Half a month later, Qin Chuan and Yu Qing stepped onto the teleportation array bound for the Nine Heavens Land.
Qin Chuan's heart was filled with complex emotions. He was finally going to this place; he didn't know how long it had been, this place had always been imprinted in his heart.
It wasn't that he longed for the place itself, but rather that people he cared about were there: Chu Shiqingzhu, Tantai Huangqing, Yu Luoqing…
But he had always been restricted, unable to go. Now, finally, he could go, and he felt a surge of excitement.
Yu Qing's cultivation was very powerful; after all, she was the Empress and ruler of this region. However, she too was leaving this place. She had no lingering attachments; her attachment was merely a habit.
It's like someone who has been in a place for a long time—they develop a sense of familiarity and a touch of melancholy—it's a normal feeling.
Qin Chuan didn't feel any sense of belonging here. Yu Qing glanced at the place again, shook her head slightly, and used the teleportation array.
This was a teleportation array to the Nine Heavens Land.
A moment of disorientation, as if millions of years had passed, yet it felt like an instant. When they regained their senses, they found themselves on a massive teleportation platform.
At the center was a massive teleportation array, now teeming with people.
Those teleported here dispersed in all directions, while others headed towards the central teleportation array. The sky was high and blue, the air fresh, the sun shining brightly, and the clouds as white as snow.
It was beautiful, incredibly comfortable, bustling with people, a vibrant and thriving scene that instantly lifted one's spirits.
Lively yet orderly, it felt wonderful; this world was beautiful.
The Land of Nine Heavens!
Qin Chuan breathed in the fresh air. This magnificent world had finally arrived. He knew that even after arriving here, he was still very, very far from the person he was looking for.
But this was, after all, the Land of Nine Heavens, essentially part of the same world, and now they could be considered people of the same world. It was
just that this world was vast, unimaginably large.
Finding a few people here was both difficult and not difficult, depending on who he was looking for. Fortunately, Qin Chuan was looking for the Nine Heavens Mystic Goddess Palace.
This shouldn't be too difficult; it should be among the most powerful and top-tier beings in this world. His only concern was whether his own strength was sufficient.
Roar!
A tremendous dragon roar resounded, and Qin Chuan looked up in surprise at the sky. A colossal dragon, over two thousand meters long, streaked across the heavens.
A true dragon!
Qin Chuan was certain it was a true dragon, a pure-blooded true dragon. He was somewhat surprised, as he had rarely seen a true dragon before.
Moreover, it was someone else's mount. Although it wasn't a true dragon of noble blood, it was still a true dragon, of high status, and difficult for anyone but a true powerhouse to tame.
The Nine Heavens Land was indeed extraordinary; this world was terrifying beyond imagination. He longed for life here, with Yu Qing by his side.
Yu Qing remained calm, though he also watched the true dragon in the sky until it disappeared before turning his gaze away, showing no surprise.
"You've been here before," Qin Chuan said with a smile.
Yu Qing nodded: "Yes, sometimes I come here for a while, but I've never left Zhenwu City."
"This is Zhenwu City." Qin Chuan finally knew the name of the city.
Yu Qing nodded and smiled, "Yes, this city is called Zhenwu City. It's a very large city, the capital of a kingdom, and even the second largest city in the kingdom, second only to the imperial city."
"What's the name of this kingdom?" Qin Chuan asked casually.
"Mingyue Kingdom, Zhenwu City!"
The country's name wasn't particularly special; there were probably at least eight or ten thousand kingdoms in this world called Mingyue Kingdom, and even more called Zhenwu City.
After all, Qin Chuan had encountered countless cities like Qinglong City and Phoenix City before. A name is just a label; most people never actually leave their own city in their entire lives.
Knowing the name of your city is enough; not knowing isn't a big deal, since Zhenwu City is vast. Knowing where you are is sufficient.
"Madam, where are we now?" Qin Chuan asked casually.
"Let's go. I have a manor here." Yu Qing smiled at Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan was taken aback, then couldn't help but smile. He just felt happy; this woman had changed so much.
Yu Qing saw Qin Chuan pause, her face slightly flushed. She knew what Qin Chuan was thinking; the feeling was clear, as if they were telepathically connected.
This was a subtle state of being, one that even ordinary people could experience—clearly sensing each other's thoughts. The feeling was subtle and enjoyable.
The distance wasn't far; the manor wasn't large, but it wasn't small either. Its scale naturally couldn't compare to her previous Empress's Palace, but it was still considered a luxurious estate here.
For the strong, these things were nothing special, easily obtained. This world was populous and vast; manors were considered valuable possessions, and not cheap—at least for ordinary people.
The most precious thing for the strong was martial prowess, and the most valuable were treasures and cultivation techniques. These kinds of manors and shops were simply beneath their notice.
Pavilions, terraces, carved railings, bamboo groves, artificial hills, stone bridges, and cool pavilions—it had everything. It wasn't particularly large, but the furnishings were exquisite.
After looking around, Qin Chuan asked Yu Qing to take him to see True Martial City and, incidentally, to understand the framework of this world in the Nine Heavens Land.
Yu Qing's temperament and appearance were undeniably striking, and Qin Chuan was a rare find, especially since the two were a perfect match.
Clad in white, Qin Chuan, with a few strands of silver hair at his temples, looked like a divine couple walking together.
They attracted considerable attention wherever they went.
While one person could draw a crowd, the two together created an even greater sensation; after all, for humans, the most beautiful sight isn't scenery, but people.
"You two are truly celestial beings. Would you have the honor of becoming friends with me?"
a voice rang out, and a figure stood not far from Qin Chuan and Yu Qing, smiling at them.
Qin Chuan initially assumed it was some spoiled brat; such creatures existed everywhere—small towns had small spoiled brats, large towns had large spoiled brats—they were impossible to eliminate.
However, Qin Chuan was slightly taken aback upon seeing the other person, because the figure wasn't human, yet was also human, to be precise, possessing one-quarter human blood.
The remainder was dragon blood.
A dragon-man!
Qin Chuan had encountered dragon-men before; during the events in Langyuan, Qin Chuan had received some benefits, and this young man before him was a dragon-man.
Cultivating dragon cultivation, forming a dragon core, and even transforming into a dragon in the future—the battle form of a dragon, provided one's cultivation level is high enough.
Qin Chuan could be considered a dragon cultivator, but he is not a dragon-human, and he even doubts whether he will ever be able to transform into a dragon.
Qin Chuan's mind raced: "Nice to meet you. How about we find a place to have a drink?"
