance was like the legendary door to heaven. It was more than three hundred feet tall.
In front of the entrance. The two squads of guards stood in neat rows. They were dressed in shiny silver armors and had four-foot-long swords hanging from their waists. They looked like a row of ancient fierce beasts that were lying dormant.
With one look, one could tell that this kind of person was a true master of iron and blood who had gone through bloodshed, and not the kind of person who was chosen just because he looked mighty.
The strength of a city's heritage could be seen from the soldiers guarding the gates. These guards were probably warriors at the peak of the Purple Blood realm!
Yi Yun thought. He was secretly shocked.
"Dismount!" Zhang Tan waved his hand and everyone dismounted.
Zhang Tan smiled and said, "The Divine Capital has a rule that commoners enter and exit the city. They have to dismount, but … Kingdom Knights and Barons are not restricted by this rule. They can ride their mounts through the city gates. And above that are people with the title of Viscount and above. They can ride their flying mounts and fly over the city walls, directly into the Divine Capital. In the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, the hierarchy is very clear and the order is very strict! "
"Oh? Hierarchy … "Yi Yun sighed," If the hierarchy is too clear, wouldn't it cause dissatisfaction among the people? "
Zhang Tan was stunned, "Why would there be dissatisfaction? In the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, all those with a title of nobility have to fight on the battlefield. They have to defend against fierce beasts and desolate beasts. It can be said that they risk their lives in exchange for a peaceful life for the commoners. The higher the nobility, the more meritorious they are! Many people want to enter the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom and live in peace. They will only be grateful to the warriors who protect them, so why would they be dissatisfied? "
Hearing Zhang Tan's words, Yi Yun was enlightened. Yes, this strange world was not peaceful. The status and glory here were all earned with one's life!
People would be dissatisfied with a status that was hereditary or obtained through connections. But for glory that was earned with one's life, people would only respect and revere it.
As such, in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, the status of nobility not only meant privileges, it also meant unlimited glory!
With this thought in mind, Yi Yun looked up into the sky. In the sky, there were huge and luxurious airships. There were heroic spirit birds and spirit beasts.
Noticing Yi Yun's gaze, Zhang Tan laughed, "What are you thinking about?"
Yi Yun did not hide it, "I'm thinking that one day, I will also sit on this airship, riding a flying spirit beast or a primordial species into the Divine Capital!"
"Hahaha!" Zhang Tan laughed, "Yes, that's it! As martial artists, that's what we should do! There is no end to martial arts. We should constantly climb upwards! "
Saying that, Zhang Tan patted Yi Yun on the shoulder. He was beginning to appreciate Yi Yun more and more.
Sun Jingrui had reported everything that Yi Yun had done in the Lian tribal clan to Zhang Tan. After hearing it, Zhang Tan felt that Yi Yun's temperament was to his liking.
A warrior should be like this, to be quick and clear.
