Chapter 618: City of First Seal
"Brother Lu, that is the City of First Seal."
At the front of the magic boat, which was more than ten feet in size, Zhong Lian pointed to the huge city dozens of miles away and said to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan naturally knew that this was the City of First Seal, but he didn't say anything. He just looked at it silently from afar.
Zhong Lian, who was standing by, raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and then continued, "Brother Lu may not know that there are two Saint Ancestors in charge of the First Seal City. In addition, there are 20 to 30 Demon Lords, including the Elders Council. Even for Daoists like us who have reached the late stage of the Demon Sect, there are no less than a hundred of them. Therefore, Daoist friends, please be cautious in your words and actions after entering the city."
"Thank you, Brother Zhong, for the reminder." Lu Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes still fixed on the towering city walls, secretly thinking about the many variables that might arise when entering the city this time.
The magic boat sped towards the city.
At this time, many similar magic boats gradually appeared in the surrounding sky, slowly circling around the huge City of the First Seal, as if they were patrolling and guarding.
The magic boat that Lu Yuan was riding on naturally attracted their attention quickly because it was heading straight for the City of First Seal.
But when the magic boat approached, Zhong Lian cast a spell and a large black flag was immediately erected above the magic boat, with a group of strange symbols embroidered on it with silver thread.
And with the appearance of this big flag, the magic boats that had rushed over turned around and returned.
"We, the Night Owl Guard, are directly under the command of the Elders' Council and enjoy some privileges in this City of First Seal. I wonder if Brother Lu is interested in joining the Night Owl Guard. The elders will definitely value a powerful figure like you." Zhong Lian laughed and tentatively invited him.
Lu Yuan shook his head slightly. "Thank you for your kindness. However, I'm new here. Brother Zhong, please allow me to get a general idea of the city's situation."
Zhong Lian did not force it and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, then it's up to Brother Lu."
While the two were talking, the magic boat had already reached the hundred-foot-high city wall outside the City of First Seal.
At this moment, they were facing a city gate on the city wall that was about tens of feet high and over a hundred feet wide.
Just when Lu Yuan thought that Zhong Lian would lower the magic boat, Zhong Lian had no scruples at all and flew straight towards the sky above the city wall, as if he was going to pass by horizontally.
The demon guards wanted to stop it, but upon seeing the strange symbols on the black flag, they all bowed in salute. The demon boat passed through the city wall without hindrance.
As soon as I crossed the city wall, after a ripple in front of my eyes, I saw that as far as the eye could see, there were huge black towers towering into the clouds. They were densely distributed in the city, and it seemed that there was no end in sight.
Lu Yuan stood at the front of the magic boat and passed through the giant towers.
Some of these giant towers have each floor about two or three feet high, while others are more than ten feet high, which looks a bit messy.
However, when Lu Yuan saw the demons of various sizes coming in and out of the giant towers, he understood that these giant towers should have been built according to the demons of different races.
"This is the residence of the low-level guards. Now there are nearly 100 million demon guards stationed here in the entire First Seal Land." Zhong Lian saw that Lu Yuan's eyes kept lingering on the nearby giant towers, and explained at the right time.
As he spoke, he pointed forward and said, "People like us will live in the central area of the City of First Seal."
Lu Yuan then channeled his magical power into his eyes and gazed into the distance. In the center, in the distance, he could vaguely see rows of towers and pavilions. There were countless buildings, some a thousand feet high, and some a hundred feet high. Each building looked like an ordinary structure magnified several times over.
However, after just one glance, Lu Yuan retracted his gaze and continued to observe the demon guards entering and leaving the giant tower.
The realms of these demons are mostly equivalent to the Jindan or Yuanying stage. They all wear uniform black armor, which looks a bit similar to the real demon armor condensed by the demons in the Shenhua stage.
But what surprised Lu Yuan the most was that the armor was engraved with densely packed light silver runes.
Moreover, the lower the demon's cultivation level, the more mysterious the silver runes on the armor are, and faint runes float around from time to time, making people know the extraordinary nature of the armor at first sight.
That seems to be?
Silver tadpole script!
Lu Yuan's heart couldn't help but tighten.
"Friend Zhong, the armor on these guards..." Lu Yuan turned his head to look at the bald Zhong Lian.
"Hehe, Brother Lu is really sharp-eyed. He saw the key point right away." Zhong Lian chuckled, then frowned slightly and continued, "But if you ask me about the specific origin of this armor, I'm afraid you will be disappointed.
This kind of armor has existed since the establishment of the Land of the First Seal. Only beings of the Saint Ancestor's level are qualified to know about the runes on it.
But one thing is clear: the armor itself isn't particularly strong. Its only use is to mitigate the impact of the moth qi on the lower-level guards' primordial spirits. Otherwise, given the level of cultivation these guards possess, in the conditions of the First Seal Land, they would have long since been eroded by the moth qi and transformed into its vassals.
However, when one reaches the Divine General realm, he can already rely on his own cultivation to ignore the erosion of the moth spirit on his soul, so naturally he does not need to wear this armor.
"Is that so? It seems that I am having some unrealistic thoughts." Lu Yuan looked very disappointed when he heard this, but he probably understood it in his heart.
In the past, in order to seal the mother of corn borers, two inspectors from the True Immortal Realm used the method of possession to control two demon ancestors, and used this to build the place of the initial seal. It is believed that this silver tadpole script was passed down from that time.
As the two were talking, the magic boat sped away, heading straight for a thousand-foot-high palace not far away.
This pavilion seems somewhat out of place among the surrounding giant towers. It is divided into ten floors from top to bottom, and each floor has an entrance. In the middle is a gate about thirty meters high, with a silver plaque with three large characters "Teleportation Hall" written on it.
When the magic boat flew close to the entrance of the eighth floor of this palace, it was taken away by Zhong Lian.
"You guys go back first. Senior Lu and I still have some things to do." Zhong Lian ordered his men coldly.
Upon hearing this, those people bowed slightly and then headed down to the sixth floor of the teleportation hall.
"Brother Lu, please."
After entering the eighth floor, I saw a small hall with six or seven corridors leading to other directions.
In the small hall, there was an old man with white hair and a pale face. He was sitting there with his eyes slightly closed, looking calm and composed.
As soon as Lu Yuan and Zhong Lian entered, the man immediately noticed it and looked over with half-open eyes.
"Hey, isn't this Brother Zhong? You actually managed to escape from the sea of insects?" After the old man saw who was coming, his half-open eyes widened immediately.
