Chapter 1473 Izumo Empire
Ji Tianxing spent a day wandering around the ancient Xiongcheng.
In the process, he not only observed the topography and customs of the entire city, but also learned a lot of information.
Before coming to Shenwu Continent, he learned thousands of characters of Shenwu Continent from the ancient book written by the Palace Master, and he could speak some simple common languages.
Now he is in this city, looking at the writings everywhere in the city, listening to the conversations of the common people, comparing the two, his learning progress is faster.
According to his understanding, this ancient majestic city is called Tianyun City.
Tianyun City has a history of more than a thousand years, covers an area of more than two hundred miles, and more than three million people live in it.
This is the imperial city of the Izumo Empire, and it is also the territory ruled by Taihao Wushen!
When he heard the news, Ji Tianxing was stunned for a moment, and a playful look flashed in his eyes.
"Jiujiu seems to be from Taihao Divine Kingdom, she worships and respects Taihao Martial God very much.
Unexpectedly, I made a mistake and landed in the territory of Taihao Divine Kingdom..."
When this thought flashed through his mind, he thought of another question, "I thought that Taihao Divine Kingdom was a kingdom, but I didn't expect that it is not the case.
Under the Taihao Divine Kingdom, they actually ruled six empires, and the Izumo Empire was one of them. "
After investigation, he found out that the several empires under the rule of the Taihao Divine Kingdom were different from those kingdoms in the Profound Sky Continent.
Every empire has a vast and boundless territory, endless people and subjects.
On this continent shrouded in divine light, the aura of heaven and earth is extremely strong, and the martial arts civilization is very prosperous, almost multiplying to the extreme.
Just like this Tianyun City, the people who grew up here are almost all warriors who have practiced since childhood.
The common people walking around in the streets and the alleys, as well as the vendors shouting and selling, are all powerful warriors.
Ji Tianxing wandered around the city and found that most of the people had the strength of Tongxuan Realm and Yuandan Realm.
Warriors in the Tianyuan realm can only be regarded as good masters here, who can serve as city guards defending the city, or guards of wealthy families.
It is not uncommon to see warriors in the Soul Refining Realm, and only those in the Primordial Spirit Realm can be called strong.
Even, Ji Tianxing once sensed that there were dozens of obscure and powerful auras in the city, far exceeding the primordial spirit realm.
In addition to this information, he also noticed one thing.
On the squares in the city and on the archways of several streets, the dark golden imperial list is posted.
The emperor's list is filled with characters from the Shenwu Continent. It is an edict written by Emperor Izumo himself, and it seems to announce an extremely solemn event.
Many common people gathered around the imperial list to watch, gathering in groups of three or four, discussing a lot.
Ji Tianxing passed a street and passed under a tall stone tablet. He saw that countless people surrounded the stone tablet with water, so he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
From the comments of the people, he heard words such as "disciple", "big competition", "genius" and "selection".
These words immediately aroused his interest, he stopped, passed through the crowd, and walked towards the stone tablet.
At the foot of the stele, he raised his head and stared at the dark gold imperial list, carefully deciphering the words on it.
It took him a hundred breaths of time to recognize the more than two hundred words and basically understand the meaning of those words.
It turned out that the Izumo Empire was selecting the most outstanding disciples for the great and holy Taihao Wushen in the past two months.
The selection of disciples is only held every twenty years, and it is one of the most solemn ceremonies in Taihao Divine Kingdom.
Any martial artist between the ages of twenty and eighty, whose strength has reached the sixth level of Soul Refining Realm and above, is eligible to participate in the selection.
At the beginning, more than 200 cities under the Izumo Empire conducted the first round of selection.
The thousands of young warriors who won came to the imperial city, Tianyun City, for the second round of selection and competition.
After the big competition in the past few days, thousands of warriors were eliminated, and only fifteen young geniuses stood out and won the victory.
The names of these fifteen geniuses and powerhouses were written on the imperial list, and were admired and praised by the people of the whole city.
They will represent the Izumo Empire, go to the sacred Haotian Tower, and participate in the final selection of gods and disciples.
Whoever can become a god-disciple will be the supreme glory, and will be bathed in the divine light of the Martial God Taihao, and he will be able to rise to the top and flourish, and the future of martial arts is limitless!
Even if you can't become a disciple of a god, you can still become a servant of the gods in the kingdom of God, and your status is far superior to that of ordinary dignitaries, very impressive!
All in all, the fifteen geniuses on the imperial list will all become big names who are famous all over the world.
However, three days later, the fifteen geniuses on the imperial list will have a final competition.
They will hold a ranking battle in the square in the city to determine their respective strength rankings.
Obviously, whoever is stronger can win a higher ranking, get better treatment, and have a better reputation.
After reading the news on the imperial list, Ji Tianxing silently withdrew from the crowd, standing in the corner thinking.
"Sure enough, it's the selection of gods and apprentices! Jiujiu mentioned this to me at the beginning. She ran into the Xuanmin Gate by mistake on the way to Haotian Tower, and that's how she met me.
Unexpectedly, ten months have passed, and the selection of gods and disciples is about to come to an end, and the Izumo Empire has selected fifteen geniuses..."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help frowning, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.
"The selection of gods and apprentices is a grand ceremony every twenty years. Before the palace master brought Yunyao to Shenwu Continent, he gave a one-year deadline.
Thinking back now, when the palace master sent Yunyao to Shenwu Continent, it seemed that it was just three months ago when the selection of disciples was about to start.
Could it be that the Palace Master's rush to send Yunyao here has something to do with the selection of disciples?
Will Yunyao also be in Taihao Divine Kingdom? Could it be that the mysterious strong man that the Palace Master works for is Martial God Taihao? "
Although these are his conjectures, there is not much basis.
But after weighing it for a while, he always felt that it was possible.
"Anyway, I have just arrived in the Shenwu Continent, and I have nowhere to settle and gain a foothold, and I don't understand the situation in this continent.
Even if I want to find Yaoyao, I don't know where to start.
That being the case, I will take this opportunity of the selection of disciples to find a way to enter the Haotian Tower!
I have to investigate to see if Yaoyao is there... Even if I can't find Yaoyao, I can go to Jiujiu for help.
On this continent, I only know Jiujiu, and she is considered a friend.
She seems to be from a wealthy family, if she is willing to help me find Yaoyao, it will definitely save me a lot of trouble and time. "
Thinking of this, Ji Tianxing made up his mind, starting from the ranking battle three days later, and trying to find a way to go to Haotian Tower.
Of course, what he has to do now is to find out the relevant news about the ranking battle, and investigate the identities and strength information of the fifteen geniuses.
Only after making a decision can we be more confident.
