Chapter 697: Chapter 487: Frontier Wilderness, Imperial City, Old Heavenly Man_2
Imperial City, ancient and enduring, stretches across the vast Frontier Wilderness, towering like a mountain peak, overlooking this heaven and earth like a mighty giant.
The first impression of this colossal city isn’t quite as imposing and broad as the frontier city walls, but it is much taller, so high that even Stone Toughness’s heavy eyes cannot see the margins.
From afar, countless exaggerated auroras shimr on the city walls, uncountable supre Immortal Path symbols, large formations, and even around the Imperial City, one could see one large star after another encircling it, the galaxy revolving around its periphery.
Just like the ancient and introverted city walls on the Frontier Wilderness, the duration of the Imperial City’s existence is equally imasurable. However, perhaps tainted by too much war and blood, this magnificent city ensconced here like a crouching tiger or coiled bear, despite the throngs, still feels devoid of life, akin to a dead city.
Legend has it that the entire Imperial City was built from countless remnants of stars. As many as the stars that fell in those years is how tall this colossal city is.
Historical records show that among humans, seven Kings were endowed with supre glory in this place.
...
Pity that the ti of old has beco forever history, of those seven Kings, a few were deed traitors, their descendants beca the sinful blood of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
“After entering the Imperial City, do not follow the great elders, and never move recklessly!” ng Tian Zheng landed on the deck of the ancient ship and said sternly.
At the sa ti, he flipped his hand and fished out a piece of bone armor from his waist. The next mont, ripples like water waves emanated from the bone armor, covering the heads of a group of heavenly geniuses.
This is the most supre place in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. If anyone recklessly barges in, they will be crushed into dust by the imperial dignity of the city in an instant. Only having an exclusive item belonging to this place would allow the freedom to co and go.
The mont they entered the Imperial City, Shi Hao and the others imdiately felt countless horrific gazes looking their way, brazenly sizing them up.
The young prodigies from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths imdiately sprouted red faces, feeling a sensation of being subrged.
However, these stares ca suddenly and disappeared just as suddenly. Soon, everything returned to normal, as if nothing ever happened.

“Those were once our predecessors, the older generation. At the last mont of their lives, they chose to enter the Imperial City and permanently reside here. They are the true city defenders who, barring accidents, will stay here until they perish!” ng Tian Zheng explained.
After traveling another distance, he brought the hundred heavenly prodigies to a mansion.
The ancient boat then slowly ca to a stop.
“This is where you will stay and receive your missions. You may all go down now!” ng Tian Zheng spoke, not lingering in this place, but setting off deeper into the area.
He needed to et his old friends and understand the current situation in the Frontier Wilderness.
“Look, that seems to be the Old Heavenly Man from the Celestial Clan, he’s actually here too!”
After getting off the ancient ship, a group of people imdiately followed the elders of their courtyards to find their own rooms. Cao Yu Sheng suddenly pointed in a direction and spoke.
Shi Hao, Tu Wa Zi, Gu Chen and others imdiately looked in the direction he pointed. In their sight, a thin figure appeared unmistakably.
The figure dressed in a gray long robe, white hair casually tied up with a wooden pin, his clothes fluttering, giving him sowhat the appearance of an Immortal.
Several of them were a little surprised. It was indeed the Old Heavenly Man. They hadn’t expected him to be here.
Back then, in the bloody plains, fighting to protect his own tribe, the Old Heavenly Man had contended with an ancestor of the War Tribe. The re residual force left from the conflict had shattered the plains.
So much ti had passed and the Old Heavenly Man was still alive, which surprised them.
You should know, his power might not be top notch, but he’s of great age, longer-lived than many more powerful figures. From the Ancient Tis till now, understandably, his previous sacrifice should have been the end, the final stage. They hadn’t expected him to still be vibrant.
Perhaps it’s because Cao Yu Sheng’s voice was too loud, or perhaps the Old Heavenly Man had already noticed Shi Hao and the others. Just as his voice dropped, the Old Heavenly Man walked straight over.
Following behind the Old Heavenly Man were two middle-aged Celestials, elders of the Celestial Clan, dressed in silver armor, now serving as law enforcers in the Frontier Wilderness.
“Unexpected to see you young ones here, it’s been a long ti, I’ve even missed you!”
