MTLNOVEL Chapter 6: The Celestial Being Is a Human Immortal!
Boom.
Rumble.
Sudden dark clouds enveloped the sky above White Emperor City, with silver serpents flickering within the thick cumulus clouds, thunder roaring.
In an instant.
Torrential rain poured down, striking the city walls built with huge stones with crackling sounds.
The buildings within the city echoed with the sound of raindrops, but they were much clearer.
Chen Yi stood in his temporary residence, gazing out the window at the scenery, his heart god perception enveloping the entire White Emperor City, a faint smile appearing on his face.
Unlike the various prefectures within the Wei Dynasty, White Emperor City, or all stronghold cities and garrison cities of the Human Race, were the same—built like fortresses specifically for war, whether it was the city walls or the interior residences and shops for rest.
The smooth roads built with the same stone material as the city walls, apart from the tracks left by carriages and horses over the years, were mostly littered with remnants left behind by various demons.
It was evident that this White Emperor City had been previously attacked by demons, even breached by those Great Demons into the city, hence the pits and holes on the walls and stone roads.
Aside from the buildings that differ from Tianyuan Continent, the people living in White Emperor City also show a clear distinction, mainly in their attire.
The people living in the Wei Dynasty mostly wore light robes, linen garments, or like those from aristocratic families and Holy Land sects, they wore fine clothes.
The wealthy were glamorous, the impoverished barely clad.
But in White Emperor City, it was different; here, regardless of gender or age, most people wore armor with a certain degree of defense.
Soldiers wore dark blue armor, both defensive and convenient, with a glossy texture, clearly forged from iron, copper, or other metals, only connected by soft armor at the joints.
Common citizens used demon scales or hard skin patched over crucial parts, while still wearing woven materials like linen and silk, termed as armor here.
Even Lou Yuchun, who had previously gone out to meet him, was no exception, wearing scale armor, unlike his Daoist robe attire on Tianyuan Continent.
It was truly a city where everyone was on guard, always ready to repel demon attacks.
Meanwhile, Chen Yi noticed another point—most people in White Emperor City were cultivators, with a ratio far exceeding that of the Kyoto Prefecture of the Wei Dynasty, at least over eighty percent.
The remaining twenty percent consisted of ten percent children who had not yet achieved Foundation Establishment, and another ten percent adults naturally unable to cultivate.
However, even if they couldn't cultivate, their physical strength far surpassed that of ordinary Wei Dynasty people, each seemingly having taken elixirs for bodily enhancement, carrying hundreds of kilos of water and oil barrels with ease.
"Everyone is a soldier."
Chen Yi withdrew his gaze in slight reflection, gently closing the window.
Aside from the situation previously mentioned by the tiger demon and Lou Yuchun, everything he saw, heard, and perceived indicated that the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield's situation was far worse than he had imagined.
Thus, he firmly maintained his previous decision—to wait until he reunited with Senior Sister Ning Xue and others before acting.
However, before that, he should make some preparations!
Subsequently, Chen Yi's heart god perception surrounded the General Mansion of White Emperor City, and after sensing for a moment without detecting any soldiers coming, he gently closed the window and enveloped the stone-built chamber with Slaughter Sword Intent, sitting cross-legged at the table.
Then, with a thought, he activated the panel, and a light screen opened—
[Name: Chen Yi]
[Age: 46]
[Cultivation: First-grade Void Extreme Realm (Upper Rank)]
[Talent: Late Bloomer—increases cultivation speed with age.]
[Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique: Grandmaster—using Sword Intent as the foundation, blessed by Azure Dragon and White Tiger Divine Intent, perfecting the Master's Technique with the Four Symbols' Intent.]

[Inch and Mile: Divine Skills—White Tiger Claw! True Monarch's Feet! One thought to evade divine skills, traverse mountains and rivers, break barriers!]
[Reversal Points: 0/100]
[Reversal Task: Ancient Legacy!
Please go to Taizhou Mountain to seek the Secret Realm of the Ancient Daoist Court and announce the return of the "White Tiger True Monarch"! Then, you will qualify to truly participate in the ancient Daoist legacy contest!

[Your cultivation can be elevated to the Lower Stage of Heavenly Human Realm. (Pending receipt)]
[Your cultivation can be elevated to the Middle Stage of Heavenly Human Realm. (Pending receipt)]
[Your cultivation can be elevated to the Upper Stage of Heavenly Human Realm. (Pending receipt)]
Chen Yi carefully reviewed the requirements of the sixth reversal task, silently thinking:
"Now that I'm at the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield, I should prioritize this task, though the secret realm of the Ancient Daoist Court is likely deeply hidden."
"I wonder if Daoist Zhao Muzi and others are aware… perhaps not, or else given the current situation of 'Purest Heaven' and 'Demon Court', 'Xunwang Heaven' wouldn't be so untroubled."
"Or maybe the secret realm that Daoist Zhao Muzi mentioned last time is related to the Ancient Daoist Court?"
Chen Yi pondered for a moment, keeping the matter in mind, along with another—regarding the two Demon Emperors in Taizhou Mountain and Tianyuan Continent, to inquire using 'Xunwang Order' for results.
However, compared to that, the affair related to the ancient Daoist court involved the contest for ancient Daoist legacy, requiring a certain degree of secrecy, and it should be handled carefully.
"That seems right… I will ask about it after the cultivation break into the Heavenly Human Realm."
With this thought.
Chen Yi opted to claim his cultivation, slowly closing his eyes, his heart god appearing within his mind's palace halls, seated on the throne encircled by four golden pillars carved with divine beasts.
In the next moment,
Vast golden mist emerged like clouds from this illusory world, reaching the heights of the palace halls shrouded in brilliant light, dazzling beautifully.
