You Must Always Be on Guard Against Others, or One Slip, and You Could...

Heaven's Chosen City.

The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty established this event to convene the Struggle of the Heaven's Chosen.

From high above, the area is extremely vast, and almost everything in sight is part of the city.

At this moment, the Heaven's Chosen City was also a scene of great liveliness.

Numerous cultivators, some traveling by flying boat and others by flying birds, gathered in the Heaven's Chosen City.

"Wow, so many people have already arrived."

On the flying boat, Gu Chen looked at the distant Heaven's Chosen City and sighed.

Mu Fan glanced at it:

"It's much more lively than the previous Heavenly Azure Ruins."

Listening to their conversation, Lu Changzhi looked down and was somewhat shocked.

It truly deserves to be a grand event that has attracted attention and importance from all sides.

This must be the largest scale I have ever seen so far.

At the front of the flying boat, an elder took out an invitation card, which shimmered with light. Then the flying boat turned its course toward the city.

The airship flew over Heaven's Chosen City, and its large size naturally attracted a lot of attention.

"I wonder which faction this is. Judging by their scale, they seem rather weak; they probably aren't a major power."

"This seems to be from the Eastern Region, perhaps from that Five Symbols Sect."

"The Five Symbols Sect, is it very strong? I've never heard of it before."

"It's normal not to have heard of it. The Eastern Region doesn't have any significant forces to begin with, and now it's been occupied by various factions. Just consider the Five Symbols Sect as an affiliated force of the Extreme Arms Holy Land."

"That wouldn't be interesting. I was planning to see if there were any geniuses, but if this is the case, I doubt there will be any."

"The Eastern Region isn't anything special to begin with; what kind of geniuses can you expect them to produce?"

As the conversation progressed, most people lost interest.

Guided by the light, the Five Symbols Sect's flying boat arrived at a prepared area in the city.

The location isn't great; it's even a bit out of the way.

This was somewhat expected.

This kind of area allocation is based on the individual's preferences.

However, the crowd did not seem to have much dissatisfaction with this.

That's perfect; I can focus on building a small, independent force.

"There's still some time before the Struggle of the Heaven's Chosen begins; please make your own arrangements during this time."

After exchanging a few words, everyone went to their respective lodgings.

Although it was rushed to completion, the living environment is quite nice.

After a quick tidying up, Cang Wenyu arrived.

"Any plans to go out and explore these next few days?"

Lu Changzhi nodded. "That's exactly what I was thinking."

With so many people around, we can see if we can make any discoveries.

Cang Wenyu was not surprised, and handed over the storage ring:

"Take these, and share some with Gu Chen and the others too."

Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow, recalling the previous attack on the Flower Spirit Sect, and couldn't help but laugh:

"Sect Leader, could this be medicine again?"

"One should always be wary of others," Cang Wenyu said.

"When you're having fun, you still need to be careful, otherwise, one wrong move and..."

Cang Wenyu glanced at Lu Changzhi, smiled, and then explained to Lu Changzhi.

After listening to the whole thing, Lu Changzhi looked on incredulously.

Like the Flower Spirit Sect, this Heaven's Chosen City also has brothels.

The difference lies in the fact that their objectives are different.

The Flower Spirit Sect's aim is cultivation.

On the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's side, it's about bloodline.

Instead of directly targeting the person, they adopted a more subtle approach.

The union of Yin and Yang produces offspring.

For practitioners, not wanting to have descendants is not difficult.

The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, on the other hand, did the opposite.

The women in brothels are specially trained by the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty; their purpose is to bear offspring for the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.

These women all need to practice a special technique to greatly increase their chances of conceiving.

And it seems that there is indeed such a rule in this world: the descendants of geniuses are far more likely to be geniuses themselves compared to the descendants of ordinary people.

Of course, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty would never make these matters public.

It just so happens that the sect knows a bit about it.

So he made a special trip to give them some instructions.

According to Cang Wenyu, his bloodline must be extraordinary and must not be stolen.

"Your disciples at Hidden Origin Peak are all quite capable; remember to remind them," Cang Wenyu instructed.

"Don't worry, Sect Leader." Lu Changzhi nodded.

This is no small matter.

I'm just here to complete a trial mission. If I accidentally become a father, that would be really...

After giving some other instructions, Cang Wenyu got up and left.

Carrying the storage ring, he approached Gu Chen and his group.

I handed them the pills, and also broadened their horizons.

The four reacted differently: Gu Chen and Xiao Ye looked incredulous, Mu Fan looked surprised, and Jin Fugui blushed deeply.

"Master, shall we go out for a stroll?"

"Hmm?" Lu Changzhi's brow twitched as he looked at Mu Fan.

This guy, is he already going to test the drug's effectiveness?

"Let's have a proper stroll."

Mu Fan coughed lightly and took out a small booklet:

"Inside the house, there's a black market in Heaven's Chosen City. If we come across a place like that, shouldn't we take a look?"

"The black market?"

Lu Changzhi's heart stirred.

A familiar feeling is coming.

"Let's go take a look."

Soon, the group walked outside.

The streets were quite wide, but they couldn't handle the large number of people.

Walking along the street, it was bustling and lively.

Open the system and view information about people nearby.

Wow.

Densely packed, stretching as far as the eye can see.

After a quick review, it's clear that there are quite a few talented individuals, but most of them are rather ordinary.

Those things unrelated to cultivation and fortune can be ignored.

At the same time, he diverted his attention to observe the fortunes of the people around him.

After observing for a while, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

Only in moments like these do we realize what it means to be one of the masses.

The vast majority of people lack talent, and their fortunes are equally mediocre.

However, this is not surprising.

After all, the most important figures from each of the major powers have not yet arrived.

At this moment, Mu Fan, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped, let out a soft exclamation, and said:

"I've found an interesting place."

Lu Changzhi looked over.

It was a building of considerable size, with several men of different temperaments but similar builds and appearances standing on both sides.

From time to time, one can see practitioners wearing cloaks entering the area.

At first glance, Lu Changzhi's gaze fell on a plaque:

"Buddhist Order practitioners are not allowed to enter."

"What is this for?"

Lu Changzhi looked at Mu Fan, who flipped through the manual, paused for a moment, and then said:

"It seems to be a place for female cultivators to relax."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi understood.

Buddhist Order monks are not allowed to enter.

That's not surprising.

Xiao Ye glanced at Gu Chen, whose expression was also somewhat strange.

Seeing the gazes of several burly men at the door, the group did not linger there.

To avoid any misunderstandings, let's continue on our way.

They walked another distance.

Suddenly, a voice rang out:

"Look! A powerful force is coming!"
