Practice begins with immortality

The five great royal cities are the forces at the top of the wilderness. They are divided into Thunder Roar Royal City, Hanging Sky Royal City, Black Ice Royal City, Giant Wood Royal City, and Sky Sea Royal City. Thunder Roar, Hanging Sky, and Giant Wood Royal City are located in the Savage Mountains in the central part of the land. In addition, many major clans reside in the mountains. Black Ice Royal City is located in the northern snowfields, while Sky Sea Royal City is located in the coastal area near the Misty Sea. The Savage Forest is the gathering place of many smaller clans.

Among the royal cities, Leixiao Royal City and Tianhai Royal City are the strongest. The innate magical powers of the king-level masters in Leixiao Royal City are mostly related to thunder, and the power of thunder is extremely powerful. Tianhai Royal City, on the other hand, commands the entire Misty Sea and possesses the largest number of king-level masters. Its powerful members are even more skilled in utilizing water power for combat, making them formidable opponents in the water. The remaining three cities are not much different in strength.

"According to Hun Qiankun, the five royal cities will mostly recruit some independent strong men. As a guest official, and I have this envelope, I can join them." Wang Bai thought in his heart, and then he immediately set off for the Savage Mountains.

……

Three days later, Wang Bai came to a magnificent city, which was the satellite city of Lei Xiaowang City.

"As expected of a top-tier power in the Wilderness Realm, even a satellite city has a King-level expert guarding it." Wang Bai sighed as he gazed at the magnificent city before him. He then released his aura. Instantly, an aura as powerful as Wang Bai's erupted from the city, counteracting his own. Then, a figure appeared not far from Wang Bai. This person was undoubtedly the King-level expert here.

"Where are you from? What brings you to my Ironclad City?" the man asked warily.

"I am a commoner. I heard that Prince Lei Xiao was recruiting guests, so I came here specially to seek refuge. Here is my letter of introduction." As he said that, Wang Bai threw the letter to the man.

"So that's how it is, Li Lei. This person came with your token, so you will explain the matter." After checking the letter, he called a general and gave him instructions.

"My subordinate understands."

"Since you have decided to join the Royal City, we will be colleagues in the future. What is your name, brother? I can report to you." The man said again.

"My name is Wang Mu." Wang Bai replied.

.........

"Brother Wang Mu, I am Lei Yuan. I have reported your situation to the emperor. This is the technique of the royal city. Now, you are already a guest official of my Lei Xiao Royal City. I just don't know if you want to go to the royal city or be sent out to guard it?"

"I naturally want to visit the Royal City," Wang Bai replied. Guarding the outer faction meant little to him, and according to information he had recently gathered, there was a forest of true meaning stele in the Royal City, accumulated over countless years. Naturally, Wang Bai would not miss this opportunity.

"I see. It seems Brother Wang wishes to visit the inheritance stele forest. As a King-level expert, Brother Wang is certainly qualified. However, if Brother Wang comprehends the true meaning, please leave behind a legacy at the end of your life to provide assistance to those who come after you," Lei Yuan said. While few people can comprehend the true meaning, over time, many have accumulated. Those who do can leave their legacy behind to aid future generations. Therefore, each of the five great royal cities features a heritage stele forest to aid future generations. There are also regulations in place: as long as they pass a special test, anyone can enter and comprehend within, regardless of their opponent. King-level experts, provided they are not hostile, can enter directly.

"I didn't expect it would be so easy to get in." Wang Bai was surprised. He thought it was a secret that only members of his clan could enter, but he could get in so easily.

Wang Bai then thought about it and felt relieved. The Wilderness wasn't the world of immortal cultivation; the law of the jungle didn't exist. Furthermore, if the true meaning of the inheritance wasn't used sooner rather than later, it would gradually fade away with the passage of time. Rather than letting the inheritance dissipate, it would be better to open it to the powerful. Not only would he gain a favor, but he would also earn a promise to pass on the true meaning of the powerful to the next generation.

"It seems that almost every king-level expert in the Wilderness Realm has comprehended the true meaning. Perhaps most are not at a high level, but there are definitely some who are at a high level," Wang Bai sighed. He then inquired with Lei Yuan about this and learned that Lei Zhen, the current clan king of Lei Xiao King City, had comprehended 87% of the fist's meaning, making him the true strongest being on earth.

"The strength of the clan king is probably close to that of the legendary ancient immortal gods." Lei Yuan said proudly.

"Ancient immortals, what is that?" Wang Bai asked with some confusion.

"It's an ancient legend passed down orally within the five royal cities." Lei Yuan explained to Wang Bai.

"Legend has it that long ago, in ancient times, there existed immortals and gods. These immortals and gods possessed all sorts of incredible abilities. Even today's king-level masters were nothing more than larger insects in front of them. Later, the world changed drastically, and all the immortals and gods disappeared." Lei Yuan then said with some regret, "It's a pity that we were born at the wrong time. If we had been born in that legendary ancient time, perhaps we too would have been qualified to become one of those legendary immortals and gods. But unfortunately, the strongest people in the world today are only at the peak of the king level."

"I've practiced on this land for many years, yet I'm completely unaware of these secrets. I wonder how Brother Lei learned them," Wang Bai asked Lei Yuan. Upon hearing this, Lei Yuan smiled and said, "I also learned this from my elders after breaking through to the King level. It's said that the five great royal cities are all related to the ancient immortals. But to be honest, everyone on this land can be traced back to the ancient immortals. It's said that the cultivation methods of the extraordinary people were obtained from ancient ruins."

"Are there many on the ancient ruins land?"

"Not many, only a few large ruins. The rest are mostly tombs, and after so many years of searching, nothing is left. But I heard there's a mysterious place deep in the Savage Mountains. It's said to randomly appear every few hundred years, and each time it appears, a supremely powerful king-level warrior will delve into it to search for it. I suspect it's the passage to the land of immortals and gods," Lei Yuan said with a laugh. Wang Bai then spoke with him for a while before leaving.

"The so-called ancient immortals should be high-level immortal cultivators. It seems that the Wilderness Realm should have been a small world controlled by a large force in the past. Later, an accident occurred, causing this large force to lose control of the Wilderness Realm. As for the mysterious place in the Savage Mountains, could it be something like a space crack?" Wang Bai came to this conclusion after integrating the information he obtained.

"Forget it, these things are still far away from me. The most important thing now is to continue to improve my cultivation." Then, Wang Bai used the Yuan Swallowing Technique to start body training.
