Chapter 945: Holy City

The first thing people sahile looking towards the direction of the Holy City was not the establishe The city was erected right next to this e, but it was like a se, like a little boat in the middle of a vast ocean

People called this place the Hidden-dragon Mountains It spanned foron top of the endless Barren Earth

The Holy City was tastefully simple and architecturally unadorned It see of countless years but still stood strong

There was a saying in the Mortal Emperor World — Descent in the East, Holy in the South This was referring to Descent City in the Eastern Hundred Cities and Holy City in the Barren Earth

Rumor has it that the Holy City used to be called Heavenwatch City, but later on, cultivators never dared to act wildly in this city, so it became a land of peace Eventually, people came to call it the Holy City instead [1 Siuard, but a different word]

On top of its simplistic style, an endless auspicious air permeated the space above the city all the way into the firmament A violet aura soantic trees in the area, painting a verdant picture Waterfalls fell fro peaks above…

Outsiders had never heard of any unbeatable sect or ie in the Holy City Only some clans were mentioned at best However, they would be sorely mistaken if they looked down on the Holy City for this reason! The Holy City was the gathering spot of the human race and was considered to be on the saest enclaves of the human race in the Mortal Emperor World

Here existed the bases of the es were not as imminent For example, one could only hear about a few clans such as the Cao Clan However, those who understood the city knew that these quiet clans had existed for countless years They were even older than so to the tales, for enerations now, quite a few Immortal Emperors had visited the Holy City Moreover, they never showed off their auras here and only came like ordinary people

Even Immortal Emperors didn’t want to disturb the peace of this place After arriving, they would coes

Because of this legend, the Holy City had always been tranquil Even those who had feuds would not fight inside the city They would go outside to settle the score instead

While standing before the gates of the Holy City, one would see another rolling e in front of the the spectators breathless by weighing down on their hearts This spectacular e was a beloved topic of the inhabitants of this world — the Godwar Mountains; it is said that a battle between deities had taken place here!

Li Qiye softly sighed while looking at the distant Holy City He turned around and saw the Godwar Mountains behind him and his mind became even heavier

After the final battle that year, rivers of blood ran rampant and mountains made of corpses occupied this land Eventually, a neas ushered into the nine worlds, signaling the end of the Ancient Ming Era

Back then, after looking at the generals and wise sages who survived to walk out from the ruins, he asked with a heavy heart: “Where shall you all go froenerals wanted to continue following him while others wanted to return houard this land to protect the last light of dawn for the Mortal Emperor World!”

Since then, a battalion of this army stayed behind in this land and started their own faave it the name, Heavenwatch! It wasn't until much later that it became known as the Holy City

This was not a pleasant feeling for Li Qiye as he stared at the Godwar Mountains Thewith es followed him to battle back in that era

However, a countless number of thehter of the heavens or a wise sage, if one fell in battle, another would take their place Because of the the path with their blood and lives, the army was able to stop one wave of attack after another froic Their enes but even Immortal Emperors! In the end, they were victorious and even Ian for the nine worlds! [1 Plurality is not explicitly stated here, but it can be plural assuular and plural can be probleht choice here]

“Brother Li, are we entering the city?” Ye Chuyun gently asked after seeing Li Qiye’s dazed state

Li Qiye’s mind eventually returned He looked at Ye Chuyun before shaking his head: “You go in first, I want to go to someplace for a bit I’ll meet up with you later”

“Okay, I have to meet a senior anyway” Ye Chuyun was very sensible with her answer: “Just let htly nodded Ye Chuyun didn’t say anything else and bade farewell before entering the city with haste

Li Qiye sighed and determined his next destination, then he headed towards a certain peak
