“In that case, thank you, Daoist Fellow!”
Ning Wuxu bowed in respect but did not return to Green Castle. Instead, he followed closely beside Meng Ziyi, the two of them laughing and talking as they flew ahead.
Behind them, Green Castle trailed a hundred zhang behind, slowly flying. It would seem somewhat impolite for such a large War Fortress to be too close.
Gradually, they flew over Lingxiao City and stopped in the southern part of the city.
“This entire area is temporarily occupied by Major Sects from the Southern Domain!”
Meng Ziyi gestured towards the vast area below and laughed, “To avoid discomfort among Daoist Fellows from different regions, it’s roughly divided. The four areas of northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest of Lingxiao City welcome friends from the Four Domains respectively, while scholars from various Academies in the Central Region either stay in the Spring and Autumn Academy or reside temporarily in several Academies in the city.
The palace ahead is your Sect’s lodging. Daoist Fellow Ning, take a look. What do you think?
If you are not satisfied, I will immediately arrange another one for you.”
“There is no need for such trouble, as it’s not about choosing a Mountain Gate residence; a place to stay will suffice.”
Ning Wuxu wasn’t particularly demanding, considering they weren’t planning to live here long-term.
Moreover, the quarters arranged by Lingxiao Palace were quite spectacular, not only were the palaces grandiose and beautifully scenic, but the Spiritual Energy was also very dense.
He glanced around, and aside from the largest palace not far away, this place was already very impressive.
Needless to say, that enormous palace was reserved for the War God Palace.
As for the palaces adjacent to the War God Palace, they were definitely for a few other Top Level Great Forces; unexpectedly, Beast Taming Sect had also been allocated one.
It seems that in recent years, due to the fame and rising reputation of Beast Taming Sect, the quality of their accommodation had also been arranged to be slightly better.
Otherwise, they would have been treated like other Sects, who were simply assigned a residence.
Then, a group of Disciples and Elders flew down from Green Castle, ready to arrange their rooms for rest.
Jue Tian Ancestor and Gui Ling Ancestor also showed themselves.
They had been here before, so they simply looked around briefly and then withdrew their gazes, not attaching too much importance.
Gui Ling Ancestor waved his sleeve and, using Supreme Divine Power, stored Green Castle in his sleeve.
Otherwise, a bronze city with a diameter of three thousand zhang floating above Lingxiao City would cast a large shadow below, which wouldn’t be bothersome at first, but over time, it might not be pleasing.
Moreover, if the Great Sects’ large-scale Flying Escape Treasures were all floating in the air, once all Sects arrived, it would likely cover the entire sky above Lingxiao City, making it difficult to see sunlight.
“Young Meng Ziyi pays respect to the two elders.”
Upon seeing the two Ancestors reveal themselves, Meng Ziyi hurried forward to pay respects, no longer as casual as when he was talking to Ning Wuxu.
“Mm.”
Jue Tian Ancestor slightly nodded his head, then stayed silent.
He had visited this place more than once or twice, each time meeting with other Sects’ ancestors to discuss important matters. The very first time he came, even Lingxiao Palace didn’t exist yet.
“Thank you, Daoist Fellow Meng.”
Gui Ling Ancestor, who always seemed amiable, spoke with a chuckle, forming a stark contrast to Jue Tian Ancestor’s cold and reticent demeanor.
There was no helping it; Jue Tian Ancestor was born during the Ancient Great Tribulation, having experienced countless hardships from a young age. Just surviving that era was already fortunate enough, and cultivating a pleasant nature would have been too difficult.
Thus, the Ancestor was decisive and ruthless in his actions, and extremely fierce towards enemies. However, his interpersonal skills were just average on normal days.
If dealing with Daoist Fellows he had fought alongside, he could treat them sincerely, but he often ignored unfamiliar Cultivators.
This was also why Beast Taming Sect, Five Poisons Sect, and Ghost Controlling Sect maintained such good relations; the leaders of these two Sects shared similar situations to Gui Ling Ancestor. Together, they had resisted invasions from the Outer Domain, battled side by side for many years, which resulted in their longstanding alliance and extraordinary relationship.
