Talents of the Various Sects, the Legendary Carriage

"Master, is this the Holy City?"

Before the city gates of the Holy City, crowds thronged, with countless people stranded there.

A young boy stared in disbelief at the magnificent city gate that exuded an aura of authority.

When he first entered the pass, the magnificence of Black Tortoise City had already impressed him enough.

Unexpectedly, this Holy City is much more magnificent and spectacular than Black Tortoise City.

He couldn't quite imagine what kind of person could live in such a giant city.

Beside him, an elderly man in a plain robe also looked surprised.

This Holy City seemed even more magnificent than when he visited it in his youth.

However, upon hearing his disciple's exclamation, he still smiled and said, "Indeed, this is the Holy City, the most magnificent and spectacular city in the entire world, and the center of Central Province."

"The center of Central Province..."

The boy looked at the colossal city before him, then at the even more vast, towering Holy Mountain beside him, whose peak was completely invisible.

The emotions surging within me grew ever stronger.

I feel that this trip with my master was absolutely worthwhile.

His experiences along the way broadened his horizons.

Seeing this magnificent Holy City now makes him feel that if he could settle down in such a great city in this lifetime, his life would not have been in vain.

The old man in the plain robe smiled as he looked at the light in his beloved disciple's eyes.

My disciple has an exceptional talent for cultivation, and his future achievements will surely far surpass those of his master.

So he brought him on this trip to broaden his horizons and increase his knowledge.

Otherwise, if he stays in that small mountain village, his limited vision will only bury his talent, and he will hardly achieve great things.

Led by his disciples, the old man in plain robes walked into the Holy City.

As soon as they arrived at the city gate, they were stopped by a guard.

"Gentlemen, you are not allowed to enter the Holy City at will."

"The Holy City doesn't allow entry?" The old man in the plain robe was taken aback. "More than a hundred years ago, when I came here to travel, the Holy City had no gate restrictions, and people could come and go as they pleased."

"That was indeed the case before, but now that the Holy Assembly is about to begin, the Holy Lord has ordered that before the Holy Assembly ends, only sects with invitations and experts above the Innate Realm are allowed to enter the Holy City."

The guard seemed used to being questioned and explained calmly.

"My master is at the Innate Realm Completion!"

Upon hearing this, the boy immediately raised his head proudly.

The old man in the plain robe paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "My unworthy disciple is ignorant, please don't take offense, sir."

However, he also understood why so many people were lingering outside the city gate.

Among those people, the most powerful aura they exuded was only at the Acquired Realm.

It turned out that they were all blocked outside the city and unable to enter the Holy City.

"You're at the Innate Realm Completion?"

Upon hearing the boy's words, the guard looked at the old man in the plain robe.

"The old man's aptitude is limited. He has cultivated for over a hundred years before barely reaching the realm of Innate Perfection."

The old man in the plain robe smiled slightly, and the aura he had been suppressing was released in a small way, a kind of the Innate Realm charm with the feeling of perfect satisfaction permeating the surroundings.

The surrounding Acquired Realm Martial Artist, sensing this Innate Realm essence and the faint Innate Pressure, couldn't help but step back slightly, looking at the old man with some awe.

Although the world has changed and Spiritual Qi Revival for several years now.

The status of those in the Innate Realm is no longer as lofty as it once was.

But they are still the objects of respect that these Acquired Realm Martial Artist need to revere.

Even the guards, sensing this aura, became more serious.

He examined it carefully and then nodded. "It is indeed the Innate Realm Completion. According to the regulations above, the Innate Realm Completion can bring a maximum of three disciples inside. You may go in."

As the two old men walked into the Holy City, the Martial Artist at the Acquired Realm outside the city gate all looked on with envy.

However, they dared not express any dissatisfaction, because the guards at the city gate were themselves highly skilled, being at the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm.

They are far beyond what they can afford to offend.

Sensing this, the boy stood even taller, his face beaming with pride.

"A Innate Realm Completion has entered. Qi Xiong, can you recognize his identity?"

As the boy and the old man entered the city, not far away in a restaurant, seven or eight young figures were sitting in the best window seats, watching the commotion at the city gate.

These seven or eight young people were all extraordinary and independent, clearly core disciples trained by major sects.

One of the White-Robed Youth smiled and asked another young man dressed in black.

"Innate Realm Completion, and so old at that age, judging from his appearance."

