Urban God-level Youth

Under the guidance of the attendant, Qin Hao and the others arrived at the ninth floor, the highest level of the restaurant.

This ninth floor housed the best rooms, decorated luxuriously, comparable to those in some major family homes.

"Young master, young lady, do you have any other requests?" The attendant smiled and asked them.

Qin Hao: "Bring up all your signature dishes."

Attendant: "Certainly, sir. Please wait a moment."

After the attendant left, Qin Hao glanced at the furnishings and layout of the room, nodding slightly as a sign of approval.

The inns and taverns were primarily for temporary stays; people who came here definitely weren't here for cultivation, so the amount of Spiritual Energy was adequate; the key was the interior decor and layout which would attract guests.

Wei Xianyun also nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction with the room's setup.

She stepped onto the balcony; being on the ninth floor, it was very high, offering a bird's eye view of all Xingyue City.

Qin Hao and Wei Hanxian also stepped onto the balcony, gazing at the opposite mountain range shrouded in Spiritual Energy, which was where the Xingyue Palace laid within the Xingyue Mountain Range.

The entire Xingyue Mountain Range was enveloped by dense Spiritual Energy, appearing like mystical fog, immensely sacred.

Qin Hao could vaguely see those mountain peaks with cloud-covered pavilions, half concealed by clouds, half exposed, intermittently visible.

"Is this the Xingyue Palace? Truly grand and magnificent." Qin Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, glittering with awe.

Wei Hanxian also gazed at the Xingyue Palace, her expression calm. While the grandeur and majesty of the Xingyue Palace was evident, she had encountered even more magnificent palace complexes before, making it seem less impressive.

Could Xiaofeng be here? Qin Hao pondered, a contemplative look in his eyes.

However, he didn't hold much hope because with his level of power, he could roughly speculate the strength of the masters at Xingyue Palace. The chance that they had the ability to traverse dimension spaces to kidnap people seemed unlikely.

No matter what, he had to see the Xingyue Palace for himself.

Standing next to Qin Hao, Wei Xianyun remarked, "The Xingyue Palace, worthy of being a top-tier power from Ancient Times, with its unending palace series and majestic grandeur, two ordinary top-tier powers are probably no match for it."

Wei Hanxian replied, "The foundation of Xingyue Palace is beyond your imagination; there probably isn't a single force on this continent that dares to challenge them."

Curious, Wei Xianyun asked, "Why is that? Is Xingyue Palace really that terrifying?"

Their conversation was interrupted by a knock at the door, followed by the arrival of the attendant, accompanied by several others carrying an array of signature dishes.

After the meals were set down, Qin Hao asked the attendant, "Why are there so many people in Xingyue City? Is there something happening?"

The attendant was taken aback, looking at him, "Young master, aren't you here for the Palace Master's birthday celebration? In three days, it's the Xingyue Palace Master's grand millennium birthday, and various powers and masters have come to celebrate."

Qin Hao chuckled awkwardly, "We just rushed here from out of town and weren't aware of this. Since we've encountered it, we ought to present a gift in three days."

The attendant smiled slightly, bowed, and exited the room.

After he left, Qin Hao glanced at Wei Hanxian and Wei Xianyun, "Who'd have thought we'd arrive just in time for the Xingyue Palace Master's milestone birthday."

Wei Xianyun, thinking aloud, remarked, "For the Xingyue Palace Master's birthday, can we even get in without invitations?"

Qin Hao responded, "If it comes to it, we'll just have to sneak in."

Wei Hanxian interjected, "I'll help you get invitations. I came here once millennia ago and know someone from then."

Qin Hao: "Thank you, aunt. Let's eat first."

The three sat down and enjoyed the restaurant's signature dishes, which were indeed delicious and fragrant.

After lunch, Wei Hanxian departed, her figure vanishing from the room, having instantly teleported away.

Qin Hao suggested to Wei Xianyun, "Since we're here, let's go out and explore."

Wei Xianyun nodded, "Let's go out and explore. It's my first time in the Central Continent too."

The two of them left the room, and as they did, the neighboring room door opened as well, and several young men and women emerged, chatting as they walked, "I heard there's a Xingyue Lake in Xingyue City, and making a wish there is said to be very effective."

"Then let's go and see it."

...

The four young men and women exited the room, catching sight of Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun just as they came out.

Upon seeing Wei Xianyun's looks, figure, and demeanor, a hint of admiration flashed in the eyes of the two young women, yet there was no jealousy, while Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun exchanged a glance with them as well.

The four smiled and nodded toward them, and Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun returned the smile, heading toward the stairs.

Exiting the Ziyun Building, Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun exchanged a look. Unfamiliar with the surroundings, they didn't know where to head next.

At this moment, the two young men and two young women came out, noticing Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun at the entrance. One of the young, handsome men spoke up, "Are you planning to tour Xingyue City, young master and young lady?"

Qin Hao looked at him, "That's right, but it's our first time here, and we don't know where to go."

"If the young master and young lady don't mind, why don't we accompany you on a tour of Xingyue City? I've been here once and am rather familiar," the young man invited with a beaming smile.

Qin Hao considered this and replied, "Then we would be grateful for your guidance, Brother."

The young man: "It's no trouble. We are disciples of the Star Formation Sect. My name is Liu Haifeng, and this is my junior brother Wang Yiming, my junior sisters Chang Lin and Yue Ruolan."

Qin Hao: "I'm Hao Tian, and this is my Dao companion, Wei Xianyun."

Upon hearing Qin Hao's introduction, a subtle glint appeared in Liu Haifeng's eyes, "So, you two are Dao companions; forgive my ignorance. May I know which sect you hail from?"

The Star Formation Sect barely qualified as a significant power in Central Continent, and since Qin Hao and his companion were staying at an inn, they were unlikely to be from the top-tier or first-class powers.

As members from top-tier powers would already have accommodations at Xingyue Palace, and first-class power members would have estates in Xingyue City, other powers had to stay in inns, thus establishing a hierarchy.

Qin Hao smiled, "We are loose cultivators and aren't affiliated with any sect."

Liu Haifeng remarked with a chuckle, "Brother Hao displays rare talent, appearing extraordinary. Reaching the Transcendent Realm by oneself is indeed a rare achievement."

Qin Hao and Wei Hanxian both used Divine Skills to conceal their cultivation, currently displaying as Transcendent Realm Early Stage, whereas Liu Haifeng and his group were at mid-to-late Transcendent Realm strength.

"Brother Hao, Miss Wei, please, let's first head to Xingyue Lake. It's truly beautiful there." Liu Haifeng became even more enthusiastic, possibly due to hearing they were loose cultivators.

Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun followed them along the bustling streets filled with people, most of whom were disciples from major, medium, and minor sects.
