Desolate God Hall
Yi Yun walked to the stone table and saw a new set of clothes and a book on it.
The clothes were made of linen, rough to the touch, but quite different from the linen clothes worn by commoners. This linen was woven from silver-threaded linen, impervious to swords and spears, and impervious to water and fire, and could be used as soft armor. Otherwise, ordinary linen clothes would be tattered after only a few days, given the training intensity of the warriors in Tai'a Divine City.
As for that book, it was about an inch thick, thin, with the words "Divine Wilderness" written in large characters on the cover!
Upon opening the book, Yi Yun discovered a hidden world within. Every page was blank, devoid of any written text, yet by channeling his spiritual energy into it, he could access a vast amount of information.
In fact, each page is a book, introducing a kind of divine wilderness.
Yi Yun flipped to the first dozen or so pages, which introduced the following:
"Tai'a Divine City!"
"The sacred wasteland!"
"Ancient Savage Beast!"
"Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures!"
"Legend of a Secret Realm!"
The book "Divine Wilderness" has more than ninety pages, and every page opened Yi Yun's eyes!
The first page introduces Tai'a Divine City, starting with its history and then briefly outlining the training rules for martial artists within the Tai'a Divine City.
Tai'a Divine City has abundant cultivation resources, and over 90% of these resources can be exchanged for Dragon Scale Rune.
The remaining 10% of cultivation resources not only require Dragon Scale Rune but also honor points.
For example, breaking a record is a huge honor, but of course, it's extremely difficult.
This book broadened Yi Yun's horizons. He read it with complete concentration, page by page. The introduction to Tai'a Divine City at the beginning goes without saying, but the later sections introducing the various wild beasts and precious medicines of the Divine Wilderness are practically a survival guide for the Divine Wilderness.
This knowledge is extremely important.
You should know that some elite-level wild beasts in the Divine Wilderness look very ordinary, even harmless. If you fail to recognize them and mistake them for ordinary ferocious beasts, and rashly provoke them, you will die a very unjust death.
There are also some poisonous herbs that look very similar to precious medicinal herbs. If someone accidentally picks them and uses them to make medicine, their death would be even more unjust. A promising young man, who might become the future ruler of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, could die because he took the wrong medicine. Is there anything more frustrating than this?
The book not only noted the dangers of the Divine Wilderness, but also pointed out that those wild beasts were even more valuable.
Especially those wild beasts that possess a small portion of ancient bloodline, although they cannot compare to Ancient Remnant Species, are worth more than a hundred times more than ordinary wild beasts!
As for the true Ancient Remnant Species, their value is immeasurable!
Of course, even if ten thousand Yi Yun went to fight against that level of wild beast, it would be suicide. Only someone of the caliber of an elder from the Ancient Divine City could possibly contend with it!
Ancient Remnant Species are born to be favored by the laws of nature. Their affinity for the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi and earth is far beyond what humans can match.
If we could truly kill an Ancient Remnant Species and turn its desolate bones into Savage Bone Relic, then that relic would definitely unleash a bloodbath!
Besides gaining powerful energy, consuming the relics of Ancient Remnant Species also grants a small amount of comprehension of the laws of Ancient Remnant Species —something that even the most powerful human beings covet!
Yi Yun read the novel "Divine Wilderness" until late into the night. It wasn't until nearly dawn that Yi Yun's level, unless it was a major drain on his energy, an hour of meditation was enough to restore him to his peak condition.
"Assemble!"
Just as dawn broke, someone shouted outside the residential area.
Yi Yun quickly washed up, put on her clothes, and left the room.
Dozens of people had gathered in the open space outside, all of whom had come with Yi Yun, including Zhou Kui.
Today, Zhou Kui still carries his signature large ring-bladed sword and Skull Crusher Hammer, giving off a menacing aura.
Zhou Kui looked at Yi Yun, and Yi Yun looked at Zhou Kui. The two exchanged a glance but did not speak.
Qin the Bald stroked his chin, a playful smile playing on his lips. The young talents who came to Tai'a Divine City were all competitors. Resources were limited, and they had to fight for everything, so it was normal for them to clash.
This is inevitable.
"Today, I'm taking you to the Desolate God Hall! Let's go!"
Without uttering a single unnecessary word, the bald man led the group directly to the center of the divine city.
The Desolate God Hall is a grand hall located directly in front of the Central Divine Tower. The Desolate God Hall is enormous. It is the tallest building in the entire Tai'a Divine City besides the Central Divine Tower. Many young talents who come here feel as if they are ants crawling into the magnificent hall where the Emperor resides.
The pillars at the entrance of the main hall are all meticulously crafted, standing dozens of feet tall and as thick as ten people could hug, a truly breathtaking sight!
The rocks used to build the main hall were all heavy and enormous, like small, flattened hills pieced together with molten iron poured into the middle. Under the illumination of the fluorite lamps, they gleamed with a cold metallic gleam.
The main hall was very spacious, Yi Yun could see a large number of people gathered there at a glance.
