On the ground, a figure was stretched long, very long.

Ye Qiu did not rush ahead, but advanced slowly, and even so, after half a month, he had already traversed ten thousand miles.

During this journey, Ye Qiu was pondering a question: the sense of crisis that arises when he is about to break through and invoke the Heavenly Tribulation, where does it come from? If it’s just an illusion, Ye Qiu thinks it’s impossible, given his level of strength, any danger would alert him in advance.

Especially the stronger the power, the more intense the premonition of danger becomes.

Otherwise, Ye Qiu would not have suppressed the opportunity to break through at that time.

If the sense of danger comes from the surroundings, based on Ye Qiu’s subsequent observations, it didn’t quite add up.

There were people like Chi Hu, who, although strong in the Saint Realm, wouldn’t necessarily pose a threat to him, and moreover, he had the Formation as a backing, even if he couldn’t beat them, he could still escape using the Formation.

They couldn’t bring such a strong sense of danger to him.

Could it be that some hidden master from afar has his eye on him?

Ye Qiu felt it was unlikely; if that were the case, they wouldn’t have disappeared just as he suppressed his breakthrough aura, it would be too coincidental.

Later, Ye Qiu recalled the words Gu Tian had once said to him.

Ye Qiu pondered repeatedly: Gu Tian had said that once he breaks into the Saint Realm, he would appear; could the source of danger be Gu Tian?

If so, why did Gu Tian save him in the first place, it would be completely unnecessary; or perhaps he believes that once Ye Qiu is strong enough upon breakthrough, it would be amusing to kill him...

These reasons didn’t hold together.

Ye Qiu completely rejected the various ideas in his mind, but when it came to finding the source of danger, he genuinely had no clue.

Could the danger be from the Supreme Saint of Jiu Jue? Or did the Celestial Palace learn of his identity and is searching for him everywhere, or perhaps it is the powerful figures from Donghua Sect and Shadow? Ye Qiu ran through all these possibilities.

However, he still couldn’t make any sense of it or determine where the danger was coming from.

Thinking along the way, without any results, Ye Qiu eventually stopped pondering, having thought all the way, his head was swollen.

Anyway, his Saint Realm Heavenly Tribulation would be a near-death experience, perhaps the sense of danger was just due to the terrifying nature of the tribulation itself; after all, he is someone who has comprehended nine types of Rule Power. When he broke the Void Realm, he underwent nine rounds of Heavenly Tribulation, and advancing to the Saint Realm would surely be nine rounds of terrifying tribulation as well.

"Ahead should be Wan Shou City." Ye Qiu gazed far away, and tens of miles ahead, there was a grand city. Even from here, one could feel the grandeur and antiquity of this city.

Approaching would certainly bring more than just the shock at what’s ahead.

Through the memory in Chi Hu’s soul, this area belonged to Great Lords like him, all managed by Wan Shou City. Of course, Wan Shou City mostly turned a blind eye, not managing too strictly, essentially maintaining a laissez-faire attitude towards Great Lords.

Ancient beasts not only mimic human forms, they also like to imitate human cities. This tradition has been going on for many years, Ye Qiu wasn’t sure exactly how long, but from Chi Hu’s soul, Ye Qiu saw that even when Chi Hu was young, it was already like this.

Whether in the Southern Desolate or the Eastern Desolate, Ye Qiu felt that their history far exceeded Earth’s, because some orthodoxies and sects here are tens of thousands of years old, while Earth humanity has only existed for so many years. It’s no wonder the people from these ancestral lands enjoy calling Earth people natives; in their eyes, even with Earth’s advanced technology, it’s really nothing because they can fly with their flesh, enter the universe, and their own power can reach the destructive force of many advanced weapons; no wonder they disdain the power of technology.

Regarding his prior instructions to those small lords to explore the news about the Beast God, it indeed bore fruit. The news gathered mentioned that the Beast God had appeared in Wan Shou City.

With this information, Ye Qiu naturally headed to Wan Shou City first, hoping to find the Beast God, and if not, he’d make other plans.

To cover tens of miles is merely a matter of moment; with a quickened pace, Ye Qiu soon arrived at the front of Wan Shou City. Approaching and viewing this grand city, imparted a sense of vigor.

Though the ancient beast’s city imitates human cities, its scale is much larger than those ancient cities in the Eastern Desolate Lands.

It’s simply like a colossal city where giants live; if you change your thinking, it becomes understandable compared to humans, ancient beasts’ true forms are very large, especially the higher the realm of an ancient beast, once it reveals its true form, it might rival a mountain. Imagine if within a city, suddenly an ancient beast assumed its true form, and because the city was too small, it collapsed; wouldn’t that be awkward?

Probably considering this aspect, the beasts’ cities are formidable in size; just the city gates alone are over a hundred meters long and equally high, appearing very magnificent.

Ye Qiu, suddenly a human entering Wan Shou City, did not attract much attention, as upon entering, he found it teeming with people, making Ye Qiu pause, thinking he had teleported to the Eastern Desolate Lands.

But upon careful inspection, Ye Qiu naturally realized that those in human form are ancient beasts, and he was concealing his aura, making it difficult for even ancient beasts to discern whether he was human or beast.

This saved him quite a bit of hassle, and Ye Qiu didn’t worry about being targeted.

Moreover, one reason for Ye Qiu concealing his aura was that ancient beasts liked eating humans, he certainly didn’t want to reveal a human scent attracting some beasts to stare at him drooling, wishing to eat him.

He, a big man, having other beasts transformed into a man, showing that look would give him goosebumps.

Not attracting attention allowed Ye Qiu to search for the Beast God, scrutinizing this ancient beasts’ city, finding that there were stores selling various goods.

Items like weapons, food, and various living supplies, though quite different from those abundant human shops; the styles are ultimately far fewer.

Apart from some completely human-appearing ancient beasts, there were many with their true form heads but human bodies, looking quite like spirits.

However, Ye Qiu was accustomed to this, some ancient beasts had personalities and didn’t like taking human form; Ye Qiu saw several maintaining their true form while standing and walking. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Truly human figures were very few, one could even say there were none.

At least, he himself was human.

Unemotionally walking through the city, Ye Qiu’s eyes scanned everywhere; though the Beast God had appeared here, it was ultimately a broad area, and this city was much larger than a human city, Ye Qiu couldn’t very well use his spiritual power to search, opting to find the Beast God with eyes instead.

Finally, Ye Qiu decided to first find a place to stay and then slowly explore.

Just as Ye Qiu was looking for a place to settle, a carriage suddenly rushed forward, causing pedestrians to dodge aside.

Ye Qiu also moved aside, not paying much attention, until the first carriage passed, and seeing the humans incarcerated in the carriages behind, Ye Qiu frowned.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, focusing on a stitched pattern behind the frontmost carriage.

The Celestial Palace emblem!
