He traveled across thousands of mountains and rivers, all over the country, and spent more than half a year.

On the way, Jiang Zhige encountered vicious monsters and cunning monks, and almost lost his life several times, but fortunately he was able to avoid them all with his caution.

Until one day, Jiang Zhige finally heard the news about Zixiao City from a fellow Taoist.

Zixiao City is controlled by the Nangong family. It is a powerful family that is the overlord of Chaozhou and also the top family in Chaozhou.

Jiang Zhige thought to himself that it was the first time he heard the word Chaozhou. It seemed that he didn't understand the world he lived in very well.

After some understanding, Jiang Zhige realized that the world he was in was called Heaven, one of the three major divine realms, and possessed the original power that could give birth to a great emperor.

The heavenly plane is at an extremely high level and is surrounded by a wall. It is difficult to break through the wall and reach the heavenly plane.

In the heavenly realm, there are three continents: East, South, and West, as well as the Far North.

The area where Jiang Zhige is located is the Eastern Continent, which has 108 states, among which Chaozhou is only a middle-ranked region.

For mortals, a state is a realm, and it is difficult to reach other states in a lifetime, so the customs and habits between states vary greatly.

Only the civilization of those who practice Taoism has always been unified. Most of them pursue immortality and are not restricted by clothing and habits.

"I still miss the civilization of thousands of years ago."

"Today, the heavenly realm not only has four boundaries, namely the east, west, south and north, but also has a Xuancang Holy Land."

"It's a pity that the holy place of cultivation in the past is going to be destroyed by our own hands."

"When it comes to the unification of civilization, this may be the only action that has made the Demon Emperor a great success since he became emperor."

Everyone in the hall was filled with emotion. In fact, a thousand years ago, although the civilizations in the immortal cultivation world were almost the same, most of the forces hated each other and wanted to compete for each other's resources to improve themselves.

At that time, there was no emperor in the heaven, and the sects and forces were constantly fighting each other. There was no telling whether they would be taken advantage of by forces from other realms. It was a dark age in the heaven.

This changed after Jiang Zhige became emperor. He ordered that all forces in the heavenly realm would be under his command, and anyone who had dissenting opinions would be killed without mercy.

All the major sects had no choice but to stop fighting each other and submit to Jiang Zhige. The forces with strong men in the Wenxuan realm had to pay tribute to the Xuancang Holy Land every year to complete the unification of the heavenly realm.

All under heaven belongs to the king, and all within the four seas are the king's subjects. Jiang Zhige interprets this sentence perfectly.

The Xuancang Holy Land did not exist originally, but was a small world opened up by Jiang Zhige himself. The spiritual energy in it was powerful and extremely suitable for cultivation, and the area was as vast as a state.

Unfortunately, Jiang Zhige was violent and merciless, and tyrannical. He only allowed his trusted followers to stay in the Xuan Cang Holy Land. He constantly exploited other forces in the heavens and even incorporated many demon cultivators into the Xuan Cang Holy Land.

So although it is called a holy land, it is actually similar to the devil's land. Jiang Zhige calls himself the Emperor Xuancang, but is privately called the Demon Lord or the Demon Emperor by everyone.

If Jiang Zhige was willing to benefit the beings in the heavens and protect the heavens with the power of the Great Emperor, how could he have fallen to this point today? After learning the specific direction of Zixiao Tiancheng, Jiang Zhige immediately set out for Zixiao Tiancheng.

But after traveling for several days and nights, when he arrived at the place that fellow Taoist mentioned, he could not see the so-called Zixiao City.

Jiang Zhige's heart sank. Could it be that the fellow Taoist was deliberately playing a trick on him?

But that Taoist friend was kind and friendly, and he even shared his cultivation experiences with Jiang Zhige. He didn't seem like someone who would make such a joke.

Jiang Zhige searched the area for a long time but found no other solution so he just asked an old man working in the fields.

"Purple Sky City? Young man, are you kidding? That is a fairy city. I have heard rumors about it, but how could I have seen it?"

The old man carrying the hoe laughed in silence. He had lived nearby for nearly sixty years and had only heard of the rumors about the Purple Sky City, but had never seen the immortals with his own eyes.

In his opinion, immortals and immortal cities might just be a legend and do not exist at all.

Jiang Zhige was secretly delighted when he heard this. Since an old mortal had heard the rumors about Zixiao City, it proved that Zixiao City was indeed nearby, but he had no way to find it.

Seeing that Jiang Zhige still didn't give up, the old man shook his head and said casually: "If you really want to find it, then go to the sky. Zixiao Tiancheng is the celestial city where immortals live, so it is naturally in the sky."

Jiang Zhige suddenly realized that it seemed that the fellow Taoist had not lied to him, and Zixiao City was indeed here.

However, there are mortals living around, which proves that Zixiao City is not set up with a concealing formation on the ground, but is directly located in the sky. No wonder he couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

"Thanks for your advice, old man."

Jiang Zhige bowed in thanks, then took out a magic sword from his storage ring and flew into the sky on the magic sword.

Now he has reached the middle stage of Dao Seed Realm. Although he cannot fly in the air yet, with the help of the lower-grade Xuan-level spiritual sword left by his master Yao Qianji, he can fly for a short period of time.

Seeing Jiang Zhige stepping on the magic sword and leaving, the old man who had been disapproving a second ago suddenly froze in place.

"Immortal, Immortal?!"

The old man's legs went weak and he fell to the ground, kneeling repeatedly in the direction of Jiang Zhige.

Thinking about how he had dared to have such a casual conversation with the immortal, the old man couldn't help but feel terrified.

Jiang Zhige looked down and saw the old man kneeling down. He did not feel proud at all, but instead felt an inexplicable sadness.

Why should an old man in his seventies kneel down to a young man in his early twenties?

Is there really such a gap between immortals and mortals? When Jiang Zhige first became a disciple of his master, he saw the people kneeling down to pay respect to his master, which gave him a strong yearning.

Now that I think about it, immortals are actually no different from mortals. They also have seven emotions and six desires, and they also have loyalty, kindness, and hatred. They just can live a few more years than mortals.

Jiang Zhige has been practicing Taoism for more than ten years. Although he has the power to fly, he has never done anything great to benefit all living beings. He is really unworthy of the old man's kneeling ceremony.

"The greatest immortals guard the gates of heaven, suppress demons, and pacify the chaotic world."

"It sounds good, but I have become just like an ordinary person these years. My head is full of worldly affairs, and I have long forgotten my original ambitions."

Jiang Zhige sighed inwardly, and thinking back to the conversation he had with his master Yao Qianji, he felt a little embarrassed.
