The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 306

Chapter 306 Arrive at the Holy City

After leaving Jiangyuan City, Chang Wudi said to Li Qing, “Don’t you have a treasure that can fly? Why don’t you take it out and use it?”

“So you actually have an idea for me, Yin Yang Yun!” Li Qing rolled his eyes and said, “Two people can’t fly!”

“Eh? Can’t the two of you fly? You clearly took me off earlier.” Chang Wudi revealed an expression of disbelief.

“The two of them can only fly for a short time, not for a long time.” Li Qing said.

“So that’s the case. I’m really disappointed. I’m afraid it’ll take me a long time to walk slowly.” Chang Wudi complained.

“That’s right. It takes a long time to walk. Why don’t I fly over first and wait for you in the Holy City?” Li Qing said with a faint smile.

“What? You want to fly alone and leave me here? I’ll hammer you to death!” Chang Wudi was furious and took out his hammer and smashed it down.

The two of them didn’t agree and began to fight again. Chang Wudi had not received Li Qing’s lesson for such a long time, and his skin was itching.

Of course, there was no suspense in the result. Now that the difference in strength between the two of them was getting bigger and bigger, Li Qing easily captured Chang Wudi and beat him up.

She can’t even run now.

Since they were unable to fly, the two of them could only walk to the Holy City. Fortunately, they were all Xiantian experts, and their speed wasn’t slow. This journey wasn’t difficult for them.

Along the way, they encountered many troubles, some robbers robbed, and some tyrannical demonic beasts blocking the way, but they were easily dealt with by the two of them.

With their strength, they could walk horizontally in the world. Although there were many experts in this world, how could these experts be so easy to encounter? These people usually cultivated for a long time and would not come out to wander around without any problems.

With Chang Wudi as a living treasure on the road, the two of them could be considered happy. They often quarreled and started to fight with each other.

Although Chang Wudi was somewhat unreliable, he knew quite a few secrets. Li Qing benefited greatly from their conversation on the road. According to what Chang Wudi said, these secrets were all told to her by her parents and even her master, so there shouldn’t be any lies.

“Speaking of which, what exactly is the origin of the Ancient God Pagoda?” Li Qing asked. Although he knew some basic information about the Ancient God Pagoda, he wasn’t very clear about its origin.

“The Ancient God Pagoda’s origins are very ancient. A long time ago, there was a special group in the Eastern Region called Ancient Gods Clan. They built the Ancient God Pagoda.” Chang Wudi said.

“Ancient Gods Clan? There’s actually such a race! I thought there was only one intelligent race like humans in the world.” Li Qing was very surprised.

“Ancient Gods Clan is actually a branch of humanity, but Ancient Gods Clan never treated himself as a human, and we humans don’t really treat them as human beings.” Chang Wudi said.

“Why?”

“If you’ve seen Ancient Gods Clan, you won’t be surprised. In terms of height alone, Ancient Gods Clan is about 30 feet taller on average.”

“Thirty zhang! Isn’t that the Giant Race! No wonder they don’t admit that they are humans!”

Chang Wudi said, “Ancient Gods Clan’s fleshly body is very tyrannical. This is also their advantage. However, they are naturally unable to cultivate zhenqi. They can only walk the path of body refinement. Now that so many years have passed, Ancient Gods Clan has long since perished, and the Ancient God Pagoda has fallen into the hands of us humans.”

“Why would an ancient god pagoda built by a long-extinct race appear so precious?” Li Qing was curious.

Chang Wudi said, “There was once a major power in Ancient Gods Clan. His name was Ancient God. It was this person who created Ancient Gods Clan and built the Ancient God Pagoda.”

Hearing this, Li Qing couldn’t help but be speechless, “How is it possible for a person to create a race? What kind of great existence is this ancient god?”

“I’m not sure about the origin of the ancient god. There aren’t many people in the world who know about it. It’s a top secret. Perhaps we can get the answer by entering the ancient god tower.”

…

After more than half a month of trekking and endless hardships, they finally arrived at the Holy City.

“So big!” Li Qing exclaimed.

He had seen many of the great cities in the world, and there were some extremely magnificent ones among them. However, this huge city in front of him still refreshed Li Qing’s ideas.

This was an enormous city with no end in sight. Just the city walls alone were several hundred feet tall! It was as if a towering mountain was standing in front of them, and it was pitch-black. Just by looking at it with the naked eye, he felt an invisible pressure.

As for the size of this city, it was not something that could be seen at a glance.

“We’re here, Sacred City! Let’s go in!”

Chang Wudi had obviously been to the Holy City before, and there wasn’t much admiration in his eyes. He looked at Li Qing with a faint sense of pride, as if he was saying, “Someone who hasn’t seen the world before!”

The city wall was like an azure dragon lying horizontally, endlessly continuous, like molten iron, shining with a metallic luster. The city walls were filled with dense talismans, forming a huge formation.

