In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 166 The Brilliant Martial Arts Civilization

A powerful being in the Spirit Realm is a pillar that can hold down a major power and ensure its prosperity for hundreds of years!

How could he possibly make such a simple move, even to the point of his own demise?

Rather, if it really comes to the point where even powerful beings in the Spirit Realm have to take action, then it will definitely be a major battle!

However, to Yan Qing's relief, Shen Xing did not continue to ask.

But he also gained a deeper understanding of the young man in front of him, who even his own ancestor treated with utmost respect—judging from the ordinary attitude of this powerful being at the Vision Realm, he must have come from an extremely powerful force outside the realm!

Yan Qing could already sense the other party's completely different understanding, which was revealed in almost every word and action.

At this moment, Shen Xing and the others also boarded a luxurious, enormous beast-drawn carriage, which was pulled by two second-realm demonic beasts.

That's right. If you don't want to travel around the city, you need a means of transportation, and it can't be slow.

Because the entire town was incredibly huge, Shen Xing had already surveyed it from high above. Not to mention the towering walls that were thousands of meters high, the furthest point inside the town was a full twenty-one kilometers away!

Yes, twenty-one kilometers!

This is clearly not some backward ancient city, but a magnificent city built over hundreds or even thousands of years in a world where almost everyone is a martial artist!

It can even be said to be a manifestation of the prosperity of human civilization in this world.

Many things in the city gave Shen Xing a sense of exoticism, different from that of technological civilization.

The roads were wide, and the buildings were equally tall, including some that were hundreds of meters high. Shen Xing could even see two towers that reached into the clouds, almost as tall as the city walls.

Compared to this, Jiaolong City is like the difference between a small county town and a first-tier city in my previous life.

In addition, such a huge city also has a certain urban management system. Even the roads are divided into several lanes. Shen Xing saw many vehicles pulled by demonic beasts speeding along specific roads, while martial artists who were not in vehicles were jumping and running on other roads.

It looks very orderly.

Such scenes and images are simply not seen in Jiaolong City.

So much so that Cao Qiyun and the others were somewhat stunned by what they saw.

However, their reaction made Shen Xing slightly dissatisfied.

"You lot, now that you've followed me, you should be more composed," he said, shaking his head. "If you behave like this even in a place like this, wouldn't you utterly disgrace me if you returned to your clan with me?"

"Young master is right." The group all lowered their heads in shame.

Indeed, I have never seen such a huge and prosperous city in Wu.

Looking around, almost everyone walking on the street was a martial artist!

Aside from children, even the most humble laborers have at least some skill in training their skin.

Upon seeing this scene, Yan Qing understood that these five people were probably followers recruited by this young master Shen in some small area along the way.

This gave Yan Qing some ideas.

Since this young master Shen is willing to recruit followers, could he also recruit a few more?

He himself was naturally unwilling, but he had several talented grandchildren who, if they could be sent to this young master Shen's side...

However, Yan Qing wouldn't rush to bring it up.

Putting aside his ancestor's attitude, Shen Xing himself is shrouded in mystery.

At this moment, Shen Xing didn't really care about his thoughts. His previous rebuke was just to maintain his "high-class" image.

He was also observing the city in his own way, and soon discovered that this place was not "a place where the three realms are everywhere and the innate is inferior to a dog".

Ninety-nine percent of martial artists are only at the Body Refinement stage; those at the Innate stage are still quite rare. When they do appear, most martial artists on the street respectfully give way.

Although it lacks the imposing aura of the "primordial ancestors" of Jiaolong City, judging from this proportion, the primordial beings can still be considered strong in this place.

"Xiao Ling, how many innate martial artists are there in the city?" Shen Xing suddenly asked.

Yan Qing was stunned again.

What is this question? Zhenguan City is located on the border, connected to Heisen. Every day, a large number of martial artists enter or leave the city in search of opportunities.

However, a sound suddenly came from Shen Xing's body.

"There are currently 2,432 Innate Martial Artists, Master. In addition, there are 124 Martial Artists at the Third Realm, making the total number 3.72 million."

This is Xiaoling's voice.

But Yan Qing tensed up immediately.

He knew nothing about the divine weapon.

Moreover, he didn't know the exact number of innate martial artists, but he did know the approximate number of grandmasters and the total population.

That's about all there is, so it can't be too bad!

Could it be that divine sense directly covered the entire city?

Yan Qing trembled slightly, suddenly understanding his ancestor's attitude!

"The number isn't large, but it's still quite remarkable to see them here," Shen Xing commented.

This statement is not wrong. In terms of urban surface area alone, this place is even much larger than Linjiang City, and almost everyone here is a martial artist, with a high proportion of those with innate martial arts skills.

