Ocean Breeze City

Outside of the carriage was a small city that was fully surrounded in all directions by a tall 5-meter tall made entirely of normal iron. And to any mortal or any cultivator still in the five physical realms, it would certainly look extremely menacing and overbearing, but to Little Wang, it wasn't much stronger than a piece of paper.

However, that wasn't what Xue Bai laughed at. Instead, he was laughing at their less-than-welcome reception.

Currently, in front of their carriage were a few thousand armed soldiers in silver armor holding spears. A standard unit would normally be something to fear, but there was a slight problem. Only a few soldiers were above the Muscle Nourishing Realm, while most of them were in the Blood Exchange Realm.

Xue Bai could even see a few 18-year-old boys who were still in the Vein Transformation Realm.

But the funniest thing of all was the clear arrogance plastered onto the face of the commander heading it all.

The commander at the front of the small army was at the 7th stage of the Muscle Nourishing Realm and wore a fine set of gold armor, which, compared to all of the soldiers under him, certainly looked awe-inspiring. But the gold he used in the armor wasn't a Spiritual Ore, but normal mortal gold.

And on his face was the very same broad smirk Xue Bai had carried before when he showed off his cultivation base during the Soaring Sword Sect's entrance exam.

It was like the commander was just itching for a chance to show off his prestige and might to the citizens of the city while fending off the mysterious invaders of Xue Bai and his bodyguards.

"Little Wang, what did you do to make them act like this?" Xue Bai asked as he regained his composure.

His laughter was making the originally arrogant and confident commander feel apprehensive. If even in the face of him and all of his subordinates, a child could laugh, it was either because of arrogance or ignorance.

But with how luxurious both Xue Bai's clothing and the carriage were, the commander was starting to feel it was the former rather than the latter.

'No, even if a dragon comes to my city, it'll have to coil up! If a tiger dares to come, it'll have to kneel!' The commander pushed down his rising desire to run away as he thought inwardly.

Decades of an uncontested position and life had numbed the once famed commanders' senses with arrogance.

"There wasn't much I could do, Young Master. As soon as the guards saw the carriage, greed overcame them, and they started harassing us. So I slapped them all into oblivion." Big Wang instead answered from above.

And as he did, he also pointed to a patch of dirt that was now completely red, which was most likely what remained of the poor guards.

"Didn't that reveal your power? How could they still dare to come and attack us then?" Xue Bai was confused.

Was stupidity a hereditary trait for anyone living in a cultivation world?

The Wang Twins were also confused about the matter and couldn't give Xue Bai an answer, so they could only shrug in response.

"Show your strength then. I need to search for someone who is living in the city right now. Don't be too rude, though. I don't want to leave a bad reputation." Xue Bai spoke simply.

While Xue Bai could wait for Zhu Que to get chased around by the City Lord before saving her to give himself a better image, that would waste too much time. Other than recruiting Zhu Que, Xue Bai needed to find a specific opportunity that was key to the girl's growth.



Each of the 'Children of the Plane' had a specific thing that they were better at than all of the other ones.

For example, Xiao Mo had the most potential, and Huo Long had the most plot armor. And not unlike her peers, Zhu Que had her own characteristics.





She was the luckiest.

Zhu Que could find a Heaven-grade bloodline in a trash can should she be in the right place. And because of that, she was effectively the greatest treasure finder in the entire Baishen Plane.

But the greatest treasure she ever found was during her early years of cultivation.

A few miles away from the city Xue Bai was currently in was a mountain range that contained a spear that wasn't just important to Zhu Que, but it was practically her logo.

The spear was a long 2-meter spear that was entirely blood red, as if he was created in a blood pit. But since it was the signature weapon of a 'Child of the Plane,' how could it be normal?

In the spear was the will of a Dragon God who once lived in the Immortal Realm that would give its bloodline, which was slightly worse than Xue Bai's being at the Middle Heaven-grade. While also giving her his cultivation techniques and a few dozen Martial and Movement techniques to her before finally dissipating.

It also told her that the spear was made from his corpse, making it a weapon unrivaled in the Baishen Plane.

Now equipped with a peak Earth-grade Martial Vein, a bloodline of even higher value, and a spear made from the corpse of a God Great Realm dragon, Zhu Que would become the powerhouse she was destined to be.

And as tempting as it was, Xue Bai didn't think he would be able to steal the spear.

