The Heaven's Chosen's Status [Thank You, Shan Shan is Very Cute, for Being the Hall Master!]

Xiao Ran rode his sword, carrying Chunwa and Qiuchan, all the way to the remote wilderness on the northeastern edge of the Blazing Fire Kingdom, where he discovered a solitary peak that soared into the clouds.

After flying into the clouds, they discovered that the mountain was only half there, as if it had been cut in half by a powerful sword.

Half of the mountain was shrouded in a pale blue Azure Inscription Grand Array, radiating the light of righteousness.

The small town built on the cross-section of the mountain is the only branch that the Dao Alliance has established in the area surrounding Zongzhi Mountain (referred to as the Dongfu District within the Dao Alliance).

East Floating City.

This was Xiao Ran's first visit to the Dao Alliance headquarters in three years, and he felt inexplicably excited.

Upon closer inspection, the East Floating City is only about ten miles in circumference, which is far too small for the only Dao Alliance headquarters in Dongfu District.

However, the city is dotted with buildings and crisscrossed by streets, exuding a majestic aura. Its urban design subtly embodies the beauty of grand avenues, far surpassing the Flamefree City.

Xiao Ran heard that the Dao Alliance controlled the entire True Spirit Continent by relying on hundreds of similar immortal cities.

However, East Floating City is close to Zongzhi Mountain, one of the Five Great Rogues. The Dao Alliance gives Zongzhi Mountain face and has not built a large immortal city, so its control over the surrounding areas is relatively weak.

Through the blue light array, Xiao Ran could see a five-pointed tower in the center of the city, piercing the sky like a giant sword, and a sense of sacredness welled up in his heart.

"Is that Xing Tian Pavilion?"

The two girls were taken aback and said in their childish voices, "You're so amazing, yet you've never even seen Xing Tian Pavilion? And you say you're not from beyond the heavens!"

"People outside the realm of civilization" refers to those from outside the True Spirit Continent; it's just a legend.

Xiao Ran was too lazy to argue, since no one believed them anyway.

Looking up at the top of Xingtian Pavilion, there was a blue light array of five swords clashing and slowly rotating, which was the legendary Dao Alliance teleportation array.

The cost is extremely high, and it will not be started easily unless there is an emergency. For non- Dao Alliance members to pass through once, each person needs to pay one thousand Spirit Stone.

A month later, when Xiao Ran goes to Chaos City, it will be the first time he has been teleported by space.

I hope I don't time travel again...

Enter the blue light array.

A layer of cyan Spirit Runes floating above the formation will verify the identity of those entering the city.

Before Xiao Ran entered Zongzhi Mountain and ascended Sword-Wielding Mountain, he recorded three pieces of identity information in the Discipline Hall: bloodline, pupil light, and spiritual strength.

Therefore, their identities will be recognized by the Dao Alliance's grand formation.

However, the Azure Light Array did not react at all.

This is a seal, not a computer, so it won't give you any feedback unless you have a problem.

Upon entering the grand formation, Xiao Ran landed at Sword Plaza, west of East Floating City.

A Dao Alliance steward emerged from the pavilion next to Sword Plaza.

A tall, upright elderly man was probably a senior security guard at the parking lot, monitoring the identities of visitors and greeting and guiding important figures.

Upon seeing Xiao Ran, the old man disregarded his Foundation Establishment status and bowed deeply.

"Junior Dao Alliance Huang Yuanzi greets Senior Xiao and the two... junior seniors."

Chunwa and Qiuchan were taken aback. They had never been called "senior" before when they came with their Master.

Having come with Xiao Ran, the two were forced to be promoted in seniority because they were of the same generation as Xiao Ran.

Is this the prestige of the Dao Alliance's prodigies?

Xiao Ran was still a little uncomfortable. After a moment of hesitation, he returned the greeting.

"You're too kind, Senior Huang."

