A New Identity, the Ghost Capital Ghost Tomb

Cangxuan Domain.

Lone Smoke City.

Chen Ning gazed at the towering city wall, hundreds of feet high, its silvery-white surface shimmering with a cold, eerie light. The wall stretched endlessly to the horizon, with no end in sight.

It is undoubtedly the largest city in the Cangxuan Domain.

In the entire Cangxuan Domain, there is no imperial dynasty; each city fights its own battles, and the city lord is the most exalted figure.

The laws and regulations were all established by the city lord.

Along the way, I heard from Sikong Xue that the most common currency in the Cangxuan Domain is earth crystal, because most of the cultivators here cultivate the power of the earth.

The Cangxuan Domain is a blessed land for earth-elemental cultivators.

The speed of cultivation will be significantly improved.

The cultivators within the city generally possessed a profound and powerful aura. As Chen Ning walked along, he was surprised to find that there were a large number of cultivators here.

Teenagers in their teens generally possess the cultivation level of the Spirit Martial Realm.

This was just an ordinary-looking boy.

Those with even better talent have already entered the Earth Martial Realm.

On the Vast Land.

Only when one reaches the Martial Venerable Realm can one be considered to have achieved something in the martial arts.

Those at the Heavenly Martial Realm are the pillars of strength.

And thus ascended to Saint.

He then entered the ranks of the strong.

The Vast Land in martial spirit.

The same applies to the Cangxuan Domain.

Nearly half the population of Lone Smoke City has embarked on the path of cultivation.

This ratio is quite astonishing.

But.

Not everyone can cultivate themselves to become Saint or higher.

Some people's aptitude dictates that they can only embark on the path of cultivation, and cannot go far.

Most people, even after a lifetime of hard work, only Martial Venerable Realm.

"By the way, what level are you at?"

Chen Ning asked Sikong Xue, who was standing next to him.

Because of that mysterious ointment, it was even immune to its own detection.

It should be noted that even Saint cannot escape Chen Ning's Divine Sense detection.

However, Chen Ning was unable to detect Sikong Xue's cultivation level.

That thing on her face must be quite something.

Upon hearing this, Sikong Xue smiled and said, "I'm a genius; I've already reached the Martial Venerable Realm."

As he spoke.

She wiped some of the makeup off her face.

His presence was immediately exposed to Chen Ning.

"Nine-Star Martial Venerable..."

Chen Ning smiled faintly. Her talent was indeed remarkable. Even in the Vast Land, she was a genius among geniuses. What Chen Ning found even more interesting was that she was now revealing her strength.

This is undoubtedly a way of showing sincerity to oneself.

This is a smart person.

"This soil was dug out by my Lineage from a mysterious cave. I don't know what it's called, but it's very useful for concealing one's aura and cultivation level. Even Saint wouldn't be able to detect it; they all thought I was just a hunter."

Sikong Xue then took out a small jar from her leather pouch and handed it to Chen Ning, saying, "Here's some for you, it's very useful..."

"You're quite the hunter in disguise; you even managed to resist the temptation of the Spirit Artifact."

After accepting the gift, Chen Ning casually asked, "Is your Lineage also in Lone Smoke City?"

Upon hearing this...

Sikong Xue's expression faltered slightly.

After a moment of silence, he said, "They're all dead."

"Feel sorry."

"It's alright, we've arrived!"

Sikong Xue chuckled softly and walked into a chamber of commerce.

What are you doing here?

Chen Ning asked casually.

"Of course, it's to buy you a status."

Sikong Xue led Chen Ning and Hua Luo into the first floor of the Chamber of Commerce. As for the Demon Ape, because of its large size and fierce aura, Chen Ning let it enter the inner world of the Heaven-Swallowing Bag to avoid unnecessary trouble.

The first floor of the Chamber of Commerce was bustling with activity.

But they were all just ordinary odds and ends; the better stuff was all on the upper floors.

Sikong Xue went straight to an old man with a white beard. The old man was dozing off. Sikong Xue grabbed a feather from somewhere and gently placed it under the old man's nose.

Achoo!

The old man sneezed violently, his eyes widening as he sniffled repeatedly. Seeing it was Sikong Xue, he laughed and scolded, "You little rascal, always playing tricks on this old man! What? Here to sell animal hides again today?"

"No, I just wanted to buy something from you."

Sikong Xue smiled and began to speak, then pulled Chen Ning aside and introduced, "These are my two friends, and this is Grandpa Duan, the best person in the Setting Sun Chamber of Commerce!"

"Hello, Elder Duan."

Chen Ning nodded slightly.

Elder Duan nodded, not daring to be negligent. The man opposite him had an extraordinary bearing and did not seem like an ordinary person, so he dared not be presumptuous.

Those in his line of work must be extremely cautious.

He smiled politely and asked, "What would you like to buy?"

"Grandpa Duan, do you still have the identity token from the Ghost Capital Ghost Tomb of Youdu?"

Sikong Xue whispered in his ear.

"What would you need that for? That was a hundred years ago."

Suddenly, Elder Duan's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice, "Come with me..."

They followed them all the way to a dark room.

Inside the dark room, many identity tokens were enshrined.

Several candles lit up the room.

The markings on it that communicated with the divine soul had long since faded completely.

"The Ghost Capital Ghost Tomb fell into decline a hundred years ago, and was eventually wiped out by its enemies. The people of the Ghost Capital Ghost Tomb once saved my life, so I placed these useless identity tokens here. The once powerful force that dominated the Cangxuan Domain is now reduced to these broken identity tokens. Perhaps they are the last proof that those people once lived."

Sikong Xue seemed to have grown tired of hearing Elder Duan's lamentations.

She glanced at the tokens indifferently.

"These two are just right."

Sikong Xue's expression brightened, and she looked at Chen Ning, saying, "Your identity has been found. The Ghost Capital Ghost Tomb, which was destroyed a hundred years ago, is the perfect match. The ages of these two tablets are most suitable to be your parents, and your future identities will be the descendants of the Ghost Capital Ghost Tomb."

"Furthermore, the people of Ghost Capital Ghost Tomb are particularly skilled in the art of controlling souls and beasts, which perfectly matches the origin of your great ape."

Listening to Sikong Xue's words.

Chen Ning couldn't help but look at Elder Duan.

Since the latter had brought them here, he must know why. He smiled faintly and said, "These signs are useless anyway. If they can help this girl's friend, it would be a good deed."

Thank you.

Chen Ning cupped his hands slightly; he only needed a plausible identity, merely to cover his tracks.

Chen Ning didn't intend to carry on this identity forever.

If he were to reveal his origins in the Nine Provinces Realm, it would likely only create more trouble.

He needs to develop further before he has enough confidence.

Having a legitimate identity can save you a lot of trouble.

At this moment.

There was a knock on the door of the dark room.

"Elder Duan, this is terrible! The vice president says you embezzled funds and wants to expel you from the Setting Sun Chamber of Commerce!"

Upon hearing Elder Duan...

He hurriedly pushed open the door to the secret room and rushed there with the servant.

Sikong Xue's face also turned cold as she said, "Impossible, it must be that guy's doing again!"

After saying that.

She rushed off together in a flurry.

Chen Ning and Hua Luo followed silently behind.
