Talisman Emperor
Chapter 302 The City of a Thousand Lakes
"Nine of these Horned Darkwyrmas were primordial variants, and only one of them possessed strength that could compare to a Golden Core Realm cultivator. Now, these nine wyrms were actually pulling a carriage for someone! ”
"Only a figure like the Fourth Young Master of the Zhou Clan possessed such a precious chariot. He was a rare talent from the Zhou Clan of Silken City who was an expert in the perfection stage of the Golden Core Realm! ”
"Yes. I had heard that when Young Master Zhou was just born, he had an incredible natural talent and possessed an incredible intelligence to the point of being able to speak. The Patriarch of the Zhou Clan wanted to give him a good name, but was rejected by him, and he swore that he was not worthy of a name until he became immortal! "
“What solution! No wonder everyone called him the Fourth Young Master of the Zhou Clan. So it turns out it was because of this. ”
The Nine Precious Dragon Train moved through the clouds, and everyone revealed shocked expressions wherever it passed. The people present only dared to discuss in a low voice after the carriage disappeared within their field of vision.
“Currently, Young Master Zhou is a leading figure in Silken City. Supposedly, even the current Emperor Chu was full of praise towards his natural talent. I really don't know how numbers like this develop in such a way. '' Wei Feng's eyes revealed an envious expression.
"Yes. The strength of Young Master Zhou was a great mystery, and it could only be described as unfathomable. '' Zhong Liao spoke with deep emotion.
Chen Xi heard all of this, and she endlessly gasped with admiration in her heart. I really didn't know any of this before I came here, but I was very surprised when I did. There are always stronger experts than ever. No one could guess exactly how many outstanding geniuses and experts who looked down on the world existed.
For example, if before, he had not heard the names of the Fourth Young Master of the Zhou Clan, Huangfu Changtian, Zhao Qinghe, and the others at all. It was not that they were not famous, but it was because the environment he lived in was too small, causing his knowledge to be too shallow, and he was completely unable to make contact with this information.
This feeling was like the feeling of being a frog at the bottom of a well, unless one went wandering the world, one would never know how big this world was.
"Let's go . We are not far from Azure County City, " Chen Xi said indifferently. He was not a person who would look down on himself and would not let the state of his heart be disturbed due to some incident.
————
The city of Azure County stood behind the Swallowray Mountains, the land was fertile, had thick earthen veins, and occupied an area of several tens of thousands of kilometers. Within the city were more than 1,000 lakes of various sizes scattered throughout the city, and it was called the city of a thousand lakes because of this.
Since the location of Azure County City was rather convenient, connected to the southern region and the eastern sea neighbors, the number of merchants rising and descending from the city was countless like a school carps moving through a river. The trade here was extremely prosperous, and it was a famous trading city in the central plains.
As Chen Xi followed Wei Feng and Zhong Liao to arrive at the Azure County City, he saw many glittering lakes filling the city. The larger lakes cover an area of nearly 5,000 km, and the smaller ones measure several hundred km, causing the entire city to be wrapped around a misty layer of water vapor and appear vaguely like heaven.
The first feeling that Chen Xi had when she stepped into this city was that the city was calm and beautiful, and as if it was covered by misty rain. The entire city had a beautiful scene with a torrential flow, and it looked beautiful and otherworldly, causing it to have a calm feeling springing up spontaneously from his heart as he walked within the city.
The streets here were winding and spread out with limestone planks that exuded an old, yet somewhat spacious feeling, and while the flow of people moved through the streets, it did not feel the slightest bit claustrophobic.
Quiet, beautiful, and prosperous. This was what Chen Xi felt at this moment.
Ever since they arrived here, Chen Xi had not troubled Wei Feng and Zhong Liao anymore, and she let the two of them off, instead, instead, he brought Mu Kui to start looking around inside the city.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Many cultivators stood in a line of light and flew in the sky that was rolled with misty rain while their clothes fluttered in the wind, causing them to appear like immortal beings. On the ground, there were instead farmers from all over who were relaxed and unhurriedly moving, either choosing treasures from the stalls or going into the stores to buy treasures.
As expected of the famous trading city in the central plains that had gathered groups of merchants from anywhere in the entire Darchu Dynasty. This place naturally became a treasure buying paradise in the hearts of cultivators. As he walked the streets and saw the cultivators moving up and down, Chen Xi sighed endlessly with emotion in his heart.
"Let's go! The Goldlake meeting will begin tomorrow at Jadering Lake in the city center. It will definitely be very crowded by then, so let's go occupy first place. ”
“Not necessary, right? Jadering Lake was several thousand km in area, there were 18 battle rings built in the lake, and it was enough to accommodate several tens of thousands of spectators. What's the point of going this early? ”
“Idiot! If we occupy a good place, then we will be able to carefully observe the battle in the battle ring. You should know that the experts participating in the Goldlake Gathering are all at the Golden Core Realm. If we could figure out some things from their fight, then it would be better than cultivating in seclusion for a few years. ”
Along the way, the discussion regarding the Goldlake Meeting filled Chen Xi's ears, and it was very understandable. After all, the Goldlake Meeting was only held once every 100 years, and it involved the participation of the Gold Core Realm cultivators within the younger generation of the central plains, the northern barbarians, the eastern sea, and the southern region. It was inevitable that such a big event would be crowded.
Soon, Chen Xi brought Mu Kui to walk into a large, beautifully decorated building.
