A majestic ancient city appeared at the end of Ye Xingchen's vision.
The ancient city was majestic and sat at the end of the earth. Under the sunlight, it gave off a golden light, like a heavenly palace standing in the mortal world.
Daluo Sacred City!
This was the name of the ancient city. One could enter the Daluo Sacred Road from the altar in the center of the ancient city.
Daluo Sacred City was one of the ten ancient cities in this world. It was as famous as Ancient Desolate City. It was one of the oldest ancient cities and had experienced countless storms.
Ye Xingchen entered the city and walked towards the altar in the center.
Daluo Sacred City was extremely prosperous and didn't look sacred at all. Instead, it looked more like a city in the mortal world with all kinds of hawking.
There were beings from various races in Daluo Sacred City. Some came for training, some to enter the Daluo Sacred Road in hopes of entering the Daluo World.
The people who were training on the Daluo Holy Road could not stay there forever. They would definitely come out. They would bring out many spiritual herbs and ancient artifacts from the Daluo Holy Road. Some of the clansmen of the smaller clans would sell the artifacts that they had obtained but had no use for them.
Ye Xingchen wasn't interested in these things. He went to the altar in the center and prepared to enter the Daluo Sacred Road.
"Bang!"
When he arrived at the plaza in front of the altar, he heard a commotion. Then, he heard many discussions.
"Zi Kuangtu, the young master of the Purple Lightning Race, has entered the upper Fragmentation Realm. He actually received a rating of seven stars from the Daluo Life Stele. Impressive."
"The Purple Lightning Race is a mid-tier race. If Zi Kuangtu can complete the Daluo Sacred Road and enter the Daluo World, the Purple Lightning Race might become a great race in the future."
"The Golden Lion Race, Moon Race, Heaven's Legacy Race, Peacock Race, and other great races have existed for millions of years. It's time for the eleventh great race to appear."
The surrounding beings discussed softly, and Ye Xingchen received a lot of news.
"Zi Kuangtu, the young master of the Purple Lightning Race." Ye Xingchen's lips curled into a smile. They were really fated to meet a member of this race the moment he arrived.
Ye Xingchen looked at a domineering purple figure on the altar.
Zi Kuangtu had a head of purple hair, and his eyes were sharp and tyrannical. His purple battle robe fluttered in the wind, and purple lightning coiled around his body. Purple mist rose from his body.
"The young master of the Violet Lightning Race, Zi Kuangtu, has just come out of seclusion and obtained a seven-star evaluation from the Saint Stele. Among the geniuses in the past hundred thousand years, he has already entered the top ten thousand."
"I heard that the Young Master of the Violet Lightning Race, the Young Master of the Soul Race and the Young Master of the Ferocious Spirit Race aren't on good terms. I wonder if the Young Masters of the Soul Race and the Ferocious Spirit Race will come."
"You still don't know? The young master of the Fierce Spirit Race has been killed. "
"What? Killed by someone? Which race's creature is so daring to provoke the Vicious Spirit Race? They must be tired of living."
"Could he have been killed by the elders of the Violet Lightning Clan?"
"Haven't you heard of me? He was killed. It was the work of a human. "
The crowd was stunned. A green-haired creature said in disbelief, "How is this possible? It's not like I don't know how low the status of the human race is. How could there be an expert from the human race who could kill the young master of the Fierce Spirit Race?"
"Have you guys forgotten? Recently, many powerful humans have appeared in this land. They came from the outside world, and the humans from the outside world are not lowly. In fact, they are one of the strongest races in the world."
"Maybe there are people from the outside world who found the Fierce Spirit Race enslaving humans to be an eyesore and killed them."
"Hehe, good kill. The Fierce Spirit Race is cruel and tyrannical, and the young master of the Fierce Spirit Race is the same. He likes to torture living beings. When he was in the Daluo Sacred City, there was a young master of a small race who had just entered the city and offended him. He captured that young master and tortured him for several days before killing him." Some creatures couldn't stand the actions of the Fierce Spirit Race and mocked.
"Zi Kuangtu, you've grown up. To think that you can actually hit a seven-star evaluation. Not bad, not bad." A mocking voice drifted over from afar.
The crowd automatically parted, and a black figure walked onto the platform.
This person's face was pale, as if he was gravely ill. However, his eyes shone brilliantly, and there was a divine flame dancing on his forehead. This was a sign that his divine sense had been cultivated to an extremely high level.
Everywhere he passed, there was a trace of coldness, and there was a faint black mist flowing around him. Everyone retreated when they saw this, so they knew this person's identity.
The young master of the Soul Spirit Race had an extremely high level of attainment in the Dao of the Soul Spirit Race. If they were not careful, they would fall into his Dao.
There was once a living being that offended the young master of the Soul Spirit Race. The young master of the Soul Spirit Race only glanced at him and didn't attack him. However, that living being didn't even return for three days before he died.