Since Gui Ling Ancestor was proficient in Heavenly Mechanism Calculation, he had assisted Jue Tian Ancestor in managing the Sect early on and dealt with other Sects, so he was much more tactful than Jue Tian Ancestor.
“As it should be, as it should be.”
Meng Ziyi, with a smile on his face, said, “The juniors are in charge of receiving Daoist Fellows from the Southern Domain, so if the two elders and your Sect’s fellows have any requirements, just let me know.”
“Good.”
Gui Ling Ancestor nodded slightly.
Seeing that Gui Ling Ancestor did not intend to say more, Meng Ziyi no longer lingered and bowed before leaving.
He was quite considerate, and also because he had many duties to attend to, he couldn’t afford to delay here for too long.
While they were speaking, a large-scale Flying Escape Treasure flew from afar, likely another Major Sect’s Cultivators arriving, requiring his reception.
Although he had deputies who could substitute, immortals of Lingxiao City were not so idle, nor were there many suitable for such tasks, so his deputy only had a Primordial Spirit Realm Cultivation, which was fine for communicating with various Sects normally, but it was best for him to personally welcome them initially, as it showed greater respect.
After Meng Ziyi left, the people of Beast Taming Sect, under the guidance of several Elders, chose their rooms and settled in a bit.
Actually, there wasn’t much to settle; they were all Cultivators, with even the lowest being in the Golden Core Middle Stage, and hadn’t tired from staying on Green Castle. Except for the Elder who piloted Green Castle, everyone else was in peak condition.
“Junior Brother.”
Liu Xuanling called to Qin Feng, “Let’s go take a walk in the city and see what this renowned city in the Central Region really is like!”
“Sure, sure!”
Before Qin Feng could even respond, Lianxing, who was catching butterflies among the flowers nearby, heard this and immediately threw the butterfly from her hand, excitedly jumping out, “Senior Sister Liu, let’s go together.”
After speaking, she turned her head towards Li Miaozhen not far away. Li Miaozhen was holding the White Tiger Saber, gazing at an ancient tree and contemplating a test slash. She shouted, “Zhenzhen, come over quickly, let’s go out and have fun together.”
“Zhenzhen?”
Upon hearing this name, Qin Feng couldn’t help but look over at Li Miaozhen.
It was the first time he had heard someone call Li Miaozhen by this name, which sounded like a term of endearment between little girls.
Li Miaozhen’s long, slender eyebrows slightly raised, and she seemed somewhat helpless inside.
With her combative nature, the reason she no longer challenged Lianxing after one attempt was definitely not because she could not win. In her dictionary, there was only facing challenges head-on; she would never avoid a fight due to having a strong opponent.
The main reason was that Lianxing possessed a childish, lively temperament, curious about everything, and held no hostility towards her.

When she first came to challenge, everyone else was defensive, thinking about how to respond to her challenge, whether they could defeat her, but Lianxing was different. This girl treated her challenge as mere play.
She even dragged her around to play afterward, touring Creation Peak before visiting other sects’ territories, which left Li Miaozhen without any temper. Each time she was with her, she felt little desire to fight, and over time, she extinguished the will to battle her.
“Come on, hurry up,”
Lianxing, impatient, flew over, grabbed Li Miaozhen’s hand, and headed outside: “I heard that Senior Sister Liu gained many opportunities when she traveled abroad in her early years. If we go out with Senior Sister Liu, maybe we can encounter some opportunities too.”
Her words were not false. In earlier years, Liu Xuanling indeed had many chances during her travels, and for this reason, the cultivators in her sect envied her.
However, she knew only that Liu Xuanling had gained many opportunities outside, unaware that more than half of these were obtained through fierce battles. She really thought going out casually with Liu Xuanling could harvest many benefits.
Li Miaozhen was led by the hand to the vicinity of Liu Xuanling and Qin Feng, her face full of helplessness.
She could neither get angry at nor develop the will to fight against someone of Lianxing’s temperament, eventually accepting her goodwill.
Otherwise, Lianxing would definitely convince Li Miaozhen with her ideology until Li was irked, better to agree outright.
