Chapter 288: First Visit to Zhongzhou, the City in the Sky
Just when Lu Yun had just stepped into the Zhongzhou area, a shocking piece of news set off a shocking wave.
Because the imperial court had announced that a grand banquet would be held in the imperial capital Tianyong City two months later.
The imperial court would invite many geniuses from the thirteen states of the Great Yuan Dynasty to come and fight on the battlefield of the void, and select the geniuses and strong ones from them to form a Tiance Army to cooperate with the demon-slaying army to conquer the endless wilderness.
After expanding the territory, these geniuses or the families behind them could become the lords of a county or even the garrison commander of a state.
As soon as this news came out, it surged in all directions. Countless geniuses and the forces behind them all set off. Various treasure boats and flying spirit beasts flew across the sky from time to time and headed towards the Zhongzhou imperial capital.
In normal times, the competition to become the lord of a county was extremely fierce. Under the intentional control of the imperial court, even the top families would find it difficult to gain control of a county, let alone the garrison commander of a state.
If you want to continuously strengthen your family, you can only rely on the big tree of the imperial court, constantly absorb nutrients, and strengthen yourself.
As long as there are enough people in the family who become important figures in the imperial court, the family can continue to grow, obtain more resources, and feed back to itself.
For all these reasons, many wealthy families are tempted to send the most outstanding disciples in the family to the imperial capital of Zhongzhou to participate in the Tianjiao Conference.
The Tianjiao Conference in the imperial capital this time will be extremely spectacular, attracting trillions of eyes in the Yuan Dynasty, and all young talents who want to become famous in the world are very tempted.
In addition, as long as you get the corresponding ranking, you will get extremely rich rewards, which is enough to move anyone's heart.
At the same time as this news came out, another news came out from the royal family that the winner of this competition can marry the little princess of the royal family.
As soon as this news came out, it set off an even stronger storm.
The little princess of the royal family is said to be the most beautiful woman in the Yuan Dynasty, with a beautiful face and unparalleled beauty, and has long been famous in Zhongzhou.
Moreover, the little princess is also a martial arts genius, with a talent that is not inferior to those martial arts saints. Three years ago, she condensed the best talisman seeds and stepped into the talisman seed realm.
With the superposition of various reasons, this Imperial Capital Tianjiao Conference has become more sensational and more imposing.
Zhongzhou Imperial Capital, Sky City, in the royal family.
"Damn it, damn it, it's just too damn."
A beautiful figure with a slender figure and a natural temperament stomped her jade feet, making her peerless peaks tremble constantly.
A delicate and beautiful jade face also had a fierce expression.
"Ruoxi, why don't you practice well today? Who offended you?"
Not far away, a fairy-like figure, Chu Junxia, dressed in a snow-white dress, came over and smiled at Chu Ruoxi, who looked fierce.
"Hmph, my father actually released some news, saying that as long as I become the champion of the Imperial Capital Tianjiao Conference, I can marry him. This is simply too much." Chu Ruoxi pouted, her pretty face full of anger.
"So this matter made our little princess angry."
Chu Junxia said: "At the Imperial Capital Tianjiao Conference, there will definitely be countless Tianjiao gathered. Those who can win the championship will at least be the son of the saint and achieve the existence of heaven. My father let him marry you, which clearly shows that he loves you very much. Why should I be angry about this?"
The matter of the Imperial Capital Tianjiao Conference has been spreading throughout the Yuan Dynasty, and Chu Junxia is quite familiar with the inside story.
"No, if the other party is an unforgivable guy, then I have to marry him too." Chu Ruoxi said.
Chu Junxia shook her head and said, "You don't have to worry about this. If the other party is really unforgivable, not to mention whether he can participate in the Imperial Capital Tianjiao Conference, even whether he can survive is a problem."
After these Tianjiaos get a place in the conference, they will take charge of the Tiance Army and cooperate with the Demon-Slaying Army to conquer the Endless Wilderness. In the future, they will also become important pillars of the imperial court. Of course, those who have lost their character will not be allowed to mix in.
"But what if the champion is an ugly monster in the end."
Chu Ruoxi was still very angry.
"Oh, so this is what Sister Ruoxi is focusing on." Chu Junxia joked.
"Of course, everyone has a love of beauty. After all, my conditions are not bad." Chu Ruoxi deliberately straightened her proud chest when she spoke.
"It's just appearance. Once the martial arts realm reaches a high level, the appearance and temperament will change. The one who can become the champion in the end must not be that bad, so you don't have to worry about this." Chu Junxia smiled helplessly.
