559: Chapter 559 Arrival in Zhenyuan City!

On the Cosmic Cloud spaceship.

"We've reached the Cosmic Abyss!"

"Are we finally here?"

"It seems so! Look, over there is the Tiancheng Defense Line!"

"How magnificent!"

"Is this the Tiancheng Defense Line? It truly is magnificent!"

Within the various areas of the spaceship.

The Students looked at the Tiancheng Defense Line in the far distance, all of them shocked at this moment.

The majesty of this Tiancheng Defense Line was clearly even more magnificent and vast than they had imagined!

And amidst the shock...

The Students' moods gradually became somewhat heavy.

Because even from this great distance, the scent of blood could be detected, which was enough to illustrate the cruelty at the defense line!

Besides belonging to those invaders from the Alien Universe, most of this blood scent likely belonged to the ancestors of their own universe.

"Is this the Tiancheng Defense Line?"

Li Fan had already emerged from seclusion on the Bizarre Planet by now; gazing at the distant Tiancheng Defense Line, he was also somewhat shocked.

But before Li Fan could remain shocked for long...

Tai Fang's voice rang out over the ship's broadcast.

"The ship will arrive at Zhenyuan City, located within the Tiancheng Defense Line, in two days. Please be prepared.

Next, we will stay in Zhenyuan City for a short period. Once the City Lord has calculated the optimal timing, we will send you into the Pure Land Zone!"

"Before arriving at Zhenyuan City, I will state some precautions in advance. Any violation will result in immediate and severe punishment!"

"First, no matter how high your status within your clan was, after entering the city, you must maintain a respectful attitude toward anyone you meet. Every one of them is a hero who has fought on the battlefield with illustrious military merits. To put it bluntly, you have no right to put on airs in front of them!

Second, you are not allowed to enter areas where you do not have authorization!

Third..."

The message Tai Fang wanted to convey was very simple.

To summarize in one sentence:

That is, they were about to arrive at Zhenyuan City; once there, everyone should behave and not cause any trouble.

As Tai Fang finished speaking...

The Students all became excited.

After traveling for so long, they were finally about to arrive!

In two days, they would go to the Tiancheng Defense Line and witness the cruelest scenes of the battlefield!

And it wasn't just the Cosmic Cloud Company's side.

On the ships of other factions, the same scene was playing out.

Almost all the geniuses were now impatient to arrive at this Tiancheng Defense Line that they had only heard about from their elders but had never personally visited.

...

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment.

The Cosmic Cloud Company's ship had already slowly entered the range of the Tiancheng Defense Line.

It had to be said.

As they drew closer, the Students could increasingly feel the majestic terror of this defense line.

The 'high wall' standing tall in the starry sky of the universe was like a natural chasm; in terms of height, even tens of thousands of stars stacked together couldn't compare to it, and there was simply no end in sight.

And soon.

As the ship continued its journey.

The ship arrived above a massive city.

The city's architectural style leaned towards the ancient, appearing very solemn and full of overwhelming pressure; even from its area, the end could not be seen.

As the messenger specifically assigned to receive them arrived from the city.

The ship headed to a massive plaza behind the city.

It could be seen.

On the plaza now, over a thousand ships had already arrived.

These were from other major factions, arriving a bit earlier than them.

Soon.

As the ship landed.

Led by Tai Fang, the group of Students disembarked.

The first thing they did after disembarking was Tai Fang leading the Students in a deep bow with hands clasped toward the messenger who had guided them.

"Thank you for your trouble," Tai Fang said very respectfully to the messenger.

The messenger was also humble, not putting on any airs, and hurriedly waved his hand with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Tai Fang is being too polite; this is all within my duty."

"But then again, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Clearly, this messenger knew Tai Fang.

After the two of them exchanged brief pleasantries, the messenger departed.

Tai Fang then led Li Fan and the others to a nearby pre-arranged area and settled everyone in.

"I've sent you the list of restricted areas in the city; please pay attention to it later."

"I've just inquired; currently, the Dormant Period for entering the Pure Land Zone is expected to end in about ten days. Please wait patiently."

"However, there is some good news I can tell you. You're in luck; based on the current situation, this opening of the Pure Land Zone will coincide with a round of Spiritual Treasure Tide. If you can seize the opportunity, you might obtain many fortuitous encounters.

Of course, don't force it; after all, you aren't very familiar with the situation in the Pure Land Zone yet, so for now, primarily focus on stability and survival.

If you are determined to seize some opportunities during this Spiritual Treasure Tide, I suggest you go and exchange information with the older batch of geniuses. They happen to be in their Dormant Period and are currently in the city. You can seek them out to learn about the situation inside in advance, though the success rate probably won't be high. Most of them will likely choose to enter seclusion and won't emerge until the Pure Land Zone opens again."

At this time, Tai Fang gathered everyone and slowly conveyed some information to them in a timely manner.

And listening to Tai Fang's words...

Although they didn't say it, the excitement in their eyes couldn't be suppressed.

By now, they had quite a bit of understanding regarding the Pure Land Zone, so they naturally knew what the Spiritual Treasure Tide meant.

This Spiritual Treasure Tide wasn't something you could encounter just by wanting to; it could even be said to be a rare occurrence that one can only hope for. It appeared very infrequently.

They had just arrived and already encountered it.

This luck was indeed off the charts!

"On the other side of the plaza, there is a vast Cultivation Area. There are not only the highest-level Cultivation Rooms but also a massive Martial Arts Arena. If you want to practice or spar with peers from other factions over the next few days, you can go check it out."

"One last thing: in two days, the Ninth City Lord will host a banquet for the newly arrived younger generation to welcome you. At that time, some strong geniuses from the older batch might be invited to showcase their strength and share some precautions for the Pure Land Zone. Remember not to be absent."

"Alright, you're free to move around for now. I'm going to handle some business in the city."

With that said...

Tai Fang departed.

And with Tai Fang's departure...

The Students scattered to take action.

Some chose to return to their rooms to rest.

Some chose to wander around the permitted areas of the city, wanting to learn more about Zhenyuan City.

Others chose to head directly to the Cultivation Area or the Martial Arts Arena.

As for Li Fan...

After being invited to the Martial Arts Arena by Han Luo, Yun Yang, Peng Song, and the Golden Flash Bear, he hesitated for a moment before directly refusing, heading toward the Cultivation Area alone.

What he didn't know was...

That in the city now, many pairs of eyes were already watching him in secret.