The old man said:

"Senior Xiao has just made a great contribution to the Dao Alliance, and this is his first time in East Floating City. I will call two stewards to guide you."

The Chunwa and Qiuchan are unhappy.

"No need to guide us anymore. Do you think we're not human?"

The old man was taken aback.

"Yeah?"

The two little girls' faces turned black.

The old man quickly laughed and said, "Haha, don't mind. The two young seniors and Elder Yinyue often come to East Floating City and are quite familiar with each other."

"It's alright."

Xiao Ran nodded, as if he were a parent.

After the joke, the old man relaxed on his own, pretending that he was good at getting along with young people.

"Should I inform Chief Li you have arrived?"

Xiao Ran wanted to ask Li Wuxie for help in lowering the price, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

"No need, I just came to buy some things."

"I understand, I understand."

It's unclear what the old man understood, but he changed the subject and said, "After the events in Flamefree City, the Imperial Road Army will remain stationed in East Floating City for a few months to prevent any unresolved issues. The people of East Floating City are somewhat resistant, so the streets aren't as lively as before."

"It's alright, I'm not here to shop anyway."

After leaving Sword Plaza, Xiao Ran walked onto the main street.

The streets were filled with the Imperial Road Army of the Dao Alliance Headquarters.

The Imperial Road Army is the official army of the Dao Alliance Headquarters, dressed in uniform dark blue and marching in neat formation.

Because East Floating City is located near Zongzhi Mountain, there are usually no Imperial Road Army stationed there.

Although these Imperial Road Army generally only had the cultivation Cultivation Level of the Qi Refining Realm, they were seasoned veterans with combat power that overwhelmed the Qi Refining cultivators of the sect. They appeared extremely imposing, making people afraid to look them in the eye.

Xiao Ran thought he could stroll around discreetly, but unexpectedly, the old security guard announced his arrival to the whole city.

Immediately, the Imperial Road Army who passed by Xiao Ran stopped, stood at attention, and Merit Bow respectfully to Xiao Ran after confirming Xiao Ran identity, before continuing their patrol.

The Merit Bow" is a privilege reserved for holders of the Dao Alliance's " Wraithhunter Medal ".

The Wraithhunter Medal is an award given by the Dao Alliance to those who have made significant contributions to the Demon Extermination and People Protection missions, granting them the supreme power of being exempt from death once.

The Wraithhunter Medal is the highest honor of the Dao Alliance, and it is extremely difficult to obtain! Even if you kill the most powerful Wraith beings, it will still be very difficult to get it.

It is only possible to obtain this if one can protect or rescue a large number of mortals while killing the underworld.

Any Dao Alliance official, deacon, Wraith Hunter, Academy student, or even the Dao Leader himself, must stand upright Merit Bow to the holder of the Wraithhunter Medal as a sign of respect.

The Wraithhunter Medal is evaluated annually.

Given Xiao Ran's performance in Flamefree City, even if he didn't receive the Wraithhunter Medal, it was still a contribution of almost the same level. That's why these Imperial Road Army treated Xiao Ran with such respect.

There was no mockery or formulaic indifference in their eyes, but rather a deep-seated respect.

This respect is a concept they accept from the very first day they enter the Dao Alliance; it has long been ingrained in their blood, forming an instinctive sense of cohesion and fighting power.

In the past, Xiao Ran could only look up at the Imperial Road Army but not get close. He never expected that he would be Merit Bow to the high and mighty Imperial Road Army Jing Xun in the blink of an eye.

This is how saviors are treated!

Although the Dao Alliance has its own problems and it is difficult to achieve perfection in the Dharma Ending Era, it is impeccable in its treatment of mortals and saviors.

Moreover, in the three years that Xiao Ran observed, the Dao Alliance has become increasingly progressive and standardized, and while exerting pressure, it also tries to be more humane...

