Chapter 976, Fame Spreads Far and Wide

Translator: Silavin

 

The enormous city rose from the ground, reaching towards the Heavens like a Great Wall, and yet also resembling a Colossal Dragon, imposing and magnificent in its grandeur.

 

It stood like the Guardian Dragon of the Human Race, coiled in position, blocking all invaders from the outside, making it impossible for them to advance even a single step.

 

Some said that Saints Heavenly City was transformed from a Colossal Dragon.

 

Because no one could have constructed such a magnificent city.

 

Its walls had endured countless attacks from Foreign Races, countless storms and harsh weather, yet remained without any wear. Upon them, one could not even see traces of time.

 

Others said that Ancestor Hongjun had passed on, his body transforming into the city, still protecting the Human Race.

 

These legends could not be verified though.

 

However, Saints Heavenly City had become famous across the continent, because one could say that it was absolutely one of the most impregnable cities on the continent.

 

Moreover, without this city standing here, the Human Race would have long been conquered by the Foreign Races.

 

Qin Yichen’s gaze settled on the Dragon’s head.

 

That place, which resembled a Dragon raising its head, was precisely where the Human Race’s supreme residence was located: the Saints Heavenly City!

 

“Let’s go.” He called out to the others, who were still in a state of shock, and took the lead in walking towards Saints Heavenly City.

 

[Saints Heavenly City, I’ve arrived!]

 

Only upon reaching beneath Saints Heavenly City could one truly appreciate the height and magnificence of this city.

 

Standing below the city, they seemed as insignificant as ants.

 

“Heavens, how on earth are we supposed to climb up there?” Chen Hui lifted his head, gazing at the city walls that soared into the clouds, muttering to himself.

 

The walls reached tens of thousands of metres high, solid as metal, with various Restrictions inscribed both inside and outside the city. Below the Saint Realm, one could not even fly within the city.

 

Even those at the Saint Realm would be affected, unable to bypass the city.

 

To break through those Restrictions, one would need to destroy the entire city.

 

However, to completely destroy Saints Heavenly City, only those supreme beings from hundreds of thousands of years ago. Only Human Deities could accomplish such a feat.

 

The group safely entered Saints Heavenly City. A spacious street and endless rows of shops appeared before them. In that street, dense crowds mingled with clamorous voices, forming a massive wave of sound that spread out and shot straight into the clouds.

 

“Truly worthy of being Saints Heavenly City.” Gazing at this magnificent city and its bustling crowds, Qin Yichen could not help but silently praise it.

 

“Let’s head to the Sacred Land’s residence first.” A flash of shock also passed through Mu Yanfeng’s eyes. After steadying his mind for a moment, he spoke.

 

After passing through several extremely long streets and turning several corners, a sprawling residence covering several acres appeared before Qin Yichen and the others.

 

This residence was exceptionally vast. Above the imposing entrance gate, the two characters ‘太昊’ (Brillant Sky) were inscribed in flowing, elegant script.

 

Outside the residence, a squad of well-equipped guards stood like door gods before the main entrance.

 

“Amazing…” Looking at the architecture before them and those guards with formidable auras, Chen Hui could not help but click his tongue in amazement.

 

Regarding this, Qin Yichen and the others could only smile bitterly. Although this residence appeared extremely spacious, they knew that the residences of other Sacred Lands in Saints Heavenly City were far larger than this. The strength of a Sacred Land determined how much territory they could possess in Saints Heavenly City!

 

“Before long, our Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s residence will be ten times this size!” Mu Yanfeng glanced at Qin Yichen and Feng Qianxue, his heart filled with confidence. Immediately afterwards, the group walked straight towards the residence.

 

“Sacred Master Candidate Qin, Sacred Master Candidate Mu!” As the two took out their Divine Jade, a somewhat elderly man emerged from within the residence, respectfully welcoming them inside.

 

And as Qin Yichen and the others entered the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s residence, in some of the surrounding buildings, concealed figures quietly slipped away.

 

“Junior Brother Qin, you truly attract attention wherever you go.” After entering the residence, Mu Yanfeng said with a teasing smile.

 

Those people hiding near the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s residence were undoubtedly spies from various Major Forces. When they entered the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s residence, this information would likely be transmitted to the various Major Forces immediately.

 

After all, in such a short time, the matter of Qin Yichen slaying Chen Feng, along with the Phoenix Martial Soul incident, had already spread far and wide.

 

Countless people had come seeking fame, wanting to witness these two individuals’ prowess. Of course, there were also numerous proud and arrogant geniuses who wanted to use this momentum to make these two a stepping stone for their own rise to fame.

 

After all, the news that Qin Yichen was merely at the Late Stage Martial Emperor Realm was no longer any secret.

 

And the Phoenix Martial Soul naturally made the eyes of countless Top Forces brighten. Many important figures secretly calculated that even if they could not recruit her, if they could have Disciples under their tutelage establish contact with her and develop a romantic relationship, that would be excellent as well.

 

According to rumours, Qin Yichen was the lover of that Phoenix Martial Soul woman…

 

Once this news spread, Qin Yichen immediately became the target of countless hostile intentions.

 

However, Qin Yichen was completely oblivious to this. He naively thought that this was merely the commotion caused by the Chen Feng incident.

 

Or perhaps, he had long grown accustomed to this feeling of being watched by peculiar gazes.

 

“Junior Brother Qin, there are still seven days before Saints Heavenly City opens the Heaven Stairway. During this time, you should rest in the residence.”

 

Mu Yanfeng said with some concern.

 

After all, this was Saints Heavenly City, where countless Hidden Dragons and Crouching Tigers resided. Even among the younger generation, there were quite a few experts no weaker than these Sacred Master Candidates.

 

And within other top Sacred Lands and those three Transcendent Forces, there would definitely be genius figures even more outstanding than them!

 

“Senior Brother Mu, since we’ve already come, how could we not experience the atmosphere of Saints Heavenly City?” However, contrary to Mu Yanfeng’s expectations, the usually low-key Qin Yichen shook his head with a smile and said, “Moreover, does Senior Brother Mu think that if we don’t go out, no one will come looking for trouble?”

 

“Haha, I’ve heard that Sacred Master Candidate Qin, who slew that fellow Chen Feng, has arrived. I wonder if you might show yourself!” Just as Qin Yichen’s words finished, from outside the gate came a booming laugh that rumbled like thunder, echoing from afar.

 

Hearing this voice, everyone’s brows furrowed. The degree of Yuan Energy contained within this voice was formidable. It had likely already reached the Late Stage Martial Ancestor Realm!

 

“The Sacred Master Candidates should rest at ease. This old one can handle such matters.” At this moment, the elderly man who had welcomed them smiled faintly and prepared to walk outside.

 

This was, after all, Saints Heavenly City. In Saints Heavenly City, even those Top Forces would not dare violate the rules and intrude upon a Sacred Land’s residence.

 

“Master Uncle, there’s no need to trouble yourself with such trivial matters. Just let him in.” However, just as the elder was about to leave, Qin Yichen stopped him.
