Chapter 505: Heavenly Abyss Divine Gate! Extraterritorial Demon!
It was not until Jiang Che's dragon chariot completely disappeared into the void that Chen Pingfang, who had fallen into silence, came back to his senses, and a slightly self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, he just realized why Jiang Che showed some hesitation in the face of his request for a fight. It turned out that the gap between them was already so large that it was insurmountable.
It might take only a breath for the other party to suppress him.
This was not because he overestimated Jiang Che, but because the four dragons had to give him the impression he had now.
He could feel the horror of the four dragons. They were definitely the existence of the top demon king level, which was comparable to the venerable of the Yuanshen realm. Jiang Che was able to subdue the four dragons to pull his chariot.
What is their strength? Do I need to say more?
He didn't need to say more, the mount was already speaking for him.
Of course, although Chen Ping was a little self-deprecating, he was not hit, otherwise he would not be able to become the most outstanding disciple of Tianjian Mountain in this generation, because he knew that he was probably not Jiang Che's opponent long before the fight.
The reason for the fight was just to have a goal to catch up with.
But now it seems that he can't catch up with this goal in a short time. Even if he catches up, will Jiang Che stop making progress?
After a moment of silence, he had only one thought in his mind at this moment.
Being able to stand with a peerless genius like Jiang Che is both his luck and his misfortune.
Jiang Che now has completely surpassed this generation of warriors, and his goal is directly aimed at the previous generation. He even thinks that he may be among the sword cultivators under the Martial Saint of Tianjian Mountain.
Only the uncle who ranks in the top three of the Fengyun List and is known as the Sword Demon can suppress Jiang Che.
Unfortunately, he was ordered to garrison the island and could not return to Tianyuan City, otherwise, he might be able to witness a grand event.
Above the boundless sea, four dragons turned the clouds and passed through the sea of clouds, while Jiang Che continued to ask Ji Chengdao some questions about cultivation.
As for what happened just now, he had already forgotten it.
Chen Ping is indeed good, and can be called a genius, but now he is far from being his opponent, and the gap between the two will become larger and larger as time goes by.
For some reason, Jiang Che found that Ji Chengdao seemed to value him more and more. Not only did he answer all his questions, but he also took the initiative to tell him some of Yao Yue's little thoughts.
He even didn't care about his usurpation at all.
He treated him as a younger generation disciple.
Although he didn't know the specific reason, the guidance of the world's number one person was no less than a great opportunity for him, so Jiang Che cherished time very much at this moment.
Not only did he ask a lot of questions about cultivation, but he also asked about the current world situation and some secrets of the rivers and lakes, and Ji Chengdao answered all of them.
Jiang Che even wanted to slow down the speed of the dragon. He still had many questions to ask, but unfortunately, the island was only a few thousand miles away from the real Tianyuan City.
It took only half a day to reach the destination.
At the beginning, Jiang Che thought that Shenghai City was the largest city in the world and a holy place in the minds of warriors, but when he arrived in Beijing, he found that Shenghai City could only be ranked second.
The real first city in the Central Plains is Beijing, which is a large city that can accommodate millions of people.
But when Jiang Che arrived at Tianyuan City, he found that the capital Shenghai City was not good enough in front of Tianyuan City. This is not to say that Tianyuan City occupies a large area.
It is because Tianyuan City is not on the ground or on an island, but stands in the void.
The surrounding fog is full of murderous aura. A city gate that can't see the end is blocking the void, more than hundreds of feet high, like the end of the sky.
It is so wide that it is daunting at first sight.
It is shocking to look at it. A simple and magnificent momentum suddenly rushes to the face, like an eternal Great Wall, blocking the danger outside Tianyuan and leaving peace inside Tianyuan.
It seemed as if one could see the splendor and glory of this divine pass at a glance.
It seemed that no matter how terrifying the threats from foreign races were, they were vulnerable in front of this Tianyuan Divine City.
On the city gate, stood a huge statue of the Vermillion Bird, flapping its wings and looking lifelike. Under the city gate, eighteen divine pillars stood between heaven and earth, as if supporting the sky.
On the city wall, statues stood solemnly, exuding an ancient and powerful aura.
At this moment, Jiang Che had only one thought in his mind.
Magnificent!
Magnificent!
Vast!
Majestic!
It was even difficult to describe in words. It was definitely the most imposing city gate Jiang Che had ever seen in his life, like a ferocious beast with its bloody mouth open.
Teams of soldiers in black armor stood on the city wall like ghosts wandering in the abyss.
