A quarter of an hour later, they appeared on a bluestone official road. Thousands of cultivators were ahead of them, their cultivation levels varying widely. The lowest were at the Core Formation Realm, while the highest were at the Body Integration Realm. An Anti-flight Restriction had been set up here, so no cultivator could fly into Tian Xu Market Town on a magical artifact.
Most cultivators walked, while a few rode spirit beasts.
Just then, the ground suddenly shook violently, as if an earthquake had struck.
A commotion rose behind them. Curious, Shi Yue and Xiaoyaozi looked back and saw two enormous beasts, each as large as a small mountain, slowly approaching. They had dragon heads, ox bodies, and serpent tails. Two groups of cultivators sat on their backs, their robes bearing the emblem of an Azure Flood Dragon.
"The Song Family of Azure Flood Dragon Valley. They're here too," Shi Yue said quietly.
Aside from the Five Great Immortal Clans, some Cultivation Families were also quite powerful. They were merely a little weaker than the immortal clans because the Cultivation Stars they inhabited were relatively remote.
The Song Family of Azure Flood Dragon Valley had a long lineage. Their ancestors had taken part in the Immortal-Demon War over a hundred thousand years ago. Though they were not one of the Five Great Immortal Clans, few forces could compare with the Song Family's strength.
Shi Yue paid them little attention and continued forward with Xiaoyaozi.
A quarter of an hour later, they arrived at the gate of a gigantic city over a thousand zhang tall. A long line had formed outside the gate, and all the cultivators entered in orderly fashion.
The guards used Demon Testing Mirrors to check whether any members of the Devil Race had infiltrated the crowd.
