The core hinterland of Millions of Southern Xinjiang, where eight major sects, three universities, and six major clans gather. Any one of these forces has a profound foundation and is extremely ancient.
A city can accommodate so many behemoths. You can imagine how large it is and how astonishing its prosperity is.
As soon as Chen Xifu entered the city gate, he saw that the bricks and stones on the road were all bright and smooth, spotless. There were splendid palaces and pavilions everywhere, and the streets were hundreds of feet wide. All kinds of monks were walking on the streets extending in all directions like a tide.
A crowded feeling.
In this Longyuan City, every shop is tall, wide, deep, and has completely different styles. It is like all the architectural styles in the world have been gathered into one place. The dazzling array, majestic and majestic, actually made Chen Xi feel dizzy.
There are many experts here!
Chen Xi's spiritual soul was so huge. Along the way, he discovered dozens of Huangting realm monks. They were wearing various clothes and embroidered with different emblems. They were obviously from different forces.
Moreover, Chen Xi also saw several Liangyi Jindan monks passing by on the street hand in hand. Their long sleeves were fluttering and their figures were elegant. Wherever they passed, everyone showed admiration and respect.
In Longyuan City, the Liangyi Golden Core cultivators are already among the top figures. Unlike Songyan City, the highest level is the Zifu realm, which is not even as good as the Huangting cultivators, let alone comparable to the Liangyi Golden Core cultivators.
After walking for a long time, Chen Xi thought about it and suddenly stopped a monk who was passing by.
"how!"
This monk is a stout young man. His cultivation has not yet opened up the Purple Mansion and is still in the innate realm. However, there is a Heart Sword emblem hanging on his clothes. He is obviously a disciple of a certain big force. When Chen Xi reached out to stop him, his face suddenly changed.
He showed a bit of anger, but once he saw Chen Xi's cultivation level, he restrained his anger.
Because he could see that the young man in front of him seemed to have an indifferent aura, but he gave people the feeling of being as vast and deep as the sea. He was at least a master of the Purple Mansion Realm.
"I wonder why Senior stopped me?" the stout young man asked doubtfully.
"Nothing else, I just want to ask, where can I sign up for the Qianlong Ranking Competition?" Chen Xi said with a smile.
"So it's this." The stout young man breathed a sigh of relief: "The Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition will start in half a month. If seniors want to sign up, just go to Chu Soul Guard. It's just west of Longyuan City, eight hundred miles away.
land."
"Okay! Thank you very much." As Chen Xi spoke, his figure moved slightly and disappeared like the wind.
"What a speed!"
Seeing Chen Xi disappearing in an instant, the stout young man shrank his pupils and murmured: "The Qianlong Ranking Competition only allows Zifu monks under the age of thirty to participate. This young man looks like he is only about twenty years old, and his cultivation level is
It’s really amazing! I don’t know if this person can get a ranking in this year’s Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition..."
Flying in the air is prohibited in Longyuan City, but Chen Xi used the Eight Steps of the Heavenly Dragon, which was tens of feet per step. He was as fast as a ghost, flying over eight hundred miles, and suddenly stopped.
A hundred feet away in front of him, a huge black palace was entrenched. It was all made of obsidian and glowed like water. It was nearly ten thousand feet tall, like a sword or a spear, reaching straight into the sky. In the center, there was a hanging
Golden plaque—Chu Soul Guard!
Chu Soul Guards, the cultivator organization under the Great Chu Dynasty, in terms of terrifying strength, is also famous throughout the territory of the Great Chu Dynasty. Every Chu Soul Guard has at least the strength of the Zifu realm!
Of course, Longyuan City is only a branch of the Chu Soul Guard, but even so, its power is still extremely powerful. Compared with the big powers such as the eight major sects, it does not give in at all. And because it represents the Great Chu Dynasty, it is invisibly
There is an additional kind of supreme authority, which is more than a hundred times and a thousand times stronger than the General's Mansion in Songyan City.
Although this time the Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition is jointly organized by the eight major sects, three universities, and six major clans in Longyuan City, foreign monks who want to participate must register with the Chu Soul Guard.
At this moment, a large number of monks were coming in and out, like running water. Chen Xi saw at a glance that these monks were almost all Zifu monks!
"Damn it, you have to pay hundreds of kilograms of spiritual liquid to sign up. This Chu Hunwei really fell into the eyes of money."
"Hey, we are not disciples of the big forces in Longyuan City. You don't have to sign up at all. You can participate if you want. There is also a home field advantage. It is not easy for foreign monks like us to participate."
"Bah! What's so great about the disciples of Longyuan City's powerful forces? I will definitely enter the top 100 in this Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition!"
"Excuse me, in previous years' Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition, 99% of the top 100 were dominated by big forces such as the eight major sects of Longyuan. Only a few foreign monks participated, and they were all ranked at the bottom.
.”
…
The monks who walked out of the black hall were talking a lot, and the topics all revolved around the Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition that was going to be held in half a month, which seemed extremely lively.
"Is it difficult to enter the top 100? It seems that I can't be careless." Chen Xi thought for a moment, no longer hesitated, and walked in.
As soon as he entered the black hall, Chen Xi discovered that the space inside was very vast, with a solemn atmosphere, as if he had entered the palace hall, and the atmosphere seemed extremely quiet.
Disciples wearing Xuanyi and carrying long swords stood solemnly around the hall, with sinister brows and powerful auras, maintaining the order in the hall. Obviously, these disciples in Xuanyi are members of the Chu Soul Guard.
"Prepare a hundred kilograms of spiritual liquid, go over there and line up to sign up." Seeing Chen Xi coming in, a Chu Soul Guard pointed towards the distance and said coldly.
