NOVPUBThe spirit soul gradually immersed itself in the grandness of the vast city before it, breathing materialized into an omnipresent wind, its gaze like fierce sunlight sprinkling into every corner of the city, a myriad of tumultuous wishes assailing its thoughts.
At this moment, Shen Yuan felt as though he could completely become one with this world, omnipotent.
However, all of this lasted only for an instant, then Shen Yuan swiftly awoke from it and decisively exited from the state of fusion with the world around him.
Behind him, the silently manifested Human Path manifestation quietly dispersed, Shen Yuan’s mind was agitated, his gaze evolved with the Star Astrology Divine Power, deducing any and all possible crises that might emerge around him.
Shen Yuan could never have imagined that just by entering the Imperial Capital, the Human Path momentum would be triggered involuntarily, which was a situation he had never experienced before.
The Human Path momentum caused the Great Tao Manifestation to reveal itself, allowing Shen Yuan to enter a state of control over the Human Path momentum for an extremely brief moment, where he could easily stir the humanity fate within the Imperial Capital, suppressing all foreign enemies.
However, Shen Yuan, after all, maintained his rationality and self-restraint, immediately regaining sobriety after a brief indulgence and swiftly departing from the state of controlling the Human Path momentum.
Great Yin’s Mortal Emperor sat in the Imperial Capital, and although the influence brought by Shen Yuan was extremely short-lived, it was very possible that the Mortal Emperor at the pinnacle of this realm had already taken notice.
Shen Yuan subconsciously wanted to have Xu Guan drive the carriage to leave the Imperial Capital immediately, but the words stopped at his lips.
If Great Yin’s Mortal Emperor truly noticed him, as long as he remained upon the territory of the Jiu Province, there would be no difference whether he was inside or outside of the Imperial Capital.
The carriage interior fell into brief silence, and Shen Yuan had secretly taken out the Heaven’s Decree Secret Order.
The moment he detected any motion out of place, Shen Yuan would activate the Heaven’s Decree Secret Order at the fastest speed, returning to the timeline thousands of years later.
Outside the carriage, Xu Guan appeared somewhat bewildered.
After entering the Imperial Capital, he greeted the Falling Clouds Taoist, but the other party did not respond at all.
If not for being able to feel the presence of the other inside the carriage, Xu Guan would have even suspected the Falling Clouds Taoist had long since departed.
After a standstill of silence, Xu Guan once again cautiously spoke:
"May I ask if the Taoist wishes to proceed to the inner city, the Third Imperial Prince desires to meet with you."
Xu Guan’s words broke the silence inside the carriage, Shen Yuan still clutching the Heaven’s Decree Secret Order in his hand, but his eyes couldn’t help flashing with surprise.
Contrary to what Shen Yuan expected, the Great Yin Mortal Emperor, whom he thought would be enraged, did not appear, and there were no signs of the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty’s powerful experts within tens of miles.
Shen Yuan’s previous concerns seemed to be somewhat unnecessary.
"Is it because the moment was too brief for the Great Yin Mortal Emperor to lock onto the precise location?
Or is it that my Human Path momentum comes from thousands of years later and is too secretive for the Great Yin Mortal Emperor to detect?"
"If the former is true, this trip will still carry certain risks.
But if it’s the latter, this journey to the All-Worlds Luotian Convention may have some degree of assurance."
As thoughts whirled in his mind, Shen Yuan did not store the Heaven’s Decree Secret Order back into the Secret Realm Square-Inch, but chose to keep it on hand, ensuring that he could use it at any time.
After all this, Shen Yuan finally relaxed a bit, responding flatly to Xu Guan outside the carriage:
"Since the Third Prince has extended an invitation, then lead the way."
Xu Guan heaved a sigh of relief and then revealed a respectful smile, again steering the carriage towards the distance.
The scale of the Great Yin Capital City was beyond imagination, and even after entering the city gate and arriving in the outer capital city, it was just the exterior of the Capital City.
The outer capital city housed a large population of ordinary citizens, and high-status cultivators from beyond the 36 Territories were no different from common folk in the outer capital city.
Even common people without any cultivation could look on as equals to those minor cultivators at the Essence Refining and Qi Transformation Stage, as the evolution of laws and talisman technology under the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty had minimized the gap between commoners and lower ranks of cultivators.
Only by crossing the threshold of the Qi Training Stage could one begin to see some differences.
The outer capital city thrived, but if one wished to proceed to the inner city, the true heart of the Capital, one would need to cover hundreds of miles to reach the inner city.
However, driving the Wind Qilin carriage, it would not take much time.
In just a few moments, Shen Yuan could already see the legendary inner city of the Imperial Capital.
Looking at the familiar patchwork city walls, Shen Yuan’s eyes flashed with realization.
The so-called inner city of the Great Yin Imperial Capital was precisely the Great Xia Imperial Capital retained in later ages. n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
When Shen Yuan first visited Great Xia Imperial Capital, he marveled at the large city protecting array formation left on the Jing Province territory, which in reality was just a part of the complete Great Yin Imperial Capital’s protective formation.
Upon reaching the inner city, the security became much more stringent, with the city gate guards being Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators and the Divine Transformation Realm lieutenants patrolling back and forth.
In the city towers above, Shen Yuan even perceived the presence of a Great True Being at the Return-to-Void Stage sitting in vigilance, which evidenced the profound depths of Great Yin’s heritage.
As a member of the Nine Phoenix Guard, Xu Guan naturally did not face any obstacles and easily entered the inner city.
Stepping into the inner city, Shen Yuan immediately felt the Human Path momentum within his body calling out, with the Great Tao Manifestation seeming ready to reveal itself at any moment.
Shen Yuan’s expression changed subtly, immediately operating various Divine Skills, suppressing the restlessness of the Great Tao Manifestation.
Previously, when he had just entered the outer city, the accidental manifestation of the Great Tao had already been risky enough, thankfully the Great Yin Mortal Emperor had not taken notice.
