Shen Mo could sense that at least four or five divine senses of varying strengths, but all extremely professional, swept across every corner of the Mo Yun Shuttle like mercury spilling onto the ground, even attempting to penetrate the cabin walls to investigate the internal structure.

However, when these divine senses touched the core area of ​​the Ink Cloud Shuttle and Shen Mo himself, they encountered invisible obstacles and were politely but firmly "repelled".

After the captain finished his inspection, the cold expression on his face softened slightly, but the scrutinizing look in his eyes remained. He looked at Shen Mo, who was sitting upright in the cabin, and cupped his hands in greeting, "Southern Region, Qingyun Sect, Sect Leader Shen Mo?"

"That's right," Shen Mo's voice came steadily.

"Attendees: eleven people. The list is verified." The captain confirmed the list attached to the jade tablet, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the cabin, lingering slightly on the disciples with more imposing auras, such as Shi Tie and Wang Hu, then looking at the youngest, Li Xiaocao and Atu, before finally returning to Shen Mo.

"Sect Leader Shen, according to the Tianyuan Rules, all flying magical artifacts participating in the meeting must undergo a basic scan to confirm the absence of large-scale forbidden formations, war artifacts, extremely high concentrations of dangerous energy, and forbidden life forms. Please activate the outer layer of protective formations to cooperate with the inspection," the captain said in a businesslike tone, leaving no room for argument.

"Alright." Shen Mo nodded, tapping his finger on the control array plate.

The concealment and protective radiance on the surface of the Ink Cloud Shuttle, which had been operating at a minimum, rippled like water for a moment before receding, revealing the simple, unadorned black shuttle body and the ancient silver runes beneath.

Behind the captain, a deputy immediately took out a uniquely shaped octagonal bronze mirror and shone it on the Mo Yun Shuttle from head to toe. The mirror shimmered with light, revealing various complex runes and data.

A moment later, the deputy nodded to the captain: "Scan complete, no anomalies. The shuttle's runes are ancient, the structure is stable, and it contains a small amount of unknown high-level spatial Daoist rhyme. Recorded. Risk level: low."

The captain nodded, returned the "Tianyuan Token" and the jade certificate of participation to Shen Mo, then took out a palm-sized, crystal-clear jade tablet from his pocket, made a few strokes in the air, a ray of spiritual light entered the jade tablet, and then handed it to Shen Mo.

"Sect Leader Shen, this is the 'Yunxi Token,' which serves as your and your sect's temporary identification and accommodation guide during the Tianyuan Conference. Please keep it safe. With this token, you can freely enter and exit most areas of the outer city and designated inns."

"Entry into the inner city and core restricted areas requires separate permission or arrangements by the conference."

He then turned to the side and pointed to a passage inside the circular platform that emitted a soft white light: "Please enter the city via this 'Rainbow Bridge,' where guiding puppets will lead you to the 'Cloud Dwelling Garden' inn."

"Within Tianyuan, except in designated areas, the taking off of private flying magical artifacts is strictly prohibited, high-speed escape is strictly prohibited, and private combat is strictly prohibited."

"Those who violate this rule will be punished according to the severity of the offense, including fines, imprisonment, expulsion, or even the revocation of their cultivation. Please be aware of this."

"Thank you." Shen Mo took the cool-to-the-touch "Yunqi Token" and scanned it with his divine sense. Sure enough, it was marked with the words "Yunqi Garden, Class 7" and a simple map of Tianyuan Outer City.

The captain said no more and raised his hand to signal them to proceed. The Mo Yun Shuttle slowly entered the white light tunnel.

The passage seemed to be empty, but once the shuttle entered, it was immediately enveloped and pulled by a gentle force, automatically and smoothly sliding towards Tianyuan.

Through the passage walls, one can see a dazzling sea of ​​clouds and a bottomless abyss outside, but the passage itself is unusually calm.

Only then did everyone in the cabin seem to breathe a sigh of relief.

