Witnessing this, Nanlong Hou couldn't help but feel shocked.

It was originally just a test of spiritual consciousness, but in the blink of an eye it shattered and expanded like a mirror, and the sound was like the continuous explosion of thunder.

Strong winds swept up, forming thick fog that mercilessly dragged the two practitioners into it.

The figures of the two people became blurred in an instant, and seemed to have turned into two motionless black silhouettes in the sky.

"Spiritual consciousness takes shape! How is this possible? Junior Brother Chen's spiritual consciousness is so powerful!"

Lu Luo, who was watching the battle below, saw the scene in the sky and couldn't help but exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.

"According to common sense, the divine consciousness transformation is a magical power that can only be mastered by cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul with their powerful divine consciousness."

"Junior Brother Chen can now perform this technique. Could it be that the technique he mainly practices is more inclined towards the cultivation of spiritual consciousness? This must be the case. This is the only way to explain it."

Lu Luo frowned slightly and whispered to himself.

However, at this moment, the sounds of explosions in the sky became more and more frequent, and the strong wind formed continued to rotate, even forming a huge white wind circle, completely enveloping the two practitioners.

This made Lu Luo exclaim in amazement again.

"Oh! It's unbelievable that Junior Brother Chen is not at a disadvantage." He said slowly with a very strange expression on his face.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed in the sky, followed by a deafening thunder. The originally hazy air circle burst instantly, and violent gale rushed wildly in all directions.

Mu Peiling and others, who were dozens of feet away, all changed their expressions when they saw this majestic white storm.

"Oops!" Lu Luo shouted softly, and his body flashed quickly, blocking Mu Peiling. At the same time, he waved his hands, and a blue shield emerged, protecting his body firmly.

However, with Yaksha's strong body, he naturally does not need to be afraid of this level of strong wind.

However, Yaksha did not want others to know his true identity. He waved his sleeves lightly, and a light gray aura surrounded his whole body.

In just this short moment, the swift gust of wind had already hit the shield.

As a result, there was a constant "creaking" sound, and the solid shield in front seemed to have suffered a heavy blow as soon as it came into contact with it. The moment the strong wind passed by, it was deeply dented several inches.

Fortunately, these strong winds were only dispersed, and most of them slid down the sides of the shield.

The dented shield quickly returned to its original shape.

At this moment, a blue light flashed on Lu Luo's face and the shield was removed.

But he was surprised to find that Chen Daoyou's concubine beside him was calm and looked normal.

The violent gale seemed to have no effect on her.

Not far away on the opposite side, Nanlong Hou and his soldiers showed extremely high training quality when facing the strong wind.

They all raised the golden swords in their hands, and suddenly a large golden light appeared above their heads, like a huge golden shield, protecting them and the beast cart in the middle.

However, even so, when the white storm blew over, the golden light only lasted for a moment before shattering and disintegrating.

Many warriors and female monks fell into severe pain when they were swept by the remaining strong wind. They could not help but hold their heads tightly with both hands, wailing hoarsely. Gradually, they began to bleed from all seven orifices, and their faces revealed a horrifying look of fear.

Only the two female monks in palace dress sitting on the beast cart were spared and safe because they were protected by the restrictions of the beast cart.

They were pale and looked terrified.

At this moment, a cold sneer from Nanlong Hou was heard in the sky.

A ball of golden light fell from the sky, but suddenly exploded halfway, turning into countless golden lights that enveloped his subordinates.

Wherever the golden light passed, the people who were wailing in pain immediately stopped shouting and stood firm again one by one.

Although they still looked terrified, they did not appear to have suffered serious injuries.

Nanlong Hou, who was casting a healing spell, turned his gaze to Chen Yun, who was sitting opposite him with a calm expression. His face was full of surprise and confusion, as if he couldn't believe that the other party could actually rival him with his spiritual sense.

You must know that although he had just released all his spiritual power with all his strength, he had already consumed 70% to 80% of it.

However, the opponent took the attack so easily, obviously he still had some strength to spare. It was even possible that his spiritual power was stronger than his own.

When Nanlong Hou's contempt faded, he became hesitant.

Chen Yun, who was standing opposite him, suddenly smiled at him.

