Chapter 763 I'm Back
Alex and the others arrived at the formation outside of the secret realm.
"Are we here?" Qin Shan asked.
"Yes," Alex said without even looking around. Looking around wasn't going to help a lot anyway given how much change the place had been through in the last 10 years.
"What do we do now, Al?" Helen asked.
Alex brought out a compass device and checked the direction. "The place where I'm to go Scarlet City is in that direction about half a day's worth of flight on our ships."
"Or we can go to the capital first, the Cardinal city that's just an hour away in that direction," Alex said.
"Let's go to the capital first. I want to start from the place where the Fu Ancestor established his own empire," Qin Shan said.
"Very well, let's fly to the capital then," Alex said.
Qin Shan brought out his ship which could house all 3 of them and the two beasts. Then, he launched towards the direction Alex pointed to.
Alex didn't directly take them to the capital but instead towards the east side of the capital.
He didn't want to be seen coming from the south as that would cause too many questions that he didn't want to give answers to.
"The Qi here is quite weak," Qin Shan casually mentioned as he flew.
"Yes, this place was most likely hit quite hard in the war that took place 5 thousand years ago," Alex said casually as well.
"Huh? War? 5 thousand years ago? What are you talking about?" Qin Shan asked curiously.
"Uh… I will explain later," he said. "Just know that this place doesn't have many Saint rank spirit veins."
"I see," Qin Shan said as he continued looking at the scenery.
The group soon reached the eastern wall of the capital city. They landed on top of one of the mountains and then flew down to the ground.
As they walked towards the city gates, Alex noticed some things hovering near them in the sky. It wasn't him that noticed them however, everyone did.
"Does your empire like showing off their ships or what?" Qin Shan asked after seeing the massive ships that hovered outside the capital.
"Those are most likely the ships belonging to the many sects. They put it out here to show the people that they are here. It's a pride thing I guess," Alex said.
"Your capital doesn't seem that big. Does it have that many sects?" Qin Shan asked curiously.
"No, these ships are from sects all around the empire. If I'm not mistaken, there should be an annual competition taking place inside, which is why so many sects are gathered in this place," Alex said.
"Oh, a competition huh? I'm curious to see just how your competition goes," Qin Shan said.
Alex turned around to the jaguar and asked, "Senior, are you coming in with us too?"
He wanted to tell the jaguar to stay outside, but he couldn't bring himself to be this rude.
"Don't worry, unless they are in the Saint realm, their perception will pass away from me," the jaguar said.
He then activated some sort of technique that made Alex unfocused and lazy when he looked toward him. Every time he tried to pay attention to him, his eyes would drift away and look at the ground beside him.
It wasn't until he used his spiritual sense that he managed to keep track of the jaguar.
"That's… such a weird skill," Alex said.
"It's nothing compared to yours that can completely hide your aura from anyone in your own rank," the jaguar said.
The group reached the gate and quickly paid their way in. On the way, Alex asked if there was a competition going on inside. When he found out there was, he asked what day of the competition it was.
According to the guards, today was the Top 64 competition, which was going to start anytime soon now.
'Top 64,' Alex thought. Which meant if the competitions hadn't changed in the 10 years, there would be the beast competitions and the maze competition this day.
Alex made his way through the city and arrived at the coliseum not long after. Since they had come from the eastern side of the city, it barely took them any time to get there.
Alex purchased 3 tickets for themselves and walked into the coliseum. The halls weaved and wove through the coliseum before popping them out to the audience stand.
Alex turned to look towards the sects, but no one was there yet. 'They must be getting registered,' Alex thought.
After waiting for a while, the sects started coming out one after another.
Blue robes, red robes, orange robes, green robes, and all sorts of robed figures walked out onto the stands.
