The Legend of the Great Saint: Start from the Sign-in at Mount Tai

Chapter 475 Breaking the Rules
In the boundless starry sky, there floats an indescribably magnificent city.

It stretches endlessly, seemingly eternal, with the city walls imbued with antiquity and the marks of time, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

A shower of starlight falls like a silver waterfall, giving it a magnificent appearance while also shrouding it in layers of mystery.

Even from a great distance, Lu Zhou and the others could hear the resounding cries of phoenixes that shook the stars, or the roars of savage beasts.

Following the sound, one could see a group of exceptionally brightly colored phoenixes, azure dragons with gleaming scales, and various celestial wolves, roc birds, and giant dragons, each occupying their own territory and gathering outside the majestic ancient city.

It is obvious that those mythical birds and beasts that appear to be extraordinary and remarkable are actually just mounts tamed by some outstanding individuals.

Because on their backs, there are figures standing or sitting, and they are the main characters. None of them are simple guys; they are all outstanding individuals from a certain place or a certain star system.

Everyone present glanced at the scene and immediately understood the situation.

Since the city gates were last closed, more than a hundred outstanding individuals have arrived outside this ancient city.

Some people's eyes flickered, and it was unclear what they were thinking.

Others had piercing eyes and an imposing presence, clearly indicating a domineering and powerful individual.

Some even showed apprehension in their eyes, as if they felt the pressure.

They were all observing others, secretly assessing the situation.

Having embarked on this path of trials, aside from a few with ulterior motives, it's no exaggeration to say that perhaps everyone else is a competitor.

This situation made the atmosphere at the scene somewhat oppressive.

Despite the oppressive atmosphere, some conversations could still be heard.

They were some of the earlier arrivals who had spoken with the soldiers guarding the city walls and learned some of the rules.

Others, for various reasons, already knew about the situation on this ancient road a long time ago.

Clearly, there were some novices present as well.

This included some of the people Lu Zhou and his group encountered in the stars.

As they walked toward the ancient city, they listened intently, trying to gather information.

From the discussions, they learned that the giant city before them was called the first pass of the ancient road of the human race, and no one was allowed to cause a great disturbance here.

If a major conflict were to break out, the soldiers guarding the city walls would forcefully strike to suppress and kill them.

Besides these, they also learned what a guide was, as well as other rules and regulations.
Everyone who comes here will receive a barrage of stares.

Lu Zhou and his group were no exception.

It could even be said that those gazes lingered on them for significantly longer than they lingered on others.

They were all extraordinary, especially Lu Zhou.

People often use terms like "banished immortal" to describe exceptional individuals, prodigies, and those who are truly outstanding.

They are the focus of the crowd, as bright as the sun. Even in a sea of ​​people, they shine brightly and can be spotted at a glance, making people notice their unique brilliance.

Lu Zhou, on the other hand, is clearly the most outstanding of all the immortals.

This has already been proven in the BeiDou system.

The Big Dipper is teeming with outstanding individuals and extraordinary talents. There are countless holy sons and imperial sons, far more than you can count on two hands. Its foundation is far beyond that of other life-generating lands.

Even under these circumstances, wherever Lu Zhou is, regardless of whether they possess a divine body, a holy body, or are descendants of an ancient emperor, they will all be suppressed by him.

In an instant, he became the most eye-catching and prominent figure in the crowd.

As Lu Zhou and his two companions and three beasts drew closer, it became clear that more and more eyes were being cast upon them, scrutinizing them.

There have even been some discussions about them.

I'd like to see if anyone knows where Lu Zhou and his group come from, and what their achievements are.

Lu Zhou and his group ignored all of this, remaining calm and composed without showing any emotion.

They have experienced countless such scenes of being in the spotlight and being discussed.

After scanning the crowd gathered at various locations, they prepared to find a place to wait quietly for the ancient gate to open.

Their attention was mostly focused on this magnificent city that had stood for countless millennia.

But at that moment, a powerful divine sense suddenly emanated from the ancient city ahead.

Its sound reverberated through the void, like a resounding bell, reaching the ears of everyone.

"Enter the customs!"

At that moment, whether it was some people waiting outside the city or some soldiers guarding the city wall, a look of astonishment or surprise unconsciously rose on their faces.

No other reason!
The oppressive atmosphere was broken, and a louder discussion erupted instantly, making the place much noisier in a moment.

"what happened?"

"Wasn't it said that the city gates of this pass only open once every six months to five years?"

