Chapter 305 - An Odd Eye (2/2)

Ignoring the eye, he shot towards Mei. With his speed, he swiftly caught up. Mei didn't find his disappearance concerning. She had purposely slowed down after realizing Yan Zaizen had halted and retreated. She felt that Yan Zaizen was doing this to get her attention once more, but she didn't feel he was worthy enough for him to gather such attention from her.

”The eye is still following me...I wonder…” He could feel a particular gaze intently honed to him. However, this gaze was cautious and curious, as if it both feared Yan Zaizen but couldn't help but want to know more about him. This feeling left him thinking of a small child following a scary looking dog. It was somewhat cute.

Before long, they arrived at the Immortal City.

The city was truly a place for immortals. It glimmered with a faint white light that gave off a holistic aura. The area wasn't fully industrialized by cultivation standards, included within its borders were tall mountains, long rivers, cascading waterfalls, and more. It gave off a sense of natural majesty.

However, it did have residents, shops, skyscrapers that towered to the sky, and unique symbols denoting the Paradise Sword Palace. It was like the perfect mixture of beautiful nature and mortal creations.

”Truly beautiful…”

”Indeed!” Mei exclaimed, her eyes glimmering with pride and excitement.

Yan Zaizen didn't comment further, his eyes focusing on the border walls of the Immortal City. It wasn't tall. Actually, it was quite short with a height of nine meters. However, etched onto the walls were inscriptions that looked like a long painting. This painting had rivers and mountains with a sun and moon above. The clouds moved about, and it was as if the painting detailed the reincarnation cycle of day and night.

The truly astonishing point was the vividness of it all. The sun, moon, clouds, rivers, and even the grass on the mountains moved. It wasn't like watching a painting, but like watching the real world pass through the endless time.

Yan Zaizen noticed that some of the objects in the paintings were mirror images of landmarks within the city. ”This painting gives off a very ancient feeling...if that's the case, then perhaps its truly an immortal city?” Yan Zaizen soft said, marveling the profoundness of an Immortal City.

”Yes!” Mei seemed ecstatic at Yan Zaizen's words. Normally, a person of the realm with a decent cultivation base has seen the Immortal City once or twice, so it wasn't that special to them, but when a newcomer comes, it becomes a life imprinting event. ”The Immortal City has stood since time immemorial! The mountains and rivers inscribed on the walls have been there even before the Paradise Era!”

Mei's enthusiasm caused Yan Zaizen to smile softly. He has seen many things in his life, and this would be something imprinted into his memory, but it wasn't too important. He had created a realm between two universes, was at the center of a sub-realm collapse, seen a black hole that seemed capable of devouring all, and even that giant eye above was beyond the city in his mind.

They went past the gate, not eliciting any reaction from the guards. It seemed they were likely there only for show. After all, this was the Paradise Sword Realm. Who would cause an issue when the god of this heaven was two feet away?

”Where's the Gate of Heaven?” Yan Zaizen looked around casually, then above. The eye was staring at Yan Zaizen without relenting. However, its gaze had returned to normal but seemed unwilling to let Yan Zaizen out of its sights. He couldn't help but chuckle softly. It was like a child unwilling to let something curious out of its sights.

Mei didn't understand why Yan Zaizen was chuckling, she but continued leading the way. ”The Gate of Heaven is at the center of the Immortal City.”

Earlier, Mei had informed him earlier during her excitement that the reason the city stood tall regardless of the era and will was due to the Gate of Heaven. It was the only method to enter the Heavenly Origin Grounds, the center of the thirty-three heavens.

Yan Zaizen nodded faintly, but he felt curious. ”That existence said ninety-nine heavens...yet no one speaks of it. Is it possible it was wrong or is it a secret only the peak of the world knows?” As Yan Zaizen contemplated this, they quickly made their way to the center of the city.

The sights were remarkably beautiful. Yan Zaizen made a note to take Pinaka, Tao, and Bai Lufeng here one day. ”Maybe there's an Immortal City in the 27th Heaven?”

”We're here!”
