Chapter 601 Dachang Imperial City, Dachang True Lord
Xiao Zhui flies high in the sky, as fast as lightning and as fast as thunder.
The scenery below was moving backwards rapidly.
There are mountains, rivers, villages, market towns, cities, and occasionally the mountain gates and dojos of some cultivation sects.
Taoist monks are stationed in the sect's mountain gates and dojos, and arrays are arranged to sense the surroundings.
When Xiao Zhi's figure passed by these mountain gates and dojos, monks would rise into the sky, stare at Xiao Zhi, and watch Xiao Zhi leave.
When some monks looked at Xiao Zhi, their eyes looked quite wary.
Some monks have a more friendly attitude and bow to Xiao Zhi from a distance. When encountering this situation, Xiao Zhi usually chooses to return the favor.
Later, he deliberately avoided these monastic sects and flew towards the Dachang Imperial City at high speed.
He didn't really come here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but he had his own mission and purpose.
He must raise his own strength to the peak of the Golden Core as soon as possible, and then practice high-level magical powers that suit him, and make his own strength as strong as possible. In this way, he can always have an advantage in the Sumeru Realm of all living beings.
.
In a word, whether in the world of living beings or in the Sumeru realm of living beings, one's own strength is the foundation.
At night, Xiao Zhi, who had been flying in the sky for a day and spent dozens of spiritual stones, finally approached the capital of Dachang Kingdom - Dachang Imperial City!
At Xiao Zhi's current level of cultivation and realm, the night was already the same as the day. Even in the darkest night, the huge city in front of him still appeared in detail in his eyes.
Looking from a distance, the Imperial City has a taller and thicker city wall than Beilan Dao City. The city wall exudes a pale golden light, and from time to time there will be a trace of pale golden light flowing from the city wall.
Xiao Zhi could tell at a glance that the city wall had been reinforced with Taoist special runes. Although it was a stone wall, it might be several times stronger than the steel city wall in the real world.
Not only does it have taller and stronger city walls, the urban area of Dachang Imperial City is also several times that of Beilan Dao City.
According to the information collected by the All Living Beings Army, it is roughly estimated that the entire Dachang Imperial City has a total population of 14 million!
14 million people, what is this concept?
Even in the real world where there are many high-rise buildings and the urban area can be fully utilized, a city with a population of 14 million can be regarded as a first-tier metropolis.
And in the world of living beings, such a city, among many cities, is definitely at the level of giant. In this huge world of living beings, it is not cold at a high place, and you can see the mountains and small mountains at a glance.
The imperial city is divided into inner city and outer city.
The area of the outer city is much larger than that of the inner city. Most of the residents are ordinary people, a mixed bag of good and bad. The public security here is not good, but it is not bad either.
The environment in the inner city is much better than that in the outer city. Those who are qualified to live in the inner city are either rich or noble. Let alone ordinary people, even most of the innate warriors are not qualified to live there.
city.
Of course, the foundation-building monks are already extraordinary and must be qualified to live in the inner city.
As for a Jindan monk like Xiao Zhi, he is considered the number one figure even in the Dachang Imperial City where there are so many powerful people. It is easy for him to enter the inner city to live.
Dachang Shenmen is located in the central area of the inner city.
Inside the Divine Gate, there is a huge statue. The statue is thousands of feet high and towering like a mountain.
This is a statue of an old man with an immortal Taoist spirit. The old man is wearing a loose Taoist robe and has a Taoist hairpin. He holds a sword in his hand, slightly raising his head and staring ahead, with his long eyebrows drooped and a look of compassion on his face.
Even though he was still far away, Xiao Zhi saw the statue in Dachang Shenmen at a glance, because this statue was so conspicuous and recognizable.
In modern terms, this is called a city landmark.
According to the information collected by the All Living Beings Army, this statue is the statue of the master of Dachang Shenmen, and it has been standing here for an unknown number of years.
As the political, economic, and cultural center of the entire Dachang Kingdom, the Imperial City of Dachang also has a large defensive formation.
The name of the city protection formation is the Nine Condensation Formation of Heaven and Earth.
The number of nine is extremely high, which means that within the territory of Dachang Kingdom, the Nine Condensation Formation of Heaven and Earth in Dachang Imperial City is already the limit of this country's defensive formation.
It is said that once the Nine Condensation Formation of Heaven and Earth is attacked, it will bloom with brilliant colorful light, which is so beautiful that Xiao Zhi has never seen it before and doesn't know if it is true.
