My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

Half a month passed in a flash.

For the past two weeks, the Jiang sisters have been experiencing a state of shock, like "country bumpkins entering the city."

They sat in a teahouse in the county town.

I witnessed firsthand how the waiter, in order to warm the wine, rubbed his fingers together, and a ball of crimson flame appeared.

I witnessed firsthand how a butcher selling meat on the street used a small amount of ice-based true energy to cool down the pork in order to keep it fresh.

What they found even more incredible was...

In the past two weeks, the concentration of spiritual energy in this area has been increasing at a visible rate every day!

It was as if the whole world was undergoing an incredible ascension and transformation!

"Have you heard? His Majesty has promulgated the general principles of the Immortal Forging Dynasty, and local governments are now distributing basic Qi cultivation manuals for free!"

"That's right! My little rascal just activated his internal energy yesterday, and he's strong enough to lift a cow!"

"Long live the Tang Dynasty! Long live the Emperor!"

Inside the teahouse, peddlers and laborers chatted animatedly, their faces beaming with unprecedented fervor and pride.

Beside the wooden table in the corner.

Jiang Liyue held the rough porcelain teacup, her hands trembling slightly.

"Sister, did you hear that? This... is the Tang Dynasty."

Jiang Liyue's eyes reddened, and her voice choked with emotion.

"He didn't lie to me, but he brought us here, but what about himself..."

The thought of Li Chen being swallowed by the raging void storm made Jiang Liyue's heart ache as if it were being cut by a knife.

"Don't cry, he's lucky, he must still be alive."

Jiang Qingxue gently patted her sister's hand, but her eyes were unusually serious.

"Liyue, have you noticed that the flow of our Golden Core True Essence has become increasingly strained these past few days?"

Jiang Liyue wiped away her tears and nodded silently.

"I can feel it."

"It's like... an invisible mountain hanging over my head, pressing down on my dantian."

Jiang Qingxue raised her head and looked out the teahouse window at the azure sky.

To ordinary people, the sky is still the sky.

However, within the spiritual senses of cultivators at the Golden Core stage like them...

Above the entire sky of the Tang Dynasty, a vast and boundless five-clawed golden dragon, formed from the faith and fortune of hundreds of millions of people, coiled!

That was the imperial destiny of the Tang Dynasty!

This aura has a natural tendency to repel and suppress outsiders.

Because they did not have a Tang Dynasty household registration and had not integrated into this land.

The higher one's cultivation level, the more terrifying the oppressive force one feels.

"We can't delay any longer."

Jiang Qingxue put down her teacup and a piece of silver.

"We must travel to Chang'an, the heart of the Tang Dynasty, as soon as possible to find Young Master Li's family or relatives!"

Without hesitation, the two sisters set off immediately.

They dared not fly on their swords, fearing it would attract the attention of the Tang Dynasty officials, so they bought two fast horses and galloped north along the wide official road.

The further north you go.

The sights they encountered along the way were increasingly breathtaking.

The cities along the way were more magnificent than the last.

The city walls are engraved with complex and profound defensive array patterns, and the soldiers guarding the city exude a palpable aura of iron-blooded ferocity and the cultivation fluctuations of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Compared to the Tang Dynasty's army, those so-called immortal cultivation families in the Origin Heaven Realm were like children wielding sticks.

Ten days later.

The Jiang sisters, weary from their journey, finally arrived at the legendary No. 1 city in the world.

Changan.

Standing beneath the towering city wall, which is over ten zhang high, one can look up at the magnificent city that resembles a black dragon coiled on the earth.

Jiang Liyue and Jiang Qingxue were so shocked that they were speechless.

The array fluctuations emanating from the city wall caused the golden cores within their bodies to tremble slightly.

"What a terrifying array barrier..."

Jiang Qingxue took a deep breath and secretly released a sliver of her divine sense, wanting to investigate the true situation within the city.

however.

My consciousness had just crossed the city wall.

Jiang Qingxue's face turned deathly pale instantly!

"puff!"

She clutched her chest abruptly, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Sister! What's wrong with you!" Jiang Liyue exclaimed in shock and quickly helped the swaying Jiang Qingxue.

"Quickly... focus your mind, and whatever you do, don't use your divine sense to investigate!"

Jiang Qingxue's eyes were filled with utter terror.

"In this Chang'an city... there are actually more than a dozen Golden Core stage cultivators! There are even faint fluctuations of those breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage!"

"Not only that!"

Jiang Qingxue pointed to the most secluded part of Chang'an City, to the magnificent palace complex.

"Deep within that palace... resides an unfathomable being!"

"I only sensed it from a distance, and the feeling was like looking directly at a blazing sun."

"Even a Nascent Soul stage expert from the Origin Heaven Realm would probably lack the courage to draw their sword before that being!"

Jiang Liyue gasped.

A dozen or so Golden Core cultivators? And there are even beings surpassing the Nascent Soul stage?!

This Chang'an city is practically a monster's stronghold!

The two dared not be arrogant in the slightest. They obediently concealed their presence and, like ordinary merchants, lined up to be checked before entering Chang'an City.

The city was bustling and prosperous, with a constant flow of traffic.

The sounds of vendors hawking their wares and horses' hooves mingled together, creating a vibrant and lively atmosphere.

As they wandered aimlessly along Suzaku Avenue.

In front of us, a huge square was crowded with tens of thousands of people, creating a bustling atmosphere.

The two sisters curiously squeezed forward.

In the center of the square stood a tall white marble notice board, three zhang high.

Above, written in the vigorous and powerful "Slender Gold" calligraphy style, was a recruitment proclamation that stirred up the entire land of China.

"The Great Tang Immortal Cultivation Academy is officially established today!"

"All citizens of our Great Tang Dynasty, regardless of their humble origins or noble birth, are eligible to participate in the spiritual talent test once they are ten years of age or older."

"Once admitted and enrolled in the academy for further study, all cultivation techniques, elixirs, and magical treasures will be provided free of charge by the imperial treasury!"

"To forge a celestial dynasty for the Great Tang, and to usher in an era of peace for all generations!"

Read the notice carefully.

Jiang Qingxue and Jiang Liyue exchanged a glance, both seeing in each other's eyes a bewilderment and shock that defied their understanding.

In the Origin Heaven Realm.

Cultivation techniques are the lifeblood of all major sects and cultivation families!

To join a sect, one not only needs extraordinary talent, but also must undergo numerous trials and even pay a huge sum as a gift.

Ordinary people from poor families will never even come close to the threshold of cultivating immortality in their entire lives.

But this Tang Dynasty...

Free cultivation training for everyone?!

Even the elixirs and magical artifacts are being supplied by the imperial court?!

"Such spirit, such magnanimity..." Jiang Qingxue murmured to herself.

"No wonder the Tang Dynasty's imperial fortune was so terrifying. Just what a magnificent emperor this Tang emperor was, a ruler of all ages!"

Jiang Liyue nodded repeatedly.

"Brother Li must come from such a top-tier power, that's why he's so powerful."

"Sister, let's quickly find someone to ask where we can find 'Li Shimin'."

The two left the crowded area.
