Zhang Dongyun played with the Azure Sky Eye in his hand as he walked out of the Daming Palace.
At the moment, he was 10,000 meters above the ground, and Zhang Dongyun's figure was still rising.
On the ground below, the Invincible City covered more than 25 million square kilometers of land.
In addition, all the space 512,000 meters above this land was also within the influence of the Invincible City system.
That was a total of 512 kilometers above the ground.
Zhang Dongyun hovered in the air.
The Daming Palace and the Sky City were far below his feet.
He played with the Azure Heaven's Eye, and rays of golden light spread out in all directions from the Azure Heaven's Eye.
Zhang Dongyun carefully sensed for a moment and shook his head slightly.
Beyond the range of the Invincible City, the golden light quickly dissipated.
It was still within the range of the system.
But the problem was that other than the dozen or so counties covered by the system, the rest of the Eastern Tang had already submitted to the Chang 'an.
If there was a difference between the inside and outside, it could stimulate people outside to strive to enter the city.
But in that way, the true range of the Invincible City would be easily exposed.
Although there were now defense missions, killing enemies outside the city could also accumulate defense points, the completion of some construction missions still required the outside environment to be controlled or coordinated.
Zhang Dongyun looked at the Azure Sky Eye floating in the air.
With the support of the Invincible City, he had some ideas about the modification of this little thing.
However, he still needed some preparation.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Dongyun returned to the Daming Palace.
Then, Mr. Dark Cloud, who was projected in the Dubhe Hall, gave an order.
The Sky City was officially open.
Those who made great contributions could enter the Sky City and stand above the mortal world.
When the news spread, the city was in an uproar.
To be able to live in the Immortal Palace in the sky was something unimaginable for everyone.
Moreover, there was a rumor in the Dubhe Hall:
In the Sky City, the spiritual energy was abundant, nourishing one's soul and body, and was extremely beneficial for cultivation. It was really like a paradise.
But now, could they also ascend to the heavens like a legend?
In the face of the excitement of the crowd, Mr. Dark Cloud released the second news unhurriedly.
There were only five people in the first batch to enter the city.
The old man himself.
Blood Shadow.
Mr. He.
Mr. Long.
Also, Mr. Zhang.
Hearing this news, everyone calmed down slightly.
Come to think of it, the five of them were of noble status, second only to His Majesty and higher than the others.
It was only natural that they would be the first batch to enter the city.
Mr Dark Cloud had been in charge of the daily affairs of the city.
In the hearts of most people, he could be regarded as Chang 'an, second only to one person.
In fact, it wouldn't be too much to say that he was an unnamed deputy city lord.
Needless to say, Mr. Blood Shadow had always had a high status. Just like Mr. Dark Cloud, he was one of His Majesty's trusted subordinates.
Everyone was familiar with Mr. He, but he was also mysterious.
He was familiar with him because even ordinary people in Chang 'an often saw him.
Many people had listened to his lectures and learned to read from him.
All the academies in Chang 'an regarded him as their leader.
There were even rumors that Mr. He was in charge of the mysterious Idle Sky Palace, which was in charge of espionage.
In terms of daily affairs, his position was second only to Mr. Dark Cloud.
He was mysterious because Mr. He rarely made any moves.
Everyone knew that he must be a great Confucian scholar with high cultivation, but few people knew what his cultivation was like.
However, there was news that Wan Li, the director of Tingshan Academy in the Seventh Realm, and Xu Xingzhi, who graduated from White Horse College, had improved their cultivation, strength, and knowledge after listening to Mr. He's lectures.
Therefore, everyone in the city was in awe of Mister He.
Most cultivators in Chang 'an were familiar with these three people, and even ordinary people often heard of them.
In comparison, the other two people were more unfamiliar.
Everyone had heard of Mr. Long.
It was said that there was a demon master in Chang 'an who cultivated the Illusion Sky Dragon, and his cultivation was above Blood Shadow's.
This old man was the number one demon master in Chang 'an.
Rumor had it that there was a Ninth Realm.
However, only a few people had actually seen the Illusion Sky Dragon. Therefore, Mr. Long was still mysterious in everyone's eyes.
As for Mr. Zhang, it was rumored that he was the reincarnation of an old friend of the City Lord.
Although his current cultivation was only in the Sixth or Seventh Realm, he had defeated countless people in the city.
It was said that as long as a prisoner could defeat Mr. Zhang, he could immediately regain his freedom.
Unfortunately, no one had succeeded until now.
Therefore, Mr. Zhang gradually became another legend in Chang 'an.
Some people had seen him, and Mr. Dark Cloud was very respectful to him.
Therefore, although Mr. Zhang was mysterious, most people knew that he had a noble status.
Now, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Long were entering the Sky City with the other three masters. Everyone was not surprised when they thought about it carefully.
However, everyone sighed in their hearts.
The standard was so high that they probably had no chance.
