Chapter 166: The Brilliant Civilization of Martial Arts

Spirit Realm experts are capable of overseeing a major power, ensuring its prosperity for hundreds of years as a stabilizing force!

How could they so easily take action, or even allow themselves to fall?

It would be more accurate to say that if it really came to the point where even Spirit Realm experts had to take action, it would definitely be a great battle!

However, what relieved Yan Qing was that Shen Xing did not continue to ask.

But he also had a deeper understanding of the young man in front of him, whom even his ancestor treated with great respect—just looking at his attitude of treating Spirit Realm experts as ordinary, he must come from an extremely powerful force in the outer region!

Yan Qing could already feel the completely different perception of the other party, almost revealing his identity between the lines.

At this time, Shen Xing and the others also sat in a luxurious and huge beast-drawn carriage, pulled by two Second Realm demon beasts.

That’s right, in this city, if you don’t want to run around, you have to have a means of transportation, and the speed can’t be slow.

Because the entire Garrison City is extremely huge, Shen Xing had already explored it when he was in the sky. Not to mention the towering walls that are thousands of meters high, the farthest distance within the city is a full twenty-one kilometers!

Yes, twenty-one kilometers!

This is obviously not a backward ancient city, but a majestic city of this scale that has been continuously built for hundreds or even thousands of years in such a world of martial arts where almost everyone is a martial artist!

It can even be said that it is a manifestation of the prosperity of human civilization in this world.

And many things in the city also gave Shen Xing a sense of exoticism different from technological civilization.

The roads are wide, and the buildings are also very tall. Among them, there are huge buildings hundreds of meters high. Shen Xing can even see two towering towers in the city that almost reach the height of the city walls.

Compared with this, Dragon Flood City is like the gap between a small county town and a first-tier city in the previous life.

In addition, such a huge city also has a certain urban management system. Even the roads are divided into several lanes. Shen Xing saw many vehicles pulled by demon beasts running at high speed on specific roads, while martial artists who did not take vehicles jumped and ran on other roads.

It seems to be in good order.

Such a scene, such a picture, could not be seen in Dragon Flood City at all.

To the extent that Cao Qiyun and the others were a little stunned.

However, their reaction made Shen Xing slightly dissatisfied.

“Since you have followed this Young Master, you should be more composed,” he said directly, shaking his head and scolding, “Even a place like this is such a performance. If you follow this Young Master back to the clan in the future, wouldn’t you be a disgrace to this Young Master?”

“Young Master is right,” the several people lowered their heads in shame.

In the Wu Region, they had indeed never seen such a huge and prosperous city.

Looking around, almost everyone walking on the streets is a martial artist!

Except for children, even street vendors have at least Skin Tempering strength.

And when Yan Qing saw this scene, he also understood. It is likely that these five people were attendants recruited by Young Master Shen in a small area on the road.

This also gave Yan Qing some ideas.

Since this Young Master Shen is willing to recruit attendants, is it possible to recruit a few more?

He himself is naturally unwilling, but he also has several talented grandsons and granddaughters. If they can be sent to this Young Master Shen

However, Yan Qing will not rush to propose.

Not to mention the attitude of his ancestor, Shen Xing himself is also too mysterious.

At this time, Shen Xing didn’t care much about his thoughts. The previous scolding was actually just to maintain his “prestige”.

He was also observing the city in his own way, and he soon discovered that this place was not “Third Realm experts are everywhere, and Innate experts are as common as dogs”.

Ninety-nine percent of the martial artists are only in the Body Tempering Stage. Innate experts are still not common. When they occasionally appear, most of the martial artists on the street respectfully make way.

Although there is no such “Innate Ancestor” aura as in Dragon Flood City, judging from this ratio, Innate experts can still be regarded as strong in this place.

“Xiaoling, how many Innate martial artists are there in the city?” Shen Xing suddenly asked.

Yan Qing was stunned again.

What kind of question is this? Garrison City is located at the border and is connected to the Black Forest. Every day, a large number of martial artists enter or leave the country to find opportunities.

However, a voice suddenly came from Shen Xing’s body.

“There are currently 2,432 Innate martial artists, Master. In addition, there are 124 Third Realm martial artists, and the total population is 3.72 million.”

This was Xiaoling’s voice.

But Yan Qing suddenly tensed up.

He doesn’t know about the Divine Weapon.

Moreover, he doesn’t know the number of Innate martial artists, but he still knows the approximate number of Grandmasters and the total population.

It’s exactly this many, not much different!

Could this be a direct scan of the entire city with Divine Sense?

Yan Qing trembled slightly and suddenly understood his ancestor’s attitude a little!

“The number is not large, but it is rare to be placed here,” Shen Xing commented.