"Hey, Sister Junxia seems to be right." Chu Ruoxi's beautiful eyes moved slightly, and a ripple gradually emerged in her heart.
On the other side, the Ye family land in Qingzhou.
On the top of a towering mountain, a handsome young man in purple clothes was sitting cross-legged.
In the sky above his head, there was a brilliant galaxy hanging, flowing in the night, emitting beautiful light.
Suddenly, an old man suddenly appeared. After seeing the scene of the young man practicing, he stroked his gray beard with satisfaction.
"Xuan'er's magical power has been cultivated to the second level, and he will definitely shine at the Zhongzhou Tianjiao Conference in the near future."
The purple-shirted young man seemed to feel the old man's breath, his eyes suddenly opened, and then the galaxy above his head suddenly disappeared.
"Xingxuan greets the ancestor!" Ye Xingxuan stood up and saluted the old man respectfully. The whole person was calm and restrained, just like the galaxy before, calm and peaceful.
"Xuan'er, it seems that you have grown a lot after the last training." The old man smiled.
Ye Xingxuan, the unicorn child of the Ye family in Qingzhou, has unparalleled talent, and is even more talented than those so-called martial arts saints.
Five years ago, he could not find an opponent among his peers in Qingzhou, so he went to Zhongzhou, where martial arts was more powerful. In the end, he fought with one of the two monsters in Yuanwu Academy, but was severely ravaged and his martial arts heart was damaged.
But Ye Xingxuan, a blessing in disguise, awakened a more powerful magical power.
Since practicing this magical power, his personality seems to have changed, becoming more stable and calm.
The previous arrogance and sharpness were completely replaced by peace.
"Xuan'er, three months later..."
Immediately, the old man told Ye Xingxuan about the Imperial Capital Tianjiao Conference and the little princess's call for a prince consort, and asked him to prepare to go to the Imperial Capital of Zhongzhou to win the championship.
"The Imperial Capital Tianjiao Conference, given their personalities, I'm afraid they won't participate." Ye Xingxuan narrowed his eyes and thought.
After the last disastrous defeat, his personality really changed, and he no longer cared about the so-called reputation.
But he never forgot the monster who defeated him.
"Five years have passed, and my strength has made a qualitative leap. This time I will go to the Imperial Capital Tianjiao Conference and find out his true strength by the way."
Ye Xingyun made up his mind and agreed to the old man.
...
Wuzhou, a vast mountain range, with spiritual mountains everywhere, clouds and mist, and you can't see the end of the mountain range at a glance.
Here is the oldest family in Wuzhou, the Xiao family.
The Xiao family, like the Ye family, is one of the top ancient families in the Yuan Dynasty, with a profound foundation and strong strength.
At this moment, on a spiritual mountain, the red cliffs are covered with strange rocks, the steep cliffs are isolated, and the purple clouds are all over the sky.
At this moment, an old and powerful voice came from the top of the spiritual mountain.
"Xiao Yun, Xiao Qingyu, the two of you, go to the imperial capital of Zhongzhou. Remember, don't damage the reputation of my Xiao family."
"Yes, follow the order of the Supreme Elder."
In the mountains, two figures, a man and a woman, with a fiery breath of law wrapped around their bodies, soared into the sky.
In the sky, a treasure boat emitting brilliant golden light stood in the air, and two figures flashed into it.
"I really don't know if I can meet the rumored son of the martial arts academy this time?" In the treasure boat, Xiao Qingyu's beautiful eyes flashed.
"Just put aside your little thoughts. That guy has been in seclusion all year round and rarely appears. I'm afraid that this Tianjiao Conference will not attract his attention." Xiao Yun shook his head.
"What little thoughts can I have, but I have heard that Chu Ruoxi is a peerless beauty." Xiao Qingyu laughed softly.
"What's wrong with peerless beauty? My main purpose this time is to see the Tianjiao of various states in the Great Yuan Dynasty." Xiao Yun's tone was very relaxed, with calmness and complacency.
At the same time, young geniuses from other states such as Yunzhou and Yangzhou rushed to Zhongzhou.
Most of these young geniuses were accompanied by their elders, and only Xiao Yun, Xiao Qingyu, and Ye Xingxuan went there on their own.
Their own strength has already stood at the top of the young, and many of the older generation cannot compare to them, so they don’t need the protection of their elders at all.
As for Lu Yun, after entering Wuzhou, he deliberately slowed down his pace.
He passed through several powerful cities on the way and saw the strength and prosperity of the martial arts in Zhongzhou.
Here, the Yuanhua Realm and Yuanye Realm can be seen everywhere, and the Jinshen Realm can barely support a small family.
