Chapter 178 - 178: Meeting the Quasi-Saint Realm Expert Again
“We are still tens of thousands of miles away from the imperial city of the Dashang Empire. Looks like we will not be able to make it today…”
Su Chen flashed out of the golden chariot, looking at the gradually darkening sky as he muttered to himself softly.
This world actually had teleportation formations.
Not only were there teleportation formations, but they could also teleport over extremely long distances.
However, the most ridiculous thing was that there was no teleportation formation between Dashang and Dachu.
Let alone the fact that Dashang and Darchu did not have a teleportation formation, the other powers rarely had teleportation formations between them.
The main reason was that no one could determine who would be teleported from the other side of the formation.
If they were ordinary people, that would be fine.
But what if a Saint Realm expert came through…
That would be a big problem!
Originally, wars between the two powers could only be pushed forward step-by-step starting from the borders.
But if the existence of teleportation formations allowed the enemy to directly airdrop into their heartland, things would become very troublesome.
For safety reasons, Teleportation Formations were usually used for personal travel or as a trump card to escape.
As for benefiting the common people?
Impossible!
It was absolutely impossible!
“Looks like I have to learn the Dao of Formations in the future.”
Su Chen thought to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped his palm and a jade slip appeared.
This jade slip contained some general knowledge of formations.
The content was not profound and was specially prepared for beginners.
Su Chen’s divine sense entered it and roughly scanned through.
Soon, he memorized a few very simple formations.
For example, the Spirit Gathering Formation, Sound Insulation Formation, and other simple formations.
At the same time, he tried to set up the formation, the golden chariot was also rapidly approaching the imperial city of Dashang.
Not long after, at the end of the world, a huge city was already in sight.
The Dachu Empire ruled over millions of miles of land, and their imperial city was not much inferior to the Dachu Empire’s Imperial Supreme City.
In fact, it was even better!
Looking from afar, it was as if an ancient celestial palace had descended into the mortal realm.
The majestic palaces and buildings stretched as far as the eye could see.
Countless soldiers dressed in armor patrolled the city walls.
“I’m finally here! After I get the high-grade Dao weapon, I’ll go to the ruins of the Little Thunderclap Temple and get the Nine Transformations Golden Body Art! As long as I successfully obtain these two things, this trip will be a complete victory!”
Su Chen muttered to himself.
His gaze landed on the south gate of the imperial city.
There were already many people waiting there quietly.
Almost at the same time, the group of people standing outside the imperial city of Dashang raised their heads to look at the sky.
The person standing at the front of the group had a pale face and no beard. His long golden hair fell over his shoulders, and his face seemed feminine.
The corners of his mouth curled into a smile that he thought was very gentle.
“The Great Mystery Holy Son is finally here. We’ve been waiting! 1 didn’t expect that Su Chen would actually dare to come. Isn’t he afraid of not being able to leave the imperial city?”
Someone beside him spoke coldly.
“You can’t just say that. The Great Mystery Sect behind Su Chen had already become the Great Mystery Sacred Sect half a year ago. With the support of a sacred sect, there’s no place in this world that he can’t go.”
The blonde eunuch said with a smile.
However, under his seemingly gentle smile was a chilling killing intent!
“I’ve heard that Marquis Champion has recently invited quite a number of young prodigies, and all of them have extraordinary backgrounds. His main goal is probably to deal with this Su Chen.”
Another young man spoke.
If a powerful cultivator were to attack Su Chen, then the saint from the Great Mystery Sacred Sect would have an excuse to attack.
However, if it was the younger generation of prodigies taking action, the implications would be different.
Whichever side’s saint made the first move represented that they could not afford to play this game!
“Not only that, I heard that many marquises are unhappy with Su Chen. After all, the reputation of Marquis Champion in Dashang is not insignificant.”
The blonde eunuch sneered.
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden ray of light dropped down from the sky.
It was a golden carriage, its entire body emitting a golden brilliance, like the emperor’s carriage when he traveled, sacred and majestic.
Through the outer curtains, one could vaguely see a young man in a purple robe sitting inside.
An aura at the Nirvana Realm also spread out. All who sensed this aura had drastic changes in their expressions.
Judging by this aura alone, Su Chen’s strength over the past half year had become even more unfathomable, seemingly even more terrifying than Marquis Champion!
For a moment, everyone was jolted awake. They did not follow the example of the border generals to rashly use their divine sense to probe Su Chen’s background.
After all, using divine sense to investigate another’s cultivation base was an extremely disrespectful act!
It was still acceptable for elders to examine their juniors, but very few of the same level dared to do so.
“Great Mystery Holy Son, we meet again!”
The blonde eunuch stepped forward, a smile on his face that he thought was very amiable.
“I haven’t seen you for half a year, but you’re still as elegant as ever!”
Su Chen replied indifferently.
He could sense the hostility from these people before him, so naturally he did not bother putting on a polite face.
“I’m here today on the orders of the Imperial Lord to welcome the Holy Son! The imperial family has already prepared accommodations for you. Please come with me.”
The blonde eunuch said with a smile.
“Please lead the way.”
Su Chen said indifferently.
He remained seated in the carriage, with no intention of getting out.
The blonde eunuch did not care about this and led the way for Su Chen.
“Rumble!”
The golden carriage entered the imperial city of Dashang through the wide city gates.
In the city, many people were instantly alarmed by this commotion.
In an instant, it was as if the slumbering city had awakened.
Pillars of smoke soared into the sky.
In the dark, countless gazes ignored spatial boundaries and landed on the golden carriage that had just entered.
An expert who had passed the ninth Nirvana Tribulation visiting Dashang was already very eye-catching.
Coupled with his reputation for defeating Marquis Champion and status as the Holy Son of Great Mystery Sacred Sect, it made him even more difficult to ignore.
“Eh, isn’t this Marquis Champion’s flying spiritual treasure? How did it end up in the hands of the Great Mystery Holy Son?”
“Hahaha, if Marquis Champion saw this, he would probably vomit blood.”
“With the Great Mystery Holy Son’s arrival today, I’m afraid it won’t be long before he starts another battle with Marquis Champion. I wonder who will emerge victorious this time?”
“It must be Su Chen!”
“If he can defeat Marquis Champion once, he can defeat him a second time!”
“You’re right. It’s rumored that Su Chen has passed the tenth heavenly tribulation and even snatched the spirit light from Marquis Champion. No one can tell how powerful he is.”
“In my opinion, that might not necessarily be so. I heard that some time ago when Marquis Champion entered the palace, the Emperor bestowed upon him many fine treasures.”
“There’s such a thing?”
“Of course!”
