"You don't need to ask about my identity. I've already told you my identity. You will know it when the time comes." The Lord of Red Sand City said, "I have already said everything that should and shouldn't be said. Think it over carefully and then come to Red Sand City to find me."

"Okay." Li Xiu hung up the phone, still thinking about what the Lord of Hongsha City said.

He is not the vice president, nor is he an elder or the general manager. Apart from these people, it seems that there is only the president left in Changshengtian. This makes Li Xiu very suspicious whether the Lord of Hongsha City is the president of Changshengtian.

Li Qingyi also said that there was a problem with the invitation card that the Lord of Hongsha City gave him before, as there was no mark on which general manager it belonged to.

Based on Li Xiu's understanding of Changshengtian, Changshengtian is divided into five levels: ordinary members, super members, general president, vice president and president. The status of the elders is rather special and cannot be ranked in a single position.

The fact that he was able to introduce Li Xiu to join the association showed that the Lord of Hongsha City was not an ordinary member or a super member. However, he also denied the identities of president, vice president and elder. The only one left was president.

In fact, except for the president, the vice president and the elders do not have the power to recruit people into the association. This is why Li Xiu suspected that the Lord of Hongsha City was the president of Changshengtian.

"If the Lord of Hongsha City is really the president of Changshengtian, and I was invited by the president to join Changshengtian, my status can't be low." Li Xiu thought to himself.

After calling Ah Fei over, Li Xiu told him in detail about his plan to enter Changshengtian.

"I'll go with you." said the bandit.

"Don't worry, I'll go to Changshengtian first to find out the situation inside, and then you can go later. Someone has to support the City of Light, we can't all leave now." Li Xiu handed a card to Ah Fei and said, "Keep the money in this, in case there is any difficulty in the City of Light, it can also be used for emergency."

After Ah Fei took the card, Li Xiu thought for a moment and said, "After all, it's just something outside of your body. Don't take it too seriously. Save your life first, and everything else will be easy."

"I know." The bandit looked at Li Xiu and said, "You look like you are planning your funeral. It's not auspicious."

"What you said is the most unlucky thing." Li Xiu said depressedly.

After Ah Fei left, Li Xiu went to Ximen Guan's laboratory. When the old official saw Li Xiu, he immediately started scolding him.

Li Xiu had previously asked Chu Jun to send Lightspeed 2 over for repairs. After Ximen Guan inspected it, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Others can use a set of magic armor for a lifetime, but for Li Xiu, it can only be used once or twice in a lifetime.

After scolding for a while, seeing Li Xiu standing there without saying a word, Ximen Guan couldn't help but stop and asked in confusion: "Boy, what happened?"

"I have decided to go to Changshengtian." said Li Xiu.

Ximen Guan was shocked at first, then frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Some parts of Lightspeed II are seriously damaged, and it is difficult to repair them, but some parts can still be used, and the core is fine. Wait for me for a while, I will remove the usable parts and build you a new set of magic suits."

"You continue to make the magic armor and use it when I come back." Li Xiu did not plan to take the magic armor to Changshengtian.

"That's true. If something really happens in Changshengtian, no matter how powerful the magic suit is, it won't be able to come out." Ximen Guan said with a smile: "When we get to Changshengtian, help me go to the magic suit group to see what those bastards have researched."

"After I go to Changshengtian, please help me look after the Ye brothers and sisters." Li Xiu said thoughtfully.

Li Xiu was not too worried about the others. They all had their own ways of survival, and if the City of Light was gone they still had other ways to go.

The Ye brothers and sisters do not have so many escape routes. If the City of Light is really gone, their lives may not be easy.

Their strength is not enough to start their own business, but they have something attractive that makes people easily take advantage of them.

"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on them. Ye Xiyuan is a talented girl. When you are not around, I can only ask her to help me test the magic equipment. How could I let her get into trouble?" Ximen Guan laughed.

After leaving the laboratory, Li Xiu went to see Qin Shi again and told her that he would leave the City of Light for a while and that her problems should have been completely solved. If she wanted to return to Taro City, he could send her back on the way.

