My entry can't possibly be this normal!

Biluo City, the capital of Changping County, was the most prosperous city that Li Ping'an and his companions had ever seen before.

However, compared to Longyuan City, Biluo City is simply a remote and impoverished place!

This can hardly be called a city on earth anymore.

It's practically a celestial palace!

The vastness of Longyuan City stretches in all directions, seemingly endless.

The majestic Longyuan City soars into the clouds, reaching straight to the heavens.

Looking up from the sky, the entire city is not clearly visible. This is not only because Longyuan City is too vast and expansive, but also because the entire city is shrouded in countless dense and complex protective arrays, preventing anyone from peeking in.

Surrounding Longyuan City are mountain ranges resembling azure dragons, guarding this imperial capital like a dragon vein.

Hidden within these dragon-like mountain ranges are numerous immortal sects and lineages, whose subtle aura of power makes the powerful Wuyai Sect seem like a child's play.

Even above the heavens, amidst the sea of ​​clouds, many ethereal immortal mountains float, some gleaming like mirages, others appearing and disappearing into the clouds, and still others…

Li Ping'an felt as if he had entered another space, another dimension!

Such a being is beyond Li Ping'an's current cultivation level to fathom!

and so……

Not only were Bai Xiaoxian and Feng Dashan amazed, but Li Ping'an himself was also filled with emotion.

Only Yu Ni Chang, having visited Longyuan City before, wasn't so surprised.

Even she couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Every time I see Longyuan City, I can't help but feel awe..."

"Grandpa once said that this is not just a city, but an entire world."

"Looking back now, it was definitely not an empty statement."

Li Ping'an thought to himself that Yu Tianji's words were probably not a metaphor, but a factual statement...

However, he is not sure about it now.

"Let's go."

Li Ping'an knew that it was impossible to force his way through the barrier formation from the air to enter Longyuan City, so he lowered the Tianya Spirit Boat. After the group landed, Li Ping'an retrieved the spirit boat, which transformed back into the Tianya Ruler, and then transformed back into the Void Ring, which he wore on his hand.

This is the west gate of Longyuan City, not the most magnificent one.

But it is still ridiculously large and astonishingly tall.

The area in front of the gate was bustling with activity, with countless ordinary people, merchants, military officials, and even cultivators from all over the world coming and going in an endless stream.

And those responsible for maintaining order were certainly no ordinary people.

Yu Nishang explained, "Those guarding the city gates are known as the Dragon Abyss Guards. They are the imperial guards of the Great Jin Dynasty, handpicked from the armies of all directions. Each one of them is an outstanding individual, with extraordinary strength."

Li Ping'an nodded.

Even these ordinary Dragon Abyss Guards are at least at the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm, and many are even at the tenth level.

To be honest, someone of this level would be considered one of the most outstanding disciples in all the major sects in Changping County.

But here, he was just one of the tens of thousands of soldiers patrolling and guarding the city.

And those captains who were the leaders were actually all Celestial Realm Great Cultivators at the Divine Power Earth Realm!

It's easy to imagine how much the strength in Dragon Abyss City has increased!

This is actually quite natural.

Li Ping'an's hometown, Changping County, was originally a frontier region. The most powerful force there, the Wuya Sect, was only a seventh-rank sect.

However, in this Dragon Abyss City, let alone fifth or sixth-grade sects, there are probably even fourth-grade sects, or even third-grade sects that are said to be in the Upper Three Heavens.

This gap is really too big.

As for the first and second-grade sects in the Upper Three Heavens, they only exist in the Azure Netherworld Domain.

Li Ping'an nodded, neither humble nor arrogant, and led his disciples forward, taking out their identity badges.

One is the position of a seventh-rank sect elder recognized by the Heavenly Dao Sect.

One is the waist token of a sixth-rank blacksmith from the Blacksmith Alliance.

The Dragon Abyss Guard, who had been bored, was instantly moved upon seeing Li Ping'an's two plaques!

The Grand Elder of a seventh-rank sect is nothing special.

However, a sixth-rank blacksmith?!

That's considered quite a figure in Longyuan City!

Moreover, when he glanced up, he realized that Li Ping'an, at such a young age, had already advanced to the sixth rank of a Dao Forging Master, which was simply unbelievable!

He immediately straightened up and exclaimed in surprise, "A sixth-grade Dao Forging Master?!"

"So young?!"

Li Ping'an smiled slightly: "The certification of the Dao Forging Master Alliance is something no one in the world would dare to impersonate."

The Dragon Abyss Guard hurriedly replied, "Yes, of course..."

"Please come quickly!"

Li Ping'an nodded and strode in, leading the group inside.

The crowd behind him was buzzing with discussion.

The captain of the Dragon Abyss Guard was also taken aback.

"Judging from their clothes and attire, they are definitely not from the capital. I never imagined that such extraordinary people would exist in this vast world. Truly, there are always people more capable than the heavens and the people more powerful than the people..."

"Yes, a sixth-grade blacksmith, even at the Blacksmith Alliance headquarters in Dragon Abyss City, could at least be a mid-level elder..."

"Considering his age, he'll probably be groomed as a senior elder..."

Everyone was both amazed and envious.

……

After Li Ping'an stepped into the city, he looked up and couldn't help but sigh with emotion once again.

Bai Xiaoxian and Feng Dashan were like country bumpkins visiting the Grand View Garden, constantly looking around as if they couldn't see clearly.

Yu Ni Chang smiled sweetly.

"Master Chang, I told you, your talent and aptitude are highly respected and admired even in Dragon Abyss City..."

"A sixth-grade blacksmith, that's a truly important figure!"

Li Ping'an casually asked, "A sixth-rank Dao Forging Master?"

"Oh, you mean that sign..."

"Actually, I was already a fifth-grade blacksmith, but I was always too busy to have time to get certified and change my certification."

Yu Nishang, Bai Xiaoxian, and Feng Dashan were immediately shocked.

"A fifth-rank Dao Forging Master?!"

Li Pingan casually replied, "Yes..."

"He advanced before destroying the Boundless Sect, so he shouldn't be too far from the fourth rank now..."

"what happened?"

Yu Ni Chang was so shocked that she stared in disbelief, her mouth agape.

"Teacher Chang, you...you're not even human!"

"..."

"A fifth-grade Dao Forging Master! What does that even mean?! It's already far surpassed Grandpa's... He's wanted to advance again his whole life, but it's been hopeless for him..."

"Even in Dragon Abyss City, the highest level is probably only a third-grade blacksmith, fourth-grade blacksmiths are at the level of decision-makers like the Grand Elder, and fifth-grade blacksmiths are more than qualified to participate in discussions!"

Li Pingan smiled calmly: "Is there really such a big deal?"

"This is all just a natural progression."

Li Ping'an spoke casually, of course, because he had a system with him. Every time he refined a magic weapon, every time he fused inscriptions, and even every time the inscriptions of the magic weapon he refined were used, he would receive a double boost in both his divine soul power and his own cultivation level...

However, in the eyes of others, this was simply beyond description, even beyond the realm of the monstrous!

At this point, Li Ping'an also realized that it was time to check the system. He had been letting things do as they pleased without taking a closer look.

Upon arriving in Longyuan City, his first step was to go to the Dao Forging Alliance to gather information.

After all, this is not Changping County, and there is no branch of the Qingyun Sect here, but the Dao Forging Alliance is his firm backing.

But before that, he decided to take a look at the current system properties...

"System, check!"
