What surprised him was that he was actually surrounded by a small mountain forest. The trees were all very tall, and they were some ancient trees that Long Chen couldn't name. They were entirely purple and emitted a refreshing fragrance.
Staying in such an environment, he suddenly felt comfortable all over. The reason was that a large amount of Nirvana spiritual energy was emitting from the ground.
Nirvana spiritual energy rose and formed yellow clouds in the sky.
Just by breathing, one could absorb a large amount of Nirvana spiritual energy.
"The 72 Ancient Cities of Divine Descendants are all built near the dragon vein's head. The inner city of the Ancient City of Martial God is the place where the divine dragons of the earth vein raise their heads and absorb Nirvana spiritual energy. For thousands of years, Nirvana spiritual energy has never been cut off, and it is precisely because of this that the divine bloodline families are so powerful." The 18 divine dragons turned into 18 old men in front of him.
Long Chen looked up and saw that the entire mountain and river was emitting a large amount of Nirvana spiritual energy. If one could cultivate in this place, the effect would definitely be countless times better. No wonder so many people yearned for the Ancient City of Divine Descendants so much. One must know that Nirvana spiritual energy was the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that could be directly transformed into Nirvana Power. It was the highest level of spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Compared to the spiritual energy of the collapsing Dragon Sacrificial Continent, this was the true heaven. No wonder the people here called the Dragon Sacrificial Continent a lower realm.
For the Dragon Sacrificial Continent, this was the heavenly palace, the place where the gods lived.
The entire Eternal Sacred Territory was full of experts, and there were no commoners.
With the gathering of Nirvana spiritual energy, Long Chen could make great progress with just a raise of his hand. His cultivation speed would probably be a hundred times faster.
And this endless mountain forest was the inner city of the Ancient City of Martial God. It was filled with dense immortal qi. At a glance, even the purple trees had several immortal patterns. All the plants and trees in the entire inner city were probably immortal essences. Back then, the Snow Lotus Immortal Spirit Pool next to Lingxi's little building had already surprised Long Chen, let alone this place.
But the world had levels. Perhaps it was really very common here.
In the depths of the mountain forest, there was a small courtyard surrounded by bamboo. It was elegant and fragrant. It was Su Yuyao's father, the third son of the Ancient City of Martial God's City Lord, Su Zhen.
Su Yuyao had already left. Otherwise, if she saw Long Chen appear, they would definitely fight.
"Follow me to see His Lord. He already knows of your existence. You can call him Mr. Su." One of the Golden Dragons took Long Chen to the small courtyard in the middle of the bamboo forest.
The bamboo forest was the Heavenly Flute Jade Bamboo.
All of them were immortal essences. Some only had two or three segments, which meant two or three immortal marks. Some had more than ten segments, which was comparable to the one Long Chen had obtained, which had more than ten immortal marks.
"In such a place where the Nirvana spiritual energy is erupting non-stop, it shouldn't be surprising for so many Immortal Spirits to grow." Long Chen had seen many things that surprised him. The higher the level, the calmer his heart.
He reckoned that the entire forest in the inner city was probably made up of immortal essences and dao artifacts.
Along the quiet path, they walked to the courtyard that was filled with the fragrance of books. The Golden Dragon knelt at the entrance of the courtyard. As he knelt, he said, "My Lord, I have brought Long Chen here."
It was because of the existence of Su Zhen, a Samsara Realm warrior, that Long Chen didn't dare to use Time Roaming Dragon to escape.
He reckoned that this Su Zhen was more than a little stronger than someone like the Wind Dragon Stream Master.
Given Long Chen's current level, using Time Roaming Dragon might not be able to escape the other party's eyes.
If Su Yuyao didn't have someone like Su Zhen backing her up, Long Chen wouldn't have let her off in the cave. After he killed Qin Fengxue, even the Wind Dragon Stream Master could find him within ten days. It was more likely that Su Zhen, or even the entire Martial God Ancient City, could find him.
"Come in."
A gentle and elegant voice rang out in the courtyard, but it wasn't lacking in sternness. It sounded a little like a teacher in a private school.
When Long Chen heard this, he walked into the courtyard. When he passed through the bamboo door, he suddenly felt like he had walked into another world. This must be another Small Cosmos World.
After walking in, the entire courtyard became even more charming. Runes swam in the sky, and there seemed to be countless words swimming around. In this small courtyard, Long Chen felt like he was suffocating. He felt like he had lived several lifetimes in the mortal world, and there were many inexplicable memories in his mind.
"This is … the Heavenly Dao … Samsara …"
Long Chen muttered to himself.
"Chen." Lingxi saw him looking around with a strange expression and reminded him.
Only then did Long Chen come to his senses. He looked at Su Zhen's courtyard in shock. The bamboo door opened gently, and a formless force brought Long Chen into the bamboo house.
At first glance, the furnishings in the bamboo house were not surprising, but upon closer inspection, one would find that there were mysteries hidden within. Regardless of the furnishings, they all contained the Dao of Array, which was unpredictable.