"Are you so anxious to get rid of me?" Qin Shi said unhappily.

"What? Can't bear to leave me?" Li Xiu said with a smile.

Qin Shi's cheeks flushed slightly. "What nonsense are you talking about? I just think that there is more money to be made in the City of Light than in Tyro City, so I want to stay here and earn more money."

"After your contract with Tyro City ends, you are welcome to come over at any time. The situation in Kunsha is already very bad, so help him." Li Xiu said.

"Of course I will abide by the contract. Do I need you to teach me?" Qin Shi said with a blank look at Li Xiu.

"Wait for me to come back. When I come back, I will take you to the trial field to improve your physical fitness. Even if you are a magic armor master, there is no harm in becoming a trial-taker." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"It's settled then. You have to take me to the trial field in person when the time comes." Qin Shi said with a blink.

"Of course I will personally take you to the trial field. If something unexpected happens to a magic costume master as outstanding as you, I will cry to death." Li Xiu said.

"Is it that exaggerated?" Qin Shi laughed.

…

After taking care of the matters concerning the City of Light, Li Xiu set off for the City of Red Sand.

Now he has two super spirits and demon spirits in his hands, which means he has a certain ability to protect himself. However, in a place like Changshengtian, super spirits may not be really a reliance. Fortunately, Li Xiu has other plans. If he really encounters an insurmountable hurdle, he can only think of another way.

After Li Xiu arrived at Hongsha City, the Lord of Hongsha City did not invite him to dinner this time, but just had a secret talk with him in the conference room.

"Eternal Heaven recruits new members at a fixed time every year, and a unified initiation ceremony will be held at that time. This year's initiation ceremony is a long time ago, but with my recommendation, you don't have to go through the process and join first, but there is one thing you can't avoid." The Lord of Red Sand City told him about the Blood Seal Stone: "After you arrive at the headquarters, someone will ask you to drip blood on the Blood Seal Stone every day. This cannot be resisted, otherwise it will be difficult for you to leave the Eternal Heaven alive."

"I've heard about the blood-sealed stone. I know about it." Li Xiu looked at the Lord of Hongsha City and asked, "Where is the headquarters of Changshengtian?"

"I can't tell you." The Lord of Red Sand City smiled and shook his head: "You don't need to know where that place is. Anyway, after joining the guild, find a backer first to avoid suffering."

"Who do you think I should find as a backer?" Li Xiu asked.

"It's not about who you should look for as a backer, but who wants to pull you over. Do you think those chiefs and elders of Changshengtian are cabbages on the street and you can pick whoever you want?" The Lord of Hongsha City laughed and said, "In fact, it doesn't matter who you look for as a backer. Although there are many factions in Changshengtian, it is still balanced at present. They restrain each other. As long as you can join one of them, it won't be so easy for Wan Chaoxin to cause trouble to you again."

"Which faction does Wan Chaoxin belong to?" Li Xiu thought for a moment and asked.

"The Wanchao family has always been the chief minister of Changshengtian, and has produced many elders..." The Lord of Hongsha City briefly introduced some things about the Wanchao family.

"Okay, we've said everything that needs to be said. Now you can go in." The Lord of Hongsha City brought Li Xiu to his secret room and pointed at a metal coffin on the ground.

"Is it necessary to use this?" Li Xiu frowned.

"Without this, no one dares to take you into Changshengtian." The Lord of Hongsha City laughed.

Li Xiu didn't say anything else. He pushed open the coffin lid and lay down in it.

You know what, there’s a very soft mattress and pillow inside the coffin, it’s quite comfortable to sleep in.

"Boy, I wish you good luck." The Lord of Hongsha City said as he closed the coffin lid.

It suddenly became pitch black inside the coffin, but fortunately Li Xiu had the Mirror of Darkness, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to see anything.

But there's no use being able to see it, as the coffin is so small and there's nothing to see.

