The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 292

Chapter 292 On the Eve of the Grand Gathering

Very quickly, they returned to the city gate of Primeval Stone City. The size of the city could be considered magnificent. The city gates were several hundred feet tall, and the mottled city walls showed its long history.

This was a very famous city. Every year, when the first month came, countless martial artists would come here to comprehend the Primordial Stones, hoping to comprehend the secret arts of the Primordial Emperor.

There weren’t many days left before the Origin Stone Gathering, and there were more and more people. As soon as they arrived at the city gate, they saw a huge flow of people entering the city like a colony of black ants.

A group of tough soldiers dressed in heavy armor were collecting their entry fees at the city gate.

“Hurry, pay the money.”

“You want to go in even if you don’t have money? You’re courting death!” These valiant soldiers wielded machetes or axes, shouting and shouting from time to time.

Li Qing glanced over and couldn’t help but sigh at the strength of this city. Even the soldiers guarding the gate had the cultivation of Houtian 7th layer. There were over a hundred elite soldiers wearing heavy armor standing there. Ordinary people really couldn’t cause trouble.

“Normally, the soldiers guarding the gate are not at the seventh level of the Houtian realm. It is only at this time that the Origin Stone Gathering arrives and the flow of people increases explosively. That is why we have to send more men to guard the city gate. Otherwise, I’m afraid there will be trouble.” Wei Zhuo said with a smile.

“Young Master Wei Zhuo is back.” A soldier recognized him at the city gate.

“Hurry up and let Young Master Wei Zhuo enter the city.” The group of valiant soldiers clearly knew him, and they were extremely enthusiastic. They didn’t even have the money to pay for Wei Zhuo’s team and let Wei Zhuo in.

However, the old man still smiled and threw out some money, “Drink for the brothers.”

The soldier in the lead skillfully accepted it, his face smiling like a chrysanthemum, becoming even more enthusiastic.

After entering the city.

Wei Zhuo said enthusiastically, “Gentlemen, you don’t seem to have a place to stay here, do you? Why don’t you stay at my Wei Clan? I’m very familiar with this city. I’ll show you around later. Although this Primeval Stone City is big, there’s really no place I don’t know.”

“That’s right, gentlemen. Let’s stay at our Wei Clan. It’s more convenient.” The old man beside him also had a smile on his face.

How could such a powerful expert give up so easily? We must recruit them.

“No need, let’s split up here.” Li Qing said straightforwardly.

After all, he wouldn’t be staying here for long. Perhaps he would return immediately after comprehending the primeval stones. Li Qing didn’t want to be involved too deeply with the local clans here.

“Divide?” Wei Zhuo was stunned. He was a little unhappy. This guy named Li Qing had never shown any formidable strength. He might be an ordinary person, but he was quite arrogant.

He turned to look at Chang Wudi and asked, “What does Mr. Wudi think?”

“I’m with Li Qing, so I must have followed him.” Chang Wudi disdained it.

“This… Alright.” Wei Zhuo immediately lost his temper. He did not dare to put on a face in front of Chang Wudi. He could only helplessly say, “After the two of you enter the city, where do you intend to settle down? If you have time, I can go find you!”

“Which is the best inn in the city?” Li Qing asked.

“Yue Lai Inn.”

“Well, if you want to find us, go to the Yue Lai Inn.” Li Qing said.

“Alright!” Wei Zhuo nodded repeatedly, but in his heart, he thought to himself, “Who is looking for you? The person I am looking for is Chang Wudi!”

After bidding farewell, they separated and Li Qing and Chang Wudi quickly disappeared into the vast sea of people.

Wei Zhuo watched the two leave and coldly snorted, “I don’t know how to appreciate it.”

“Experts usually have this kind of personality.” The old man said excitedly, “This Chang Wudi is truly formidable. His strength is probably only inferior to the Patriarch’s, right?”

“Let’s go back.”

Wei Zhuo brought his guards home, and it took him nearly an hour to get home.

…

The Wei Clan was a medium-sized clan in Primeval Stone City. There were a few Xiantian experts guarding the clan, and their strength wasn’t weak.

Because of its own particularity, Yuanshi City has an extremely large population, occupies a vast area, and has countless family forces. It was evident that it was not easy for the Wei Clan to occupy a seat among them.

Within the Wei Clan’s mansion.

After listening to Wei Zhuo’s narrative, the Wei Clan’s Clan Master’s expression quickly became shocked. He said, “Killed Gu Yue Dao with a single hammer?”

“That’s right!”

“With my strength, killing Gu Yue Dao would probably take a lot of effort. I didn’t expect that he would be killed by someone with a hammer. This person must be a Xiantian 4th layer expert, and he is also the strongest person in the Xiantian 4th layer. Where is he?”

“After we entered the city, we separated. I didn’t agree to invite him to our house and was rejected by that guy named Li Qing. However, if you want to see them, you can go to the Yue Lai Inn.”

“Yes, that’s right. Let’s go to the Yue Lai Inn tomorrow and pay him a visit.”

