"Twenty domains? Which domains are stronger?" Wu Chen asked again.
The fifth prince said, "There are three strong domains, namely Yuelan Domain, Xinghai Domain and Liuran Domain. These three domains are guarded by masters of the third level of the True Martial Realm. In other domains, there are also some who have not reached the third level of the True Martial Realm, but are stronger than the average masters of the second level of the True Martial Realm. Let's call them masters of the peak of the second level of the True Martial Realm. There are relatively more of these domains. For example, in the Tiefeng Domain that just competed with us for territory, there is a master who has reached the peak of the second level of the True Martial Realm."
The three most powerful domains
With Wu Chen's current strength, it would not be a big problem for him to sweep through the first and second levels of the Zhenwu Realm. However, it would be a bit troublesome to deal with the strong men in the third level of the Zhenwu Realm. Strong men of this level are still quite difficult for him now. However, if the other party wants to bully him, he will also let them see his means as the Supreme Alchemy God.
"So, what actions have other regions taken?"
"Action? What do you mean?" The Fifth Prince was a little confused.
Wu Chen glanced at him and said, "We can't just stay here forever. We have to go out and look for opportunities to improve our cultivation and strength."
The Fifth Prince understood that their original intention of entering the Xuan Yue Secret Realm was to look for treasures and enhance their cultivation and strength, so that they could stand out in the election of all nations and achieve excellent results. Naturally, it was impossible for them to stay in this place. If they did that, they would not be able to improve their cultivation and strength.
"According to the records of our ancestors, there is an ancient temple about two thousand miles away from here, which opens every once in a while."
"Ancient Temple, what ancient temple?"
Wu Chen knew very little about the Xuan Yue Secret Realm, and the information he obtained was basically provided by other people.
The fifth prince did not think much about it and said directly: "This ancient palace is said to be the site of the ruins of a super sect from ancient times. However, for some unknown reason, the ancient super sect was destroyed and their sect gradually fell into disrepair. Only the ancient palace has been preserved until now."
"Since it has been opened so many times, could there still be treasures inside?"
The fifth prince said, "Yes, every time after the election of all nations, those super sects will inject some new treasures into those places, waiting for the next opening, so that those who are destined can go in to explore and search for treasures."
"So that's how it is."
Wu Chen understood that places like the ancient ruins had basically been explored by those super sects in advance, and all the precious treasures inside had been taken away. They would never be left to ordinary people like them. Once the Ten Thousand Nations Election came and the Xuan Yue Secret Realm was opened, some new treasures would be injected again. Of course, these treasures were definitely not the extremely valuable treasures before, but rather second-tier treasures.
"When exactly will the ancient temple open?"
Although it is a second-level treasure, it is enough for him now. As long as he can break through the Zhenwu Realm, then when he encounters a Zhenwu Realm third-level strong man, he will not be afraid at all and can sweep him away directly.
“This is still unknown.”
Wu Chen frowned and said, "Let's ask more people to find out more information. We can't miss the opening of the ancient palace this time."
"Okay, no problem."
According to the distribution of forces in the surrounding area, the Fifth Prince had a map made, and dozens of copies were made, which were then distributed to those who were relatively strong and prestigious. Wu Chen also got a copy.
After dealing with the matters of those people in Hengling Territory, Wu Chen quickly bid farewell to the Fifth Prince, Mu Youxue and others and went to another city, Shiji City.
Shiji City is a very large city occupied by three powerful domains. It is the center of many settlements in this area. There are some markets here where people can buy and sell things.
Of course, most of these things are brought in from outside. People from different places bring very different things, which need to be exchanged and complemented with each other. This is the meaning of the existence of the market.
"This should be the Stone Base City."
Arriving outside the Stone City, Wu Chen looked up and saw that this Stone City was obviously much larger than the stone cities they had lived in before. Moreover, the city was basically intact and had not been greatly eroded. There were still people guarding the city gate, and many people were coming in and out, making it quite lively.
After looking for a while, Wu Chen walked towards the city gate and was about to go in when suddenly someone stopped him.
"Where's your badge?"
Wu Chen stopped and asked curiously, "What badge?"
The guard looked Wu Chen up and down and asked, "Are you new here?"
"New here, what's wrong?"
The guard said, "It's nothing. It's just the rule of our Shiji City. Everyone who enters and leaves needs to wear a waist badge. If you don't wear a waist badge, you will be prohibited from entering."
What kind of broken rule is this? Wu Chen frowned.
"Since you are new here, then I will give you a waist badge, one thousand taels of silver each, do you want it?"
The guard took out a badge from his storage ring and weighed it in his hand.
"One thousand taels a piece, are you robbing money?"
Wu Chen took a look at the waist badge. It was just a random badge, a very ordinary one, but it was priced at one thousand taels. This was too much.
The guard said, "One thousand taels of silver is very cheap. For a warrior, going out hunting casually can earn more than one thousand taels of silver. Do you want it or not? If not, get out of here immediately."
Seeing how confident this guard was, Wu Chen knew that there must be someone backing him up, perhaps the three powerful domains were behind it.
He was too lazy to talk to this little guard, so he just took out a silver note worth one thousand taels and handed it over.
Seeing the banknote, the guard immediately smiled, took the banknote, and then handed a badge to Wu Chen with a smile.
Wu Chen grabbed the badge and walked straight into the city without saying anything. He didn't bother to talk to a mere guard.
After entering the city, Wu Chen saw quite a few stalls. It seemed that there were really people selling things here. He went up to take a look. The things being sold were relatively simple. Most of them were materials for monsters, and some medicinal herbs. As far as he knew, these monster materials and medicinal herbs were basically obtained by these warriors when hunting outside the city.
This is the Xuan Yue Secret Realm. There may not be many other things here, but there are a lot of monsters. Monsters of all kinds gather here, ready to attack cities and other settlements at any time.
