When he was strong enough, he would go to the Serene Hell Mansion's Prefecture City. Only through the Teleportation Formation would he have the opportunity to go to the Sword Spirit Imperial Domain. Hopefully, his cultivation would be above the Divine Martial Realm by then.
After bidding farewell to the old man and the young man, Long Chen asked around in the Scarlet Sun City and roughly knew the location of the Sky Martial Relay Station.
However, the Scarlet Sun City was a bit big and one couldn't walk too fast in the city. Long Chen walked for half a day before arriving at the Sky Martial Relay Station at the West City Gate. Previously, he had entered from the East City Gate. On the way, he had almost passed through the Scarlet Sun City.
When he arrived, he asked around and roughly knew the location of the so-called Sky Martial Relay Station. It was a tall building, and the tiles on the roof were dark green. When the sun shone down, it reflected a dazzling radiance. Long Chen followed the crowd and walked through the wide door. There were quite a lot of people inside, and it was bustling with activity. It was filled with all sorts of noises.
Most of the people who came here were martial artists who wanted to travel together. There were also some caravans or rich people who were recruiting guards for a long journey. After Long Chen walked around the crowd, he realized that it was better to go to the Spirit Main City with other people. It had to be said that the competition between the three great Imperial Domains was too intense. Unless it was in the city, as long as it was outside the city, it was very common for people to kill each other as soon as they met.
However, after asking around, Long Chen learned that most of these people were going to other cities. There weren't many who were going to the Spirit Imperial City. After all, most of the people who could go to the Spirit Imperial City had some strength, so they didn't need to travel together.
"Boy, with your strength of the fourth level of the Heaven Martial Realm, it's better for you to stay here. If you wander around outside, you might lose your life."
A group of people was discussing. When they saw Long Chen approaching, one of them said with a smile.
In that place, the strongest should be in the sixth level of the Heaven realm. As for the seventh level of the Heaven realm, that was already the level of the Netherworld Army. Other than the Netherworld Army, it was not commonly seen.
Long Chen laughed. He didn't kill anyone just because they didn't agree. He had already suffered enough from underestimation. Underestimating the enemy was the devil in his heart. Sooner or later, he would destroy himself. Even if Long Chen didn't care about him, he would still die because of his underestimation.
Suddenly, Long Chen noticed a place where a lot of people were gathered. When he squeezed through, he saw that there was an elegant private room in front of him. In that private room sat a young girl.
The girl had a tranquil smile on her face, but her eyes were very sharp. She swept her gaze across the crowd, and in her hand was a wooden tablet. She placed it on the ground, and there were a few large words written on it.
The general meaning of the wooden tablet was that they were recruiting guards to protect someone. Their target was the main city of Specters. The reward was one thousand five hundred imperial crystals. The cultivation limit was that they had to be in the sixth level of the Heaven realm or above, and the number of people was limited to ten.
The distance between the main city of Specters and the Scarlet Sun City was a bit far, and because there were too many strong cultivators in the main city of Specters, ordinary cultivators below the sixth level of the Heaven realm didn't dare to go there. The reward of one thousand five hundred imperial crystals was equivalent to half of the wealth of a cultivator in the sixth level of the Heaven realm. On the way, there would definitely be a lot of dangers, so the reward could only be considered slightly higher.
For the sake of the one thousand five hundred imperial crystals, in addition to the fact that the young girl had a beautiful appearance, she was tranquil and natural, and she had the elegant demeanor of a capable woman. She was neat and tidy. Many cultivators in the sixth level of the Heaven realm and in the Celestial Martial Relay Station, there weren't many cultivators in the sixth level of the Heaven realm. But very quickly, there were almost ten people.
"She's able to take out so much money, and she's only at the seventh Heaven Realm. And now, she's protecting someone in the Specter Main City. Why does it feel so strange?"
Long Chen didn't care. He didn't know the way to the main city of Specters, and he didn't want to miss a team that was going to the main city of Specters. If there was any trouble, he could just use the Blood Escape Technique to escape.
Besides, he could also make friends and familiarize himself with the three great Imperial Domains so that he wouldn't give himself away in the future. Lingxi wasn't there, and Mo Xiaolang had also left. Now, Long Chen was actually very lonely. Apart from a Kitten who only knew how to boast, he had nothing.
Only with strength could he get everything back.
Long Chen glanced at the young woman. She was wearing a dark-green long skirt. Even though she wasn't very beautiful, she looked very capable and experienced. She should be a manager of some influential force, otherwise, she wouldn't have such a temperament.
After making up his mind, Long Chen walked in that direction. The people who were going to the main city of Specters were all in the sixth level of the Heaven realm. Long Chen was going alone, which immediately attracted the attention of the crowd. At that moment, the young woman had already recruited six guards.
