Chapter 444: Wang Xiyuan

Time passage.

“Buzz!”

In the blink of an eye, five days were gone.

Ji Chen sat cross-legged in the room of the chariot. After several days of settling, finally, at this moment, his cultivation broke through the bottleneck and successfully entered the Reincarnation Realm Third Layer Realm.

“With the Hongmeng Body, coupled with the power of Immortal Format, with my current cultivation in the Reincarnation Realm Third Layer, even against strong individuals of the Reincarnation Realm Fourth or even Fifth Layer, I still have a chance to fight.”

He exhaled deeply, a look of confidence appearing in his eyes.

It’s not that Ji Chen is arrogant; rather, the assistance brought by the Immortal Format is very real.

Such a thing, even within this Immortal Realm, is not possessed by everyone.

At least, according to Ji Chen’s understanding, for families like the Yao Family, obtaining an Immortal Format is definitely not a simple matter.

Only those ancient sects, like Turquoise Pool, can produce them.

And because of this, once it is exposed that Ji Chen possesses an Immortal Format, without a powerful force to back him, he may very likely be targeted by others who wish to seize his Immortal Format.

So, except in situations of necessity, Ji Chen would not easily use the power of the Immortal Format to avoid attracting attention from the ambitious.

“Young Master, we have arrived.”

Outside the room, Yao Qian’s voice suddenly came.

Ji Chen rose, opened the door, and then walked out.

He and Yao Qian went to the front of the chariot, and upon looking out, a tremendously grand ancient city came into view.

Yanxian City, this is the most prosperous place within Yanzhou, truly a place where strong individuals gather as a forest. Its status within Yanzhou is akin to that of the Holy City in Celestial Martial Beiyou.

And cities like this Immortal City do not only exist in Yanzhou. Within the nine provinces of the Immortal Realm, each has one, such as Spirit Immortal City in Lingzhou, which is also the central hub of its area.

The chariot descended onto a square within the city.

Ji Chen and Yao Qian’s arrival did not attract much attention.

Because in such a prosperous ancient city, many cultivators passing by have extraordinary backgrounds and statuses, and the chariots they drive are far more luxurious than those of the Yao Family.

“So, this is the central city of Yanzhou…”

Standing on the square, Ji Chen scanned everything around him and couldn’t help but feel surprised.

The bustling sights and grand buildings of the city were unprecedented for him.

Not only that, he could also sense that the pedestrians on the streets all had extraordinary auras.

Previously in Liu City, Great Saints were commonplace, but Emperor Realm level strong individuals were rare, with only one in every thousand people being a cultivator of the Reincarnation Emperor Realm.

But here, strong individuals of the Reincarnation Realm are common, almost one in every ten people could be found!

Even Emperor Realm strong individuals, who in Liu City were regarded as top-tier, are insignificant now that they’ve arrived in Yanxian City.

Inside and outside of Yanxian City, there are too many families and sects, making the competition extremely fierce.

And because of this, walking on the streets of Yanxian City, Emperor Realm strong individuals, who are rarely seen, can often be encountered.

These figures are mostly the higher-ups of some families in the city or the Grand Elders of sects outside the city, their identities being remarkable.

Ji Chen finally understood why Yao Qian valued the entry examination of the Profound Celestial Pavilion so much.

As a sect with notable reputation in Yanzhou, the strength of Profound Celestial Pavilion is not simple; strong individuals in Liu City who are known as top-tier, in Profound Celestial Pavilion, are at most considered ordinary Elders.

This shows that the overall strength of such a sect is far superior to that of the Yao Family.

“The entry examination of Profound Celestial Pavilion will be held in three days, and this examination has attracted quite a few talented youths. Reportedly, Profound Celestial Pavilion has increased the number of entry slots from one hundred to two hundred because of this.”

“As one of the few major sects in Yanzhou, the once-every-ten-years entry examination of Profound Celestial Pavilion attracts too many young talents. This year, it’s even more. It’s estimated at least thousands, if not nearly tens of thousands, will participate in this entry examination. If the slots were only one hundred, the competition would be overwhelmingly fierce; even now, with an increase to two hundred, I feel it’s still too few.”

“There’s no other way, because such a major sect as Profound Celestial Pavilion only recruits the elite. Without extraordinary potential and talent, no one is qualified to be chosen by them.”

In a tavern, Ji Chen and Yao Qian arrived there, sitting at a window seat with a pot of wine and a few side dishes, hearing discussions from some cultivators nearby, the topics almost entirely revolving around Profound Celestial Pavilion.

“Due to the upcoming entry examination of Profound Celestial Pavilion these past few days, Linxian City is much livelier than usual, with many young talents arriving. There are even a few who made names for themselves years ago in Yanzhou, reportedly all appearing in Yanxian City.”

“It’s said that tonight, at the ‘Immortal Spirit Manor’ in the southern part of the city, there will be a gathering of young talents. Who knows what heroes will appear?”

Such news reached Ji Chen’s ears, piquing his interest.

Though he initially arrived in Immortal Realm, and despite learning quite a lot through a directory, the information he possesses is still limited. He wonders how the younger generation in Immortal Realm compares to that of the Lower Realm Plane?

“It’s said Wang Xiyuan has also arrived, seen appearing in Yanxian City several days ago. I wonder if he’ll attend tonight’s young gathering?”

“Oh? The genius from the Lower Realm three years ago?”

“Indeed, throughout history, although many have traversed the Ancient Immortal Road from the Lower Realm to arrive in Immortal Realm, most eventually remain buried in this grand era, with very few managing to make a mark. Wang Xiyuan is one of them.”

“He should be the most stunning genius from the Lower Realm in the last few hundred years, right?”

Many were discussing, with the topic gradually revolving around the name Wang Xiyuan.

Yao Qian perceived the confusion on Ji Chen’s face and commented, “I’ve also heard of this individual. When he first arrived in Immortal Realm three years ago, he challenged the talents of various sects and Noble Families, demonstrating formidable capabilities, and thus made a name. Within Yanzhou, among all those who ascended from the Lower Realm this century, no one’s talent and potential can match his.”

“To make a reputation in this Immortal Realm, filled with outstanding individuals, and be known by the world shows that Wang Xiyuan is indeed noteworthy.” Ji Chen nodded, silently memorizing the name, wondering if he would have the fortune to meet him in Yanxian City.
