As for what cargo the caravan was transporting, Chu Xiao did not know.

 

He rarely revealed his identity when he travelled the world so that he could avoid causing trouble. That was the principle his Father had taught him since he was a child. After all, life in the outside world was different from life in the Land of Celestial Suffering. In that aspect, he understood the principle perfectly.

 

“I heard of the Waterfront Chamber in the Purple Return City, and that the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion is located right behind the Waterfront Chamber. When we arrive at the Purple Return City, we must go and have a look.”

 

The outline of an enormous and towering city gate gradually became visible in the distance ahead. Flowing with a hazy and chaotic light, the city gate resembled an indestructible mountain.

 

When Chu Xiao caught sight of the city gate, he spread his folding fan and suggested with a big smile.

 

The Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion was an extremely famous ancient Force in the Primary Hope Civilisation that had always accepted female disciples only. They placed great emphasis on having short cultivation periods because one should enjoy life when they could.

 

On the other hand, the Waterfront Chamber was a romantic spot under the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. Female disciples of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion could often be seen there to cultivate their hearts and minds.

 

Upon hearing that statement, the servant next to Chu Xiao looked excited. He naturally enjoyed an array of benefits from following Chu Xiao. In fact, he might even get a chance to enjoy some ‘meat’ on occasion.

 

The Purple Return City was unimaginably majestic. Like an ancient star filled with life, the city stood tall amidst the wild and primitive land. Celestial Mist steamed in the surroundings. Thanks to the numerous lakes scattered in the vicinity, the colourful mist lingered and filled the city with auspicious scenes.

 

Meanwhile, the interior of the city was extremely spacious. There were towering buildings everywhere. Many ancient mystic mountains stood tall in the depths of the city, obscured by light. Silver waterfalls poured down as though they had descended from the Nine Heavens.

 

A large number of cultivators came and went down the ancient street. At the same time, carriages and ancient beasts carrying various goods could also be seen among the crowd.

 

“Brother Gu’s Master must be extraordinary. How else could he have taught somebody like you, Brother Gu? If I get the chance, I should definitely visit him.”

 

At this moment, a number of people were rushing down the widest ancient street in the middle of the Purple Return City’s main city.

 

The person who spoke earlier was a tall and handsome man in long purple robes. He wore a purple-gold crown, which made him seem imposing and impressive. A dense purple mist flashed through his eyes from time to time, giving him a rather strange and foreign appearance.

 

There were many men and women of similar age following behind this man. They were his followers. Some were from the Human Race, and some were from other Races. However, their auras were exceptionally powerful. Even the weakest among them was in the Immortal King Realm.

 

Needless to say, these men and women were already more than several million years old even though they looked very young. It was just that they were younger than most cultivators in their respective cultivation realms. They were considered the cream of the crop among the younger generation.

 

The man in purple robes had an air of nobility about him. Nevertheless, he was kind and polite as he spoke to the young man in white next to him with a smile.

 

“My Master is not worth mentioning. On the contrary, I was surprised by the fact that you come from Purple Sky Mountain, Brother Zi. You have never mentioned anything to me before. If I had not come to the Purple Return City, I would have been kept in the dark forever.”

 

The young man in white was taller and slimmer than the man in purple robes. His black hair gleamed like crystals, and his figure was absolutely divine. Meanwhile, his facial features were so handsome that they looked as though they had been carved out of jade. Even women would be envious of his beauty.

 

He returned the smile and responded in a joking manner.

 

“That’s ridiculous, Brother Gu. My identity is nothing. If you had not saved me back then, I would have died by now.”

 

When the man in purple robes heard the joking statement, he shook his head and laughed. Be that as it may, a deeply concealed look of pride flashed through his eyes for a moment.

 

His name was Zi Yunchuan. As a Core Disciple of Purple Sky Mountain, he held an extremely noble status. Not to mention, his Mother was the Granddaughter of the current Sect Master of the Purple Sky Mountain.

 

Purple Sky Mountain was one of the Supreme Forces in the Primary Hope Civilisation. Only certain Forces like the Primary Hope Holy Church, the Endless Beasts Territory, and the Imperial Celestial Palace could match the strength of Purple Sky Mountain. Therefore, his status was indeed worthy of pride.

 

Among the disciples of Purple Sky Mountain, his strength and talent could be ranked in the top five. Few people could compete against him in these aspects. It was basically impossible to find another person with a comparable status in the Purple Return City. Despite that, he was very polite and respectful towards the young man in white.

 

Although the other party seemed to be considerably younger than him, the young man in white possessed such unfathomable strength that he could not grasp just how powerful the other party was. He even suspected that the young man in white might already be a young Immortal Emperor.

 

Needless to say, they had not known each other for long. It could be said that they only met by sheer coincidence.

 

The reason why Zi Yunchuan came to the Purple Return City was naturally to participate in the Thousand Treasures Secret Domain that recently reemerged.

 

During the journey to the Zi Yunchuan, he and his followers encountered an extremely rare type of Spacetime Rift. As a result, they almost lost their lives by falling into the Spacetime Rift.

 

The Spacetime Rift they encountered was not a simple Spacetime Rift. On the other side of the Spacetime Rift was probably a lawless strange land that only appeared in legends. Any rule or order would become invalid there. Regardless of how powerful they were or how many defensive Artifacts they had on them, everything would become useless there. Therefore, they would have been trapped inside for the rest of their lives.

 

Zi Yunchuan did not know why he was so unlucky as to encounter the kind of Spacetime Rift that was rumoured to only appear once every few million years. There was no time to call out to his Protectors. Half his body had already fallen into the Spacetime Rift before he could react.

 

Seeing that he was about to be swallowed by the Spacetime Rift, he fell into despair. At that critical moment, the young man in white had suddenly appeared from a distance and rescued him at the risk of falling into the Spacetime Rift.

 

Afterwards, Zi Yunchuan and the others were naturally immensely grateful. They were also very curious about the origins of the young man in white.

 

To be able to rescue them under such dangerous circumstances, the other party must possess extraordinary strength. However, Zi Yunchuan did not ask too many questions. Answering those questions would involve exposing the other party’s secrets after all.

 

Who in the world did not have secrets? The other party had not hesitated to step forward and save them. He even had to pay a hefty price for his heroic actions. Several extremely rare and precious treasures had been destroyed in the process.

 

Zi Yunchuan had not forgotten the kindness he received from the other party.

 

Afterwards, he learned that the mysterious young man in white had the surname ‘Gu’. The other party was also travelling in the same direction as them, heading towards the Purple Return City to enter the Thousand Treasures Secret Domain. Hence, he decided to travel together.

 

That was how the current scene came to be.