Unfortunately, Xiao Ran's talent was too low in the past. He couldn't even get a job cleaning toilets at the Dao Alliance during his interview. His Master chose him from among the vast sea of people. Otherwise, if given the chance, he would definitely have chosen to go to the Dao Alliance first.

Xiao Ran walked down the desolate street, apart from the Imperial Road Army who would Merit Bow to him, the occasional East Floating Overseer would also bow respectfully to him.

It was noon, Xiao Ran hadn't gone to Bai Ye to buy seeds yet when the two girls started clamoring for lunch.

The inns and restaurants along the roadside had their owners personally walk out onto the street and pull Xiao Ran and his two companions into their establishments.

"Senior Xiao is the savior of Flamefree City and a great hero of Dongfu District. Today, please eat and drink to your heart's content. Penglai Tavern will not charge you a single tael of silver!"

"Having learned in advance that Senior Xiao was coming to Dongfu, Hongyun Inn had already prepared a grand feast for him!"

"For every meal Senior Xiao eats for free at our restaurant, Great Forest Wine House will donate the same amount of food to homeless children in the city!"

Is there really such a good thing?

Xiao Ran roughly understood the tricks these shops used, so he hesitated to enter.

Even more outrageous were the brothels.

Upon seeing Xiao Ran arrive in the city, the brothel opened its doors in broad daylight. The still-attractive middle-aged madam rushed out and dragged Xiao Ran straight into the Ten Thousand Flowers Brothel.

"The girls at our Ten Thousand Flowers Brothel all admire Senior Xiao, especially the new geishas. They are all skillful and innocent young women. Please feel free to come and rest. Take as many as you like, and Ten Thousand Flowers Brothel will not charge you a single penny..."

Before Xiao Ran could speak, Chunwa and Qiuchan forcefully pushed the madam away.

"Aren't you letting people eat in the middle of the day? Junior Brother Xiao isn't that kind of person!"

"Junior Brother Xiao, do you think we're right?"

When it came to the food-seeking part, the two girls' IQs skyrocketed.

You've all gone this far, what else can I do?

Xiao Ran turned and went to Great Forest Wine House, which offered free meals to children.

Really!

As soon as Xiao Ran and his two companions sat down, the restaurant put up a sign at the entrance—

"Xiao Ran, the great hero who saved Flamefree City, the pride of the Dao Alliance in Dongfu District, and a renowned single talent, is now dining at our restaurant."

Soon.

The store was full.

Countless city dwellers come to this restaurant to reserve tables and dine, eager to admire Xiao Ran's elegant demeanor.

Especially certain families practicing spiritual cultivation, wealthy merchants, and families with beautiful daughters...

One by one, they came over to toast Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran was extremely annoyed.

Fortunately, the Chunwa and Qiuchan managed to eat several hundred Spirit Stone worth of food in just half an hour, which could be considered as Xiao Ran making a small contribution to the homeless children in the city.

In the center of the city Xing Tian Pavilion.

The third floor, on the top floor, is a study.

Li Wuxie, dressed in an indigo cloud robe and with a seven-foot-long sword at his waist, sat upright before a long table.

Holding a overflowing Black Sand Teapot in his left hand and a spoon in his right, he savored the Black Snake Soup.

His rugged brows furrowed slightly, as if he had something on his mind. He swallowed goji berries in large gulps with his left hand and quickly ate snake soup with his right, but he was still restless.

The scene of cleaving the dragon's scales with a single sword strike that night kept replaying in his mind...

At that moment, Heishi pushed open the door and entered.

"Xiao Ran has come to the city!"

Li Wuxie's droopy eyelids went black, and he almost spat out the goji berries.

He lowered his voice and asked, "What is he doing in East Floating City?"

Heishi replied:

"It's said he's coming to buy high-grade grain seeds and such. Is the Chief Minister going to meet him?"

Li Wuxie shook his head fiercely.

"Pretend you don't know. If he comes to the Xing Tian Pavilion to find me, tell him I went to the Dao Alliance Headquarters."
