Five cities have Spiritual Sources, eight cities don't. You can imagine what kind of crisis these five cities are facing.
No wonder the defenses are so strict on the Spiritual Birth Day. There's really no helping it. For the sake of survival, what else can anyone do?
The Bright City Lord gave a few more instructions, then pointed at several people beside him and said, "These people will enter the Spirit Birthplace to carry out so tasks when the ti cos. This is by my special permission. You are not to block them. As for what exactly they're going to do, that's none of your concern!"
Everyone looked at those few people. They could all tell these were Guardian Gods.
Su Yang had already noticed them. As soon as they ca out, he sensed their aura—it was exactly that group under the Nine Palace Main God.
He just hadn't expected that these people were actually going to enter the Spirit Birthplace.
And the Bright City Lord even gave special orders that the guards were not to obstruct them, letting them move freely inside. What did this an? What exactly had the Nine Palace Main God's group said to the Bright City Lord for him to agree to this?
However, from the Bright City Lord's expression and tone as he introduced them, Su Yang could tell he still didn't like these Guardian Gods at all. It's just that now he was the City Lord; he couldn't just kill Guardian Gods at will. Doing that would put Bright City itself in danger. So he hadn't acted, but that didn't an he was cooperating with them.
Su Yang was full of doubts. What exactly did the Nine Palace Main God's group want to do in the Spirit Birthplace? Weren't they here to look for Su Yang's mother? Why had they co to Bright City instead? And they were even waiting for the Spiritual Birth Day to enter the Spirit Birthplace—what was really going on?
The Bright City Lord spoke about a few more matters, then directly ordered everyone to head to the back mountain to guard the Spirit Birthplace.
Su Yang and the others followed the crowd to the back mountain, each taking up their assigned position and locking down the Spirit Birthplace.
The spot assigned to the four of them happened to be right by the canyon. Looking down from above, the canyon was truly bottomless. No one had any idea what it was like inside.
This canyon was the true Spirit Birthplace!
Standing on the canyon's edge, Su Yang could clearly feel waves of power fluctuations surging out from within. It was as if sothing inside was about to burst forth. The sensation was extrely strange.
Su Yang observed for a while but didn't find any traces of anything. anwhile, the Nine Palace Main God's group had also arrived. They, too, stood at the edge of the canyon, looking down just like Su Yang. Only, there was no confusion on their faces. They just quietly waited, as if they were waiting for the Spiritual Source to appear.
Su Yang was even more surprised. Was the Nine Palace Main God's group really here to wait for the Spirit Birthplace to open? But what exactly were they waiting for it for? Weren't they supposed to be searching for Su Yang's mother?
Ti ticked by. After roughly two days, a cold shout suddenly rang out from within the Bright Hall: "To think you two are City Lords, yet you sneak around like rats in the dark. Don't you feel ashad?"
As the voice fell, a tall figure flew out from the Bright Hall and shot into the sky above Bright City.
Only then did Su Yang notice that there were actually two people hiding in the darkness above Bright City, secretly observing below.
The Bright City Lord rushed up and threw a punch that shattered their disguise, revealing their true figures.
Seeing the two, an uproar broke out among the people below. "It's the Qianye City Lord and the Du Cang City Lord!"
"Why are those two here?"
"Qianye City and Du Cang City don't have any Spiritual Sources being born. Are they… are they here to seize our Spiritual Source?"
"Hmph, just two petty thieves. Trying to snatch a Spiritual Source right under our City Lord's nose—dream on!"
"Exactly. Those two have so nerve coming to Bright City to steal a Spiritual Source. Isn't that courting death? Brothers, stay sharp! Those two pieces of trash are no match for our City Lord. But don't let them distract you. If their underlings use that chance to steal the Spiritual Source, that would be our sha!"
"Right! We'll defend the Spiritual Source to the death!"
Everyone shouted in unison, their montum soaring to the heavens. It was clear they had absolute confidence in the Bright City Lord.
The Bright City Lord faced off against the two in midair for a mont, then the pair simply retreated, as if they'd been scared off. In reality, no one relaxed. They all knew the two City Lords weren't actually withdrawing—since the Spiritual Source hadn't appeared yet, it simply wasn't the best ti to make a move.
Only when the Spiritual Source erged would they truly act. That would be the perfect mont to fight over it!
The scene just now had also shocked Su Yang to the core.
He hadn't expected that before the Spiritual Source even appeared, it would already draw two City Lords here.
And the strength of those two was anything but simple. They weren't as strong as the Bright City Lord, but Su Yang could feel that their power was still absolutely unfathomable, clearly much stronger than the Nine Palace Main God.
It seed that in this Land of Chaos, becoming a City Lord was truly no easy feat. Without enough strength, you simply couldn't climb to that position!
After waiting another day or so, the fluctuations within the canyon finally reached their peak. Under everyone's excited gaze, a torrent of powerful Spiritual Energy erupted from within the canyon.
"It's here! It's here! The Spiritual Source is here!" the crowd shouted excitedly.
As the Spiritual Energy burst out, countless Spiritual Sources shot up from the canyon.
At the sa ti, many people leapt into the air from around the valley, intercepting those Spiritual Sources midair.
Su Yang knew these were the people Feiyu had ntioned earlier—the ones specialized in collecting Spiritual Sources.
Now that the Spiritual Sources had finally appeared, it was ti to harvest them.
Right then, the Bright City Lord once more flew out from Bright City and rose into the sky.
The other two City Lords appeared again as well. This ti, neither side wasted any words and they clashed imdiately.
The three City Lords fought in the sky, while outside Bright City, the sounds of chaotic battle roared. Without a doubt, these were the troops brought by the two City Lords attacking the city from outside.
Su Yang couldn't help but be shaken. This was a Saint Emperor Level lee. How many Saint Emperors were involved in this battle?
More and more Spiritual Sources appeared from within the canyon, and their quality kept getting higher.
Even Su Yang felt his heart race at the sight. In just the short ti he'd been watching, enough Spiritual Sources had erged to be used by tens of thousands of Saint Emperors. Su Yang had obtained a lot of Spiritual Sources from the Bei Yuan Dynasty before, but compared to the ones coming out of here, those were nothing.
No wonder these Spiritual Sources could sustain so many Saint Emperors in Bright City for hundreds of years. There was no way the quantity could be small.