Li Xiu listened attentively, but could hear nothing. The coffin had excellent sound insulation and he could not hear any sound at all.

After a while, Li Xiu felt the coffin shaking, as if it was being lifted up, and then it began to shake continuously.

Sha Chu had told Li Xiu before that every time she went to Changshengtian’s headquarters, she was carried in in a coffin.

But Li Xiu felt something was wrong. Although the coffin was constantly shaking, it felt like someone was carrying the coffin.

But from Li Xiu's point of view, this was not the shaking feeling of people carrying a coffin.

Moreover, it is impossible for such a heavy coffin to be carried into Changshengtian by humans, so it should be transported by some means.

"Is it a car or a plane?" Li Xiu felt the bumps in the coffin and judged silently in his heart.

It shouldn't be an airplane. Airplanes shouldn't be so bumpy.

It shouldn't be a train. It's even less likely that a train would shake like that. After thinking about it, it could only be a means of transportation such as a car. Only cars would shake like that when they are traveling on roads that are not easy to travel on.

"Could it be that Changshengtian's headquarters is near Hongsha City? Otherwise, why would they use cars for transportation?" Li Xiu felt something was wrong.

If Changshengtian’s headquarters is really in the Southern Cross Alliance, then this place would not be as chaotic as it is now, and all resources would have been controlled by Changshengtian long ago.

"Bang!" Li Xiu only felt the coffin shake violently, and then it stopped moving.

"We've arrived so soon?" Li Xiu was a little surprised. With his ability to perceive time, only more than an hour but less than two hours had passed. Even if it was transported by car, it shouldn't be able to go too far.

"Could it be that the Changshengtian headquarters is really nearby?" Li Xiu wondered.

While Li Xiu was thinking, the coffin lid was suddenly opened, and strong light shone in, causing Li Xiu to squint his eyes subconsciously.

A human face blocked the sunlight and appeared in Li Xiu's sight.

It is more like a mask than a human face. It is a bronze mask, just like the face of a Terracotta Warrior.

"Put this on." The masked man took a mask and handed it to Li Xiu in the coffin.

Li Xiu took the mask and looked at it, and found that it was also a bronze mask, but the face shape of the mask was somewhat different from that of the masked man.

"Do I have to wear it?" Li Xiu asked as he put the mask on his face.

"Unless you want everyone to know your true identity, then you don't have to wear it." The masked man said indifferently: "Come out and follow me."

Having said that, the masked man turned and left.

Li Xiu hurriedly came out of the coffin and began to look around, but the scene he saw made Li Xiu stunned.

He discovered that the coffins were actually on the beach by the sea. There was a metal coffin every few meters on the white sand beach. Those metal coffins were placed in a haphazard manner and could be seen everywhere on the beach.

Li Xiu was surprised to find that this seemed to be an island. At least the places he could see were surrounded by the ocean.

Although there are places near the sea in Hongsha City, there is no sea near the main city of Hongsha. Even if you drive to the beach, it will take more than an hour to get there.

Not to mention that this place looks like an island. He didn't feel like he had been on a boat before, so how did he end up on an island?

Seeing that the masked man didn't care about him at all and just kept walking forward, and was almost far away, Li Xiu hurriedly chased after him.

The beach was lined with dense forests and many plants that Li Xiu had never seen before. Li Xiu was unable to determine from the plants whether this place belonged to a certain area.

The masked man led Li Xiu along a stone path into the forest. Not long after they passed through the woods, Li Xiu saw a shocking scene.

Most people have played with a spinning top. Even if they haven't, they must have seen one. But has anyone ever seen a spinning top as big as an island?

Li Xiu saw a huge spinning top. To be more precise, it was a mountain standing on the ground like a spinning top.

But this mountain is too weird. The place where it connects to the ground is extremely thin, like the tip of a spinning top. It gets bigger as it goes up, and the top is like a huge island.

On that spinning top-like mountain, there is actually a huge city. All the buildings in the city are white, as if they were carved out of white marble.

