The Vastness of the Royal City, Notify Luo Yu, an Old Acquaintance from Hidden Abyss City Arrives
If at this moment, Liang Yuewu is not in seclusion recovering from his injuries.
With his mental strength, he was able to detect Jiang Shu's location immediately.
They were able to get away from the Liang Family immediately after the missile was launched.
But there are no "ifs".
The specially designed S-class missile burst forth at ten times the speed of sound. Extremely high temperatures rapidly rose from the missile's surface, burning the air like a Great Sun, and directly entered the attic where Liang Yuewu was in seclusion.
"Boom!"
The magnificent attic was engulfed in flames.
The enormous explosion resounded throughout Cloud State Capital.
Earth-shattering!
All the martial artists who had kept their distance from the Liang Family, intending to watch a good show, trembled all over. The extreme sound and dazzling light shocked their minds.
What a horrific attack!
Treasure Artifact?
No, Treasure Artifact artifact isn't that powerful!
"Ancestor!"
Liang Tingwen, who had just risen a few feet into the air, was shocked. He could clearly feel that the powerful aura of the ancestor in the pavilion had, in that instant, gone from being as high as the moon to being so faint as to be barely audible, and then to being completely annihilated.
Is the ancestor... collapsing?
No!
impossible!
The ancestor is Rebirth Realm expert. Apart from the Furnace Fire Realm, who else can kill the ancestor!
Roars, screams, and screams of fleeing echoed throughout the Liang Family's residence.
The missile's residual force continued, and countless severed limbs were blasted out of the Liang Family by the massive shockwave.
The Liang Family, which had been powerful and influential for nearly a thousand years, was reduced to a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in that instant.
The earth cracked, and buildings collapsed.
"Big brother!"
He leaped up and caught Liang Tingwen, who was about to fall. Liang Tingtao's eyes were filled with grief and anger; this power was beyond his comprehension.
The attacks of Treasure Artifact often exhibit extremely obvious fluctuations in Origin Power and mental energy.
But when the iron bullet fell, nothing happened.
Could this be divine punishment?
What kind of entity has the Liang Family offended?
"These Thunder Roc Nether Qi Wings are truly the best choice for killing and robbing treasures, chasing enemies and escaping for your life."
In the sky, Jiang Shu was like a bolt of lightning, covering thirty miles in an instant.
At the moment the armor-piercing shell exploded, he could sense that several Rebirth Realm experts in Cloud State Capital had risen into the air, their spiritual power sweeping across the sky.
If there were no Thunder Roc Nether Qi Wings.
He had no other way but to Two Worlds Travel.
After all, in the Great Jing Dynasty, without absolute strength, one would ultimately have to bow down to the power of the imperial court.
Killing Rebirth Realm expert and destroying half of the Aristocratic Clan —this is a huge deal.
"Although the Rebirth Realm is the Sixth Realm of Martial Dao, it is still within the scope of a mortal body. When faced with a missile, one can only dodge it; once hit, death is certain."
The wind whistled past their ears, and Jiang Shu's voice murmured.
Although he did not witness Liang Yuewu's death, he knew that under the missiles, all beings are equal.
To withstand missiles head-on.
Unless you climb to a higher level.
Furnace Fire... Origin Core elixir).
We sped along, the sun rising and the moon setting.
" The Furnace Fire Realm where Heaven and Earth Furnace, and I am the fire within. This is about merging with heaven and earth, strengthening one's ability to refine the Origin Qi of heaven and earth. But Mind Cultivation is different. Mind Cultivation is about strengthening the body from the spirit."
"When I get back this time, I must acquire a higher level of Meditation Method!"
Although I don't know just how powerful the Furnace Fire Realm is.
However, based on just a few words, Jiang Shu was able to deduce his approximate cultivation level.
The power of the Furnace Fire Realm is fundamentally due to the power of the world they inhabit.
If the Origin Qi here is thin, the strength of someone at the Furnace Fire Realm will plummet to its lowest point.
But Mind Cultivation is different.
