"The Twelve Imperial Cities don't have garrisons, but they can have masters! Although the masters of the Twelve Imperial Cities cannot use the power of Heaven to suppress the enemy like the garrisons, they can gain Heaven's recognition, participate in the origin of the Three Thousand Great Daos, and achieve extremely fast cultivation speed!"
Zhao Ritian looked at Ling Xiao and explained.
"Participate in the performance of the origin of the Three Thousand Great Daos?"
Ling Xiao's eyes lit up slightly.
If he could become the master of the Imperial City, he would have such benefits, which made him somewhat tempted.
After all, Ling Xiao's path is different from that of others. He needs to participate in the Three Thousand Great Ways and gather the origins of the Three Thousand Great Ways before he can reach the highest level and take that final step.
But how difficult is it to collect the origins of the three thousand great ways
Of the 720 original Dao fruits in Ling Xiao's body, only a few were condensed through his own comprehension. Most of the others were obtained from some trial-takers and powerful prehistoric beasts.
Moreover, the more powerful the origin of the Tao, the more difficult it is to comprehend.
If Ling Xiao were left to comprehend on his own, even if he were given an epoch of time, he would probably not be able to gather the origins of the three thousand great ways.
It has to be said that the benefits of being the Lord of the Imperial City that Zhao Ritian mentioned did make him excited.
“Moreover, I heard that once you become the Lord of the Imperial City, when the Realm of Nothingness opens, you will be able to reach the end of the world more easily than others and embark on the road to the top! Ling Xiao, you must seize this opportunity!”
Ye Liangchen said as if he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.
"Since that Juewu God King is a Three Absolute King, he must be very powerful, right? Do you really believe that Ling Xiao can defeat him?"
Kunpeng asked with some curiosity.
"How do we know if we don't try? Besides, we are indeed full of confidence in Ling Xiao! Moreover, the God King Juewu is very hostile to the human race. It is said that his hands are stained with the blood of many powerful human race members. He has some friendship with Dao Mo. Even if we don't go looking for him, I'm afraid he will come looking for us!"
Ye Liangchen said slowly.
"That's right, you really have to fight for the position of Lord of Yin Yang Imperial City!"
A cold and indifferent voice sounded, and a young man in black walked in from outside the Juedian Building.
"Demon Lord?"
Ling Xiao's heart moved, but he pretended to be surprised on the surface.
The young man in black was none other than Dark Lingxiao.
"It's me! Brother Ling Xiao, long time no see!"
Dark Lingxiao also said lightly.
"You two really know each other!"
Zhao Ritian looked as if he had seen through you a long time ago.
“Brother Demon Lord, you’ve finally come out! If it weren’t for Ling Xiao, Zhao Ritian and I would have been in real trouble this time! That Sword Demon is no good, but fortunately he is no match for Ling Xiao!”
Ye Liangchen also said with great excitement.
Dark Lingxiao motioned for everyone to sit down, and also sat opposite Lingxiao. His eyes were full of cruelty and coldness, and his whole body was filled with murderous aura and bone-chilling coldness.
His cultivation is actually higher than Ling Xiao's, having reached the eighth level of the Emperor Realm!
"I made some progress in my cultivation this time, so I was delayed! But don't worry, the life of that sword demon belongs to me!"
Dark Lingxiao sneered.
"Brother Demon Lord just told me to compete for the position of Lord of the Imperial City?"
Ling Xiao looked at the darkness Ling Xiao and said.
This was the first time in hundreds of years that he had met Dark Lingxiao after he had separated out his dark clone. Although he knew that the clone in front of him was also himself, Lingxiao still had a strange feeling in his heart.
Although Dark Lingxiao and Lingxiao are of the same clan and their souls are half of Lingxiao's souls, it seems that Dark Lingxiao now has a little more independent consciousness.
Just like there are some secrets about Dark Lingxiao that even Lingxiao himself is not very clear about.
He didn't know whether this change was good or bad, but for now, it seemed that everything was under control.
"That's right! You killed the guardians of the four imperial cities before, so the Heavenly Dao Pearl should have condensed in your soul, right? Now it's not an exaggeration to call you the Son of Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao Pearl is an unbearable temptation for the God King Juewu. Even if you don't go to him, he will come to you for the Heavenly Dao Pearl!"
Dark Lingxiao nodded.
Of course, the communication between him and Ling Xiao had already been conducted in the depths of their souls. Dark Ling Xiao said this only for Zhao Ritian and the others to hear.
"Brother Demon Lord is right! Ling Xiao, the Heavenly Dao Pearl has fallen into the hands of the Divine King Jue Wu. It will allow him to comprehend the origin of the Heavenly Dao more quickly, accumulate more foundation, and become even stronger!"
Zhao Ritian also nodded and said.
"It seems that there will be a battle between me and the Absolute God King?"
