The next day, Phoenix Cry City.
As one of the three ancient cities of the Great Zenith Domain, the Phoenix Cry Ancient City occupied an extremely large area. There were tens of millions of people in the city. If the surrounding few small cities were included, the entire population of the Phoenix Cry City exceeded 100 million.
Today was the birthday of the City Lord, Xie Fengchen. The entire Phoenix Cry City seemed to be celebrating a festive occasion, with lanterns and decorations.
As for the City Lord’s Manor, which was the size of a royal palace, it was unprecedentedly grand and lively. Guests rushed over to present their congratulatory gifts.
“Holy Lord Biyao has arrived!” With a loud voice, a flying boat flew over from afar and stopped in the sky above the City Lord Manor.
Immediately, a few graceful figures landed from the flying boat. Their clothes fluttered in the wind, and they looked like fairies.
They were the Holy Lord of the Divine Pool Holy Land, Perfected Biyao, Holy Daughter Yao Xi, and a few personal disciples.
Seeing Holy Lord Biyao arrive, a commotion broke out in the residence. Countless male cultivators looked at Holy Lord Biyao and the others with burning gazes.
These people were goddesses in the hearts of countless men in the Immortal Martial World, true beauties.
City Lord Xie Fengchen personally led everyone to welcome them before inviting everyone from the Divine Pool Holy Land to their seats.
Before long, another voice sounded from afar. “Holy Lord Tian Hui has arrived!”
As the announcements resounded through the entire Phoenix Cry City, the citizens were also excited as they stared at the extraordinary figures flying through the sky.
The Holy Lords of the various Holy Lands were legendary figures to most of the citizens in the city, like immortals.
At this moment, the announcement sounded again. “Immortal Master Li has arrived!”
“Gasp!”
Upon hearing the name Immortal Master Li, the entire Phoenix Cry City erupted.
Currently, there was only one immortal master in the entire Immortal Martial World, and that was Li Yu, who had once spoken the mantras of the Great Dao and saved the various Holy Lands and the commoners of the world.
Immortal Master Li was the publicly acknowledged title.
Furthermore, Phoenix Cry City was now under the jurisdiction of the Qingyun Sect. People from the Qingyun Sect often came and went from Phoenix Cry City, so the citizens of Phoenix Cry City were not unfamiliar with people from the Qingyun Sect.
However, not many people had seen Li Yu with their own eyes. Other than the Genius Excellence Rankings, Li Yu only existed in legends.
Although they were still unable to see Li Yu with their own eyes this time, they were still excited to know that Li Yu had arrived in Phoenix Cry City.
“Immortal Master Li is here too!”
“Heavens, as expected of our City Lord. Even Immortal Master Li has come personally to congratulate us!”
“Look, that should be Immortal Master Li!” Countless people on the street exclaimed excitedly as their gazes gathered on a gigantic figure in the sky.
It was the figure of a Qilin. Countless commoners were shocked to see a Qilin. This was the first time they had seen a real one.
It was a pity that they could not see Li Yu.
In the residence, the entire residence was in an uproar when they heard the person reporting the arrival of Immortal Li.
Xie Fengchen’s face flushed red with excitement, and he was even a little nervous.
He did not expect Li Yu to come personally. He had only sent the invitation out of courtesy, but he did not dare to hope that Li Yu would come personally to congratulate him.
What sort of status did Li Yu have? He was a truly extraordinary person. He was the strongest person in the myriad worlds, the symbol of invincibility, the god in the hearts of everyone in the Immortal Martial World.
Xie Fengchen was both excited and terrified that such an extraordinary figure had come to congratulate him.
He hurriedly led a group of Xie family members to the hall to welcome them with an incomparably respectful expression.
It was the same for the various Holy Lords and countless guests.
The servants in the residence bowed respectfully and knelt on the ground, waiting for Li Yu’s arrival.
The divine beast Qilin flew above the residence and transformed into its human form before flying over with Li Yu and Gu Yuqi.
In an instant, it was as if multicolored light shone down from the sky. Rich immortal energy spread down from the sky, and there seemed to be profound sounds echoing in the world like immortal music.
The Dao runes’ aura transformed into golden specks of light that scattered in the sky like a deluge of flowers.
