NOVEL NEXT Chapter 980: 962 Tian Yong City_1
This continent stretched endlessly to the left and right, with no end in sight; upon it, innumerable mountains, rivers, and forests stood tall.
Moreover, the dazzling sunlight shone upon the land, and within the light, one could faintly discern the rainbow-coloured hues of dawn, bringing an immediate sense of exhilaration and tranquility as if all worries had been forgotten!
"Over there, could that be the Central Continent?" Luo Yiyi asked, pointing at the land, brimming with excitement.
"Yes, exactly!" Dongfang Qinxin nodded, "Yi Yi, we are now at the edge of the Central Continent."
"The Central Continent is unimaginably vast, with countless stars hidden above and below it, in the heavens and the earth!" Jiu Yin added. "Wanmo Palace was once located at the very heart of the Central Continent!"
"Jiu Yin, where is the World Tree? The Compass seems to have malfunctioned," Chu Qin asked. He realized upon arriving here that the Compass's indicated location from his memory was blurred; it only showed the Central Continent with no specific details.
"The Central Continent is home to countless powerful beings; not even the strongest Divine Sense can cover the entire territory," Jiu Yin explained. "Moreover, with the collapse of Wanmo Palace, the World Tree has lost its foundation, which might be why the Compass has malfunctioned."
"What should we do then?" inquired Chu Qin.
"Don't worry, Chu Qin, I'm not in a rush!" Jiu Yin said with a smile. "You go ahead with your matters first, and we can look for the World Tree later. If that doesn't work out, we can search for it while you're attending to your business; we might find something that way."
Jiu Yin, who was neither kith nor kin to Chu Qin, sincerely did not want to inconvenience him needlessly.
Furthermore, Jiu Yin's biggest concern was the Outer Heavenly Lord, who was also in the core region of the Central Continent, and she did not wish for Chu Qin to attract this kind of trouble.
"Alright then," Chu Qin nodded, "let's head for the Starry Sky Domain first!"
"Alright!" Jiu Yin nodded. "We came from Xi Yu, so this should be the western side of Central Continent Heaven. The Starry Sky Domain should indeed be to the west. Am I right, Qin Xin?"
"Well, you're correct," replied Dongfang Qinxin. "But the western side of the Central Continent Heaven is also boundless, and I'm not sure if we are in the northwest or southwest at the moment. Maybe we need to ask someone for directions."
"Leave it to me!" Chu Qin nodded and then immediately his Divine Sense expanded in all directions.
Before long, Chu Qin's Divine Sense crossed countless large mountains and, amidst the towering peaks, he discovered a city!
"There's a city. Let's go there," said Chu Qin with a slight smile.
"Yes!" Following that, under the guidance of the Scarlet Dragon Lord and the Azure Qilin Dragon, their warship headed toward the city.
They could see that the mountains of Central Continent Heaven were far from ordinary, with some peaks reaching tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands or millions of meters in height!
Chu Qin and his companions passed through numerous mountain ranges and finally arrived atop a peak, beneath which lay an endless, vast city.
The architecture of the city resembled ancient structures from a previous age, with various palaces that were exceedingly majestic and grand.
What's more, the city was festooned with lights and decorations, seeming to celebrate some happy occasion.
"All this red cloth, it looks like there's some sort of celebration happening in this city, right?" Long Meng said, looking down at the city with joy and excitement.
"Who knows? Meng'er, let's go down and have a look," said Chu Qin with a nonchalant smile.
"Yes!" Long Meng nodded happily.
"No, wait a moment," Dongfang Qinxin said. Then she looked towards the Scarlet Dragon Lord and the Azure Qilin Dragon, "You two can't just walk in so conspicuously. Now, the people in Central Continent Heaven utterly detest the Demon clan and creatures; if you go in like this, you will cause trouble. How about this, conceal your Demonic Path aura, change your size, and we'll take you in."
"Yes!" The Scarlet Dragon Lord and the Azure Qilin Dragon nodded simultaneously. Following that, their bodies shrunk at the same time, turning into adorable chibi versions of a Scarlet Dragon and an Azure Qilin Dragon.
"Huh, who would have thought that these two Demon Emperors, when shrunk down, could actually be so cute?" Lan Lan said delightedly.
"Mm, this way, it's quite nice. Qinxin, you have thought this through," Chu Qin said with a faint smile, signaling for the Scarlet Dragon Lord and the Azure Qilin Dragon to perch on his shoulders. If these two were female, he could have left them to the care of the women, but being male, Chu Qin naturally wouldn't allow them to touch his women.
Following closely, Chu Qin, leading the women, retracted the Warship and smoothly made their way to the city gates.
At that moment, the soldiers at the city gates were all dressed in red armor, and the gates were wide open as if welcoming the guests coming into the city.
"Tian Yong City!" Above the gate, three gilded characters shone brightly.
"Sister Qin Xin, do you know Tian Yong City? Is it in the northwest or southwest of Central Continent Heaven?" Sea Woman asked.
"I don't know," Dongfang Qinxin shook her head. "Central Continent Heaven is boundlessly vast, with countless powers. I really don't know about this Tian Yong City; it must not be any major force."
Dongfang Qinxin's words were quickly overheard by an elder who was in charge of guarding the city gate.
This elder, also dressed in a red robe, had a kindly face and was friendly and approachable.
He sensed the imperceptible divine power fluctuations emanating from Chu Qin, Dongfang Qinxin, Yun Xi, and the others, and was immediately taken aback.
However, the elder quickly regained his composure and walked towards Chu Qin and company with a beaming smile," My respects to you all."
"Hello," Chu Qin said, smiling at the elder. Since the elder was so courteous, Chu Qin naturally responded with equal politeness. Besides, the elder's strength was only at the level of Third Heaven of Divine Venerate, posing no threat to Chu Qin and the others.
"I overheard your conversation just now. It seems you are not from Central Continent Heaven?" the elder said with a smile.
"We come from the Xi Yu," Chu Qin replied.
"I see," the elder nodded.
"Hey, old sir, are we in the northwest or the southwest of Central Continent Heaven here?" Dongfang Qinxin asked.
"Northwest," replied the elder. "Looking North Mountain is located a million li ahead from Central Continent Heaven."
"So it's Looking North Mountain," Dongfang Qinxin said in realization, "Then the Starry Sky Domain should be nearby, right?"
"Yes, approximately seven million li past Looking North Mountain, you can reach the territory of the Starry Sky Domain," the elder continued, his expression changing slightly as he spoke, "But well..."
"But what?" Chu Qin asked, with a slight frown.
"But, ten thousand years ago, the Starry Sky Domain offended a major superpower in the Central Regions, and now the Starry Sky Domain has relocated..." the elder continued.
"Relocated?" Chu Qin and the others all exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, this is a well-known fact far and wide. However, given that you have come from Xi Yu, it's understandable that you don't know," the elder said, nodding gently.