Clearly, the young master of the Soul Spirit Race's Dao of the Soul Spirit Race had reached perfection, and he could kill without leaving a trace.
"Hun Voidsun, you don't seem to have the qualifications to say such words to me." The young master of the Violet Lightning Race, Zi Kuangtu, looked at the young master of the Soul Spirit Race. The purple lightning around him crackled, and it was clear that he was furious.
"Hehe, you won't think like that in a moment." The young master of the Soul Spirit Race, Hun Voidsun, sneered.
He walked under the holy monument, and black mist curled around him, swallowing him up. Only two cold eyes shot out, and the divine flame on his forehead throbbed, condensing into a rune in the shape of a blood sword.
As soon as the blood sword rune appeared, the surrounding temperature rapidly rose. Clearly, Hun Voidsun's divine sense had already been refined into Yang.
Zi Kuangtu, who had his hands behind his back, sensed the changes in Hun Voidsun. His eyes became sharp, and he stared at Hun Voidsun, who was shrouded in black mist. Purple runes surged in his eyes as he observed his opponent.
The two races had enmity, and ever since they had arrived at Daluo Sacred City, they had been at loggerheads. Such a change in Hun Voidsun made them wary.
"Chi!"
A beam of blood light shot out, striking the holy monument.
"Buzz!"
The runes on the holy monument interweaved, and a dazzling river of stars appeared. Suddenly, the bright sky darkened, and countless stars appeared. Seven streams of starlight fell down, and seven large stars condensed above Hun Voidsun's head.
"Examinee, please carve your name." A majestic voice resounded. This was the will of the holy monument.
Hun Voidsun carved his name, and the seven large stars followed suit, imprinting themselves on the right side of his name, lining up on the holy monument.
"Seven stars, Hun Voidsun has also entered the top ten thousand of geniuses in the past hundred thousand years. His ranking is about the same as Zi Kuangtu."
"How terrifying. Did you guys notice just now? Hun Voidsun has already refined Yin into Yang. This is a sign that his soul dao has advanced to the next level."
"That's right. Just now, when he activated his divine sense, it was like a blazing sun."
The divine light in Zi Kuangtu's eyes retracted, and a sneer appeared on his face. "Hun Voidsun, I thought you guys had surpassed me. Turns out you only know how to act mysterious, and your strength is only so-so."
Hun Voidsun stopped and looked over with a cold gaze, causing people to shiver. A cold smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Zi Kuangtu, if you want to spar, I will accompany you anytime. Don't just talk and no action."
"There's no time like the present. Come on in now. Let me see how much you've improved." The purple lightning around Zi Kuangtu became more and more resplendent, almost turning into a halo. His aura surged, and within a radius of ten zhang, a purple lightning domain appeared. No one dared to approach.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" A black light flashed in Hun Voidsun's eyes, and a wisp of flame appeared on his forehead. The surrounding temperature rose, as if he was in a furnace.
"Stand guard. Killing is prohibited within the range of the central divine altar." The guards of Daluo Sacred City came over.
The leader was a young man in armor. He was very handsome, and he had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He looked very heroic.
This person was very steady. As he walked over, his powerful aura forced Hun Voidsun and Zi Kuangtu to take a few steps back.
"A quasi-powerful expert with one foot in the Reaching Heaven Realm, and he's so young, but his battle prowess is so great." Ye Xingchen's eyes flashed, feeling surprised.
"So it's Xuan Hong. He's ranked in the top 1,000 on the Daluo Sacred Stele in the past 100,000 years."
"I heard that he voluntarily joined Daluo Sacred City because he fell in love with the daughter of the Daluo City Lord at first sight. Thus, he joined the guards of Daluo Sacred City, hoping to get close to her first."
"The Daluo City Lord is one of the strongest people in this realm. His cultivation is unfathomable, and his daughter is a natural beauty. If I can get close to her, I'm willing to shorten my lifespan by a hundred years."
"Chi!"
A corporeal gaze shot over, and like a heavenly sword, it sent the being who had just spoken flying. The commander of the guards, Xuan Hong, said coldly, "If you dare to speak nonsense again, I'll kill you immediately."
That person shivered, and he didn't even dare to say anything. He left in a sorry state.
Hun Voidsun and Zi Kuangtu's expressions turned ugly. They were both geniuses, but they were actually suppressed by someone's aura, and they were even forced to take a few steps back in front of everyone. This was a great humiliation.
However, they could only bury their hatred in their hearts. Xuan Hong's ranking on the Saint Monument was far higher than theirs, and his cultivation was also stronger than theirs. It was very difficult for them to fight against him.
"There are ten great heavenly geniuses in the younger generation of this land. Although Xuan Hong isn't ranked within the ten great heavenly geniuses, his strength isn't any weaker than the ten great heavenly geniuses." Someone spoke softly, looking at Xuan Hong with fear.