"Can this competition end here? If it continues, I'm afraid I really won't be able to hold on." Chen Yun said in a flat tone.

"Hahaha! Fellow Daoist Chen is too modest. In terms of skills, we may be evenly matched, but in terms of spiritual awareness, you are definitely not inferior to me. It is not a bad idea to end this competition here. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will hurt the harmony between us."

After a moment's thought, Nanlong Hou followed the trend and responded with a relaxed expression.

The previous confrontation had made him feel a certain respect for Chen Yun, and he dared not neglect or despise him easily anymore.

What's more, the other party's powerful spiritual awareness just meets his needs, and he still needs to rely on the other party's power.

"Since Fellow Daoist Chen is not inferior to me in terms of spiritual awareness, I will naturally tell you the real reason for the competition. Just as you expected, if I had no other intentions, I would not force you to compete in spiritual awareness. However, this reason is very important and it is not convenient to explain it in detail here. There is a map hidden in this jade slip. On the fourth day of the trade fair, you can go to the place marked on the map to meet me. At that time, I will introduce several other fellow Daoists to Fellow Daoist Chen, and I will also share a great opportunity with you."

Nanlong Hou smiled strangely at Chen Yun, and when his lips slightly opened, a secret word was clearly heard by Chen Yun.

Then he reached into his storage bag, took out an exquisite jade slip, waved his hand and threw it out. The jade slip turned into a white light and sped away, without paying any attention to Lu Luo and others below.

Chen Yun frowned slightly, then raised his arm and waved it gently, sucking the jade slip into his palm. Then he blinked and looked at Nanlong Hou carefully for a moment, then put the jade slip into the storage bag without rushing to check it.

Seeing this, Nanlong Hou was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed out loud in ecstasy. Then his whole body flashed with light, and he instantly turned into a huge ball of light, falling straight down.

The golden light on the beast-taming chariot shone again, and all the warriors wearing armor and holding weapons surrounded the chariot and galloped towards the direction of Tiantian City. The sound of drums and music in the chariot resounded through the world again.

To Lu Luo, who was standing not far away, the fact that the Nanlong Marquis left without even saying hello was really puzzling. Perhaps other Nascent Soul cultivators would be filled with resentment and dissatisfaction, but Elder Lu of the Luoyun Sect, who was familiar with his strange personality, could only smile helplessly.

At this moment, Chen Yun landed gently on the ground.

"Junior brother, you hid it too well, causing me to be so worried."

Lu Luo, who was standing by, stared at Chen Yun for a long time, his face filled with joy, and he sighed. The last trace of estrangement that was vaguely visible had disappeared at this moment. "Junior brother did not hide anything from the two senior brothers, but the two senior brothers never asked. Now we should set off. The movement of the spiritual consciousness wind just now may attract many cultivators to come and investigate."

Chen Yun said in a calm tone.

"That's true. If it were discovered by other cultivators, it would cause a lot of inconvenience. Let's rush to Tiantian City as soon as possible!" This time, Lu Luo agreed without hesitation.

"Is this the Tiantian City?"

Chen Yun stood on the hillside, looking at the magnificent city wall several miles away, and whispered softly.

"How is it? Junior Brother Chen, have you never seen such a huge stone city? This is the scale formed after the Nine Nations Alliance has undergone multiple expansions. Although I dare not claim to be the largest city in Tiannan, it can definitely be among the top five. Moreover, the entire city is built of huge stones, which is truly unique."

Lu Luo stood beside Chen Yun and said with great emotion.

Chen Yun smiled slightly when he heard this.

Speaking of giant cities, there is no city in the Tiannan region that can compare with the Tianxing City in the Chaos Star Sea. It is a true behemoth.

The city of Tiantian in front of us, even though it is a hundred miles wide, still cannot compare with it.

Although Chen Yun didn't care about it, Mu Peiling, who was standing next to him, was shocked.

The stone city in front of her undoubtedly shocked her.

"However, once you enter the 100-mile radius of Tiantian City, you must walk forward, which is really troublesome!"

Lu Luo shook his head and said with a little dissatisfaction.

