The Huge Imperial City
The Imperial City spanned thousands of miles and was the largest city in the Liuyun Dynasty. It was flourishing and had a dense population. If West Wind City were to be compared to it, the difference would be thousands of miles.
At this time, Chu Xingyun raised his head and stared at the towering city walls. His eyes shone brightly.
As long as he stepped through the city gates, he would be able to start investigating what happened sixteen years ago. The whereabouts of his parents, whether they were dead or alive, everything would be answered within the Imperial City!
"Brother Chu, let's enter the city." Luo Lan said, pulling Chu Xingyun back from his thoughts. He nodded slightly and the three of them followed the city gates and stepped into the Imperial City.
Within the Imperial City, there were many buildings. The bluestone paved streets were dozens of meters wide and one could not see the end of it. No matter how many people there were, it would not feel crowded.
"Spirit beasts!" At this time, Luo Lan suddenly exclaimed and hid behind Chu Xingyun.
On the bluestone streets, there were many martial artists riding on spirit beasts. As they walked back and forth, the roars of the beasts could be heard.
Luo Lan had personally experienced a terrifying beast tide and almost lost her life, so she was more sensitive to spirit beasts. Moreover, the spirit beasts here had a tyrannical aura and a majority of them had reached the Spirit Gathering Realm.
"There are countless experts in the Imperial City. It is very common for them to ride on spirit beasts. However, not all of the mounts here are spirit beasts. Some of them are Wu Ling." Chu Xingyun said to Luo Lan with a smile. This made Luo Lan somewhat puzzled. She asked, "Using Wu Ling as a mount? We don't need to fight now, so why would they release Wu Ling? "
"I once told you that after a martial artist communicates with the heavens and earth, they can condense Wu Ling. The existence of Wu Ling is not just for battle. They are more like a part of the body and are inseparable from the martial artist."
Chu Xingyun stretched out his hand and pointed at the people, saying, "The mount of the burly man in front, the bone fan in the hands of the white-clothed youth, and even the handcart pushed by the street vendor are actually Wu Ling."
"Only by integrating Wu Ling into every aspect of one's life can one understand and comprehend Wu Ling better. On the contrary, if one simply treats Wu Ling as an external object, one will often remain stagnant. This is why some people can't awaken Wu Ling's talent even after spending their entire lives trying. Even if they are lucky enough to awaken it, its power will be very ordinary."
"I see!" Luo Lan's talent was extremely high. When she heard Chu Xingyun's words, she immediately understood. Yang Feng's gaze hardened slightly as he lowered his head. He seemed to have understood Chu Xingyun's words.
Along the way, Chu Xingyun often imparted his cultivation experience to Luo Lan so that she could have a deeper understanding of cultivation. Yang Feng also heard a lot as he traveled with them.
In the beginning, Yang Feng didn't pay much attention to it. However, as time passed, he realized that every word Chu Xingyun said contained great wisdom. It almost directly pointed to the essence of cultivation and was very helpful to him.
"Senior Brother Yang!" At this moment, a voice sounded.
Chu Xingyun turned his gaze and saw a handsome youth in a brocade robe walking towards him with a gentle smile on his face.
Yang Feng revealed a smile and said, "Junior Brother Ye Huan, why are you here?"
"Master ordered me to wait for you here. Could this be the Chu Xingyun that Master mentioned?"
The youth in the brocade robe smiled at Chu Xingyun and extended his hand, "Hello, my name is Ye Huan. I'm a disciple of Yang Yan and I'm a core disciple of Lingxiao Martial House. I've heard about you. Please advise me in the future."
Chu Xingyun also extended his hand but didn't say much. He only nodded slightly.
"His personality is like this. He's a bit of a loner. Junior Brother Ye Huan, don't mind him." Yang Feng was afraid that Ye Huan would feel awkward and immediately said something.
Ye Huan shook his head and maintained his smile, "A person who can be valued by Master is definitely not an ordinary person. It's normal for him to be a bit of a loner."
After saying that, Ye Huan's body suddenly emitted a pure spiritual energy. As the spiritual energy condensed, a high-pitched eagle's cry came from the void. Then, a black golden-winged eagle swooped down and landed in front of the four people.
"Rank Four Wu Ling." Chu Xingyun frowned slightly. As expected of Yang Yan's disciple, his talent was really good. Wu Ling had also reached rank four.
"Junior Brother Chu really has good eyesight." Ye Huan gave Chu Xingyun a thumbs up and said with a smile, "The Imperial City is vast. If you walk on foot, it would be difficult to reach the Martial House in one day and one night. I'll give you a ride and at the same time, I can introduce the Imperial City to you."
Chu Xingyun didn't refuse and the four of them stepped on the black golden-winged eagle together.
Screech!
The black golden-winged eagle screeched angrily. Its body soared into the sky and rushed forward. Its speed was so fast that it stirred up a gust of wind, causing Chu Xingyun's robe to flutter.
"Junior Brother Chu, although the Imperial City is vast and has a population of over ten million people, overall, it is divided into four major areas. The area we were in just now is the outer city. The outer city is filled with all kinds of buildings such as cloth markets, auction houses, battle palaces, and so on. It's a place where good and bad people mingle and there are a large number of martial artists."
Ye Huan pointed downwards. There were countless buildings and pavilions there. According to some kind of pattern, they were divided into different areas. The number of martial artists was huge, and people were coming and going. It was very lively.
"The five Martial Houses are located in the inner city. In addition, some of the big families and high officials also live in the inner city. This place is different from the outer city. It has already started to have a strict system. As for the deeper area, it is the Drifting Cloud Palace. Other than the royal family, no one else is allowed to enter without permission."
"Outer city, inner city, palace … what about the fourth area?" Luo Lan asked curiously.
"The fourth area is over there." Ye Huan let the black golden-winged eagle fly higher. He then pointed to a mountain range on the side and said in a clear voice, "The fourth area is the Drifting Cloud Mountain Range. This mountain range stretches for thousands of miles and is vast and boundless. There are countless powerful spirit beasts living in it and it is very dangerous. Therefore, it is also called the Training Mountain Range."
"With such a huge mountain range, if there is a beast tide or some kind of natural disaster, wouldn't the Imperial City be affected?" Luo Lan's mouth was wide open. This mountain range was so vast that the black golden-winged eagle could only see a part of it even after reaching a height of nearly ten thousand feet.
"Although there are dangers in the mountain range surrounding the city, there are also great benefits. Aside from gathering spiritual materials, you can also use spirit beasts as training grounds. I even heard that there are many strong cultivators' cave dwellings in the Drifting Cloud Mountain Range." Ye Huan explained slowly. He did not ignore Luo Lan just because of her identity. His temperament was very gentle.
The black golden-winged eagle's speed was very fast. However, it still flew for half an hour before it slowly stopped and circled in the air.
Below, there was a huge square. Many roads gathered under a huge arched door. Behind the arched door, there were many people. Roughly estimating that there were no less than ten thousand people.