"Xuan Hong's current ranking on the Saint Monument is eight stars, and this is the result of his test three years ago. Three years have passed, and it's impossible for a genius like him to not improve. If he tests again, he will definitely reach nine stars and stand shoulder to shoulder with the ten geniuses."
"The ten geniuses of the young generation — Yue Wuya, Mingqing Daozi, Jin Tianxiao, and the others — each of them has the strength to fight against powerful existences. If it was in the modern era, any one of them would be enough to suppress the world. But now, the era has changed, and so many geniuses have appeared all of a sudden."
"The era is changing. Don't you see that even the humans from the outside world have entered this world?"
The people below the platform discussed, and they were all filled with emotions.
Ye Xingchen stood at the side. He wasn't in a hurry to ascend the platform and teleport to the Daluo Holy Road.
After a while, Xuan Hong, Zi Kuangtu, and Hun Xuyang left, and the people who stayed behind quickly dispersed.
Most of them had received the news that Zi Kuangtu was going to test again, so they hurried over. Now that Zi Kuangtu and the other geniuses had left, they naturally dispersed.
In the next two hours, many martial artists ascended the platform for the test, but most of them were only one or two stars. A few of them reached three stars, and only one reached four stars, which made everyone gasp in surprise.
It was close to evening, and the sun was setting in the west. The crimson glow of the sunset dyed the sky red, illuminating the Holy City in a dazzling red.
At this moment, there weren't many living beings gathered below the platform.
Ye Xingchen didn't want to attract attention, so he quietly stepped onto the platform and walked towards the light screen entrance at the side. He wanted to enter the Daluo Holy Road.
Bang!
The light screen trembled slightly, and ripples spread out. He was bounced back.
"Haha, there's a fool who wants to enter the light screen without reaching one star battle prowess. What a joke." Someone saw this scene and sneered.
"Friend, you just arrived at the Holy City today, right?" A young martial artist kindly explained, "If you want to enter the Daluo Holy Road, you first need to obtain a pass, which is to reach one star battle prowess, trigger the resonance of the Daluo Holy Road, carve your name, and condense a one star mark."
"Thank you." Ye Xingchen cupped his fists and said.
He thought that the Daluo Holy Monument was used to test one's battle prowess, but it turned out that he also needed to obtain a pass through the Daluo Holy Monument.
This wasn't too difficult for him, but he was thinking about how much power he needed to use to not attract attention.
Ye Xingchen had offended many races in the Desolate Mountains, so it was better for him to keep a low profile.
"Forget it, I'll use a bit of power first. If it doesn't work, then I'll think about it." Ye Xingchen walked to the front of the Daluo Holy Monument.
The Daluo Saint Tablet stood tall like a divine mountain, emitting a dignified aura. Below the altar, one could not feel the aura that had been condensed for countless years, but standing below the Saint Tablet, one could clearly feel the aura.
Those who were weaker couldn't even stand firmly under the monument.
Everyone below the altar nodded when they saw Ye Xingchen standing firmly under the monument. Although this person was rash, his strength was passable. If there were no accidents, he would get a one star rating.
Bang!
Ye Xingchen waved his fist lightly, using about a bit of power, and hit the monument.
"Buzz!"
The monument trembled slightly, and the sky fell. Stars filled the sky, and in the middle of the galaxy, four beams of Star light were set up, shining like a light screen. Although there were four Stars, they floated above Ye Xingchen's head.
At this moment, a thought came to him, asking him to carve his name.
Ye Xingchen thought about it and carved his former alias in the virtual world: Ye Heng!
Swish!
The name Ye Xingchen carved rose from the bottom, finally stopping at about one million.
"Huh? He actually condensed four stars. I didn't expect this person to be so strong."
"Look, this person's ranking is around one million, which proves that his battle prowess is infinitely close to five stars. Maybe after a few years of cultivation, he will have a chance to enter the top one million."
"One to three stars are low-tier geniuses, and four to six stars are mid-tier geniuses. This person called Ye Heng's talent and battle prowess are not bad among mid-tier geniuses."
Everyone below the altar was a bit surprised, and they discussed in low voices. Of course, it was only a bit of surprise. After all, the Daluo Sacred City had the entrance to the Daluo Sacred Road, and the Sacred City gathered the elites of the younger generation from various races and cities.
The gazes of some living beings landed on Ye Heng's name, and they seemed to be deep in thought.
This person's battle prowess isn't weak, and he seems to be a lone cultivator. We can try to rope him into our forces. This was what many people were thinking.
It wasn't that they had nothing to do here, but rather that they were looking for talented martial artists and roping them into their own forces.
Someone with four-star battle prowess close to five-star was already qualified to be roped in by them.
For a moment, many people gathered around Ye Xingchen, promising him many benefits, trying to rope him into their forces.
"Brother Ye Xingchen, are you interested in joining our Shi family?" the person who kindly reminded Ye Xingchen asked.
