287: Small town

If he hadn't wanted to conceal his full strength, Chu Ying could have killed the fierce black wolf beast with a single punch.

Therefore, although his cultivation was only at the Cave Heaven Realm, and the so-called Eight Cave Heavens didn't seem to offer much advantage here.

Chu Ying could easily crush them with his physical combat power.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Ying curled the corner of his mouth, giving a faint smile, with a hint of killing intent in his eyes.

He was not a fish on a chopping board, to be slaughtered at will.

Although the young man in the silver robe was angry, he still retained his rationality. He knew that Chu Ying was not simple and he wasn't confident he could take him down.

"Just wait!"

The young man in the silver robe roared inwardly before turning and leaving.

Chu Ying didn't make another move against him. He wanted to see what kind of masters existed in this world of the Archaic era.

Surely there wouldn't be anyone with cultivation comparable to a Saint Lord Realm expert of the current age, would there?

The town's name was also very descriptive, simply called "Gujin Town."

It seemed that the people of this town all knew that although they lived in the environment of the Archaic era, they were truly isolated from the world, and the outside world was already the later age.

So the town's name also hinted at some "secrets."

Tassel Inn.

The inn where Chu Ying had previously booked a room, the three of them now returned.

"Are you guests checking in?"

The waiter's expression was surprised, as if he hadn't expected the three to return so quickly, seemingly having experienced nothing.

But he quickly returned to normal.

"Checking in."

Chu Ying took out a wild origin stone.

The waiter's eyes immediately widened, and the inn's manager also cast his gaze over.

The first floor lobby of Tassel Inn was similar to a restaurant, open and spacious, with many tables placed all around.

There were also quite a few guests in the inn, all in the lobby.

Almost all the guests in the inn were well aware of Chu Ying, Qiu Lingsu, and Yu Chuyue's identities as "outsiders" and "people from the later age."

Of course, seeing the three again, besides surprise, they also felt awe.

After all, there had always been powerful experts who broke in from the outside, all of them incomparably strong and unparalleled.

Some were not from the current age, but ancient freaks who had been slumbering, and upon sensing the existence of the Archaic era in the No Return Land, they actively came.

Some of these ancient freaks had been slumbering since the ancient era, preparing to emerge during the prosperous age of the later generations to contend for the "Heavenly Mandate" of the later generations.

After the Archaic period, the environment of heaven and earth underwent great changes. From the ancient and primeval eras, extending to the present day, heaven and earth have declined, and spiritual energy has withered.

Only at the "Peak of a prosperous age," when the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth revives, is it possible to contend for that wisp of "Heavenly Mandate." Otherwise, even if one reaches the Peak in a declining era, it is difficult to glimpse the Emperor Path.

Therefore, many monstrous talents from ancient times chose to self-Seal and slumber until later generations, awaiting their opportunity.

In addition to the monstrous talents who slumbered in the ancient era, there were also freaks who slumbered in the primeval, and even the true Archaic era.

All of them were powerful figures who reigned as King and respected among their peers.

The worst were Young Kings.

Of course, there were also Kings from the current age who also displayed the brilliance belonging to later generations.

...

"How long will the guest be staying?"

The waiter asked with a hopeful expression, looking as if he really wanted to get his hands on this wild origin stone.

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be long, maybe a month?"

Chu Ying wasn't too sure, but he didn't think he would stay in this town for long.

First, he wanted to explore this world of the Archaic era, but he also hadn't forgotten that this was the Inner Region of the No Return Land!

Although it was very surprising why such a place, which could be called a corner of the Archaic era, would appear in the Inner Region of the No Return Land.

But the facts were laid out before him, and he had to admit it.

Second, his goal was to leave the No Return Land and return to the outside world, so he would certainly not stay long in this Gujin Town.

"A month?"

The waiter's expression was clearly disappointed; if it was only a month, he probably wouldn't earn much, and even the manager showed a look of regret.

"Guest, how many rooms do you need? Does it include food and lodging?" The waiter still asked hopefully, wishing to earn more money from other aspects.

"One room, all-inclusive."

"This wild origin stone should be enough, right?"

"After all, we just came from outside and are so poor that we only have wild origin stones left."

Chu Ying smiled faintly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of many guests in the inn twitched involuntarily.

Is this what you call "poor"?

It must be the opposite!

"Enough! More than enough! Guest, I still owe you change..." The waiter couldn't help but exclaim.

"No need for change."

"Now, arrange a room for us and prepare some food."

Chu Ying said, simultaneously tossing the wild origin stone to the waiter.

The waiter's arm trembled as he held the wild origin stone.

"Alright, alright, alright, please rest assured, honored guests, our Tassel Inn guarantees to serve you well!" This time, even the manager stepped in.

He very excitedly took the wild origin stone.

"Hurry! Find the best room for our three distinguished guests!"

...

Tassel Inn, Heaven-Class Room Number One.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, the three of us in one room, will it be a bit cramped...?"

Yu Chuyue pursed her cherry lips, speaking with some shyness.

"Otherwise, you can go stay in a separate room?" Chu Ying looked at her teasingly.

"Ling'er and I will definitely share a room."

Chu Ying naturally pulled Qiu Lingsu into his embrace.

He said with a gentle expression:

"It's been so long since we came to the No Return Land, and I haven't had a proper intimate moment with Ling'er. I truly feel guilty."

Qiu Lingsu pushed him away, blushing, and secretly cursed, Chu Dage is being improper again...

"Then I'll stay with you all."

Yu Chuyue's face flushed and her heart pounded, recalling her passionate kiss with Chu Ying in the pool on the Hundred Refinements Thousand Zhang Cliff, and it was even in front of Qiu Lingsu...

After a brief rest, Chu Ying took out three wild origin stones to study.

"If we Cultivate the Archaic era system, then we are currently at the Cave Heaven Realm. The next step is to engrave runes within our bodies, which means entering the Inscription Realm."

Chu Ying said with a solemn expression, "If we were in the outside world, it would be absolutely impossible to engrave runes. That's for the Divine Power Realm, and even after the Nether Void Realm, because martial arts cultivation requires taking one step at a time..."

"But we are now in the No Return Land - Inner Region, a world with the cultivation environment of the Archaic era," Yu Chuyue said.

"Perhaps we should learn some things."

Afterwards, the three of them rested briefly, then left their room and went to the lobby.

The inn's kitchen had also been preparing their meals, and now seeing the three come down, the waiter immediately went to serve the dishes.

"Manager, we'd like to know some information about this place."

Chu Ying said.

Just as the Tassel Inn manager was about to speak, other guests in the lobby spoke up first.

"This Young Master, feel free to ask what you want to know. We've been around in the Great Wilderness for a long time, so we know a bit about everything."

"That's right, we are happy to answer Young Master's questions."

Hearing these voices, the inn manager shook his head with a bitter smile and said nothing more.

What he knew might indeed not be as comprehensive as what these people knew.

It was mainly hearsay, which might not be reliable, but it could broaden one's horizons.

"I'm very curious about the Archaic cultivation system."

Chu Ying smiled slightly.