"We still need a seed-level powerhouse to appear."

"Otherwise, we'll have to wait a full five years!"

“Some people had said that the city gates had been opened once three months ago, allowing the previous group of more than four hundred people to pass through.”

"how come?"

"How come the gates of the formidable pass have opened again after only three months?"

"Could something unexpected have happened?"

Everyone was curious, with a somewhat bewildered yet impressive look on their faces.

It's unclear why the rules were broken this time; it was only three months later that it was reopened.

This even includes Lu Zhou.

He was also somewhat surprised that the rules had been broken and the switch had been turned on ahead of schedule.

He had originally planned to follow the rules and wait for another three months outside the border.

Unexpectedly, this happened suddenly.

Kane and the Golden-Winged Roc King both looked at Lu Zhou with puzzled expressions.

On their way here, they had heard Lu Zhou talk about some of the rules for this first level.

They had also heard some people talking about it earlier.

Some of the situations they mentioned were similar to what Lu Zhou had told them.

Noticing that Kane and the others were looking at him, Lu Zhou shook his head, indicating that he was also somewhat surprised by the sudden breaking of the rules and didn't know what was going on.

Just as everyone was feeling somewhat surprised and taken aback, the incredibly heavy city gate of the pass creaked and groaned.

It was slowly opened.

At the same time, another figure suddenly appeared at the slowly opening city gate.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it.

It was an old man, his figure blurry and indistinct.

Everyone present could feel his terror; the place where he stood seemed unable to withstand his presence, and even the void itself distorted.

That's why his figure appeared somewhat blurry in the eyes of others.

"Who is he?"

This is the question that pops into everyone's mind.

Some people had a suspicion beginning to form in their minds, and their faces showed even more astonishment.

Sure enough, their guess was soon confirmed.

"Greetings, Your Excellency the Guide!"

A series of neat and resonant greetings rang out from the gate of the city.

It was a few guards at the city gate who were saluting the old man who had suddenly appeared.

It turned out that he was the city lord of this city, and also the guide to the first pass of this ancient human road.

The guide casually waved his hand, indicating to the soldiers behind him that they should dispense with the formalities.

Then, everyone present heard him speak.

"As you all know, I am the city lord and guide of this city!"

"In that case, I don't need to waste any more words."

“There are two things you need to know.”

"First"

"Secondly." Just like in the original story, he was a hands-off manager, the kind who didn't talk much.

The first and second points he mentioned now were the same two points he mentioned in the original work to those who had successfully reached this city.

It's simply telling everyone that not everyone can continue on their journey, urging them to seize the time, rest up, and adjust their condition so that they can enter a trial ground for testing and selection in a few days.

If you pass the level, you can continue your journey.

After that, there were rules like not allowing any major conflicts in the city.

Upon hearing him say this, some people immediately wanted to ask him for advice.

Before those people could speak, everyone saw that the guide was looking in the direction where Lu Zhou and the other two were.

At the same time, he took a few steps forward and made a welcoming gesture.

"Overlord Immortal, please enter the pass!"

These words slipped out of his mouth.

This scene caused an uproar.

In an instant, a series of gazes filled with various emotions were once again cast upon Lu Zhou and his companions.

More accurately, the vote was cast on Lu Zhou, who had always been in the very center of the three.

"Is the guide welcoming them?"

"I get it. Could it be that this time, the exception to open the gates early was all because of them?"

"The guide must have noticed them long ago, before they even arrived here!"

"Why?"

"What merit do they possess to warrant the arrival of the guide, who would break the rules, open the gates ahead of schedule, and personally greet them outside the city?"

"Who are they?"

"from where?"

"Overlord Immortal?"

"Is this his name? Or his title?"

"How dare he accept such a title, whether it be his name or his appellation?"

A murmur of discussion and astonishment arose, inevitably mixed with words of jealousy and glances filled with resentment or resentment.

This is what it means to have a thousand faces for a thousand people.

Listening to the discussions and observing the guide's actions, Lu Zhou began to understand what was going on.

There's absolutely no doubt about it; the rule about feelings being broken really is related to him.

Some descriptions from the original work flashed through his mind.

Thinking about it, that makes sense. In the original story, it's rumored that even the minor characters of the Thirteen Riders of the Desolate Land were noticed by the guide of the first trial.

Even some other people can be personally welcomed into the city by the city's envoys, let alone him.

Meanwhile, many people in Beidou embarked on this path many years before him.

