Although it was traversing through the void, it couldn't display its full speed. This was because there were simply too many strange beasts in the sky. Xiao Chen also discovered a few pegasi of the same race.
Seeing the pegasi of the same race, it was also extremely excited, and it constantly let out dragon-like roars.
The outer city of the East Royal City was where many tribes of the East Wasteland gathered. The truly prosperous place was the inner city, which also had the floating island in the void. As for the innermost palace, it wasn't a place that warriors could casually enter. This was because the palace was the residence of an ancient family in the East Royal Region.
Taihao family!
The Taihao family of the Human Emperor had shaken hundreds of worlds, and had presided over the East Wasteland for millions of years. Although Human Emperor Taihao had passed away, the Taihao family he left behind was still comparable to the peak Sovereign families of the human race.
The most famous descendant of the Human Emperor Taihao family was the direct descendant of this generation's Human Emperor Taihao. He was born twenty years ago, and when he was born, the entire East Royal Region's Fate Dragon descended with a divine light of fate, enveloping the entire East Royal City!
Now, it was rumored that the direct descendant of Human Emperor Taihao was not even twenty years old, but he was already a peak Half Step King, and had derived true laws. Relying on the Taihao family's inherited King's Weapon, he had killed thirteen foreign race Half Step King experts outside the Void Hole, and easily escaped from the hands of foreign race kings. His fame had spread far and wide.
Moreover, he was regarded by many warriors of the East Wasteland as the successor of the next Human Emperor, or perhaps the current East Wasteland's second Human Emperor!
This news was also heard by Xiao Chen, who was on the back of the pegasi. Although he didn't release his spiritual power, he knew all these rumors amidst the clamor in the surroundings.
The bloodline of the human race's Human Emperor was a forbidden bloodline, and its miraculousness could be easily imagined!
Facing such a monster, even Xiao Chen could only sigh in admiration. However, he had walked step by step all these years, and his state of mind had long since become incomparably firm. He was once an ant struggling in the Great Wasteland, but today, he had arrived at the East Wasteland's oldest human city.
Experiencing the years of being an ant had also allowed him to understand the vastness of the dragon's sky. He had started out as an insignificant being, but he was ascending to the heavens step by step!
The closer they got to the inner city of the Eastern Imperial City, the more turbulent the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi became. This was because there were too many strange beasts rushing in, causing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to fluctuate.
There were even tornadoes rolling up. Even a Great Monarch would find it difficult to stand in the violent airflow, and could only walk on the ground below.
Apart from that, the void in the sky was constantly being torn apart. Huge beasts were tearing through the void from the depths of the Hole Void.
Every exotic beast had a long flaming tail, which was caused by the friction between the spatial barrier and the void when the exotic beasts tore through the void to enter.
Moreover, through the torn void barrier, in the depths of the endless void, there were hundreds of gigantic creatures, carrying cities of various sizes on their backs, as well as grand and luxurious palaces, breaking through the endless void and descending from the void.
After traversing tens of thousands of miles, Xiao Chen finally saw the floating islands of the Eastern Imperial City. Floating islands of various sizes were floating in the air in a picturesque manner. They were clearly layered, with the big ones being tens of thousands of miles long, and the small ones being only a few miles wide.
These floating islands were densely packed with stone towers, palaces, and pavilions. There was even a group of magnificent palaces, and there were even towering ancient mountains that towered into the void. However, without exception, there was a dense flow of people intersecting with each other.
This was the oldest city in the Eastern Wasteland, the place that all the cultivators in the entire Eastern Wasteland yearned to visit.
Even Xiao Chen held his breath, greedily admiring everything around him. At this moment, he discovered that he was a real country bumpkin.
The human civilization had been flourishing since ancient times. Only here did he understand how magnificent and prosperous the human civilization was.
Xiao Chen's performance naturally attracted the gazes of the surrounding cultivators. In the face of the astonished gazes of the surrounding cultivators, even the little celestial horse sneezed in embarrassment. It quickly carried Xiao Chen away. It was really too embarrassing for a Five Star Sun Chasing Colt.
At this moment, Xiao Chen discovered that the giant starry sky tortoise had stopped on a floating island that was several thousand miles wide. There were countless cultivators coming down from the cities on its back.
Ao Shou!
This floating island was called Ao Shou Floating Island. It was the base of the supreme Ao Shou King Division of the human race in the Eastern Imperial City. And Xiao Chen's destination was also this floating island.
This was because he had learned from the many cultivators that this was the base of the Ao Shou Chamber of Commerce, an external force of the Ao Shou King Division. Since it was a chamber of commerce, there would naturally be barter. Moreover, he had just heard that this giant starry sky tortoise had returned from the Human World's Central Plains.
If the Eastern Imperial City was the center of the entire Eastern Wasteland, then the Central Plains was the center of the entire Human World.
Ta!
Xiao Chen stepped onto the floating island, and the little pegasus returned to its five-foot-long size. It followed beside him, its large golden eyes constantly looking around.
