I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

In Zhang Menglong's world, ordinary Level Seven or Eight Life Forms already possess the instant teleportation ability to tear through space, easily shuttling back and forth between neighboring civilizations.

However, on the Haotian Continent, the spatial density increases by over a hundredfold, probably only martial artists above the Heaven-breaking Realm can achieve such a feat. Plus, without any transportation tools, their speed is much slower, taking several hundred days to travel from this desert to the Imperial City.

But for a spaceship, such a distance is not so long. Although more energy is required to start the warp engine, the principle is the same, just a matter of consuming a bit more energy.

The entire Haotian Continent is vast and sparsely populated, with almost all cities clustered together. If one were to stroll across the continent, it might be impossible to walk from one city to another neighboring city, just relying on legs.

After a few hours of flight, a majestic and grand city appeared before Zhang Menglong, filled with the beauty of Huaxia's classical architecture, as if truly visiting an ancient era's imperial palace.

"Just a few hours?" Qi Xiu was astounded by the wonders of the spaceship. A journey of over 300 days was completed in less than three hours; it was simply unbelievable.

Although there are faster teleportation arrays on the continent, building one is very costly, and maintaining it requires at least three experts above the Heaven-breaking Realm, so not every city can afford a teleportation array.

If this thing called a spaceship could be popularized, it would definitely have a profound impact on the entire dynasty, even the entire continent.

"It's nothing, next time I'll get you a motorcycle for fun, now that would be cool!"

Zhang Menglong found a more secluded place to park the spaceship and activated the optical camouflage without attracting anyone's attention.

Due to rampant demon beasts in the wild, all cities had to shut their gates at night, and it was already time for the gates to be closed now.

"Who goes there!" the guards on the city wall immediately cast vigilant eyes upon spotting Zhang Menglong and Qi Xiu.

Zhang Menglong glanced at them, these guards were roughly at the level of True Martial Level Three; in Zhang Menglong's universe, they could already be considered the rulers of a Level One or even Level Two civilization, yet in this world, they were barely above the lowest level.

This shows that the mid-tier world is indeed a notch or two more noble than theirs.

"We want to enter the city, please open the gate," Qi Xiu said.

"The gates are already closed, come back tomorrow if you want to enter," the guards refused unceremoniously.

"Take a good look at who I am? I'm Prince Qi Xiu!"

"Nonsense, how could the noble Seventh Prince be someone like you?"

Indeed, Qi Xiu now looked disheveled in ragged clothes with messy hair, carrying dried bloodstains; he appeared entirely like a beggar, quite out of place with the image of a royal prince.

Qi Xiu glanced at Zhang Menglong, his expression somewhat embarrassed. He, a dignified prince, was actually despised by a mere gate guard? Zhang Menglong had witnessed his darkest moment.

"Don't look at me like that, you'll make me think you're plotting murder to silence me," Zhang Menglong joked, "Seriously though, don't you have some token or something on you? Like a token or a jade pendant."

"I had one," Qi Xiu sighed, "but I lost it while being chased by my elder brother's men. It was already lucky enough to keep my life, who had the mind to care for those earthly possessions?"

"Makes sense," Zhang Menglong nodded, "So what now? Blast our way in?"

Zhang Menglong looked at the city wall, though it was just ordinary stone, its strength certainly surpassed the toughest metals in their world. The common weapons he carried probably couldn't blast through it, and there wasn't time or materials to make modifications.

"Just say the word, I'll take down this wall for you," Zhang Menglong laughed, anyway using a Level Two or Three medium life form's power wasn't costly; out in the desert, he had already earned hundreds of thousands of cred points.

"No need," Qi Xiu whistled towards the city; the whistle, carrying strong mystic qi, spread like a divine wave.

Moments later, following a crisp chirping sound, a bird with purple feathers flew out from the Imperial City.

It was a bird the size of a macaw, very beautiful and seemed very close to Qi Xiu, directly perching on his shoulder and affectionately rubbing its head against his face.

"This is a young Purple Cloud Sparrow," Qi Xiu said, "a middle-tier bloodline demon beast that can reach Heaven-breaking Level Three once mature. It was entrusted to us by an adult Purple Cloud Sparrow while my sister and I were playing outside; we've watched it grow up."

"Dudu, go find my sister for me."

The young Purple Cloud Sparrow chirped again and immediately flew into the Imperial City.

"Here she comes!" A few minutes later, Qi Xiu looked towards the Imperial City's direction, a smile appearing on his face.

With a surge of mystic qi, a figure gracefully landed on the city wall.

It was a girl in a pink-purple dress, looking about sixteen or seventeen years old, standing about a head shorter than Zhang Menglong, with extremely fair skin and long black hair cascading down her back.

Her features were as exquisite as an elf's; even Zhang Menglong found himself momentarily lost in her beauty at first glance.

Moreover, the aura she exuded was at the True Martial Level Six standard!

"Seventh Brother!" As soon as the girl saw Qi Xiu, she beamed with joy, "Elder Brother, why didn't you inform me in advance when coming to the Imperial City? Are you looking to get beaten up again?"

The girl suddenly noticed that Qi Xiu looked like a complete refugee, and her expression quickly turned grave.

"Princess You Ruo... this... is this really the Seventh Prince?" the guard stammered with trembling voice.

Princess You Ruo was the Emperor's most beloved daughter, known for her pampered and capricious nature, offending her had no good outcome.

"Now that you know, aren't you quickly opening the gates?"

"Yes, I'll open them at once."

"Brother Zhang, let's go in," Qi Xiu said.

"Alright."

"Seventh Brother!" The girl launched herself into Qi Xiu's arms without any regard for his unkempt appearance.

"Brother Zhang, let me introduce you: this is You Ruo, my half-sister, the ninth in the family."

"Ruoruo, this is my newly acquainted friend, Zhang Menglong. If it weren't for him, I might not have seen you today."

"Not seen me? Seventh Brother, what exactly happened? Why do you look so wretched? What about your men?"

"All dead," Qi Xiu sighed, "it was my elder brother's doing."

"He's gone too far!" You Ruo and Qi Xiu shared a close bond; while many distanced themselves after Qi Xiu's spirit root was damaged, she had always accepted him.

"Brother Zhang, thank you for saving my seventh brother. From today on, in this Imperial City, no matter what happens, just mention my name!" You Ruo patted her flat chest.

"Hahaha, thank you," Zhang Menglong laughed, unable to hold back.

"Brother Zhang, since you're my brother's friend, I'm his most beloved sister, so in other words, I'm your sister too. We're meeting for the first time, surely you didn't come empty-handed?" You Ruo cheekily asked.

"Ruoruo!" Qi Xiu quickly gave her a glare.

"Brother Zhang, don't mind You Ruo; she's spoiled from a young age," Qi Xiu said.

"She's quite adorable," Zhang Menglong smiled, "you're not wrong either, though I didn't prepare anything special this time. I'll give you a set of Mystery of the Sea Blue and a cultivation technique."
