Although there is no safe zone like Xuankong Mountain's Beginner's Village, it can still last for 400,000 to 500,000 years without change.
In such complacency, one can linger in place for a long epoch as long as there's no ambition to reach the road's end to contend for the Golden Immortal Path Fruit, and provided there's enough resource, life could be quite pleasant.
Otherwise, why can the small Xuankong Mountain gather four to five thousand Celestial Immortals?
Isn't it just for stability?
Everyone claims to ascend to Golden Immortal, but throughout history, while countless Celestial Immortals have existed, how many Golden Immortals have there been, a hundred perhaps?
Lu Ren couldn't say, but in his heart, a tumultuous wave was stirring.
What stood before his eyes was an imnsely grand colossal city, with city walls so thick and vast that their width was beyond asure, and length untraceable, out of the range of his Superdinsional Perception.
A constant, everlasting, ancient aura perated, the traces of ages long past flowed through the extrely mottled city walls, steeped in enduring ti.
With the accumulation of ti, each brick in these city walls interweaved with divine charm and integrated with the magic of the universe.
Vaguely, Lu Ren could clearly see shadows flickering over the towering Heroic City, indicating beings reside within.
"This is…"
Lu Ren's heart trembled; he certainly did not expect such a majestic Heroic City at the road's end.
His gaze shifted, and as he looked elsewhere, his pupils constricted sharply, seeing countless winding paths like his own lead from all directions, connecting to the wide road extending from the Heroic City's gate.
At this mont, Lu Ren began to speculate that these roads might have been forcibly linked through the void by smugglers seeking to escape this Heroic City?
But this road is unimaginably hard, far beyond the capability of a Celestial Immortal. If only Golden Immortals have the power to create these andering small roads, then…
His gaze swept through, and in just this segnt alone, there were over a hundred paths extending from all directions, reminiscent of borers continually digging underground.
That ant, could it be that hundreds of Golden Immortals have done this?
Upon contemplating this, Lu Ren felt heavily burdened, having traversed the road for ten thousand years would only barely reach the end.
Yet, an ancient-seeming Heroic City stood horizontally here, as if to separate heaven and earth, creating a divide as if Celestial Beings were forever apart.
Cald down, Lu Ren glanced casually and saw at the road's end where it connected to Hero City Raceway a group of Celestial Immortals standing at the edge, silently sitting by and staring at the immovable Heroic City ahead.
As Lu Ren approached, although the Celestial Immortals sensed him, they gave him only a glance before losing interest, continuing to sit, silently cultivating, absorbing the surrounding Primordial Qi, consistently refining their True Power, and keeping ready.
Lu Ren observed these people all diligently cultivating, not imdiately going down to enter Hero City Raceway.
He didn't think of being a trailblazer, many tis integrating with the crowd is the way to gather enough information.
If you rashly enter without sufficient understanding, who knows what might happen.
After sitting for a full two years, Lu Ren was in no hurry, discreetly scanning this crowd whose strength was generally in the Post-Heaven Immortal Realm, even a few Ultimate Celestial Immortals were among them.
Noticeably absent were the Jade Emperor and Tathagata, as well as Queen Mother of the West. If nothing unexpected had happened, they probably had already entered the racetrack earlier.
As for whether they seized so so-called advantage, Lu Ren sneered, as nobody here is a fool, even if they acquire the Supre Golden Immortal's inheritance, Lu Ren believed even Golden Immortals might not be the pinnacle in this city.
In the past two years, Lu Ren saw at least fifteen waves, each with at least a hundred Post-Heaven Immortals racing past, especially with Ultimate Celestial Immortals not being uncommon.
Observing these people in black armor, each wielding standard long spears, forming battle formations, the military aura they emitted made Lu Ren feel extrely solemn.
Lu Ren questioned if he were to confront these hundred Post-Heaven Immortals with a formation including Ultimate Celestial Immortals, a single charge may strip him of a layer of skin.
For ordinary Celestial Immortals, or even the likes of Qing Cheng, Changkong, and other Celestial Immortal Extre Realm figures encountered at Xuankong Mountain, they might be instantly extinguished in smoke, with both form and spirit perishing.
Finally, soone couldn't bear but ask aloud: "Fellow Daoists, when will the border city consul co?"
The crowd was silent for a while, finally, a middle-aged man in silver-white flowing armor who seed to have been here for a long ti sat cross-legged in the void, emanating the aura of an Ultimate Celestial Immortal, weighty like stars or the Great Sun, making nobody dare to approach within three ters.
He said indifferently: "Be patient, the consul collected one group earlier. We who are without credentials should wait for the consul, attempting the racetrack on our own is suicide."
The crowd stirred slightly but soon cald; none present were fools, yet there were those who defied warning.
Among them, a muscular man with red skin and white beard, clad in black-gold armor with a heavy mysterious mountain overhead, emanating an incredibly intimidating Qi and Blood, a clear Ultimate Celestial Immortal, bood: "I truly do not believe anything will happen! I will go and see what actually occurs."
As he spoke, he stepped onto the road and upon entering the racetrack, turned his head with apparent surprise on his face.
Then, striding confidently, he rushed towards the Heroic City.
However, after a few steps, a cold shout was heard: "Who dares trespass the border city!"
With those words, four streaks of light flew in, once they dissipated, there appeared three soldiers and a minor general, walking and rging their aura into one, showing a coherence that extended beyond the Ultimate Celestial Immortal, spreading out a power.
Though it was only just beyond, even this tiny incrent of force could decide the outco of a conflict.
Lu Ren saw it clearly; this space was extrely stable, even with slightly beyond Ultimate Celestial Immortal power, it rely caused slight ripples like gentle waves.
The brawny man said sonorously: "I am Chen Chi from the Lower Realm, wishing to join the border city army to resist the invasion of Outer Demons!"
"Join the border city army?"
The minor general's cold deanor slightly softened, though his tone remained indifferent: "Show the proof of entry."
"Proof?" Chen Chi felt inwardly troubled despite his calm visage: "I just exited the road and don't know what the proof is."
"You just ca from the road?"
The minor general's face displayed imnse disdain, not uttering another word; he outright drew the Divine Sword from his waist and struck towards Chen Chi.