Ling Xiao smiled calmly, with a gleam of brilliant brilliance in his eyes.
…
Just as Ling Xiao, Zhao Ritian and others were talking in the Juedian Building, the Sword Demon came to the depths of the Yin Yang Imperial City.
There is a huge mansion here, known as the Palace of the God King. It is as magnificent as an imperial palace, ancient and majestic. It is the lord of the Yin-Yang Imperial City and is definitely not the residence of the God King.
In the very center of the Divine King's Palace, there is a tower that reaches from heaven to earth, like a sharp sword piercing the sky, and it is tens of thousands of feet high.
This is the Tower of Babel. There must be no God King practicing in the Tower of Babel.
The top of the Tower of Babel is like a chaotic sea of clouds, with auspicious mist rising, thousands of auspicious colors, and interweaving chains of order. It seems that a mysterious ocean is emerging in the distance.
A middle-aged man in a purple dragon robe sat cross-legged in the chaotic sea of clouds. His face was extremely indifferent, and his whole body exuded an aura of extinction and nothingness.
A brilliant light bloomed from his brows, chaos was breathing out of his mouth, and chains of divine order connected his sea of consciousness between his brows, as if conveying some mystery of the universe and the truth.
The Sword Demon came directly to the top of the Tower of Babel and saw the back of the middle-aged man in purple robe in the chaotic sea of clouds. His eyes were filled with envy.
This is the fortune of the Lord of the Imperial City!
The middle-aged man in purple robe in front of him was naturally the God King Jue Wu.
"Sword Demon, you are here!"
A faint and ethereal voice echoed in the chaotic sea of clouds.
"God King, you should know why I'm here!"
The Sword Demon spoke slowly, his voice a little hoarse.
"Your Dao Heart has cracks. Huh? Is Ling Xiao so strong?"
The God King Juewu let out a light exclamation and slowly turned around with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
As the lord of Yin Yang Imperial City, naturally someone would report to him what happened in Zikulin.
"He has the Avici Hell Burial Blade, the most mysterious and powerful of the four forbidden blades!"
The Sword Demon looked at the God King Juewu and said.
"No wonder it's like that. The sword that cuts the heart is indeed unstoppable! But Ling Xiao must be extremely powerful. As long as he doesn't provoke me, I won't bother him! You came to see me, but I'm afraid you found the wrong person, right?"
The God King Juewu said calmly.
"Really? Could it be that the Divine King is not interested in the Heavenly Dao Pearl?"
The Sword Demon said with a smile.
"Heavenly Path Pearl? That requires a lot of Heavenly Path luck. Although Ling Xiao killed the four imperial city garrisons, he may not have the Heavenly Path Pearl in his body, right?"
The God King Juewu was silent for a moment.
"God King, you are deceiving yourself! You know better than me how much Heavenly Dao luck the Imperial City Guardian has in his body! He must have a Heavenly Dao Pearl in his body, and there is another reason why you have to kill him!"
The Sword Demon sneered.
"What's the reason?"
"There are at least more than three hundred original Dao fruits in his body, and they are all of perfect quality! Otherwise, he would never be able to block my Avici Hell Burial God Sword intact!"
"What?!"
The God King Juewu suddenly stood up.
"Is he also a robber?"
As if he had noticed the problem in his words, the God King Jue Wu said calmly: "He can't be a robber! But why does he have so many perfect quality original fruits in his body?"
"You're right! He's definitely not a robber. His aura is different from yours, otherwise I would be able to sense it!"
The Sword Demon glanced at the Divine King Juewu with a half-smile, then changed the subject: "There are only two possibilities for the reason why he has so many perfect quality Origin Dao Fruits in his body! One is that he has the Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Jade Disc of Creation, and the other is that he has taken that path!"
"Which way?"
A sharp light flashed in the eyes of the God King Jue Wu. He nodded and shook his head and said, "It's unlikely. That road has long been proven to be a dead end. Many people have failed! But if he has the Jade Disc of Fortune in his body, it's not impossible!"
"No matter which possibility it is, there are always a lot of perfect quality original Dao fruits in his body. There is no way around it! Is the God King really not tempted?"
The Sword Demon smiled calmly.
"Okay! Ling Xiao's life is mine! Dao Mo, what do you want?"
The God King Juewu said without the slightest hesitation, with a domineering and sharp look in his eyes.
"Of course I want the forbidden sword in his body! Divine King, Ling Xiao's strength cannot be underestimated. In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, it is better for us to work together. When the time comes, I only want the forbidden sword, and the rest will be yours!"
The Sword Demon looked deeply at the God King Juewu and said.
"Okay! There is another reason why you asked me to come here, right? If you want your Dao Heart to recover quickly, you can only rely on the power of Heavenly Dao!"
The God King Juewu glanced at Dao Mo and said.
"The God King has a keen eye!"
