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

Chapter 476 Sign-in: First Trial of the Human Race's Ancient Road

The ancient city, weathered and worn, exudes a sense of antiquity and carries the breath of time.
Traces of weapons such as swords, spears, and halberds remain on the city wall.

All of these things seem to be telling everyone who arrives here about the city's rich history.

Lu Zhou and the others stepped through the wide doorway at a leisurely pace, and immediately a completely different scene unfolded before them.

Although this ancient city floats among the stars, it is shrouded in a mysterious array. Inside the city is another world, full of vitality and bustle, and the environment is extremely suitable for living beings to live in.

Wide streets, lush ancient trees, and all sorts of restaurants, inns, medicine shops, and weapon shops, etc.
They stand side by side in the ancient city.

The streets were teeming with people, shoulder to shoulder, with vendors' cries rising and falling in waves!
They are the descendants of some outstanding individuals who embarked on the path of trials in previous generations, only to ultimately fail on it.

Such people can be found in every city along this path of trial.

The Trial Path cycles once every ten thousand years. This path is filled with hardships and tragedies, and with passion and battles.

How many great emperors have there been throughout history?
Obviously, not everyone can make it to the end.

Throughout history, many outstanding individuals have embarked on this path, only to fall along the way.

Some of them became the blood and bones beneath the feet of other supreme beings, paving the way for others to reach even greater heights.

Some, having come to terms with reality and feeling disheartened, either returned to their old haunts or settled in a city along this route, spreading their lineage and traditions.

Before long, the hustle and bustle of the city was broken.

It was because of the arrival of Lu Zhou and the others.

The city's residents all dispersed to both sides of the street, scrutinizing Lu Zhou and his companions who had entered the city with varying expressions.

A look of surprise appeared on their faces.

They were clearly surprised that only three months had passed before outsiders had entered the city again.

Many eyes were once again drawn to Lu Zhou, who was walking alongside the guide at the very front of the crowd.

He was calm and composed, with a warm smile on his face that was as gentle as the sun, making people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

Talking voices rose from both sides of the street, all asking, "Who is Lu Zhou? How can he walk side by side with the Guide?"

News always spreads rapidly.

The facts have already proven that the abilities of the "Covering the Sky" passerby party should never be underestimated.

Before long, even more heated discussions arose throughout the city.

On this day, the words "Overlord Immortal" and the news that the guide had broken the rules and personally welcomed the Overlord Immortal into the pass quickly spread throughout the first pass of the human race.

Not only is it the first barrier for the human race, but as time goes by, it is also spreading rapidly along the ancient road behind them at an astonishing speed.

This was the first time that many beings on this path had ever heard of the person Ba Xian.

This caused quite a stir.

Most people were shocked that someone would dare to accept those two words.

Some people scoffed at this, their eyes flashing with cold light, already preparing to test the might of the Overlord Immortal and see what made him so daring to accept this title so openly.

Such people are by no means few.

Those who embark on this path are all outstanding individuals in their respective hometowns, hailed as dragons and phoenixes among men, and have broken more than one record left by their predecessors.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have the courage or the qualifications to embark on this path to fight and hone their skills.

Such people are often arrogant and proud, unwilling to submit to anyone, believing themselves to be superior to others.

Now, news came from behind that someone dared to accept the title of "Overlord Immortal" as his own, and even the guide of the first level broke the rules for him and personally went out of the city to welcome him into the city.
This immediately stirred up the nerves of those who entered the city with Lu Zhou and many seed-level trial participants ahead of him.

This has piqued the interest of many people in Lu Zhou, who want to see if he is truly awesome or just pretending.
It's not hard to imagine that few people would obtain the extremely precious Divine Light Platform otherwise.

Who knows, some of the guys on the way ahead might have already turned back to the first level to see if that overlord is just all talk and no action.

"I wonder how this person who dares to call himself the Overlord Immortal compares to the Immortal Maiden, Emperor Tian, ​​and the Great Demon God?"

The banished fairy was Qing Shi.

Lu Zhou was sharp-eared and sharp-eyed. As he walked through the city, he heard some of the locals comparing him to Di Tian and the others.

It wasn't just people in the First City who were talking about it; in the following period, when the news reached the ancient pass in the rear, many people who stayed there had similar discussions.

Some people say...

"They probably can't compare to God and the banished fairy!"

"Although some people call Di Tian a gigolo and suspect him of living off women, it must be said that Di Tian has really achieved remarkable results over the years!"

