Three days later, in the afternoon, Xiao Chen finally arrived at the Imperial Continent west of the Central Plains. The Imperial Continent was passed down from ancient times. It used to be the location of the Imperial Palace. It was destroyed several times due to the calamity of war. Later, it was rebuilt several times. It wasn’t until the Immortal-Devil Era more than 3,000 years ago that the Imperial Continent completely abandoned the imperial system and changed the Imperial Palace in the eastern part of the city into the City Lord’s Mansion.

It was precisely because of this that the Imperial Continent was now also known as the Imperial Continent City. However, to this day, there was still a hundred zhang tall stone statue standing in the middle of the city. It was rumored that it was an ancient emperor who had established the Imperial Continent in the past.

The entire Imperial Continent was vast and boundless. There were moats on all sides. There were more than 13,000 defensive sword formations in the city. If these 13,000 sword formations were activated at the same time, even experts at the Cave Ruins Realm might not be able to break through. They were far from the Jiangzhou City that Xiao Chen had passed through before.

Such a large ancient imperial city was almost equivalent to half a small cultivation country in the Eastern Continent. However, the Emperor Continent had long since abandoned the imperial system. There were only generations of city lords. The name of this generation’s city lord was Jiang Yutian, and he had already reached the Divine Transformation stage.

At this moment, in the Dongcheng District’s City Lord’s Mansion, there were carved fences and jade walls everywhere. The buildings were rather magnificent. The City Lord’s Mansion of the Imperial Continent naturally had some shadows of the imperial palace of the past.

At this moment, the entire hall was golden and resplendent. Above the hall was a white-haired middle-aged man dressed in a red robe. There were maids standing on both sides, silent. As for the hall below, there were dozens of people standing on both sides. At this moment, they lowered their heads and remained silent.

The white-haired middle-aged man at the head of the hall also frowned. His face was filled with worry. This person was none other than the city lord of the Imperial Continent, Jiang Yutian.

After a long time, a white-haired old man dressed in Zi Yi stood up from the left hall and said, “Tai Shi Dao Sect has not only borrowed the city center to open the Sword Discussion, but also needs our help to capture Xiao Yichen. If Xiao Yichen really comes in three days, what should we do in the eyes of the City Lord?”

“How do I know!”

Jiang Yutian waved his sleeves and his face was filled with displeasure. He stood up from his chair and looked at the people below. He pointed to the outside of the hall and said, “Don’t you know who Xiao Yichen is? His master is one of the Seven Martial Saints of Xuan Qing, Fairy Miaoyin. His master is the Sect Master of Xuan Qing, Adept Qingxuan. Who dares to provoke him? Do you dare to go?”

Hearing this, the people on both sides of the hall lowered their heads and remained silent. Back then, even the Heavenly Gate could not take this person down, and they were even more afraid of him. How could they dare to provoke such a person?

“Humph!”

Jiang Yutian waved his sleeves and sat back down. No wonder he was so unhappy these days. He thought that the Imperial Continent would be far away from the bustling land in the Immortal Origin Middle Land and would be able to escape from the disturbances in the world. Whether it was the Demons or the Emperors, it had nothing to do with the Imperial Continent. Who would have thought that Tai Shi Dao Sect would come and drag them into this bottomless whirlpool?

Jiang Yutian really didn’t want to bring the Imperial Continent into the open and secret battles between the various sects of the Immortal Origin Five Regions, but at this moment, he was truly in a dilemma. He wasn’t willing to offend Tai Shi Dao Sect, nor was he willing to provoke Xiao Chen.

However, over the past few days, many cultivators had already arrived in the Imperial Continent. There were people from various sects and sects in the Immortal Origin Five Regions, as well as loose people traveling in all directions. All of them had come for the “Sword Discourse Conference” that Tai Shi Dao Sect had set up last month.

The hall fell into silence again. After a while, the old man from Zi Yi said, “Since this matter has already exceeded our control, why don’t we go invite the four Grand Elders?”

“Four Grand Elders …”

Jiang Yutian slightly focused. The cultivation of the four Grand Elders was unfathomable and far above his. However, it was difficult to deal with them at this moment. He said, “The four Grand Elders have not emerged for a hundred years. They are meditating on the mystery of longevity. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate to disturb them at this moment.”

Cultivators who comprehended the mysteries of longevity were most likely comprehending the Immortal Ascension. However, it was already harder for mortals to cultivate than ascend to the heavens, so how could becoming an Immortal be so easy?

In the skies above the imperial city, The white clouds were faint, and floating islands could be seen in the middle. These islands that were hanging in the sky were all the defensive spirit formations of the Monarchy Continent. On top of the 10,000-mile-long clouds, it was already extremely cold. Ice crystals were condensed in the clouds, but deep within the clouds, there was a floating island. The island was full of flowers and grasses, as if it was like the Immortal Dawn Realm.

This place was invisible to mortals, and even more so to mortals. The pavilions on the island seemed to be faintly visible, just like the immortal palace’s jade palace. It was quite elegant.

At this moment, in a pavilion, there were four white-bearded elders sitting in the pavilion. The immortal energy emanating from the four of them was truly like the immortals in the sky.

They were the four Elder Tai of the Imperial Continent. Now that the Imperial Continent was able to stand in the midst of this chaotic Immortal Devil Era, how could there really be no experts guarding it?

However, the four Elder Tai had long been able to break through the mortal world and were only focused on becoming immortals. If they hadn’t encountered the life and death of the Imperial Continent, the four of them wouldn’t have gone down.

This time, the people from the Tai Shi Dao Sect came to the Imperial Continent. Although the four of them had stopped asking about the world, they were very clear about this matter in their hearts.

“This child … has come in.”

At this moment, an old man dressed in Qingyi suddenly opened his eyes. The other three also opened their eyes. The four of them looked at each other without saying a word. Clearly, the person Old man Qingyi was talking about was Xiao Chen.

Although the four of them didn’t care about the world, they knew who had come from the state.

After a while, Old man Qingyi said, “As long as he doesn’t turn the Imperial Continent upside down, let him go.”

Evidently, these words carried a sense of helplessness. The other three nodded their heads when they heard this. Even if their cultivation was as high as the four of them, it did not mean that there was no fear in this world for them. Just as Jiang Yutian had said, even if they were not afraid of Xiao Chen himself, they still had to fear Fairy Xuanqing Miaoyin a little.

At this moment, not long after Xiao Chen entered the city, he sensed a divine sense sweeping past him. His own divine sense was also very sharp, so he could naturally sense that the divine sense that flashed past him came from the clouds.

However, his divine sense was unable to penetrate the sky. It seemed to be blocked by a restriction. He stopped and looked up into the sky. The clouds were thin and there was no trace of an immortal. He thought to himself that the Emperor Continent was also a hidden dragon and crouching tiger. The owner of that divine sense just now, he believed that his cultivation base would definitely not be inferior to his.

Just as he was concentrating, a laughing voice suddenly sounded in front of him, “Young Master, do you want to stay? There are many people from the Imperial Continent these past two days. If we delay any longer, there won’t be any rooms left.”

Xiao Chen came back to his senses. He walked to the outside of a restaurant. A waiter from the restaurant was greeting him.