With all of the other chances Xue Bai had intercepted from the plot, all of them were random Natural Treasures that Huo Long or Zhu Que could do without. Yggdrasil didn't count, as Xiao Mo wasn't fated to get it in this timeline.

But the dragon spear was the symbol of Zhu Que. Something tightly intertwined with her fate. Attempting to steal the dragon spear would almost certainly result in a Luck Backlash.

So Xue Bai planned to move attention elsewhere within the Secret Realm and plunder everything else in there.

The Secret Realm was equipped with countless Natural Treasures that would speed up Zhu Que's cultivation speed dozens of times.

With them, Xue Bai was confident he could reach the peak of the Bone Strengthening Realm within two weeks.

Of course, this would also slightly slow down the progress of Zhu Que, but Xue Bai planned to make it up to the girl. Either by making Yue Zifeng accept her as a disciple or in some other manner.

Away from Xue Bai's thoughts, Big Wang finally unleashed his cultivation base, throwing the entire city into a panic.

"Bring your City Lord here. We are looking for someone who is currently residing inside of it." Big Wang spoke as he once again concealed his aura.

From what he sensed in the city using his Spiritual Sense, he could tell that no one was even in the Qi Sea Realm, let alone a realm closer to him.

So when he concealed his aura, he looked like a normal 30-year-old man, but as everyone in the city had already felt superhuman power, no one dared to think of him as one.

Following his command, the commander of the small army rushed into the city as fast as his meager cultivation allowed him lest Big Wang felt annoyed and destroyed the city with a palm.

Even though he was usually arrogant and tyrannical, if the entire city were destroyed, the commander didn't think he would be able to escape either.

The city that Xue Bai was currently standing outside was named Ocean Breeze City after the ocean that was only a few miles away from it.

And while its structure and atmosphere were primitive to Xue Bai and the Wang Twins, to the commander currently running through it, Ocean Breeze City was the epitome of peak living conditions.

However, he didn't have time to indulge in its architecture, as he was sprinting through the city without caring for his image in order to fulfill Big Wang's request.

Thankfully the city wasn't too large in diameter, so while his cultivation was small, the commander was able to quickly reach the City Lord's Mansion that was built in the center of Ocean Breeze City.

"City Lord! City Lord! The enemies outside demand your presence!" The commander shouted with care for his image as he ran into the mansion.

His words immediately created an uproar within the mansion, but the commander cared little for the reactions of the servants around and continued his way to the main hall where the City Lord was currently.

"Commander Fang, speak slowly." The City Lord spoke with some confusion in his tone.

In the main hall, there were only two people, one a tall, middle-aged man with grayed temples and some faint wrinkles and the other a young man who, like 70% like the City Lord.

The City Lord was named Chen Li, while his son next to him was named Chen Kun.

The two were obviously in the middle of a deep discussion, but after seeing the usually calm and indifferent Commander Fang run inside the main hall with such fear and panic on his face, they stopped speaking and turned in his direction.

He had also felt Big Wang's aura sweep over the city, but without any information, he had planned to try and let his son escape while he faced the enemy.

But after hearing Commander Fang's words, he dropped the conversation with his son and waited for Commander Fang to speak his mind.

"The people outside who killed our guards are much stronger than I thought they were." Commander Fang spoke fearfully, "They demand your presence outside."

"Do you know what they want, Commander?" Chen Li asked before asking a follow-up, "Are they hostile?"

If they were hostile, his only hope was to get his family to escape through a planned escape route before going to face the enemy alone.

Ensuring the survival of his bloodline was the last thing he could do as a father.

Thankfully the Commander eased his fears.

"No, while they had killed the guards, it was only because they had tried extorting the nobles in the carriage. After that, they killed no one but instead spoke of their needs." Commander Fang answered.

"Then what do they want?" This time Chen Kun spoke.

Sending his father off to face powerful enemies capable of engulfing the entire Ocean Breeze City with their aura alone didn't sit very well with the young man, so he at least wanted to know why his father would leave.

"The Young Miss inside of the carriage said she was looking for someone who was living inside Ocean Breeze City currently." Commander Fang answered.

Hearing the request, Chen Li became silent and began to think about his options. However, after a few minutes of thinking, he realized he didn't have any. It was either staying inside and angering the powerhouse of unknown power and potentially facing extermination or going out to see what they wanted.

So after sighing deeply, Chen Li stood up, "Commander Feng, lead the way."

He had no choice!