If I'm not mistaken, he should be Mu Qianfeng, the "Azure Radiance Sword" who once dominated the northern states more than seventy years ago.

Brother Zhi Rui, I wonder if I'm right?

The Black-Robed Youth, addressed as "Qi Xiong," analyzed the situation and spoke with great confidence.

The last sentence was addressed to another quiet and unassuming young man.

That person was none other than Lin Zhi Rui.

Upon hearing the question from the Black-Robed Youth, Lin Zhi Rui glanced at the master and disciple.

He then laughed and said, "Qi Xiong, you have a keen eye indeed. That person is indeed the [Azure Radiance Sword] who once made a great name for himself in the Northern Borderlands."

Unexpectedly, after disappearing for so many years, he has reappeared in the Holy City.

The intelligence gathered by the Heaven's Secret Pavilion is unparalleled.

Since Lin Zhi Rui has said so, it must be true.

The way everyone looked at the Black-Robed Youth couldn't help but show a hint of admiration.

"Haha, Qi Xiong is indeed knowledgeable and has a wide range of experience. You can even recognize a senior who has been in seclusion for decades at a glance. I really admire you!"

The White-Robed Youth who had asked the question first laughed heartily.

"Brother Wang, you are too kind. I just enjoy collecting the life stories of these accomplished predecessors; I would not call myself a person with extensive knowledge."

The Black-Robed Youth said modestly.

However, the hint of smugness on his face was impossible to hide.

At this moment, another beautiful young woman asked with some doubt:

"I have heard the elders in the sect mention the name Mu Qianfeng before."

He was a renowned figure decades ago, and it is said that he was Great Perfection of the Innate Realm at that time.

Now, so many years have passed, and even spiritual energy has been recovering for several years, yet he's only at the Innate Realm Completion. That's strange.

"I do know a little about this," the Black-Robed Youth said. "It is said that before he disappeared, he had a conflict with the Heavenly Azure Sect of the Northern Frontier."

In the end, he fought against several Grand Elder Heavenly Azure Sect, killing two of them before being seriously injured himself and escaping. He then disappeared without a trace.

"Thinking back to that great battle, he must have suffered a fundamental blow, which explains why he hasn't made much progress even after all these years."

"The Heavenly Azure Sect? Didn't the Heavenly Azure Sect arrive in the Holy City three days ago? How dare this person show up again? Isn't he afraid that the Heavenly Azure Sect will cause him trouble?"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

"That's hard to say. Perhaps this person thinks that with the Holy Assembly about to convene and all the forces in the world gathering, the Heavenly Azure Sect wouldn't dare to act rashly," said the Black-Robed Youth.

After thinking about it, everyone agreed that it made a lot of sense.

In particular, the purpose of the Holy Mountain's convening of this Holy Assembly is very clear: to re-establish rules and maintain stability in a world currently rife with chaos.

Regardless of whether it can ultimately be achieved, under such circumstances, it's likely that the Heavenly Azure Sect wouldn't dare to be the first to stick its neck out.

"Speaking of this Holy Assembly, most of the sects and forces in the world that were supposed to come have already arrived."

Senior Brother Qi, what do you think the final outcome of this Holy Assembly will be?

Will the Holy Lords' ideas be able to be realized?

At this moment, a beautiful woman suddenly asked a question.

Upon hearing this, everyone else fell silent.

No one expected that this woman would dare to ask such a question.

Even the Black-Robed Youth was momentarily stunned, but he quickly recovered and laughed, "Senior Sister Liu is joking. How could I possibly predict such a world situation?"

"Is that so? But I think it will be difficult for the Holy Lords to realize their ideas."

Things are not like they were a thousand years ago; the world situation has changed.

"The Holy Lords may wish to control the situation, but they are powerless to do so any longer."

The Gorgeous Woman spoke eloquently, and her words shook everyone to their core, leaving them all staring at her in astonishment.

No one could have imagined that the woman would be so bold as to publicly criticize the Holy Lord.

Many people subtly glanced at Lin Zhi Rui.

Everyone knows the relationship between the Heaven's Secret Pavilion and the Holy Mountain.

It's unclear how the Holy Lord will react to such criticism from the woman.

To their surprise, Lin Zhi Rui remained calm and showed no reaction whatsoever, as if he had not heard the Gorgeous Woman's words at all.

This attitude surprised everyone once again.

Those with quick minds couldn't help but start thinking about it more.