The oppressive feeling brought by the Tianyuan Guard team just now, as well as the extremely rigorous inspection procedures, made them truly realize that this was a place with strict rules and supreme authority.

"Goodness, it's just entering a city, why such a big fuss..." Shi Tie muttered to himself, loosening his collar. He had been sweating profusely from being stared at by those Golden Core cultivators.

"What do you know?" Wang Hu said in a low voice, "This is Tianyuan, the central hub of the Eastern Wilderness. The rules aren't strict enough to keep all sorts of monsters and demons from all directions in check. Didn't you hear what the captain said? Even private fights can destroy your cultivation! We'd better be on our guard in the city from now on."

Li Xiaocao patted her chest, still shaken: "When that mirror looked at me just now, I felt like it could see right through me..."

"That's a simplified version of the 'Spirit-Seeking Mirror'," Zhao Qingyan explained. "It's specifically designed to break concealment and detect energy reactions. Fortunately, neither our Ink Cloud Shuttle nor we were carrying anything prohibited."

A-Tu, gazing curiously out the window at the sea of ​​clouds and abyss separated by the white light tunnel, whispered, "This bridge... it must be made by an array, right? It feels so strange, just hanging in the sky like that..."

Shen Mo did not participate in the disciples' hushed discussions. He held the "Cloud Dwelling Token" in his hand, his gaze passing through the passage and landing on the approaching giant city in the sky.

The towering city walls, the flowing runes, the solemn atmosphere, and the omnipresent pressure representing absolute order and authority... all clearly told him:

Tengen, we've arrived.

The light of the guiding rainbow bridge gradually dimmed, and the Ink Cloud Shuttle smoothly glided into a huge indoor docking platform within Tianyuan, bathed in soft sunlight.

The platform was paved with pure white spirit jade, spotless and exceptionally quiet, with only a few flying magical artifacts of different styles quietly moored there.

Compared to the bustling "Yungang" outside the city, this is clearly an internal berth specifically prepared for the participating teams.

The portal opened, and everyone stepped onto solid ground. The feel underfoot was completely different from the outside world; it was hard yet had a warm, elastic quality, as if the ground itself contained an array.

A strange fragrance filled the air, and the spiritual energy was so rich that it was almost tangible, flowing silently along the edge of the platform.

Looking up, there was no sunlight, only a soft, bright sky that seemed to glow on its own, high and unfathomable.

"Gentlemen, please follow me." A gentle but emotionless voice rang out.

Following the sound, one could see a humanoid puppet, about seven feet tall, carved entirely from some kind of light blue jade, with smooth lines and a blurred face, standing quietly at the platform's exit.

The puppet had a glowing crystal embedded in its chest, from which the voice had come. It glowed slightly at the "Cloud Dwelling Token" in Shen Mo's hand, as if confirming information, then turned and walked out of the platform with precise and steady steps.

"This is... a guiding puppet?" Li Xiaocao asked curiously in a low voice.

"Hmm, judging from the style and spirit patterns, it should be a 'Guest Guide' type produced by the Heavenly Craft Pavilion. It specializes in guiding and simple inquiries, and has no combat ability, but it is very reliable." Zhao Qingyan responded in a low voice, her gaze sweeping over the intricate and beautiful rune connections on the puppet's body.

The group followed the puppet out of the docking platform, where a bright and open space suddenly appeared before them.

They felt as if they were inside a giant, three-dimensional city suspended in the clouds.

Beneath my feet lies a wide, flat street, also shimmering with light, flanked by pavilions and courtyards of varying styles, each exuding refinement and charm.

The streets are not straight, but rather have a gentle slope, spiraling upwards to connect platforms and areas at different heights.

Looking up, you can see higher up, with rainbow bridges spanning the sky, pavilions appearing and disappearing, and graceful birds flying by. In the distance, you can even see small floating peaks, and waterfalls cascading down like silver ribbons, refracting a rainbow of colors under the light of an unknown source.
