Immortal Palace of Eternal Life

Eight days later, Yuan Martial Nation.

Whoosh whoosh~

High above the clouds, a massive flying ship sped through the sky, letting out a sharp tearing sound as it cut through the air.

Far in the distance, a huge gathering place of immortal cultivators came into view. In Liu Yu's spiritual consciousness and spiritual perception, countless auras and spiritual pressures of varying strength and weakness appeared.

Splendid pavilions, clean and orderly streets, and dilapidated slums...

On the streets, there were young masters from immortal families dressed in fine clothes and surrounded by attendants, as well as loose cultivators with low cultivation bases who moved about cautiously.

Of course, there were also patrol teams with excellent magical artifacts and stern expressions.

Because this place was at the front line, Tianyi District City's atmosphere was extremely solemn, with none of the noise and bustle of ordinary days.

Even those young masters with impressive backgrounds had no mood to go out causing trouble.

As for ordinary cultivators, they were even more careful when leaving home. They hurried straight to their destination, bought whatever they needed for cultivation, and immediately returned home, afraid that they would be conscripted as cannon fodder.

The patrol cultivators looked over the crowd with scrutinizing eyes, magical artifacts and magical treasures always in hand. At the slightest disturbance, they could strike first and report later.

Although they were several dozen li apart, a true lord whose life essence had undergone several leaps could still clearly see the scenes within the district with the naked eye.

The entire district, including the lawless slum area, covered a range of roughly a hundred li.

However, the area protected by the fourth stage formation was only the core region within a radius of thirty li.

For medium and small immortal cultivator gathering places, the human and demon war had emptied them out, leaving behind almost only the stationed cultivators.

But Tianyi District City was one of the most important strategic points on the front line. The Seven Nations Alliance had stationed heavy forces here, and it instead showed a different kind of vitality. The number of immortal cultivators had barely decreased at all.

Because of the war, the prices of related cultivation resources fluctuated greatly. For example, demonic beast materials had plummeted in price.

Many teams took the risk of leaving human territory to hunt demons, and merchants from all over Tian Nan also came here to buy and sell materials.

"'Core district,' 'civilian district,' 'slum district'—the class divisions are distinct and the distribution is reasonable. Overall, order is also quite stable."

"With this district alone, Heavenly Dragon Temple must be raking in money every day..."

After observing for a while, Liu Yu sighed with emotion.

At this time, he was already several days past the deadline given in the urgent summons, but he did not care at all.

With strength at this level, and as the controller of a major power, with a whole group of fellow cultivators waving flags and cheering for him, what rules did he still need to obey?

Who could punish him over such a small matter?

Swish~

When they were still fifty li from the district, three rays of escape light flew over from the direction of the district and finally landed on the deck of the flying ship.

As the escape lights dispersed, the figures of three monks appeared.

All three wore red kasaya robes. The leader had thick eyebrows and large eyes, a monk with a middle-aged appearance.

"If Liu has not guessed wrong, you must be Master Xuanci, right?"

Looking the newcomer up and down, Liu Yu remained seated and spoke first.

"Amitabha."

"This old monk is indeed Xuanci."

"I waited and waited, hoping for the sun to rise in the deep mountains, and finally managed to welcome Friend Qingyang here."

"The human-demon war has broken out, and without a great cultivator in charge, this old monk always feels that Yuan Martial Nation is in danger under the demon race's military pressure."
