Chapter 1171: 1171

Long Chen realized that his jade tablet said that he was currently within the Grand Xia Ancient Nation .

Within the Central Plains, there were countless sects and tens of thousands of ideologies of the Dao . But there were four special powers, the four ancient nations . The Grand Xia Ancient Nation, the Grand Han Ancient Nation, the Grand Zhou Ancient Nation, and the Grand Chu Ancient Nation .

These four nations had inheritances that could be traced all the way back to the immortal era . The four grand ancient nations were terrifying existences, with their own profound foundations and powerful divine items protecting their karmic luck .

Most importantly, the four ancient nations controlled vast swathes of land . Their population was immense, and they also had plentiful natural resources . No single sect could compare to them .

So even if the Central Plains was dominated by sects, the four ancient nations were still t.i.tans . They were different from sects, and they still retained an imperial regime .

Each ancient nation possessed a terrifying foundation that made it so even an enormous existence like the Xuantian Dao Sect wouldn’t want to provoke them .

The Grand Xia Ancient Nation was located in the eastern part of the Central Plains . Their territory was as large as over ten prefectures in the Eastern Wasteland .

As for where Long Chen was, he was just on the edges . This actually delighted him, because Zheng Wenlong had told him that the original devil race’s stronghold was located within the Grand Xia Ancient Nation’s imperial capital .

“I wonder whether Yue Xiaoqian is there? I better go take a look . ” Long Chen started rus.h.i.+ng deeper into the Grand Xia . But after crossing two huge mountains, he came to a shocked stop .

In front of him was an unending mountain range, and there were multiple layers of light around it . It clearly indicated a formation .

But that was simply insane . Was the Grand Xia’s entire border covered by a formation? Just how much did it cost to maintain such a thing every day?

“Newcomers who want to enter the Grand Xia’s realm, come register with your ident.i.ty badge!” Within the mountain range was a large city gate, and there was an expert shouting on top of it . He had clearly seen the distant, dumbfounded Long Chen .

“Even a door watcher is a Sea Expansion expert? This Grand Xia’s foundation has to be insane . ” Long Chen was filled with shock .

“Please show me your ident.i.ty badge . ”

Long Chen arrived in front of the gate . The gate defender saw that Long Chen was a Foundation Forging expert and immediately became a bit more polite .

Long Chen handed over his Xuantian Dao Sect’s badge . That person checked, waving it over a stone tablet . Words immediately appeared on the stone tablet: Xuantian Dao Sect core disciple, Long Chen .

Long Chen had never known that this badge had such a use . It could actually be used to enter the ancient nations .

“No wonder you have reached the Foundation Forging realm at such a young age . So you’re a core disciple of the Xuantian Dao Sect . Forgive me for my rudeness . ” Envy immediately appeared in this person’s eyes, and his cautious expression relaxed .

“You’re too courteous . I was just lucky to get this status,” said Long Chen .

“Brother Long, is your trip to my Grand Xia for pleasure or business?” asked the guard upon seeing Long Chen was easy to talk to .

After all, Long Chen was a Foundation Forging expert and a core disciple of the Xuantian Dao Sect . To a border guard like him, just talking to Long Chen for a bit would be enough for him to brag about to his fellows .

“The sect’s cultivation techniques are too dull, and my Hall Master said my Dao-heart isn’t steady enough . He ordered me to go wander around to stabilize my Dao-heart . I heard that the Grand Xia’s scenery is beautiful with countless famous mountains and great rivers, heavenly treasures and magnificence, people of great honor and heroism . In terms of inheritance, you’re the top of the four ancient nations . That’s why I came to admire your learning and culture,” said Long Chen politely .

“Brother Long is truly worthy of being a core disciple of a famous sect . Each of your words is like a gem . And you’re right to come to my Grand Xia, its culture is definitely the most profound out of the four ancient nations . There are countless historical sites where you can appreciate the culture . It’s not like a certain nation that learned our inheritance and then shamelessly said that it came from their own nation . Truly shameless to the peak . ” A touch of disdain appeared on the guard’s face .

“Brother, could it be you’re talking about the Grand Han Ancient Nation?” probed Long Chen with surprise .

“You also know of their shamelessness?” Now it was the guard’s turn to be surprised .

“Hehe, I’ve heard a bit about it,” chortled Long Chen .

He hadn’t just heard about it . He had personally experienced an old b.a.s.t.a.r.d from the Grand Han Ancient Nation threatening to kill his entire family when he had been about to kill Han Zhenyu .