These people included both men and women, with women making up about a third of the total. The Brocade Dragon Guard was entirely composed of men, but there were quite a few women among the trial participants of Tai'a Divine City. Some of these women came from prominent Lineage, some from the royal family, and some from the Azure Luan Guard, which was the female Azure Luan Guard, corresponding to the Brocade Dragon Guard.
Most of the people in the main hall were dressed in fine clothes, clearly of noble birth. Some were even dressed in aristocratic attire, including Flying Fish Robe and python robes!
The python robe is reserved for barons!
In the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, Noble Title are not hereditary, nor are they for life. If a warrior loses his power for some reason, his Noble Title and benefits may even be reduced. Of course, injuries sustained in battle for the country are not included in this category.
Yi Yun looked at the boy in the python robe; he was only about fourteen years old. The reason he was made a baron at such a young age could only be that he possessed extraordinary talent!
"A fourteen-year-old baron... I wonder just how strong he has become?"
Yi Yun muttered to himself, then suddenly his pupils contracted slightly as he looked in another direction.
There, a young man in brocade robes, dressed in Prison Ox Robe, sat on a chair with a golden sword at his side.
Prison Ox Robe, Viscount!
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was granted the title of viscount?
What does it mean to be a viscount? Yan Menglong, the general of the Brocade Dragon Guard in Tiandu City, is just a viscount.
A young boy, with a Noble Title equivalent to a general!
Yi Yun was genuinely surprised.
He noticed that although there were many people in the hall, no one approached the young man in brocade robes from the center.
Ninety-nine percent of the people present were standing, but this young man sat so calmly in his chair, almost like a king.
The boy surveyed his surroundings with disdain, holding a purple Longsword in his hand and wearing a red ring on his finger.
"Space Ring..."
Yi Yun recognized the ring—a Space Ring, extremely expensive. Yi Yun didn't have Space Ring yet; on his way to the Divine Wilderness, he always carried a large animal hide bundle, half his height.
"Do you know him?" Yi Yun asked Song Zijun beside him. He gestured to the boy with his eyes, but to Yi Yun's surprise, the boy noticed his gesture!
The boy's gaze swept over Yi Yun and Song Zijun, but only lingered for a very short time before ignoring Yi Yun and looking in another direction.
It was this brief eye contact that made Song Zijun gasp.
"Sword Intent! He had already grasped a trace of the rudimentary form of Sword Intent in his eyes..."
When the boy glanced at him just now, Song Zijun felt as if a sword was pressed against his brow; the chilling sensation made his pores shrink.
Swordsmen can cultivate their swordsmanship so that their arms, hands, and feet can all become swords. A palm strike is just like a sword strike. In the end, even their gaze can become a sword, killing with their eyes!
This young man has not yet reached the level of having eyes that shine like Sword Light, but he has already begun to show signs of it.
"Who is he?" Yi Yun asked again.
However, Song Zijun simply shook his head, "I don't know..."
Song Zijun was born into the Song Family in Nanjun, Jingzhou. Jingzhou was one of the 108 prefectures, and Nanjun was a small part of Jingzhou. Compared to the vast Tai'a Divine Kingdom, Nanjun was insignificant. Therefore, Song Zijun did not know many outstanding talents.
At this moment, someone next to Song Zijun said, "His Yang Gan. He comes from the Tai'a Royal Family. He entered Tai'a Divine City at the age of twelve and has been training here for three years. Now, Yang Gan's ranking on the Heaven and Earth Ranking has already broken into the top 100. He's probably going to break into the top 30 this year!"
"The Tai'a Royal Family!" Yi Yun took a deep breath. In the entire Tai'a Divine Kingdom, among all the powerful Lineage, none could compare to the royal Lineage!
As for the county-level Lineage in Jingzhou, they were nothing more than ants in front of the imperial family.
Since its establishment, the royal family of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom has continued for millions of years.
For millions of years, the royal family of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom has had strict rules regarding marriage. All members of the royal family must have their marriages arranged by their elders and are not allowed to arrange marriages privately, otherwise it would be equivalent to giving up their royal status.
The marriage partners chosen by the royal family are either super families with profound heritage, Ancient Secret Tribe with outstanding bloodlines, or peerless geniuses with unparalleled personal talent.
In short, the royal family continuously absorbs all talented individuals, elites, and prodigies, all in order to make the bloodline of their descendants stronger and stronger, thus increasing the likelihood of the birth of geniuses.
It was this inhumane system that ensured the prosperity and stability of the Tai'a Royal Family, allowing them to maintain their rule.
The royal family's foundation is already unimaginably deep. Within the royal family, there are countless rare and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. However, being born into the royal family does not mean that one can enjoy these resources at will. The royal family has too many people, and only the best among them are qualified for the royal family to make every effort to cultivate them.
Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that Yang Gan received the title of viscount at the age of fifteen.
[Merry Christmas everyone -- a blessing from a country bumpkin who rarely celebrates Christmas.]