"As for the banished fairy, needless to say."

"I remember eleven years ago, the Fairy Maiden's single melody caused four saints to attain enlightenment. Such a terrifying feat is unparalleled throughout history!"

"As a result, she has always been recognized as the strongest among her group."

"Not to mention, eleven years have passed now. Given the extraordinary talent of the Fairy Maiden and the others, it's hard to say how powerful they have become now."

Some speculate that Ba Xian is definitely not as good as Zhe Xian Zi and Di Tian.

In the second human realm, there are also people, for reasons unknown, perhaps they are fans or followers of certain individuals, or perhaps for some other reason.

In short, they seemed to dislike this person who dared to call himself a powerful immortal.

Then, from among the crowd discussing inside the restaurant, a disdainful snort and sneer rang out.

"Humph!"

"Let alone the Fairy Maiden and Emperor Tian!"

"Don't forget the man who entered this city alone on horseback a few years ago!"

"I think that the one called the Overlord Immortal is probably no match for that person!"

His words instantly conjured up a certain image in the minds of many people in the restaurant.

"You mean him?"

"Overlord!"

Some people gasped in surprise, while others turned pale!
Some onlookers even laughed.

"Hey"

"Just a few years ago, a tyrant emerged, sweeping all before him without equal. Now, another 'immortal tyrant' has appeared."

"Interesting. Very interesting!"

"I'd like to see which of these two 'tyrants' is the real tyrant."

"Who wants to bet with me?"

"I bet on their future; they'll definitely have a showdown soon!"

Nobody actually made a bet with this guy.

They're not idiots.

Putting aside everything else, just based on the conflicting titles of Overlord and Immortal Overlord, and the domineering and forceful style that Overlord left behind as he fought his way through the world, he truly stands out.

This would convince everyone that the Overlord and the Immortal Overlord would inevitably clash in the future.

They believe that there will definitely be one overlord who falls at the feet of another, to declare to the world who truly deserves the title of overlord.

Many people firmly believe that Bawang will win.

Because many people now know that the Overlord possesses an invincible body.

This is a powerful physique capable of rivaling the Holy Body, and it has left behind too many astonishing feats that have shocked the world on this ancient path.

No one noticed that in a corner of the restaurant, a man living a life of debauchery and exuding a decadent air had a particularly interesting expression on his face when he heard the words "Overlord".

There was anger, jealousy, and murderous intent. But more than anything, there was fear and helplessness.
His name was Guan Cheng. He was once ridden by the Overlord and pierced through by a spear, shattering his Daoist heart.

Even though two or three years have passed since this incident, he is still haunted by the shadow cast by the tyrant!

Not long after, Guan Cheng staggered away from the restaurant, looking drunk and dejected.

Nobody knows where he's going next.

No one will care about a loser who falls on the road.

Because there are far too many people like this on this path.

The first city on the ancient road of the human race.

Lu Zhou didn't pay much attention to those discussions.

I just laughed it off.

Some people he no longer cares about.

Not long after entering the city, the guide parted ways with Lu Zhou.

As the guide of the ancient city of Gulu, he should always have a sense of proportion.

After parting ways, Lu Zhou glanced at his system panel.

Sure enough, the conditions for him to sign in were met here.

Immediately, Lu Zhou silently signed in.

[Ding! Host has checked in at the first level of the Ancient Road of Humanity. Host has obtained a Divine Light Platform, which has been stored in Host's Chaos Pearl!]

Hey!
Lu Zhou didn't expect that he would be able to sign in at the Divine Light Platform when he arrived at the first level.

He devoted some time to studying it and figured out how to use the Divine Light Platform, then stopped paying attention to it.

Afterwards, he led Kane and the others on a tour of the ancient city, chatting and laughing all the way.

Like tourists, they hired a local guide to experience the local customs and culture of this ancient city.

Lu Zhou, whose foodie nature was on full display, led Kane and the others on a journey to sample all the city's unique delicacies.

Many of the dishes were praised by Lu Zhou.

He plans to bring Xu Qiong and the others here to try it later.

Sometimes, when the mood struck them, if Lu Zhou heard something interesting, they would sit on the street and chat with some of the city's elderly residents, listening to their guide and the city's elders tell them about the city's history or legends.

It's really hard to connect them with the other trial participants.

The other trial participants, after entering the city, mostly had solemn expressions and were making some preparations.

