My cultivation is too simple

"This Xutian City... is really illusory!"

Xiao Zhuoran looked at the huge ancient city in the distance with a strange expression on his face.

Xutian City is the holy city of the Sky-Swallowing Ancient Python.

However, the Sky-Swallowing Ancient Python is only a demon after all, and its construction ability is not strong. It can only formally transform when it reaches the Nascent Soul stage. It is naturally impossible for a demon beast of this level to build an ancient city.

So the powerful man in the Spirit-Asking Stage of the Sky-Swallowing Ancient Python used great means to transform into a huge ancient city that stretched for thousands of miles.

Under normal circumstances, this ancient city is a real ancient city, exuding a strong ancient atmosphere. However, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, one can easily discover that this ancient city is actually an illusion.

This is also the origin of Xutian City.

Xutian City is located on a mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles. Because it is an illusion, this ancient city fits the mountain range very well. From a distance, it looks like an ancient city built on the mountain. Every building and every road looks natural.

It seems to be integrated with the heaven and earth, and it feels relaxed and happy at first glance.

Zhou You said, "We are not here to enjoy ourselves. Whether this ancient city is illusory or not has little to do with us. Let's go in and take a look first."

"Ah."

Xiao Zhuoran nodded, and without any nonsense, he and Zhou You entered Xutian City.

Xutian City is very lively. Most of them are half-human and half-snake monsters. The half-human, half-snake monsters are all monsters above the elixir formation stage.

Of course, there are also many monsters that cannot transform. Most of these monsters hide in their own houses or caves. Some monsters also expose their heads and communicate with monsters outside.

Most of these monsters are doing business.

Although Zhou You and Xiao Zhuoran looked like humans, they exuded a strong demonic aura, and no demonic beast doubted them.

There are many monsters like them.

Demonic beasts above the Nascent Soul stage can completely transform into human form.

There are many such monsters in the entire Xutian City.

Nascent Soul stage monsters can be seen everywhere in Xutian City.

Even in the Great Qi Kingdom, those who are at the top of the Spirit Transformation Stage are not uncommon and can be seen occasionally.

The truly high-status people in Xutian City are those with strong bloodlines and those whose cultivation level is above the disaster stage.

Although the monsters in the god-transformation stage are respected by others, they are not very fanatical. At most, they are some monsters with low cultivation level, and they are quite polite to those monsters in the god-transformation stage.

Nepotism is very serious among monsters.

There are very few lone rangers.

It is possible that a certain Jindan stage demon beast has a Huashen stage or even a Du'e stage demon beast backing it up, so even those Huashen stage demon beasts would not dare to rely on their own cultivation to give orders to Jindan Yuanying stage demon beasts, let alone bully them.

Relatively speaking, this place is quite harmonious.

The demon beasts in the Spirit Transformation Stage did not see that kind of arrogant existence.

This surprised Zhou You and Xiao Zhuoran.

"Let's find a place to stay first."

Zhou You said, taking Xiao Zhuoran towards the center of Xutian City.

Xutian City is a mountain city that winds upwards. The higher you go towards the center, the higher it gets. At the highest point, there is a majestic ice and snow temple, in which live the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor and the Heaven-Devouring Ancient Python Royal Family. .

And Princess Qianqian must also be in that ice and snow temple.

So the two quickly came to a city under the Ice and Snow Temple.

The aura of this city is extremely rich. It is the place closest to the core area of ​​Xutian City. The monsters here are at the Nascent Soul stage at their worst, and the monsters in the Core Formation stage cannot be seen at all.

Demonic beasts in the God Transformation Stage can be seen everywhere.

You can even occasionally see one or two monsters coming in and out of the disaster period.

In this way, this place is the most human-like place. All the monsters have transformed into humans, and there seems to be no sense of violation when coming and going.

If not for the strong demonic energy exuding from everyone, Xiao Zhuoran would have been able to return to the human territory for the two of them.

What surprised Xiao Zhuoran was that they actually found an inn in this place.

of course.

An inn is actually a place that rents out temporary caves and provides some services such as alcohol and beverages, and the fees are extremely expensive.

After hearing the price, Xiao Zhuoran was secretly shocked.

The demon clan also uses spirit stones as currency. For such a cave, the cheapest one costs more than 100,000 spirit stones per day. It is no wonder that only monsters above the Nascent Soul stage dare to come here.

The cost here is too high.

This inn requires more than 100,000 spirit stones a day, which ordinary Nascent Soul people cannot afford. More than 100,000 spirit stones can already be used to buy some relatively good magic weapons.

