CHAPTER 1118: CHAPTER 1109: XUEZHAO DIVINE CITY

The Qingling Continent is vast and boundless.

The four regions are separated by endless mountains, impossible to traverse.

Only by using a teleportation array can one cross the regions.

Among the four regions, shrouded in the Death Sea, lies a land of joy.

The Central State Divine Country, Xuezhao!

The Great Emperor’s birthday celebration, with heroes from all four regions gathered, presents a grand spectacle akin to a gathering of ten thousand saints.

After spending nearly a month in the teleportation channel, Mo Wangchen and his party finally arrived in this joyful land.

The Xuezhao Capital, Divine City!

A group of five descended here; the city has existed for countless years, protected by great formations, resisting the erosion of time without a mark of defeat.

The magnificent ancient city resembles a terrestrial sacred land, with towering walls reaching the clouds, pervaded by an aura of ancientness.

This is the Divine City, home to the greatest person on the Qingling Continent, the Great Emperor!

The scale of the Divine City is unimaginably vast and grand, not only filled with constructions but also ancient trees reaching the sky. In the distance, a few mountains can be faintly seen standing majestically within.

Now, with the approach of the Great Emperor’s birthday, the Divine City is a gathering of clouds and storms, with prodigies from all four regions converging, and heroes assembling.

"In a few days, the Great Emperor’s birthday will arrive. The Saint Master level powers from the four regions have already been led into the Xuezhao Palace."

"During this period, countless monster-level confrontations have occurred, thrilling and astonishing, with the four regions’ prodigies rising together. Who knows how many will stand out in such a grand era."

"The descendant of the Great Demon from the Northern Region also came. It’s said that at only twenty-five or six, he already shows an invincible demeanor among his generation, with hopes of achieving the fame of a Demon Emperor in the future."

"In the West Earth, the Sword Dao is well cultivated, producing countless unparalleled Sword Gods since ancient times. In this era, one named Jian Wushuang has swept away the younger generation in the West Earth, invincible, with extraordinary and holy swordsmanship."

"It’s rumored that the Southern Ridge is the origin of Dao Techniques, possessing the most mystical Holy Techniques in the world. The first among the Southern Ridge’s younger generation is named Mu Wu, gifted beyond measure, having acquired six Life and Death Techniques, which are transcendent Holy Techniques left from our Human Clan’s ancient times."

"Thus, the Eastern Desolate seems somewhat unfitting. Although the young generation is also filled with prodigies like stars, a true first among them has never emerged."

"The young king of the Sky Demon Clan, Yao Yuntian, has already reached the Emperor Realm and is hopeful to dominate the Eastern Desolate among his contemporaries, but compared to the Northern Region’s Great Demon descendant, he seems deficient."

"Gu Wei of the True Martial Sword Sect is the foremost Sword Dao expert among the younger generation in the Eastern Desolate, said to have even defeated some renowned Sword Dao Masters. He is among the rare talents in the Eastern Desolate of this age, but who knows how he compares to the West Earth’s Jian Wushuang?"

"And there’s the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Sea Sect; this person has an extraordinarily profound understanding of the Heaven and Earth Laws and is rumored to have cultivated many ancient Holy Techniques, comparable to Mu Wu, the first of the Southern Ridge."

"Recently, hasn’t the Eastern Desolate also produced a Luoshen Body, Jing Yun? This physique was astonishing in ancient times and shouldn’t be underestimated."

Walking through the city, everywhere was abuzz with discussions, topics invariably revolving around the prodigies of the Qingling’s four regions, especially the young elites. As they discussed, their eyes glistened with fervor, clearly eager to see these people clash and determine superiority.

"Looks like your fame isn’t small after all..."

Mo Wangchen, walking at the forefront, couldn’t help but tease after hearing the chatter.

Behind him, Jing Yun and the others scratched their heads, not showing the slightest pride. Perhaps in the past, they might have felt a bit of pride, but now, after knowing Mo Wangchen, they couldn’t feel any pride at all.

Progenies outside the domain were aplenty, those were the true prodigies. From Mo Wangchen, they learned that outside of Qingling, even Immortal Realm experts face the risk of falling at any moment.

Among the four of them, one is at the Ninth Heaven of Saint Venerable, and three are at the Emperor Realm. Although they are top-tier talents in Qingling, they are insignificant outside the domain.

"Father and the others should have already entered the Xuezhao Palace, and with only two days until the great celebration, shall we reside temporarily in this Divine City?" Yao Yuntian suggested.

Jing Yun nodded and then said to Mo Wangchen, "Master, I will go find a vacant courtyard and buy it as our residence."

"In the Imperial Dynasty, land is as precious as gold; no need to buy, just rent it," Mo Wangchen replied.

Jing Yun nodded and then left.

"Master, with your cultivation, your Divine Thought can likely cover this entire Divine City. Can it probe how many experts are hidden within the city?" Gu Wei asked curiously.

Mo Wangchen smiled but said nothing, then released his Divine Thought. In a moment, it enveloped the entire Divine City.

Moments later, he slowly opened his eyes, a gleam flashing in them as he looked in a certain distant direction. "Indeed, there is a powerful force within the Xuezhao Palace, likely reaching the Peak of the Void Immortal Realm, probably the Great Emperor..."

"Peak of the Void Immortal Realm?"

The Heavenly Sea Saint and others looked curious. Mo Wangchen had never discussed cultivation beyond the Emperor Realm with them.

Seeing their confusion, Mo Wangchen explained, "Above the Emperor Realm is the Void Immortal, and those who step into it can derive their own Dao. And above the Void Immortal, there are True Immortals, Heavenly Immortals..."

"There are so many levels above the Emperor Realm?" The group was astonished, their hearts unable to calm.

They had believed the Immortal Realm was the pinnacle of Dao, not realizing it also had so many divisions.

"The Xuezhao Great Emperor is at the Peak of the Void Immortal Realm, judging by the aura, likely not far from the True Immortal Realm. Such a figure, even in the outer world, should not be underestimated," Mo Wangchen said.

In the Daluo Heaven Realm, even the most outstanding among the young generation are merely at the True Immortal Realm, just like the Green Emperor. While he could defeat ordinary Great Elder level experts at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, in reality, the Green Emperor’s cultivation is only at the Peak of the True Immortal Realm.

It is only because he possesses an extraordinary Holy Emperor Bloodline that his combat prowess is astonishing.

"Master, what’s your cultivation compared to the Great Emperor?" Yao Yuntian asked inquisitively.

Having been with Mo Wangchen for so long, they remained ignorant of his true cultivation.

"I possess the Divine King Body; true combat power cannot be defined merely by cultivation. But if you must compare, naturally, it surpasses the Great Emperor’s," Mo Wangchen said dismissively.

Currently, he is at the Middle Stage of the True Immortal Realm, but if he fought with full strength, he could even face an ordinary Heavenly Immortal Realm expert without fear.

He has to spend nine hundred years in reincarnation; the laws of this Heaven and Earth differ greatly from his own world, seemingly rejecting him at every turn.

Therefore, his cultivation here progresses extremely slowly.

But with nine hundred years, no matter how slow, by the time he returns to Daluo Heaven, he will surely be vastly different from now.
