The imperial capital was the center of power in China, and it was also the most prosperous place in China.
This was also the place where countless young people pursued their dreams.
The cloud boat was getting closer and closer to the imperial capital, and the imperial capital was becoming clearer and clearer in everyone's sight.
"Guo Xu, my young friend," Everlasting War suddenly said,"The Imperial Capital is a chaotic place. You have to be tactful when you do things. Otherwise, there might be a lot of trouble!"”
Guo Xu nodded." I won't cause trouble!”
Everlasting War shook his head and smiled." It's not that I'm afraid you'll cause trouble. It's just that this place is really a mix of dragons and snakes. Even as the City Lord, I have to be careful here, afraid of offending someone I shouldn't.”
As he spoke, he looked at Guo Xu."Guo Xu, my young friend, it's not enough to not cause trouble here. If you can, make more friends. It will be very beneficial for you."”
Make friends!
Guo Xu nodded. He naturally understood the benefits of having another friend.
The cloud ship was getting closer and closer to the imperial capital. From where they were, they could see the imperial capital clearly. The imperial capital wasn't very large, with a population of about a million. The city was also very old, obviously having a certain amount of history.
However, this place was extremely prosperous!
Before they even got close, countless cloud ships entered the Imperial Capital and left.
Guo Xu looked at the scene in the sky and said softly,"It's so lively!”
"It'll be even livelier inside!" Everlasting War laughed.”
Guo Xu nodded. He was also a little curious about the Imperial City in front of him.
The cloud boat suddenly stopped when it was only a few meters away from the imperial capital. Then, it slowly descended. Below the cloud boat was a huge river region. In the river region, there were at least ten cloud boats. It was very spectacular!
At this moment, a voice sounded in the field,"We have arrived at the capital. Please get ready to disembark!"”
Guo Xu turned around and returned to his room. Seeing that Guo Ying was still asleep, he did not wake her up. Instead, he carried her on his back and came to the deck of the cloud ship.
Everlasting War glanced at Guo Xu and smiled.”
Guo Xu nodded." Sorry to bother you.”
Upon hearing Guo Xu's words, the little fatty Zhan Tian immediately beamed with joy. He was already bored coming to the Imperial Capital alone, and now that he had two companions, he was naturally happy.
The cloud boat slowly descended. Soon, the cloud boat stopped steadily on the river. A long ladder was erected on the green side of the cloud boat, and countless people walked down from the cloud boat.
Guo Xu carried his sister off the cloud ship and followed Everlasting War to the city gate.
On the cloud boat, Sima Jing looked at Guo Xu's back and said softly,"I'm afraid the Holy Blue Institute won't be peaceful anymore."”
Beside Sima Jing, an old man said in a deep voice,"Why didn't Young Lady express her goodwill to him?"”
Sima Jing shook her head,"I've already missed the best opportunity. If I go and befriend him now, I'll just be asking for humiliation."”
As she spoke, she raised her head to look at the Imperial Capital in the distance and said softly,"Now, only by joining the Holy Blue Institute can we have a glimmer of hope…"
Guo Xu looked at the city gate in front of him and felt a little emotional. At this moment, he realized how small the Heaven's Wall City was. The city gate of the Heaven's Wall City was not even one-tenth the size of the city gate in front of him!
This was a real city. The Heaven's Wall City was not even a city!
After entering the city gate, Guo Xu's first impression was that it was big. The road under his feet was at least ten feet wide, and the surrounding buildings were well-arranged. There was no sense of blockage, and it looked extremely comfortable. The second feeling was that it was lively. The city was bustling with traffic and the voices of people were noisy. If one spoke softly, it would be difficult to hear.
At this time, Guo Ying also woke up.
Guo Ying looked around in amazement." Brother, this place is much livelier than our Heaven's Wall City!”
"Senior Zhan, where is this Holy Blue Academy?"”
