C372 Teng Long City
C372 Teng Long City
They could only see a trace of emotion flashing across Sun Bing's eyes. After that, he said in a soft voice. "We have finally arrived here. I didn't expect to miss this opportunity."
When he thought of this, Sun Bing couldn't help feeling embarrassed. After all, the Shen State was just too big. Even though Hong Kai had already given him some guidance, he still couldn't help feeling awkward. However, Sun Bing wasn't familiar with this place.
Furthermore, his speed was too fast, and there were even problems with deviation in many directions. If he kept walking in that direction, he would not be able to reach here in the end.
However, it was a good thing that the battle of the Prodigy Roll was well-known throughout the entire Shen State. Almost everyone was very clear about this. Along the way, they were able to meet countless cultivators who were rushing towards this place.
Therefore, if one sensed that they had lost their way, they would only need to ask the passers-by to know everything. It was because of this reason that Sun Bing had finally arrived. Otherwise, he would have arrived at this place. He would never have another chance in his life.
After all, the requirement of the Prodigy Roll was to be below 20 years old. Currently, Sun Bing was basically 18 years old. Three years later, he had completely surpassed this limit. If he couldn't participate in such a grand event, not only would he be missing a huge opportunity, he might even regret it for the rest of his life.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Sun Bing's heart was filled with emotion. It was a charred land. Looking into the distance, one could see the mottled city walls. After noticing the environment here, Sun Bing's mind couldn't help but recall Hong Kai's introduction of this place.
The Prodigy Roll was located in an ancient city. Although he didn't know its original name, because of the Prodigy Roll, he slowly obtained a message. The name of this city was Teng Long City, which meant that after entering the Prodigy Roll, one would be akin to a giant dragon that was about to soar into the sky.
Teng Long City was not usually opened. In fact, it was a famous forbidden place in the surrounding tens of thousands of miles. Not a single blade of grass grew on the charred land, and there were even traces of broken inscription patterns on it. There was even a thick killing intent hidden within. An ordinary person would not walk more than a hundred meters into the city. Even if his or her cultivation level was high, he or she could die instantly. However, it was impossible for him to stay there for long.
However, since ancient times, basically every three years, the seal that was sealed within this dangerous land would slowly fade away, and finally completely dissipate. There was about half a month's time within this period of time, and it was also the time for the Prodigy Roll to be held.
After stepping onto the charred land, Sun Bing's eyes couldn't help but flash with a trace of profoundness. When he heard Hong Kai's words, he could only nod his head in agreement, but his heart was still filled with a trace of disbelief.
However, now that he was in this place, he finally understood that what he said was true. In fact, this place was even more dangerous than what others had imagined. Even though the seal had been slowly removed, cultivators with lower cultivation base were still unable to enter.
Furthermore, in Sun Bing's eyes, this place was showing a completely different scene. The lines on the ground were impressively energy symbols, and there were even broken inscriptions among them. There was also a thick murderous aura hidden within, and in short, it was quite dangerous. It was countless times more terrifying than the terrain of equality that Sun Bing had entered before.
However, it was just as he had said. It was time for the seal to loosen. Therefore, the inscriptions in the void, for some reason, gradually faded away. Even ordinary array masters were unable to notice the difference.
Since he had already determined that he was safe enough, Sun Bing did not have much time to waste. He looked around at his surroundings. At the same time, he silently calculated in his heart. After that, he slowly nodded and immediately used the Ground Shrink technique to rush to the Soaring Dragon City.
There were originally some rogue cultivators that were watching the show. However, in the next instant, he discovered that Sun Bing had suddenly disappeared. His face looked like he had seen a ghost.
Although this place was still quite a distance away from the Rising Dragon City, compared to the Hundred Thousand Mountains, it was still quite close. It was nothing to Sun Bing.
The closer he got to this legendary ancient city, the more desolate it was. The entire city seemed to be an inseparable entity, and the Qi it emitted was extremely heavy.
This city was larger than any city Sun Bing had ever seen before. Even Darklight City in Tianyun City was far from being comparable to it. The inscription engraved on the city wall could not be deciphered by Sun Bing at this moment. The entire city was lying there like a ferocious beast that had restrained its aura.
The closer he got, the more he could see the terrifying will lingering on the city wall. One must know that when a cultivator's cultivation base was extremely high, every move, every drop of blood, and every strand of hair contained his own will.
After that, all of them were imprinted on the city wall. The mottled marks that were left behind were incomparably vast. Even though Sun Bing had already comprehended the Sword Meaning, he still felt somewhat caught off guard.
Fortunately, Sun Bing's spiritual will was quite firm. In just a short moment, he had completely recovered. A trace of fear flashed across his eyes. However, when he looked at the surrounding rogue cultivators, he did not feel this way at all.
After discovering this obvious problem, Sun Bing couldn't help but hide this doubt deep in his heart. He believed that there must be a monstrous secret hidden within it. However, at this moment, Sun Bing didn't have the strength to understand it.
A moment later, the mottled city gate was right in front of him. The cultivators who came and went couldn't help but grow bigger. However, what made Sun Bing puzzled was that there were a lot of people gathered on both sides of the city gate. They didn't block the way or do anything else.
When Sun Bing walked in, he could hear exclamations coming from within. "That person was ranked 863rd on the prodigy roll three years ago. His cultivation base wasn't weak, and he was especially good at using the pugilistic arts. He had almost reached the perfection, and there was even news about him recently. It seemed like he had broken through to the Late Reborn Stage, but no one knew what rank he would get this time."
" This man... "
Sun Bing immediately understood the situation in this place. He didn't expect these people to be guarding this place, waiting for the arrival of those geniuses. Basically, anyone who had reached the top one thousand of the prodigy roll three years ago would be recognized.
Regarding such a scene, Sun Bing smiled slightly. He didn't expect to appear once again in Soaring Dragon City. However, he didn't really hate it. After all, he had obtained a lot of information from such an explanation.
Of course, Sun Bing didn't need to continue listening to the information. After all, he was confident enough. Currently, there were very few people who could pose a threat to him on the prodigy roll. Most of them had already witnessed it in the previous auction.
A faint smile emerged on his face. Without much hesitation, he immediately walked towards the mottled ancient city that had been occupied for countless of years, quietly experiencing the hidden history within.
However, just as Sun Bing's figure appeared, he could hear a voice coming from the rogue cultivators below.
"I don't know who this person is, but it's rumoured that his background isn't small. During the last auction, he entered with two invitation letters. As for his strength, I don't know how terrifying it is, but I think he must be a young genius."
These words made Sun Bing smile bitterly. He thought that he should be a nobody, but he didn't expect that he would be recognized so quickly. His words were even quite detailed. It really made people exclaim about his ability to search.
Sun Bing sighed slightly in his heart. He didn't make any other movements. After that, he slowly walked towards the Flying Dragon City.