The Sword Demon smiled calmly, not hiding his purpose at all.
"Well! I'll help you. I hope that Ling Xiao won't let me down!"
The God King Juewu nodded.
He himself understood that Ling Xiao's strength was indeed unparalleled, as he was able to cut the Dao Heart of the Sword Demon with one sword, and it was not safe for him to rely on himself.
With the Sword Demon here, if the two of them attack at the same time, they will definitely be able to kill Ling Xiao!
On top of the Tower of Babel, the God King Juewu began to help the Sword Demon heal his wounds.
In the Palace of the God King, powerful figures flew out and pounced towards the location where Ling Xiao, Zhao Ritian and others were.
Their purpose is certainly not to deal with Ling Xiao, but to monitor Ling Xiao's every move.
…
In Yin Yang Imperial City, Ling Xiao was walking on the street. The many trial participants around him looked at him with awe in their eyes.
The news of the battle in Zikulin spread to Yin Yang Imperial City, making everyone deeply aware of Ling Xiao's strength, so no one dared to underestimate him anymore.
At the same time, Ling Xiao could vaguely sense that there were figures around him spying on him. Although the aura was very subtle, he still noticed it.
"Is it from the Sword Demon, or... from the God King Juewu?"
Ling Xiao's heart moved.
But he did not show any expression on the surface. Those people were just monitoring him. Since he knew that there would be a battle between him and the Sword Demon and the God King Juewu in the end, Ling Xiao did not care much about this kind of tracking.
Tiandao Pavilion!
This is the most prosperous commercial building in Yin Yang Imperial City. It was opened by a powerful indigenous creature. The strength of that indigenous creature is unfathomable and is said to be no weaker than the strong ones on the Proof of Dao List.
Therefore, many trial participants are willing to come here to buy some rare treasures.
The reason why it is called Tiandao Pavilion is because of the indigenous creatures behind it, who are said to be related to the garrison commander of the Imperial City.
The reason why Ling Xiao came to Tiandao Pavilion was naturally to buy some Origin Dao Fruits.
As more and more perfect quality original fruits appeared in his body, it became increasingly difficult for him to obtain some rare original fruits.
Ling Xiao just wanted to try his luck.
In order to avoid trouble, Ling Xiao even concealed his aura and covered some of his facial features before entering the Tiandao Pavilion, making it impossible for people to tell his true identity.
After all, he is now very famous in the Yin-Yang Imperial City, and his reputation is so high that it is comparable to that of the God King Juewu.
"My dear guest, what would you like to buy?"
An old man with white hair and beard, with a gleam in his eyes, came straight towards Ling Xiao after seeing him.
"Old man, I want to buy some perfect quality Origin Dao Fruits. Do you have any?"
Ling Xiao bowed to the old man and smiled.
"A perfect quality original Dao fruit? Yes, I do, but does your honorable guest want to take a second or even a third path after breaking through to the peerless emperor?"
The old man looked at Ling Xiao and asked curiously.
“That’s right!”
Ling Xiao nodded.
"I see! I wonder what kind of origin fruit you need?"
The old man asked.
"I haven't made up my mind yet! How about you take me to have a look, old man? If there is an Origin Dao Fruit that satisfies me, I will buy it!"
Ling Xiao had already thought of what to say and said with a slight smile.
"Dear guest, please follow me!"
The old man's status in the Tiandao Pavilion was obviously not low. He took Ling Xiao directly to a room on the second floor, then signaled a few beautiful maids to come in carrying a dozen white jade treasure boxes.
"Here are eighty-six perfect quality Origin Dao Fruits. Please take a look. Is there anything you like?"
The old man waved his hand, and immediately the dozen or so white jade treasure boxes were opened.
Each of the original Dao fruits emitted a brilliant and mysterious light, with a hint of Dao rhyme spreading throughout the room, filling the entire room with precious light, which was quite extraordinary.
Ling Xiao was also somewhat expectant. This Tiandao Pavilion was indeed extraordinary. It actually took out eighty-six original Dao fruits of perfect quality at once.
However, after Ling Xiao carefully examined them, he discovered that most of these eighty-six original Dao fruits were of the five elements attribute, which was the most common, and the rest were the same as the original Dao fruits in Ling Xiao's body.
It did not give him the original fruit of Tao that he needed.
"Old man, is this all you have? Although these Origin Dao Fruits are of perfect quality, they are too ordinary!"
Ling Xiao sighed softly.
As if seeing the disappointment in Ling Xiao's eyes, the old man's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he suddenly smiled and said: "Dear guest, I do have some perfect quality original Dao fruits here, but they were all found in the ruins several epochs ago, and most of them have been damaged. Do you want to see them?"
"Found it in a ruin from several epochs ago? I'd really like to open my eyes!"
Ling Xiao suddenly had an idea and smiled slightly.
