Chapter Sixteen: Ancient Ruins of Stone City!

  There is a Stone Emperor in the Imperial City, and the War King is his younger brother. This person was once brilliant and dazzling, but unfortunately, with the appearance of people like the Abbot, Sakyamuni, Laozi, etc., his brilliance has been overshadowed, and he is now only ranked ninth in the world.

  "Older brother, what's that thing at Shicheng Ancient City?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked, nudging the man beside her with his elbow.

  The man was also bored, and with Jiang Xiaoyu's humble and eager-to-learn expression, he couldn't pretend to be aloof. So, he explained: "Shi Huang once enlightened in Shi City, and later entered a mysterious space. Inside, the cultivation is suppressed, only the initial realm of cultivation can be used! More importantly, there are countless heavenly materials and treasures inside, including the legendary Divine Acacia Fruit! That mysterious space is the ancient ruins of Shi City, but at that time it was not yet open, so Shi Huang only entered by chance and didn't stay for long."

  "And now the son of the War King, Young Master Hou has actually arrived, which means that most of the rumors are true!"

  Jiang Xiaoyu slightly nodded, not expecting that this stone city would have such a place, and he had also heard the rumor for the first time. His strength was suppressed at the initial realm? If the ancient ruins really existed, then he and Qin Feng could go in to explore.

  In the Initial Realm, Qin Feng is absolutely the number one strongman in this Stone City! Seventy-two acupoints, who can compare to that? Even the young master of the War King's son cannot be compared to Qin Feng in the Initial Realm!

  "Oh heavens! It's a fairy!"

  As the crowd gasped in surprise, Jiang Xiaoyu's train of thought was interrupted. He looked up to see a woman descending slowly from the sky and landing within the stone city. She wore a white robe, with long hair draped over her shoulders, and a pair of eyes like misty water that seemed to be able to penetrate all things in the world.

  "What a fairy, looking at the color of her cloud and mist, it's actually the five-color divine cloud. This is absolutely the town-teaching magic of Xuanfeng Mountain, 'Yin Yang Da Wu Xing'. If I'm not mistaken, this girl must be the Holy Girl of Xuanfeng Mountain!"

  "Is she the legendary Holy Maiden? I've long heard that the Goddess of Floating Mountain, Jia Yan Ying, has a daughter, but she's always stayed on Floating Mountain and never appeared in public. I didn't expect her to show up this time too!"

  "The ancient ruins of the Stone City have attracted many talents, and even Young Master Hou has traveled from Zhongzhou to come here. And now, surprisingly, even the Suspended Holy Maiden has arrived! It seems that the rumors are true!"

  The Saintess of the Floating Mountain descended gently, then ignored everyone and left with a calm expression. No one dared to provoke her, not to mention the other party's strength, but simply because of the existence of such a massive object as the Floating Mountain, they absolutely would not tolerate anyone desecrating their saintess!

  As the figure of the holy girl gradually disappeared from view, Jiang Xiaoyu withdrew his gaze. He really didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful woman in this world! She's too damn good-looking! However, this was just an appreciation for beauty, a kind of sigh.

  She was so effortless in riding the clouds and fog, she must have gone very far in the realm of cloud riding! Only, it's unknown how many acupoints this woman has opened up, she cultivates the Suspended Mountain Sect's Town God Method, which can open up 72 acupoints, at this point it's enough to surpass Jiang Xiaoyu's publicly spread-out technique.

  Even though the Holy Maiden has left, there are still many gossipmongers around. An old man among them murmured, "I once heard that Shi Huang, who attained enlightenment in Shicheng, had fought with the Goddess once. Later, they developed feelings for each other... As for who the Holy Maiden's father is, no one knows."

  Shi Huang rushed from Zhongzhou to the southern wilderness of Shicheng, as the leader of the southern wilderness. The floating mountain couldn't be calm, and it was certain that the goddess would take action. However, this old man's guess was too bold, actually thinking that the holy girl was a descendant of Shi Huang!

  The master of the Floating Mountain is the elder brother of the Goddess, and naturally, the Holy Maiden cannot be his child. As the only female among the top ten strongest in the world, there are not many men who can match her. The old man's guess was not unfounded!

  "Ahh!"

  A loud, earth-shattering sound broke through the crowd's speculation, and for a moment, everyone in Stone City looked up at the sky. A golden-feathered giant Peng bird burst into the air! It then landed on the ground and transformed into a young man with golden hair! His pair of golden pupils shone like electricity, and those who were swept by his gaze couldn't help but feel their scalps numb.

  "The Golden Winged Peng Bird, he comes from the Northern Divine Mountain!" someone suddenly exclaimed.

  The North is a mysterious place, for it is the haunt of the demon beasts, and few humans have gone there. The Divine Mountain, on the other hand, is the sacred land of the demon tribe, founded by a powerful demon lord. This demon lord was extremely powerful, with his true form being that of an ape...

  The top ten in the world, but only for humans, the demon race is not included. Many people have suspected that the old ape's strength may be no less than Shi Huang and others. Unexpectedly, the ancient ruins of Stone City actually attracted the descendants of the Golden Winged Peng Bird of the Demon Race!

  The Golden Winged Peng Bird, with its gaze among the demon clan, is also a supreme bloodline! Innate talent, almost invincible in the same level of existence! Among humans, few can rival it.

  "Preposterous!"

  Suddenly a figure appeared, standing beside the Golden Winged Peng Bird, and let out a cold hum.

