Dim! Twisted! Tugging!

As Ye Chen disappeared from the Ancient Teleportation Formation at the Heavenly Sacred Palace, he felt himself trapped in a murky and peculiar space.

The entire space was constantly distorting and pulling, generating a tremendous force that made Ye Chen feel, for a moment, as if he could be torn apart.

Fortunately, at that moment, the Teleportation Token in his hand emitted a faint green light, enveloping him completely and causing that tugging force to vanish.

Then, Ye Chen found himself entirely submerged in a silent and pitch-black void.

Thankfully, this state did not last long. When a surge of Five-colored Spiritual Light appeared before him, Ye Chen felt himself rushing towards the source of that light at high speed.

When he finally entered that expanse of Five-colored Spiritual Light, Ye Chen's mind suddenly cleared, and he realized he was standing on an Ancient Teleportation Formation.

This Ancient Teleportation Formation was exactly the same as the one he had entered at the Heavenly Sacred Palace.

"Has the teleportation ended?!"

Ye Chen felt that he hadn't been in transit for long when he left behind that peculiar teleportation state, and as he was examining the Ancient Teleportation Formation beneath his feet, voices from outside the formation caught his attention: "Another martial artist from the Barbaric Wilderness Continent? Come down, your teleportation has ended, welcome to the Heavenly Evolution Continent."

"Heavenly Evolution Continent!"

"So I've really made it to the Heavenly Evolution Continent!"

"I hadn't expected the Ancient Teleportation Formation to be so fast, capable of bridging the vast distance between two continents."

While feeling a sense of wonder, Ye Chen leaped down from the Ancient Teleportation Formation.

As Ye Chen leaped down from the Ancient Teleportation Formation, two martial artists clad in brown robes entered the outer hall of the formation.

Looking towards the two men, Ye Chen noticed that they radiated the aura of the early stages of the Heavenly Saint Realm, and their appearances were somewhat different from the people of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent; they had long pointed ears and their noses and foreheads were much higher, although in other aspects, they did not differ much.

"So this is what the warriors of the Heavenly Evolution Continent look like, such distinctive features!"

Ye Chen had read descriptions in the Heavenly Sacred Palace's archives stating that the inhabitants of the thirty-three continents, being separated from each other and living in different environments, would have some variations in their appearances.

Now that he saw the peculiar look of the people from the Heavenly Evolution Continent with his own eyes, he found it quite novel.

As Ye Chen was observing the two newcomers, the two Heavenly Saints who were tasked with guarding the Ancient Teleportation Formation looked toward Ye Chen with strange expressions.

"A youth at the early stage of the Rotating Pill Realm teleported from the Barbaric Wilderness Continent?"

"Even early-stage Heavenly Saints would feel dizzy and take a while to recover after long-distance teleportation across continents. How come he seems completely unaffected the moment he steps down from the formation?"

These two Heavenly Evolution Continent Heavenly Saints were not surprised by Ye Chen's Barbaric Wilderness Continent appearance, as they were tasked specifically with guarding this formation that connected to the Barbaric Wilderness Continent and had seen many from there.

What they found strange was that Ye Chen, who had jumped down from the Ancient Teleportation Formation, showed no sign of discomfort from just finishing the teleportation.

"Only those who have reached the middle or later phases of the Heavenly Saint Realm could be unaffected by the discomfort of long-distance teleportation."

"Could it be a formidable middle or late-stage Heavenly Saint elder who has suppressed his realm to the early stage of the Rotating Pill Realm?"

"We've never seen this elder before in Heavenly Evolution!"

Considering this possibility, the two Heavenly Saints felt their hearts skip a beat.

There had been an occasion when they encountered a late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouse who had suppressed his realm to the late Spirit Sea Realm to visit the Heavenly Evolution Continent. At the time, the two of them had not been very polite to that powerhouse, and as a result, they had been taught a harsh lesson.

