The gate of the Zhulong Imperial City was thousands of feet high, solid and heavy. The gate was open, and on both sides were guarded by some powerful warriors in black armor. Each of them had a cold look in their eyes and was filled with murderous intent. They were all experienced warriors and extremely powerful.
Although those genius trialists from all over the world had their own pride, they had to be cautious and line up obediently to enter the city when they felt the aura emanating from those powerful warriors.
"Private fighting is prohibited in Zhulong Emperor City. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed immediately!"
"To enter the Candle Dragon Emperor City, you must obey the orders of the garrison commander. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!"
"Anyone who dares to burn, kill, rob, or commit robbery in the Candle Dragon Emperor City will be killed without mercy!"
"Three days later, the content of the test will be revealed in the central square of Zhulong Imperial City. Only those who pass the test can leave Zhulong Imperial City. Those who are unwilling to participate in the test will be killed without mercy!"
"… "
A black-armored warrior, clearly the leader of many guards, was extremely powerful, having already reached the realm of a high-level emperor. His eyes were as sharp as lightning as he scanned the crowd.
He held a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand and read the contents on it with a voice as loud as thunder.
A series of words of killing without mercy shocked everyone.
"Guardian?"
There was a gleam of light in Ling Xiao's eyes.
He didn't expect that there was a garrison commander in the Zhulong Imperial City.
"The Guardian is a powerful being on the Eternal Imperial Road who was chosen by Heaven to serve as the Guardian. Those who guard the Imperial City are also powerful people from various races!"
Evil thought explained.
"The creatures on the Eternal Emperor Road? Won't they steal the good fortune?"
Ling Xiao asked.
“It is said that all the creatures on the Eternal Emperor Road are cursed by the Heavenly Dao and will never be able to become an emperor in their lifetime. Therefore, the chance of becoming an emperor and the secret of transcendence on the Eternal Emperor Road are of no use to them! On the contrary, if they can perform their duties faithfully and guard the Imperial City, they will also be rewarded by the Heavenly Dao when the Eternal Emperor Road ends!”
Evil thoughts said.
"I see!"
Ling Xiao nodded.
Ling Xiao followed many trial-takers and lined up to enter the Zhulong Imperial City.
The Zhulong Emperor City was unexpectedly prosperous, and Ling Xiao almost thought he had come to a city in the mortal world.
There are many shops on both sides of the wide street, and waiters are shouting hard at the doors to attract customers.
After obtaining the treasures, some independent cultivators set up small stalls on both sides of the street and continued to deceive the trial-takers passing by.
Ling Xiao felt very familiar with this scene.
"Are they all living beings on the Eternal Emperor Road?"
There was a gleam in Ling Xiao's eyes, and he understood this situation.
It is not easy for the creatures on the Eternal Emperor Road to obtain resources for cultivation. On the Eternal Emperor Road, the original power is already very thin, so even after countless years of cultivation, it is difficult for them to improve their cultivation.
But on the Eternal Emperor Road, there are many natural treasures that are not found in the heavens and all worlds, which are exactly what the trial-takers and geniuses need.
Especially some truly precious Origin Beads, which may not be of much use to the creatures on the Eternal Emperor Road, but to the trial-takers and geniuses in the heavens and myriad worlds, they are treasures for improving their strength.
The exchange of what they have has turned the imperial city into an extremely prosperous trading place.
"Origin beads? Perhaps, I can buy some origin beads in the Imperial City?"
Ling Xiao's gaze fell on the stalls on both sides, and his eyes lit up slightly.
On those stalls were placed some rare treasures, some specialties from the chaos, and more importantly, various kinds of origin beads.
But without exception, those origin beads are all of medium to low quality.
Ling Xiao didn’t even see a complete origin bead.
"I should be able to buy a perfect origin bead in this Candle Dragon Imperial City, right?"
Ling Xiao thought secretly in his heart.
The medium to low quality Origin Beads were of no use to him.
If he wanted to refine and fuse the Origin Bead, it must be an Origin Bead of perfect quality, so that he could improve his cultivation and would not leave any hidden dangers.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao walked forward.
He walked around the Zhulong Imperial City and finally stopped in front of a magnificent and imposing palace.
Creation Building!
This Creation Building is extremely grand and magnificent. The servants there all have the cultivation level of the Heavenly Venerate, and most of the customers coming in and out are trial-takers with extremely powerful auras.
Presumably, this Creation Building should be the largest treasure trading place in the Zhulong Imperial City.
"Sir, welcome to the Creation Building!"
Seeing Ling Xiao walking towards the Creation Tower, a handsome young man immediately came up to greet him.
The servant was dressed in black, but he actually had the cultivation level of the first level of the Emperor Realm. There was a mysterious aura of chaos around him. He was the creature of the Eternal Emperor Road.
His eyes were extremely sharp, and he could tell Ling Xiao's extraordinaryness at a glance. He came up to him directly, appearing extremely enthusiastic.
"What's in the Creation Building?"
Ling Xiao asked calmly while looking at the Creation Building.
"Sir, my Fortune Tower is the largest treasure tower in Zhulong Imperial City. It contains everything in the universe and contains countless treasures of Fortune! Most of the 108 Imperial Cities have branches of my Fortune Tower!"
The black-clad servant said with great pride.
“It’s still chained?”
Ling Xiao was slightly stunned. It seemed that he had not come to the wrong place. The Creation Building must have the treasure he needed. Suddenly, he felt more expectant.
"Do you have an origin bead?"
Ling Xiao asked.
"Origin beads? Of course we have them! I wonder what quality of origin beads you need? We have low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade origin beads in our Creation Building!"
The black-clad servant nodded repeatedly.
"I just need the perfect origin bead!"
Ling Xiao said calmly.
"The perfect origin bead?"
The black-clothed servant was startled all over and immediately looked at Ling Xiao deeply.
"What? There is no perfect quality origin bead in the Creation Building?"
Ling Xiao frowned.
"Sir, there are naturally perfect quality origin beads in my Creation Building! But you should know that after the Eternal Emperor Road was opened, countless trialists entered the Eternal Emperor Road, and the origin beads were in great demand, especially the perfect quality origin beads, which were extremely expensive!"
The black-clothed servant said with some embarrassment.
"A sky-high price? Don't worry, as long as the Origin Pearl can satisfy me, the Origin Pill is not a problem!"
Ling Xiao said lightly.
Origin Pill is the hard currency on the road to Eternal Emperor.
On the Eternal Emperor Road, the power of origin is thin, and those creatures on the Eternal Emperor Road are in great need of the Origin Pill.
And those powerful trial-takers need to go through countless battles and also need Origin Pills as replenishment.
But Ling Xiao’s path is different from theirs. His Hongmeng Immortal Body can devour everything. The power in his body is inexhaustible and self-generated.