Endless Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was gathering in the Holy City, providing enormous amounts of energy. This gigantic city was like a living creature, absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth. Just the absorption of these energies created a huge vortex of spiritual energy above.

The city looked very old, at least tens of thousands of years old. It had been ravaged by the flames of war several times, but in the end, it was rebuilt.

“Battles and flights are forbidden in the Holy City. If anyone dares to violate it, they will be attacked by the formation!” Chang Wudi said.

“What if a Void Realm expert violates it?” Li Qing asked.

“Even Void Realm experts do not dare to be presumptuous in the Holy City! The array formation of the Holy City has been perfected and strengthened by countless experts. Its power is unimaginably great. Just running and maintaining it every day consumes a large amount of spirit stones!” Chang Wudi said.

“So powerful!” Li Qing was secretly speechless. A formation that even Void Realm experts could kill, how powerful would it be!

“There is a Dao Realm expert guarding the Holy City all year round! Combined with the formations in the city, it can be said to be an invincible existence.”

…

There was a group of guards standing at the city gate. The leader was actually a Xiantian expert! Behind this group of guards, there were even two giant statues that were ten feet tall, emitting a dignified aura.

Obviously, these were two powerful mechanical puppets! Xiantian experts weren’t able to withstand a single blow in front of the two statues, and no one dared to cause trouble at the city gates.

Entering the city required paying spirit stones, not worldly gold and silver goods. This entry fee is really expensive! Just collecting spirit stones was already a large amount of income.

Li Qing and Chang Wudi were both Xiantian experts, their strengths were formidable, but they were inconspicuous amongst the crowd, because there were Xiantian experts everywhere!

Suddenly, a loud noise came from behind. Li Qing turned his head and saw a huge exotic beast pulling a gorgeous carriage through the crowd. It was as if a black water current had broken through and it was heading towards the city gate.

“Who is so arrogant? To actually enter by car in such a dense crowd? I’m not afraid of bumping into anyone.” Li Qing was curious.

“This is Patriarch Zixu!” Someone recognized him.

“Hurry up and get out of the way. Don’t you want to die?”

Everyone moved aside, and Li Qing was no exception. Those who could be called Daoists were naturally Void Realm experts. No wonder it was so impressive.

Of course, the guards at the city gate didn’t dare to stop a Void Realm Adept and let the carriage in. Strong is different, enjoy special treatment.

Li Qing couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. He had just met a Void Realm expert on his first day here. This place was truly a clouds of experts.

Before he could truly enter the Holy City, Li Qing could already feel that there was a gathering place for wind and clouds in front of him.

After paying a few spirit stones, he smoothly entered the city, which was extremely prosperous. Li Qing raised his eyes and saw magnificent buildings rising from the ground.

Li Qing immediately asked, “Where is the headquarters of the Heavenly Alliance? Where do we need to report to?”

Chang Wudi said, “The Holy City is huge, stretching for thousands of kilometers. It is divided into an outer circle, a middle circle, and an inner circle. The outer circle is accessible to all who enter the Holy City, and the middle circle is the residence of the experts and the residences of the major powers. As for the headquarters of the Heavenly Alliance, it is the inner circle.”

The two of them walked into the inner circle.

The Holy City was simply too big. After walking for half a day, they hadn’t reached their destination. This place was simply not a city, but an independent kingdom. Li Qing even saw a mountain in the city!

This mountain was also enormous, but it was not worth mentioning in front of the enormous Holy City. One could see that this mountain had long since been transformed into a suitable place to live.

According to Chang Wudi, there was actually more than one such mountain in the city! Some are natural, some are man-made! After all, many cultivators liked to cultivate in the mountains and liked the quiet environment.

If there weren’t any tokens, they wouldn’t even be able to enter the middle circle. The middle circle could be considered loose, but the inner circle was definitely a forbidden area! Trespassing is a capital offense!

Because they were holding tokens, they smoothly passed through the city gates of the middle and inner circles and arrived in front of the headquarters of the Heavenly Alliance.

“Stop! The Heavenly Alliance headquarters is not trespassing!” A guard stopped them at the door.

Li Qing and Chang Wudi took out their tokens and said, “We are from the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings. We have been invited to meet up. Please notify us.”

The guard took the token, checked it and brought them in. Soon after, a Xiantian Seventh Stage Heavenly Alliance deacon received them.

After confirming his identity, the deacon handed the token back to Li Qing and Chang Wudi and said, “It’s still early, and the number of people hasn’t arrived yet. You guys stay here for a while and wait until the seventh day of the seventh month before leaving for the Ancient God Pagoda together.”

“Alright!” The two of them nodded.

“We’ve already prepared a place for you to stay. There will be servants to take you there later. It’s absolutely safe here. There’s no need to worry about anything unexpected happening. Just stay here and settle down.” The deacon was very kind.
