Chapter 535
When Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi learned that the Fifth Prince had been stripped of his status as a prince and demoted to a commoner by the royal family of the Divine Eagle Nation, they were on their way with other Star Sword Sect disciples to the location of the teleportation array to participate in the Eight-Nation Tournament.
This time, the sect leader led the team personally, and an eighth-level martial saint elder followed him. The strength of the entire team was quite impressive.
Yuan Jing was filled with emotion. No wonder Fengyan Kingdom was so weak. The best thing Fengyan Kingdom could boast was just a military general who was in charge of the royal family. Besides, he was very old and it would be difficult for him to be promoted. If they just sent a military general with strong strength, the entire Fengyan Kingdom could be wiped out in one fell swoop.
Fortunately, Fengyan Kingdom now has the Thirteenth Prince Duan Linzhi as its backer. Other small countries with equal status to Fengyan Kingdom no longer dare to take action against Fengyan Kingdom. Emperor Duan also mentioned in his letter that the royal families of those small countries are now very honest. Moreover, they also want to learn from the Duan royal family and rack their brains to send their own princes to large sects, trying to have a warrior like Duan Linzhi appear in their own royal family.
The Star Sect Master brought out the sect's largest Nebula Shuttle. The Star Sword Sect was not as wealthy as other sects, but it had to at least put on some show. Driven by him and the eighth-rank Martial Saint elder, the Nebula Shuttle pierced through the clouds and broke through the air at an extremely fast speed. It only took a few days to reach Wanghai City. The teleportation array was in Wanghai City, and Wanghai City also attracted a large number of people because of this teleportation array.
Even if there was no eight-nation competition, after Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi finished touring this area, they would go to the continent on the other side of the sea through the teleportation array or by crossing the sea on their own.
A vast sea area divides the Xuanwu Continent into two territories, one of which is controlled by the three major empires, and the other side of the sea is the territory of the five major empires.
The teleportation array is guarded by a special person, and each time the teleportation array is used, a thousand medium-grade Yuan stones are required. Before leaving Fengyan Country, Yuan Jingke had only seen low-grade Yuan stones, and at that time he had no idea about the grade of Yuan stones.
Yuan Jing asked curiously, "Are the people guarding the teleportation array appointed by the messenger from the upper realm?"
Sect Master Xing answered Yuan Jing's question with great interest: "When the envoys from the upper realm come to our continent, they will select a group of servants from the local warriors of the continent. Most of these servants are young and talented. Tasks such as guarding the teleportation array will be given to the servants to manage."
Yuan Jing understood: "From now on, these servants will also be branded with the mark of the power to which the envoys from the upper realm belong."
Sect Master Xing looked at Yuan Jing with appreciation and said, "Yes, that's right. The interests of the envoys from the upper realm are not the same. They will change a group of people every fifty years, and the people who come are not all from the same force. Now this group of envoys has been in our continent for forty-six years. There are four years left before the handover. At that time, a new group of attendants will be selected, and the original group will follow them to the upper realm."
Yuan Jing asked again: "Is the Eight-Nation Tournament also for the purpose of competing for a place in the upper realm?"
Sect Master Xing smiled and said, "The quota is just one of the options. You should know that anything that comes down from the upper realm, no matter how ordinary it is, is a rare treasure for us in Xuanwu Continent."
Yuan Jing understood and said, "After all, it is something from the upper realm. Even a blade of grass pulled up from the upper realm and brought down is a treasure to us."
"Haha, that's exactly it."
The others also laughed after hearing Yuan Jing's description.
Every time this season comes, Wanghai City is the most lively. All major forces and powerful people gather here and go to the other end through the teleportation array. Some warriors who are not short of Yuanshi will also go to the other side to watch the grand event of the entire Xuanwu Continent. It is even more lively than the Three Kingdoms League.
But this time the atmosphere in Wanghai City was a little bit off. When they found out it was related to the Divine Eagle Country, those who knew the inside story were not surprised. Who asked that prince to stir up trouble at such a critical moment? The resentment and rift could not be eliminated by simply removing the fifth prince from the royal family.
The Xingjian Sect ignored the lawsuit between them and waited for the royal family of the Jinchi Kingdom to arrive, then they activated the teleportation array and set off together.
Compared with the other two countries, the Jinchi Kingdom is unusually quiet. Perhaps the Jinchi Kingdom and the Xingjian Sect influence each other, especially in their style of doing things. The royal warriors led by the Golden Emperor also have a very powerful aura.
The royal family of the Jinchi Kingdom is surnamed Jin. The Jin Emperor invited Sect Master Xing to enter the teleportation array together.
Batches of people were teleported out. Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi stepped into the teleportation array together. After a while, they set foot on another piece of land.
The Xing Sect leader waved at the two men, and when they came closer, he introduced them to Jin Huang who was standing next to him, "This is our Xing Sword Sect's Xijian Peak's Peak Master Lin Zhi," and pointed at Yuan Jing and said, "This is our Danjian Peak's disciple Zhai Yuanjing."