For example, try to find out about the people in your batch through various channels.

Or perhaps they were tricked by some locals into buying trial guides or similar items to prepare for the upcoming trial selection.

Among the group of trainees, most of them were deeply wary of everything around them.

On the other hand, what about Lu Zhou and his group?
"They're probably here for tourism, right?"

Some people watched Lu Zhou and his group pass by and made such comments.

To everyone's surprise, the Golden-Winged Roc King responded with a smile.

"He really is here for tourism!"

The Golden-Winged Roc King seemed to have seriously considered this question, recalling everything they had done following Lu Zhou along the way.

He was certain that Lu Zhou was definitely here for tourism!
The reply was astonishing, and the surroundings fell silent for a moment.

Some people stared blankly at the departing figures of Lu Zhou and his group, lost in thought.

Soon, a few days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past few days, apart from some more trial participants arriving in the city, nothing else of note has happened.

At least on the surface, that's how it appears. No one dared to provoke Lu Zhou and his group.

But behind the scenes, some people, for various reasons such as jealousy, resentment, or feeling pressured, are preparing to eliminate a formidable rival on the road to the throne.
They secretly conspired to find an opportunity to kill Lu Zhou and his group during the trial.

Soon, the day arrived for them to enter the trial grounds for testing and selection.

A horn-like sound, seemingly from ancient times, resounded through the city, echoing across time and reaching the ears of everyone within its walls.

All the trial participants, including Lu Zhou and his group, immediately converged on the center of the plaza.

The guide reappeared.

He explained some things to everyone in a stern tone.

It's about the sound of the horn, and about all the trial participants, and the trial ground they are about to enter.

Everyone listened attentively.

Then, his city garrison commander, along with more than twenty soldiers and a total of 138 trial participants, embarked on the ancient starry road they had opened.

They were traversing the cosmos via this ancient star-crossing path when, after some time, someone exclaimed in surprise.

Because they saw a huge island appear in the starry sky ahead.

This is Fallen Saint Island.

Legend has it that it originated in the mythological era.

Of course, it is now incomplete.

It was later divided into fifty districts, seemingly in accordance with the number fifty in the Great Dao.

There are forty-nine districts, distributed on the periphery, which can be entered at the discretion of the visitors.

As for District 50, which is the core of Fallen Saint Island, it goes without saying that it is contained within the forty-nine districts located on the outermost perimeter.

The leader gave everyone a brief introduction to the island and also reiterated some warnings to them.

During this process, he had already landed on the island with everyone.

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

Xiao Pengwang spoke first.

How do we choose?

Lu Zhou smiled and said without even thinking.

"It is often said that the Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one is hidden!"

Some say, "One begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things."

"Now that I'm here, I'll start with the first area. Hopefully, I'll have enough time to explore all of them."

'Hiss~'

Lu Zhou was interrupted by a series of sneers from behind him before he could finish speaking.

They looked in the direction of the sound.

It was a group of people, men and women, each with an extraordinary bearing and a remarkable appearance.

They are truly extraordinary.

Because among them, some have already become saints, while the remaining dozen or so are all half-saints.

This is definitely a group with considerable strength.

Seeing that Lu Zhou and the other two were looking at them, those people didn't try to hide anything.

Some even laughed with a mocking expression on their faces.

"Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew when you talk big?"

"Not long ago, the commander said that there were boundary walls between these fifty regions, and anyone who broke through the boundary walls and crossed the region would be put in shackles weighing millions of pounds."

"A single heaviness can weigh over a million jin (500 kg), and if it's too heavy, the weight continues to accumulate."

"Hey, some people are called 'Overlord Immortal,' do they really think they're immortal? They even want to cross over from the first district to the final fiftieth district!"

"I wonder if any fellow Daoist could help me calculate how many tens of thousands of pounds of shackles I would be wearing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the people next to him laughed.

"Hahaha"

"Does this even need calculating!"

"It's just 49 pieces weighing over a million jin (2.5 million kg). Maybe they don't even care about those shackles."

The commotion they caused immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Some people had already chosen their areas and were ready to venture in for the trial.

I'm not in a hurry anymore.

It seems that the genes of the vast majority of people are full of the gene for watching the excitement and gossiping.

Everyone could see that someone was making trouble for Ba Xian and his group.

In the past few days, some well-informed people have heard that someone is secretly plotting to harm Ba Xian.

It seems these are the people who were secretly plotting this.