After floating high in the sky and looking far away for a while, Xiao Zhi lowered his head again and took a closer look at the several gates of Dachang Imperial City facing this direction.
Every gate in Dachang Imperial City has its own name.
Daxing Gate, Longchang Gate, Yongsheng Gate...
When he saw the Yongsheng Gate, Xiao Zhi had a thought in his mind and used [Shrink the Ground to an Inch]. His body flashed several times before he came to the ground and appeared in the huge and magnificent Dachang Imperial City.
before the door.
Then he took steps, step by step, towards the gate of Yongsheng City.
At the city gate, there is a city guard wearing a helmet guarding the city.
Xiao Zhi's current level of cultivation was such that at a casual glance, he discovered that each of these city guards actually had high-level innate strength. The captain of the city guards who headed them was a martial arts cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building!
The guards at one city gate alone had such a luxurious lineup.
If this were left to the Beilan Road, an innate high-level martial artist could already become a guerrilla in a county, and his status would only be lower than that of the county magistrate.
But when they arrived at the imperial city, the innate high-level warriors could only serve as gate guards.
In addition to the city guards responsible for guarding the city gate, Xiao Zhi also discovered a figure that was different from ordinary people.
This was a figure made of copper and iron, standing in the shadow of the city gate. When Xiao Zhi saw it, his eyes narrowed, and he could tell at a glance that this was a Taoist soldier, a foundation-level Taoist soldier.
.
When Xiao Zhi approached the city gate, before these city guards could make any move, the Taoist soldier's eyes shone brightly and he said in a somewhat stiff voice: "Xiao Zhi, Beilan Road Patrol Envoy, Jindan
Later martial arts training is normal."
Xiao Zhi was a little surprised that this Taoist soldier could see his true and false status at a glance using his 'electronic eye'.
Is this the legendary Internet of Everything?
Who said that the world of sentient beings is ignorant and backward?
There is an Internet network in the real world, and it also exists in this world of living beings. Have you heard of Wanzhen Internet?
After hearing what the Taoist soldiers said, the somewhat arrogant expressions on the faces of the city guards responsible for guarding the city gate disappeared immediately, and they all saluted Xiao Zhi respectfully: "Sir!
"
Even the captain of the city gate who has the strength of the middle stage of foundation building is no exception.
It would be fine if the person who came was a foundation-building monk, but the person who came turned out to be a late-stage Jindan monk!
Such a being can be considered a big shot even in the Dachang Imperial City where there are so many powerful people. Facing such a big shot, they do not dare to neglect.
Facing the respectful salutes of these city guards, Xiao Zhi just nodded slightly and stepped into the city gate.
When passing the Taoist soldier, Xiao Zhi took a deep look at it.
When Xiao Zhi passed through the city gate and entered the city, he glanced over and saw a young man wearing black military uniform standing in front of an archway not far from the city gate.
The young man's eyes never left the city gate. When he saw Xiao Zhi, he immediately came towards him.
"Mr. Xiao Zhi, I am Qian Yong of the Army of All Living Beings. I have finally waited for you." There was a hint of excitement in the young man's tone.
"Hello." Xiao Zhi nodded slightly towards the young man.
"Mr. Xiao Zhi, please come with me." The young man made an inviting gesture towards Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Zhi nodded, and the young man began to lead the way.
This is an innate extreme warrior. When he runs at full speed on the street, he is as fast as a gust of wind.
Xiao Zhi walked casually, as if strolling in a garden, and followed the young man unhurriedly.
It's just that this speed didn't last long. Once it reached a street with more pedestrians, the speed had to slow down.
In this way, they ran through more than a dozen streets in a row. Some streets were not crowded at all, but some streets were busy and bustling. Xiao Zhi and the others had no choice but to move forward a little bit like turtles.
This made Xiao Zhi feel helpless.
This damn air ban.
Dachang Imperial City also has a ban on flying, and the ban is even stricter. Unless it is an emergency, even those high-ranking Nascent Soul overhauls are prohibited from flying into the sky.
Not to mention flying into the air, ordinary warriors and monks, even if they fly over the walls in the imperial city, it is a serious crime. Once caught, they will be severely punished.
If there was no air ban, with his current level of cultivation, he should be able to reach his destination in less than ten breaths.
Late at night, Xiao Zhi followed a young man named Qian Yong from the All Living Beings Army to an office of the All Living Beings Army in Dachang Imperial City.
This is a rather large private house. Inside the house, there are dozens of people busy, including men and women. They are all young people, with only a few middle-aged people.