The Golden Emperor looked to be about 40 years old, with a very deep aura. Yuan Jing was not surprised that he was a Martial Saint, otherwise he would not be able to sit firmly on the throne of the Golden Scarlet Nation. His tiger eyes shone with light, and he said loudly: "Good! Good! As expected, his cultivation is very solid. This time our Golden Scarlet Nation will surely achieve good results." He also pointed to his side, "This is my son Jin Huang, he is also a military general now, you young people should talk more."
Looking at his expression, you can tell that he is very proud of his son. Yes, Jin Huang is not much older than Duan Linzhi, and he has become a military commander at such a young age, which is something to be proud of.
Yuan Jing was moved after watching it. As expected, in the previous Three Kingdoms League, the real talents had not appeared. He believed that the three royal families had their own trained players who were just waiting to show their talents in the Eight-Nation Tournament.
Jin Huang clasped his fists and said, "Master Duan, please give me more guidance in the future."
Duan Linzhi returned the greeting: "Seventh Prince, you are too polite."
Jin Huang smiled: "I know that Master Duan Feng is also a prince, the thirteenth prince of Fengyan Kingdom. It seems that we are destined to be together."
If this can be related to fate, then Jin Huang must have a greater fate with the fifth prince of the Divine Eagle Kingdom who was previously expelled from the list.
Jin Huang looked at Yuan Jing next to Duan Linzhi. He actually looked down upon all the talents that emerged in the Three Kingdoms League. The only one he valued was Duan Linzhi. Duan Linzhi did not have the rich resources that he had in the Jin royal family, but such a person relied on himself to reach the same height as him step by step. What did this show? It showed that this person's talent and resilience were even better than his.
Such a talent could be his opponent, so Jin Huang paid close attention to all kinds of news about Duan Linzhi. He found out that this man kept a young warrior with him all the time, and even did not abandon him when he went out for training. He became interested in Zhai Yuanjing. Unfortunately, the information he could get was very little. He only knew that not only Duan Linzhi, but even the Xingjian Sect valued this young warrior very much.
So, this young warrior must have a lot of secrets. Jin Huang discovered that this young man's realm has actually reached a high-level great martial artist. As far as he knows, this young man has only been in the Star Sword Sect for a few years.
After coming out of the teleportation array, they flew on the Nebula Shuttle for two days and arrived at a huge city.
Jin Huang introduced them: "This city does not belong to any country. It is located in the center of the five countries. It is a city built by the messengers from the upper realm. Look over there. That mountain is the highest peak in the entire Xuanwu Continent. You can't see the end at a glance, and the messengers from the upper realm live on top of that mountain."
Following the direction of Jin Huang's finger, Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi both looked up. Sure enough, the mountain not only covered a vast area, but also towered into the clouds. The upper half was completely obscured by clouds and mist, making it impossible to see the scene above clearly.
This city is called Xuanwu City, and the entire Xuanwu City is built with that mountain as the center.
Yuan Jing asked curiously, "Is the passage to the upper world also up there?"
"Yes, it is on that mountain peak. The messenger from the upper realm is responsible for guarding the passage."
Yuan Jing continued to ask: "That passage is the only passage for our Xuanwu Continent warriors to go to the upper realm, right? What are the requirements to enter that passage?"
Jin Huang replied patiently, "Yes, there are two ways. One is to enter the top 50 in the Eight Nations Tournament. Of course, if you have outstanding achievements in alchemy, talismans, and formations, you can also get this place. The second way is to go up the mountain by yourself. Once you enter the passage, your life and death are at your own risk. The environment in the passage is extremely dangerous. It is said that only one in ten people who pass the passage will survive. But if you get a place in the tournament and get a token, the token can protect you from the test of passing the passage."
Yuan Jing turned into a curious baby: "What's the difference between this and becoming a messenger's attendant?"
Jin Huang laughed loudly: "Of course there is a difference. Take the Xingjian Sect as an example. The attendants are equivalent to the errand boys and outer disciples in the Xingjian Sect, while the warriors who have obtained the tokens are equivalent to the inner disciples."
"I see. I finally understand. The Seventh Prince is indeed well-informed."
After settling down, the first thing everyone did was to go out for a stroll in Xuanwu City. Feng Jing put down his bag and ran impatiently to Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi. This was the first time for this group of young men to come to the Eight-Nation Tournament, which was held once every ten years, so they were very excited.
"I have already asked other brothers about this. Xuanwu City has the most complete supplies. The largest trading companies on the continent have their headquarters in Xuanwu City. It is said that some of the big trading companies can even get items from the upper world. Oh, yes, Jinming Pavilion will hold an auction in three days. According to the news released now, there will be items from the upper world at the auction."
Yuan Jing shook his head and said, "We can only watch the excitement at this kind of auction. Any item brought out at the auction will probably be sold at a sky-high price. We can't afford it."
Feng Jingxin said: "It's good to broaden your horizons. Junior brother, you don't know that many warriors here regard our warriors as country bumpkins."
Yuan Jing was amused: "It's just like the people of the three great empires regard our Fengyan warriors as country bumpkins."
Feng Jing also laughed. That was exactly the case. Because of this, the Yan Kingdom had gained great popularity in the last Three Kingdoms League and made those city people take notice of it.
