Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 644 - 619 Ten Desolate Fengdu

After listening to Elder Shu Mu's words, Wang Xu had a rough understanding of the Palace of Truth.

"The Palace of Truth is the guardian residence of the Ganges Truth Tree, located in the core region. This means it's the closest place to the Ganges Truth Tree! Perhaps I can start here to investigate the whereabouts of the Seed of Truth, or even find a way to get close to it!" Wang Xu pondered in his heart.

"Elder Shu Mu."

Wang Xu nodded and said, "Your suggestion is indeed good. With my talent, I should not be buried within the main clan. It's time for me to venture into a larger world. Please report to the Clan Leader that I, Tai Xu, will set out in the coming days to the core region, striving to enter the Eternal Truth Palace!"

"That is indeed great!" Elder Shu Mu smiled with satisfaction, flicking out a ring with his finger, "The Clan Leader said that if you agree to go to the Palace of Truth, this ring will be given to you, containing the items you need for your journey to the core region. Additionally, I must remind you, the Palace of Truth is open for only a short decade. It has been a year since the news was received. You must reach there swiftly to catch the opportunity. Do not delay the timing."

"I, Tai Xu, will remember."

Then, Elder Shu Mu took his leave. Wang Xu examined the ring in his hand, a smile appearing on his face.

"As expected of the Copper Medicine main clan, they are indeed generous."

He put away the ring, Wang Xu's figure shifted, continuing to cultivate "Assault."

...

Three months later, upon hearing that Wang Xu was heading to the core region to participate in the Palace of Truth's candidate selection, Copper Medicine Thunder Roar immediately beamed with joy.

"My judgment was indeed correct. With your talent, you are qualified to hone your skills in the Palace of Truth. If you can truly be selected into the Palace of Truth, I believe the entire Copper Medicine main clan will be proud of you!" The City Lord of Copper Medicine said with a smile.

For the City Lord of Copper Medicine, who was like a "father-in-law" to Wang Xu, Wang Xu's rise was nothing but beneficial.

This time, it was the Clan Leader himself who ordered Wang Xu to go, showing how much the Clan Leader valued Wang Xu. With Wang Xu's influence, the lineage of the City Lord of Copper Medicine would naturally receive strong support from the Clan Leader. It might even enter the ancestral temple of the Copper Medicine main clan, becoming inheritors of the direct bloodline!

"Wang Xu, are you leaving?"

Hearing that Wang Xu was heading to the core region, everyone, including the City Lord of Copper Medicine, was very happy. Only Copper Medicine Ye Rong wasn't as happy. Just thinking about Wang Xu not being by her side in the future, she felt an inexplicable emptiness, as if something important had been lost.

"You don't want me to leave?" Wang Xu had a teasing smile on his face, asking in return.

"Go, go, go! Who doesn't want you to leave? Hurry up and go!" Copper Medicine Ye Rong's little face turned red, pushing Wang Xu forward.

Wang Xu smiled slightly, glanced at everyone, and waved, "Everyone, goodbye."

"Tai Xu, take care!"

"Safe travels!"

The fierce flying beast flapped its wings, carrying Wang Xu into the sky, soaring towards the horizon.

Watching Wang Xu's figure gradually recede, Copper Medicine Ye Rong's eyes brimmed with tears that couldn't stop flowing down her face.

"Ye Rong, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, the wind is strong, some sand got into my eyes."

...

Wang Xu left the main clan, heading all the way towards the core region.

The further he went, the more powerful people he discovered. Originally, with his cultivation in the Ancient Spirit Realm, he could have been an influential figure in the Third Layer or the Second Layer, but here, he was among the many.

Using the Teleportation Array, Wang Xu pressed on, departing from the Copper Medicine main clan. If he kept using the Teleportation Array continuously, he would only need a year or two to reach the core region.

After all, this is the First Layer, and the teleportation arrays here are much more advanced than those in the Second Layer. The distance covered by teleportation is naturally longer, saving Wang Xu a lot of time.

But this journey was not peaceful. Along the way, he encountered countless robbers, thieves, and bandits, all living by murdering and looting.

Initially, Wang Xu could still contend with some bandits and robbers with his strength, and he even staged counterattacks, seizing numerous treasures and rare materials.

But as he progressed further, the bandits and robbers grew more formidable, ultimately forcing Wang Xu to the brink, where he had to use a Teleportation Talisman to escape death.

Five years later.

In the dense, primitive forest, on a narrow and rugged trail, the ground trembled, the force growing stronger and closer.

This was a huge fierce beast seven meters tall, resembling a rhino, like a towering iron tower.

"Brother Tai Xu, 'Ten Desolate Fengdu' is almost here!" shouted an Emperor Spirit Realm expert in armor, standing atop the rhino fierce beast's head.

The black-robed figure sitting cross-legged on the back of the rhino fierce beast heard the call, coming out of his cultivation state, and slowly opened his eyes.

This person was none other than Wang Xu.

Back then, after barely escaping with a Teleportation Talisman, he recuperated for some time, during which he learned about a special existence called the "Guard Team."

This is a team composed of powerhouses, whose profession is to escort treasures or important figures. As long as you can pay enough reward, you are their employer, and they will escort you to your destination, even at the cost of their lives.

For his own safety, Wang Xu used all his money and valuable treasures, successfully hiring a guard team composed of thirteen Emperor Spirit Realm individuals, to escort him to the largest and most prosperous city in the core region — Ten Desolate Fengdu.

