129: Ancient City of Beasts

“Clan Chief, come and see, this is my great-grandson!”

Xu Ming looked at the baby boy in his arms, his face filled with joy.

The baby boy had fair, tender skin and was very cute. If it were an ordinary child, he would have been crying in fear by now.

But this little guy was doing well, curiously looking around.

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host, a person of Golden Fate has been born in the Xu Family, rewarding 1,000,000 family points and one Jade Pure Whisk!”

Another Golden Fate!

Xu Qing couldn't help but investigate.

“Xu Family Newborn Male Infant: Great-grandson of the Grand Elder of the Xu Family Main Line, Jade Pure Sacred Body, with the bearing of a Sacred Monarch, Lord of the Jade Pure Holy Land in the Tianwu Era, at the brink of death, he dissolved his body and underwent Reincarnation, returning in this Life with memories!”

Unexpectedly, he carried memories; no wonder he wasn't afraid of strangers!

Xu Qing smiled and looked at Xu Ming, “Third Grandpa, I just checked, the little nephew has the bearing of a Sacred Monarch!”

“What?!”

Everyone exclaimed, looking at the baby boy in surprise.

The baby boy, in turn, looked at Xu Qing curiously.

“Clan Chief, is what you said true?” Xu Ming was excited.

“Naturally!” Xu Qing laughed, “This child is born with the Jade Pure Sacred Body and has his own Dao. You don't need to interfere with his Cultivation; just give him what he needs!”

Then Xu Qing looked at the baby boy and said with a smile, “Your Uncle doesn't have much to give you, and since you possess the Jade Pure Sacred Body, I'll give you this Jade Pure Whisk!”

When the baby boy heard the words “Jade Pure Whisk,” his eyes widened. When he saw the whisk, he instinctively waved his hands, wanting to grab it.

Xu Qing laughed, “It seems the little guy likes it very much! Since that's the case, I'll name you Yuqing!”

“Thank you, Clan Chief, for bestowing the name!” Xu Jiang quickly thanked him.

Among the many children of the main and branch lines, Xu Qing had only named two, which was a great honor for the Xu Family members.

How could this person possess the Jade Pure Whisk!

A thought emerged in the baby boy's mind. He looked at Xu Qing's receding back, filled with doubt.

“Mmm~”

A wave of sleepiness came over him. As an infant, even if he was a giant in his previous Life, he couldn't resist the onset of sleepiness.

After a yawn, his eyelids gradually closed.

At the same time.

On the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, in a hidden location.

“Buzz!”

A spatial gate suddenly appeared, followed by thirteen figures emerging from it.

These thirteen people were Xu Yuan and others who had come out from Cloud Mist Mountain for experience. Except for Xu Ji, the other eleven were from the Tianfu, Tianliang, and Tianji lines.

Because they had forged friendships during their trip to Yun City, Xu Yuan decided to bring them along for this experience.

Among the five, Xu Yuan was a Sequence Disciple, while Xu Ji, Xu Chun, Xu Pan, and Xu Wen were True Disciples. The rest were Core Disciples.

The strongest in power was Xu Yuan, while Xu Ji and the other three were slightly weaker but all in the Sealing Sovereign Realm, though only in the Early Stage. The other Core Disciples were all above the Profound Venerable Realm.

“Brother Yuan, where are we going?” Xu Ji asked.

Xu Yuan stroked his chin and then said, “I heard from Big Brother that the Xuanluo Upper Domain has one hundred and eight Divine Prefectures under its jurisdiction. A single Divine Prefecture is vast and boundless, comparable to several Great Domains. Our current location is at the junction of the Huoyun Divine Prefecture and the Ten Thousand Beasts Divine Prefecture!”

“Going forward is the sphere of influence of the Feiyun Imperial Dynasty. This Huoyun Prefecture has seven third-grade Imperial-level forces and forty-three fourth-grade Imperial-level forces. The Feiyun Imperial Dynasty is one of the third-grade Imperial-level forces, and its strongest member is in the Mystic Sovereign Realm.”

“If you ask me, why don't we gain experience in the Feiyun Imperial Dynasty first?”

In fact, Xu Yuan wanted to gain experience in the even more powerful Heavenly Prefecture, but this trip was a team excursion, and there were many Clan Brothers and Sisters in the team who were in the Venerable Realm, so he couldn't abandon them.

