On the 60th birthday of the system, my son’s engagement was annulled!

China.

Eighteen hurricane birds burst forth from the sky above the border of the Divine Continent. Atop the eighteen hurricane birds stood a gigantic Blue Lightning Emperor Nether Dragon, upon which stood two people, a man and a woman, one in front and one behind.

Lin Xuan crossed his arms, with a blue-green robe draped over his shoulders.

"Shenzhou, we've arrived."

Looking at the familiar land of Shenzhou, Mu Lingji couldn't help but smile.

"Gentlemen, the land of Shenzhou is just ahead."

Xu Zilin looked at the scenery before him and was momentarily dazed. He had been away from the land of Shenzhou for a very long time, and today he had finally set foot on the land of Shenzhou once again.

"Is this the Divine Continent? Its concentration of vital energy is indeed far superior to that of my Eastern Continent."

Lan Zhantian floated in the air. He had only just entered the Divine Continent, but the density of the spiritual energy there was already almost catching up with the Heavenly Domain of their Eastern Continent.

"No wonder there are so many powerful figures in the Divine Continent. If we had those resources, we would probably be in a much better place now."

The Purple Emperor of the Divine Jade Palace couldn't help but sigh as he felt the primordial energy.

"The closer we get to the interior of Shenzhou, the more we can feel the concentration of this primordial energy gradually increasing."

Luo Ying nodded slightly; Shenzhou was indeed going to be different.

Lin Yetian remained silent throughout, as this place was both unfamiliar and familiar to him.

After all, Lin Yetian was born in Shenzhou, but that was tens of thousands of years ago. In the tens of thousands of years of development, Shenzhou has undergone earth-shattering changes and is no longer the Shenzhou land in Lin Yetian's memory.

"Xuanhuang, you promised me you'd come with me to the Hehuan Sect for some fun..."

Mu Lingji looked at Lin Xuan with a smile, her bright eyes sparkling.

Lin Xuan chuckled, then turned to look at Mu Lingji's expectant eyes and could only nod slightly.

"Of course. I said I would visit your Hehuan Sect, and I will not go back on my word. It's only a fourteen-day journey to Shenzhou. It would be good to visit your Hehuan Sect."

Lin Xuan glanced at the sky; it was getting late, and the full moon in the sky was already faintly visible.

The group of several hundred people continued their journey into the heart of the Divine Continent at an undiminished pace.

"Who dares to fly above our Di Kui Sect!"

Suddenly, more than a dozen figures blocked Lin Xuan and the others' path.

This left Lin Xuan and the others completely stunned.

Lin Xuan looked down and saw that there was indeed a large group of buildings directly below the procession. In terms of size and luxury, they were in no way inferior to the super powers of the Eastern Continent, such as the Divine Jade Palace.

Looking at the dozen or so people blocking the way, the three leaders were all powerful figures at the Throne Realm, and the others were all powerful figures at the Monarch Realm.

Clearly, this force located on the outskirts of the Divine Continent also has several experts at the Throne Realm.

Zi Huang and the others couldn't help but gasp when they saw the group blocking their way. Is this the Divine Continent? It's true that Dao Kings are as common as dogs, Monarchs are everywhere, and even the Throne Realm isn't considered a rare realm.

"We are still outsiders, so please forgive any offense we may have caused."

Although Qingfeng is now in a pseudo-immortal realm, he is currently on the mainland of Shenzhou and does not want to cause trouble.

"You're not from Shenzhou?"

The leading expert of the Earthly Sect, at the Throne Realm, narrowed his eyes and scanned Lin Xuan and the others. The leaders at the very front of this group were of such low cultivation levels that the Earthly Sect members couldn't discern their strengths, which was why they dared not make any rash moves.

"Yes, we come from the Eastern Continent and are not very familiar with the rules of the Divine Continent. We hope you will forgive us. This is a small compensation, nothing more."

Knowing he was in the wrong, Qingfeng smiled and casually flicked his wrist, sending a storage bag flying out. The bag contained a large handful of spirit stones.

When Di Kui Zong saw Qing Feng's smiling face, he didn't know what to do. After all, one shouldn't hit a smiling person, especially since Qing Feng had even taken the initiative to apologize to them.

When the members of the Earthly Sect saw the number of spirit stones in the storage bag, they were also shocked. They did not expect to have such a large quantity of spirit stones.

"Alright then, everyone. Now that you've come to the Divine Continent, you still need to be careful, especially since you're from the Eastern Continent. If you encounter a powerful figure you can't afford to offend, it could really cost you your lives. Be careful in everything you do."

After receiving Qingfeng's greeting, the leader of the Di Kui Sect began to speak in a softer, gentler tone.