And this is just the cost of an inn; the cost in other places is higher.

The things sold here easily cost hundreds of thousands.

After Zhou You and Xiao Zhuoran randomly asked for an ordinary cave in the inn, Zhou You curiously asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, my brother and I have just entered Xutian City today. There are some things we are not clear about. Please give us some advice."

The shopkeeper was a bat demon in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, with a pair of shrewd eyes. He was very satisfied that Zhou You and Xiao Zhuoran paid the rent for several days readily, so he was quite friendly towards Zhou You.

"You can ask me anything you want, I will tell you everything I know."

The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Zhou You said: "I see that many fellow Taoists go to the Ice and Snow Temple. Is this Ice and Snow Temple also open to the public on weekdays?"

The shopkeeper laughed loudly after hearing this: "Actually, this is not the case. The Ice and Snow Temple is not open to the public on weekdays. The reason why other Taoist friends went there today is because today is the day when the princess registers for marriage."

Zhou You was stunned for a moment, with a face full of surprise: "Register for marriage? Which princess is it?"

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "There is no other princess in Xutian City. This princess is naturally the beloved daughter of the Devouring Demon Emperor, Princess Qianqian."

Zhou You and Xiao Zhuoran looked at each other.

The purpose of their coming here is to find Princess Qianqian.

I didn't expect that I would run into Princess Qianqian's marriage proposal just after arriving in Xutian City?
This is somewhat unexpected.

Zhou You said: "Princess Qianqian is worth a lot of money, why would she marry an ordinary monster?"

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "You don't know something, but Princess Qianqian's requirements for recruiting a bride are not simple. They must either be young talents with true spirit bloodline, or outstanding people above the transformation stage. Ordinary monsters are even qualified to sign up." nothing."

Zhou You suddenly realized that this was the case.

It is reasonable that one must have true spirit bloodline or be an outstanding person above the transformation stage to be eligible to sign up.

I don’t know what form this marriage recruitment will take.

Zhou You became curious and decided to take a look.

So Zhou You asked some simple questions, went to see the cave, and then left the inn with Xiao Zhuoran and went to the Ice and Snow Temple.

As we walked towards the temple, we could clearly feel the temperature starting to drop. Large patches of snow covered the area around the temple.

Many monsters flew into the Ice and Snow Temple. Countless red lights were rushing across the sky. Almost all the monsters in these red lights were above the Nascent Soul stage, and not a single one was seen in the Core Formation stage.

Most of them are monsters in the God Transformation Stage.

Every monster has transformed. They dare not enter the Ice and Snow Temple in monster form. According to the innkeeper, Princess Qianqian is very concerned about her appearance. If they were to register in their original form, most of the monsters would probably not even be eligible to register.

Therefore, the closer you get inside, the more it feels like entering human territory.

Even the guards of the temple have been transformed into humans.

It can be seen that those guards are basically in the Jindan stage, and there are very few in the Yuanying stage.

It just so happens that these guards have also completely transformed into humans.

This must have been the work of the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor. From this, we can see how high the requirements of the Ice and Snow Temple are regarding appearance. The requirements are so strict that even the guards have to transform.

“You know what, the requirements of this Sky Devouring Demon Emperor are quite high. If you don’t know, you might think you have entered the human race’s market.”

Xiao Zhuoran said.

Zhou You said: "I'm afraid this is not the request of the Devouring Demon Emperor, but the request of Princess Qianqian."

Xiao Zhuoran couldn't help but nodded, and agreed with Zhou You's speculation.

The two soon arrived at a huge square in front of the Ice and Snow Temple.

There are already thousands of monsters transformed into human form in the square.

These monsters are at least in the Nascent Soul stage, and the most numerous of them are in the Spirit Transformation stage, numbering thousands.

There are even several monsters in the Crossing Evil Stage.

It can be seen how terrifying this Zhongtian Realm is.

Whether in the Beiling Demon Clan or the Daqi Kingdom, the God Transformation Stage is the top combat force, especially in the Daqi Kingdom. In the past, it was a legendary existence, and even now there are only one or two people in the God Transformation Stage.

But in this Xutian City, there are thousands of divine beasts just coming to participate in the marriage proposal!
Not to mention the entire Xutian City. According to Zhou You's estimation, there should be tens of thousands of people in the God Transformation Stage.

And this is just Xutian City.

Xutian City is just the holy city of the Sky-Swallowing Ancient Python. In the entire Zhongtian Domain, there are no less than six or seven places like this!

