Overshadowing the Sky: Empress Proud of the World

Chapter 687: Survivors of the myth?

At the end of the distant horizon, a towering city stands. Its walls, like those made of molten iron, exude a majestic power, spanning the two worlds and suppressing the dark starry sky.

Following the monkey's memory, Ye Nan didn't have to spend much effort to find the 90th city on the Tianlu at the edge of the wilderness.

This huge city did not float in the starry sky like the previous ones, but was built on the ground, like an immortal fortress, unmovable and difficult to cross.

Before she got close, Ye Nan felt a sense of vicissitudes and solemnity coming towards her, as if a vast ancient world had opened its door to her, or as if she was about to step onto an ancient and cruel battlefield.

This is a sense of heaviness that is unique to the years. This majestic pass at the end of the horizon has probably existed for eons and has witnessed too much glory and legend. It has deeply engraved that kind of fluctuation and breath, becoming a fluctuation of the avenue, which is now re-projected to the outside world.

Could it be that the ancient heaven in myths and legends really still exists in this world?

Is it in the 90th city on the Heavenly Road ahead?

Ye Nan's heart was filled with waves. She walked on the fairy light and quickly approached the huge city ahead.

"That demon tiger must have gone mad again, and even alarmed the Heavenly Court's Law Enforcer. But the war has subsided for so long, why hasn't the Law Enforcer returned yet?"

"I think he will be fine. The Lord Law Enforcer is from the Heavenly Court and has no rivals in the starry sky. Maybe he has made some unique discoveries and is trying to comprehend them."

"It seems that the Lord Law Enforcer is about to break through again, but if he breaks through to become a Great Sage, he will have to leave for the Holy Abyss in time, and then this city will be left unguarded. Then won't we..."

"Nonsense! The Lord Law Enforcer has guarded this city for more than a thousand years. Even if he leaves, he will definitely leave a way out for us and will not put this city in danger!"

In front of the tall and majestic city gate of Jiushi City, there were cultivators constantly coming in and out, and all kinds of rare birds and beasts were flying around, and above each of them stood one or several powerful cultivators.

At this moment, many monks were looking forward to it, gazing into the depths of the wilderness, eagerly waiting for something.

Witnessing this scene, Ye Nan's heart moved slightly. The 90th city on the Heavenly Road was not an empty city, but there were actually cultivators living there!

Moreover, she noticed that the clothes worn by these monks were extremely ancient, with characteristics of the mythological era.

The language they use to communicate is exactly the same as that used by monkeys and comes from the mythological era.

The next moment, Ye Nan appeared in the sight of a group of cultivators, surrounded by fairy light.

Inside and outside the city, there was an instant silence. Everyone could clearly feel what kind of terrifying power as deep as the ocean was brewing in the body of that graceful and ethereal woman. The surging fairy light powerfully overwhelmed the world.

The eyes were clear and bright. This was a woman who was as beautiful as an elf, but her fairy face was shrouded in mist, and vaguely seemed to have turned into an ancient and strange mask, like a ghost face, seeming to be crying but not crying, and seeming to be laughing but not laughing.

No one dared to move. They all froze in place. Those monks with lower cultivation levels even crawled on the ground, sweating profusely and feeling trembling.

The peerless aura naturally emanating from a Saint King is something that even a Saint cannot resist, let alone these cultivators from the Lunhai Secret Realm to the Xiantai Secret Realm.

At such a close distance, Ye Nan once again discovered a strange phenomenon worthy of attention.

That is the race of the cultivators in the city, which can be said to be extremely mixed. There are humans, demons, and even some ancient races with wide-mouthed fangs and wings on their backs.

When she looked towards the city, she noticed a broken stone man. He was underdeveloped due to being born too early, but he was already a powerful cultivator from the Xiantai Secret Realm. He was now lying on the ground and shivering.

A holy spirit!
The demon race, the human race, the holy spirit, and the ancient race, these four different races actually live in the same city and live in peace with each other. If this happened in the world that Ye Nan knew, it would definitely be an incredible thing.

This is only the part that Ye Nan saw. Judging from the structure of this huge city, it can accommodate no less than one million people. I wonder how many diverse ethnic groups live there.

