The city lord and the elders didn't seem to doubt what Xia Yan said. In fact, it wasn't that they believed Xia Yan, but that there was no need to doubt it.
A royal family with golden spiritual power can gain a high status in any city. For a royal family with golden spiritual power, there is absolutely no need to come to this small Silver Snow City, let alone plan anything in Silver Snow City.
Therefore, the city lord and the elders really had no way of doubting Xia Yan's intentions.
"My lord, if this royal Xia Yan can stay in our Yinxue City, it will greatly improve the reputation of our Yinxue City." Cai De secretly said to the City Lord.
In Shenzhou, although there are a lot of royal families with golden spiritual power, there are so many cities, it is impossible for every city to have a royal family with golden spiritual power. You know, there are tens of thousands of large and small cities in the southern region alone. And cities with golden spiritual power royal families tend to increase their prestige greatly. Moreover, there will be more resources obtained from Watch Mountain.
"I understand." The city lord also said via voice transmission, "The Immortal Bridge is less than ten years away. If Xia Yan of the royal family can enter the Immortal Bridge on behalf of our Silver Snow City, it will be of great help to improve the reputation of our Silver Snow City."
"What the Lord City Master said is very true." Cai Delian said excitedly.
"Mr. Xia Yan, since this is the case, why don't you stay in my City Lord's Mansion first?!" City Lord Qin Yu said to Xia Yan with a smile.
"Alright, then thank you, Lord City Master." Xia Yan paused deliberately before thanking him.
"Elder Cai De, please arrange Mr. Xia Yan's residence." Qin Yu said to Elder Cai De again.
"That's easy to talk about. I'll make arrangements now." Cai Delian nodded and looked at Xia Yan with a smile, "Cai Ying, you can accompany Mr. Xia Yan so that Mr. Xia Yan can learn more about our city."
"Yes, father." Cai Ying nodded, blushing slightly in response.
In a spacious courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, under Cai De's arrangement, Xia Yan moved in smoothly. In the entire courtyard, only Xia Yan lives alone, and the environment is elegant.
Cai Ying would occasionally come over to chat with Xia Yan about things in China.
Xia Yan learned more information about China. The core of China is the Mountain of Watchmen. The Mountain of Watchmen was created by Emperor Shangyue. , has been hidden from asking about world affairs.
Among the royal families with golden spiritual power in Shenzhou, the surname of Shang is the most, because the surname of the Lord of Shenzhou is Shang. Of course, after countless years of evolution, there are now more surnames in the royal family, but the Shang surname has the highest status.
Especially the royal families whose descendants can enter Watch Mountain, their status is even more outstanding and incomparable.
The territory of China is very vast, even if it is flying at Xia Yan's speed, it will take several years to fly across the entire mainland of China. And to get to Watch Mountain, if flying, it would take at least a year.
There are many planes of space in China, and there are also humans living in these planes. Some of the human beings living in some planes do not practice cultivation, and some of the human beings living in some planes are not even inferior to some cities in China. There are also some special plane spaces, where there are even only beasts and no humans. These plane spaces are also under the control of Watch Mountain.
When Xia Yan heard Shang's surname, he thought of Senior Shanghe. Senior Shanghe must belong to the royal family with the surname Shang, but he didn't know why he was met by God Lord Gongming when he arrived in the Four Regions. According to Lord Gongming, Shang He was just a baby at that time, apparently brought from China to the Four Regions by other people.
Among them, there must be some unknown things. Later, Shang He stepped into the realm of God Lord but fell, and it may also be related to the royal family of Shenzhou.
On this day, Cai Ying came to Xia Yan again.
"Mr. Xia Yan, I may not be able to come to you for a while." Cai Ying looked at Xia Yan and said.
"Why?!" Xia Yan asked.
"I want to enter the spiritual realm, and strive to step into the realm of creation before the opening of the fairy bridge, because only young practitioners in the realm of creation have the opportunity to enter the fairy bridge." Cai Ying said.
"Xianqiao?!" Xia Yan asked in surprise.
"Yes, Xianqiao is the sacred place of China. Apart from the Watching Mountain, it is Xianqiao." Cai Ying said slowly, "Cultivators under the age of 50,000 years, as long as they have the strength of the realm of creation, they have the opportunity to enter Immortal Bridge. Entering the Immortal Bridge, practitioners can temper their bodies, cleanse their souls, and strengthen their strength."
"Oh? This fairy bridge is so wonderful?!" Xia Yan asked with a flash in his eyes.
"That's right, the Xianqiao was built by Emperor Shangyue. Over the years, the strength of many cultivators has improved by leaps and bounds. I heard that some experts in the realm of god masters can finally break through because of the existence of Xianqiao." Cai Ying looked forward to it. Said slowly.
"What?!"
"A strong man in the realm of God Lord?!"
Xia Yan was surprised, God Lord? Xianqiao
"That's right, my father said that more than 90% of the gods in China have entered the Xianqiao, which is the holy place of our China." Cai Ying showed a pious expression.
