Chapter 633: Chapter 317 Tai Xuan Dao Palace_2
The Void Refinement Cultivator furrowed his brow lightly upon seeing Lin Yi’s direct refusal. “Fellow Daoist, we are doing this for your own good. It will only take half an incense stick’s time, and afterwards, we will escort you to the Tai Xuan Dao Palace. It will be much more convenient than going on your own,” he said, taking out an artifact resembling a mirror.
Lin Yi unapologetically released the aura of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator. “Oh, Elder Peng personally verified my strength before bestowing the Token upon me, allowing me to go to the Dao Palace for the trial on my own.”
“Now that Tai Xuan Divine City is just one step away, it would undoubtedly be more appropriate to conduct another test there, if necessary. Why must you insist on testing me here in Green Sun City? Could it be you have an ulterior motive for your test?”
“Or are you questioning Elder Peng’s judgment of my strength?”
He held Elder Peng’s Token, gently activating it, and in an instant, an aura of murderous intent surged forth.
Peng Tianwu had previously said that if anyone provoked him, he could use this Token at will.
Furthermore, City Lord Yuan Qingquan had also mentioned that in Tai Xuan Divine City, one need not be too wary. If provoked, just fight back.
Sometimes being overly conspicuous is also a form of protection. After all, practitioners of the Creation Method, once encountering a crisis, would become extremely cautious, careful not to cause too much commotion.
The Cultivators headed towards Tai Xuan Divine City, who were nearby, showed expressions of watching a drama unfold on their faces. Elder Peng had bestowed a Token, indicating his favor for this Ascender. These Spirit City Guards were still so tactless—it served them right.
“My apologies, please forgive our rashness, fellow Daoist. We were just too anxious,” said the Void Refinement Cultivator as his expression drastically changed, and he quickly cupped his fists in apology.
They hadn’t expected the Ascender’s personality to be so domineering. If this matter reached Elder Peng’s ears, they would definitely be in big trouble.
Of course, it was a minor issue if they were the only ones in trouble, but if this led to the exposure of the organization, the crime would be significant.
Lin Yi’s expression eased slightly as he spoke indifferently, “Let this not happen again. I shall not mention this to Elder Peng.”
“Thank you, fellow Daoist. Thank you very much,” the Void Refinement Guard said with a joyful expression, thanking him repeatedly.
“Fellow Daoist, please come with me. The Teleportation Array to Tai Xuan Spirit City is this way. I’ve reserved a spot especially for you,” said the Divinity Transformation Cultivator guarding the array, who came over quickly after seeing the matter resolved.
After expressing his gratitude, Lin Yi looked at the armored Spirit City Guards and asked, “Will you be coming too?”
“No need, fellow Daoist. You go first,” the Void Refinement Cultivator said quickly, shaking his hand. His heart was filled with frustration. As a Void Refinement Cultivator, he felt humbled by an Ascender of merely Divinity Transformation.
If this person didn’t have Elder Peng’s Token, he would have been at his mercy.
Lin Yi nodded lightly and did not seek any special treatment. Instead, he stepped into the nearby Formation. After an aura circulated within him, the Formation lit up with a green glow, signaling everything was in order.
Following that, he accompanied the Cultivator to a nearby Teleportation Array. As the light flashed, the next time he opened his eyes, he had already arrived in Tai Xuan Divine City.
The first thing that caught his eye was the grey tower in front of him, emanating a mysterious aura. No building around it could surpass its height.
In the information purchased within Qinglian Spirit City, the descriptions of the three main cities were very brief. Even less was said about Tai Xuan Divine City, only that it served as the home of the Tai Xuan Dao Palace, the human race’s last hope, where one could obtain everything desired.
“Fellow Daoists who have just teleported to Tai Xuan Spirit City, please walk past this mirror and then you may leave,” advised a Void Refinement Cultivator standing to the side, pointing at a mirror floating in mid-air.
Lin Yi glanced at it briefly and noticed that the Primordial Spirits and Divine Souls of the Cultivators passing through it could be clearly seen. If someone from the Demon Tribe had possessed a human body, they would not likely escape detection by this mirror—it was essentially a demon-revealing mirror.
