On the edge of the domain, on a rocky outcrop.
"Finally arrived at the Eastern Continent Divine Domain," Tan Yun sighed deeply, out of breath.
"Tan Yun, if you're tired, take a break before continuing," Junior Sister said.
"No, I'm not tired," Tan Yun replied. "Let's keep moving."
Tan Yun held Junior Sister's hand as they set off again.
"No, I’m not tired," Tan Yun replied. "Let’s keep moving."
Tan Yun took Yu Yunxi’s hand and soared into the sky, disappearing into the vast sky as he set his direction...
Ninety-six years later.
In the eastern part of the Eastern Continent Divine Domain, towering green lone peaks pierced the clouds, standing amidst patches of azure lakes.
The lone peaks here were lush with greenery, flowers competing for beauty, and the heaven and earth divine essence swirling above the peaks and lakes, along with the slowly drifting clouds, created a magnificent and unparalleled scene!
This place was the Eastern Continent Divine Domain, one of the most beautiful places: the Eastern Continent Lake Domain.
In the center of the Eastern Continent Lake Domain, a majestic peak stood tall amidst the clouds and mist, with a grand Fang City built halfway up the mountain.
This Fang City was the most famous in the eastern region of the Eastern Continent Divine Domain: the Eastern Region Fang City!
The Eastern Region Fang City was constructed by the Eastern Continent Divine Sect, with countless shops selling various elixirs, artifacts, talismans, formations, and resources for cultivation to the Gods of the Eastern Continent Divine Domain.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Two beams of light descended from the sky, transforming into a white-haired figure in a purple robe—Tan Yun—and a girl in a white dress—Yu Yunxi—outside the grand Eastern Region Fang City.
Both Tan Yun and Yu Yunxi were still in disguise.
The gatekeepers of the city were inner disciples of the Eastern Continent Divine Sect, numbering in the hundreds who were at the ancestral king realm.
The leading male disciple, who was at the ninth layer of the ancestral king realm, noticed he couldn’t discern Tan Yun and Yu Yunxi’s realms and remained undaunted, looking down at them as he said, “Each person must pay one hundred Supreme Ancestor Stones to enter.”
"Once inside, if any disputes arise, you will be under the protection of my Eastern Continent Divine Sect."
From the demeanor of this inner disciple, Tan Yun could see just how overbearing the Eastern Continent Divine Sect was.
With a wave of his right arm, two hundred Supreme Ancestor Stones flew out from the Ancestral Ring, hovering before the inner disciple.
After receiving the Supreme Ancestor Stones, the inner disciple respectfully handed them to a grey-haired elder in a rocking chair sitting at the city gate, who was around sixty years old and at the great perfection of the daoist realm.
This man was named Han Xing, an inner steward of the Eastern Continent Divine Sect.
Han Xing continued to lounge in the rocking chair, narrowing his eyes as he looked at Tan Yun and Yu Yunxi, saying unequivocally, “I don’t care who you are or what background you have, remember this: this is the territory governed by my Eastern Continent Divine Sect.”
“Once you enter the Fang City, behave properly. If you dare to cause trouble or disrespect my Eastern Continent Divine Sect disciples, you will bear the consequences!”
"Did you hear me clearly?"
Tan Yun chuckled coldly in his heart but maintained a calm expression, saying, “Understood.”
“You brat, your voice is too low. Speak louder!” Han Xing scolded.
Tan Yun and Yu Yunxi suppressed the urge to eliminate Han Xing and raised their voices a bit, “Understood.”
“Now that’s better!” Han Xing waved his hand as if swatting a fly, indicating for Tan Yun to enter the city.
As they stepped into the Fang City, what greeted their eyes were rows of shops and pavilions, tightly packed and stretching as far as the eye could see.
The streets in the Fang City were bustling with people, showcasing a scene of extreme prosperity.
