Saint Heart City

"They say that the road of cultivation is a long and hard one, what they say is bullshit." Xuan li sat under a tree near the road, a vortex of wind and Qi surrounded him. His hair and clothes were fluttering and coupled with his handsome looks, he looked like a celestial.

After escaping from the city, he had traveled the road for a day and night without rest. His greed for power finally overcame his desire to flee so he took out some priceless pills and began cultivating.

Massive amounts of Qi flooded into his veins and moved inside his body like rivers constantly strengthening and purifying his body. In the beginning, he was very sensitive to Qi because he had an abnormally high-quality Spiritual root but his body was mortal as mortal could get so his Mortal transformation was much harder than other Cultivators.

That didn't stop him, He had already tempered his flesh and bones and was beginning to strengthen his organs and condense Qi for the last time to get into peak mortal transformation stage.

Usually, cultivators of the first realm found it difficult to gather the resources required to advance and their rate of Qi absorption which was influenced by the quality of their spiritual root was bad so the first hurdle of the immortal path took them years to finish.

Xuan li was different since he had robed the treasury of major powers he didn't lack resources and his talent was extremely high so he advanced very fast without meeting a bottleneck in the 1st realm.

The Qi vortex inside his body grew bigger and more powerful, his body was filled with muscles that seemed to possess explosive power while also looking elegant. Despite all of that he still appeared a little delicate because his body was hidden underneath his black robes.

A day passed, the compass strapped to his robe began fading. he noticed that and realized he couldn't cultivate without care like before since beasts would start to attack him.

He had already achieved the peak of Mortal transformation. His body was extremely powerful and all his organs were strengthened and worked perfectly, His Qi had increased by 10 times and it flowed inside his spiritual veins without obstruction, all the mortal air inside him had been expelled.

His skin looked almost black due to the expelled impurities inside his body, a foul smell was in the air. He opened his eyes and the moment he came out of his trance he almost vomited. "Who dares to shit here, If I get my hands on you..."

He noticed the smell originated from him. He instantly blocked his nose to avoid the smell. "What an embarrassment, thankfully I predicted I would get a bit dirty and choose a location near a river. Who would have thought I would get this dirty."

He hurried towards a nearby river and jumped inside, he took his robes off and dumped them nearby. he bathed for a while...

After getting cleaned he noticed his transformation, his body and skin were perfect in every way, his silky hair stretched till his waist and his reflection in the water showed him an extremely handsome and attractive man. He could hardly believe the crazy transformation he had since arriving on this world, He noticed that several strands of his hair had turned Azure colored. "This hair color transformation has something to do with my cultivation technique... Is it a bad thing?"

He realized that he needed to study more cultivation techniques and find If there was a flaw inside his and fix it. He stopped his cultivation session and took out a new set of high-quality white robes and put them on then started walking towards Saint Heart city.

After several hours he arrived...

His jaw nearly hit the ground from his shock? "Who creates a city like this ?!!!"

Saint Heart city was called Saint Heart because the city was created from a mountain called saint mountain. The mountain had been turned into a hollow statue of the bright emperor and then a city was built inside with the core of the city being at the heart of the human-shaped statue.

Mount saint was a mountain made of golden-colored rocks that gave off holy air thus the statue was golden and gave off a powerful holy pressure. unfortunately, Mount Saint was no more, seeing it would have been a breathtaking sight.

The statue's lower-body was underground so only the upper body was visible. The upper body was the size of a mountain and was shaped after a handsome man wearing imperial robes, the statue was looking at the direction of the Evergreen dynasty with contempt.

Xuan li calmed down after a few seconds. "How proud is this dynasty's emperor to create something like this? and why is it looking at that direction in contempt? Why do I feel like this was meant to provoke someone..."

He approached the statue and marveled at its construction. A long line of people waited outside the city gates, the gates were positioned on the back of the statue, Xuan li stood at the end of the line. While he was waiting, without any reason whatsoever a thought came to him.' Wait a moment, we are entering from the back of the statue doesn't that mean we are going through its butt??!! Is the emperor a pervert?! HAHAHA'

No one had paid that detail any attention and those who had didn't dare to mention it. If one day the emperor were to realize that... It's better left unsaid.

As Xuan li was laughing in his thoughts, A commotion was happening up ahead. A pretty young girl with black hair and purple eyes was sitting inside a luxurious carriage looking at the people in the line with a bored expression on her face.

The Cultivators in the line all seemed excited to see her. "look, look, that's Qing Shan the daughter of the Saint Heart city lord."

"bring your voice down, if her guards hear you talk so disrespectfully they will punish you, call her princess Qing Shan, you idiot!"

"I wonder what she is doing near the gate?"