Inside the bamboo house, there were bookshelves all around, and in the middle was a desk. A thin middle-aged man was sitting in front of the desk, reading a book. Seeing Long Chen come in, he closed the book in his hand, then looked at Long Chen and said, "Martial Dao, Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao we cultivate is also the Martial Dao, the Martial God's Dao."
Long Chen knew that this was a peerless powerhouse. He looked at the other party with a calm mind, but found that this man was not extraordinary. What left a deep impression was the mustache on his chin, and the eyes that were like deep pools. The more one stared at his eyes, the more one would be confused, as if there was a deep world in his eyes.
Was he an enemy or a friend?
For the time being, he would treat him as an enemy.
Long Chen knew the rules very well. He cupped his hands and said, "Junior Long Chen greets Mister Su."
The middle-aged man, who was Su Zhen, was still in a trance. He stood up and walked around Long Chen with a strange expression. Finally, he said, "Although the Martial Dao can be learned quickly, and the comprehension of the Divine Martial Realm is inherited, to comprehend it deeply, or even to become a god, is too difficult."
Long Chen had a feeling that under his eyes, he had no secrets at all.
"Mister Su, what instructions do you have for me to come here?" Long Chen tried his best to not care about this guy.
"Mister, I love it when people call me mister. Very good, very good."
Su Zhen returned to the desk and sat down. Then he said, "Welcome to the Ancient City of Martial God. Even I have not seen your inherited essence blood, so you must be a Super Dragon. Also, there is a little girl who obtained the inheritance of the Ethereal Immortal Sect. Let me have a look."
Long Chen consciously protected Lingxi, so he said, "She obtained the Eight Heavenly Swords and the inheritance. I don't know what Mister Su thinks of me, and what do you want me to do?"
He always felt that this Su Zhen was a little strange.
Long Chen did not let Lingxi appear. He seemed to have forgotten about this matter immediately, as if he was in a trance. He opened the black book on the desk and read for a while without eating or sleeping. Then he said, "From today on, you can't leave the Ancient City of Martial God. Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I can find you in ten days. You can try."
Long Chen's expression was still calm, but he took a deep breath in his heart.
This strange man, no matter where I escape to, he can catch me back. He is really so magical.
Just when Long Chen was doubting, he seemed to have read useful information in the book. He smiled and said, "I understand. This magical power turns out to be time."
The Way of Time.
Long Chen was even more shocked.
This was the first person who recognized his Way of Time.
"Since ancient times, I have heard of the Way of Space, the Way of Soul Control, and other magical Ways of Heaven, but I did not expect that someone can also control time. This power may come from your understanding, or from … the inherited essence blood."
As he spoke, he seemed to have forgotten about Long Chen. He was busy in the whole study, and in the end, he was so tired that he sat on the chair. The pupils of his eyes were spinning, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Mister Su, do you have any instructions?"
Anyway, the other party was not willing to let him leave the Ancient City of Martial God, and that was enough. It meant that Long Chen would have to stay here in the future. Although it was very dangerous, under Su Zhen's control, he could not do anything.
He could only improve his strength first.
Su Zhen stood up and said, "There is nothing else. You have just arrived, so you can only start as an outer city disciple. I will arrange for you to go outside. The Ancient City of Martial God will be your future home. You will definitely fall in love here, because this is a family full of glory and mission, a place where the masters gather."
What the hell was this guy thinking?
Long Chen could not understand his jumping thoughts.
However, this made him feel that this person was even more terrifying. In a short time, Long Chen did not dare to try to escape, but the problem was, what was the other party's purpose?
Was it to let him unleash his potential, so that he could help his children seize the position of the ancestral family in the future?
According to the rules of the ancient cities of divine descendants, among the five children of the Ancient City of Martial God, only one could become the new city lord and the new ancestral family, while the other four needed to be assigned to branch families. Just like the princes fighting for power, the strength of the younger generation was indeed very important.
However, Long Chen always felt that it was not that simple.
In a daze, Long Chen left Su Zhen's courtyard.
"What the hell is this foolish thing doing?" Kitten spoke with incomparable disdain.
In the Divine Kingdom, no one knew.
Everyone exchanged glances.
Coming to the Ancient City of Martial God out of the blue, Long Chen also felt a sense of helplessness. If he didn't work hard enough, he would most probably be imprisoned in this place forever, until he could kill this Su Zhen.
It seemed like a long time.
But at least his life was still there.
"Little friend Long Chen, I will bring you to the outer city and arrange for you to stay there. After a few decades, when your strength increases and you make great contributions to the Ancient City of Martial God, you will naturally be promoted and arranged to enter the inner city. At that time, you will be able to assist the three children of the Martial God, and you can be considered to be working with us."
"Yeah, to be able to work for the bloodline of the Martial God is an honor for us. This honor isn't something ordinary people can obtain. The reputation of the Su Clan is pretty good."