He solemnly looked at Lin Xuan and the others and gave them his instructions, after all, he was bound to be swayed by their generosity and needed to put in some effort.

Lin Xuan smiled faintly upon hearing this, "Thank you all for your advice, we understand."

"You wouldn't happen to be here to participate in our Divine Continent's Thousand Pride Tournament, would you?"

The sect leader of the Earthly Sect looked at Lin Xuan, then at the group of young people standing on the backs of the eighteen Hurricane Birds, and easily made the connection to the Thousand Pride Tournament.

"Yes, that's right, we did come here specifically for the Thousand Pride Tournament."

Lin Xuan did not hide anything and openly stated his purpose.

"I see. It's getting late now. If you all don't mind, you're welcome to stay at my Kui Sect."

The sect leader of the Earthly Sect spoke with a smile.

Lin Xuan looked at the Earthly Sect, pondered for a moment, then smiled faintly and nodded: "Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony. Thank you for your hospitality, Earthly Sect Master."

"Haha, no need for that. Just call me Chen Feng. Our Di Kui Sect also likes to make friends all over the world. You all have come from the Eastern Continent, so you must have some strategy and courage. Come, everyone, please!"

Chen Feng, the sect leader of the Di Kui Sect, smiled and gestured.

"Yes, please."

Lin Xuan nodded in response with a smile.

Lin Yetian and the others led several hundred people towards the Earthly Sect.

At this moment, several powerful experts at the Throne Realm around Chen Feng felt something was amiss.

"Sect Master, isn't it somewhat inappropriate to allow these people of unknown identity to be guests of our sect?"

"That's right, Sect Master. If they want to do something, wouldn't we be in a very passive position?"

The two elders at the Throne Realm immediately spoke up.

Chen Feng simply smiled faintly and said, "Hehe, I naturally have my own considerations. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Lin Xuan and his group followed Chen Feng into the Earthly Kui Sect.

Once you enter the Di Kui Sect, the scenery changes completely.

The sect's foundation was very large, and it was filled with tall buildings. Chen Feng immediately set aside a piece of land for Lin Xuan and several hundred others to move into.

"Alright, everyone must be tired from the journey. Let's all find our rooms and rest."

Lin Xuan looked at everyone and spoke.

Several hundred people dispersed to find their own rooms.

Luo Ying and Lin Yetian were responsible for guarding the area, aiming to eliminate any danger on Mars. "Fellow Daoist..."

"Just call me Lin Xuan. This is Qingfeng, and this is Lan Zhantian."

Lin Xuan immediately gave Chen Feng a brief introduction.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, Fellow Daoist Qingfeng, Fellow Daoist Lan, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Chen Feng immediately smiled and bowed to the three of them.

"Nice to meet you."

Lin Xuan and the other two returned the greeting to Chen Feng with clasped hands. Although they were all powerful beings at the Pseudo-Immortal Realm, they did not show any disrespect to Chen Feng.

"Judging from what you three fellow Daoists are saying, you've come all the way from the Eastern Continent to my Divine Continent specifically to participate in the Thousand Pride Conference?"

Chen Feng confirmed for the second time.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly.

"That's right, we did come all the way from the Eastern Continent, and our purpose is naturally the Thousand Pride Tournament."

"The Thousand Pride Tournament is a grand event on our Divine Continent. Every time it is held, it is packed with people, and every tournament is incredibly exciting."

Chen Feng spoke with a smile on his face when he talked about the Thousand Pride Tournament, and there was a hint of pride in his voice as he spoke.

"Judging from this, your clan also participated in the Thousand Pride Tournament?"

Qingfeng immediately followed up on Chen Feng's words, preventing Chen Feng from uttering anything irrelevant.

"Hehe, that's for sure. To be honest, although our Di Kui Sect is only a second-rate power in the Divine Continent, we are destined to make a name for ourselves this time!"

Chen Feng's arrogance intensified, and before Lin Xuan and the others could ask why, Chen Feng immediately continued:
"Our Earthly Sect has produced a prodigy who's made it onto the Thousand Pride Ranking this time, hahaha~"

When Chen Feng, the sect leader of the Di Kui Sect, said this, he laughed heartily and became even more proud.

Lin Xuan, Lan Zhantian, and Qingfeng exchanged a smile upon hearing this, then burst into laughter.

"Congratulations, Sect Leader Chen! Your sect now boasts a prodigy on the Thousand Talents Ranking."

"Sect Master Chen, your Earthly Kui Sect is only a second-rate power even in the Divine Continent?"

Lan Zhantian was slightly surprised. A sect with several experts at the Throne Realm was only a second-rate force. In the Eastern Continent, this would definitely be considered a super force.

"The powers of our Divine Continent are as numerous as the stars in the sky."

