The Twelve Ancestral Witches, Splitting the Weird Plateau with an Axe

Chapter 44: First visit to the Holy City
All the way north.

Li Qingxu flew for more than ten days, and he didn't know how many tens of thousands of miles he had traveled, but he finally approached the holy city in the Northern Territory.

The Holy City of the Northern Territory is the absolute center. In this red land, it is as famous as the Taichu Ancient Mine. The residents of the Northern Territory regard it as a sacred place.

As late autumn arrives, the weather has become very cold. Occasionally, one or two dead leaves still stubbornly hang on the bare branches.

The oasis where the Holy City is located is extremely vast, with a radius of tens of thousands of miles and many towns. Compared to other states, the Holy State is the calmest.

No matter how daring the bandits are, they dare not come to this oasis to plunder, because all major forces have stationed troops in this state.

The road leading to the holy city is very wide, and more than a dozen carriages can run side by side without any problem. In addition to the residents of the Northern Territory, monks can be seen flying through the sky from time to time.

At this moment, Li Qingxu was less than six hundred miles away from the Holy City.

On both sides of the road are towering mountains and broken cliffs, all of which are majestic and imposing.

This bluestone road looks like it was carved out by someone splitting mountains and cutting cliffs.

When they were less than two hundred miles away from the holy city, there were obviously a lot more pedestrians on the road, and strange beasts were galloping like the wind and lightning. Most of them were monks.

Suddenly, there was a sound like muffled thunder, and dozens of riders and horses rushed over like a tide.

I have to say that these people are very arrogant. They ride like beasts, stepping in mid-air, only a few meters above the ground, and move along the road.

The wild beast roared, and a strong wind whistled past, causing many people to glare at him angrily.

One can clearly see the hooves of dragons and horses and the claws of leopards trampling through the void several meters above one's head.

The man in the air rode his beast and galloped, without caring about the feelings of the people on the road. He rushed towards the holy city and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ordinary people would never dare to do this, because the vast majority of people going to the holy city are monks, and this would easily offend people.

“Is this a disciple from the ancient family? How arrogant! He actually steps on our heads and moves forward.”

"Forget it, just say less. If they hear you, they might come after you and cause trouble, which would be disastrous."

"I feel like they are from the Beiyuan Golden Family. They may not have done it unintentionally. Maybe they have something urgent to do."

"A powerful descendant of the Golden Family offended a young master of the Heavenly Demon Palace. The two sides fought a battle and both sides suffered losses. They were probably on their way because of this matter."

This city gathers the world's influence, including the royal family of Zhongzhou, the Golden Family of Beiyuan, and even the great powers of Nanling, as well as the holy places of the Eastern Wasteland.

Not long after, Li Qingxu finally approached the first city in the Northern Territory.

This is a pure land. Outside the holy city, there is a 150-mile radius of lush greenery, and you cannot feel the changes of the seasons.

Although it is late autumn, it is green here and there is not a bit of chill.

Like a spring day, the warm breeze blows on your face, the grass and trees are lush, and the spiritual springs are gurgling.

The aura is extremely rich, many times higher than other places.

The ancient trees are towering, hundreds of meters high, like small hills, with branches stretching towards the sky. The ancient vines are like coiled dragons climbing all over the cliffs.

"It's already late autumn, why is it still so full of life?"

"The Holy City has existed since ancient times, and it has influenced the environment of the region."

Half a quarter of an hour later, Li Qingxu finally saw the legendary holy city.

The ancient city is extremely majestic. The city wall is like a lying dragon, continuous, as if it were cast from copper water, shining with a metallic luster.

The magnificent city gate tower is hundreds of meters high, majestic and extremely majestic. Looking from a distance, the huge ancient city gives people a sense of suffocation and oppression.

This is the center of the storm in the Northern Territory.

Since ancient times, there have been many legends about the Holy City. After consulting various classics, people will be surprised to find that it is really too ancient.

It is impossible to trace back to its exact origin. Since written records began, the city has never changed its location, and it is unknown how many years it has existed.