If all were added together, the number of demon beasts in the Spiritualization Stage in the entire Ten Thousand Mountains... would probably be no less than a hundred thousand!
Xiao Zhuoran was also a little frightened when he saw the scene in front of him.

After all, he was surrounded by so many demon beasts in the God Transformation Stage.

If it were anyone else, their psychological defenses would probably collapse.

That is Xiao Zhuoran, who has been through many ups and downs with Zhou You, so he did not show any abnormality.

Xiao Zhuoran sent a voice message: "Wow, so many divine beasts, is this the Zhongtian Realm?"

Zhou You responded calmly, "This is the core area of ​​the demon race after all. It is the demon race's holy land. The most advanced cultivators of the demon race are all here. It is normal to have so many gods."

Xiao Zhuoran nodded.

Zhou You looked around and did not see Princess Qianqian here, but he saw a huge platform under the temple with a huge blue demon stone on it.

The stone emitted bursts of blue light, and there were two demon beasts in the Deliverance Stage guarding it.

From time to time, monsters would fly up to the platform and place their hands on the monster spirit stone. As the monster energy poured in, some information would appear on the monster spirit stone.

"Mysterious level middle-grade bloodline, unqualified, get out."

A demon beast in the Crossing Evil Stage waved his hand and let the testing demon beast go down.

As each monster stepped onto the testing platform and transferred their monster energy into the monster spirit stone, the bloodline levels of those monsters also emerged one by one.

The bloodlines of monsters are generally divided into four levels from high to low: heaven, earth, black and yellow. Each level is further divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. For example, true spirit bloodline, generally speaking, only bloodlines above the heaven grade can be true spirit bloodline.

Obviously, in order to successfully make the list of candidates for marriage, one must at least have heavenly bloodline.

"Do you want to try it too?"

Zhou You said to Xiao Zhuoran with a smile.

Xiao Zhuoran shook his head and said, "You also know my situation. My bloodline grade is not even up to standard."

There is nothing wrong with what he said.

Although Xiao Zhuoran had merged the blood of the Golden-winged Eagle and practiced the art of transforming into a demon, there was no way the blood of the Golden-winged Eagle could satisfy him.

What's more, who knows what kind of trouble will arise when Xiao Zhuoran goes to test it.

After all, he is just an ordinary human cultivator, not a real monster, and the monster aura is merely simulated by the monster transformation technique. It would be disastrous if the monster aura falls on the monster spirit stone and is exposed.

So Xiao Zhuoran didn't dare to try it.

However, Zhou You said, "Isn't there another track?"

There are two directions for the princess to find a husband.

One is to rely on bloodline to be shortlisted. As long as the bloodline is above the heavenly level, you can be directly shortlisted.

As for the second one, the bloodline requirements are not that high.

As long as you have reached the transformation stage or above, that is, the Nascent Soul stage, you can sign up for the auditions, and the auditions are very simple, Nascent Soul against Nascent Soul, God Transformation against God Transformation, it's the most realistic battle.

Only one person will be selected from each realm, and the final winner will be shortlisted.

In other words, one person each from the Nascent Soul stage, the Spirit Transformation stage, and the Deliverance stage will be taken, so in the end there will be only three people.

After all, this is a marriage proposal, not a talent show, so naturally there will be a process of elimination, and the better the shortlist, the better.

After being shortlisted, you will compete with those with heavenly bloodline.

As for how the competition will proceed and how Princess Qianqian will choose her husband, these have not been announced yet and we will only know after we are shortlisted.

And the audition track that Zhou You wanted Xiao Zhuoran to participate in was the second one.

After hearing what Zhou You said, Xiao Zhuoran couldn't help but look strange: "Do you really want me to sign up for the audition?"

Zhou You said: "This is our only chance to get in touch with Princess Qianqian, what do you think?"

Xiao Zhuoran asked: "Then do you want to participate?"

Zhou You raised his head and looked at the platform: "I'll go get my blood tested, maybe I can get in directly."

Xiao Zhuoran: "..."

In the end, Xiao Zhuoran had no choice but to go to the audition registration location, while Zhou You chose a time and flew to the platform.

Looking at the two demon beasts in the Crossing Evil Stage so close to him, Zhou You remained calm and his heart remained calm. The demonic energy on his body swept over and landed on the demon spirit stone.

Before the demon spirit stone changed, the two demon beasts in the Crossing Evil Stage suddenly looked at Zhou You, their eyes narrowed slightly, and they stood up the instant they were sitting. (End of this chapter)