It can only be said that although this world does not have the scientific and technological capabilities of the Human Federation, it can still develop a brilliant martial arts civilization with the support of extraordinary martial arts.

However, this also made Shen Xing even more excited.

If the world only had a civilization at the level of Wu Yu, then he would be troubled and disappointed.

For him, the more developed and prosperous this place is, the better.

Because that means greater wealth and more opportunities!

Putting aside everything else, with such a large martial arts population, the amount of martial arts resources circulating in the market would be exceptionally large, including some top-tier resources.

And it can be easily obtained simply through wealth and status.

Just thinking about it made Shen Xing eager to see it for himself.

However, the first destination is still Wanjuan Pavilion.

Hopefully, this "mysterious" force will not disappoint him.

At the speed of the demon beast carriage, they soon arrived at the location of the Myriad Scrolls Pavilion. However, Shen Xing was somewhat surprised to find that this place was one of the two tallest towers in the city.

The entire structure appears to be made of piled-up black boulders, seemingly without steel reinforcement, yet supported by stone pillars pulsating with vital energy, some of which even bear inscriptions.

They were clearly using weapon-forging techniques in construction!

Shen Xing stood at the door for a while, with Yan Qing by his side. In just that short time, they attracted the attention of many passing martial artists.

"Isn't that Yan Qing, Lord Yan, from the Prince's Mansion?"

"Who is that boy?"

"Am I seeing things? It seems like Lord Yan is keeping you company?"

"You're not mistaken, Lord Yan is indeed standing behind me."

"Could he be a young master or prince from the capital?"

"Even if they are princes and nobles, they don't need Lord Yan to accompany them. That's the son of the Eastern King!"

"."

Clearly, the mere fact that Yan Qing was by his side was enough to earn Shen Xing many looks of amazement and awe.

This is also one of the benefits of first getting to know and being impressed by a fourth-level expert.

At least, no one will suddenly jump out to provoke him, making him waste time slapping them in the face.

Such a gaze naturally did not make Shen Xing feel uncomfortable in the slightest.

He glanced around at the door for a moment, then went straight inside.

The interior does resemble a library; even on the first floor, you can see rows of wooden shelves, and many people are walking back and forth.

In front of the shelf by the door sat a beautiful young woman who looked to be in her thirties, holding a book and exuding an intellectual charm.

"Isn't this Lord Yan?" The beautiful young woman raised her eyes, glanced at Yan Qing, and chuckled lightly. "What brings you to my Wanjuan Pavilion today?"

"Mrs. Yan, you've misjudged me. I'm just keeping you company today. This young master Shen is the real honored guest," Yan Qing said with a smile, clearly quite familiar with the woman.

Given his status, there weren't many people in this town who could match him, but Yan Si Niang in front of him could be considered one of them.

Wanjuan Pavilion is a well-known name throughout the entire Sacred Lake Region.

"Whose young master is this? He seems quite powerful, hmm?" Yan Si Niang, who also possessed the strength of the third realm, first glanced at Shen Xing casually, then looked at him again, and then froze.

At first glance, she only saw Yan Qing, whose strength was no less than hers. Only now did she suddenly realize that this boy, who looked to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, actually possessed a terrifying aura.

Especially the dragon's might that filled his entire body, even she felt a little apprehensive.

But how could that be!

The opponent is only at the innate level.

No, it's highly unlikely that someone of this age could reach the Innate Realm!

"This is..." Yan Si Niang had already stood up, her expression involuntarily becoming serious.

"Young Master Shen," Yan Qing introduced, then emphasized, "Young Master Shen comes from beyond the borders; he is a distinguished guest personally entertained by my father!"

With just this one sentence, Yan Si Niang elevated Shen Xing's status once again.

Yan Qing's father is the most powerful fourth-realm expert in the entire Zhenguan City, and even in the entire eastern region of Lan Kingdom!

Regardless of talent or ability, their background is absolutely terrifying.

When did such a person arrive in Zhenguan City?

These words also caused many martial artists who were watching from afar to whisper among themselves, some of them looking shocked, clearly frightened by what Yan Qing had said.

However, no matter how amazed they were, Shen Xing remained calm.

Clearly, from the moment he arrived here, he was destined to be extraordinary.

A reputation will be built up sooner or later.

But at this moment, he was still more interested in the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion.

"This is indeed my first time visiting your Sacred Lake Region," Shen Xing said unhurriedly. "I've heard that the Myriad Scrolls Pavilion is dedicated to collecting and sharing divine will inheritances? That certainly piques my interest. Why don't you give me a brief introduction?"

"As expected of an honored guest."

Yan Si Niang chuckled twice, her gaze towards Shen Xing becoming increasingly curious.