The Gorgeous Woman is a core Direct Disciple of the Returning Origin Sect, one of the largest sects in Central Province.

To some extent, this also represents the attitude of the Returning Origin Sect.

Did her words just now reveal some kind of will of the Returning Origin Sect?

Just as the restaurant fell into an eerie silence.

Suddenly, a commotion arose outside the city gate.

"What a magnificent unicorn dragon horse!"

"Which powerful family or force is this, that they would use such Strange Beast to pull a carriage?"

"Why do I sense that the aura of these two dragon horses is much stronger than ours?"

"Wait, I think I've heard of this carriage before!"

The sudden commotion broke the silence of everyone in the restaurant.

They couldn't help but look towards the city gate.

Then, everyone's eyes widened involuntarily.

At the city gate, a huge carriage was parked.

The carriage was engraved with mysterious patterns, making it look very mysterious.

The most eye-catching of all were the two magnificent white steeds in front, which were very tall, had long, pointed horns, and were pure white.

The two magnificent steeds exuded incredibly powerful aura, in no way inferior to that of a master at the Innate Realm.

"Innate Realm- level Strange Beast, the Dragon Horse?"

The people in the restaurant were all Direct Disciple of the top sects in Central Province, so their eyesight was naturally excellent.

They immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of the two strange horses.

Two Strange Beast- horses, having reached the Innate Realm, were pulling this carriage! "Which sect or faction owns this carriage, using Innate Realm Strange Beast to pull it?"

Suddenly, the young talents in the restaurant were all taken aback.

It should be noted that although the world has been revived for several years now, and nurtured by spiritual energy, many Strange Beast and Spirit Beast have emerged in the world.

However, Strange Beast that can reach the Innate Realm are still very rare and extremely difficult to capture and tame.

At least their sect isn't so arrogant as to use a Innate Realm Strange Beast like a dragon-horse to pull a cart.

In an instant, everyone instinctively wanted to check the condition of the carriage.

However, just as they focused their minds, trying to sense what was happening inside the carriage.

As soon as their Divine Soul Power touched the carriage, they suddenly felt a sharp, needle-like pain in their minds.

Suddenly, everyone couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

The released Divine Soul Power receded rapidly back into the acupoint between his eyebrows, as if bitten by a snake. His face turned pale, and he stared at the carriage in horror.

Clearly, that carriage was crafted by a master craftsman; it could not only defend against the spiritual probing of outsiders but also launch a counterattack! "Wait a minute, the appearance of this carriage, and these two Strange Beast dragon-horses... I feel like I've heard of them somewhere before?"

At this moment, the Black-Robed Youth suddenly changed his expression, as if he was thinking about something.

But before he could think it through, a person stepped off the carriage.

He was a middle-aged man who was somewhat thin and had an ordinary appearance.

The middle-aged man's aura was not strong; he was only at the initial stage of the Innate Realm.

But what he was holding in his hand shocked everyone.

It was a golden invitation.

An invitation from the Holy Mountain! The people in the restaurant immediately recognized the origin of the invitation.

This further confirmed that the carriage had an extraordinary background.

Those who receive an invitation from the Holy Mountain are all renowned forces in the world.

However, they still didn't know which faction this was.

Just as everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty, a figure leaped down from among them.

They landed on the street and walked towards the city gate.

"Brother Zhi Rui!"

When everyone looked, they realized it was Lin Zhi Rui.

Then they saw Lin Zhi Rui walk all the way to the city gate, where he first exchanged greetings with the middle-aged man holding the golden invitation.

He then gave instructions to the guards and led the mysterious carriage into the city.

Lin Zhi Rui and the middle-aged man leading the horse seemed to be chatting happily and were quite familiar with each other.

Everyone in the restaurant understood immediately.

It was obvious that Lin Zhi Rui knew the owner of the carriage.

At this moment, the Black-Robed Youth, who had been racking his brains, looked at the two Strange Beast dragon-horses and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembering something.

He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "I remember now, this is that legendary carriage from back then!"

"What legendary carriage, Qi Xiong? What are you talking about?"

The people in the restaurant, who were about to ask Lin Zhi Rui some questions, were all stunned when they heard the Black-Robed Youth's sudden exclamation.

However, the Black-Robed Youth simply stared intently at the carriage.

He muttered to himself, "There's no mistake, the White Horn Dragon Horse, the Wind-Riding Carriage, this is the carriage that person rode in when they came to Central Province!"
