Chapter 1369: Chapter 1306: Dragon City (Part 2)

During this time, Ye Guichen almost finished all the herbs and pills from the Treasure Pavilion of Spirit Beast Sect, pushing himself to the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment.

Besides that, Ye Guichen could now form a sword array with the Ten Sword Technique, its power more than ten times greater than before.

Even facing the soul of the Jiao Long again, Ye Guichen believed he could easily trap it with this sword array.

Ye Guichen’s Yimu Evergreen Technique and Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique also advanced one layer, and he even learned a new technique, the Green Thunder Technique.

The Green Thunder Technique is one of the Esoteric Sect’s 108 techniques, also divided into nine levels.

It is said that if one reaches the ninth level, a single move can easily kill an Immortal, with power absolutely comparable to the strongest strike of the Immortal Slayer Sword.

Of course, given Ye Guichen’s current cultivation, using the Green Thunder Technique is also effortless to kill those within the Foundation Establishment Realm.

However, the Green Thunder Technique consumes an immense amount of energy; once deployed, it cannot be used again within seven days.

It might even drain a person’s bloodline temporarily, which requires at least seven days to recover.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Ye Guichen knows this Green Thunder Technique can only be used for life preservation and not as a regular fighting move.

Moreover, Ye Guichen had not been idle for the past six months.

He constantly observed the four Jiao Long eggs, tried many methods to corrupt them, but none succeeded.

Ye Guichen also thought about refining the soul of the Jiao Long.

But the soul of the Jiao Long is extremely powerful; even though it’s imprisoned in the Jiuyou Tower, it remains defiant despite all torment.

Eventually, Ye Guichen decided to leave it be, chill for a while, and deal with it later.

With his strong means, Ye Guichen confidently believes that even without using the Green Thunder Technique, within the Foundation Establishment Realm, no one could defeat him in three exchanges.

Also, among the stolen items from Spirit Beast Sect, Ye Guichen found a book.

The book’s content is simple; it discusses the levels of cultivation.

According to the book, Foundation Establishment is only the starting point in the cultivation process.

Only after successfully establishing the foundation does one truly enter the ranks of cultivation.

Yet, after Foundation Establishment, there is still a long road ahead.

The stages following Foundation Establishment are Golden Core Realm, Nascent Soul Realm, Divinity Transformation Realm, Void Return Realm, Mahayana Realm.

After reaching Mahayana Realm, one can ascend to become an Immortal.

Moreover, according to the book, Immortals truly exist, but to them, anyone below Mahayana Realm is merely a Qi Refiner, akin to ants.

Therefore, they do not interact with ants at all.

There’s even a record in the book that demons after the hidden gate are each super demons above Divinity Transformation Realm.

Because, only after reaching Divinity Transformation Realm can demons transform into true evil people.

Having natural opposition to human cultivators.

Those possessing demon blood, half-human, half-demon, are seen as mongrels, unworthy in the eyes of both human cultivators and true demons.

"Below Immortals, all are ants..."

Seeing this sentence, Ye Guichen finally understood that even if he is a prodigy, in many people’s eyes, he is still akin to an ant.

"Haha, I, this little ant, want to stir the heavens and earth." Ye Guichen inexplicably yearned for Immortals, even expecting to meet those from Carefree Sword Immortal’s past.

Or perhaps questioning if Carefree Sword Immortal’s demise was due to his reasons or the actions of an enemy.

If Carefree Sword Immortal was truly killed, inheriting the mantle of Carefree Sword Immortal, Ye Guichen feels obligated to avenge him.

While these thoughts meandered through Ye Guichen’s mind, he laughed at himself.

Currently, he is only at the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment, still far from being a true Immortal, thinking about unrealistic things seems pointless.

Yet, this doesn’t deter Ye Guichen’s determination to visit the Holy Temple.

Ye Guichen even has a premonition that the Holy Temple might be related to the Immortal Realm.

And the Chaos Sea, which no one can cross, perhaps if truly crossed, on the other side would be the Immortal Dynasty?

"Haha, the world is vast, I am Ren Xiaoyao!" Ye Guichen feels an endless exhilaration in his heart, looking to the sky, a grand ambition within him, the future is promising.

Three days later, Ye Guichen arrived at Dragon City of the Daqian Dynasty’s Imperial City, accompanied by the Dragon Scale Wolf, named Wangcai, albeit reluctantly.

Like all secular metropolises, Dragon City appears immensely grand from afar.

The vast Dragon City spans well over thirty thousand kilometers.

It is surrounded by a magnificent mountain range.

The mountain range towers into the clouds, known as Immortal Guiding Mountain.

Immortal Guiding Mountain derives from the idea of the Immortal guiding, reportedly when the Daqian Dynasty was founded, an Immortal riding a giant dragon descended, guiding its establishment.

The Immortal threw a stone that transformed into the Immortal Guiding Mountain, and the dragon shed a scale, becoming the sprawling Dragon City.

Moreover, Dragon City is surrounded by the Black Water River at the front.

The river’s water is as black as ink, but non-toxic and harmless, encircling Dragon City along with Immortal Guiding Mountain.

It’s said to be an excellent feng shui site, backed by mountains and facing water.

With these two natural barriers, Dragon City is filled with masters, yet it doesn’t even have city walls.

Even so, Dragon City has stood for hundreds of years, never invaded by outsiders.

To enter Dragon City, one must first cross the Black Water River.

A Sky-reaching Bridge spans the Black Water River.

Its massive stone slabs are ten miles wide, resembling a road leading to the heavens.

The path is unguarded, without checks; anyone wishing to enter Dragon City need only walk across the Sky-reaching Bridge.

This also reflects Daqian Dynasty’s absolute confidence.

They fear no threat from anyone breaking into Dragon City.

Ye Guichen walked and observed, feeling like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden.

Since arriving at the hidden gate, Ye Guichen witnessed many things different from the secular world, but had never been to such a vast city.

Moreover, the constructions within this massive city broadened Ye Guichen’s horizon.

"Unexpectedly, Qin Muge is the prince of such a magnificent country; truly enviable." Ye Guichen stood on the Sky-reaching Bridge, able to see the vast palace within Dragon City from afar.

Descending the Sky-reaching Bridge is a massive stone stairway.

At the end of the stone stairway stands a palace like a masterpiece of nature.

The palace covers tens of kilometers, like a giant overlooking everything on earth, despising the ants coming and going.

And on both sides of the stone stairway is the commercial and residential area of the entire Dragon City.

The bustling degree here seems even more prosperous than the central area of Tianjing.

Arriving at Dragon City, various hawking voices were heard.

Here are shops selling ordinary goods and those selling items for cultivators.

The streets are extremely busy; the noise is nonstop, yet orderly, with many rare treasures but no robbery occurring.

It seems everyone here, whether ordinary people or cultivators, unconsciously bow their heads, quietly keeping to themselves.

"It seems Qin Muge’s father is quite the character!" The blend of bustling chaos with orderliness around made Ye Guichen marvel.

Achieving such a level shows the Emperor of Daqian Dynasty’s effective governance.

Ye Guichen didn’t immediately seek out Qin Muge, but planned to find a place to stay first, then explore Dragon City before meeting Qin Muge.

However, Ye Guichen felt it might not be easy to meet Qin Muge.

After all, he is a prince.

While Ye Guichen was searching for accommodation, a sudden cry sounded from the sky.

Everyone on the street subconsciously looked up towards the sky.
