Only after passing through three barriers can one truly enter the prefectural city of Ruixia Prefecture. These barriers are not meant to defend against enemies, but to lock onto the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, allowing the spiritual energy of Ruixia Prefecture to enter but not to leave.
So every ten years, the spiritual energy in Ruixia Prefecture reaches its peak. The energy is so abundant that it creates the unique scene of Ruixia erupting.
Pouring the power of a star domain into a sacred land was a grand undertaking, even Long Chen was shocked.
Entering the city, spiritual energy rushed over him, as if his body and mind had been cleansed, his pores opening up automatically—a feeling he would never forget.
"No wonder it's the sacred land of the Tiandu Star Domain—truly well-deserved." Bathed in spiritual energy, Eagle Fighter was overwhelmed with excitement and finally arrived in Ruixia Prefecture, arriving at the legendary place.
"It really is a great place."
Long Chen couldn't help but nod. He felt an inexplicable sense of closeness, as if this place was warmly welcomed. Even the anger he had been holding back over the beast clan's provocations slowly faded away.
"The master is outside the barrier. You can cause any trouble. Even if you kill someone, no one will intervene. But once inside the main city, that's not allowed.
Everything here is controlled by the Saint Pill Hall. They are absolute authorities here, not to be provoked, so this place absolutely cannot be acted upon. "Eagle Fighter Kong reminded him.
"What if someone messes with me?" Long Chen was taken aback.
"Don't worry, no one here dares to take the initiative; everyone follows the rules very well." Eagle Fight vowed with solemn confidence.
"That's good."
Long Chen nodded, "By the way, what happens if we do make a move?" "
If they do fight, powerful figures from the Sacred Pill Hall will intervene to suppress them. If they don't resist, that's fine, but depending on the severity of the situation, they may be imprisoned or expelled. If they resist or even injure someone, they will be killed on the spot."
Because within Ruixia Prefecture, there are Realm Kings stationed here, and not just one. Not just us disciples—even a big powerhouse would have to behave when they come here. "Eagle Bokong hurriedly said.
"I'm just afraid some idiot will come up in front of me, and I'm not in a good mood." Long Chen said somewhat uncomfortably.
"Master, you should just endure it a bit. At worst, you can settle accounts after entering the Divine Lord Immortal Realm. You absolutely cannot make a move here." Yingbo Kong was startled and hurriedly said. If Long Chen got into a fight here, he might even get implicated. He'd been waiting for this opportunity for years.
"Alright, I'll just take it easy." Long Chen waved his hand, "Anyway, I'll do my best."
He knew that after the inner demon was born, the more he suppressed himself, the more dark power would grow, and the inner demon would grow stronger. When he was wronged, the inner demon would be very happy. Dark power was the foundation of his strength.
Therefore, Long Chen couldn't suppress himself too much. Otherwise, once the power of his inner demon became too strong and suppressed him, it would be a disaster.
"By the way, Master, could you ...?" Yingbo Kong suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
"What?"
"Master, you are from another domain and can enter Ruixia Prefecture for free, but to participate in the Divine Lord Immortal Realm, you will need to spend quite a bit.
I want to know how much money you have on you. If it's not much, I have a bit here. We robbed some people before, so we can make up some money.
If we lack too much, we'll have to think of other solutions. "Eagle Bokong said.
It turned out that local experts, based on sect quotas, each paid a certain amount of Immortal King Crystals to enter the Divine Lord Immortal Realm.
Ordinary humans need to pay ten Immortal King Crystals, mixed-blood races thirty pieces, and beast beasts are more expensive, ranging from one hundred to a thousand depending on bloodline strength.
Because the stronger the bloodline, the more spiritual energy they absorb when advancing to the Divine Lord realm, resulting in a large spiritual energy deficiency.
To make up for the deficit in spiritual energy over the next ten years, the stronger the person, the more Immortal King Crystals they paid.
For example, Eagle Strike Kong paid 170 Immortal King Crystals, which was almost his entire savings.
Although he had robbed some people along the way and had nearly two hundred Immortal King Crystals in hand, the amount of Immortal King Crystals required for outsiders to enter the Divine Lord Realm was often twice or even several times that of local experts.
After entering the city, Long Chen had to undergo another test, assessing his overall strength. It was like selling pork—just weigh it and you'd know how much to charge. The stronger the person, the more they would charge.
After entering, Yingbo Kong suddenly thought of this issue, so he quickly brought it up, so that if Long Chen ran out of money to enter the Divine Lord Immortal Realm, he wouldn't take it out on him and be in trouble.
But even if you don't have money, it doesn't matter. According to the rules of the Sacred Pill Hall, if you are strong enough, you can choose to advance and have ten children here, then you can be free. In other words, you use your children to pay off debts.
But seeing Long Chen so domineering, Eagle Warrior probably wouldn't accept such terms, so he decided to speak up quickly and figure out a solution early.
"Is there a place for trading in Ruixia City? Is it the kind where you can exchange treasures for money? Long Chen asked.
"Yes, and there are many, all from trading houses and auction houses under the Saint Pill Hall. As long as you have treasures, you can trade them freely." Eagles seize the empty path.
After Yingbo Kong said this, Long Chen immediately understood. It turned out the Saint Pill Hall had monopolized all transactions here. No wonder Huayun Trading Company couldn't get in—it was because they wouldn't let Huayun Trading Company in.
"Don't worry. For me, as long as it's about money, it's not a problem." Long Chen said with a smile.
Although he had previously been very annoyed with Yingbo Kong and almost wanted to slap him to death, after spending a few days together, he realized he wasn't that annoying.
He didn't know if he was never very smart, or maybe he didn't dare to play tricks with Long Chen. At least along the way, Long Chen had never seen him play any dirty tricks.
Although Long Chen had implanted a soul mark on him, it was not a pure slave mark, and Long Chen disdained to examine his secrets.
Perhaps because of this, Yingbo Kong felt Long Chen's pride. Long Chen never took him seriously, let alone guarded against him, which showed a huge gap between them. The other party was too lazy to guard against him, so he didn't worry about much and didn't hide anything.
Hearing Long Chen say this, Eagle Warrior Kong grew even more confident. He believed Long Chen must be a big shot from some star region.
The two entered the city, and the endless sea of people completely shocked Long Chen. The ground was filled with first-generation powerhouses, each with overwhelming blood and overwhelming pressure. There were so many prodigies, so many that it was almost numbing.
However, Long Chen's appearance on the long street attracted quite a few eyes. Their gazes were somewhat surprised, mixed with provocation and mockery. Clearly, almost everyone here was a strong member of the beast clan, and human warriors only appeared in the mid to late stages. The human race neither had the qualification nor the ability to rush here so early.
"Human, are you interested in being my companion?"
As Long Chen was looking around, his vision suddenly blurred, and a graceful figure appeared before him.