Watching Ye Chen still sizing them up, the two exchanged glances and shivered slightly. One of them respectfully spoke to Ye Chen, "This Dao friend from the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, this is the teleportation site of our Heavenly Evolution Palace. Our Heavenly Evolution Palace controls the Ancient Teleportation Formations of the Heavenly Evolution Continent. After you exit here, someone will guide you out of the Heavenly Evolution Palace and to the outside..."

Before he could finish, the other interrupted, smiling directly at Ye Chen, "No need for others to guide; according to the records, there will be no one else teleporting from the Barbaric Wilderness Continent for a while. Let us lead this Dao friend out."

Their polite, even reverent manner left Ye Chen somewhat puzzled.

"Could it be that the martial artists of the Heavenly Evolution Continent are all so courteous?"

But since it was Ye Chen's first time using the Ancient Teleportation Formation and his first visit to this unfamiliar continent, having someone to guide him was naturally a good thing.

"Then I'll trouble the two Dao friends," Ye Chen said with a smile to the two Heavenly Saints of the Heavenly Evolution Palace.

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all," they said, shaking their heads with a smile before leading the way ahead.

Ye Chen followed behind the two, exiting the teleportation hall.

Once outside, Ye Chen noticed that the teleportation area of the Heavenly Evolution Continent was almost identical to the prohibited area of the teleportation formation on the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, with halls concealing the Ancient Teleportation Formations.

The difference lay in the fact that the halls of the Heavenly Evolution Continent were all constructed amidst glittering golden grains of sand.

Leaving the teleportation area and entering other territories of the Heavenly Evolution Palace, which was a second-class major sect on the Heavenly Evolution Continent that managed the Ancient Teleportation Formation, Ye Chen was astonished to find that its numerous buildings were also erected atop mounds of sand.

There was no soil to be seen on the ground; it was all sand.

It was as if all these structures were built in a vast desert!

As Ye Chen looked around, he followed the two Heavenly Saints flying out of the Heavenly Evolution Palace. When he passed through a special exit passage and arrived outside the Heavenly Evolution Palace, he discovered that he was now in the midst of a vast desert.

"Fellow Daoist, this must be your first visit to Heavenly Evolution Continent."

Seeing Ye Chen's surprised expression, the two Heavenly Saints smiled and said to Ye Chen, "Our Heavenly Evolution Continent, being the closest to the Five Elements Mountain, has had countless rules of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth sucked away by the mountain. As a result, the entire continent has become an expansive Sand Sea."

"All the sects, cities, and villages of Heavenly Evolution Continent are built upon this Sand Sea."

"However, although the Five Elements Mountain has turned Heavenly Evolution Continent into a Sand Sea, it has also bestowed great fortune upon us. Periodically, the Five Elements Rain drifts from the Five Elements Mountain, descending upon the Heavenly Evolution Continent, benefiting all martial artists here. Our Five Apertures Rotating Pill experts are the most numerous among the thirty-three continents!"

Hearing the words of the two Heavenly Saints, Ye Chen nodded.

The mysteries of heaven and earth are profound and infinite.

This is the fortune of the world!

"I didn't expect to witness a landscape so utterly different from the Barbaric Wilderness Continent upon my arrival in Heavenly Evolution Continent," Ye Chen thought to himself with a smile.

He was even more excited for what he would experience in Heavenly Evolution Continent next.

"Fellow Daoist, we're now outside the Heavenly Evolution Palace. If you follow this exit and head north, you'll reach Rift Sky City after three hundred li, the city that's closest to the Heavenly Evolution Palace."

"Since it's your first time on Heavenly Evolution Continent, you might want to visit Rift Sky City, the most lively city on the continent."

The two Heavenly Saints said this to Ye Chen with smiles.

Rift Sky City?

That was the gathering place for the upcoming adventure to the Five Elements Mountain; Ye Chen certainly wanted to take a look.

