Along the way, Wang Yi did not know exactly how far he traveled.

He only remembered that after Cang City completely disappeared from his sight, he encountered a few other giant cities.

One of the giant cities left the deepest impression on him. It was at least ten times larger than Cang City, and its walls were also much larger.

The characters “Langya” were carved on the top of the city gate. It contained a powerful spiritual pressure. It must have been written by a top expert.

Initially, Wang Yi thought that since he had already arrived, he might as well just directly enter the city and kill Zhao Tianlin to end everything once and for all. It would also solve the Su Family’s troubles and save their enemy the trouble of coming to Cang City to cause trouble again.

However, in a daze, Wang Yi sensed a powerful aura rising within the city. Even in the dark night, it was as dazzling as the sun.

Of course, only those who were powerful enough would be able to sense it. Ordinary people would not sense it at all.

Wang Yi could vaguely sense a fatal threat from the aura. There was also a sense of familiarity. It was like the aura emitted by the Connate Phala in the Phala Space.

It was the Connate Realm!

Unexpectedly, there was a Connate-Realm expert hidden within Langya County City.

After that, Wang Yi felt relieved once again. With his own strength, he might not be invincible among those of the same level, but it wouldn’t be easy for him to lose either, let alone be in fatal danger.

Most likely, only a Connate-Realm expert who had changed the essence of his life and reversed his acquired qualities could give him such pressure.

This also dispelled Wang Yi’s idea of entering the city to kill Zhao Tianlin.

If he barged into a city protected by a Connate-Realm expert to kill a grandmaster…

It would be completely different though if Zhao Tianlin left the city and was killed outside by others because of personal grudges

If he tried to kill Zhao Tianlin inside the city, the Connate-Realm expert would step out to stop him. Even if he could kill Zhao Tianlin before that person made a move, he would still have to face the pursuit of a Connate-Realm expert.

After all, this concerned the pride of a Connate-Realm expert.

However, the latter was different. In the martial world, this was how it was. In the jungle, the strong were revered. It was also normal for martial artists to have grudges with each other.

Furthermore, a Rank-9 great grandmaster was at the final stage of the nine-rank system. If they took another step forward, they could change the essence of their lives and reverse their acquired teachings to return to their natural state.

That Connate-Realm expert would not kill or offend an existence like Wang Yi because of a personal grudge between martial artists and a Rank-7 grandmaster.

In any case, Wang Yi was still lacking in strength. If his Dragon Elephant Wisdom Technique had reached Level-13, and he had successfully plucked the Connate Phala and integrated it into his body, then there was no need to have so many considerations.

Even if he directly charged into the city and killed Zhao Tianlin, what could that person do?

Even if he dared to fight to the death with Wang Yi, Wang Yi might not be afraid to do so!

Since they were both Connate-Realm warriors, it was not clear who was stronger and who would win. Only after one battle would it be clear.

Unfortunately, these were all what-ifs. After all, Wang Yi was still in the nine-rank system and had not taken that step yet.

However, it did not matter. After all, he did not come here specifically for Zhao Tianlin. He just happened to pass by Langya County City and conveniently found his target.

It would be best if he could kill Zhao Tianlin, but it didn’t matter if he couldn’t.

However, this also served as a warning to Wang Yi. In the world of martial arts, strength was the heaviest foundation.

At the same time, his complacency, laxness, and other emotions he had felt when he had broken through to peak Rank-9 have been completely wiped out.

Far away from Langya County City, Wang Yi continued to venture deeper into the wilderness. During this period of time, he hunted quite a number of ferocious beasts. In the boundless system space, there was a small mountain of corpses.

Almost all the top-tier beasts recorded in the Spiritual Food Catalog had been hunted down by Wang Yi.

The levels of the beasts also varied. The lowest-leveled beast was not even at Rank-1, while the highest-leveled beast was equivalent to a Rank-7 human grandmaster.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t a single vicious beast above Rank-7. Wang Yi only managed to find one Rank-7 beast, and he found it deep in the wilderness far from the giant cities.

This was probably due to the deterrence brought by the various giant cities. In addition, there was a Connate-Realm expert in Langya County City, which was why some powerful beasts did not dare to approach the city.

After all, although the overall strength of the beasts was slightly greater than humans, they were only stronger in the middle and lower levels. The high-leveled beasts were almost on the same standing as similarly ranked humans.

Right now, both sides had already formed a delicate balance and possessed a type of tacit understanding. They were both cultivating, resting, and quietly developing.

Even if there were disputes, they would be among humans and creatures below the Connate Realm. It could be considered as training for soldiers. Both sides never dared to go too far, nor had there been a massacre of cities.

After all, if the weak humans were to be massacred, it would incite the extreme experts to go crazy. The beasts would not be able to withstand them then.

No one was willing to be the first to break this rare development period.

Eh!

Wang Yi, who was still moving forward, suddenly let out a soft gasp. He stopped in his tracks and looked into the distance. Then, his face was filled with ecstasy.

Ten thousand meters away, there was a steep mountain peak that was like a peerless sword. It had a majestic aura that pierced straight into the sky. The mountain peak was hidden among the clouds.

There was a seven-colored flower on the peak. The flower had seven petals, and each petal had a different color. Furthermore, each petal was enshrouded in a hazy glow. The flower was extraordinary, causing it to look even more beautiful and mysterious.

Thankfully, Wang Yi was strong enough and his vision had been enhanced too many times. Thus, the night for him was as bright as day. Otherwise, he might not have noticed the seven-colored flower and the unique glow that it exuded.

In an instant, Wang Yi disappeared from his original spot. His figure flickered a few times, and when he reappeared, he was already at the foot of the mountain.

When he arrived at the foot of the mountain and looked up, the strong visual impact was different from when he was looking at the mountain from afar.

Beneath his feet, he could feel how tiny he was. He was like an ant looking at the sky.

This was just like on the road of martial arts. Every time his cultivation reached a peak, he would discover that there were even higher peaks waiting to be climbed, waiting to be conquered. There was no limit to martial arts, and one had to constantly advance and chase after the next peaks.

Wang Yi did not stay at the foot of the mountain for long as he sped towards the top of the mountain. The mountain path was winding and steep, and one wrong step would lead him to a bottomless abyss.

However, Wang Yi moved as if he was walking on flat ground.

The mountain was shrouded by countless unknown trees. The canopy of the trees covered the entire sky. As a result, one could not see the sky at all from within the forest. It was as if one had entered another world.

The roots of the old tree were like pythons that messily intertwined with one another.

However, as Wang Yi continued to move forward, the number of trees gradually decreased. About halfway up the mountain, there was no longer any trace of green. Only the brown surface of the mountain was left. Furthermore, it became even steeper.

Not long after, Wang Yi leaped into the air and appeared at the peak of the mountain.

He looked at everything in front of him and had a feeling that it was unreal. The entire mountain peak was as smooth as a mirror. The distance between the foot and the peak of the mountain was more than ten miles. The entire length could span a small town.

Perhaps it was more appropriate to call this place the middle of the mountain.

This was because it was as if someone had horizontally cut the mountain peak in half with a saber. The surface of the mountain was as smooth as a mirror.

Wang Yi couldn’t imagine what kind of power was needed to achieve this.

Looking up into the distance, Wang Yi’s eyes grew brighter.

That’s right, it was really it!

It was the Seven-Colored Heaven Ascension Stage!
