However, the wealth of Kunlun Grotto Heaven is even more impressive.
Roar~
As we approached the city gate, a roar that seed to crack the surrounding mountains rang out from within the city walls, overwhelming everything in its path.
The boundless aura made Ye Qingzhou’s heart shiver.
Next, a giant beast with a tiger’s body and a human face, possessing nine heads, erged over the wall. Its nine pairs of majestic and mysterious golden eyes sparkled with lightning, and wherever its gaze landed, it exerted imnse ntal pressure, akin to being struck by an axe, instinctively causing chills.
In Ye Qingzhou’s mind, a record from the Exotic Beasts Compendium suddenly echoed: "Celestial Beast of Enlightennt, embodying golden essence; tiger body with human face and nine heads, manifesting this fierce form; gazing at Kunlun Mountain, intimidating all creatures."
"It’s the Enlightennt Beast!"
"Do not look directly into its eyes, bow your head quickly!"
Lii Yong reminded.
Though not their first visit, Fuu Ping, Li Xiangrong, and others were still dazed for a while by the roar of the Enlightennt Beast.
Only Lii Yong, with his high Refining Spirit Cultivation, could resist this ntal and spiritual intimidation.
Of course, Ye Qingzhou was also unaffected.
Even Huang Liwen remained unhard, entirely unaffected by the beast’s roar, prompting Lii Yong to glance at them both.
Previously, he thought Ye Qingzhou and Huang Liwen had joined his team for prestige, as this kind of thing was common.
But now, Lii Yong no longer believed that, thinking anyone who could withstand the Enlightennt Beast’s ntal intimidation surely wasn’t an ordinary second-generation cultivator!
The Enlightennt Beast rely showed its head and then vanished, allowing everyone present to breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, it’s a mythical life form, and if it were displeased and devoured everyone present, Dongji Kingdom would be powerless against it.
Thus, even though the Enlightennt Beast never showed malice toward the Human Race, humans mostly feared it, feeling as if standing beside it was akin to living with a tiger.
’So strong!’
Ye Qingzhou still recalled the sights and sounds from earlier in his mind: ’The Enlightennt Beast is far stronger than Kang Jinlong; this is what perfect life looks like?’
After Kang Jinlong’s possession, a True Dragon Body was ford, though it was a type of perfect life, its level paled compared to the Enlightennt Beast.
’A mythical life form stronger than Kang Jinlong is rely guarding the gate at the Imperial Capital?’
Ye Qingzhou could not help but marvel at the luxury of Kunlun Grotto Heaven, for powerful figures at the Martial God Realm, none of the Blue Star’s human nations possess even one.
Yet in Kunlun Grotto Heaven, such figures re guard the gate.
’Legend has it that Kunlun Mountain houses the Hundred Gods; surely there must be at least a hundred Martial God Realm figures?’ Even half would suffice to conquer the entire Blue Star.
Ye Qingzhou, the more he pondered, the more he realized the terrifying nature of this power.
Fortunately, the mythical life forms within Kunlun Grotto Heaven seem disinterested in the Blue Star, reluctant even to exit their abode, having stayed inside for over two hundred years without venturing halfway out, as if determined to remain reclusive.
Were it not for this, human civilization on Blue Star might already be extinct.
......
Walking down the streets of the Imperial Capital, Ye Qingzhou seed to be in an Exotic Space-Ti.
Various bizarre creatures passed by occasionally, their attires mostly distinct and full of exotic cultural styles.
Huang Liwen, this LSP (Loveable and Sociable Person), lingered delightfully.
Especially those exotic beauties resembling humans yet bearing beast-like traits caught his eye as a fur enthusiast: "Wow, a real cat-eared girl!"
"That’s a Half-Demon from the Mao Race, likely possessing Cat Demon lineage."
"This is great! The one with horns, a genuine Dragon Lady!"
Following Huang Liwen’s gaze, Ye Qingzhou indeed saw a "Dragon Lady" with pale blue skin. Not only did she have horns, but also crystalline scales growing on her temples, with flawlessly white hair radiating brightly under the sunlight, resembling a celestial being.
"Indeed, she’s beautiful, likely a Dragon Blood Noble among the rfolk."
rfolk are a branch of the Linn Race, revered among dragons, known for their formidable power, ranking in the top twenty strong forces among the Eight Hundred Feudal States in Kunlun Grotto Heaven.
Among the rfolk, those possessing dragon blood are invariably nobles.
At this mont, pleasing celestial music suddenly descended from the sky.
Ye Qingzhou looked up to see four winged celestial horses pulling a luxurious red carriage gliding through the air.
On either side of the carriage were four imposing female knights serving as escorts.
"Huh?"
Fuu Ping exclaid in surprise: "It’s the arrival of a Princess from the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom; sothing significant must be happening."
Yi Li’s "Wangdu Records" states: "The Emperor drives six, vassals drive five, ministers drive four, noblen three, warriors two, commoners one."
Among Kunlun’s Eight Hundred Feudal States, irrespective of national strength, their rank positions them as vassals, differing only in title.
As such, a princess from a vassal state equates to a minister; thus, four celestial horses pull her carriage.
This indicates the Kunlun Grotto Heaven is an orderly, hierarchically stringent society.
This is actually beneficial, as order is better than disorder.
Half a day later, news suddenly spread from the nine-tier Imperial Palace within the Imperial Capital that the Sovereign of the Rakshasa Woman Kingdom intends to marry a Prince Consort. This explosive news sparked endless debate among the city’s inhabitants.
Even Ye Qingzhou and Huang Liwen joined in as spectators.
Huang Liwen couldn’t help but gossip: "I wonder if the Sovereign of Rakshasa Woman Kingdom is beautiful."
Fuu Ping replied with a smile: "Rumor has it she’s as beautiful as a celestial being. Since Rakshasa Woman Kingdom reveres females, none are unattractive, especially those of the Royal Family, with noble bloodlines each possessing enchanting beauty."
Huang Liwen’s face showed envy: "I wonder who is so fortunate to beco the Sovereign’s guest of honor."
Ye Qingzhou quipped: "What, are you wanting to be a prince consort too?"