This is like a white city built in the sky. Now, when you look at it up close, it gives you an extremely strong visual conflict.

This reminded Li Xiu of an ancient poem: There is a white jade palace in the sky, with five floors and twelve cities. The immortal touches my head, and I am blessed with immortality.

Such a beautiful and mysterious Gyro City, let alone having seen it before, I never even dreamed that there would be such a city in the world.

"Aren't the people who built the city on it afraid that the only connection with the ground below will be broken? No matter how I look at it, this Gyro Mountain looks like it will fall down at any time..." Li Xiu thought to himself.

The masked man didn't say a word, but just continued walking forward with Li Xiu.

When Li Xiu got closer and discovered that there was a huge basin under the entire Gyro Mountain, he was even more shocked.

Because within that huge basin, there are huge ancient gates everywhere, standing like tombstones in a cemetery.

There were many humans wearing bronze masks, some riding on flying spirits and landing in front of the gate, while others were riding on flying swords back to the city.

The scene was enough to shock even someone like Li Xiu who had seen the world. The trial-takers and demons that were rarely seen outside could be seen everywhere here, as if anyone would be embarrassed to go out without a demon as a mount.

Li Xiu now finally understood why Changshengtian did not occupy all the trial gates around the world.

There are probably thousands of trial gates here. With so many trial gates right around you, you can enter any one you want. Why waste time running around? There is no need at all.

All we have to do is control the gem mines around the world and bring in gems in a steady stream to open the door.

Those trial gates scattered around the world are not worth their time and energy at all.

"What on earth is this place? Is it really near the Southern Cross Federation?" Li Xiu thought to himself.

"Is there any flying mount, demon spirit or bond?" the masked man asked Li Xiu.

"No." Li Xiu shook his head.

"Then climb up by yourself." The masked man pointed in the direction of the city and said, "That's the gate of Changsheng City. Once you get there, someone will naturally register you and arrange your food and daily life."

After the masked man finished speaking, the ring on his finger transformed into a pterosaur-like demon spirit, carrying him to the gate of Changsheng City, without paying any attention to Li Xiu.

“Are the people in Changshengtian so indifferent?” Li Xiu didn’t care. After looking at them for a while, he walked down the stone steps into the basin full of trial gates.

This stone staircase leads all the way to the gate of Changsheng City, but Li Xiu doesn't quite understand how he can climb up that mountain that is like a spinning top, pointed at the bottom and wide at the top? He can't stick to the ceiling like a gecko.

From time to time, people riding on magic spirits flew through the sky. After Li Xiu went down the stairs and came to the flat ground, he directly summoned the pink nightmare to travel.

In a place like this, evil spirits are the most normal thing, and they don't have to be hidden like outside.

Li Xiu rode the pink nightmare along the cobblestone road and soon he discovered a problem.

There were actually quite a few people living in this basin. On both sides of the stone road, one could see shack-like houses everywhere. Some people in ragged clothes were standing on the roadside or in the house, staring at him with very strange looks in their eyes.

"What's going on with these people? Why are there so many people who look like beggars or scavengers in Changshengtian?" Li Xiu became more and more confused when he saw that in those shack-like areas, there were not only adult men and women, but also many men and children.

This was completely different from the Changshengtian he had imagined. The Changshengtian he had imagined was a gathering place for the world's elites.

The Changsheng City on the Gyro Mountain is very consistent with Li Xiu’s imagination of Changshengtian.

But these places at the foot of the mountain looked like slums, which completely overturned Li Xiu's cognition.

Li Zhengzheng was riding the pink nightmare and galloping forward, when he suddenly saw a person standing on the road ahead, blocking his way.

Li Xiu had no choice but to hold the pink nightmare back and looked at the person who was blocking his way.

He was a man in tattered clothes, quite tall, with a cross-shaped scar on his cheek, making him look somewhat ferocious.

"I'll take your life." The man opened his arms and a blood-red spear appeared in his hand. The tip of the spear, which was trembling and flickering, was pointed straight at Li Xiu's chest.
