From Covering the Sky, I Became a Transcendent

Chapter 10: Holy City of the Sun
The Ancient Sun Sect has endless palaces standing on a huge mountain range. These palaces are not very majestic, but rather too simple, with only a plain Taoist rhythm flowing through them.

But if there were someone who was well versed in the terrain here, they would definitely exclaim in amazement, because there was actually half a dragon vein buried under the ground here.

Dragon veins, practicing on them for a long time will benefit the body and may even increase certain potential. The mortal world even uses this to prolong their fortunes.

Although this place is not as good as those floating divine islands and giant cities, it is also a rare place for cultivation.

This is where the ancient sect provides accommodation for the young disciples from the Lunhai and Daogong realms. These disciples are all outer disciples.

The Ancient Sun Religion was founded by the Holy Emperor, and its core is naturally the Sun lineage, but they also recruit people from other families, teach them the scriptures of the saints and train them carefully. Those who are outstanding among them will be recruited as protectors of the religion, that is, inner disciples and guardians of the ancient religion.

If there really is a great person among the inner disciples who can become a king, he will be completely absorbed by the ancient sect.

How to absorb them? The answer is simple: granting you a surname and marrying you off to become a member of the Sun Royal Family.

Anyway, you have the foundation to suppress everything. After countless years, no matter how reluctant you are, you will have to become a member of the Sun lineage.

What's more, those who are unwilling are ultimately a minority. Most people are too late to express gratitude to the ancient religion. As mortals, they originally had no chance to practice cultivation in their entire lives, and it was the ancient religion that gave them the opportunity.

These gifted and physically gifted people, whether they were willing or not, eventually became part of the ancient religion's heritage.

The Ancient Sun Cult has been able to be passed down from ancient times to the present day. This method has played a very important role, constantly injecting new vitality into their clan and enabling them to produce many talented people.

In addition to the occasional reversion of bloodlines, the inheritance of the Sun Clan has never been cut off, and even a quasi-emperor can appear every tens of thousands of years!
Moreover, they have been passed down from ancient times and have sufficient divine fluid, which can seal these heritages as a guarantee for the development of the ancient religion.

Unfortunately, disaster struck later and he was targeted by the underworld. Faced with the huge gap in strength, he had no choice but to admit defeat.

If the underworld had any shame, it wouldn't be so shameless.

The Taiyin lineage used the same tactics, and was later killed by a servant. It is probably because all their powerful members were killed by the underworld, and they can no longer suppress those evil-minded people.

The Ancient Sun Sect treated these disciples quite well, giving them half of their dragon veins, and every few days there were elders with extraordinary skills who would teach them skills.

Precious cultivation resources are also distributed every month, which are all elixirs and herbs that are rare in the outside world.

Early in the morning of this day, a dozen young men arrived outside a palace early to prepare for morning lessons.

Their ages vary, the oldest is around 20 years old and the youngest is only five or six years old.

When all the monks of Zhatian gather together, conflicts are inevitable.

Look, there are two young men of fifteen or sixteen years old preparing to have a sparring match. The ancient religion has a rule that forbids fighting among the same disciples, but allows sparring in the ring.

The disciples next to them had no intention of stopping them, but were eager to watch the show. Both of them were cultivators at the Divine Bridge realm and were already capable of fighting.

At this moment, they were surprised to see two divine rainbows flying across the sky.

It's not surprising that they can fly. Everyone here can fly as long as they reach the Life Spring. However, according to the rules of the sect, ordinary disciples are not allowed to fly high in this section of the mountains.

"Who are these two elders?" someone expressed curiosity.

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy said uncertainly, "There seems to be a child among them. I wonder which elder's offspring he is."

"That's not right. What I saw was an old man." The monk from the other side of the river, who had a good relationship with him, retorted.

The two of them started arguing after a while, and the others looked at each other, as they couldn't see clearly.

...At the foot of the Sun Ancestral Temple Mountain, the Sun Holy City.

The city wall is majestic and continuous like the Great Wall. It is very grand and ancient. Having experienced the baptism of time, it is a super city with a history of more than two million years. It is the number one ancient city in Shenzhou.

It is rumored that before the Sun Saint Emperor became enlightened, he killed a great demon here, and then built the holy city on the demon's corpse to intimidate all demons in the world.

Most people believed that this rumor was false. After all, the Sun Saint Emperor was such a powerful figure, did he still need to intimidate the demon tribe?
Slander, this must be slander! The Ancient Sun Cult resolutely refused to acknowledge this rumor.

Regardless, this rumor was passed down from generation to generation, and the monsters all agreed with this statement.

The city is very prosperous, with numerous palaces and wide ancient streets. It has buildings such as the Gambling Stone Shop, the Immortal Building, the Fengyue Palace, etc. It has everything and is extremely luxurious, with mortals and monks mixed together.

In the city, people come and go, and half of them are cultivators. In such a place, no one dares to act rashly, because this is the largest city in Shenzhou, and there are countless important figures coming and going, including some powerful people, and there may even be kings of the way of beheading.

Almost no one dares to cause trouble here. In this ancient city, everyone is very "law-abiding".

There are many pedestrians on the wide roads, measuring the city with their footsteps.

This place is too big. Even if the cultivators from the Four Extreme Secret Realms try their best to fly, they cannot reach the end in a day and a night.

Si Chen looked around intently, and kept asking questions to the bodyguard beside him, as if he had entered the Grand View Garden.

The protector was the third elder of the ancient sect. He should know something. He was very respectful to Si Chen and basically answered every question.

"This is an inn, a place to rest."

He pointed to a vast palace with carved beams and painted rafters, just like the imperial palace in the mortal world.

"This is the Shi Mo Cult's gambling stone shop. It's quite large, but Your Highness should refrain from going to such places. After all, you are still young."

"This is the Wenxian Pavilion. The minimum cost of a banquet here is 100 kilograms of wine, and the most expensive one starts at 10,000 kilograms. Your Highness can host banquets for the saints of various major religions here in the future."

Then I saw a trace of bamboo and pleasant sounds. In the sky, a palace was floating, there was a strong aroma of wine, and a woman's beautiful singing came from the air...

"Ahem, this is a restaurant opened by Guanghan Palace. Your Highness is too young to drink."

Si Chen looked at the "restaurant" and couldn't help but sigh, hating himself for being powerless.

Wait, wait ten years, I will let you see the "Glory of the Holy Emperor"!
The third elder was very panicked, fearing that Si Chen would ask to go over and teach His Highness bad things, and he would be in big trouble after returning to the Ancient Sect.

This prince is of noble status. Not only is he the leader's son, but he has also revived the bloodline of his ancestors. He must not learn bad things.

Fortunately, Si Chen was very "sensible" and did not go to check it out, which made the third elder very relieved.

As for Si Chen's safety, the third elder was actually not worried.

This is the Holy City of the Sun, right next to the ancient sect's mountain gate. It is the place most deeply controlled by the ancient sect and has been operated for countless years. There are several intact great saint formations buried underground. Even if a saint comes here, he dare not cause trouble.

What's more, the old ancestor is watching from behind.

The scenery along the way was so dazzling that Si Chen was dazzled. Everything he saw was wonderful. Only today did he feel that he had really come to the world of cultivators.