After Xiao Zhi entered this private house, he looked around and said with some confusion: "After all, it is also the office of the All Living Beings Army in the Imperial City. It has only such a small number of people, but it is so big?"
His gaze is very sharp, and his 'Celestial Eye' magical power has the ability to see through. With a single glance, he can take in the general situation of the mansion.
There are a total of 42 people here, including 32 men and 10 women. Almost all are innate warriors. There is only one ordinary-looking young man who is a martial artist in the early stage of foundation building.
A middle-aged man who was accompanying him heard the words and hurriedly explained: "We, the Army of All Beings, have not just one office in the imperial city, but a total of twelve offices, including three in the inner city and nine in the outer city.
Our place is the seventh branch in the outer city, and I am the director of this seventh branch. My name is Lu Yongnian."
"That's it." Xiao Zhi nodded thoughtfully.
The Director of the Seventh Division, Lu Yongnian, was only an early Xiantian martial artist, but he was the person in charge here. The Foundation Establishment martial cultivator was instead his subordinate, at his disposal.
In the world of sentient beings, this is simply an incredible thing, but in the real world, this is normal.
Qian Yong continued: "This time, we have been given an order from above to let our seven offices in the outer city be responsible for entertaining you, Mr. Xiao Zhi. We have already arranged a room for you in the house, and the batch of talents who have been transferred to the imperial city from various roads have been arranged."
It will take two or three days to deliver the treasure, Mr. Xiao Zhi, please wait patiently."
It will take another two or three days...
Xiao Zhi was quite disappointed when he heard this, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he nodded to show that he understood.
The room arranged by Zhongshengjun for Xiao Zhi is located deep inside the house. It is relatively quiet here. There is also a simple soundproofing barrier placed around the room, making it even quieter.
Xiao Zhi also felt a little tired after flying for a day. After entering the room, he sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and rested.
After closing his eyes for a while, he was about to consciously enter the Sumeru Realm of All Living Beings to check out the situation, but at this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door of the room.
Xiao Zhi waved his hand, and a trace of true energy surged out of his body, pulling the door open and opening it.
Standing outside the door was Lu Yongnian, the person in charge of this office.
"Mr. Xiao Zhi, excuse me, I was asked to give this to you." Lu Yongnian walked in with a smile on his face, took out a green jade medal from his arms, and handed it to Xiao Zhi.
"What is this?" Xiao Zhi took the jade token and felt a little confused.
"You'll know after you take a look, so I won't disturb Mr. Xiao Zhi while you rest." After that, Lu Yongnian walked out of the room and gently closed the door for Xiao Zhi.
This is a jade plaque that records information.
After Lu Yongping left, Xiao Zhi pressed the jade plaque on his forehead.
Suddenly, some graphic information appeared in his mind.
What is recorded in this jade tablet turns out to be the current division of major forces in Dachang Kingdom...
Xiao Zhi couldn't help showing an expression of surprise on his face, and he quickly looked at it carefully.
Today's Dachang Kingdom has a total of four major forces, namely the three lines of Shenmen and the sect alliance.
The current leader of the Dachang Kingdom is the leader of the Dachang Shenmen. It is said that he is an extraordinary existence that has transcended the Nascent Soul Realm. He is named Dachang Zhenjun. Dachang Zhenjun sat down and had three disciples in total, namely Tai Xuzi and Qing.
Xuzi, and Yu Xuzi.
When the True Monarch of Dachang was here, he sat down with these three disciples to govern the entire Dachang Kingdom for him. On the contrary, the world was at peace, and there was never any major turmoil.
But the True Lord Dachang has not appeared again since fourteen years ago, as if he has disappeared from the world.
Some people say that he has encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation and is practicing hard in seclusion. Some people say that he has sneaked into the human world and is traveling around. Some people say that he has seen through the world and is hiding in the mountains. Some people say that Dachang Zhenjun had an affair with the Xuanming Kingdom fourteen years ago.
Emperor Xuanming fought in the Nine Nether Absolute Territory, and the battle caused the heaven and earth to collapse, and the sun and the moon lost all light. In the end, both sides died together, and their remains were buried deep in the Absolute Territory.
Various speculations are circulating, and no one can tell who is true and who is false.
The only thing that can be certain is that since the last appearance of Lord Dachang fourteen years ago, until today, he has indeed never appeared again.
The three disciples who sat down with True Monarch Dachang were relatively peaceful in the past few years. However, as a few years passed, differences began to arise between them.
