Chapter Seventy-Fifth The First Heroic City of Chu King's Capital

  A majestic mountain range stretching for 50,000 miles, like a 50,000-mile-long divine dragon soaring into the sky, lies on the vast land of Chu State. Its peaks are clustered together, with thousands of towering mountains pointing straight to the heavens.

  This is the first mountain range of Chu State, Jing Mountain.

  The magnificent and majestic capital of Chu State lies on this Jing Mountain.

  Still thousands of miles away, Chu Cheng and others had already seen from afar that the main peak of Jing Shan, which was as high as tens of thousands of zhang, was renamed "Bawang Peak" by King Xiang of Chu himself. The Tongtian Mountain stood proudly between heaven and earth, just like the arrogant King Xiang of Chu, or it seemed to be a Bawang spear that wanted to pierce through the sky.

  "Is that the Hegemon's Peak? Legend has it that the Hegemon King of Chu carried a mighty spear with him, which is hidden within the Hegemon's Peak. What an awe-inspiring sight! I wonder what kind of spear it is, to require an entire mountain peak to conceal it?"

  As soon as he saw Mount Ba Wang, Leng Cangfeng couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.

  He is also a gunner, and the lone long gun in his hand represents his personality and spirit. But how can that be compared to the king of guns?

  To see the King's Peak is to imagine what kind of person the King was.

  "That is the Ba Wang Peak. No matter how exaggerated the books describe it, if you haven't seen the Ba Wang Peak with your own eyes, you can never imagine its majestic grandeur and the wonders of nature that it holds." Chu Cheng sighed deeply, looking up at the sky.

  The highest peak on Earth in the previous life, Mount Everest, was only over 8,000 meters, less than 3,000 zhang. But the majestic peak in front of me now is several tens of thousands of zhang!

  "They say that beautiful scenery and beautiful women are a perfect match, but which beauty can be compared to such breathtaking scenery?" Chu Cheng sighed deeply.

  Even that extremely pure woman I saw ten days ago, probably can't either?

  That day, he clashed head-on with Red William. Chu Cheng and the others saw that they were no match for him, when suddenly the woman descended from the sky and lightly pointed a finger, freezing Red William into an ice sculpture.

  Then the woman floated away, leaving behind a fleeting beautiful memory.

  Who is the woman, where did she come from, and where will she go? What kind of story does she have, and what legend will she play out?

  Chu City doesn't know.

  When the cold ice melted away, Chu Cheng and others sorted out Hong Weilian's belongings, rested for a moment, and then set off with Dongfang Ye and Leng Cangfeng who had rushed over.

  Among the relics of Red William, there was a seven-treasured carriage of the Xuanji grade. Ma Huangquan drove the carriage and several people rushed to the imperial capital day and night.

  When passing through the City of Broken Bones, Yin Wu and You Quan stayed behind.

  Because of the shattered bone city, it is one of the cities in the territory of Chu State where a small number of living spirits and yin spirits coexist.

  Then he passed through the city of Purple Bamboo, and Yin Yue stayed behind. His reason was simple: the lord of the city of Purple Bamboo loved music dearly, and from top to bottom, the entire city was filled with song and dance...

  Then they passed by Jinyao City, but several people did not dare to enter the city and instead took a detour - that Sun Yan, however, was killed at the hands of Chucheng!

  Finally, several people rushed to the foot of Jing Mountain.

  At this time, the contract between Ma Huangquan and Chu Cheng had also expired. Ma Huangquan returned to the Yellow Spring world, so Chu Cheng, Leng Cangfeng, and Dongfang Ye traveled together.

  Arriving at the foot of Jing Mountain is equivalent to arriving at the foot of the Son of Heaven. The next step would be to enter the top of Jing Mountain, the capital of Chu Kingdom.

  The King of Chu is not on Mount Ba Wang, but Mount Ba Wang is in the city of the King of Chu.

  When the country was first established, the King of Chu gathered 100,000 craftsmen and spent ten years using countless materials to finally build this city on top of Jing Mountain. The city is five thousand miles long and wide, with walls as high as a hundred feet. Including Bawang Peak, nine peaks stand tall within the capital.

  The Chu King's Four Corners, four seats of the Heavenly High Peak, reaching a height of 12,000 zhang, piercing through the clouds. This is not an ordinary mountain peak, but the Heaven-Piercing Mystic Pillar that shakes the entire Great Qin Empire.

  Taking mountains as pillars, this matter can only be done by the majestic and unparalleled King Xiang of Chu.

  Inside the capital of Chu, there are four peaks that are even higher, with the lowest being 18,000 zhang high and the highest being 27,000 zhang high, respectively located in the four directions of the capital.

  This is the private mountain peak owned by the four largest families in Chu State, excluding the royal family. The height of the mountain peak represents the ranking of this family.

  To the east, a mountain peak as high as 27,000 zhang, a winding river, like a flying dragon, from the top of the mountain peak, around the mountain peak, all the way to the foot of the mountain, and then divided into two.

  A river flows out of the eastern gate of Wangdu, flowing for 100,000 miles, and empties into Dongdu, a satellite city located east of Chu State.

  Another one bursts through the east city wall and turns down sharply, flowing southeast for 100,000 miles to enter Modu, the auxiliary capital of Chu State in the southeast.

  This mountain is called Mount Luoshen, and this river is called River Luo.

  This mountain peak and this river all belong to the first family under the Chu State royal family, said to have appeared a great family of transcendent divine power, the Luo Family.