Everlasting War smiled."Little Friend Guo, don't worry. The Holy Blue Institute will only begin recruiting in ten days. At this stage, the Holy Blue Institute is not open to the public, so there's no point in you going now." You can stay in my mansion first and rest for a few days. When you are fully prepared, you can go to Holy Blue Institute with my son.”
Guo Xu nodded." Of course!”
Under Everlasting War's lead, the group arrived at a mansion. The mansion was very large and luxurious, which was normal. After all, Everlasting War was the lord of a city.
Everlasting War had arranged for Guo Xu and his sister to have a separate courtyard, and he had also arranged for three of them, which made Guo Xu feel a little embarrassed.
After entering the courtyard, Guo Ying fell asleep again in less than an hour.
Seeing this scene, Guo Xu's heart sank.
Guo Ying might sleep for 12 hours a day!
This was definitely abnormal!
After covering Guo Ying with the quilt, Guo Xu left the room and went to the courtyard.
ten days
The Holy Blue Institute was where his hope lay.
However, he was still a little worried, because he had not reached the Qi Controlling Realm yet, and the minimum requirement for Holy Blue Academy to accept students was the Qi Controlling Realm!
As if he had thought of something, he took out a white jade pendant. This was a gift from Bai Ling 'er. If he really couldn't do it, he could only use this jade pendant, although he really wanted to enter the Holy Blue Institute with his own strength!
Spiritual sword!
Guo Xu knew that after entering the Holy Blue Institute, he would have to start working on the spirit sword.
He was different from others. If he wanted to improve his realm, he could only find a Spiritual Sword to devour. Even if there was, how expensive would it be? With his current status, he probably couldn't even afford a single hair!
Only now did he deeply understand how difficult it was for ordinary people to cultivate!
Cultivation!
Guo Xu entered the Linglong Tower. He didn't practice with the shadow. The shadow was no longer his opponent. What he needed to do now was to master the fighting spirit. He hadn't fully understood this illusory battle intent!
Time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, there were only two days left before the Holy Blue Institute's enrollment. Inside the Linglong Pagoda, Guo Xu clenched his fists. An invisible force was vibrating on his fists.
Battle intent!
Now, he did not need to rely on a sword to determine his life and death to fight against a Void Realm expert. Now, he could fight against a Void Realm expert with just his fighting spirit. However, he did not know if he could win.
The only pity was that what he comprehended was not sword intent. Otherwise, he would not have any pressure against a Void Realm expert!
An hour later, Guo Xu left the Linglong Pagoda.
This was because Everlasting War had arrived at their small courtyard. When he saw Guo Xu, Lu Xiaoran smiled and said,"Little friend, have you been living here recently?"”
Guo Xu smiled and said,"To be honest, my sister and I have never lived in such a good place!"”
Everlasting War laughed."Little friend, you sure know how to joke. Right, there's a banquet tonight. If you have time, you can bring your sister along with me."”
"Banquet?"
Guo Xu was stunned and then asked,"What banquet?"”
Everlasting War smiled,"A banquet organized by the First Prince of the Imperial Capital. Every time the Holy Blue Institute recruits students, geniuses from all over China will come to the Imperial Capital. The Imperial Family of China naturally doesn't underestimate these geniuses, so His Majesty will send a prince to receive these geniuses in his place."”
Guo Xu pondered for a moment, then said,"It shouldn't be anyone who can participate, right?"”
Everlasting War nodded." Of course. Only those with status and strength are qualified to attend this banquet. In other words, anyone who can attend this banquet will have a 100% chance of entering the Holy Blue Court. Otherwise, the higher-ups will not invite them.”
Guo Xu smiled bitterly." Senior, I didn't receive an invitation!”
Everlasting War said seriously,"Little friend, you can come with me. As for the invitation, I'll just invite you." If possible, it's better to go to Zhao. Those who go are all geniuses of this year. If you can make friends with them, it'll be good for you. What do you think?”
Guo Xu thought for a moment and then nodded.
As Everlasting War had said, it was good to befriend some people. Swordsmen did not have to be alone. Moreover, he also wanted to see the geniuses of China!
