Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 454: Chapter 422: City of Daxia_1

Compared to the County City, the Imperial City would naturally be more prosperous.

Even though this world lacks the magical methods of Cultivators, Martial Artists themselves are Transcendant. A city built by Martial Artists would be considered a miraculous existence even in their previous world.

Whether it’s the city walls, or the grand buildings, all alike are the palaces of giants.

“It’s so big!”

Zhang Ergou exclaimed once again.

Ever since he started following Xu Mu, every day had been a challenge to his cognition.

“It’s indeed worthy of being the Imperial City!” Yang Jiang also sighed.

Only Yin Wen revealed a trace of nostalgia. She had visited the City of Daxia several times due to various matters. However, each time she felt as insignificant as an ant.

Compared to the City of Daxia, filled with master martial artists and endless prosperity, the County City she was born in could only be considered rural.

In the County City, she, a War King, was considered an important person. But in the City of Daxia, she was nobody.

Many families in the City of Daxia were connected to martial ancestors, so even if a Martial Emperor came, they would have to behave.

Of course, she was now at the level of Martial Emperor. Furthermore, she had an unlimited future. Naturally, her mood was different from previous visits.

Moreover, the one who brought her here was Xiao Tian Yuan, the number one people of Da Xia Nation. And she also had the backing of Xu Mu.

How can one explain that feeling?

Suddenly, it seemed that the City of Daxia was just that, no longer as majestic and unreachable as before. She now had an equal view of it.

Xiao Tian Yuan and the others too had complex emotions. When they set off, they thought it was a minor matter. However, they didn’t expect to suffer a complete defeat.

They hadn’t anticipated that the defeat would be so thorough, almost as if they were trampled and rubbed against the ground.

Especially Xiao Tian Yuan, who seemed like a completely different person. No longer high and mighty, he had fallen from the pedestal of a god.

Now he was full of respect, like an old servant.

It wasn’t because Xiao Tian Yuan’s character was bad, it was because Xu Mu was too powerful. The two mere bystanders almost had their Dao Heart shattered.

When you face someone younger than you, yet far more powerful, this is the kind of feeling you get.

The only one composed amongst them was Xu Mu. He had seen many magical places, although the City of Daxia was imposing, it did not rank among the buildings he had seen before.

The others did not know this. They simply thought that this was how Xu Mu should react. If he were to be surprised or shocked at every turn, how could he be considered a master?

“Master! We have arrived!”

Xiao Tian Yuan spoke.

His voice wasn’t loud, but it was clearly transmitted to everyone’s ears.

“Hmm!”

Xu Mu nodded, and the white crane beneath him immediately flew towards the City of Daxia.

Outside the city stood a group of men and women, exquisitely dressed, with noble demeanours, respectfully standing at the city gates as if receiving someone. Around them were numerous soldiers on guard.

Upon hearing the cry of the Blue-eyed Golden Eagle, their expressions grew even more reverent, bowing even lower.

Whoosh, whoosh!

The Blue-eyed Golden Eagle, with its enormous wings, slowly descended at the city gate.

At the same time, Xu Mu withdrew the white crane he was sitting on and lightly landed on the ground.

“We welcome the return of the saint!”

These individuals, extravagantly dressed and of noble identity, cried out in unison as if they were servants.

Xiao Tian Yuan, however, did not pay them any attention and went to Xu Mu’s side first.

“Master, I will take you to where you will stay,” said Xiao Tian Yuan.

Those elites of the City of Daxia, who were witnessing this scene, were all dumbfounded on the spot.

Were they seeing things, or were their ears playing tricks on them?

The National Martial Saint of Da Xia Nation was actually calling a youngster teacher, and even behaving like a junior in front of him.

Could this be the esteemed guest the Martial Saint was talking about?

This thought inevitably crossed the minds of these high-ranking officials.

Before Xiao Tian Yuan returned, he had already sent a message to the City of Daxia through special means, otherwise, they wouldn’t be welcoming him at the city gates.