It was obvious that the four dragons had not seen Tianyuan City for the first time. Although it was not a city gate, they had definitely seen it before. At this moment, they all lowered their heads and were no longer as reckless as before.
On the dragon chariot, Ji Chengdao stood in front, as if he was the only one who could control the city. His aura was as vast as the sea of smoke, as if he had turned into a mountain. The cold wind was howling, mixed with roars that merged into the world.
It seemed that countless world-shaking battles had taken place here.
Jiang Che stood beside Ji Chengdao, and his heart was in turmoil.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The sound of several war drums resounded through the world, as if a war was about to begin. The aura of killing suddenly increased, and in front of Jiang Che and Ji Chengdao, all the gray mist began to dissipate.
On the eighteen sacred pillars in front of the city gate, lines flashed one after another. A simple gate with a height of a hundred feet was slowly raised, and then, several figures walked out of Tianyuan City.
The leader was wearing a first-grade official robe, with slightly gray hair, and his face was full of traces of time, as if he had experienced a long period of wind and frost, but his eyes contained a light that was difficult to look directly at.
No, three eyes to be exact.
Above his eyebrows, there was a horizontal black divine eye. Although he had not opened it at the moment, Jiang Che could feel the terrifying aura on that person.
For a moment, a name appeared in Jiang Che's mind.
At that time, the first-rank Shangzhu Kingdom, the Duke of the Kingdom, the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, and the Lord of Tianyuan City, had been in charge of Tianyuan for hundreds of years, and the arm of the Great Zhou Dynasty was Taishi Wen Tianzhong.
He is even recognized by Ji Chengdao as a peerless powerhouse today. Although he has never been on the Supreme Saint List, Ji Chengdao has mentioned him before and said that he has the strength of the top ten on the Saint List.
Although his status in the court is not as good as that of the God King Ji Chengdao, he is definitely the number one person under the God King. He is in charge of Tianyuan's 800,000 heavenly soldiers, and here, he accounts for less than half of the power of the court.
In comparison, the Northland border is not worth mentioning.
Behind Grand Master Wen, there were also several majestic figures standing. Under Jiang Che's perception, they all had the aura of the holy realm and were the terrifying power of the imperial court.
"Grand Master, I haven't seen you for many years. Your style is even better than before."
Ji Chengdao smiled slightly and took the initiative to say hello.
Grand Master Wen's strength is not as good as his, but his seniority is far superior to his, and he has been in Tianyuan for hundreds of years, which can even be traced back to the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
He holds the whip that beats the king, which can beat the faint king at the top and the rebellious ministers at the bottom.
The authority is not under him.
It's just that because he has lived overseas in Tianyuan for a long time, he has no sense of presence at the center of the imperial court. No one takes the initiative to mention him on weekdays. Even the emperor's impression of him is only the one he saw when he became emperor.
"Just come and enter the city."
Wen Taishi's voice was thick, as if he was shouldering some heavy responsibility. His eyes swept over Ji Chengdao and Jiang Che, and some of the burden seemed to be relieved from their faces.
Ji Chengdao's arrival is undoubtedly the best news for Tianyuan at present.
Others don't know the details of Ji Chengdao, but Taishi Wen knows that he is definitely the most powerful person in the imperial court. He controls Tianyuan, and Ji Chengdao guards the capital. Both inside and outside, they have stabilized the country of Great Zhou Dynasty.
As for Jiang Che, he also recognized him at a glance, but this time Tianyuan City was under too much pressure, so he had no intention of valuing the younger generation and just nodded inconspicuously.
Ji Chengdao had no objection, and with a slight movement of his feet, the four dragons raised their heads, and their body instantly shrank by more than half, turning into more than thirty feet, and led Jiang Che and Ji Chengdao into the Suzaku Gate.
The moment he stepped into the Suzaku Gate, Jiang Che also felt an inexplicable pressure sweeping over him. However, he had a guess in his heart and knew that it was Tianyuan City's formation that was investigating, so he did not show any signs of it. Something strange happened.
Entering Tianyuan City, Jiang Che's impression was overturned again.
This place seems to be like another world, containing extremely magnificent buildings, palaces stretching to no end, and figures flying in the sky.
On the ground, there were many soldiers in armor patrolling.
Not prosperous, but chilling.
It can be seen at a glance that this is a border gate. The ground is paved with black stones, and there are even some blood stains on it. The arrival of Jiang Che and others also attracted countless eyes.
