Taishu Jing and Taishu Yun had both cultivated to the Fifth Realm, the Inscription Realm. They had already inscribed Dao Law Runes across their bodies and Spirit Weapons, forging Dao Bodies and Dao Weapons, nurturing Weapon Souls, and were ready to take a step toward the next realm.
The next realm was the World Condensation Realm.
This realm involved condensing a Dantian Inner World within one's body. To nurture this newly formed Dantian Inner World, one had to seek out suitable Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items; otherwise, the Small World would be nothing but barren emptiness.
Luoyun City was vast, and flying through the air was forbidden within the city. In a great city where so many cultivators gathered, Soul Palace Realm cultivators were a common sight.
Taishu Jing and the others walked for quite some time before arriving outside the City Lord's Mansion.
Towering pavilions rose all around. This City Lord's Mansion was like a city within Luoyun City itself. Two rows of guards stood on either side of the gates, bronze-colored war spears in hand, their metallic chill gleaming coldly. Every one of them was in the Spirit Vein Realm.
"Halt!"
Seeing the three of them approach, a guard shouted coldly and leveled his war spear before him. He looked as though he faced a formidable enemy, showing no slackness just because Taishu Jing and the others were youths.
"Gentlemen, there is no need to be nervous. We mean no harm. We merely wish to see the City Lord on a matter of business. Please report our arrival," Taishu Yun said politely, cupping his fists.
The guards exchanged glances, then shook their heads at Taishu Yun. "The City Lord has not been in the mansion these past few days."
"When will the City Lord return?" Taishu Yun asked.
