Chapter 2083

There are many strong individuals in Central State; as Xiao Feng flew through the air, nearby hermit immortals would occasionally scan him.

After many such occurrences, he grew accustomed, no longer surprised, and headed straight for Yu Emperor City.

Yu Emperor City lies at the heart of Central State, an ancient city that has stood for tens of millions of years.

Its location happens to be near the source of the largest spirit vein in the Nine Provinces, with abundant spiritual energy, making it very suitable for cultivators to live. It is said that there are several hundred cultivator sects in the vicinity of the Nine Provinces, and the area within eight thousand li all belongs to Yu Emperor City; even the nearby rural towns are far more prosperous than small cities elsewhere.

When Xiao Feng arrived, he originally thought he would be scanned and inspected by a large number of immortals' divine senses.

But upon entering the Yu Emperor City area, he discovered that everything was actually the opposite.

Here there are too many immortals, who mutually restrain each other, so they hardly ever extend their divine senses outward to scan passing passersby, for doing so would easily offend the strong.

Furthermore, the inner city of Yu Emperor City is still the holy land of all humanity, the center where the great clans' qi luck converges, and no one is allowed to peek.

Looking down from the air, the territory of Yu Emperor City is simply a continuous expanse of human settlement stretching thousands of li.

The ground has farmland, medicinal fields, forests, mountains and rivers; human houses are scattered here and there, forming villages and towns that extend along the official roads toward Yu Emperor City, with scarcely any uninhabited stretches over a hundred li along the way.

Such prosperity is in no way inferior to that of modern society with its population explosion.

Speaking seriously, the population density here might be no less than that of a first-tier Chengshi in modern society.

Moreover, without high-rise buildings to concentrate the population for residence, the houses appear even more densely packed; looking out, it is as if

a supergiant Chengshi covering over ten thousand kilometers.

However, when Xiao Feng from afar saw the true Yu Emperor City, the surrounding villages instantly dimmed in comparison.

Yu Emperor City is surrounded by a wall tens of meters high, made of yellow earth, looking quite simple.

But this wall is not simple; huge ancient symbols are carved onto it, linking together to form a grand super formation, filled with a mysterious and unfathomable aura.

Moreover, the prosperity inside the city far surpasses that outside; there are actually countless classical high-rise buildings, even structures floating in the air, making it seem as if one has entered the metropolis of a Xian Xia civilization in a game world, and the whole scene is completely renewed!

"He Ruoxiao is a resident of the outer district of Yu Emperor City; let's go see her first, then we can enter the inner city later." Xiao Feng thought.

The core expert players of the Nine Provinces war zone actually have rather unremarkable status in real life; they are either ordinary commoners or ordinary disciples of small cultivation sects.

The Nine Provinces look down on virtual games; true "successful people" would not play such "daydream" things.

Xiao Feng had also learned He Ruoxiao's identity from Han Zichen: she comes from a family of loose cultivators living in a small town on the outskirts of Yu Emperor City.

Her parents are both dart escorts, constantly traveling to earn money and rarely returning home. Although she herself has decent talent, she lacks good resources to use; she is a few years older than Han Zichen, and her cultivation and Li Ti development are roughly on par with his.

In the game world she had previously obtained a top-tier cultivation art, which is also usable in reality; but in just a few short years, the changes have not been great.

After all, not everyone can be like Xiao Feng,

receiving an opportunity personally granted by the Dao Ancestor.

Xiao Feng used his Divine Sense to search for He Ruoxiao's aura; as soon as his Divine Sense spread out, it was bounced back by a domineering Divine Sense.

"Yu Emperor City is an important area; fellow Daoist, please do not recklessly scan the entire region." A wave of consciousness transmitted.

"Alright..."

Xiao Feng had no choice but to withdraw his willpower.

In the game world, he sent a message to Han Zichen, asking: "Zichen, ask He Ruoxiao if there are any conspicuous buildings around her home. I've already arrived, but there are too many immortals here, so I cannot search like others do."

Han Zichen was currently engaged in battle, wielding an immortal sword in one hand and the Devil Emperor Fist in the other, slaughtering enemies everywhere.

Upon receiving the message, he immediately replied: "Alright, I'll ask; don't wake me yet, wait until I finish this fight!"

After half a minute, he again said to Xiao Feng: "She says there is a twelve-zhang-high blue stone tower near her home, opposite a cloth shop, with a stone ox half a person's height at the entrance."

"Hmm, I'll look for it; you guys go offline after you finish the fight." Xiao Feng responded.

His illusory body held Han Zichen as they slowly flew through the air, searching for the so-called blue stone tower.

Tower-shaped structures are still relatively easy to find; after flying for a while, he located the twelve-zhang-high blue stone tower in the area southeast of Yu Emperor City, about 1200 kilometers away.

Then, after comparing some district details, he found the spot where a stone ox stood at the gate, opposite a cloth shop.

This place is merely a small town, but its prosperity is no less than that of the city centers of other prefectures.

On the street, people come and go; among every few dozen passersby, there is one who bears an extraordinary aura.

"There are truly many experts; in this place, ordinary people would probably have a hard time getting by." Xiao Feng thought.

He Ruoxiao's home's

The main gate was closed; a small-scale sweep of the Divine Sense revealed that inside lay a rather familiar woman lying flat in a room.

Besides her, there was no one else in the household.

"Living alone and playing games all day without getting up—aren't you afraid of thieves?" Xiao Feng muttered inwardly.

It seems the public security of Yu Emperor City is quite good; otherwise, such a solitary woman would be in great danger!

With a light leap, Xiao Feng vaulted over the wall into He Ruoxiao's home without disturbing her.

Then……

Just as he entered, a Divine Sense sought him out.

"Fellow Daoist, what is your intention?"

That Divine Sense fluctuation was quite strong, seemingly that of a star‑level expert.

Xiao Feng startled, then realized that He Ruoxiao was not living alone unprotected; the person guarding her was far stronger than Han Zichen's protector Yao Rang.

"I am her friend, I came specially to visit. How should I address you, fellow Daoist?" Xiao Feng responded.

The Divine Sense transmitted a fluctuation: "Descendant of the Yu Emperor, Yi Yunshuang."

A descendant of the Yu Emperor!

A direct descendant!

Xiao Feng was startled: "Turns out to be a descendant of the ancient holy emperor; my apologies, my apologies."

That Divine Sense did not continue the conversation.

But Xiao Feng felt an aura rapidly approaching.

He turned his head and saw a white flash rush out from within Yu Emperor City; in a moment it landed in the courtyard and stood before him.

This descendant of the Yu Emperor is a woman.

She looks about twenty, wearing a snow-white robe; her eyebrows are like ink paintings, her eyes like stars, her black hair reaches her waist, her face shows little expression, and she has an aloof, noble air untouched by mortal fire.

The aura emanating from her is actually that of a Star-level Peak, only one step away from entering Eternity.

"Fellow Daoist." Xiao Feng greeted.

The descendant of the Yu Emperor, Si Yunshuang, nodded slightly, her gaze

It landed on the body of the girl held in Xiao Feng's arms.

"Han Zichen?" she asked.

"It's her, Fellow Daoist, do you know her?" Xiao Feng was a bit surprised, yet felt it was reasonable.

Other immortals might not understand the situation in the game, but since this descendant of the Yu Emperor protects He Yuruo, she must know something.

Si Yunshuang replied: "I've been in the virtual universe; we've met once. You are... Xiao Feng?"

"Eh, you even know me?" Xiao Feng was even more surprised.
