Ji Tianxing spent a day walking around the ancient Xiongcheng.
In the process, he not only observed the terrain pattern and customs of the entire city, but also learned a lot of information.
Before coming to Shenwu Continent, he learned thousands of Shenwu Continent characters from the palace master's ancient book and could speak some simple common languages.
Now he is in this city, looking at the writings everywhere in the city and listening to the conversations of the people. In contrast, his learning progress is faster.
According to his understanding, this ancient majestic city is called Tianyun City.
Tianyun City has a history of more than a thousand years, covers an area of more than 200 miles, and is home to more than 3 million people.
This is the imperial city of the Izumo Empire and the territory ruled by Taihao Martial God!
When Ji Tianxing learned the news, he was stunned for a moment, with a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
"Jiujiu seems to be from Taihao Divine Kingdom. She worships and awes Taihao Martial God very much.
Unexpectedly, I accidentally landed in the territory of Taihao Divine Kingdom..."
When this thought flashed through his mind, he thought of another question, "I originally thought that Taihao Divine Kingdom was a kingdom, but I didn't expect that it was not the case.
The Taihao Divine Kingdom actually rules six empires, and the Izumo Empire is one of them."
After investigation, he found out that the empires under the rule of Taihao Divine Kingdom were different from those kingdoms in Tianxuan Continent.
Every empire has a vast territory and endless people and subjects.
On this continent shrouded in divine light, the aura of heaven and earth is extremely rich, and the martial arts civilization is very prosperous and has almost reached its peak.
Just like this Tianyun City, the people who grew up here are almost all warriors who have been practicing since childhood.
The common people walking in the streets and alleys, as well as the vendors shouting and selling, are all warriors with considerable strength.
Ji Tianxing walked around the city and found that most people had the strength of Tongxuan Realm and Yuandan Realm.
Tianyuan realm warriors can only be regarded as good masters here, and can serve as city guards guarding the city, or as guards for wealthy families.
There are not many warriors in the Soul Refining Realm. Only those in the Yuanshen Realm can be called strong.
Ji Tianxing even sensed that there were dozens of obscure and powerful auras in the city, far exceeding the Yuanshen realm.
In addition to this information, he also noticed something.
Dark golden imperial lists were posted on the squares in the city and on the archways of several streets.
The imperial list is filled with Shenwu Continental characters. It is the personal edict of Emperor Izumo, and it seems to announce an extremely solemn event.
Many people gathered around the imperial list to watch. They gathered in small groups and talked about it.
Ji Tianxing passed by a street and walked under a tall stone monument. When he saw countless people surrounding the stone monument, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
From the people's discussions, he heard words such as 'divine disciple', 'dabi', 'genius' and 'selection'.
These words immediately aroused his interest. He stopped and walked through the crowded crowd towards the foot of the stone monument.
When he arrived at the foot of the stone tablet, he raised his head and stared at the dark gold imperial list, carefully identifying the words on it.
It took him a hundred breaths of time to identify the more than two hundred words and basically understood the meaning of those words.
It turns out that the Izumo Empire has been conducting a selection of divine disciples for the past two months to select the most outstanding disciples for the great sage Taihao Martial God.
The selection of divine disciples is only held every twenty years and is one of the most solemn ceremonies in the Kingdom of Taihao.
Any warrior between the ages of twenty and eighty who has reached the sixth level of Soul Refining Realm or above is eligible to participate in the selection.
At the beginning, the Izumo Empire had more than 200 cities under its jurisdiction for the first round of selection.
Thousands of winning young warriors came to the imperial city of Tianyun City for the second round of selection and competition.
After the competition in the past few days, thousands of warriors were eliminated, and only fifteen young geniuses stood out and won the victory.
The names of these fifteen talented men were written on the imperial list, and they were envied and praised by the people in the city.
They will represent the Izumo Empire and go to the sacred Haotian Tower to participate in the final selection of the divine disciples.
If anyone can become a divine disciple, it will be a supreme honor. He will be bathed in the divine light of Taihao Martial God, rise to great heights, and his future in martial arts is limitless!
Even if you cannot become a disciple of God, you can still become a servant of God in the Kingdom of God. Your status will be far higher than that of ordinary dignitaries, and you will be very distinguished!
All in all, the fifteen geniuses on the imperial list will become famous figures everywhere.
However, three days later, the fifteen geniuses on the imperial list will have a final battle.
They will hold a ranking battle in the city square to determine their respective strength rankings.
Obviously, whoever is stronger will be able to achieve a higher ranking, receive more generous treatment, and have a greater reputation.
After reading the news on the imperial list, Ji Tianxing silently withdrew from the crowd and stood in the corner thinking.
"Sure enough, it is about the selection of divine disciples! Jiujiu mentioned this to me at the beginning. When she was rushing to Haotian Tower, she accidentally bumped into the Xuanfei Gate and met me.
Unexpectedly, ten months have passed and the selection of divine disciples is coming to an end. The Izumo Empire has already selected fifteen geniuses..."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.
"The selection of divine disciples is a grand ceremony that takes place every twenty years. Previously, the palace master brought Yunyao to Shenwu Continent and gave him a one-year deadline.
Looking back now, when the Palace Master sent Yunyao to Shenwu Continent, it seemed that it was just three months ago when the selection of the divine disciples was about to begin.
Could it be that the Palace Master's rush to send Yun Yao here has something to do with the selection of divine disciples?
Is Yun Yao also in the Taihao Divine Kingdom? Is the mysterious strong man that the Palace Master works for the Taihao Martial God?"
Although these are all his conjectures, there is not much basis for them.
But after weighing it for a while, he finally felt that it was possible.
"Anyway, I just arrived in the Shenwu Continent, and I have nowhere to stay and gain a foothold, and I don't understand the situation on this continent.
Even if I want to look for Yaoyao, I don't know where to start.
In this case, I will take the opportunity of this divine disciple selection to find a way to enter Haotian Tower!
I have to investigate clearly to see if Yaoyao is there... Even if I can't find Yaoyao, I can still go to Jiujiu for help.
In this continent, I only know Jiujiu, and I am considered a friend with her.
She seems to be from a wealthy family, if she is willing to help me find Yaoyao, it will definitely save a lot of trouble and time."
Thinking of this, Ji Tianxing made up his mind to find a way to get to Haotian Tower starting from the ranking battle in three days.
Of course, what he has to do now is to find out the relevant information about the ranking battle and investigate the identity and strength information of the fifteen geniuses.
Only by making decisions before taking action can you be more confident.