Mind Cultivation, focusing on oneself, is about strengthening the body through the mind.
After entering the Fetal Breathing Realm, Jiang Shu's physical limitations were completely broken, and he could feel his life force growing stronger every day.
If, a little over a month ago, he was merely breaking the sound barrier with his physical body and striking a hundred paces with a single punch.
So now, even without using the Origin Qi of heaven and earth, his own fist power alone is comparable to Fuel-Air Explosive. He could smash down the tall buildings on Xuanxing with a single punch.
And this is only the initial stage of entering the Fetal Breathing Realm!
After flying for several days, Jiang Shu finally arrived at the heart of the Great Jing Dynasty, the Royal City!
The Royal City does not belong to any prefecture; its vastness is beyond description.
In the sky, Jiang Shu could clearly see that at the southern end, dark clouds covered the sky and Spring Rain was falling continuously.
But to the north where he was, the sky was clear and blue.
Even within a city, he saw small hills surrounded by soldiers, which had become hunting and recreational areas for the powerful and wealthy.
Even before you get close, its majestic aura is overwhelming.
Above the Royal City, there is an even more transparent protective shield, within which powerful Origin Power and spiritual fluctuations circulate.
It prevents the penetration of all Origin Power and spiritual power.
"This is the Royal City... No wonder, no matter how big the state city is, it only has geniuses on the Little Dragon-Tiger Rankings. The real geniuses will only gather here."
Jiang Shu landed quietly on the plain not far away, Stealth Step until he reached the front of the Royal City before revealing his figure.
Beneath the city walls, which rise hundreds of meters high, soldiers at the Blood Exchange Realm patrolled the walls. Aperture Opening Realm experts at the Aperture Realm, who could roam freely in the state capital, obediently lined up to register and enter.
" Jiang Shu, a native of Cloud State. This is your identity badge. Go to the side and pay one Essence Great Elixir to enter the city."
"Of course, this Essence Great Elixir can only guarantee your entry and exit from the Royal City for one month. If you want to continue living in the Royal City, you will need to pay for another Essence Great Elixir every month."
Jiang Shu tucked the nameplate into his sleeve and stepped into the Royal City.
A single Essence Great Elixir may not seem expensive, but in reality, it's merely an entry ticket.
In the Royal City, the food, clothing, and daily necessities are undoubtedly extremely luxurious, and there are basically no commoners living here.
Tracing back further, one can find lineages of nobles, Aristocratic Clan, and even royalty.
The children running and playing on the road, though not yet practicing martial arts, displayed footwork in their chases that resembled transformations from various martial arts styles.
With fair and tender skin, strong bones and muscles, and abundant Qi and Blood, he was comparable to an ordinary person on Xuanxing.
Jiang Shu took a slow, deliberate step, carefully controlling his Origin Power and mental strength.
This is the Royal City, and what he needs to do is to familiarize himself with and understand this place as quickly as possible.
Obtain Top-Grade Cultivation Method, reach the Rebirth Realm, and participate in the Hundred Dynasty War!
"Is this young master's first time visiting the Royal City?"
Just as Jiang Shu was deciding to find a restaurant to stay at, as was customary, and to learn about the situation in the Royal City from the waiter, a voice suddenly rang out beside him.
A slightly overweight young man rushed over with a beaming smile, "If you have any questions, sir, feel free to ask me. I'm the Know-it-all of the Royal City; there's not much I don't know."
"I am an expert in all aspects of life, from food and clothing to housing and transportation. I know where the most beautiful women are, where the most well-informed business associations are, and where the most prestigious Aristocratic Clan are."
Do you also know where to buy Top-Grade Cultivation Method?
Without refusing, Jiang Shu smiled and tossed over a Essence Great Elixir: "Let's chat about whatever you know on the way. Lead the way to the Luo Family."
"Hey... Thank you for the reward, young master!"
Upon seeing that it was Essence Great Elixir, the young man's eyes widened. He quickly put it in his pocket, glanced around furtively, and his voice became somewhat obsequious.