"The five of us will enter the Sky City, and each of us will have ten attendants."
At this time, Mr. Dark Cloud said, "However, those who enter the city with us will all be servants and will not be treated well in the Sky City.
The period will be at least three years. After three years, if they make great contributions, they will be removed from their status as servants and officially enter the city. If they don't make any contributions, they will always be servants. "
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this.
Then, Mr. Dark Cloud poured cold water on them, and they all calmed down.
"Sir, when will the second batch enter the Sky City, and how many people will there be?" someone asked tentatively.
Mr. Dark Cloud did not mind the other party's question, but his answer made everyone hesitate.
"The time is up to His Majesty. I dare not ask. As for the number of people, I am not sure, but it will not be a lot."
Everyone looked at each other and could not make up their minds.
What if His Majesty chose again soon?
What if they had enough merits by then?
Then wouldn't they have wasted three years, or even more, as servants now?
Besides, how could it be that easy to be a servant?
Those who had hopes of entering the city were mostly heroes. It was very difficult for them to bend their knees and serve others.
Of course, it was not necessarily a bad thing to follow the other party into the city first.
Although they could not enjoy the various conveniences of the Sky City like the five gentlemen, they were all top masters. It was enough to benefit from their guidance.
Besides, there might be more opportunities to make contributions if they followed them.
Everyone was hesitant.
Mr. Dark Cloud did not care much about this. He just ordered the news to be spread all over the Chang 'an.
Many people were still working hard on the land of the old Tang Dynasty.
After hearing the news, countless people were also conflicted.
However, the people who were conflicted were mainly high-level figures.
As for the matter of being the servants of the gentlemen, many people decided to send their young people to Mr. Dark Cloud and the others.
Ao Kong was in the Daming Palace. He asked helplessly, "Boss, why do you have to do this? Can't I just live in your palace?"
"Of course," Zhang Dongyun replied indifferently.
Ao Kong was a little annoyed. "Then why do you have to put on a fake identity in the city below?"
"The more different your behavior and habits are from our past, the more confused Ying Xiao and I will be."
Shen Herong said with a smile, "Although Yang Li knows your identity, it seems that he and Ying Xiao are not on the same side. He may not be confident if we ask him to meet you."
Ao Kong nodded helplessly. "Forget it, forget it."
Blood Shadow, who was in the land of the Western Zhou Dynasty, was calm when he received the news.
Having five companions was not something to brag about.
However, he was in the first group of people to ascend to the Sky City, which meant that he still had some weight in His Majesty's heart.
But he could not relax because of this. Instead, he had to strive to make more and greater contributions.
In this way, he could suppress the other four.
Today's news came at a good time. It made him more certain that in addition to Mr. Dark Cloud, there were three competitors.
"Tell Dark Cloud that I'm grateful for His Majesty's grace."
Old Demon Blood Shadow calmly informed the messenger. "However, I am currently carrying out an errand that His Majesty has given me. I will only return after I have completed it. As for those ten servants of mine, I will decide for myself after I return."
"Yes, senior." The messenger respectfully retreated.
Blood Shadow looked at the land that originally belonged to the Western Zhou Dynasty under his feet.
All of this will belong to His Majesty!
A shrill and terrifying phoenix cry rang out.
The blood-red phoenix spread its wings and flew forward, leaving behind a rain of blood.
From the land of the former Tang Dynasty to the east, it was the territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
After passing through the Eastern Jin Dynasty and arriving at its eastern border, one could see the vast ocean.
The ocean was so vast that one could not see the end of it.
From then on, it traveled all the way to the east, crossing a greater distance than the east and west of the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty combined. When it came to the deep ocean, it could be seen that the ocean was stormy.
In the midst of the hurricane and the waves, a white bird hovered in the air above the undulating sea.
The white bird looked thin and light, but it hovered steadily in the terrifying hurricane and was completely unaffected by the storm and the waves.
It had been here for many days.
And it seemed like it would continue to stay here.
But the person it was waiting for didn't make it wait in the storm.
All of a sudden, the billowing waves of the sea calmed down in an instant.
The hurricane that enveloped the area also stopped in an instant.
Looking into the distance, one could still see the raging waves and the storm.
But in the area where the white bird hovered, everything disappeared miraculously.
In the next moment, the ocean below the white bird parted from the center and the seawater retreated to the sides.
Slowly, a purple cloud surrounded by white gas rose from the center of the ocean.
A young Daoist priest in a snow-white robe stood on the purple cloud.
As soon as he appeared, the white bird descended from the sky.
When it got close to the Daoist priest, the bird's body turned from white to purple.
The Daoist priest flicked his finger lightly, and the purple bird suddenly turned into a cloud of purple smoke.
When the purple smoke dissipated, the Daoist priest looked at the land in the west.
"Pure Yang Immortal Soul, Chang 'an …"
He pondered for a moment, then stepped on the purple cloud and headed west. Wherever he went, the storm stopped.
