2184 Chance Encounter in the Capital
For others, they did not have the time and energy to cultivate too many cultivation techniques and divine powers.
If any other cultivator obtained the reward for being the top of the Earth Ranking, they would have to choose the best cultivation techniques and secret skills in the Earth-grade Secret Pavilion to cultivate.
However, it was different for Su Zimo.
The Martial Dao Prime Body was deducing the next step of the cultivation Dharmic formulation and would not reject any cultivation techniques or secret skills.
He did not need to cultivate and merely used the Martial Dao Furnace to smelt all the cultivation techniques and secret skills to search for what he needed and inspiration.
No matter what, Su Zimo was determined to get to the top of the Earth Ranking this time round!
After a period of cultivation, the academy activated the teleportation formation when it was close to the 10,000 Year Meet.
Three Heaven Immortal elders of the academy led Su Zimo, Princess Scarlet Rainbow and dozens of others to the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom through the teleportation formation.
If they were flying normally, the distance between the two places would be far. Even a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal would require a few years to reach the capital of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom.
However, using the teleportation formation, it only took dozens of breaths.
Su Zimo and the others felt their vision go adrift, as though countless shadows were passing by. They felt a sense of weightlessness as though their bodies were being pulled and twisted.
Thereafter, everyone landed on the ground and everything returned to normal.
The moment everyone arrived at the capital of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom, they could clearly sense that this place was different from the academy.
The temperature here was much higher than in the academy and was a little stuffy.
Everywhere was a fiery red.
All the structures were made of red bricks and some of them were even burning with thin flames that lasted for a long time.
The Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom was filled with flames everywhere!
"I'm back!"
When Princess Scarlet Rainbow returned, she took a deep breath with a satisfied expression.
She had lived in the capital since she was young and was long used to the environment here.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoists,"
After everyone from the academy appeared, guards near the teleportation formation walked over quickly and cupped their fists.
The guards wore fiery red armor that emitted a scorching heat like metal plates!
The guards swept their gazes across the waists of Su Zimo and the others and recognized their backgrounds.
"Fellow Daoists of Heaven and Earth Academy, you should be here for the 10,000 Year Meet, right? Prince Xie Ling has already instructed me to bring you guys to the palace to rest."
A guard said in a deep voice.
"There's no need!"
Princess Scarlet Rainbow waved her hand. "I can bring them there. Elder Zhong, Elder He, this is the first time everyone from the academy is here. Let me show you guys around the capital."
"As for the resting palace, I know the location. I'll bring everyone there when the time comes."
"That works too."
Elder Zhong nodded with a smile.
Princess Scarlet Rainbow patted Su Zimo gently on the shoulder and teased, "Let's go. I'm familiar with this place. I'll show you around the capital, kiddo."
The other cultivators of the academy were curious as well and agreed.
Su Zimo smiled and nodded.
When they walked out of the teleportation formation area and arrived on the streets of the capital, they could feel the clamor and bustle of the capital.
Due to the 10,000 Year Meet, the capital was filled with cultivators from the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain. Most of them were Earth Immortals.
Even so, the wide streets of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom did not seem crowded.
On both sides of the streets, cultivators from different sects and factions set up stalls selling various items.
This 10,000 Year Meet was an immortality cultivation event that happened once every 10,000 years in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain.
The fight for the Earth Ranking was only the main event.
Most cultivators were not qualified to take part in the fight for the Earth Ranking. To them, the 10,000 Year Meet was more importantly a grand event for exchanges and transactions between cultivators.
Princess Scarlet Rainbow led Su Zimo and the others along the main street of the capital while explaining some interesting places in the capital.
"Exalted Immortal, we were the ones who took a liking to this iron sword first. Furthermore, we've already paid Essence Spirit Stones. How can you snatch it by force?"
Right then, a clamor came from the side of the street not far ahead.
"Bullsh*t! Since when did our young master snatch your things?!"
Someone cursed.
Thereafter, there was a loud sound, as though someone had been slapped.
The person continued cursing, "Our young master gave you double the Essence Spirit Stones and you're still not satisfied? That slap is a lesson for you!"
Glancing over, Su Zimo suddenly frowned and paused.
Something like this happened everywhere daily and he had no intention of paying attention to it initially.
However, he caught sight of someone familiar through the crowd.
When Princess Scarlet Rainbow saw Su Zimo looking over, she said, "The person who hit him is from the Xue Clan. In the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain, they are considered as a major immortal Dao clan. For every Earth Ranking, the Xue Clan will have someone on it."
Before Princess Scarlet Rainbow could finish, Su Zimo had already walked over.
Everyone from the academy exchanged puzzled glances and followed suit.
In the crowd.
There were dozens of people from the Xue Clan surrounding a young and handsome man.
The person lowered his head slightly and scrutinized a rusty iron sword in his hands.
In front of him was a slave-like cultivator. Although he was short, he had an overbearing attitude as he looked at the two people opposite him and gestured while cursing.
The two people opposite him were a middle-aged man and a young man in ordinary robes.
The middle-aged man was a Grade 4 Earth Immortal while the young man was only a Grade 9 Black Immortal.
Half of the young man's face was swollen and there was a red palm print on it with blood seeping out. He glared at everyone from the Xue Clan angrily.
The middle-aged man had a worried expression and shielded the young man behind him, afraid that the latter would make a huge mistake out of impulse.
"Hurry and pick up the Essence Spirit Stones and leave. It's better to avoid trouble."
"The two of you are just ordinary cultivators of Water Cloud Sword Sect. How can an unknown black-grade sect compare to the Xue Clan? Do you have a death wish?"
"It's already not bad that Young Master Xue is willing to give you Essence Spirit Stones. Yet, you're not satisfied?"
The surrounding crowd discussed, some out of goodwill and some mocking.
The middle-aged man sighed and squatted down slowly, reaching out to pick up a few Essence Spirit Stones on the ground.
Although the Xue Clan had given them the Essence Spirit Stones, they were thrown on the ground casually.
Even if the middle-aged man was displeased, he could only endure it.
The moment his palm touched an Essence Spirit Stone, a foot stomped down at an extremely fast and powerful speed!
Crack!
He could not dodge in time and his palm was snapped!
"Ugh!"
The middle-aged man grunted and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead instantly.
He grit his teeth and trembled slightly.
The servant of the Xue Clan stepped forward and stomped on the middle-aged man's palm.
Although he was only a servant of the Xue Clan, his cultivation realm was at the Level 6 Earth Essence realm and was two minor realms above the middle-aged man!
"Father!"
The young man exclaimed and took a few steps forward. He glared at the Xue Clan servant opposite him and growled, "You dog, let go of my father!"
"Xiaotian, shut up!"
The middle-aged man hollered before raising his head slowly. He looked at the Xue Clan servant and squeezed out a smile. "My child is too young and inexperienced. He doesn't know the rules. Exalted Immortal, please spare him this once."
