Lingxi City
Another place.
Shangguan Xiong and Shangguan Rui could not have imagined that Lin Xiao had only used half a day plus one night to reach the range of that city.
To be precise, there were still thousands of li away.
After taking the pill, Lin Xiao’s injuries had already recovered within this half day or so.
Seeing that many people were passing by nearby, Lin Xiao retracted his Void Heaven Phoenix Wings, asked one person, and learned that there was a peripheral city named Lingxi City ahead, where a secret realm was about to open.
He heard that this secret realm opened once every five years, and only those under twenty-five bone age, Martial Lords and sixth-grade intermediate spirit controllers, could enter it.
Inside, there were many opportunities of various sizes, as well as many dangers. It could be called an excellent place for training.
Lin Xiao was quite interested in this.
Moreover, he already had a huge distance from the Shangguan family, and it would take quite some time for the news to reach the Spirit Phoenix Valley.
He reckoned that within one or one and a half months, the Spirit Phoenix Valley probably would not find any clues about him.
After all, he had used the Void Heaven Phoenix Wings to fly such a long distance in one go.
The search range required by the Spirit Phoenix Valley was too vast.
And the time until the secret realm opened was only about half a month. During this half month, he planned to act low-key, using it entirely for secluded cultivation.
To impact the Yuan Power realm.
Furthermore, as soon as he entered the crowd, even if the Spirit Phoenix Valley searched here, they might not find him immediately.
If the people sent by the Spirit Phoenix Valley were not strong enough, he could conveniently “send” them on their way as well.
Therefore, Lin Xiao was not too worried and headed directly to Lingxi City.
Not long after, Lin Xiao flew to the outskirts of Lingxi City. Looking from afar, he saw endless mountains winding and coiling, as if countless giant dragons were coiled on the earth.
And in front of the countless mountains, in the middle, there was approximately a flat area of a hundred li in radius. On this flat ground stood one building after another, pavilions and halls, obviously a prosperous city.
However, what made Lin Xiao feel magnificent and grand was not the luxurious buildings in the city, but the mountains spanning countless li around it.
These winding and twisting mountains seemed to have some mysterious arrangement, yet also seemed to have no rules to follow. It could not help but give people a mysterious feeling.
Lin Xiao himself could not describe this feeling, but he could confirm that it came from those mountains.
“This place is probably not simple.” Lin Xiao sighed in his heart.
Then, he withdrew his gaze and looked towards the front of the city.
In front of the city, there was a city wall ten or so zhang high. There were many experts patrolling on the city wall, and people guarding below the city gate. People entering the city gate one after another all handed over their valuables.
Obviously, entering the city required paying an entry fee.
Pausing for a moment, Lin Xiao landed on the ground and walked towards the city gate on foot with the crowd.
Seeing that the entry fee was one fifth-grade pill, and without pills, one used Azure Spirit Stones, with no exchange and no refunds, Lin Xiao secretly smacked his tongue.
Just for entering the city, they charged such a high fee. This Lingxi City really knew how to gather wealth.
Of course, for him now, it was just a drop in the bucket.
After paying the fee and entering the city, stepping into the streets, Lin Xiao immediately felt the prosperous and lively atmosphere coming towards him.
On the streets, various items were on display for sale: some selling cultivation methods and martial skills, some selling rare and strange things, some selling medicinal materials, some selling spirit cores, and some selling ordinary daily items. All kinds of items were dazzling and too numerous to count.
Out of curiosity, Lin Xiao also looked at many shops to see if he could find any treasures.
Unfortunately, it was not always so lucky to buy extraordinary items on the street.
These items were all of low grade and useless to him.
After looking for just a short while, Lin Xiao lost interest and headed directly to an inn.
And what surprised Lin Xiao was that after visiting several inns, they were all fully occupied.
The allure of this secret realm opening was so great.
Helplessly, Lin Xiao had to continue searching for an inn.
When he reached the most prosperous area of Lingxi City, a burst of noisy voices rose. Lin Xiao looked up and saw a sturdy young man with thick eyebrows and a heroic air, leading a group of youths, striding forward imposingly.
This group of youths were all between twenty-three and twenty-five years old, each with an extraordinary aura. Even walking in the crowd without deliberately emitting their presence, they could be easily distinguished. They were truly dragons and phoenixes among men.
Moreover, these several youths were all wearing uniform yellow robe attire, and on the attire, there was a special mark of the word “Dragon”. Just the character alone made people feel extraordinarily noble.
“Those are disciples of the Coiling Dragon Valley!” Someone exclaimed.
“The one leading in front is Yu Huairu. I heard his cultivation has already reached the ninth-level Martial Lord realm, with extremely powerful combat strength. He possesses the power to fight against a half-step Martial Emperor. It can be said that in the Martial Lord realm, no one can threaten him anymore.”
“The Coiling Dragon Valley emphasises combat strength, and this Yu Huairu is a ninth-level Martial Lord. I’m afraid that this time in the secret realm, the Coiling Dragon Valley will be the strongest force.”
“That may not be the case. Zou Yun from the Spirit Phoenix Valley is a sixth-grade advanced spirit controller. The pure power of a spirit controller may not surpass Yu Huairu, but in terms of means, Zou Yun probably has a slight edge.”
“That’s right. The Spirit Phoenix Valley also has several sixth-grade spirit controllers. A group of spirit controllers can even combine their forces. At that time, the strongest force is probably still the Spirit Phoenix Valley.”
“But they also need to meet up in the secret realm! Zhang Shi from the Falling Star Valley, Mo Yufeng from the Heavenly Fiend Valley, which one is simple? These people are each more hidden than the last. Who is the most powerful probably can only be known after a real clash. In this secret realm training, who will take the top spot is still hard to say.”
“At twenty-five bone age, a ninth-level Martial Lord, probably only forces like the four valleys possess.”
“That may not be the case. Don’t forget, the host, Nan Muling from the City Lord’s Mansion of Lingxi City. Last time it opened, she entered the secret realm. I heard that after she came out of the secret realm, her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. Two years ago, she had already reached the ninth-level Martial Lord realm and became famous for a time. Even the people from the four valleys, in terms of combat strength, may not surpass Nan Muling.”
“Nan Muling is indeed powerful, but I seem to have heard that when Nan Muling entered last time, she was nearly twenty-one, and her bone age exceeded by a few months, possibly unable to enter.”
“It’s all just rumours. The exact bone age is probably only known by the people from the City Lord’s Mansion.”
…
Waves of discussion voices kept coming. After listening to these voices, Lin Xiao could not help but be surprised.
The people from the four valleys had all arrived at Lingxi City?
The people from the Spirit Phoenix Valley were also among them?
This was beyond his expectations.
It seemed that this secret realm was probably not just a simple training ground. Inside, there must be extremely tempting things.
Otherwise, the geniuses from the four valleys probably would not come so eagerly.
However, thinking that he had only used one day to kill Xue Ling, the people from the Spirit Phoenix Valley coming here definitely would not know yet.
Thinking of this, he felt much more at ease.
At the same time, Lin Xiao could not help but sigh that the Central Continent was indeed incomparable to the Southeast Domain.
If these people were placed in the Southeast Domain, except for him with his Yuan Spirit dual cultivation and Li Ren Chou, no one else could match them.