After Lu Yun’s careful observation, he found that Zhongzhou was not only more dense in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but also in the luck of the human race.
These are the reasons why warriors can be seen everywhere.
As for Lingzhou, it has a history of less than 300 years. Not only is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth relatively thin, but even the luck of humanity is pitifully small.
Therefore, in Lingzhou, warriors generally have low roots, and the thin spiritual energy of heaven and earth makes the Golden Body Realm a strong person.
During this period, Lu Yun naturally heard about the Imperial Capital Tianjiao Conference and the royal princess's call for a prince consort.
He just smiled at this.
What Tianjiao and monster, for him, are just that.
With his strength, if he participated in the Imperial Capital Tianjiao Conference, it would be bullying.
Not to mention the royal princess.
With the intention of traveling and tempering his mind, Lu Yun took nearly a month and a half to come to the Zhongzhou Imperial Capital.
In front of him, a huge city with no end in sight stood on the earth, magnificent to the extreme. Seeing it from afar, it gave people a sense of grandeur and shocking the soul.
The entire huge city is extremely broad, and the city walls are like continuous mountains, extending to infinity on the left and right, with no edge in sight.
Within the city walls, there are majestic and spectacular pavilions, waterside pavilions and singing stages, which are extremely prosperous.
"This Tianyong City is indeed the imperial capital. It is indeed extraordinary and much more spectacular than the cities I have seen before." Lu Yun looked around slowly, his eyes gradually moving upwards.
At this moment, Lu Yun's pupils suddenly shrank.
He saw a magnificent city, towering above the sky, with golden palaces and pavilions standing tall, surrounded by many floating islands, surrounded by purple clouds and mist, like a palace of gods and immortals.
"Is this... the city in the sky?!"
Lu Yun couldn't help but take a breath of cold air in his heart.
The huge city towering in the sky was completely beyond his imagination.
It is understandable that warships and treasure ships can float in the air, but the huge city...
"Um?!"
Lu Yun suddenly had a sudden change in his mind, as if he thought of something, and whispered to himself: "Could it be that this city in the sky is an extremely powerful spiritual weapon?!"
"How can a mere spiritual weapon become the seat of the imperial court, the place of the royal family?"
At this time, a clear and loud voice sounded.
Lu Yun looked back, and saw a golden light flying down from the sky quickly, and a golden lion landed on the ground, with a young man with good temperament sitting on it.
The young man looked at Lu Yun and saw that he had an aloof temperament. His whole body was faintly shrouded in golden light and filled with an elusive aura. He said, "I am Qin Feng, a member of the Qin family in Yunzhou. I will be here one month later." I’m here for the Tianjiao Conference. I think you have a good temperament, brother. Could it be that you are also here for the Tianjiao Conference?”
With the arrival of Qin Feng, many warriors around him quickly moved out of the way.
This golden lion has an extremely powerful aura, and ordinary warriors simply cannot withstand that pressure.
"Qin Feng?" Lu Yun's eyes fell on Qin Feng, his eyebrows raised slightly.
Qin Feng is less than thirty years old, and his cultivation is already in the middle stage of the Talisman Realm.
That lion is also at the seventh level.
Noticed this but said nothing more.
"No, I just want to see what the Great Yuan Emperor's capital is like."
Lu Yun said: "However, just now you said that the city in the sky is the place of the imperial court, the place of the royal family..."
Hearing that Lu Yun said that he was not here to participate in the Royal Capital Prodigy Conference, Qin Feng frowned slightly and was a little surprised by this.
"Brother, it seems that you don't know much about some information, so I'll explain it to you."
Qin Feng said: "The huge city standing in the sky is called Tianyong City, and above it is the place where the imperial court is located, and it is also where the royal family is located.
On Tianyong City, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is rich, comparable to some secret realms, and it is located above the imperial capital, suppressing Dayuan's human destiny.
Any weapon that can suppress luck is a powerful spiritual weapon.
And Tianyong City's ability to suppress the fate of the thirteen states and trillions of people in the Great Yuan Dynasty completely transcends the category of spiritual weapons. "
Hearing this, Lu Yun was shocked. This city in the sky was indeed a spiritual weapon.
No, it is an existence above the spiritual weapon.
Above the spiritual weapon is the Taoist weapon.
Thinking that this city in the sky was an extremely powerful Taoist weapon, Lu Yun couldn't help but reveal a fiery color in the corners of his eyes.
"Brother, you must not have any evil intentions, otherwise even a powerful person will die without a burial place."
Qin Feng reminded from the side that he had already jumped off his mount.
Lu Yun nodded slightly and did not explain.
Immediately, the two of them walked towards the imperial capital.