Although there were many cultivators who were curious about the pegasus under Xiao Chen, there were just too many strange beasts in the Eastern Imperial City. There were phoenixes, Roc, serpents, and many other descendants of divine beasts. It could be said that there were countless of them.
On this floating island that belonged to the Ao Shou King Division, there were crisscrossing roads. On both sides of the roads were densely packed houses, as well as all kinds of barter places.
Naturally, these bartering places did not all belong to the Dominator King Tribe. They were places rented by other tribes or warriors. However, to be able to rent a courtyard on the floating island, the cost could not be said to be small.
All kinds of auras converged, and in the next moment, Xiao Chen and the little pegasus blended into the crowd.
His goal was the center of the floating island, where the Dominator King's Chamber of Commerce was stationed. Although there were many Chambers of Commerce from the Supreme King's Division in the East Royal City, he had coincidentally bumped into the Dominator King's Division's giant tortoise that was returning from the Middle Earth.
Although he did not know what kind of status was needed to participate in the Ao Shou King Division's internal trade fair, it was naturally enough with the Marquis Token. He also wanted to see what kind of treasures there were in the Human World's Central Plains.
At the center of the floating island was the base of the Ao Shou King Division. It was an incomparably huge palace. As for the giant starry sky tortoise, it had disappeared. Xiao Chen guessed that it had entered a secret realm.
However, Xiao Chen discovered that although he had followed the giant tortoise here, the entrance of the Ao Shou King Division was already filled with cultivators.
These were all cultivators who had received news that the giant starry sky tortoise was returning today and had rushed over in advance. After all, a giant starry sky tortoise would definitely bring a terrifying amount of resources from the Central Plains.
Xiao Chen followed the crowd and entered a large hall. This hall naturally had its own space. With the support of a spatial formation, it was several kilometers wide. At this moment, it was a cauldron of voices.
Through the noise, Xiao Chen easily understood everything. Most of the cultivators in the hall were the managing elders of the various tribes who had come to exchange for resources.
As for the true trade fair, one had to enter the depths of the palace to verify one's identity. Furthermore, it would only start a few days later.
Very soon, Xiao Chen passed through the large hall and walked towards the depths of the palace.
This was a wide corridor. The surroundings were as smooth as a mirror, and the inlaid crystals flickered with a gentle light. It was not dazzling, but it was just enough to illuminate the corridor.
In contrast to the surging crowds in the outer hall, there were extremely few cultivators who entered this corridor. Furthermore, as far as the eye could see, Xiao Chen could be said to be the weakest of them all.
In fact, there were even a few old men who hurriedly passed by. Their auras were obscure, making it difficult for Xiao Chen to determine their depths. Clearly, their strength far surpassed his imagination.
Similarly, when Xiao Chen walked into this corridor, it naturally caused the cultivators in the corridor to be surprised. Although they were puzzled that Xiao Chen had actually entered the corridor with his strength, they all swept their gazes over him and headed towards the depths. As for whether Xiao Chen had the qualifications, the Vanguard Chamber of Commerce's cultivators would naturally investigate.
Moreover, if Xiao Chen came to cause trouble, the taste of offending a supreme king's tribe would be even more interesting.
This corridor that seemed to be several kilometers long took Xiao Chen fifteen minutes to casually walk through it. Clearly, it was supported by a spatial formation.
In reality, when Xiao Chen stepped into the corridor, a cultivator who seemed to be a guard hurried into one of the palaces.
"Reporting to my lord, the identity of the person who has come has been investigated. He is a Marquis conferred by the Eastern Emperor a few days ago. He should have just come to the Marquis Palace to be branded with a Marquis's mark," the guard bowed towards the old man in the hall.
"Oh!"
The old man, who was originally sitting on the jade bed, immediately opened his eyes. There was a trace of interest in his eyes as he said, "It has been a long time since a new Marquis has been born in the Eastern Wasteland."
"My lord, the new Marquis comes from the desolate border region. However, this region is far too barren, so the clan has paid too little attention to it. Although I have done my best to search for relevant information, there is not much information about this new Marquis."
In the next moment, the guard handed a jade strip to the old man.
Buzz!
A ripple came from between the old man's eyebrows. In the blink of an eye, the jade strip turned into dust. However, the information contained within was already known.
"Desolate Marquis, with a title of Marquis, he actually comes from the desolate border region. Interesting."
The old man murmured. Then, he asked, "Do the other tribes know about the news of the new Marquis?"
"No, it seems that the Marquis Palace is purposely hiding it."
"Go and get someone to gather information about the desolate border region in the past hundred years."
The old man's eyes flickered, but in the next moment, he suddenly became fierce and shouted, "Also, when you leave the palace, keep the news about the new Marquis in your stomach."
"Yes!"
Soon, the guard retreated from the hall.
At this moment, Xiao Chen also stepped out of the corridor. However, he did not know that in the short fifteen minutes that he had walked through the corridor, his identity had already been seen through by the people behind the Vanguard Chamber of Commerce.
