Ningyuncheng is a large city, comparable to an Imperial City.
This is a major city within the Origin Spirit Realm, overseen by a True God.
As Chu Yuan entered Ningyuncheng, he found the city was full of people, many of whom were skillful experts, and the city teed with a dense aura of the heavens and earth's vital energy. After all, this was the realm of the Celestial Gods, abundant with powerful experts.
"It's totally different than Dawu."
Yao Ling said.
The power of Dawu was in a rapid rise, and its citizens all had a sense of sharp edge on them; they were all crazily cultivating martial arts. Every single one of them was prepared to join the army and was full of morale and fighting spirit.
However, Ningyuncheng was much more peaceful, lacking the lunacy of Dawu.
"Your Majesty, I have investigated. The Ning Family is the Sovereign here in Ningyuncheng and their strength is slightly inferior to the Xuanzun Imperial Dynasty."
On the street, Chu Yuan was walking in front, Yao Ling softly pulling his arm.
Ning Xiuchen acted like an old servant, trailing behind.
Although he had reached the peak before, he had long adjusted his mindset because his soul origin was now under the control of the Emperor. Often, it was good to know your place.
"We rarely get the opportunity to wander about. Let's take a stroll here and relax our minds."
Chu Yuan knew Yao Ling probably realized the relationship between the Origin Spirit Sect and the Everlasting Empire of Qingmu. Dawu, although far from the Origin Spirit Realm, was specially invited by them, which obviously carried their certain purposes.
Hearing Chu Yuan's words, Yao Ling nodded and put on a smile.
"You look better when you smile more." Chu Yuan said.
They continued to walk in Ningyuncheng.
Indeed, they encountered many things different from Dawu.
The people of Dawu, influenced by the Martial Emperor, were all martial artists, fearless, incredibly ferocious, and fond of expansion.
Because only by expanding can they gain more resources.
The temperant of an emperor is enough to influence a country. If the emperor is weak, so are his subjects.
As Chu Yuan was so strong and resolute, Dawu's subjects were equally firm. The Martial Artists of Dawu, who had been training in the Sea Demon Realm, were even more ferocious than those demon cultivators.
This was what Chu Yuan wanted to see.
After all, he didn't want his subjects to be a bunch of timid lambs.
"Liu Family Restaurant."
At this mont, Chu Yuan arrived at a restaurant.
The place was crowded with people who were heading in to enjoy their als.
Although Martial Artists of a certain level could sustain themselves on the vitality of heaven and earth, who could resist good food? Even in Chu Yuan's Royal Palace, there were many Imperial Chefs who churned out an endless variety of royal als for him daily.
An Emperor should relish the benefits brought by power along with ruling the powerful empire.
If you don't enjoy your power, you might as well be a hard-working practitioner. Why bother being the ruler of an empire?
"Although the na of this Liu Family Restaurant is quite ordinary, it is always crowded. Let's go in and taste the flavor which is different from Dawu."
Chu Yuan stepped into Liu Family Restaurant. A service staff imdiately ca over to greet them and asked with a smile, "Would the three of you prefer to dine in the downstairs hall or in a private room upstairs?"
"Find a quiet place and serve your restaurant's best dishes." Ning Xiuchen said.

"Alright, please follow , honored guests."
Soon, Chu Yuan and his companions were led to a private room upstairs.
The dishes arrived quickly. Ning Xiuchen stood on the side as he didn't eat. Chu Yuan didn't bother about him as he and Yao Ling began enjoying the delicacies.
"This Liu Family Restaurant is really not bad. Even I, who am used to delicacies, find it delicious. No wonder so many people co here to eat."
Chu Yuan praised.
"Your Majesty's complint is really rare. I also find it delicious." Yao Ling ate a few more bites, "If Your Majesty likes it, I can find the owner here and ask if they are willing to move to Dawu."
"If they are willing to move to Dawu, I will give them a pri location to open a restaurant. We should let others enjoy good food as well. If Chenxi knew I was enjoying all this by myself, she would surely be angry with ."
Chu Yuan added with a smile.
"Honored guests."
At this ti, a woman, who looked to be in her thirties and had the cultivation of a Virtual God, entered the private room.
"Did you enjoy the dishes in my restaurant?"
This woman was the owner of Liu Family Restaurant.
The mont Chu Yuan and his companions entered, she noticed them.
Especially this man, although he didn't exude any power, he carried a deanor that seed to exude a dominating presence. She knew this trio were not ordinary people.
She couldn't see through the old man either.
But this didn't surprise her.
The Origin Spirit Sect hosted a Celestial God Banquet, inviting influential people and even Celestial Gods specifically. This led to many unfamiliar guests appearing in the Origin Spirit Realm.
Being the owner, it was only right for her to greet and welco these strong outsiders.
"The food is not bad. Just now, we were discussing inviting Liu Family Restaurant to my Imperial City."
Chu Yuan looked at the woman.
Although not incredibly beautiful, she carried a unique deanor and superior aura. Most notably, a willow leaf mark could be seen on her forehead, adding an air of mystery to her.
"Your Majesty is too polite, my restaurant has been in Ningyuncheng for quite so ti."
Since he referred to himself as 'His Majesty', she guessed he was the ruler of so kingdom, but she was not sure which one.
"That willow leaf mark of yours?"
Only now did Yao Ling pay attention to the willow leaf mark. She pondered for a mont, then cautiously asked, "Are you of the Liu Family, from the ti of the Everlasting Empire, belonging to the lineage of the Muliutian God?"
Her clan, Yao dicine, had declined, but her ancestors were once consorts of the Everlasting Emperor Qingmu, hence she was well aware of the strength of the empire and had records of it.
The Muliutian God was also a female.
Back then, she was also a God of the tenth rank, and had good relations with her Yao dicine clan.
The willow leaf mark represented the strong bloodline of the Muliutian God and the inheritance of her divine abilities.
"You still know about my Liu Family?"
The woman was sowhat surprised, but quickly laughed, "It's not a secret. My na is Liu Qing. It's true what the noble guest said about my family lineage; however, the Muliutian God has long since passed away, defeated by ti. The present Liu Family is nothing like it was in the past. I just stay in Ningyuncheng running a small restaurant, earning so magic stones."
Yao Ling revealing her ancestor's identity made Liu Qing talk a bit more.
No one had ntioned the Muliutian God in a long ti, and she often forgot about it herself.
Yes, a Celestial God was mighty, enough to suppress a region, but who would revere or fear a deceased Celestial God?
"Oh, looks like the lineage of the Muliutian God has declined."
Yao Ling said, "The Everlasting Empire of Qingmu was so glorious in the past, with nurous Celestial Gods under it, even ones above Xuangod pledged allegiance to the Everlasting Emperor Qingmu. But after the collapse of the empire, many families of Celestial Gods were wiped out. It's already quite rare to have descendants."
This applied to her as well. Without Chu Yuan, she would still be trapped in the Southern Xuan Region.
Although the Muliutian God's lineage had also declined, it seed Liu Qing was doing alright, as she could run a restaurant in Ningyuncheng.
"Who are you?"
Liu Qing looked at Yao Ling.
"My clan's ancestors also ca from the Everlasting Empire of Qingmu. If you are familiar with historical records, you should know about the Yao dicine Clan. And I currently serve as the clan leader."
Yao Ling said with a smile.
"Yao dicine Clan...the clan that raised the longevity dicine for the Everlasting Emperor Qingmu!"
Liu Qing exclaid, "So, could it be, that you are the Emperor of the Great Wu Dynasty!"