Besides, they didn’t travel all the way from the Southern Domain just to cultivate in seclusion. Lingxiao City was one of the major cities in the Central Region, currently filled with cultivators from all over. Going out to see the world was a good idea, and they might even encounter some strong opponents to have a good fight!
Liu Xuanling chuckled, “Then let’s go, we shall stroll around the city. The Central Region holds Confucianism in high regard, both the cultivation techniques and various treasures differ from those in Southern Domain. It’ll be good to have a look.”
At once, they stepped out of the palace’s front gate and headed outside.
The remaining disciples and elders had settled their affairs and mostly went out in small groups, ready to explore. Even Supreme Elders Ning Wuxu and Zhong Duanshan visited palaces nearby to see old friends from other sects arrived earlier, while the two ancestors were too lazy to move.
At their level of cultivation realm, they had long lost interest in the so-called splendor outside and had been here before, so of course, they wouldn’t find the Central Region as exotic as the younger generation.
As Qin Feng and his companions walked along the streets, the scenery was indeed different from the usual cities and markets they had seen in the Southern Domain.
Many people in the streets were wearing Confucian robes and Confucian hats, each emitting the aura of scholarship.
Many of them were either holding folded fans or scrolls, appearing scholarly and elegant, truly scholars among scholars.
The shops lining both sides of the street were all exquisitely built, displaying an ancient charm, and were incredibly serene.
The items sold here differed greatly from those commonly seen; there were many teahouses and book towers where scholars liked to visit to drink tea and read books, unlike other places where people preferred to go to taverns to drink alcohol. Moreover, all sorts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting items were readily available, along with many things they had never seen before.
For example, a shop ahead sold the “Four Treasures of the Study,” and the items on display here were indeed treasures.
The worker at the entrance, seeing the curiosity in their eyes and observing their attire, immediately knew they were cultivators from other domains.
The Five Domains Alliance had chosen this location, which, of course, turned it into a grand gathering for Lingxiao City, attracting cultivators from all over to converge here, significantly boosting the prosperity and indirectly promoting the sales of various treasures in the city.
However, the “Four Treasures of the Study” were somewhat special, as they were the favorites among scholars and thus not as easily sold as other treasures.
Nevertheless, the shop assistant enthusiastically invited them to come in and take a look, hoping perhaps in their excitement, they might buy some treasures.
Such occurrences were not uncommon; in recent days, more than a couple of groups had been persuaded into buying various treasures, with those cultivators not even considering whether they would need them later on.
Fortunately, those attending the alliance were mostly disciples from major sects, ordinary cultivators wouldn’t be able to arrive here, and these wealthy disciples did not mind spending the required spirit stones.
The visitors, led by the assistant, curiously explored various treasures in the shop, and each was amazed. “So ink, brush, paper, and inkstone can also be refined into magical treasures; quite an ingenious idea.”
Especially Lianxing, whose bright eyes shone with curiosity, finding everything novel.
She occasionally stretched out her little hand to touch the treasure inkstone and then grabbed a brush, gesturing with it.
However, Qin Feng stopped her from dipping it in ink or scribbling on paper as they would have to pay for the items with spirit stones afterward.
Although they were wealthy, there was no need to buy treasures that they couldn’t use.
So, in the end, they just took a round tour, learned about the uses of the treasures, and then left the shop selling the “Four Treasures of the Study” to continue their journey.
All along the way, Lianxing shouted in excitement, showing Qin Feng the distinctive nature of this second true inheritor.
“Wow, it’s so lively here!”
Up ahead, the street was bustling with people coming and going, and the sounds of hawking were incessant. Just as Lianxing excitedly ran towards the commotion, a sneer was suddenly heard from not far away.
“Where are these bumpkins from? They obviously haven’t seen the world!”
“Hmm?”
Qin Feng heard this and felt displeased, turning his head to look in that direction.
Several cultivators dressed in black robes stood there, their robes shimmering as if made from some treasurable material.
“Boy, what are you looking at?”
The leader, a young man, glanced at him disdainfully.