He walked slowly under the mirror, and the Primordial Spirit reflecting within took the appearance of Invincible East, which made him marvel at the power of the Path of Survivor identity; a virtual identity that completely transformed everything from inside out.
Upon reaching the interior of the Transmission Hall, he went through an Identity Jade check, which was also handled by a Void Refinement Cultivator.
Observing the situation, it seemed that the cultivators entering the city could only stay in Tai Xuan Spirit City for a brief period, unable to settle down permanently.
It was understandable, after all, this was the most central and safest place for the entire human race. Without restrictions, many cultivators would flock here, willing to live on the streets if there were nowhere else to stay.
After verifying his Identity Jade, the Void Refinement Cultivator revealed a hint of surprise, “So you’re a Dao companion who has just ascended recently. You came to Tai Xuan Spirit City to enter the Dao Palace, didn’t you?”
“Precisely,” Lin Yi nodded. He didn’t take out Elder Peng’s Token since there was no need to.
The Void Refinement Cultivator smiled, “The Tai Xuan Dao Palace is located to the east of the city, built against a mountain. It encompasses everything imaginable. If the Dao companion passes the test, you can receive teachings inside. Even if you don’t pass, it’s no problem; you still qualify to stay in Tai Xuan Spirit City as long as you complete certain tasks. This is the most prosperous place of the entire human race. You should take the time to explore it well.”
Then he took out a Jade Slip, “This contains some information about Tai Xuan Spirit City, please familiarize yourself with it, Dao companion.”
“Thank you, senior,” Lin Yi expressed his gratitude, then stepped aside to sense the information in the Jade Slip and, holding his Identity Jade, walked out of the Transmission Hall.
He glanced at the guards at the entrance, all of them in the Deification Realm. This Tai Xuan Main City truly was extravagant; the True Venerables of Divinization, invincible in the Lower Realm, were now guarding the gates.
Lin Yi determined his direction and headed eastward. He decided to first settle in the Tai Xuan Dao Palace before exploring this main city, the core of the human race.
On his way to the Dao Palace, countless cultivators came and went, and their faces were filled with ease, devoid of the tension found in Main Demon-Slaying City.
Many cultivators also brought their children to the main city for sightseeing, to broaden their horizons.
He shook his head; this was what a normal city should look like, unlike the edge cities of Spirit City, where tension reigned daily. Yet, it was precisely the sacrifices of those Spirit City guards that allowed for the prosperity and peace of Tai Xuan Spirit City.
However, he had no delusions of being a great savior. If the Human Clan of the Spirit Profound Realm forcefully sent ascenders to battle the Demon Tribe, he would definitely find a way to flee, then seclude himself in the deep mountains to cultivate until his own ascension to the Immortal Realm. The crisis of the human race would be none of his concern.
Yet the Human Clan of the Spirit Profound Realm had not done such a thing and even provided generous treatment for the Ascendants, allowing them to cultivate in peace within Tai Xuan Spirit City.
As every cause has its effect, having received this favor from the Human Clan, he naturally would help resolve some crises when he was capable.
After walking the streets for a while, Lin Yi chose to travel by sword control. According to the Jade Slip distributed by the Void Refinement Cultivator at the Transmission Hall, sword flying was indeed permitted in Tai Xuan Spirit City.
As for the size of the city, the map he bought in Qinglian Spirit City did not show it—only a simple notation, without even displaying the buildings inside the city.
The Jade Slip from the Transmission Hall, however, did provide a simple map, showing some layout of Tai Xuan Spirit City.
For instance, the grey tower he saw right after being teleported out, named Tai Xuan Tower, its purpose not explained in the Jade Slip.
But judging from its name and position, it’s likely to be more than just a decorative feature.
Lin Yi flew through the air with his sword control, looking into the distance where he could scarcely see the edge—the Tai Xuan Spirit City was even more immense than he had imagined.
Moreover, it appeared that there were floating mountain peaks surrounding Tai Xuan Spirit City, likely serving as defensive and offensive measures.
After some time, he saw a towering mountain reaching into the clouds, with several other peaks floating around it, guarding the taller peak and exuding an arcane atmosphere.
Reaching the base of the mountain, Lin Yi gradually sensed the restriction against flying and descended, seeing a long flight of stairs leading to a grand palace, which shone brilliantly in the sunlight.