Chen Feng sighed, his expression showing a hint of helplessness.

"The distribution of Shenzhou is divided into nine rings from the outer perimeter to the inner perimeter, which means the area is divided by nine lines. We are currently only on the edge of the sixth ring, and we are only a second-tier power in Shenzhou."

Lan Zhantian and Lin Xuan were both slightly curious, not expecting that the layout of Shenzhou was completely different from that of Dongzhou.

Qingfeng had visited Shenzhou years ago and was naturally very familiar with its layout.

"You second-rate forces are only able to stay on the edge of the sixth ring? That's too outrageous!"

Lan Zhantian was still somewhat shocked that a second-rate force could only operate on the outskirts of the Divine Continent.

Chen Feng was already used to all of this, and simply smiled and shook his head in response to the shock of outsiders.

"This is quite normal. Our Di Kui Sect is only considered average among second-rate forces. More powerful second-rate forces can reach the fifth or even fourth ring. As for the top three rings, they are not places that forces like ours can enter. At least forces with a pseudo-immortal realm in charge are qualified to move in."

Lin Xuan listened to these words with amazement. As expected of the Divine Continent, it was indeed completely different from the Eastern Continent.

"This localized distribution is mainly related to the concentration of primordial energy in the Divine Continent. The closer to the center of the Divine Continent, the higher the concentration of primordial energy. Especially for power like Immortal Source, one needs to enter at least the third ring to truly feel it."

Qingfeng immediately followed up on Chen Feng's words and explained to Lin Xuan and Lan Zhantian.

Chen Feng glanced at Qingfeng with interest; this outsider actually knew the layout of Shenzhou.

"This fellow Daoist must have visited my Divine Continent before."

Qingfeng smiled and nodded upon hearing this.

"I was fortunate enough to visit the Second Ring Road of Shenzhou once. The concentration of vital energy in the Second Ring Road is extremely high, at least 99%.

"Sir, you've actually been to the Second Ring Road?!"

Chen Feng looked at Qingfeng with some surprise, and the elders beside him were also somewhat shocked.

Lin Xuan and Lan Zhantian were somewhat puzzled by the shock of the others.

Chen Feng immediately spoke up:

"To enter the area within the Third Ring, one needs a pass from the Divine Continent Alliance. Without a pass, cultivators outside the Third Ring are prohibited from smuggling themselves in. If discovered, the punishment ranges from whipping to having an arm severed!"

Chen Feng's words once again opened the eyes of Lin Xuan and Lan Zhantian; they never expected such a thing to exist.

On the Eastern Continent, the Holy Spirit Realm was naturally the place with the highest concentration of primordial energy. However, the Holy Race did not prohibit cultivators from going to the Holy Spirit Realm, and they could freely enter and exit it.

Seeing the two looking puzzled, Qingfeng immediately smiled and explained:

"Hehe, Lin Xuan, Zhan Tian, ​​you are unaware of this. There is immortal source power in the area within the Third Ring, but this power is very limited. In order to prevent everyone from using it, the Divine Continent Alliance issued such a regulation. To put it bluntly, it is actually to protect the interests of those strong individuals."

“That’s right! That’s exactly it!” Chen Feng stood up, slightly excited. “In this way, the powerful forces will naturally become stronger, while those of us who are slightly weaker will become even weaker, and their rule and foundation will become even more secure!”

Chen Feng sounded somewhat angry when he talked about this, but more than that, he felt helpless, since they had no choice.

The Divine Continent Alliance is an organization jointly founded by the six ancient clans and eighteen super powers of the Divine Continent. No one in the entire Divine Continent dares to disobey their will.

"I see. It seems they have privatized the vital energy resources."

Lin Xuan's behavior was not hard to understand.

Immortal essence is scarce and rare to begin with. With so many people trying to absorb it, there's not much left to use, so naturally, some restrictions need to be imposed.

In a world where the strong prey on the weak, their choice is naturally to let the weak go out and enjoy the resources exclusively.

"Sir, you've been to the Second Ring Road before?"

Chen Feng looked at Qingfeng again, and his tone became much more polite.

That area within the Second Ring Road isn't a place you can just go to whenever you want; it requires very strict conditions.

Those who are invited generally have a certain status and position; at least Chen Feng, the sect leader of the Di Kui Sect, has never been to the Second Ring Road.

"Hehe, that was a long time ago. I came with our guild leader. We went to the Nine Cauldrons Sect in the Second Ring Road. It was pretty good and really memorable."

Qingfeng said with a smile.

Lin Xuan and the others couldn't help but smile upon hearing this. The president of Bai Xiaosheng was a true immortal; going to the Second Ring Road was naturally a trivial matter for him.