"Thank you both for showing the way. I'll head over to Rift Sky City now," Ye Chen replied, bowing his fists to the two Heavenly Saints before setting off directly to the north by flight.

Seeing the flying technique and speed at which Ye Chen moved, the two Heavenly Saints felt even more certain of their earlier conjecture.

"Senior."

"Indeed a senior, with such swift movement!"

"Fortunately, we've been courteous to this senior all along, and he's been quite respectful to us in return. Otherwise, we might have been taught another lesson," they expressed with relief.

Letting out a long sigh, the two Heavenly Saints watched as Ye Chen disappeared into the horizon before turning back towards the Heavenly Evolution Palace.

As Ye Chen flew north, he could feel the strong winds above Heavenly Evolution Continent.

In the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, martial artists of the Spirit Sea Realm could fly, but under the strong winds of Heavenly Evolution Continent, those of the Spirit Sea Realm probably wouldn't be able to fly at all and would have to walk on the great desert.

However, these winds posed no threat or hindrance to Ye Chen now; his speed was unaffected as he shot straight towards Rift Sky City.

After only an incense stick's time and a half, Ye Chen had already flown three hundred li and could now see Rift Sky City ahead.

This was a massive city built upon the great desert!

Bathed in the reflection of the golden sand particles, the entire Rift Sky City seemed to be coated in a layer of gold.

The majority of the architecture in Rift Sky City consisted of large domed towers, exuding a unique sense of roughness and grandeur.

Upon arriving outside Rift Sky City, Ye Chen descended to the ground and headed toward the city.

Ye Chen saw that the streets of Rift Sky City were paved with huge brownish-yellow boulders. The streets were wide enough to allow ten people to walk side by side. Towering round stone towers and majestic stone buildings were abundant along both sides of the road.

Ye Chen also noticed that the city was bustling with people, and nearly ninety percent of those walking around were martial artists. Martial artists of the True Qi Realm were rare, whereas those of the Spirit Sea Realm and Rotating Pill Realm were the most common. Occasionally, he could even sense the powerful aura of someone in the Heavenly Saint Realm surging through the city.

Moreover, these martial artists had diverse appearances, some with unique patterns on their foreheads, some with horns on their heads, and even beautiful girls with wings on their backs.

Clearly, many of these martial artists were from other continents and had gathered here in Rift Sky City.

"Rift Sky City is indeed lively!"

"The Palace Master said that as the adventure to the Five Elements Mountain draws near, a large number of adventurers will gather here. The powerful beings traveling in Heavenly Evolution Continent will also converge here. There are probably many in the Heavenly Saint Realm in this city now, and perhaps even late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm experts are present."

Looking at the teeming crowd, Ye Chen thought to himself.

Although Rift Sky City was filled with martial artists, Ye Chen felt more curious than afraid upon arriving in this strange land and city. Even though he appeared to be alone, within the Ice Snow Jade Pendant he wore, there were nine late-stage Heavenly Saints as guards. Moreover, Ye Chen was not a pushover himself; he would not have dared to come if he were afraid of Heavenly Evolution Continent.

"There are still fifteen days until the gathering date. The Adventure Talisman will guide me to the meeting area in Rift Sky City then. For now, I might as well take a walk around the city."

Rift Sky City was vast, and Ye Chen's divine sense, now covering a radius of eighty li, could still not fully encompass the entire city.

Ye Chen felt that Rift Sky City might span over a thousand li in area, truly a colossal city!

In the ten or so days before the adventure, there would be plenty of time for Ye Chen to explore the city thoroughly.

While walking the streets, it wasn't long before Ye Chen heard a noisy commotion ahead of him. Looking forward, he saw countless martial artists formed into a large circle at a corner.

The clamorous noise was emanating from within that circle.

"Hmm, what's happening over there that's causing such a stir?" Ye Chen wondered curiously as he walked towards the crowd of martial artists.