“Brother Xu Chun, what do you all think?” Xu Ji then looked at the other three True Disciples.

“I agree!”

“I agree too!”

The three spoke one after another.

“Then let's go to the Feiyun Imperial Dynasty!”

Subsequently, Xu Yuan took out a Jade Slip, on which the distribution of the Feiyun Imperial Dynasty's forces was marked.

“The Feiyun Imperial Dynasty governs a region of a hundred million li, possessing one Imperial City, twenty-seven King Cities, hundreds of main cities, and countless small cities. The closest to us is the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient City. Let's go and take a look!”

Xu Yuan threw out a warship, which quickly transformed into a hundred-zhang giant ship. This was a top-tier Imperial-grade warship from the Heavenly Weapon Hall, operated by Puppets, so Xu Yuan didn't need to pilot it.

Xu Yuan knew the principle of not flaunting wealth when traveling outside, so he activated the Qi-concealing formation, suppressing the warship's aura to that of an Elementary Divine Venerable Weapon.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient City was only a million li from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. If Xu Yuan and the others hadn't wanted to admire the scenery of the outside world, the warship's speed would have allowed them to arrive in an instant.

An hour later, an ancient city spanning a hundred thousand li appeared ahead. This was the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient City.

As the main city of the Feiyun Imperial Dynasty, it gathered powerful cultivators from a million li radius.

“Is this the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient City? It is indeed extraordinary!”

Xu Chun and others exclaimed. Having long been in seclusion Cultivating within the clan, the largest city they had ever seen was Xu City. This was their first time seeing a giant city of a hundred thousand li.

Xu Yuan had seen many, but even the giant cities in the Tianguan Realm didn't give him the same shock as the city before him.

“Let's go, let's take a look!”

The warship landed in an uninhabited area. After putting it away, the group walked along an ancient path towards the city gate.

“Brother Yuan, what are they doing?” Xu Ji asked, pointing at the city gate.

Xu Yuan glanced and explained, “Oh! That's paying the entrance fee! Many large cities do this. Maintaining the operation of a large city requires a lot of manpower and financial resources, so there's an entrance fee!”

“So that's how it is!”

Soon, it was their turn.

“The entrance fee is one top-grade essence crystal per person. After paying, come register your information.”

The armored guards at the city gate said expressionlessly.

Xu Yuan readily paid.

Xu Ji was secretly astonished. Looking at the scale, just one city gate alone had at least several hundred thousand people passing through daily. Including the other city gates, the entrance fees alone could bring in millions of top-grade essence crystals in revenue for the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient City in a single day.

Upon entering the city, Xu Yuan and the others felt a strong sense of age. Shops lined both sides of the street, and people came and went, making it very lively.

Moreover, besides the Human Race, there were other races present.

The Eternal Continent was too vast. Although it was dominated by the Human Race, there were also other races that were friendly with the Human Race.

Such as half-demons, humanoid races, and so on.

As a gathering place for powerful cultivators within a million li, the beings here were generally very strong.

One rarely saw beings below the Heavenly King Realm. Many were Venerables, Profound Venerables, and other such existences. As for powerful cultivators at the Heavenly Venerable level, they were already the leaders of the first-rate forces in the ancient city.

“Have you noticed that many people are rushing in that direction?” Xu Chun observed for a while, then pointed towards the center of the city.

“Should we go and take a look?” Xu Ji was a little eager to try.

“Let's go!”

They were all young people who loved excitement. Now that there was excitement to see, they naturally wanted to witness it quickly.

Just then.

“Get out of the way!”

“A bunch of lowlifes, get lost, far away from Young Master!”

“Clap clap!”

“Ah!!!”

Just then, a commotion erupted behind them. It turned out to be a group of Young Masters riding Vicious Beasts, charging recklessly through the streets.

Upon seeing this, Xu Ji and the others were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to act, but Xu Wen stopped them.

“Even the armored guards at the gate don't bother, so we don't need to either, lest we cause trouble!”

“Let's go!” Xu Yuan also spoke up.

Although Xu Yuan was young, the lives he had taken could be counted in the tens of thousands. How could a person who Cultivated the Dao of Slaughter care about the lives of mere ants?

Even if he helped now, these people would die even more miserably later, unless he uprooted these forces completely.

But why should he do that?

The cruelty of the martial arts world was just like this: the strong preyed on the weak, and that was simply how it was.
