Of course, the Dao aura in the city was no longer as dense as it was back then. Still, it was now comparable to the Dao aura exuded by a 30th-level Dao realm expert.
From this, it could be seen that the Daoyuan expert in charge of this city back then had not been weak.
Chu Xuan suspected that this city used to belong to some family, and that the Daoyuan realm expert was that family's ancestor.
Furthermore, it was definitely not a human city. Back then, no human force had occupied a city, and human Daoyuan realm experts remained hidden.
Some probably even left the nine zones to avoid being hunted down by the other overlord races.
Before the previous Great Dao era, Daoyuan realm experts could freely leave the nine zones and head into the chaos.
Now, Only those whose Dao path to a certain length and width could leave the nine zones, which was due to the three races trying to eliminate the Great Dao calamity back then.
…
Fengkong's Jade Crystal Palace had been activated recently, from which he obtained a powerful celestial race technique.
This was within his expectations, and could be considered Fengkong's opportunity.
In fact, Chu Xuan was certain that even if Wang Luo had not saved him back then, Fengkong would have recovered by now.
The Jade Crystal Palace was something prepared by a celestial race Daoyuan realm expert. That person would not have sat idle and allowed Fengkong to die, lest their plans for the nine zones be thwarted.
In the Great Dao Communication Group, Kingslayer was about to make his move..
"Master, I'm about to enter the calamity."
The Kingslayer's Extreme Dao of Slaughter required him to cultivate through slaughter, which there was plenty of during the calamity.
"Why do you want to enter the calamity??"
"Master, I gained new insights, and will no longer kill indiscriminately. I wish to seek out the true Extreme Dao of Slaughter, and the Great Daoyuan calamity is the best opportunity for this."
"There's no suitable opponent for you in the nine zones. Just wait a little longer."
"Yes, Master!"
Kingslayer did not dare to disobey Chu Xuan's instructions.
Chu Xuan pondered this matter briefly. When a 10th-level Dao realm expert entered the calamity, that would be the right time for Kingslayer, a 12th-level Dao realm expert, to do so as well.
Once he did, his cultivation level would probably increase by leaps and bounds. The calamity was the perfect place for him to grow.
"The city in the sky of the Desolate Ancient Zone is not simple. I saw a peerless genius here. He's too powerful."
Ying Kong popped up.
At the same time, he used his Dao aura to transmit the image of the city in the sky and sent it to the group.
Chu Xuan was surprised. Ying Kong was actually in the city in the sky.
The others in the group chat started to question Ying Kong about the situation.
Ying Kong answered them one by one. He focused on boasting about how powerful Xiao Liang and Hu Tianya were, and how they suppressed other experts.
"It's a pity that their cultivation levels are too low. Otherwise, they would be good opponents," Kingslayer said regretfully.
Many others in the group chat expressed their eagerness to enter the calamity.
"Since Senior Chu gathered us all in this group, if we meet in the outside world, we should help each other and overcome the Great Daoyuan calamity together," Luo Xinbai suddenly said.
Everyone expressed their approval. In any case, so far, there was no one with life or death grudges among the group chat members.
Moreover, it was true that Chu Xuan had brought them together, so they could not help but wonder if this was his intention in the first place.
"However, we need something by which to recognize each other. Something no one else has or will recognize," someone said.
Huang Long jumped out. "That's easy. I'll give each of you a time jade token and leave a special mark on it. Whoever holds the token is one of ours."
Mo Tu also chimed in, "Make a unique mark for each person. If the jade token's mark does not match the user's mark, it means that the jade token was stolen from a group member. In that case, everyone should do their best to kill that person."
The Dao realm experts in the dao group were all excited. The jade tokens would be created by Huang Long, a Daoyuan realm expert, and could be considered special treasures.
Huang Long started to transfer the time jade tokens to the group chat members.
Chu Xuan was amused by this. Still, if the group chat members entered the calamity and got into conflict with his disciples, it would be troublesome.
Therefore, he had to give the jade tokens to his disciples as well to avoid this unwanted scenario.
"I have some people in the nine zones. Don't get into a conflict with them. You'll understand when you see them."
Chu Xuan did not reveal that they were his disciples.
This was to prevent these guys from constantly flattering his disciples to curry favor with him."
"Understood, Senior Chu."
Hong Yuanchu and the other Daoyuan realm experts were surprised, and wondered who these people were and what Daoist Chu's instructions were for them.
Was Daoist Chu trying to maintain the order of the nine zones?
In any case, this was a good thing.
…
Chu Xuan used the Dao aura of the Origin Dao Crystal to leave marks on his disciples to avoid conflict with the cultivators from the Great Dao Communication Group.
Another three years had passed.
Su Xian'er was also about to break through to the Dao realm.
Chu Pingfan had killed a Dao realm cultivator who had been chasing him.
The battle for the city in the sky's supreme treasure had also come to an end, and the results were about to be revealed.
It was worth mentioning that Ding Yue had also entered the city in the sky a year and a half ago.
In the end, Chu Xuan's disciples had joined forces.
Ying Kong also chose to support them.
The supreme treasure of the city in the sky was actually a lump of chaotic energy, and also a special Dao principle.
Ding Yue and the others ignored the special Dao principle, as it was not something they had cultivated, and was rather useless in that regard.
Moreover, who knew if there were problems with the Dao principle, and instead focused on the lump of chaotic energy, which was sufficiently large to split between themselves.
Chu Xuan decided that he would pass on more techniques to his disciples after he reached the Daoyuan realm.
At the same time, he would also purify the aura left behind by a certain fellow in his disciples' bodies.
