Not even Teng Qingshan and the others, but even Xu Zong himself was quite shocked at this moment.
To be honest, it was also his first time seeing such a massive city, outrageously large, as if the largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter, was slapped right in front of him, claiming it to be a royal capital.
There has to be a limit to the inconceivable!
Before witnessing such architecture with their own eyes, it was hard for anyone to imagine such a scene.
“This Great Xia world is a major world, and like such major worlds, they are generally comparable to the Heavenly Realm. The emperor of such a world is in no way inferior to the Heavenly Emperor!”
Xu Zong came back to his senses and said to the three stunned companions.
Upon hearing this, the three of them were once again deeply moved.
The Heavenly Emperor, how noble a term it sounds!
Could it be that in these Three Realms, every emperor of a major world could rival the existence of the Heavenly Emperor?
“The Emperor of the Great Xia world is a Pure Yang True Immortal-level powerhouse, extremely strong even among True Immortals. Even the Ten Yama Kings of the Underworld and Lord Cui would give face to the Great Xia Emperor. If the Great Xia Emperor were to retrieve someone from the Underworld, the Ten Yama Kings would owe him a favor and let him take the person.”
Xu Zong then looked towards Teng Qingshan and continued.
Upon hearing this, Teng Qingshan’s body shook, his eyes bright with hope.
With Teng Qingshan’s character, he would surely risk his life to become a Pure Yang True Immortal and retrieve his wife from the cycle of reincarnation. The protagonists under Tomato’s pen all have the same nature, but they are also famously upright in their values.
If all else fails, Xu Zong would have no choice but to return to the Oblique Moon Major World and seek the help of Patriarch Bodhi. After all, Teng Qingshan’s inability to meet with Li Jun was partly his responsibility, and he naturally wanted to help as much as he could.
But with Teng Qingshan’s talent, becoming a Pure Yang True Immortal should not be difficult.
“Is that the Great Xia Emperor’s palace?”
At this moment, Pei San suddenly pointed at an immensely large building in the very center of the royal capital. The building was resplendent and towering, reaching into the clouds so high that its peak was not visible, radiating endless colorful divine light.
The other two also looked towards the iconic palace, each with a look of shock in their eyes.
“That is the Great Xia Imperial Palace, known as the Tianmang Hall, and it is also the residence of the Great Xia Emperor.”
Xu Zong nodded and continued to explain.
“It is said that the Tianmang Hall is 9,999 miles high, a colossal treasure in itself. At six thousand miles, there is the Red Cloud, and above that, there are eight major cloud layers spanning over three thousand miles, its might comparable to the Cloud Palace of the Heavenly Realm.”
This enormous palace itself is a colossal treasure?
Hearing this, the three of them were once again shaken.
“However, the Tianmang Hall is not the tallest building in the royal capital. The tallest is the Winged Dragon God Mountain.”
Xu Zong pointed to the opposite side of the royal capital, and the three followed his gaze, their faces showing astonishment once more.
They saw a mountain peak opposite the Tianmang Hall, incredibly tall and shrouded in clouds, which did not seem any lower than the Tianmang Hall.
“The Winged Dragon God Mountain is ten thousand miles high, just one mile taller than the Tianmang Hall.”
“Why is the Emperor’s palace not as tall as a mountain?”
Qin Seventeen asked with a shocked and puzzled expression.
“Because the Winged Dragon God Mountain symbolizes the Great Xia Emperor’s sworn elder brother, the Winged Dragon Dao Ancestor.”
Xu Zong said, “That Winged Dragon Dao Ancestor is a renowned and powerful figure in the Three Realms. To show respect for his elder brother, the Xia Emperor deliberately designed the Winged Dragon God Mountain to be one mile taller than his own Tianmang Hall.”
“Dao Ancestor!”
The three of them were once again startled upon hearing this.
On the way to the Great Xia royal capital, Xu Zong had already given them a general explanation of the cultivation methods and realms of the Three Realms, and they knew that a Dao Ancestor was a supreme and powerful being in the Three Realms, capable of destroying a major world! Undoubtedly standing at the pinnacle of the Three Realms.
No wonder the Winged Dragon God Mountain could be taller than the Tianmang Hall, it symbolizes the existence of a Dao Ancestor!
“This Xia Emperor has the Winged Dragon Dao Ancestor as his sworn elder brother, and he himself is also a disciple of another Dao Ancestor, Chiming. With two Dao Ancestors standing behind him, he ranks among the foremost of the many Pure Yang True Immortals in the Three Realms.”
Xu Zong exclaimed in admiration.
There are few in the Three Realms with such a great background, and the only ones who can compare are a few figures like Lu Dongbin.
“Chiming Dao Ancestor?”
“What does it have to do with the Chiming Nine Heavens Diagram you passed on to us?”
The three looked over again.
“The Chiming Nine Heavens Diagram was created by the Chiming Dao Ancestor.”
Xu Zong casually answered.
On the way here, he had also passed on the Inner Observation of Heaven and Earth Scripture and the Chiming Nine Heavens Diagram to them. The Inner Observation of Heaven and Earth Scripture could only be cultivated up to the Illusory Realm, not considered very precious, only useful for perfecting one’s inner world, while the Chiming Nine Heavens Diagram, Xu Zong had passed on the first two volumes to them, which was enough to cultivate to the Illusory Realm.
Only Teng Qingshan received the complete Chiming Nine Heavens Diagram.
“Let’s go, let’s enter the city too!”