Everlasting War nodded and smiled." Then please get ready, young friend. We'll set off later!"”
After saying that, he turned and left.
Guo Xu returned to his room. At this time, Guo Ying also woke up.
Guo Xu walked up to Guo Ying and gently rubbed Guo Ying's cheek. He said softly,"Don't sleep later. I'll take you to eat and drink!"”
Guo Ying blinked and then smiled brightly!
Guo Xu gently scratched Guo Ying's little nose." Go wash your face. We'll set off immediately!”
An hour later, Everlasting War left the mansion with Guo Xu, his sister, and the others. Soon, they arrived at a restaurant in the city center.
Xianke Tower
Immortal Guest Restaurant was the largest restaurant in the Imperial Capital. It occupied an area of nearly 100 square meters and had a total of six floors. The outer layer was plated with gold and was extremely luxurious. And this restaurant was the property of the Immortal Gazing Residence.
Seeing this restaurant, Guo Xu and his sister were shocked.
When had they ever seen such a big and luxurious restaurant?
Not to mention them, even the little fatty Zhan Tian was a little shocked. There was no such big restaurant in the Great Bright City.
Everlasting War laughed when he saw the three's expressions. This isn't the most important thing. You'll see more of the world in the future and you'll realize that there's nothing strange about this world!
Guo Xu nodded. He deeply agreed with this point!
Fortunately, he had left the Heaven's Wall City. Otherwise, he would have been sitting in a well and looking at the sky for the rest of his life!
Everlasting War led the three of them into Immortal Guest Restaurant. A beautiful woman immediately came forward to welcome them," Are you City Lord Zhan?”
Everlasting War nodded.
The woman smiled sweetly."There's still an hour before the banquet. The First Prince has already arranged some entertainment activities for City Lord Zhan. City Lord Zhan, do you want to try?"
Everlasting War's face reddened and he quickly shook his head."No need. Take me to the First Prince."”
The woman nodded and led Everlasting War and Guo Xu upstairs. When they reached the fourth floor, the Guo siblings were stunned by what they saw.
The fourth floor was like a square. It was very big, even bigger than the entire Guo family. It was extremely luxurious inside, surrounded by golden splendor, like a palace. Even under their feet, there was a thick layer of animal skin. It was soft and comfortable to step on.
Wow!
On the side, the little fatty Zhan Tian suddenly stepped on the beast skin under his feet and exclaimed,"Father, this is the beast skin of a red tiger! This beast skin costs at least several hundred gold coins, and there are at least several tens of thousands here…Damn it, this Celestial Gazing Residence is richer than our family!"”
Hearing this, Guo Xu and Guo Ying looked at each other. Guo Xu shook his head and smiled.”
Everlasting War smiled." Little friend, this Immortal Gazing Residence is as rich as a country. Even the royal family is not as rich as them. He looked into the distance and said," Little friend, wait a moment. I'll be right back!"”
After saying that, he quickly walked into the distance.
At this moment, a young man walked over. The young man cupped his fists at Guo Xu.”
Guo Xu nodded and cupped his fists in return.”
The young man smiled and said,"I'm Yu Bu 'er, the heir of the Yu Family in Xiachuan City. May I ask who you are?"”
Guo Xu smiled and said,"Heaven's Wall City's Guo Xu, a rogue cultivator!
"Rogue cultivator?"
The young man was slightly startled. He then looked at Guo Xu,"You're a rogue cultivator?"”
Guo Xu nodded." That's right!"
The young man's expression turned cold.”
With that, he turned around and left.
The young man walked to the side and cupped his fists at one of the men."I'm Yu Bu 'er, the heir of the Yu Family in Xiachuan City.”
The man cupped his fists and returned the greeting." I am Mo Xiao, the heir of the Mo family in Yue City!”
Hearing this, the young man was shocked."Is it the Mo family that owns dozens of gold mines?"”
The man nodded." Yes!"
The young man pulled the man's arm and smiled, saying,"Brother Mo, we've hit it off today. Come, let's drink a few cups…"
