Upon seeing that great wall, they suddenly and completely understood what the city walls of this world truly signify.

A profound sense of epic and heritage, spanning through the ages, was encapsulated in this moment.

High walls cast by the sages of the past, arranged in historical order, endlessly extending; birth and death are the past, death and rebirth are also the future.

"In this world, sages are casting a continuous Great Wall with history, to protect the humans dwelling within."

They murmured softly.

Whether it is the conceptual protection of the historical Great Wall or the tangible protection of the historical Great Wall.

In this instance, they deeply realized why this era is called the most flourishing epoch in the history of the Immortal Path.

Looking at that wall, all the doubts and confusion in their hearts were answered.

Because it's a flourishing age of literature, they, as scholars, inherently possess a certain romanticism of chivalry and a sentiment of saving the world.

Cultural heritage is passed on.

Educating people through reading allows these scholars to become a torrent, writing an ode to humanity in a unique way.

And above the torrent of time, the supreme being who teaches the world to read, today's Saint, is the source of this literary flourishing.

He established countless tombstones for the people of the world, guarding the Human Race.

"Such a profoundly impactful mythical worldview, I've decided to cure the Saint's eyes."

Dizzy shouted, "At all costs, our manor will continue the legacy like a couplet, Blade, Spear, Sword and Halberd!"

"Hahaha~ Brothers, we saw the wall, we have to find a way to get inside."

Dizzy shrieked to share his joy, unable to restrain his excitement.

Ah!!!!

Surrounded by mountains, he shouted, expressing the excitement within his heart.

Alas.

Compared to the wall several times taller than Mount Everest, his cries were too small, disappearing into the intense wind and snow without a trace.

And the other blacksmiths, including Erya, were all awestruck by the amazing scene before them.

This scene is destined to be unforgettable for a lifetime.

This is the core of the Thousand Cities of the Human Race on Xinyi Continent, the Holy Land.

Click.

They directly took a photo.

After taking several shots of the magnificent and vast walls, they confirmed their position, descended the mountain, and headed towards the immense wall.

They quickly returned to the horizon, planning to cross this mountain range according to their previous memory and route.

The mountains obscured the grand wall, which was why they couldn't see it just moments before.

It felt like not seeing Mount Tai because of a single leaf.

"What a huge wall." Dizzy's voice was hoarse, "The little rubbish walls of Pingchang City are child's play."

Erya murmured, "How large must the human habitation inside these walls be?"

A blacksmith next to them said:

"No matter how big, it's not strange. Humans survive in a mode of congregating in places, living inside walls, and the walls partition towns, small villages, mountains, rivers, and farmlands."

The group of them accelerated, quickly bypassed the mountains, saw the colossal wall, and continued onward. They saw a gigantic city gate.

Above it was written [Scaly Gate]

No one knows how vast this entire city truly is.

But the number of gates in the city should not be small, maybe in the thousands, possibly even tens of thousands of gates.

Because the small Pingchang City, merely the size of a province on Earth, has thousands of gates, accessible for people to come and go.

What's more.

Most cultivators in Pingchang City have never even been to farther gathering places all their lives.

Just like rarely going from the east to the west of a province.

The area they will enter through this gate may have no interaction with other areas whatsoever, perhaps never even seeing the Sword Fairy.

Because the Sword Fairy should be at the very center of the concentric ring-like regions, likely being studied by a group of big shots on her structure.

The place is just too vast.

"Is that the city gate?"

Dizzy's voice was dry, "Don't cause any trouble by accidentally entering a tomb in the wall."

"It won't be wrong." Erya said, "Even though I've never been here, the rules of Pingchang City should apply here as well—any city gate is for passage, whereas tombs wouldn't have open gates for people to enter."

They quickly walked to the city gate.

Discovering people entering one after another, inside was a bustling market with people coming and going.

"Sir, can we go in?"

Dizzy pondered for a moment, intending to observe at the gate and silently used the communication token to ask the old steward on the other side.

They kept exchanging messages all along.

Ning Zheng checked the Qi Fortune Value, there wasn't an issue, so he felt reassured.

After all.

He was so cautious, unlike most people these days.

Even to enter a city gate, he had to test, fearing any unexpected problems.

But it's not wrong to be cautious on his first long journey.

Ning Zheng did not linger and passed directly through the teleportation array, surrounded by a white expanse of snow mountains.

He looked down, examining this permanent teleportation array.

"Wow."

After observing for a while, Ning Zheng muttered, "Truly the work of wealthy folks, using a permanent one right away."

The temporary teleportation arrays established by the Demon Cultivators before for tomb raiding had a transmission limit.

If the entities entering were too powerful, or the quantity or quality of items transmitted were too high, it would wear down the lifespan of the array.

The temporary teleportation array from the City Guard's tomb probably had a month left before it became unusable.

The permanent teleportation array before him, though labeled as permanent, essentially just had a much higher limit.

For the general passage of ordinary people, it might as well be permanent.

However, too powerful beings crossing through would still cause rapid degradation with use.

"Jian Xin probably can only use permanent teleportation arrays for entering and exiting, as temporary ones likely couldn't accommodate him; the teleportation channel would collapse."

In his heart, Ning Zheng immediately understood.

No wonder they had to use the central teleportation array of the State City to enter the capital.

Because ordinary teleportation arrays simply couldn't withstand such a group of formidable figures.

"Hmm, borrowing the permanent teleportation array for a bit shouldn't incur much depletion."

"I just shouldn't conduct frequent back-and-forth teleportation."

"Because the distance to the State City from here is too far, and the wear increases with distance. Without this free teleportation array, I wouldn't even want to come."

"Just using it a few times secretly now shouldn't matter much."

"Overuse and Jian Xin noticing would be awkward."

He sighed inwardly.

"Why am I being a burden to Jian Xin again, I truly don't intend to be a villain."

Ning Zheng started low-altitude flying, steadily moving along the slope.

He cautiously kept an eye on the Qi Fortune Value, and seeing no changes, he sighed in relief.

He indeed wasn't one of those trouble-prone protagonists in stories who attract attention wherever they go.

That would be Jian Xin.

By character design, he was supposed to be the crazy villain plotting against Jian Xin.

He quickly reached his destination and saw the few people, including Dizzy, waiting at the gate.

"Steward." Dizzy's eyes lit up, immediately stepping forward.

"Hmm." Ning Zheng nodded, glanced at them, then looked towards the pedestrians inside the city.

There was always a feeling that something about this gate was amiss.

He pondered for a good while but didn't find anything, so he called them to enter the city together.

Two giant Jiao dragon statues stood by the gate, casting a glance at Ning Zheng and his group, then closed their eyes again.

As they walked down the streets, Ning Zheng immediately noticed the pedestrians, and he suddenly realized the anomaly.

The attributes of everyone's spiritual roots, their life aura, their cultivation realms... all were concealed and hidden.

No trace of their background or origin could be discerned.

"Is this a form of protection?" Ning Zheng mused with interest.

As long as one doesn't engage in combat, no aura can be sensed.

In the city, everyone is equal; royalty and nobility, as well as commoners, appear almost the same at first sight.

No wonder it's a place for scholars, it's quite sophisticated!