Not only were the war drums beating before and the Taishi personally welcomed him, but also because Jiang Che's four-headed dragon mount was so impressive, just like an emperor making a patrol, which made people involuntarily feel awe.
Next to the wide streets, there are restaurants, military stores, and all kinds of things that are the same as in ordinary cities, but there are fewer people and no one is making a lot of noise.
It seems that he is just venting his emotions silently.
Wen Taishi led the way, and the group did not stop too much. After crossing dozens of miles, they finally arrived at the center of Tianyuan City, a huge palace located in the city.
It is hundreds of feet tall, almost as high as the city wall of Tianyuan City. When it comes to majesty, Jiang Che feels that it may be inferior to the emperor's Fengtian Palace. There are several ancient characters carved on the palace.
Tianyuan Hall.
In front of the main hall, there are more soldiers standing, and their cultivation levels are not low, or at least at the innate level. In the outside world, they may dominate a county and have a high status in a government.
But in Tianyuan City, only guards are qualified.
Of course, I would rather be a temple dog than a mortal.
Although many people have died in Tianyuan City, it also contains a large amount of cultivation resources. Not only are they provided unconditionally by the imperial court, but there are also battlefields outside the territory that can be seized.
As long as he doesn't die, he can eventually reach a certain level through the experience of blood and fire.
The group of people remained silent until they entered Tianyuan Hall, and the atmosphere changed slightly. It was obvious that Ji Chengdao had a very high status, and Grand Master Wen did not even take the main seat.
Instead, he sat opposite Ji Chengdao.
The rest of the powerful ones are divided into four directions. As for Jiang Che, he can only be ranked at the last position. This is not because of his low cultivation level. In fact, even if he is as strong as Tianyuan City, his appearance is not everywhere.
Those who can reach the level of Grand Master are all Tianyuan Divine Generals and hold certain military power. If Jiang Che is willing to subordinate himself to Tianyuan City, he can even be regarded as the person with the highest status under the Martial Saint.
The reason why it is ranked at the bottom is that the current level in Tianyuan is too high.
Not to mention Ji Chengdao and Wen Taishi, the other four are also at the level of martial saints, with a fierce aura of iron and blood, like a ferocious beast in human form.
The fact that he was able to sit at a table with these people was entirely due to Ji Chengdao's credit.
For example, the table in front of everyone is filled with the finest delicacies and spirits, which would make the Master Yuanshen jealous if exposed to the outside world. The meat is made of the flesh and blood of the demon saint, and contains extremely surging energy and blood.
"How's the situation?"
Ji Chengdao picked up a glass of spiritual wine and took a sip.
"It's not optimistic." Grand Master Wen shook his head slowly. He seemed to still have a heavy burden on him, and sighed softly:
"In terms of soldiers and horses, there are less than 600,000 combatable soldiers left. The battle last month was a serious loss, even with the assistance of Taoist soldiers and formations.
But I couldn't bear the large-scale invasion of the demon clan and mobilized too many demon soldiers. Several small clans were even nearly killed by our Tianyuan City in the previous war.
And this is not the most dangerous thing. The most dangerous thing is that Tianyuan's restraining power is getting weaker and weaker. The power left by Taizu has been consumed too much. Although there are magic techniques that can draw demon blood.
But it's still not enough. According to the current situation, at most there will be a few battles, and the Tianyuan Restriction may be forcibly broken. Now, the top demon king under the demon clan's demon saint.
They can all use treasures to forcefully break into the Tianyuan Restriction. "
"I already know this." Ji Chengdao nodded slightly, then pointed at Jiang Che and said: "His four dragons are actually beings sent by the Dragon Palace. They sneaked through the turbulent flow of the void and avoided the restriction of Tianyuan."
Wen Taishi's expression changed slightly:
"Is this happening? I'm afraid this is not the only case. Since the Dragon Palace can do it, the other ethnic groups may have also sent many demon kings to sneak into the spiritual realm.
The current situation in the world is not good, will there be monsters adding fuel to the flames? "
"This is very possible, but the imperial court currently does not have much spare time to investigate. I am here to block the demon clan as much as possible." Ji Chengdao said solemnly.
"If you want to stop the demon clan, only the major immortal sects can work together and rely on their foundation to restore Tianyuan's power. Otherwise," Wen Taishi didn't finish his words, but his meaning was already clear.
He had not reported the matter to the court before because he knew that the court could not help much except for a big chaos. The only person who could really make the decision and be capable was Ji Chengdao.