In the distance, there was a long queue queuing up. There were young people, old men, middle-aged men, beautiful women...men and women, young and old, all of whom were monks from the Purple Mansion.
Chen Xi walked behind the team and silently looked around. Among the monks from the Purple Mansion who were queuing up, their auras were very strong. There were two of them whose auras were so powerful that Chen Xi was also surprised.
One is a young man wearing purple and gold clothes. His eyebrows are as black as ink and flying like knives. His eyes are shining like two bright black gems, which is breathtaking. His arms are very long, three or four inches longer than normal people.
Left and right, toward that battle, boundless pressure filled the surroundings, and the aura was thick and domineering.
The other is a young man wearing a feathered coat. He has a straight and thin figure. He exudes a gentle and feminine aura, which is as gentle as water. He is extremely unique, but his face is extremely ordinary. He is so ordinary that he cannot be found in the embarrassing crowd.
Seemingly noticing Chen Xi's gaze, the young man in purple glanced at Chen Xi with a look that seemed mocking and disdainful. However, the young man in feathers nodded slightly and turned around.
"Lin Shaoqi, with an eight-star cultivation level in Zifu and a bone age of twenty-three years, is qualified. This is your token."
A hoarse voice sounded. In front of the team, there was an old man in gray sitting in front of a piece of paper. On the paper was placed a jade stone the size of a fist. The whole body was dark and filled with black light.
Each monk stepped forward and pressed his palms on the jade. The old man in gray could tell his cultivation level and bone age with a little discrimination. It was extremely miraculous.
Appearances can be deceiving, but bone age is real. The Qianlong Ranking Competition only allows Zifu monks under the age of thirty to participate. With this jade, no one will be fooled into passing.
The one being tested at this moment was the young man in purple who caught Chen Xi's attention.
"The Eight Stars of the Purple Mansion? Twenty-three years old? He is simply a genius!"
"This guy's future is destined to be limitless. In this Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition, he will definitely have a place in the top 100."
"Tsk, Lin Shaoqi, could he be that genius from the Lin family in Lanhai City who is rare for thousands of years?"
Hearing what the old man in gray reported, the entire line, which was nearly a hundred feet long, exclaimed one after another. They looked at the young man in purple with envy, jealousy, and extremely complex looks.
"Eight Stars of the Purple Mansion? You do have the capital to be proud of." Chen Xi nodded, and had to sigh in his heart. Longyuan City is indeed the largest city in Southern Xinjiang, with hidden dragons and tigers, and a gathering of talents.
These are just foreign monks. Among the disciples of the eight major sects and other major powers, there may be others who are more talented than Lin Shaoqi.
At this moment, Chen Xi suddenly felt a unique aura. He looked up suddenly and saw the young man in feathers stepping forward, spraying out a stream of watery air from his palm, and pressing it towards the jade stone on the document.
.
Witch power!
Chen Xi recognized it almost at a glance. What was spurting out from the young man's palm was the witchcraft power that only monks above the Purple Mansion of Divine Demon Refining Body had.
"Tang Xu, eh? Third level cultivation of the Body Refining Purple Mansion? Bone age is nineteen, qualified. This is your token." The old man in gray clothes behind the document also let out a cry of surprise, and his eyelids that had been lowered suddenly raised, and he was completely naked.
Si Sa, looked at the boy in feathers, nodded and said: "Yes, if you are interested, you are welcome to join the Chu Soul Guard."
Uproar!
Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at the young man in feathers with shock in their eyes. At the level of the Purple Mansion of Body Refining, that was a terrifying existence that could crush all Qi Refining currents at the same level!
Even Lin Shaoqi, who was about to walk out of the hall, stopped suddenly and looked back at the young man in feathers, with a slightly solemn look on his face.
"Third level of Zifu? He is even higher than me. I wonder if this person has cultivated magical powers..." Chen Xi looked thoughtful in his eyes.
In subsequent tests, there were no more surprising characters.
When it was Chen Xi's turn, he stepped forward slowly, took a deep breath, and pressed his right palm on the jade stone. This jade stone was very strange. When the real energy poured into it, it disappeared like a mud cow entering the sea. There was nothing else to feel.
"Chen Xi, six-star Zifu, bone age...seventeen? Not bad, not bad, qualified. This is your token."
The old man in gray clothes took out a palm-sized token that looked like gold but not gold, and handed it to Chen Xi. He gave him a rare compliment, but did not raise his eyes to look at him, nor did he invite him to join the Chu Soul Guard.
Obviously, compared to the previous Tang Xu who reached the third level of body refining at the age of nineteen, Chen Xi's weight is still a bit insufficient.
But even so, Chen Xi advanced to the sixth-star level of Zifu at the age of seventeen, which still caused a series of exclamations from behind the team. When he turned his head, he saw a series of envious and jealous glances.
"What would their expression be like if they knew that I was also a cultivator? Then the old man in gray would probably also invite himself to join the Chu Soul Guard, right?"
Chen Xi shook his head to dispel this childish thought in his mind, took the token with the word "Qianlong" written on it, and walked towards the outside of the hall.
"There is still half a month left, and the Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition will be held. It seems that we should take advantage of this period to recharge our batteries." Chen Xi thought in his heart as he walked.
"Chen Xi, how brave are you to not notify us when you come to Longyuan City? It's so embarrassing!"
Just as Chen Xi walked out of the Chu Soul Guard Hall, a strange scream came from afar. When he looked up, he saw Duanmu Ze, Song Lin, and Du Qingxi standing there in the distance.