Who knows, some things about him may have already been spread along this road.

That's probably why the guide in the first trial was able to recognize him so accurately and call him the Overlord Immortal!
These thoughts flashed through Lu Zhou's mind in an instant.

Then, everyone present saw the Holy Spirit Dragon beneath Lu Zhou's feet coil and carry Lu Zhou toward the Guide.

As soon as he moved, Kane and the Golden-Winged Roc King also rode their mounts, one step behind Lu Zhou, and followed closely behind.

They were making it clear that they were followers of Lu Zhou.

This scene once again made some people's eyes sparkle.

Their fear of the Overlord Immortal was even greater.

Because they had long ago discovered that Kane seemed to have already become a saint, and the Qilin beast he rode was a sacred beast.

Although the Golden-Winged Roc King had not yet become a saint, he still gave some geniuses with strong spiritual senses a very dangerous feeling.

They never expected that the powerful Kane and the Golden-Winged Roc King were actually followers of the person called the Overlord Immortal by the guide.

Even his followers are either saints or beings on the verge of breaking through to sainthood.

Just how powerful must that person, known as the Overlord Immortal, be?

'No wonder he caught the attention of the guide.'

These thoughts, in an instant, arose from the depths of some people's hearts.

Before long, Lu Zhou and his party arrived in front of the guide.

Lu Zhou smiled and bowed to the guide.

The guide returned the courtesy, not daring to be presumptuous in front of Lu Zhou.

Especially after he saw Lu Zhou with his own eyes and had close contact with him.

His attitude towards Lu Zhou was noticeably better.

As it turns out, the real him was not as aloof as depicted in the original work.

The reason he is aloof is simply because no one has appeared who can make him show his more approachable side.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they set off together into the ancient city, personally led by the guide.

Watching Lu Zhou and the others enter the city, a sigh of regret suddenly came from one of the people.

"I have read in some ancient books that there were legends that when some predecessors arrived at some of the most formidable passes on this road, they were so extraordinary and their achievements were so amazing that they were given special treatment by some guides."

"Some even have guides who will personally come out of the city to welcome them into the city."

"I originally thought these were just rumors!"

"I never imagined that I would witness this scene when I had only just arrived at the first checkpoint of the human race."

His sigh resonated with some of those present.

Some people's expressions had become even more unpleasant.

A sense of frustration and a feeling of being discriminated against rose from the bottom of their hearts.

Everyone is different. Some people are narrow-minded and therefore harbor resentment towards Lu Zhou and his group, including this guide.

Fortunately, they still had some sense and did not immediately act impulsively in a way that would bring them death.

They simply etched this scene firmly into their hearts.

Then, following behind Lu Zhou and the others, they prepared to enter the city to see what the legendary first pass of the ancient human road was like.

At this moment, Lu Zhou and his group had already arrived at the city gate.

His gaze swept over the soldiers guarding the city gate, focusing on the captain.

Lu Zhou remembered Guan Cheng.

He originally thought he would be able to meet Guan Cheng.

But they discovered that the goalkeeper captain in front of them was not Guan Cheng.

He remembered that the original novel described Guan Cheng as having a medium build, but the goalkeeper captain in front of him was clearly not like that.

He was slightly hunched over, and his age didn't match his appearance. He was severely depleted of energy and blood, so it seemed he didn't have many years left to live.

'Could it be that Guan Cheng took over his position as the city's gatekeeper captain because he passed away?'

Lu Zhou thought, "That must be it."

He calculated that he would arrive at the first pass of the ancient human road about twelve years earlier than Ye Fan in the original story.

If you calculate it this way, whether it's Di Tian, ​​the Great Demon God, Qing Shi, or even Ba Ti and Guan Cheng, they all arrived here a few years earlier than him.

Lu Zhou remembered that Di Tian and Qing Shi arrived at the second level of the ancient human road about 23 years earlier than Ye Fan in the original novel.

Ba Ti and Guan Cheng arrived at the second level of the ancient human road more than ten years ahead of Ye Fan.

It doesn't take much time at all to go from the first level to the second.

For those with the Overlord Body, even including the time they spend waiting outside the city, it would probably only take a little over half a year at most.

In other words, they are currently in a city some distance from Luzhou.

As for Guan Cheng, who would return to the First City to seek a sense of existence?

Lu Zhou shook his head, deciding to stop thinking about these meaningless things.

They stepped into the magnificent city.