When Chen Xi and Mu Kui entered, long queues were already lined up within the hall, and people numbered at least over a thousand. There were very young males and females, and they were waiting to have skeletal age and cultivation measured. Since the Goldlake Meeting was only open to Golden Core Realm cultivators under the age of 30, those who did not meet the requirements were forbidden to participate.
All of this caused Chen Xi to recall the scene when he participated in the Hidden Dragon Rank. But it was in Dragon Lake City at that time, and participation was limited only to cultivators from the southern region who were in the Violet Palace Realm, whereas, it was in the current Azure County City, at the moment, and it was a competition that gathered young Golden Core Realm cultivators from all over the Darchu Dynasty. No matter if it was in terms of scale, level, or coverage, there was no comparison between the two.
"Sir, I won't participate, will I?" Mu Kui said through voice transmission as they lined up.
"That's not gonna work. Not only do you have to participate in the Goldlake Meeting, you even have to participate in the Allstar Meeting. On the one hand, you could weaken your strength, and on the other, what would you do if I were lucky to enter the Ancient Battlefield? ”Chen Xi shook his head.
"Enter into the Ancient Battlefield?" Mu Kui was a little dazed, and said in frustration, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to rank in the top 10 in the Allstar Meeting with my current strength. ”
"How do you know if you don't try?" Chen Xi smiled. Actually, he was always worried about this. After all, only the person who had obtained the top 10 rankings in the Allstar Meeting would have the qualifications to enter the Primeval Battlefield, and if Mu Kui was unable to reach the requirements, it would be impossible for him to enter the Primeval Battlefield, he probably wouldn't be able to follow Chen Xi.
However, he still had a path in his heart, and that was trying to place Mu Kui in the Buddha Pagoda. If Mu Kui could get away with it like this, then it couldn't be better.
Of course, all of this was just something uncertain. Who knew if something unexpected would happen at that moment? So he can't talk too fast.
"Alright, I will try my best this time and try to follow in the footsteps of Master!" Mu Kui tightly clenched his fists in secret. In his heart, being able to follow Chen Xi's side was already a motivation to support him in doing anything.
But right after, he was frustrated once more, and he said with a pouting face, "But, I'm already over 30, and I've been cultivating for over 200 years now …"
Chen Xi was stunned as well and frowned nonstop. He forgot that no matter if it was the Goldlake Meeting or the Allstar Meeting, both of them required a measurement of one's skeletal age.
“It's okay, you don't have to participate. If I really have the chance to enter the Ancient Battlefield, I will try my best to take you with me. '' Chen Xi could only helplessly accept this fact.
"Thank you sir . Then I'll wait for you outside. "After Mu Kui finished speaking, he turned around and left the Goldlake Hall.
"Listen, it's someone else who wants to try to get in. Fortunately, he knew his own limitations and went unnoticed. Otherwise, he would definitely be locked in the Darchu Soulguard prison. "A mocking laugh from the group of people lined up when he saw Mu Kui leaving all of a sudden.
Chen Xi frowned and looked up. He saw that person had a monstrous appearance, was thin like bamboo, had a trace of contempt at the corner of his mouth, and had a sarcastic expression.
"Shut up! Will you die if you remain silent for a while? ”A young man dressed in white next to a wrinkled object and scolded the young man.
"Alright, Senior Brother Su Chan. Since we're out, I'll obey everything you say, okay? ”The skinny young man pursed his lips as he turned around in annoyance, and he seemed to be somewhat afraid of the white-clothed young man.
Like!
Chen Xi's eyes narrowed, and he recognized with a glance that the white-clothed young man beside the skinny young man was the Su Clan's eldest son from Dragon Lake City, Su Jiao's brother, Su Chan!
Right now, the entire Dragon Lake City Su Clan had already been completely wiped out, yet as a disciple of Ancestor Wanderingcloud Sword Sect Ling Du, Su Chan was not in the Su Clan on the day of his annihilation, either, and he was in the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect instead, so he escaped death.
Then, when Chen Xi wanted to deal with him, Su Chan disappeared without a trace, causing Chen Xi to feel somewhat regret in her heart because she knew that when one did not pluck the weeds from its roots, it was not, there will be no end to the problems in the future.
But as time passed, Su Chan seemed to have disappeared into the air, and not a single bit of information about him was scattered. Unknowingly, Chen Xi had almost forgotten the existence of this person, yet she had never imagined that as luck would have it, she had actually met this person here!
Su Chan, oh, Su Chan. Heaven wants you dead in my hands, and you can only blame your luck for being too horrible .. But this place is the hall of Darchu Soulguard, so I cannot attack and kill him. He seemed to want to participate in the Goldlake Meeting, so I could take the time to make a move against him. Thoughts surged in Chen Xi's heart, and she quickly calmed her feelings as she hid among the crowd to avoid being noticed by Su Chan and reminded him.
Before long, Su Chan had already finished registering and left slowly with the skinny young man. Along the way, he was completely unaware that his 'old acquaintance' was among the crowd.
Not too long later, Chen Xi passed the skeletal age measurement and cultivation as well, and he paid 1,000 newborn Condensation Pills before obtaining the gold-colored command token. He was already able to participate in the Goldlake Meeting by relying on this command token.
After placing the command token into the Buddhist Pagoda, Chen Xi did not hesitate in the slightest to walk out of the hall and leave with Mu Kui. "Let's go . We will first look for lodging to stay. As soon as dawn arrives tomorrow, we will witness the greatness of the Goldlake Meeting. Now that I'm talking about it, I've felt a little impatient … "