The message mentioned that an esteemed guest would be arriving with them.

But everyone, to their astonishment, had never thought that this guest could be so distinguished that even Xiao Tian Yuan had to pay him respects as if he was his junior.

What sort of manners should they display, then? Did they have to act like grandchildren?

All of them felt somewhat blank.

“No need to go to the residence, take me directly to the League of Martial Artists’ library,” said Xu Mu.

For Xu Mu, the lavish lifestyle of the City of Daxia held no appeal. In his eyes, enhancing his power and leaving this world as quickly as possible were the priorities. Therefore, whenever someone attempted to curry favor with him, he paid them little mind.

His focus was entirely devoted to studying Martial Method when he wasn’t eating,

“Yes!” Xiao Tian Yuan respectfully replied.

Seeing Xu Mu’s obsession with martial arts, the two martial ancestors who were following him breathed a sigh of relief.

They were truly afraid that Xu Mu would seize power

With Xu Mu’s power, taking control of the country would be effortless. However, such a move would undoubtedly plunge the nation into chaos, leading to countless deaths and injuries.

Now that Xu Mu had no interest in seizing power and was solely focused on practicing martial arts, it was undoubtedly a sigh of relief for everyone.

It wasn’t surprising, however. It was unlikely that anyone who could achieve so much at such a young age was power-hungry.

Even the prominent Martial Goddess of recent decades, who was deeply engrossed in cultivation and indifferent to power, could have dominated half the continent, if she’d wanted.

Xiao Tian Yuan led the way, and the crowd of high-ranking officials accommodatingly parted for them as though they were in a procession.

Walking behind Xiao Tian Yuan, Xu Mu was flanked by two Martial Ancestors who guarded him closely.

While Yin Wen was a little nervous, Yang Jiang and Zhang Ergou were busy looking around. Yang Jiang remained somewhat restrained, but Zhang Ergou resembled a wide-eyed country bumpkin in his awe.

“Master, the clothes these people are wearing are so beautiful, do you recognize them?” Zhang Ergou asked Yin Wen.

He was older than Yin Wen, but felt awkward addressing her as “Young Mistress,” or any other title that might come to mind. So, he simply called her “Master,” considering Yan Wen was assigned by Xu Mu to teach him.

“Those clothes are made from materials found in the Wilderness, They are not only visually appealing, but also offer extraordinary defensive power. Anyone who can wear such clothes is no ordinary individual!” Yin Wen reminded carefully.

She wasn’t familiar with most of the people who had come to greet them. However, few she had encountered more than once. Among them were top-ranked officials from Da Xia Nation and high-ranking members of the League of Martial Artists, essentially more or less the powerhouses.

A few of them were powerful Martial Ancestors, they weren’t familiar with.

“Once we enter the city, let’s go buy some for ourselves. I collected a lot of silver in the county city, it should be enough to buy some, right?” Zhang Ergou suggested.

During their time in the county city, the major families tried to curry favor with them, failed to win Xu Mu’s favor. They gave him a vast amount of gold, silver, and gifts, enough to fill a room.

After consulting with Xu Mu, they kept a small portion that was easy to carry, and left the rest in the city. Yin Wen and Yang Jiang were also aware of these events, as both of them received quite a lot.

“With the money you have, you can’t even afford the corner of those clothes,” Yin Wen laughed.

The clothes worn by these people were made of special materials, and not merely made from monster skins from the Wilderness. They were intricate to manufacture and, very comfortable to wear. They could keep one cool in summer and warm in winter. More importantly, they offered defense power superior to monster skins.

Such clothes could be considered as heirlooms in most families. They were likely only wearing them today because they had to meet Xiao Tian Yuan. They wouldn’t usually bear to wear them under normal circumstances.

“If the three of you wish, I’d be happy to have a few pieces sent to each of you!” Martial Ancestor Mu Chen turned and said with a smile.
