Chapter 55: The Nine Ancient Cities
The history of the Tianzun Empire can be traced upwards, at most a thousand years, even if its predecessor "Dragon Family" is added, it will not exceed three thousand years, but the history of the Emperor Zun Continent itself is extremely long.
It is said that the most distant age can be traced back to the ancient era when there were immortals, and then there are tens of thousands of years ago when there are exact records, the distant ancient years. After that, 3,000 years ago to tens of thousands of years ago, it is called the ancient era. It is worth mentioning that the final formation of the eight sects of the world was in this era, and the top twenty were gradually formed in the past two thousand years, the earliest was the alliance of twelve powerful top forces against the "eight sects of the world", and finally a thousand years ago, that is, after the establishment of the Tianzun Empire, it was completely formed.
In addition to these forces, it is worth mentioning that there are nine ancient cities that are famous all over the world, collectively known as the "Nine Ancient Cities", which are truly ancient cities that have existed for a very long time, and even the youngest one was built at the end of ancient times.
The nine ancient cities are the Ice and Snow King City, the Barbarian King Ancient City, the Zhenyue Ancient City, the Silver Moon Ancient City, the Huangsha Ancient City, the Killing Ancient City, the Hanhai Ancient King City, the Tianhai Ancient Capital, and the Ancient Holy City.
There are many reasons why the Nine Ancient Cities are famous, in addition to the prosperity of commerce, the most important point is that the Nine Ancient Cities were once the forefront of the Terrans, and they were once strong fortresses for the Terrans to resist foreign threats.
Legend has it that at the end of antiquity, the heavens and the earth changed drastically, and a catastrophe occurred in the entire ancient world!
In the following 10,000 years, strange beasts were rampant on the continent, and sea beasts in the sea area hit the land, and wars were everywhere.
The remnants of the Terran forces are trying to survive in the cracks, resisting all kinds of disasters.
During this period, the Emperor Realm cultivators became the top combat force guarding the territory of the human race, and the establishment of every giant city was guarded by the Emperor Realm cultivators, who made great contributions to this. It is said that the name of the continent today appeared to commemorate their exploits.
As time passed, the ancient human race gradually came to their senses and steadily occupied a place in this new continent. At the same time, in order to alleviate the contradictions within the human race, it is also to expand its power. Many kings were divided within the human race, giving them the right to expand their territory, which was also the prototype of the empire of the kingdom in later generations.
The legend of today's nine ancient cities was established at that time, and after several disasters, until now, only these nine ancient cities of the human race have been standing on this continent.
Hanhai Ancient King City, located on the shore of the sea in the extreme east, on the edge of the desperate Red Flame Sea, is one of the nine ancient cities, and it is also a top city with a population of nearly 10 million.
Hanhai Ancient King City, a super city established to resist the large-scale invasion of sea beasts, is still a very important ancient city even now when the human race has completely established the position of overlord, resisting the terrifying calamity of the Red Flame Sea every few hundred years.
The ancient king city of Hanhai is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and faces the Red Flame Sea in the east, which is a key fortress in the eastern part of the human race to resist the tide of sea beasts, and its status is not unimportant, so it is very different from other top cities.
The ancient city of Hanhai was built on the mountain, with the tall peaks on the left and right sides as the city walls, so in fact, there were only two city walls, so the walls of the ancient city of Hanhai were extremely thick. The lowest part of the eastern wall of the royal city is also ten zhang high, and the thickness is nine zhang wide.
The main body of the city wall is composed of hundreds of complete black stones, these black stones are the precious mineral black iron stones that are as hard as fine iron, it is said that thousands of years ago, the city lord of Hanhai King City personally went to a place thousands of miles away, split the mountains and cut off the mountains, and intercepted the most complete hundreds of pieces, even if the cultivators of the King Realm did not go all out, they could only leave a shallow trace on it.
Heavenly Sword City has several teleportation arrays, connecting different large cities and leading to several different directions. With the help of the large teleportation array of Heavenly Sword City, in a very short period of time, Tianhong took Ziyun and Mo Yu across the vast area to reach the city hundreds of thousands of miles away.
After resting for a few days, Tianhong took the two of them to the teleportation array again.
Three days later, in the far east, the ancient royal city of Hanhai. Tianhong took Ziyun and Moyu to this ancient human city.
Arriving at the Hanhai Ancient King City, Tianhong did not immediately go to the next place, but took Ziyun and Mo Yu to temporarily live in the Hanhai Ancient King City.
Hanhai Ancient King City used to be a place of bloody battles, and even though there are no frequent battles like if you go now, the atmosphere in the city is very different from other cities. The people in the ancient royal city were fierce, and the practice of martial arts was prevalent, and the chance of encountering cultivators on the street was several times greater than in other places.
The vendors in the city are also the most popular and most popular to sell weapons and medicinal materials. Of course, there are naturally a lot of other items for sale, but relatively fewer. On this day, Tianhong took Ziyun and Moyu to play in the city, and then took the two of them to the eastern city wall of the ancient king city of Hanhai to feel the ancient and shocking spirit of the bloody battle of the human race!
The ancient city wall is dozens of feet high, the wall is covered with holes and scars, and the black dry blood stains decorate the city wall.
"Uh..." Feeling this breath, Ziyun felt a little uncomfortable, his little face wrinkled slightly, and his face was a little pale staring at the ancient city wall. She didn't pinch her nose, but stubbornly looked directly at the ancient city wall, and her smart and wise eyes contained a stubborn gaze.
Mo Yu was also a little uncomfortable, but his performance was not as obvious as Ziyun's, and he was obviously more adaptable than Ziyun. This is also a reasonable thing, after all, Ziyun has actually only cultivated for three years, and rarely fights in actual combat, lacking this kind of training, and Mo Yu has been dependent on his grandmother since he was a child, and since he has achieved cultivation, he has often gone into the mountains to hunt beasts and even demonic beasts, so he can adapt to this tragic bloody aura more quickly.
Tianhong was also standing under the ancient city wall, he silently felt this breath, and there was some emotion in his heart. Once, when he came here for the first time, Tianhong was very shocked in his heart, he never thought that there was such a place on this continent, which made him respect.
Hanhai Ancient King City was built in ancient times, and its current owners are naturally not the original ones, to be precise, its owners have changed dozens or hundreds of times. Eternal time can wipe out everything, there is no immortal power, and there are no immortal people. Everything is the replacement of the old by the new, and the present is passed away and the Ming Dynasty comes.
The reason why the Nine Great Cities are the Nine Great Cities instead of the Ten Ten and Eleventh is not only because it was a strategic place for the Terran race, but also because the current Nine Ancient Cities not only represent the Nine Cities, but also represent a powerful alliance of Ancient Cities.
The nine ancient cities, even the weakest one, also represent a high power, and the strongest one is a strong person with a top level in the continent, so the union of the nine cities naturally forms a powerful alliance comparable to the top twenty forces.
However, due to the particularity of the Nine Great Cities, in fact, the Nine Cities Alliance is a force that has always been outside the situation in the world.
Tianhong sighed in his heart, and suddenly turned around and looked into the distance.
In the distance, in the Red Flame Sea, about a dozen miles away, several rainbow lights quickly approached the eastern wall of the Hanhai Ancient King City.
"Battle report! Level 5 Battle Report! There is an abnormality in the sea area west of the Red Flame Sea!! ”
"Go to the City Lord's Mansion and report to the City Lord!!"
With a few panicked shouts, the rainbow light quickly fell in front of the east city gate, and then quickly rushed into the city wall.