Long Chen's aura could be roughly determined to be around the third or fourth level of the Heaven realm through various senses and observations. There was still quite a bit of distance from the sixth level of the Heaven realm that the young girl requested.
"What is he going to do?"
"Is he illiterate? Doesn't he know that the young woman wants to be in the sixth level of the Heaven realm?"
Long Chen's actions caused a wave of discussion among the crowd.
Only after hearing those discussions did the young woman cast her gaze at Long Chen. Even though the young woman still had a smile on her face, Long Chen felt an ice-cold gaze searching his body, as if it wanted to dissect him.
In her gaze, Long Chen wasn't timid in the slightest. Expressionless, he directly walked in front of the young woman and stood at a place that was only one meter away from her.
"Fourth level of the Heaven realm, what are you doing here?" The young woman started to speak. Her voice was like a nightingale and it was very pleasant to listen to.
Long Chen didn't want to talk nonsense, so he said, "Don't just believe your eyes. If someone in the sixth level of the Heaven realm isn't a match for me, can I join?"
Long Chen's words caused the crowd to start discussing spiritedly.
"What does he mean?"
"Does he mean that his battle prowess is comparable to the sixth level of the Heaven realm?"
"It can't be. The Heaven realm has a huge difference of one level. How can he defeat a martial artist in the sixth level of the Heaven realm?"
"He's just an idiot who talks big just to show off. Don't look, there's nothing to see."
Even though the others said that, the young woman seemed to be very interested in Long Chen. She frowned and looked at Long Chen for a while, then said, "Are you sure what you said is the truth? Don't regret it."
"I said it so that you can try."
Long Chen took a few steps back and looked straight into the young woman's eyes. Looking at the young woman's appearance, it seemed that she wanted to attack him.
The young woman suddenly chuckled. She waved her hand and said, "Fine, I'll let you in. This Sky Martial Relay Station isn't a place for fighting. If you have real strength, just show it to me on the way to the main city of specters. If you don't have the sixth level of the Heaven realm, I won't give you the 1500 imperial crystals."
Since he didn't need to fight, Long Chen didn't care. He cupped his hands and smiled, "Many thanks."
"No need to thank me. Call me Miss Ji."
The young woman smiled sweetly, then sat down on her seat. She made an inviting gesture. Long Chen followed her instructions and sat down next to the group of cultivators in the sixth level of the Heaven realm.
"No way. That's even possible."
"She's clearly throwing the match."
Originally, they thought that the young woman would test Long Chen's strength. Then, the boy who wanted to take advantage of her would be sent flying. But the result was completely different from what they had imagined. Just like that, Long Chen was muddle-headed and directly added to the group.
Such a good thing, the others were a bit unwilling to accept it.
"Miss, didn't you say that you're in the sixth level of the Heaven realm? I'm in the fifth level of the Heaven realm. Why can't I? That boy is only in the fourth level of the Heaven realm," said a robust man unwillingly. He had just been rejected.
"But you didn't say that you were in the sixth level of the Heaven realm. He said that. Alright, this is an exception. Don't do it again."
Although Miss Ji was smiling, her tone was cold. After being glanced at by her, the big man didn't know what else to say.
After Long Chen sat down, the other cultivators in the sixth level of the Heaven realm were unwilling.
"Why can a cultivator in the fourth level of the Heaven realm take the same amount of Emperor Crystals as us? If there was a battle, what use can a trifling cultivator in the fourth level of the Heaven realm do? He would still be killed."
"I can't accept it."
Some of them muttered in low voices. They all had some opinions about Long Chen. But, that was Miss Ji's own idea. They became her guards, so they didn't directly say it to Miss Ji.
However, their seats were all moved away from Long Chen.
It was as if leaning together with Long Chen was a disgrace to them.
After bringing Long Chen in, Miss Ji didn't look at him anymore. She was silently waiting for the others to sign up. Originally, there were seven people, including Long Chen. Very quickly, three more people came. Miss Ji put away her wooden tablet.
Looking at the ten guards, Miss Ji was just about to give them instructions when a young man came over and said, "I heard that the requirement for the guards to go to the Specter Capital City is the sixth Tian Qi layer or above, is that right? My name is Luo Wei."
It was a tall and skinny young man. His skin was slightly green. He looked a bit gloomy and cold. His body was also emitting a gloomy and cold Qi. When that young man came over, the others all took a few steps back. It could be seen that the young man's reputation in the Scarlet Sun City was quite resounding.
"I'm sorry. Look, we're already full," said Miss Ji with a sweet smile. She spread her hands and said helplessly.
Everyone knew that her helplessness was just an act.
"Full? That's simple," said Luo Wei indifferently.
Luo Wei spoke in an indifferent tone. His expression was very indifferent as he swept his gaze over the ten people behind Miss Ji. He chose the fiercest looking youth and without another word, he leaped past Miss Ji like a cheetah, pouncing on that youth.