The Old Heavenly Man appeared to be in good spirits, talking cheerily.
Cao Yu Sheng cheerfully clasped his fists, while Lin Hai and the others rely nodded.
Shi Hao said nothing, his gaze was even a bit frosty.
Back in Three Thousand Zones, he had escorted Yun Xi for hundreds of thousands of miles, evading the War Tribe’s pursuit. But when they reached the Celestial Clan, they coveted his Kun Peng Treasure Technique and even attacked him to obtain it. If it wasn’t for his good fortune, he might have already died at the hands of the Celestial Clan. How could he have a positive attitude?
Of course, he did not end up with nothing; the Sacrificial Spirit of the Celestial Clan was wiped out because of him.
“I hadn’t expected to see you here as well, Shi. You’ve grown so much in such a short ti. I’m quite stunned that, at your age, you’ve already reached the Void God Realm. Frankly, it’s quite embarrassing. If I’d known this would happen, I’d have insisted that Yun Xi form a divine pair with you. However, I’m uncertain if it’s too late?” With deliberate intent, the Old Heavenly Man looked at Shi Hao and said, “If you still want Yun Xi, agree to a request of mine, and I will not stand in your way!”
“Find the Elixir of Immortality for . Once you find it, not only will I let you form a divine pair with Yun Xi, but I’ll also let your descendants inherit the position of Clan Leader and hold countless privileges!”
“You’re afraid that I won’t die quickly enough!” Shi Hao scoffed, his impression of the Old Heavenly Man deteriorating further.
As for Yun Xi, she was indeed a lively, cute, and kind girl, but the two were simply not destined to be together.
“This isn’t up to you. Do you think you still have the ability to choose in front of this old man?” The Old Heavenly Man retorted indifferently.
Lin Hai, who had been watching, couldn’t help but laugh coldly. “You’re indeed dreaming beautifully, Old Man. Expecting him to find the Elixir of Immortality for you? Why not just ask him to beco immortal right now? Such rare treasures, even if they exist, would have powerful guardians, let alone Shi Hao, even you would face a great risk of death if you tried to obtain one.”
Lin Hai had always found the Old Heavenly Man hypocritical. He pretended to be kind and amiable, but he was cruel and scheming in truth.
“Young man, do you know whom you’re speaking to?!”
The Old Heavenly Man’s face changed, the temperature surrounding them plumted. It felt like the stars in the sky were about to fall.
After coming out of his intense training period, in order to stay alive and prolong his life, he had been imdiately sent to the frontier where he had been passed over for other assignnts. He had always been stationed there and hence had not heard of Liu Village.
“Old Heavenly Man, you’ve gone too far!”
At that mont, a rather solemn voice rang out.
The next mont, a slim, tall figure landed in front of them.
It was ng Tian Zheng, who had sensed the disturbance and imdiately rushed over.
On seeing ng Tian Zheng, the Old Heavenly Man’s expression changed instantly. He had not expected the great elder from Heavenly’s God Academy to suddenly appear. Those law enforcers in their armor, holding sharp weapons, swallowed hard, their legs trembling involuntarily.
In the vast Frontier Wilderness, ng Tian Zheng’s status and position were absolutely top-tier. Even though he didn’t command everything, he held unimaginable power and could control a large army.
Most importantly, ng Tian Zheng was at the Extre Supre Path Stage, having reached the limit of the Human Path Domain. He could be considered a Semi-step True Immortal, and even without such status and position, he could suppress them at will. Even the Old Heavenly Man couldn’t compete with him.
The Old Heavenly Man had rely lived a long ti, from ancient tis to the present, through countless millions of years, but his power couldn’t compare to ng Tian Zheng’s.
“I hadn’t expected the Great Elder to find ti to visit my Law enforcent hall in the midst of his busy schedule. I apologize for the lack of a decent welco.” The Old Heavenly Man bowed his fist and said dispiritedly.
“Old Heavenly Man, this is the Frontier Wilderness, not your Celestial Clan. The Law Enforcent Hall is not your personal court. At your age, you should not be so ostentatious. If you dare to harm them, believe it or not, in the next mont, your head will hit the ground?!”
With an unchanged expression, ng Tian Zheng spoke directly, not threatening but earnestly warning.
