Chapter 1060: Chapter 438: Celestial Being 2

Wu Chang asked curiously, "Where is the Immortal Mansion you mentioned located?"

An Rong replied, "The Immortal Mansion is located at one of the key points of the Ziwei Evil-Dispelling Array, Kaiyang Mountain."

Erin waved to An Rong, releasing healing Light Magic, and said:

"I know a bit about healing techniques; perhaps I can help you shorten the recovery time slightly."

Wu Chang and Erin received a warning from the Jade Pendant as they saved An Rong from the Candle Yin Remains, whilst Wu Chang’s True Self didn’t stop.

Unlike his true body, the True Self didn’t receive the True Walker boost and did not appear on the Dungeon Plane as a native.

His True Self appeared in front of a city called Zhenyue, and based on his true body’s memories, Zhenyue City is the hub of Tianlan Province and the main base of the Humane Alliance’s formation of the Demon-breaking Army.

If one were an ordinary Abyssal Game Player, they could quickly join the Demon-breaking Army here and complete Main Quest One, which is considered an extremely excellent starting point.

Currently, the Humane Alliance is recruiting manpower to break through the Demon Realm. All aspiring individuals of Great Xuan, regardless of their power, are gathering at Zhenyue City.

Apart from cultivators, the appearance of the Demon Realm has caused many residents of Tianlan Province to become displaced. To avoid being hunted by demons, the people are fleeing into large cities guarded by cultivators, with Zhenyue City of the Humane Alliance being the top choice.

Wu Chang stood outside the city, while the flow of people entering the city stretched out like a dragon, extending very far away.

If he queued up from the end to enter the city, the 72-hour early entry into the dungeon might be completely consumed.

In places like dungeons, it’s not about first come, first served.

He directly activated his Social Phobia, following the stream of people and looking for a chance to cut in line.

Zhenyue City is one of the three giant cities of Tianlan Province; more accurately now, it’s one of the two giant cities, as Liuyun City, originally one of the three giants, is unfortunately located at the center of the Demon Realm eruption and has been completely overtaken.

The city walls of Zhenyue City exceed two hundred meters in height, constructed entirely of large square stones in dark blue-gray color. Just the imposing tall walls alone are enough to deter most demons.

Besides the sturdy city walls, the walls also have various arrays and restrictions set by the Humane Alliance, which not only add extra defensive power but also possess detection abilities to prevent demons from disguising as humans and sneaking into the city.

Wu Chang’s Social Phobia is also within the detection range of the city gate.

To prevent misunderstandings upon being discovered while sneaking in, he proactively deactivated his Social Phobia prior to entering the city gates and cut in line in front of a martial artist.

The burly man, upon realizing a person suddenly appeared in front of him, furrowed his brows and was about to confront Wu Chang.

Wu Chang quietly stood upright, displaying an impressive figure over two meters tall, and waved his enormous fist comparable to a brawny man’s head.

The burly man swallowed his saliva, his dissatisfaction instantly dissipated, his face beaming with smiles as he said:

"It will take another incense stick of time to enter the city from here. If you are in a hurry to enter, my junior is ahead in line, already close to the city gates."

The burly man’s estimation was accurate, evidently not his first time entering the city. About one incense stick later, Wu Chang arrived at the city gates.

Twenty to thirty soldiers of Great Xuan, along with four or five cultivators from the Humane Alliance, were stationed outside the gates, checking each person entering the city one by one.

Although such a process is inefficient and time-consuming, it ensures safety.

Demons are cunning, with some being transformed from humans. Among the cities invaded by demons, at least a quarter were breached from within due to demons sneaking in and collaborating from the inside.

Wu Chang surveyed the gatekeepers; his knowledge from the True Walker allowed him to understand the classification of cultivators’ power on the Dungeon Plane. The gatekeepers’ levels corresponded well to these realms.

Zhenyue City gathered almost all the major figures of Great Xuan, including Emperor Zhaoning himself residing in the city, making it even more critical than the Imperial City of Great Xuan.

Those assigned to guard the gates are naturally extraordinary; even the ordinary soldiers have achieved a significant level in cultivation, qualifying as core strength in any sect.

The two officers guarding the gates displayed impressive demeanor, exuding an unswerving aura.

The deputy was subtly surrounded by energy, forming a self-contained cycle, moving continuously with a subtle resonance with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power. According to the world dungeon’s classification of cultivators’ realms, he had reached the Spirit Control Realm, making him a second-rate expert.

The main officer’s presence was more profound and reserved than the deputy, seemingly without sharpness yet with more substantial power, undoubtedly surpassing the deputy. His actions could "split mountains," making him a first-rate expert of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

However, the term "mountain splitting" does not imply splitting a mountain with a single strike; neither splitting a large mountain nor a hundred-meter tall small mountain is ordinary power in the Desolate Realm.

The "mountain splitting" reference indicates their flesh, essence, and qi have been refined to a certain degree; given enough time, they can carve a path through the mountain by hand.

Great Xuan Dynasty’s soldiers are only meant to suppress ordinary cultivators, while the true high-level combat power comes from the four individuals dispatched by the Humane Alliance.

Among them, the three with relatively weaker aura were likely similar in cultivation to the chief gate officer, considered first-rate experts in the cultivation world and existence akin to elders in small and medium-sized sects.

The lead cultivator, dressed in a white priest robe, appeared transcendental, with power surpassing the other three.

In the cultivation world, referred to as the "River Cutting Realm," cultivators who encounter him would respectfully address him as Grandmaster.

A Grandmaster realm cultivator possessed immense power, not considering the unpredictable spells, even the numerical value would be enough to overcome descendants of the Secret Magic Knight Order in the Steam Phantom Dungeon.
