The flying ship continued to fly through space at extremely fast speed, leaving behind world after world, moving somewhere deep in space.
Days continued to pass slowly.
Days after days, people on the flying ship continued to increase, and very soon, the almost empty flying ship was crowded with people. Almost all the rooms of the flying ship has now someone leaving in there.
Many people from different worlds meet and became friends. Many also became enemy as the dispute between them were born from some minor accident or misunderstanding, and because of someone's arrogance.
Ye Xiao spent his days with Yue Ying. Whenever the flying ship landed on a new world, he would bring Yue Ying out and look out the new things, enjoy the environment, and buy something of need.
Zhang Danfeng attempted many times to kill Ye Xiao but every time he failed. Ye Xiao didn't kill Zhang Danfeng because Zhang Danfeng was the emissary. If he recklessly killed him, no one will be able to reach the destination where the Competition of the Myriad Worlds was going to be held.
Very soon, more than a month and a half passed. Now, there were only two days left before the flying ship would arrive at its destination.
During these days spent on the flying ship with many people of different different worlds and conversing with them, Ye Xiao has already found out that the destination of the flying ship was a world called Great Martial World.
Upper Realm has thousands upon thousands of worlds and the Great Martial World is said to be one of the biggest worlds out there in the entire Upper Realm!
Of the worlds in the Upper Realm, what decided which was larger and smaller was not their mass or area. Rather, it was the number of powerhouses as well as the quality of the spirit energy there.
It is said that there are some places in the Great Martial World where True Essence float in the air instead of spirit energy.
Those places were already monopolized by great powers and sects. None of such places is an ownerless place.
It is also said that those powers who have monopolized such places have created a special kind of cultivation technique to absorb and refine the True Essence and increase their strength.
But those cultivation techniques were only available for Dao Manifestation Realm martial artists. As for others, they can get their hands on that cultivation technique and cultivate in the land where the True Essence float in the air only if they fulfill certain conditions.
The first one is that they must belong to those powers, the second one is that they must have the cultivation base of at least Middle Stage Ancient Immortal Realm, and the third one is that they must contribute greatly to the power they belong before they could get their hands on the cultivation technique and a chance to cultivate on the place where the True Essence exists.
This Great Martial World had an incomparably rich stock of resources. There was also an extremely high number of secret realms.
According to some of the people, the Great Martial World has several hundred thousand First Level sects and hundreds of Sacred Lands.
Time continued to fly by and very soon, they have arrived in front of the Great Martial World.
Although Ye Xiao had mentally prepared himself, he was still shocked when he truly saw Great Martial World with his own eyes.
"This is the Great Martial World?"
Ye Xiao gazed at the massive world in front of him and was shocked beyond belief. It was not his first time seeing a different world.
During these two months of time, he had already been to many different worlds but none of them looked as big as this world. What was more, from afar, this world looked blueish green, magnifying its beauty to great extent?
Great Martial World was surrounded by a strong barrier, protecting this world from every outside danger. For all these hundreds of millions of years, countless array formations and mind-boggling amounts of energy were used to support this protective barrier, and thus the barrier exuded a simple and boundless aura.
Right now, everyone could see countless massive flying ships shuttling in and out of the Great Martial World. These flying ships also had participants from many other different worlds.
From this alone, one can see how terrifying this Competition of the Myriad Worlds was going to be.
The flying ship that Ye Xiao was in descended in a huge city. This city was called Great Martial City and was said to be the center of the Great Martial World.
At the front gates of this city, there was a squadron of guards in golden armor. These guards were all the Immortal Emperor Realm martial artists, and there was a divine war chariot next to them. These divine war chariots were crafted by Immortal Grandmaster Refiners. As long as one placed enough Immortal Stones in them, they would be able to display an incredible destructive power.
"Great Martial City… this is where one of the Sacred Land exists that controls a place filled with True Essence!" Ye Xiao came here this time with others in order to participate in the Competition of Myriad Worlds. But when he heard about the secret cultivation technique that could help one cultivate the True Essence, he made a plan to try to get his hand on that secret technique/
It was not for himself but for Yue Ying and other girls. He would let them cultivate this technique and then send them on the Third Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda to cultivate.
This way, not only could his women be able to stay beside him always, but their strength will also not fall behind. Instead, they would be able to increase their cultivation bases at an incredibly fast speed.
Of course, he would only let them stay on the Third Floor and not let them wander outside the Nine Story Pagoda.
As the ship descended outside the city, everyone started getting down the flying boat. As they were getting down, the judges of their corresponding worlds gave them a token and told them that it was the participant's token and only participants with this token can take part in the Competition of the Myriad Worlds.
"This city is huge. This is really my first time witnessing such a magnificent city."
As Ye Xiao got down the boat with Yue Ying, he heard Yue Ying exclaiming in shock. It was not only her, but almost all the people who arrived at this world from the other worlds were greatly shocked.
"Yes, it is!"
Ye Xiao nodded his head and replied with a look of admiration on his face.
As the two spoke, they arrived at the Great Martial City's city gates. There were two city gates in total.
The two city gates were thousands of feet high and the aura they exuded was grand and towering. There was a massive stream of people pouring through the gates. A great number of them were at the Immortal King and Immortal Emperor Realm.
"Mm?" Suddenly Ye Xiao was faintly startled. He didn't find it strange that there were so many powerhouses here, but as he entered, he discovered that there were many young people. Moreover, each one of them had a solid foundation and amazing talent as well as a strong cultivation base.
These people would all be at least direct disciples of big families or great sects. There were simply so many of them here…
Ye Xiao didn't dwell on this too much as he entered the city gate after showing the token in his hand. All the judges have already cleared previously that after landing on the Great Martial World, everyone will be on their own.
Normally, in Great Martial City, one had to pay 10,000 Middle-Grade Immortal Stones to enter. This sort of wealth would cause the vast majority of martial artists to shrink back in fear and not dare to approach this city.
But since Ye Xiao was a participant in the competition, he didn't have to pay and was able to directly enter the city with Yue Ying.
As Ye Xiao entered, he was again amazed by the scene in front of him. He looked everywhere and chose a direction to walk.
"Alchemist Association"
As Ye Xiao and Yue Ying were walking, they stopped in front of a magnificent building. On the top of this building was a signboard with the words "Alchemist Association" written in large golden-red characters. Each of these words contained faint fluctuations of the Metal Laws.
Upon stepping into this Alchemist Association, one would enter into a different space. The space inside was dozens of times larger than the exterior and one could even fly!
This was also a reasonable matter. After all, Great Martial City was too big and was the center of the Great Martial World. In addition, there were also many First Level as well as one Sacred Land that had set up a base here. This caused Great Martial City to have a ridiculously inflated cost for the property.. Thus, there were many buildings here that would have their own minor dimension built within to expand the building.