"I didn't expect that I heard such news not long after I arrived in Shenzhou. The fairy bridge is so magical. I want to go and see it." Xia Yan sighed slightly, and made a decision in his heart.
"Mr. Xia Yan, there are less than ten years before the fairy bridge will be opened, so during this period of time, I will work hard to step into the realm of creation." Cai Ying turned her beautiful eyes and said seriously.
"Well, you will definitely be able to step into the realm of creation." Xia Yan nodded solemnly.
"There are less than ten years left..."
"In less than ten years, I will continue to practice and improve my strength. The second floor of the Tower of Time is already available. The outside world will spend a year on the second floor of the Tower of Time, that is, a hundred years. Nearly ten years years, that is, I can cultivate for nearly a thousand years." After Cai Ying left, Xia Yan was ready to start retreat.
Whoosh!
With a flash of his figure, Xia Yan entered the second floor of the Tower of Time. The second floor looks the same as the first floor, except that the time flow is ten times different.
With Xia Yan's current state of retreat, if you close your eyes and open them again, it may be decades or hundreds of years. The comprehension of the laws has already reached the Great Perfection, and it will take a very long time to get a little bit of insight. Even if you use various treasures, the effect is not very high.
There are still some dragon soul fruits in Xia Yan's Lingluo ring space, but these dragon soul fruits basically increase Xia Yan's upper limit of spiritual power, and they don't help much in understanding the laws.
When he was in the Western Regions, Xia Yan was invincible under the realm of a god-lord, and even someone as strong as Gong Rushui could no longer compete against Xia Yan. Continuing to increase the upper limit of spiritual power will not achieve fundamental changes, at most there will be some increase in the amount. If the opponent is under the God Lord, Xia Yan can deal with it, but if the opponent is a strong God Lord, then no matter how strong the spiritual power is, it is useless.
…
"My lord, Mr. Xia Yan actually left by himself."
In a room in the City Lord's Mansion, Cai De hurried in from the outside and said anxiously to the City Lord Qin Yu.
"What?!"
"What happened?!" Qin Yu was also surprised and asked in surprise.
Xia Yan left without saying hello to him.
"I don't know. I went to see Xia Yan three months ago, but found that he was not there. I thought he was leaving temporarily, so I didn't care. I went to see him again a month ago, but he was still not there. Today, I went again, but he is still not there. So I think, he probably left the City Lord's Mansion." Cai De shook his head and said.
"Alas..." Qin Yu pondered for a moment, then sighed softly, "Forget it, this is not a forced thing, just pretend that you have never met this royal Xia Yan before."
…
Eight hundred years after the second floor of the Tower of Time, Xia Yan opened his eyes and came out of the Tower of Time. More than eight years have passed for the outside world. More than eight years is actually very short for a cultivator. During the process of cultivation, especially after stepping into the realm of creation, the time it takes to penetrate the law is not in units of years, but in units of ten thousand years.
A freak like Xia Yan is probably unique in China.
Swish!
The space was slightly distorted, and Xia Yan stood in the room.
"Um?!"
"What's going on?!" Xia Yan walked to the door, pulled it lightly, and found that the outside was locked, and he was locked in the room.
"Why is this room locked?!" Xia Yan frowned, "Huh? Could it be because I haven't shown up in the past few years, do they think I have left here?!"
"It's really interesting!" Xia Yan shook his head. Before he retreated, he didn't pay much attention to this matter, so he didn't specifically tell the city lord and others that he wanted to retreat. Therefore, because the city lord and others disappeared, they might think that they left without saying goodbye.
"I can only break open the door. I can't stay in the room forever." Xia Yan thought for a while, and with a thought, a strand of golden spiritual power surged out.
There was a snap.
The chain of the door was shaken by Xia Yan, and with a creak, the door was opened. In the courtyard, some flowers and plants are in full bloom, emitting bursts of fragrance.
"Living in Shenzhou, it's really very leisurely. It's much less murderous than the Four Regions." Xia Yan thought to himself, and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
"It has been more than eight years now, and there is still more than a year before the opening of the Xianqiao. I am going to meet the city lord and ask about the Xianqiao. As I am, I should be able to enter the Xianqiao. I just don’t know what other conditions there are.” Xia Yan walked out of the courtyard, his thoughts scattered, and the entire City Lord’s Mansion was shrouded in Xia Yan’s thoughts.
In the city lord's mansion, only the city lord is a world lord-level creation realm, so as long as the city lord is in the mansion, it is not difficult for Xia Yan to know the specific location of the city lord. And because Xia Yan's soul is powerful, the city lord would not be able to know Xia Yan's investigation under normal circumstances.
"Well, it's not far away." Xia Yan quickly detected an aura of the world master level creation realm, and with a movement of spiritual power under his feet, his figure flickered, and he quickly approached the other courtyard.