"So, young master wants to go to the Luo Family. The Luo Family is in the North City, which is quite a distance away. I do know of some shortcuts that would be more convenient, but perhaps young master wants to see more of the Royal City, so please take the main road."
Looking up at Jiang Shu, and seeing Jiang Shu nod slightly, the young man continued:
"Since this is your first time visiting the Royal City, young master, I'll say a few words. The most powerful force in our Royal City is naturally the imperial court. You saw the protective barrier outside the Royal City before you came, right? It's said that it's a Origin Power Array that the imperial court specially obtained from the True Martial Sect."
"This magic array can cover the entire Royal City. Even a Rebirth Realm expert cannot break through the array to enter. They must obediently register at the city gate. Isn't that amazing?"
The young man spoke with immense pride, pointing to the rows of tall buildings beside him. "This is the Qian Family. The Qian Family is not Aristocratic Clan, but a noble family of the imperial court. In the past, these noble families rarely opened their doors, but now that the Hundred Dynasty War is approaching, I don't know how many geniuses have returned from their training abroad."
"The doors of powerful Aristocratic Clan and nobles are wide open, eager to win over these geniuses."
"Doesn't the Royal City have Dragon-Tiger Rankings?"
Sensing the powerful auras emanating from the Qian residence, Jiang Shu casually asked a question.
"Alas, the Dragon-Tiger Rankings is Dragon-Tiger Rankings. But in reality, many geniuses cannot be judged solely by their ranking on the list. Take the Luo Family you're going to, for example. Luo Yu was already eighth on the Dragon-Tiger Rankings before, and after returning this time, he reached the Rebirth Realm in just one month!"
"It is said that they obtained great fortuitous opportunity outside. Many geniuses in the Royal City are like this. The Dragon-Tiger Rankings, in the end, is just a list of geniuses within the dynasty. But those who participate in the Hundred Dynasty War will become geniuses of their respective sects. The difference between the two is even greater than that between the Little Dragon-Tiger Rankings and Tiger Ranking and the Dragon and Dragon-Tiger Rankings."
"By the way, young master, did you meet Young Master Luo Yu when you went to the Luo Family?"
The young man became increasingly excited as he spoke, thinking about his upcoming trip to the Luo Family, and asked curiously. Seeing that Jiang Shu did not reply, he realized he had spoken out of turn and quickly changed the subject.
Too.
Young Master Luo Yu is a powerful expert at the Rebirth Realm.
Even before, he was ranked eighth on the Dragon-Tiger Rankings.
Although the young master in front of him was generous, he was still from the capital city of the dynasty.
He must be one of the geniuses on the Little Dragon-Tiger Rankings.
He had seen many geniuses like this.
Going to the Luo Family might be a way of seeking refuge. After all, to climb from the Little Dragon-Tiger Rankings to the Dragon-Tiger Rankings, it's incredibly difficult to rely solely on personal talent without the backing of a powerful Aristocratic Clan.
He pondered to himself.
The young man introduced the history of the buildings in the Royal City, the achievements of the powerful and noble, and the heritage of the Aristocratic Clan...
Until they arrived at the Luo Family.
Two enormous stone beasts stand majestically.
Some martial arts experts lined up in front of the Luo Family, registering their identities, hoping to become retainers.
"Young master, are you looking for someone, or do you wish to become a retainer? I can help you get in line."
After thinking about the Essence Great Elixir he had obtained, the young man asked in a low voice.
Perhaps it's because Luo Yu has advanced to the Rebirth Realm and become famous throughout the Royal City. In the past few days, more and more martial artists have been coming to the Luo Family.
After all, if Luo Yu really manages to secure a spot to join a sect during the Hundred Dynasty War...
The Luo Family will soon become one of the most powerful Aristocratic Clan in the Royal City.
They are honored by these offerings, and they will have no worries about future martial arts resources.
"Need not."
Jiang Shu took out Jade Plaque from his Storage Bag, tossed it over, and said, "Go give it to the gatekeepers and tell them to inform Luo Yu that an old friend from Hidden Abyss City has arrived."