Ten Desolate Fengdu is the largest and most prosperous city in the Ganges Realm and almost represents the entire Ganges Realm.

Here, countless great powers are stationed, standing on equal footing, strong individuals gather, and are at odds with each other. Here, as long as you have strength, everyone will respect you, and you will truly stand at the pinnacle of the Ganges Realm!

On the contrary, if you lack strength, what awaits you is ruthless slaughter, and all the wealth on you becomes someone else's possession.

This shows that the Ten Desolate Fengdu is simply a miniature version of the Ganges Realm, where everything is vividly reflected.

"That is the Ten Desolate Fengdu."

Wang Xu stood on the horn of the Rhino Fierce Beast, gazing into the distance at the massive structure gradually emerging on the horizon.

This city, which seems to occupy heaven and earth with an incomparably vast territory, is the most representative place in the Ganges Realm, the Ten Desolate Fengdu.

"Tai Xu brother, we will escort you just to here."

The Rhino Fierce Beast stopped, and the leader of the Guard Team said.

"Alright, we bid farewell here. Thank you for escorting me all the way. This is what you deserve." Wang Xu flicked his finger, and a ring fell into the hand of the Guard Team leader.

"Thank you, Tai Xu brother, till we meet again!"

Watching the Rhino Fierce Beast depart, Wang Xu turned around, took a step, and swiftly headed towards the Ten Desolate Fengdu. Before leaving, he seemed to notice something and glanced at the bushes on both sides, revealing a playful smile.

"Damn! How can this guy's body technique speed be so fast!" In a flash, Wang Xu's figure was just a black dot, barely visible, and several robust figures leaped out of the bushes on both sides, exclaiming angrily.

"At the pinnacle of the Ancient Spirit Realm, yet possessing a body technique speed surpassing even we in the Early Stage of the Emperor Spirit Realm, this person must have a significant background, can't be provoked!" One figure said in a deep voice.

"Could he be a descendant of a family from the Ten Desolate Fengdu?" As if convinced by their thoughts, several robust figures exchanged a glance and hurriedly turned and disappeared into the bushes, leaving the place.

...

Wang Xu did not waste these five years; the truth secret technique "Assault," although only a fragment, still endowed him with a formidable body technique rivaling the Middle Stage of the Emperor Spirit Realm.

In just a moment, Wang Xu arrived.

"Ten Desolate Fengdu!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The grand and towering city gates stood before Wang Xu. He looked up and saw the prominent and striking four characters—Ten Desolate Fengdu.

There were no guards at the sides of the city gates, only a few people meditating cross-legged, engaged in cultivation.

No need to ask, they must be sentinels from various prominent families. These are the visible ones; there must be more people in the dark watching him. Presumably, by now, the news of his arrival at the Ten Desolate Fengdu has already reached the ears of these families.

"This is indeed the Ten Desolate Fengdu, truly prosperous!"

Wang Xu entered the bustling streets, with high buildings on both sides resembling iron towers, each several dozen or even a hundred meters high, not inferior to the skyscrapers on Earth.

There were even uniquely shaped palace mansions floating in the sky, surrounded by rainbow-colored light, causing people to look up in admiration.

"These palace mansions must be the lands of the illustrious families entrenched in the Ten Desolate Fengdu. Only they could have such prestige in the invaluable Ten Desolate Fengdu." Wang Xu pondered in his heart.

For any entity in the Ganges Realm who had never seen such a scene, this was already enough to amaze, but to Wang Xu, at most, it merely aroused curiosity, incomparable to the architectures in the Chaos.

However, when night fell, Wang Xu was astounded by the scene before him!

"That is... the Ganges Truth Tree!"

In the past, Wang Xu often saw Ganges Truth Trees that resembled ordinary big trees, with nothing exceptional except their enormous size.

But now, Wang Xu saw the true Ganges Truth Tree under the night sky!

The densely packed leaf patterns and every vein within the trunk intertwined like starlight drawn across the sky, weaving a vast net filled with an aura of mystery and profundity!

As if woven into a web covering the entire sky above the Ten Desolate Fengdu, Wang Xu felt as if he had returned to the Ancient Luo Cosmos and to the Chaos.

This is the true form of the Ganges Truth Tree!

Bathed in the starlight, Wang Xu relaxed his mind, feeling as if he was drifting in the vastness of the cosmos, with no worries or troubles.

Until the starlit night passed, and at dawn, a copper bell's resounding sound awakened Wang Xu.

"Dong~~~~"

The lingering bell sound jolted Wang Xu's mind. He leaped up, standing atop a building dozens of stories high, gazing into the distance.

"Rumble rumble..."

Across a thousand miles, Wang Xu saw a door standing solitary on the ground, slowly being pushed open by some force, the sound of it being opened traveled across a thousand miles to Wang Xu's ears.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

In the next moment, countless swift figures from these tall buildings moved like locusts towards the place where the bell sound and the door were located!

"That must be the Gate of Truth for sure!" Wang Xu immediately understood and instantly joined the swarming crowd, quickly approaching the place where the gate was.

A thousand-mile distance, at Wang Xu's current body technique, could be covered in less than a quarter of an hour.

"...The selection rules of the Eternal Truth Palace are simple: just touch this secret scripture with your hand. If the scripture lights up, you gain the qualification to pass through the Gate of Truth and join the Palace of Truth!"

Just as Wang Xu arrived, he already heard someone explaining the selection rules. (To be continued.