Li Yu stepped through the air. Every step seemed to have spatial ripples spreading, and every step seemed to stop time for a moment.
When he landed, the ground was covered in greenery. The surrounding trees bloomed, and hundreds of flowers bloomed while birds chirped.
Rich Dao runes and immortal energy enveloped the surroundings. The power of the Great Dao flowed, instantly turning this place into a paradise.
In an instant, everyone was stunned.
Even the various Holy Lords, Holy Daughter Yao Xi, Holy Son Chu Yunhe, and the others who had seen Li Yu before were stunned.
It had been a long time since they last met, and Li Yu had become even more extraordinary. The Li Yu of the past was outstanding like an immortal.
Now, he was like an immortal god, a true god.
He emitted dense immortal energy and Dao runes as if he was the embodiment of the Great Dao.
All the female disciples of the Divine Pool Holy Land and the young women of the other sects and families could not help but want to rush up and embrace the Great Dao.
He was the one who had personally experienced the Great Dao and had intimate contact with it. They had a deep exchange and fused into one.
“Welcome, Immortal Master!” After his shock, Xie Fengchen bowed with cupped hands. Everyone responded in unison, and countless burning gazes gathered on Li Yu.
At the moment, as they stood beside Li Yu, they felt as if their cultivation realms were rapidly improving. It was as if they were enlightened and their Dao techniques were enlightened.
“No need for formalities, everyone. Thank you, City Lord. This is a small gift. Please accept it!” Li Yu handed over the congratulatory gift he had brought.
“Thank you, Immortal Master. You’re too kind!” Xie Fengchen received the gift from Li Yu with trembling hands.
Then, he invited Li Yu into the hall and offered him a seat.
At the same time, in the forest 250 kilometers away from the Phoenix Cry Ancient City, Old Demon Futu woke up from his coma.
He looked around in confusion before he slowly recalled everything that had happened.
Yesterday, he used a forbidden technique to teleport here.
However, due to the severe consumption of his soul and blood essence, he fainted and only woke up now.
“Hey, where are my clothes?” When Old Demon Futu returned to his senses, he was shocked to discover that he had been stripped naked. His immortal robe and magic clothes had been stolen, and even his storage ring had been stolen. All that was left was his underwear.
“Damn it, who is so bold as to steal my clothes!” Elder Futu roared angrily. Then, with a thought, a figure smashed heavily onto the ground in front of him.
At the same time, the immortal-robed magic robe and storage ring instantly returned to his body.
“Little bastard, how dare you steal my clothes! Are you tired of living?”
“Expert, please spare my life. I, I was blinded by greed for a moment. Please forgive me!”
Old Demon Futu glanced coldly at the thief. He was only a low-level cultivator.
“Kid, what is this place?” Old Demon Futu asked.
“Great Zenith Domain!” the man replied.
“Are there any large sects or cities nearby? The more the merrier?”
“Yes, 250 kilometers east is the Phoenix Cry Ancient City. There are tens of millions of people there!”
“Tens of millions of people. Hmm, not bad. If I suck their vitality dry, my cultivation should be able to recover completely!” Old Demon Futu revealed a cruel smile.
Upon hearing Old Demon Futu’s words, the man looked at him as if he was a fool.
He remembered that the grass on the grave of someone who wanted to do this last time should be 30 feet tall.
Furthermore, the Phoenix Cry Ancient City was a city under the jurisdiction of the Qingyun Sect. Whoever dared to have designs on the Phoenix Cry Ancient City would be courting death.
“Expert, you… aren’t from our Immortal Martial World, right?” The man suddenly asked.
“Of course, I’m from the Fallen God Palace of the Netherworld Heaven Immortal Realm!” Old Demon Futu looked at the man in surprise, wondering why he suddenly asked this.
“Oh, no wonder.”
Old Demon Futu was even more surprised by the man’s reaction.
‘Is there something wrong with this guy’s head? He didn’t seem surprised at all when he heard that I was from the Immortal Realm. Instead, he said something ridiculous.’
However, Old Demon Futu did not have the time to talk nonsense with him. He waved his hand and instantly devoured the man’s vitality.
Then, his figure flashed and flew towards the Phoenix Cry Ancient City.
