Chapter 1412: Genix Garden
Not long after, Liu Ming, accompanied by Qing Gu and others, walked toward the flying boat on the square.
It was early morning now.
“Greetings, family master.” When more than a dozen Qing Family disciples saw Liu Ming arriving, they quickly bowed to Liu Ming.
Liu Ming smiled slightly and waved to excuse them.
Most of these dozen people were at the Real Pellet State. The one with the highest cultivation among them was standing at the front. It was a young man with a square face whose cultivation had reached the realm of Real Pellet State perfect stage.
“So you are Qing Yu?” Liu Ming glanced at the young man and said faintly.
Qing Yu was the disciple that Qing Gu and others had been most interested in in recent years. Liu Ming had heard Qing Yu’s name occasionally. He had felt this disciple’s profound aura from a distance, so he made this guess.
“Qing Yu greets family master.” Qing Yu didn’t expect Liu Ming to know his name. He bowed again with a somewhat excited expression.
Liu Ming usually kept a low profile and rarely walked around the family. Although all Qing Family disciples respected Liu Ming as a G.o.d, very few of them had seen Liu Ming.
“No need to be courteous. It’s getting late. We should move now.” Liu Ming smiled slightly and flew onto the flying boat. Qing Yu and others hurriedly followed.
“We wish family master a smooth trip.” Qing Gu and others bowed and bowed.
Liu Ming smiled bitterly in his mind as he didn’t know how would this trip to the Central Imperial City end up.
After a while, the flying boat turned into a magnificent green light and flew toward the distance.
…
Liu Ming ignored the trivial matters along the way. Not long after leaving Moyun Valley, he directly handed over the control of the flying boat to Qing Yu. Then, he entered an exquisite cabin on the highest floor behind the flying boat and stayed behind closed doors all day.
The flying boat flew quietly along the way without encountering any troubles. It only occasionally stopped at some cities along the way.
The closer they got to Yu State, the denser the flow of people in the city. Most of them were in groups and seemed to be in a hurry. Most of these people were embroidered with the emblems of major families. It seemed that most of them were going to pay tribute to the Central Imperial City.
In recent years, although the Liu Family rebelled and occupied several states, generally speaking, the Central Imperial had the absolute upper hand. No matter what the aristocratic families in various places were doing in private, they would not offend the Central by skipping the mere tribute.
Therefore, although this tribute was not as lively as in the past, it was still a rare event in a hundred years.
More than half a month pa.s.sed, and the Qing Family’s flying boat arrived at Yu State without encountering any incident.
After entering Yu State, there were naturally more tribute teams encountered on the way.
At this time, Liu Ming no longer stayed trained behind closed doors. He stood in front of the boat and looked forward.
Speaking of which, Yu State was worthy of being the capital of Central Imperial. It was the most prosperous state among the 33 states and counties. The cities in it were numerous. Almost every few thousand miles, one could see a big city.
“Family Master, we should be arriving soon, right?” Qing Yu stood respectfully behind Liu Ming and asked in a low voice.
Liu Ming looked northwest and nodded without saying.
Liu Ming had always been quite mysterious in the eyes of the lower rank members of the family, and Liu Ming always gave them a solemn feeling, so Qing Yu was very uneasy when he was chosen to escort the tribute with Liu Ming.
But Liu Ming did not impose any rules on him at all. He even solved Qing Yu’s confusion in cultivation from time to time.
With Liu Ming’s current level of cultivation and vision, just giving him a few pointers would naturally be of endless benefit.
Although he was still in awe of Liu Ming, he also had a hint of admiration for Liu Ming.
Near the Qing Family’s flying boat, some large flying weapons flew in the northwest direction. Naturally, there were tribute teams from all over the place.
Buzz buzz buzz...
A low buzzing sound came from behind.
Liu Ming and Qing Yu looked back. They saw a blood-colored giant flying boat in the distance.
This airship was hundreds of meters long with large blood-colored flags on it. There were rows of wing-like oars on both sides. With a seemingly light stroke, the blood-colored clouds on both sides would violently roll, and the flying boat would fly hundreds of meters forward.
In just a dozen seconds, the blood-colored flying boat surpa.s.sed the Qing Family’s small flying boat.
“Family master, look at the flag on the flying boat. Could it be…” Qing Yu looked at the big flags of the blood-colored flying boat in front and blurted out. The flag was embroidered with a blood-colored peac.o.c.k-like pattern.
“Yes, that should be the tribute team of the Kongxiang Family.” Liu Ming nodded slightly.
Qing Yu took a deep breath. The 4 great families had extraordinary status. Small families like the Qing Family needed to look up to them.
“Nothing to make a fuss about. You will even see Demon Emperor in a few days.” Liu Ming said nonchalantly.
“Yes.” Qing Yu’s heart trembled when he heard this, and he hurriedly responded respectfully.
