Time seemed to stretch indefinitely. Suddenly, a magnificent ancient city appeared within Qin Chen's sight.
The entire city was incredibly grand, soaring into the clouds, with countless martial artists coming and going, landing in the ancient city.
Qin Chen even sensed the aura of some Earth Level powerhouses.
"Is this Cang Xuan City?"
Cang Xuan Ancient City unfolded on the horizon, entering Qin Chen's view; rather than being called an ancient city, it was more like an empire—vast and boundless, incredibly expansive.
This ancient and magnificent city sat upon the land, and at first glance, one could only wonder how many masters were hidden within. People flowed in and out, and countless Sacred Realm experts entered and exited.
In comparison, the lower realms truly seemed insignificant.
No wonder the experts from the Heavenly Realm were so arrogant; the Heavenly Realm was indeed terrifying. A single city could surpass an entire medium-level plane, and the experts within this city could easily annihilate ten Demon Tribes.
Moreover, within the city, spaces connected with spaces, layered and magnificent, with many things showcasing profound mysteries. Every blade of grass, every tree, every flower, and every bird contained traces of the Law.
It was clearly crafted by top-notch experts.
Qin Chen felt that with his current cultivation level, entering the city to cause trouble would definitely lead to being besieged and unable to escape.
Furthermore, the sacred energy emanating from Cang Xuan Ancient City was exceptionally rich, even denser than the Sacred Pool of the Ancient Bell Sect.
"There must be a massive Sacred Vein beneath."
Qin Chen was shocked. If he could cultivate in Cang Xuan Ancient City, his speed would surely increase exponentially. If he could stealthily enter the core of the Sacred Vein and absorb the heavenly sacred energy, it might not be impossible to advance to Earth Level.
Buzz! Qin Chen's soul power spread as he looked into the ancient city, peering beneath the surface, trying to uncover the source of the dense sacred energy. However, within the ancient city, countless sacred lights surged, and terrifying restrictions fluctuated. With Qin Chen's soul strength and array mastery, he could not discern the core essence.
The formations of Cang Xuan Ancient City were unexpectedly beyond his comprehension, surprising him.
This was definitely a grand formation at the Earth Level, and it was among the top-tier formations of the Earth Level.
With Qin Chen's current cultivation, he could not set it up.
"If I forcefully pry and study slowly, I might uncover some clues, but doing so would certainly alert the guardians of the ancient city—it's too dangerous."
Qin Chen shook his head and, along with Shang Gu Kong and Qin Tingting, descended to the city gate.
Before the gate, there were over a dozen guards wearing Sacred Level armor patrolling, each of them at the mid-stage of the Mortal Sacred Realm. The leader was a late-stage Mortal Sacred expert, inspecting the crowd entering and exiting.
Here, even the guards were Sacred Level experts, which was simply abnormal.
In the Heavenly Realm, Sacred Level armor was nothing, as the materials in the Heavenly Realm were exceedingly abundant.
Even bricks used for building walls, when placed in the lower realms, would correspond to imperial-level treasures, showcasing their terrifying nature.
Numerous cultivators flowed ceaselessly through the city gate, all having to pay a tax.
Each person owed one Sacred Crystal.
The fees were exceedingly high; generally, imperial-level martial artists could not possibly enter the city.
With Qin Chen's help, Shang Gu Kong changed his appearance to avoid being recognized by other forces and exposing his survival.
However, Qin Tingting did not change her appearance, as Qin Chen still needed to use the identity of the Ancient Bell Sect.
"Hmm?
Isn't that Qin Tingting from the Ancient Bell Sect?
You actually want to enter Cang Xuan City today?"
As Qin Chen and the others approached, one of the guards spotted Qin Tingting. At first, a scornful smile appeared on his face, but then he was taken aback. "Qin Tingting, you actually broke through to the late stage of the Mortal Sacred Realm?!"