Chen Yun pursed his lips and then responded:
"The Nine Nations Alliance had no choice. After all, there are many high-level cultivators here. If everyone flew through the air, they would find it difficult to effectively manage the city. Fortunately, this restriction is only a surface effort for Yuanying-stage cultivators like us. If we really want to fly in the air, how can this restriction restrain us?"

"I never expected that Junior Brother could be so open-minded. Well, let's set off immediately. Perhaps if we enter the city as soon as possible, we can gain something!"

Since the spiritual battle with Nanlong Hou ended not long ago, Senior Brother Lu's attitude towards Chen Yun has become more enthusiastic and friendly than before.

So as Chen Yun smiled and nodded in agreement, the three of them slowly walked down the hillside and walked towards the distant city gate in a swagger.

Because of the proximity of Tiantian City, monks from all directions walked here, and the whole atmosphere seemed very lively.

In order to avoid unnecessary disputes, Chen Yun and Lu Luo had already concealed their own cultivation base, making them look no different from Mu Peiling, a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Therefore, the three of them easily blended in and walked in through the city gate which was more than ten feet tall.

Although there were some law enforcement monks from the Nine-Nation Alliance guarding the city gate, they did not notice any abnormal situation of Chen Yun and his group.

After stepping into the interior of Khotan City, what comes into view are rows of neatly arranged stone houses.

Between these stone houses, there are bluestone streets of varying widths crisscrossing like an intricate spider web.

There is a constant stream of people coming and going.

"We first need to solve the accommodation problem. However, there is no need to share an inn with others. Here, there is a VIP building specially provided for Yuanying monks, which can be accommodated for free. Just go there."

Lu Luo had the good fortune to visit Khotan City once, so he was quite familiar with the place, and he told the story about it in detail.

Chen Yun had no objection to this. He took Mu Peiling and followed the middle-aged man named Lu.

Soon after, the three of them crossed countless streets and finally arrived at an area formed by a white light curtain.

Behind the light curtain are quiet, elegant, and exquisitely crafted attics of various styles.

When other monks outside the light curtain caught a glimpse of the attics inside the light curtain, they all showed expressions of awe and envy without exception, but they did not dare to stay here for too long and rushed past.

"This is it. This restriction can only be broken by cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or above."

Lu Luo lightly tapped with his fingers, then waved his hand towards the light curtain, and his palm suddenly flashed with blue light.

With a "sizzle" sound, a huge gap was torn in the white light curtain by Lu Luo's palm full of spiritual power.

Then, he flashed and went in without hesitation.

The light curtain healed quickly, at an astonishing speed.

Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, and then didn't say much.

A ball of green light came out of his mouth and hit the white light curtain.

After a flash of green light, a large hole with a diameter of about ten feet shattered.

Chen Yun stretched out his arms to hold Yaksha's slender waist, and, surrounded by the faint fragrance, he led her into the light curtain.

Seeing Chen Yun easily break the ban and enter the attic, Lu Luo's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Among these attics, any Nascent Soul cultivator can bring his disciples to choose any one to live in. However, if the restriction outside the attic has been lit up, it means that the attic already has an owner. In this case, you need to choose another one. Of course, not all Nascent Soul cultivators will choose to live here. Some old monsters prefer to live outside the city or in an inn."

As Lu Luo introduced them, he pointed to the attics with a smile. As expected, some of the attics were already flashing with forbidden light.

"Junior brother! We might as well choose these two adjacent attics so that we can take care of each other."

Lu Luo pointed to two attics about fifty or sixty feet away from them and suggested.

"It's all up to senior brother to make the decision."

After a brief observation, Chen Yun responded calmly.

Just as Lu Luo was about to continue expressing his opinion, the restrictions on a nearby attic shrouded in white and yellow light were suddenly opened, and a short figure walked out of it.

This person had fair skin, like a jade boy. He was the fire dragon boy that Chen Yun had seen in the Three Sects Holy Land.

At this moment, as soon as he finished speaking, his eyes rolled around and his gaze fell directly on Chen Yun and Yaksha, with a look of astonishment on his little face.

Due to the Fire Dragon Boy's excellent memory, he was able to quickly identify Chen Yun based on a brief encounter with this person more than 20 years ago. Chen Yun was an acquaintance of his at the Sword Trial Competition. (End of this chapter)
