"..."
Time is like water, flowing quietly.
Five years have passed since the day when the Great Xia Imperial Family delegation left Azure Cloud City.
Five years is just a blink of an eye in the long years of cultivating immortals, and it is not even enough for a high-level monk to complete a deep breathing retreat.
However, in this border town that was outside the jurisdiction of the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty laws, these five years were enough to completely transform the entire city.
The once dilapidated and muddy Outer City and the strictly regulated Inner City have been completely integrated.
The city wall was bulldozed and expanded, and it was rebuilt into a magnificent fortress that was ten feet high and made entirely of pure obsidian and heavy pig iron.
There are no Daoist runes that inspire Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi engraved on the surface of the city wall. Instead, there are giant winch heavy crossbows and black iron horns purely made of Bailian Refined Iron.
Rough, heavy, and cold.
The entire Azure Cloud City has completely evolved into a black iron Great Wall belonging to mortal warriors.
In the center of Martial Training Plaza, two strong figures intersected violently in the violent airflow!
"When--!"
A loud noise suddenly exploded in the open space.
Han Yu holds Eight-Thousand-Jin Black Iron Greatsword, steps on the gravel with one foot, and his body pulls out afterimages in the air.
The dark gold Qi and Blood surging on her body has completely restrained itself. It no longer leaks out as violently as it did five years ago. Instead, it adheres tightly to the surface of her skin, turning into a dark gold film as thin as cicada wings but indestructible.
Peak Fifth Realm Great Perfection!
After five years of hard work and repeated tempering with a large amount of large amounts of medicine, she has completely integrated the medicinal power of Fifth Stage dragon marrow into the depths of her body's bones. The bone marrow generates pure yang on its own. She is only half a step away from condensing Martial Dao True Intention and becoming a Sixth Realm master.
Opposite her, Lu Chang'an was swinging a giant pig-iron hammer weighing 1,200 kilograms with one arm. The layer of dark gray Periosteum on her body was harder than fine gold. Every time she swung the hammer, dazzling sparks erupted.
Peak Fourth Realm Periosteum Great Perfection!
"Retract your strength."
Han Yu's long sword flew across the air, making a crisp sword flower. Eight Thousand Jin's giant sword was inserted into the cowhide sword bag behind his back lightly and silently, without even stirring up a grain of sand on the ground.
Peak Fifth Realm's Ultimate Physical Body is easy to handle and masters every detail.
"Happy!" Lu Chang'an slammed the sledgehammer on the ground, wiped the sweat from his face, and grinned heartily.
On the huge school field beside the two of them, a total of three thousand young Martial Sect disciples in black shorts were practicing in unison with their fists.
Five years ago, Martial Sect only had Li Meng and other fifty beggar boys in ragged clothes.
But now, in this black iron city, which is regarded as a "monk restricted area" by Cultivation World throughout Great Xia, relying on the hundreds of acres of physical medicine fields and several iron mines that have been reclaimed, Martial Sect's disciples have exceeded three thousand.
They are all ordinary children without Spirit Root, but by punching and punching thousands of times a day, they have forcibly developed tough muscles and bones capable of breaking stones and breaking magic.
City Lord's Mansion In the important area of the backyard Alchemy Chamber.
A few huge Earthfire medicinal cauldrons were filled with strong medicinal gas.
Gu Qinghe's muscular upper body was naked, and his eyes were bright and clear under the blue-black Earthfire. With his last heavy shot, he slapped the cauldron.
The lid of the cauldron was lifted with a bang, and three longan pills, exuding rich vitality and with pale golden blood lines on their surface, rose into the air and were safely put into the jade bottle by him.
Tier Five Supreme Great Medicine, Dragon-Elephant Bone-Tempering Pill!
Gu Qinghe let out a long breath, sat down on the stone platform, and a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After thousands of times of groping on the edge of failure, he finally crossed the threshold and became the only Fifth Grade pharmacist in this world who did not borrow Spiritual Qi but specialized in refining Ultimate Dao great medicine for mortal warriors.
In the evening, the sun sets in the west.
Azure Cloud City's long street is lit up with thousands of lights.
On both sides of the streets, the fires of the blacksmith shops were burning brightly, the cries of mortal vendors could be heard one after another, and the young warriors who had just finished training walked into the restaurant arm in arm, chatting and laughing happily.
There is no cold gaze from the immortal cultivators passing by in the sky, nor the exorbitant Spirit Stone taxes that are exploited.
Within this autonomous territory of three thousand miles in radius, mortals have truly built a peaceful world with their own hands and flesh and blood.
The top of the tower at the highest point of the city.
Su Yueli was wearing a plain white dress, sitting casually on the edge of the cold parapet, with her feet dangling in the air.
The breeze blew over the blue hair on her forehead and gently scattered the dust on her dress.
She lowered her head and looked down at the vibrant human fireworks below her feet.
More than 10,000 years ago.
In her Eternal Life memory, she had seen countless glorious Immortal Dao divine dynasties, she had seen ascended immortals who moved mountains and filled seas, and she had also seen thousands of civilizations turned into dust under the erosion of time.
Those arrogant immortals always think that they can live forever and control everything by relying on their spiritual energy, but they don't know that the world is ruthless and their spiritual veins are exhausted. The end of the immortal cultivator is just an illusion.
Only the fireworks in the world, only the muscles, bones, flesh and blood that grew from the humblest depths of the soil with a will unwilling to accept fate, are the most real temperature in these long and cold years.
Su Yueli slowly spread the palm of his right hand.
There was no bright aura, but with a slight movement of her mind, the infinite life essence and Ultimate Physical Body that had been dormant for thousands of years in her body, at this moment, had some mysterious resonance with the black iron city under her feet.
All the violent power was concentrated into the deepest microscopic flesh and blood, turning into an indestructible human mountain.
Eternal Life, it is no longer just a lonely wandering with no boundaries and cold eyes.
Time has finally established a new anchor point for her in this city that belongs to a mortal martial artist.
Su Yueli smiled slightly, raised his head, and drank the remaining wine in the pot.
On the long street, the lights are always bright...