Someone's eyes flickered.

Some people were just there to watch the excitement.

Some people, after learning the whole story, also thought that Ba Xian was just bragging.

If he's not just bragging, then Ba Xian has lost his mind and is preparing to court death.

No other reason.

Because they believed that even if a powerful immortal was truly strong, it would be impossible for him to defeat someone of the same realm after being bound by shackles weighing millions of pounds.

Not to mention, when he fought against those of the same realm, the shackles he wore were probably not just one weighing over a million pounds.

If that's really the case, then isn't that just plain suicide?

The vast majority of people present thought so.

Everyone looked at Lu Zhou and his two companions with great interest, including the commander and the soldiers behind him.

In the past few days, the name of Ba Xian and the various discussions about him have been widely known to them.

Now, finally someone has jumped out to provoke Ba Xian.

They certainly didn't want to miss out on this excitement.

They were all eager to see what Ba Xian would say or do when provoked.
Is it just a war of words with the other party?
Then nothing came of it.
Or should we strike immediately and decisively, ruthlessly eliminating all the provocateurs?

With this expectation, everyone was waiting for Ba Xian's reaction.

Then, they waited in vain.

Because Lu Zhou and the other two only glanced at the two who jumped out to provoke them, and then ignored them as if they were air, completely disregarding their provocation.

Everyone saw that Ba Xian had spoken.

But he was addressing his two followers, continuing their previous conversation.

Everyone heard what Ba Xian said.

"As for you?"

"Just choose an area to go into based on your own feelings; you don't have to do the same as me."

"Just remember, you must go and see District 50. District 50 really has some very interesting things."

After hearing what Lu Zhou said, both Kane and Golden-Winged Roc King nodded.

Then, ignoring the stares directed at them, they rode their mounts toward their chosen areas.

Judging from his appearance, it seems that the Golden-Winged Roc King is preparing to choose the thirty-sixth district, which was chosen by Emperor Ye in the original work when he was at this level.

Kane, on the other hand, was preparing to enter District 49.

From beginning to end, they ignored the provocateurs, as if responding to them would be a waste of their time.

Some people even noticed that the way Lu Zhou and his group looked at the provocateurs at the end was like looking at a group of naughty children.

This situation is infuriating to those who are provoking us.

This blatant disregard, the expressions on the faces of the group of mischievous children, and the fleeting amusement on the faces of those around them upon witnessing the situation.
All of this made them feel that they had been greatly insulted.

They were all exceptional talents of their region, and from childhood to adulthood, they were surrounded by all sorts of accolades.

When have I ever been ignored like this before?
When have I ever suffered such an insult?
Some people were so angry that their eyes turned red and their noses were practically steaming.

As Lu Zhou and his group were about to enter their chosen areas, one of the provocateurs immediately pointed at Lu Zhou's back and shouted.

"What a domineering immortal!"

"Since you say you plan to start from District One and traverse all districts!"

"Well!"

"I'll be waiting for you in District 49!"

"Let's see how you traverse all the regions."

"If you've got the guts, come on!"

He exuded both murderous intent and holy might.

Anyone with eyes can see that he's preparing to enter District 49 to intercept Ba Xian!

Lu Zhou continued to ignore him.

Not only Lu Zhou, but Kane also ignored him once again.

Only the Golden-Winged Roc King paused slightly, glanced back at the person who spoke, and then shook his head and said.

"Isn't it good to live a good life?"

"My advice to you is to go somewhere cool and stay there!"

"Don't mess with us!"

After giving this advice, the Golden-Winged Roc King urged the Golden Roc beneath him to fly into the Thirty-Sixth District.

"hateful!"

"Do they really think they can sweep through the entire ancient road and disregard everyone else?!"

A burly man riding a giant, one-eyed dragon immediately roared.

"I refuse to believe they're truly invincible!"

Lu Zhou's continued disregard, along with the Golden-Winged Roc King's well-intentioned advice, completely ignited the anger of those who had provoked him.

In an instant, a large portion of the group, their faces filled with murderous intent, followed Kane and rushed into District 49.

Several people, including a saint, rushed into the thirty-sixth district that the Golden-Winged Roc King had entered, their eyes gleaming with ferocity.

What they wanted to do was obvious to everyone present, without needing to be said.

After they left, the remaining trial participants also rushed into those trial areas.

Many people who like to join in the fun chose to go to the vicinity of the areas selected by Golden-Winged Roc King and Kane.