This is also true. In terms of surface area alone, this place is even larger than Linjiang City, and almost everyone is a martial artist. The proportion of Innate experts is also not low.

It can only be said that although this world does not have the science and technology of the Human Federation, it can actually develop a brilliant martial arts civilization with the support of transcendent martial arts.

However, this also made Shen Xing look forward to it even more.

If the civilization of this world was only at the level of the Wu Region, he would have a headache and be disappointed.

For him, the more developed and prosperous this place is, the better.

Because that means greater wealth and more opportunities!

Not to mention anything else, such a huge martial arts population alone will have an exceptionally large amount of martial arts resources circulating in the market, and naturally, there will be some top-level resources among them.

And it can be easily obtained just by virtue of wealth and status.

Just thinking about it, Shen Xing was a little impatient to see it.

◈◈◈

However, the first destination is still the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion.

Hopefully, this “mysterious” force will not disappoint him.

At the speed of the demon beast carriage, they soon arrived at the location of the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion. However, to Shen Xing’s surprise, this was one of the two tallest towers in the city.

The whole body seems to be made of black boulders. There should be no steel bars, but it is supported by stone pillars surging with Yuan Qi. There are even some inscriptions visible on them.

It is actually the use of refining techniques in construction!

Shen Xing stood at the door for a while, and Yan Qing also accompanied him. Just this short while attracted the attention of many passing martial artists.

“Isn’t that Yan Qing, Lord Yan from the Prince’s Mansion?”

“Who is that boy?”

“Am I seeing things wrong? Why does Lord Yan seem to be accompanying him?”

“You’re not seeing things wrong. Lord Yan is indeed standing behind him.”

“Could he be a prince from the Imperial Capital?”

“Even if he is a prince, there is no need for Lord Yan to accompany him, right? He is the son of the Eastern King!”

“…”

Obviously, just the fact that Yan Qing was following him was enough for Shen Xing to receive many surprised and awed gazes.

This is also the benefit of first befriending and shocking a Fourth Realm expert.

At least, no one will suddenly jump out to provoke him, and then he will have to waste time slapping their faces.

And such gazes naturally did not make Shen Xing feel the slightest discomfort.

He looked around at the door for a while and walked directly in.

The inside does have the appearance of a library. On the first floor alone, you can see wooden shelves, and many people come and go.

And in front of the shelf placed at the door sat a beautiful woman in her thirties who looked intellectual and held a book in her hand.

“Isn’t this Lord Yan?” The beautiful woman raised her eyes, glanced at Yan Qing, and chuckled twice, “Why are you free to come to my Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion today?”

“Yan Siniang, you are mistaken. I am just accompanying you today. This Young Master Shen is the distinguished guest.” Yan Qing raised his hand and smiled, obviously familiar with this woman.

With his status, there are not many people in this Garrison City who can match his status, but this Yan Siniang in front of him can be counted as one.

The Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion is famous throughout the entire Holy Lake Region.

“Which family’s young master is this? He looks quite strong, huh?” Yan Siniang, who also had Third Realm strength, first glanced at Shen Xing casually, then glanced again, and then was directly stunned.

Her first glance only saw Yan Qing, whose strength was not below hers. It was not until this moment that she suddenly realized that this young man, who looked to be at most sixteen or seventeen years old, had a terrifying aura.

Especially the dragon’s might that filled his body, even she felt a little palpitations.

But how is this possible!

The other party is only at the Innate Realm.

No, it’s impossible in itself to reach the Innate Realm at this age!

“This is” Yan Siniang had already stood up, and her expression could not help but become serious.

“Young Master Shen,” Yan Qing introduced, and then emphasized, “Young Master Shen comes from the outer region and is a distinguished guest personally received by my father!”

Just this sentence made Yan Siniang raise Shen Xing’s status again.

Yan Qing’s father, that is the most powerful Fourth Realm expert in the entire Garrison City, and even in the entire eastern region of the Lan Kingdom!

Regardless of talent and strength, his background is absolutely terrifying.

When did such a character come to Garrison City?

And this remark also caused many martial artists who were watching from afar to whisper, many of whom were shocked, obviously frightened by what Yan Qing said.

However, no matter how they were amazed, Shen Xing looked indifferent.

Obviously, from the moment he came here, it was destined that he could not be unknown.

Fame will be made sooner or later.

But at this moment, he was still more interested in this Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion.

“This Young Master is indeed visiting your Holy Lake Region for the first time,” Shen Xing said unhurriedly, “I heard that this Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion is dedicated to collecting and sharing Divine Intent Inheritances? This has made this Young Master quite interested. Why don’t you introduce it to this Young Master first?”

“He is indeed a distinguished guest.”

Yan Siniang chuckled twice, and her gaze towards Shen Xing became more and more curious.