According to legend, it was suspended in the air countless years ago, but it sank to the earth in the ancient times.

The city is very prosperous, with everything it needs, and it is extremely luxurious, with mortals and monks mixed together.

In the city, people come and go, half of them are monks. In such a place, no one dares to be reckless, as they might accidentally bump into a descendant of an ancient family. If they are even more unlucky, they might step directly on the foot of a supreme elder of the holy land. These things are not impossible to happen, because there are many such people in the holy city.

Li Qingxu strolled in the holy city, and from time to time he felt the land beneath his feet through the power of the laws of Hou Tu, the ancestor of witches.

He discovered that the city was densely covered with a large number of various array patterns, some of which operated autonomously, tirelessly absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and integrating it into the city.

The essence of heaven and earth contained in the entire holy city can be said to be endless!
Some array patterns were so obscure that it was difficult for him to comprehend the divine meaning behind them.

Faintly, wisps of the essence of heaven and earth surged into it, exuding a sense of supreme power.

Obviously, these are the formation patterns of the great emperor!
If he could absorb the vast amount of essence of heaven and earth contained in the holy city, he could be sure that he could take the true body of Hou Tu, the ancestor of witches, to a higher level.

Unfortunately, these array patterns are interconnected and connected to the emperor's array pattern.

If he wants to absorb it, he will definitely activate the Emperor's formation pattern.

However, there are still some incomplete array patterns in the holy city. Although the essence of heaven and earth contained in them is very little, it can be absorbed!

A trace of extremely thin essence of heaven and earth flowed into Li Qingxu's body through his feet.

This is energy that is purer than the Pure Source, but it is not as effective as the Divine Source, probably because it is too thin.

Li Qingxu walked and stopped from time to time, avoiding places that would trigger imperial-level formations.

However, his strange behavior did not attract the attention of passers-by around him.

After all, many monks who enter the holy city for the first time will do this, walking around the city and sightseeing.

"Hey, this is it?"

In front of Li Qingxu was a palace with magnificent gardens, towering buildings and golden splendor.

"What is this place?"

"This is a gambling stone shop. It's too small. I suggest you go to those gambling stone shops in holy places."

A kind-hearted monk nearby responded.

"A small gambling stone shop?"

Li Qingxu thought for a moment and walked in. He wanted to try whether Hou Tu, the ancestor of witches, could sense what was hidden in the source stone.

However, less than half an hour later, he came out again.

I can only say that it is worthy of being a small workshop, the price offered is really fierce.

The most valuable source stone inside only contained three pure source grains, but they dared to sell it for forty kilograms of source!

This is a pure trap for newbies!
However, it also allowed Li Qingxu to confirm one thing. Through Hou Tu, the ancestor of witches, he could really know whether there were any items hidden in the source stone!

He even compared it with the source technique recorded in the Source Book of Heaven.

The result is that one is to see if there are any precious treasures in the Originium, and the other is for the Originium to tell you itself whether there are any!
There is a huge difference between the two!
No one flies in the city. Even the monks strictly abide by the city rules. On the bustling streets, people are coming and going, shoulder to shoulder.

Li Qingxu walked along the formation pattern underground, absorbing a bit of the essence of heaven and earth from time to time.

When turning a corner, there was a big lake in front of us. The water was crystal blue, like a huge sapphire embedded in the ground.

The flow of people is surging, many people are walking on the river bank, the willows are swaying, and the warm breeze is blowing.

In the lake, there are many dragon boats and phoenix pavilions parked, and the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard melodiously.

Around Li Qingxu, there were many young people watching on the shore.

Deep in the lake, the sky was shrouded in mist, and there were many large ships floating, as well as some palaces and pavilions.

Suddenly, a jade boat pierced the sky and came over the great lake, surrounded by clouds and mist, and dots of colorful clouds flickered, ethereal and holy.

The wonderful music is intoxicating, just like the music from heaven, stirring people's minds and cleansing their souls.

"The descendant of Miao Yuan is here!"