Liu Ming looked at the Kongxiang Family boat that was gradually going away while thinking with his eyes flickering.
After another 8 days, the Qing Family finally arrived at the northwest of Yu State, which was in front of the Central Imperial City.
From a distance, the entire Imperial City was surrounded by mountains and rivers. It covered an area of thousands of miles. The tall city wall was like a giant dragon, winding into a hexagon to protect the entire Imperial City.
In this situation, even though Liu Ming had traveled to numerous continents, he was still deeply shocked.
Qing Yu and other Qing Family disciples were even more stunned.
The Central Imperial City was huge and the architecture was more than ten thousand times magnificent than that of the Qing Family.
On the north side of Imperial City, there was a green mountain peak 30,000 meters high. It stretched for thousands of miles. On the east and west sides were two moats spanning more than 10,000 miles.
Only the south city gate was open. The city gate stretched for more than a thousand miles. As far as they could see inside and outside the city gate, there were imperial guards every 10 steps.
The entire Central Imperial City was surrounded by water on 2 sides and mountains on one side. Only the south side was accessible. Those who were going to pay tribute to Central Imperial City could naturally only enter from the south side.
In this way, the entire Imperial City was easy to defend. The layout was excellent.
Liu Ming and his party were now hundreds of miles away in mid-air, so they could see the entire city in full view.
In addition to the outermost city wall, there were actually two ring-shaped walls within the city, dividing the entire Central Imperial City into 3 areas.
The outermost area was the widest. It was also the area with the highest population density in the entire Imperial City. Numerous shops and pedestrians could be seen inside, creating a lively and prosperous scene.
The layout of the second area was quite different from the ordinary compact city of Thousands Demons Continent. Although the area was much smaller than the outer city, the buildings built around the city were more than ten times larger than ordinary shops and residences. The innermost area was surrounded by mansions. Each mansion was majestic, showing the extraordinary ident.i.ty and status of the owner. Although it was not as magnificent as the innermost area, Central Imperial City, it was not comparable by ordinary aristocratic families.
The innermost layer was naturally where the Imperial City was located. It was the Demon Emperor Palace where Demon Emperor Huangfu Yong was located.
The Demon Emperor Palace covered an area of more than a thousand miles. There were dozens of interconnecting tower-shaped buildings that towered into the sky. The surrounding black and purple aura made these buildings loom, adding a hint of mystery to the buildings.
The roots of these giant towers were all surrounded by a series of buildings. The number was too large to count.
“We’re finally here.” Liu Ming murmured while looking at the magnificent Central Imperial City in the distance.
Suddenly, Zhao Qianying’s stunning face flashed through his mind, stirring a strange emotion in his heart.
“Let’s go to the city and find a place to stay first.” Liu Ming forced a cough, bringing Qing Yu and others, who were still a little stunned, back to reality.
Qing Yu’s face turned red, and he smiled embarra.s.sedly. He naturally obeyed Liu Ming’s command.
Under Liu Ming’s control, the flying boat landed in an open s.p.a.ce dozens of miles away from the Imperial City.
Liu Ming and others flew to the ground, and the flying boat returned into Liu Ming’s sleeve.
After flying for a while, they finally arrived in front of the south city gate.
Although there was only 1 city gate here, there were many entrances entering the city, more than a dozen. Each one was inspected by Imperial City guards wearing purple armor.
But even so, there was still a long queue at every entrance.
Judging from the costumes, the people queuing up here waiting to enter the city were almost from aristocratic families from all over the world paying tribute to Demon Emperor.
Although the queue was long, the speed of entering the city was not slow. It didn’t take much time before it was Liu Ming’s turn.
“You’re also here to partic.i.p.ate in the tribute ceremony of His Majesty Demon Emperor? Which state are you from? Tell us your name.” A guard leader with Real Pellet State cultivation looked at Liu Ming and his group indifferently and asked sternly. He wasn’t afraid of Liu Ming’s Celestial State cultivation at all.
It wasn’t the guard being arrogant, but almost every family that came to partic.i.p.ate in the tribute ceremony was led by Celestial State elders or even the Mystic Comprehending State great elders. After watching for a long time, the guard naturally wouldn’t care anymore.
“We are the Qing Family in the Quan State Rolling Cloud Mountain Range.” Liu Ming smiled slightly and showed the Qing Family’s family token and the imperial t.i.tle deed of the Moyun Valley.
“Oh, it turns out to be a Quan State family. Please come in. According to the arrangement of the government, your residence is in the Genix Garden in the Second City District. This is the pa.s.s. Take this jade tablet and go to Genix Garden. Someone will arrange accommodation for you as well as explain the matters related to the tribute ceremony later.” After the guard leader checked with Divine Thought, he nodded and handed a purple jade tablet to Liu Ming.
The guard leader used about 3 seconds to finish his words. He must have said similar words countless times in the past few days.