After viewing the iconic scenery of the royal capital, Xu Zong said to the three.
“Are we still far from the royal capital?”
“Do we need to teleport several times to get in?””Is teleportation allowed at the gate of the capital?”
The three of them whispered to each other again, looking very cautious.
“No need to teleport.”
Xu Zong smiled slightly and took out a carriage from the Celestial Realm.
The carriage was all green, with a pattern of a blue phoenix carved on it. It faintly showed signs of a breeze floating, emitting a strong immortal aura. It was actually an immortal-grade treasure.
“Come on up!”
Xu Zong called out.
The amazed Teng Qingshan and the others leaped onto the carriage from where they were standing.
Then, five returning void Demons appeared around the carriage, with Yiji directly driving the carriage, and the other four demons floating around like bodyguards.
Yiji infused the power of the returning void into the carriage, and it immediately flew towards the capital of Daxia in the distance.
“Cousin, where did you get these treasures from?”
Teng Qingshan couldn’t help but ask Xu Zong on the carriage.
“They were given to me by my teacher.”
“Who is your teacher? Is he famous in the Three Realms?”
“My teacher said not to reveal his true name until I have his permission.”
Teng Qingshan had to give up after hearing this.
Pei San and Qin Seventeen, who were eavesdropping, also shook their heads.
From the way he spoke, it was clear that his teacher was not an ordinary person, and was probably a very famous figure in the Three Realms. Could he be a Dao Ancestor?
The carriage was stable, but it was as fast as lightning, swiftly approaching the gate of the capital. The four returning void Demons protected the surroundings.
“This person is so high-profile!”
“An immortal-grade carriage, and returning void Demons following!”
“Could it be a direct descendant of an ancient tribe?”
Everyone around retreated, looking at the carriage and the demons in amazement, feeling envious.
If one day they could also act so high-profile in the capital of Daxia, they would have no regrets even if they died!
Xu Zong and the others on the carriage were completely oblivious to the gazes of the people around them.
“The city wall is so high!”
“And the gatekeeper?”
Approaching the gate of the capital, Teng Qingshan and the others couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
The city gate of the capital was thousands of feet high, and there were four humanoid Demons of the same height guarding it. Each of these four Demons emitted an extremely astonishing aura, making everyone obedient and not daring to cause any trouble.
“Yiji, how do these four compare to the five of us?”
Xu Zong suddenly asked Yiji, who was driving the carriage.
“Master, the bodies of these four Demons are only about a thousand feet tall, clearly all in the early stage of the returning void. In terms of realm, they are far inferior to us, and their combat power is naturally inferior. We have cultivated on the Old Ancestor Mountain! And we also have the treasures given by the master. It’s too easy to defeat them.”
Yiji said proudly.
The other four Demons also looked very proud, obviously very confident in themselves.
Teng Qingshan and the others looked at each other when they heard this.
Seeing five Demons escorting a carriage, the four gatekeeper Demons also became nervous, their four pairs of eyes all focused on the blue phoenix carriage.
When they saw the carriage galloping past the city gate and entering the city, the four Demons secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As they drove into the capital, a magnificent and luxurious scene came into view. There were buildings hundreds of feet high and thousands of feet high everywhere, and the streets were extremely wide, allowing dozens of carriages to travel side by side.
The main road of the street was even paved with clouds, looking very luxurious, with a misty immortal aura, like a sacred place of the immortals, incredibly beautiful.
In the center of the capital, the location of the Tianmang Palace was inside the imperial city. The city wall of the imperial city was thousands of feet high, and there were four Demons of the same height guarding it.
Xu Zong asked again how the four Demons compared to Yiji and the others, and this time all five of them frowned.
They all said that they were all like this without fighting.
Xu Zong nodded secretly. It seemed that the four Demons were all in the complete stage of the returning void, and as the Demons guarding the Xia Emperor, their magical powers and treasures were probably not inferior.
“Master, where are we going now?”
As the carriage entered the city, Yiji asked Xu Zong while driving.
“First, let’s go to the Tianbao Mountain.”
Xu Zong ordered.
After learning the location of Tianbao Mountain, Yiji drove the blue phoenix carriage along the cloud road towards a landmark building in the capital.
The building was like a Kylin lying down, and even in the vast capital of Daxia, it was extremely astonishing, with a rough glance, it was probably nearly ten thousand miles in circumference, second only to the imperial palace.
“Wow!”
The blue phoenix carriage directly entered the Tianbao Mountain.Tianbao Mountain, established by one of the two divine beasts under Emperor Xia, the Heavenly Fox, is a massive comprehensive marketplace. It has branches in every county of Great Xia, where not only can one trade various magical treasures, but also savor the exotic delicacies and fine wines from all three realms. Moreover, it’s a hub for intelligence trading. In the world of Great Xia, Tianbao Mountain is the most well-informed place.
After entering Tianbao Mountain, the carriage drove straight into a small courtyard, where the attendants hurried in to wait on the guests.
“I ask you, what major events have recently occurred in the capital of Great Xia?”
Xu Zong stepped down from the carriage and, seeing that the attendant was merely at the Purple Mansion Realm, tossed him a superior-grade human-level magical treasure.
The attendant’s eyes lit up instantly, and he patted his chest, promising to spill every detail he knew.
“The most famous recent event in the capital of Great Xia has to be the death of Shao Yan Nong, one of the four great young masters of the capital, at the hands of Ji Ning, a genius from a minor tribe!”
