Being deprived of his royal qualifications, Duanmu Qing did not return to Shangyu City, the capital of his country, but stayed at the Tianyao Sect.
With three days left before the January deadline, Cang Xiaotian and Master Mo took a spiritual flying boat to Shangyu City, the capital of the country.
Shangyu City is located in the hinterland of the empire, quite far away from Meijiang County in Northern Yanzhou, and it would take a day for the two of them to travel in a spiritual flying boat.
In the distance, a towering city came into view.
This is Cang Xiaotian’s first visit to Shangyu City, the capital of the country.
Magnificent, huge, shocking.
Just looking at it from a distance is enough to be breathtaking.
It deserves to be the capital of the country.
Before they even got close to Shangyu City, Master Mo landed on the ground in his spiritual flying boat, and the two of them walked towards the city gate.
Within the capital city of Shangyu, flying is prohibited, whether for practitioners or flying magic weapons.
At the gate of the city, there are two rows of guards wearing armor and holding weapons, all of them the first level of gods.
Everyone who enters the city gate must be inspected by guards.
When Cang Xiaotian and Master Mo were queuing up to enter the city, they noticed a spiritual consciousness scanning him from head to toe. When nothing suspicious was found, the spiritual consciousness retreated.
"This is the outer city. Everyone can enter and exit. Once you reach the inner city, you will need to enter with your identity card."
Master Mo said through a message.
Cang Xiaotian nodded, and the jade sticker given to him by the envoy was his identity jade badge for entering the capital.
After paying the entrance fee, Master Mo led the way, and the two of them went straight to the teleportation circle on the side.
Flying is not allowed, but Shangyu City is so big that traveling by foot would really waste time. Therefore, there are many teleportation arrays in the city, distributed throughout the city.
Master Mo was familiar with the road and led Cang Xiaotian through several teleportations and finally arrived at the gate of the inner city.
After revealing their identities, the two of them successfully entered the inner city and went straight to the palace of the king.
Along the way, Cang Xiaotian did not dare to use his spiritual sense to explore, but just took a casual look.
He suddenly thought of the classic saying of Yuan Feiji: The gods are as numerous as dogs, and the gods are everywhere.
Although the inner city of Shangyu City is not so exaggerated, but with a casual glance, I saw many gods. Although, they are all the first level of gods.
Compared to Meijiang County in Beiyan Prefecture, there are only a dozen or so gods in one county.
Soon, the two came to a majestic hall.
The interior space of the main hall is huge, and many practitioners have already gathered together in twos and threes, sitting on the floor. Seeing Cang Xiaotian and others coming in, everyone looked over casually.
"Um?"
"It's him!"
"Master Tianxue? He's here too."
A person's name, the shadow of a tree.
Obviously, many people present recognized Cang Xiaotian.
Master Mo turned his head and glanced at Cang Xiaotian, and said via voice transmission: "You are very famous now!"
Cang Xiaotian is helpless.
There are more than twenty cultivators in the main hall. Except for Cang Xiaotian, all of them are high-level powerful gods. It seems that there are no weak people invited by the Lord Shang Yu this time.
Cang Xiaotian casually looked around and found two familiar faces. They were two of the five high-level powerful gods who had surrounded and suppressed the Tianyao Sect with Master Ge Yang.
The two high-level spiritual masters noticed that Cang Xiaotian was looking at them, and they subconsciously turned their heads away.
Although they knew that Cang Xiaotian would never dare to attack them at this time, they still couldn't help but be afraid. In fact, the scene of killing Ge Yang in an instant frightened them so much.
"If I had known that Emperor Shang Yu also invited Master Tianxue, I wouldn't have come."
The two high-level powerful gods had some regrets.
But it’s already here, there’s no point regretting it, we can only take it one step at a time.
Cang Xiaotian and Master Mo also randomly picked a place and sat on the floor.
Time passed quickly, and the one month prescribed by Emperor Shang Yu was up.
After Cang Xiaotian and Master Mo, several more practitioners came. There are now thirty spiritual practitioners in the entire hall. Twenty-nine high-ranking gods, plus one Cang Xiaotian.
at some point.
call!
A figure appeared on the throne at the end of the hall.
The clothes are luxurious, the utensils are majestic, and the eyes are deep and vast, seeming to be able to see everything in the world.
The leader of the Shangyu Empire and the strongest person in the empire, Emperor Shangyu.
Seeing the appearance of Emperor Shangyu, the lord of the country, all the practitioners in the hall quickly stood up and saluted Emperor Shangyu.
In the world of practitioners, the strong are respected.
With great strength, other practitioners must be in awe.
Cang Xiaotian and Mo Shangren were side by side, mixed in with the crowd of practitioners.
"Everyone!" Emperor Shang Yu spoke, and his voice echoed through the entire hall, "Practitioners compete with heaven for their destiny. The road of cultivation is full of thorns, but risks and opportunities coexist. If you want to achieve great fortune, you must go through a great test."
Cang Xiaotian and the other thirty people in the Divine Realm listened obediently. They did not even dare to communicate with each other, for fear that Emperor Shang Yu would notice. They did not dare to speculate on the methods of the powerful ones in the Divine Lord Realm.
But I heard Emperor Shang Yu continue to say: "This time the Youhe Empire and his party will be fully responsible for the three peak gods. You and others will also be divided into three teams."
"Remember, whether it is a dangerous place, a secret realm, or a small world, you must obey the instructions of the peak god before you can enter. Half of all the proceeds from the expedition must be handed over to the empire."
Speaking of this, Emperor Shang Yu glanced at everyone.
"Now, if anyone withdraws, they can leave on their own."
There was silence in the hall.
A strong man at the peak of the gods leads the team?
Put yourself in danger, risk your life, and end up handing over half of your income?
Are you talking now?
I know there are no good things so cheap!
Domineering, arrogant!
The practitioners remained calm on the surface, but in their hearts they had already greeted the eighteenth generation of Emperor Shang Yu's ancestors.
Although they are dissatisfied, who dares to leave at this juncture?
Cang Xiaotian stood silently.
With so many people who were being taken advantage of not speaking up, he would not be stupid enough to stand up and object.
"good!"
Of course, Emperor Shang Yu had already expected that no one would dare to withdraw. He waved his hand, and three powerful gods at the peak of their powers appeared in the hall.
There are four levels in the realm of gods: Beginner level of gods, Intermediate level of gods, High level of gods and Peak gods.
There is a huge difference in strength between each level.
Just like when Duanmu Yun kidnapped Hu Meng'er, Hu Qiao, who had reached the first level of spiritual perfection, was as vulnerable as an ant to the powerful high-level spiritual being.
Above the peak of the gods is the realm of the divine king.
Similarly, in front of the powerful gods at the peak, all the high-level gods in the hall were basically crushed.
As soon as the three peak gods appeared, Cang Xiaotian and others couldn't help but look over.
Two men and one woman.
The woman looks like a middle-aged woman, and the other two are a middle-aged man and an old man in his sixties.
"Each team has ten people, you choose yourselves!"
The middle-aged man spoke.
How to choose this?
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
But, you have to choose!
After a brief hesitation, some practitioners began to step forward, choosing to follow the peak of the gods.
Cang Xiaotian was about to ask Master Mo for his opinion, but felt his sleeve being pulled by someone. He turned around and saw that it was Master Mo.
Master Mo indicated with his eyes.
The two of them went straight to the sixty-year-old old man.