She had no favorable feelings towards the Holy Spirit, so she raised her hand and a stream of divine light came like a thread, sweeping the Holy Spirit directly over to her.

"Ah!" The Holy Spirit felt the world spinning for a moment and let out a scream. When he could see clearly again, the unreal beautiful woman was already in front of him. Witnessing this scene, all the monks near the city gate were horrified, but they could do nothing. Facing the fairy-like Ye Nan, they felt like ants facing the bright moon, and they had no intention of fighting or escaping.

At the same time, they gradually became aware of a terrible possibility, that is, their law enforcer might have met with an accident.

"Ding."

Ye Nan pointed with one finger, and a fairy flower as clear as glass blossomed above the Holy Spirit's head. The fairy silk was like a root, piercing into his soul.

It was the method created by Ye Nan herself - the Art of Saving Gods. However, she did not intend to save this holy spirit, but only to use it to explore his memory.

In the cognition of this holy spirit, he did not think there was anything wrong in living in the same city with the human race, the demon race, and the ancient race, because he had no concept of humans, demon races, etc., but believed that they all belonged to the same race.

It is not the human race, nor the demon race, nor the ancient race, nor the holy spirit, but it is the only race.

In addition, Ye Nan once again discovered that the earliest memory that this holy spirit could trace back to, like that of the monkey, also stopped at 80,000 years ago.

It was as if this whole sky started from that point in time, and before that, everything was unknown.

She remained silent, released the fairy light, and put the holy spirit down. The latter immediately felt as if he had been pardoned. He broke out in a sweat, kowtowed to Ye Nan repeatedly, and trembled all over.

Afterwards, Ye Nan explored the souls of several cultivators again, ranging from the Secret Realm of the Wheel Sea to the King of Zhan Dao, further confirming her previous speculation.

Moreover, in the eyes of these monks, the mythological era has not ended, and there is even no such thing as the ancient times. The ancient heaven still dominates the world and is preparing for the teachings of immortals.

Teaching the Immortals
Ye Nan's eyes turned cold, and she keenly thought of the slogan of the Yuhua Divine Dynasty.

Originating from the path of immortality, one's heart is dedicated to immortality, one's whole heart is devoted to the Tao, and one becomes an immortal.

She looked again at the monks who trembled under the might of her, the Holy King, and regarded her as a god. They were all wearing ancient clothes from the mythological era, and the language they used was also from the mythological era.

However, their memories all stop at 80,000 years ago, while the real mythological era dates back more than a million years.

Eighty thousand years ago, Emperor Yuhua passed away and the Yuhua Dynasty became the leader of the world. Perhaps it was from that time that this immortal heritage began the astonishing plan to repair the Chengxian Ding.

Eighty thousand years ago, a mysterious great sage descended on this ancient star, claiming to be a member of the Ancient Heaven Court. He trained several holy kings for this ancient star to guard the ninetieth heavenly gate.

Eighty thousand years ago is the starting point of all the memories of the monks under this starry sky. They believe that they are still living in the mythological era 80,000 years later. They have never experienced the ancient times and know nothing about the emperors and kings who overlook the past and present.

Ye Nan's eyes flickered as she glanced at the group of cultivators. She could vaguely sense that inexplicable strange aura on them, but it was already very faint. If they came to the outside world, they would be no different from ordinary cultivators.

80,000 years ago
Ye Nan raised her eyes, looked into the distance, and remained silent for a long time.

She originally thought that she had found a corner of the truth, but she never expected that because of this corner, she stepped into an even thicker fog, where she couldn't see her hand in front of her face and it was confusing.

"Who dares to spy on the secrets of my celestial palace? Kill them without mercy!"

But at this moment, the huge city suddenly shook, and a thunder-like roar suddenly rang out.

"boom!"

The next moment, rolling black fog rose from every corner of the huge city. It was a tremendous war power mixed with fierce killing light, and it was frightening and terrifying.

In an instant, the entire city was shrouded in thick black fog, with the sounds of horses neighing, beasts roaring, and swords flashing, as if a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers had descended from the sky!