…

After Li Qing and Chang Wudi entered the city, they first found the location of the Yue Lai Inn and stayed there.

Yue Lai Inn was indeed worthy of being the best inn in Yuanshi City. There was actually a small courtyard to rent. The environment was good. Neither of them was short of money, so they naturally rented two high-end courtyards to live in.

After a good bath and a good night’s sleep, the two of them immediately took on a new look. He found a time to wander around the city and get a clear understanding of the surroundings.

In the end, they arrived at the location of the Primeval Stone.

The Primeval Stone was located in the center of the city. It was a very large stone. It looked like a pebble. Its entire body was white, and its appearance was no different from an ordinary stone.

Normally, this place was open to the outside world. After all, it was not the first month, so there was no one guarding it. There was no need to be afraid that someone would take away the primeval stones. This was because the primeval stones were unshakable and firmly fixed there. No matter how powerful they were, they could not move a single bit. Clearly, there was a mysterious power guarding them.

There weren’t any buildings within a radius of several kilometers around the Primeval Stone. It was obvious that it was for the sake of making it easier for more people to observe and comprehend the Primeval Stone when the first month arrived.

Li Qing and Chang Wudi easily arrived in front of the Primeval Stone. The surface was smooth and without any patterns, so they couldn’t see anything special about it. He reached out his hand and gently stroked it, feeling a little rough.

‘”The people here have studied this stone for countless years and have already figured out all of its details. It seems that only in January will it show its miraculousness. No matter how we look at it now, we can’t see anything.” Li Qing said.

“Perhaps my Xiantian Dao Physique is unparalleled in the world, and it can attract this mysterious stone?” Chang Wudi was very conceited. She was indeed qualified to say such words. In terms of constitution alone, she was already at the highest level.

“Come on, you can’t even compare to me, and you’re unparalleled in the world.” Li Qing mercilessly attacked.

“Hmph, I’m still young and haven’t cultivated for a long time. I’ll definitely defeat you in a few years!” Chang Wudi waved his fist.

She placed her hand on the surface of the Primeval Stone and inputted a trace of True Essence, wanting to see if she could directly recognize the owner of the Primeval Stone or something like that. The result was naturally disappointing. This stone had stood there for countless years, and had been tested by countless people. If it was easily recognized as its owner, then it would be a joke.

“Look, another fool is trying to recognize the owner! Haha!” Someone saw this scene in the surroundings and laughed loudly.

Chang Wudi was furious. He took out his big hammer and wanted to launch an attack, but in the end, Li Qing firmly grabbed him to prevent any big trouble from happening. This fellow was lawless, and he might do something shocking.

When the surrounding people saw Chang Wudi’s explosive momentum, they were so frightened that they rolled and crawled away. Chang Wudi finally calmed down.

The two of them stayed around the Primeval Stone for a long time, but they didn’t find anything unusual, so they could only leave helplessly. In fact, it wasn’t just the two of them. Many people were also carefully searching for them. If they wanted to try their luck, they might be able to ascend to the heavens in one step. In the end, all of them had failed.

After returning to the Yue Lai Inn, he discovered that there was already a group of people waiting in front of the courtyard that the two of them rented. The one leading them was actually a Xiantian 4th layer expert.

Obviously, this was the Wei Clan’s Clan Master.

After a brief introduction, they quickly found out the identity of the other party. Li Qing was somewhat surprised. He didn’t expect that a medium-sized clan would have Xiantian 4-dan experts guarding it. The strength of this Primeval Stone City really couldn’t be underestimated.

One had to know that in Jiangyuan City, only City Lord Su was at the fourth level of the Xiantian realm!

Looks like the area around Jiangyuan City is really a remote place.

“May I know why you are here?” Li Qing asked.

“I came here to thank Mr. Chang Wudi for saving my life. If Mr. Chang Wudi were to make a move, I’m afraid my child would suffer a little.”

Chang Wudi casually waved his hand, “What’s there to make a fuss about killing an ant? That fellow actually dares to call me a bastard. Even if it wasn’t for that incident, I wouldn’t let him off.”

“Ants! What a big tone!” The Wei Clan’s Clan Head was shocked. It seemed that this fellow was even more powerful than he had imagined. He smiled and said, “I’m sure you two know that the Origin Stone Gathering is about to begin. Have you ever thought of going to the Origin Stone to comprehend it before?”

“Of course!” Li Qing said, “From what you have said, could it be that there are some conditions that you need to comprehend before you go to the Primeval Stone?”

“There are no conditions. Everyone can go and comprehend it.” The Wei Clan’s Clan Master said, “However, you should also know that there are so many martial artists in Yuan Shi City. I wonder how many people there are, but there is only one Yuan Shi. In such a crowded situation, we must arrange for order.”

“What will we do then?”

‘”At that time, the City Lord’s Mansion will divide the area where the Primeval Stones are located into the outer circle and the inner circle. Ordinary people can only comprehend in the outer circle. The distance between them is very far, so the effect will naturally be much worse. As for the inner circle, only special people can enter.”