  This person has purple hair and carries a wooden sword on his back. His peach blossom eyes are extremely good-looking, if he were to use electricity, I don't know how many girls would be charmed to death.

  "This is Academy Two's Mister, Violet Flame!"

  One by one, the extraordinary talents with thunderous reputations arrive, leaving everyone feeling dizzy and dazzled! Such figures are rarely seen, yet they have all gathered here today!

  The Golden Winged Peng Bird let out a cold smile, his eyes revealing a hint of disdain. He arrived at the Stone City, not intentionally concealing his aura, which was a provocation, completely fearless of the human cultivators.

  The academy educates the world, with teachings that know no boundaries and a reputation that spreads far and wide. There is a subtle trend of a certain ethnic group taking the lead. As the second master of the academy and the second disciple of the principal, Zi Yan naturally needs to step forward and meet this genius from the demon clan.

  The two slightly turned their bodies to face each other, and this action instantly attracted the attention of many people. Is this going to be a showdown? One is the king of the demon tribe, the Golden Winged Roc, and the other is the absolute genius of the human race. The battle between these two will definitely be exciting!

  "Oh no, I'm going!" Jiang Xiaoyu muttered to herself.

  He was shocked that it wasn't a duel between the two, but rather a constant stream of system prompts! This is unscientific! So many geniuses have come, can the system only choose geniuses as promoters?

  Golden Winged Peng Bird, Violet Flame, Floating Mountain Saintess and so on... These are all his promoters! Fortunately, what they're promoting is divine ability, not some so-called cultivation technique. Otherwise, it would be too difficult! All these geniuses have already achieved success in their cultivation, wanting them to give up their current accomplishments and start from scratch is almost an impossible task.

  But for now, I'm in no hurry to promote it, let's see what happens first.

  Jiang Xiaoyu's thoughts were in disarray at the same time, Jinchi and Ziyen had already clashed, only to see the Roc Bird swing its fists, and in an instant, the heavens and earth changed color! This punch shattered the eternal silence, declaring war on heaven and earth!

  "Fight!" Zi Yan's eyes burst out a cold gleam, and his wooden sword was already drawn from behind his back.

  He drew his sword and a powerful aura emanated from his body, causing the Great Peng Bird's fists to recoil in shock.

  Hmph! With a cold snort, the Roc bird charged forward without saying another word. To him, his body was his strongest divine soldier! The physique of the demon clan was incredibly robust and possessed boundless strength! A Roc bird at the Initial Realm was equivalent to a human who had opened all 72 acupoints, while one at the Qi Sea Realm was comparable to a cultivator with ten layers of heavenly tribulation. And when it reached the Cloud Ascension stage, it became even more terrifying, able to cultivate to the extreme and even produce ten strands of cloud mist! This was truly an extraordinary innate gift!

  But even so, Zi Yan was fearless! He was the disciple of the principal, with a shocking talent, all the way to the top, although he had only opened 69 acupoints, his divine power was incredibly strong! For a time, he was actually on par with the Great Peng Bird!

  Two figures at the peak of Yun Tian clashed, and everyone in Shi Cheng changed color upon hearing the news. The crowd of onlookers involuntarily took a few steps back, the momentum was too overwhelming! Is this still a battle within the Yun Tian realm? I wonder if even the strong ones from the Hua Long realm are no more than this?

  The Golden Winged Peng Bird was secretly astonished, his physical body had become incredibly strong, and his speed was even ranked first in the Cloud Soaring Realm! But the human in front of him had actually used a powerful divine ability to restrict his speed!

  Without considering what the other party thought, Zi Yan directly took his wooden sword and desperately hacked at the Roc Bird! That's right, hacked! His swordsmanship was majestic and powerful, almost shaking the heavens and earth with each strike. However, under such a fierce attack, the Roc Bird seemed to be unscathed!

  The Golden Winged Peng Bird was so proud, yet it was suppressed by its opponent from the start. It would not yield! With a slight retreat of its body, it transformed and the Peng Bird reappeared! Its two wings shook, and its golden feathers were like sharp flying knives, extremely sharp!

  Recovering its true form, the Roc's combat strength was fully revealed. Even under the opponent's divine power suppression, it still had extraordinary speed, which had already exceeded what Ziyuan could grasp at this moment.

  "Clang!"

  Another sword slammed into his opponent's body, and Ziyang only felt a strong backlash from the sword, and his arm suddenly hurt.

  "I didn't expect its body to be so hard that even my Thunder Sword Technique couldn't break through, do I have to use that one move?" Zi Yan was secretly shocked.

  The Golden Winged Peng bird held its head high and puffed out its chest, looking at the Purple Flame with disdain. However, it was secretly suffering in pain, as the opponent's sword had struck its body too painfully, and it didn't know what material that wooden sword was made of, but it was surprisingly so sturdy!

  But with its pride, how can it bear such humiliation? At this time, he began to brew his divine power!

  90,000, 100,000, 101,000, 102,000, 105,000, 106,000...

  The divine fluctuations of one man and one bird are constantly rising, both are ready to use a move to decide the outcome!

  "What the...! You two are fighting to the death, I'll go find a promoter elsewhere!" Jiang Xiaoyu complained, but couldn't care about that much at the moment. With a swift move, he intervened. These two were his promoters, if one of them died, his own chances of getting 100 points would decrease by a fraction.

  A golden light beam surrounded by lightning suddenly appeared, breaking through the air and making a loud rumbling sound as it shot towards the middle of the two! ——————There will be another update at 10pm tonight, weakly asking for a recommendation vote~