  To the west, there is a mountain peak that is 24,000 zhang high. From its top to its bottom, it is surrounded by eight concentric rings. The rings, from top to bottom, are increasingly larger and have different colors, none of which are the same.

  This is the Feng Family's Divine Ring, each ring represents a powerful being in the Divine Realm. Eight rings represent the eight powerful beings currently existing within the Feng Family.

  The mountain peak facing south is as high as 21,000 zhang, with seven-colored light flowing and turning non-stop on it, as if containing endless mystery.

  This is another mountain peak owned by the Shen family, and the seven-colored light on it is the symbol of the Shen family: the Seven Profound Sword Qi. The Seven Profound Swords of the Shen family are ranked first among the eight great sword techniques of Chu State.

  It is said that the Shen family has at least four old ancestors in the realm of divine communication, and the current head of the Shen family, Shen Junxia, is also one of the top ten strongmen in the Mountains and Seas Realm of Chu State, ranking second!

  The mountain peak in the north, which is 18,000 feet high, is a live volcano. There is a volcanic lava lake on the top of the mountain that leads directly to the underground, where the fire spirit lava beast is born. It is a naturally formed ferocious beast group, guarding this live volcano for generations.

  This mountain peak belongs to the Huo family of the Wuhou aristocracy. The Huo family is also one of the major families in the imperial capital, alongside the Luo, Feng, and Shen families.

  The last mountain peak, also the highest, is 36,000 feet high. On its top are palaces and temples, densely packed like stars in the sky. There are all sorts of magnificent buildings everywhere. Moreover, according to their heights, the palaces have different grades.

  However, the royal palace of the Chu State was not on this mountain peak.

  On the top of the King's Peak, clouds and mist are swirling. In this cloud and mist, there is a group of palaces that cannot be seen from the outside, floating on the clouds, majestic and magnificent, noble and unparalleled, ordinary people can never see it in their lifetime.

  That is the royal palace of the King of Chu, where the most noble and legitimate descendants of the royal family reside.

  Only the old monsters of the royal family who have not come out for years, the direct descendants of the current King of Chu, the king's consorts, palace maids and eunuchs, as well as the most mysterious dragon-taming guards, are qualified to live here.

  Apart from this, even the three dukes of Chu State, the six great martial marquises, the five divine generals and the renowned strong practitioners of the Divine Path realm were not summoned and could not set foot in the palace.

  The Chu king had a strict order, and the white slaves were not allowed to set foot in the capital. Those who were not long-term residents of the capital must register with the general at the city gate, stating their identity, purpose, duration of stay, and main activity area.

  Afterwards, the city gate general will issue a plaque, which uses special secret methods to construct a segment of information that cannot be changed at will, simply recording some information about oneself.

  A few people from Chucheng entered through the south gate, took three engraved plaques from a certain city guard's hand, and hastily walked into the city gate to appreciate the scenery of the capital.

  Three people stayed at a small hotel called "Li's Guest House" and moved into the best room with a daily price of ten gold coins, then they began to act separately.

  Dongfang family also has a small business in the imperial capital. Before leaving, Old Master Dongfang repeatedly instructed Dongfang Ye that as soon as he arrived in the imperial capital, he must immediately contact the manager responsible for the business there. Dongfang Ye did not dare disobey the old master's orders and reluctantly went to find the manager.

  Leng Cang Feng was a lonely person, and he didn't have much money on him either. So he simply stayed in his room. The injuries on his body hadn't fully healed yet, and recently, he had been promoted too quickly, so his realm was unstable and needed to be tempered properly.

  While Chu Cheng was preparing to go sightseeing around the capital, to see what made it different. He also wanted to discreetly inquire about everything related to the Young Heroes' Association.

  The King of Chu followed the nine peaks, dividing them into nine major areas. The four outermost peaks formed the center of the four outer cities, namely Dongcheng, Xicheng, Nancheng and Beicheng.

  Then the four internal mountain peaks formed the four major inner cities, which are Luocheng centered on the Luo family, Fengshencheng centered on the Feng family, Qixuancheng centered on the Shen family, and Huocheng centered on the Huo family.

  Then at the very center is the Imperial Forbidden City surrounding Mount Ba Wang.

  The "Li's Inn" where Chu Cheng and others stayed is located in the southern city area, far from the south gate, almost close to the inner city area.

  As I walked along the edge of Chu City, I unknowingly wandered into a place of luxury and extravagance.

  This is a business district called "Golden Powder World", where young masters and princes come and go, everywhere is filled with the sound of women's chatter, surprisingly they are all prostitutes.

  Chu City doesn't prohibit it, but he has a special "cleanliness habit", always feeling that these wind and dust women are too unclean, absolutely won't touch them.

  What's more, he was only twelve years old at the time and could hardly be considered a youth, almost still a child, how could he stay in such a place?

  Thinking of this, Chucheng immediately turned around and left.

  Then at this moment, a furious voice suddenly rose:

  "Chu Cheng, you little brat, you beast! Return grandma's things at once!"

  This voice is extremely pleasant to listen to, but the volume is too loud, and it has attracted many people to stop and stare, pointing fingers at themselves.

  Chu Cheng was slightly stunned and realized that this voice was quite familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

  Then he looked around and found that about twenty meters away, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl was walking towards him.

  That woman glared at herself with a fierce gaze, her fists clenched tightly. Who else could it be but the Butterfly Thief girl she had caught back then?
