Chapter 1556

Zi Chen had arrived at the Shuntian Prefecture long ago, but unfortunately, he was stopped at the main entrance. The reason was that Zi Chen did not have a prefecture token to enter or leave the city.

It was said that to enter and exit the huge city of the Shuntian Prefecture, one must have a prefecture token.

And this prefecture token could only be obtained in the Shuntian Prefecture.

Zi Chen intended to reveal his cultivation, but was despised by the guard. In this Shuntian Prefecture, without a strong strength, it was impossible to enjoy special treatment.

The other party pointed to the long line and said, "Do you see that? Those are all waiting to enter the Shuntian Prefecture. They all have to line up obediently to apply for the prefecture token."

Seeing the line of more than a hundred people, Zi Chen was speechless. However, when he heard that the Large Competition was about to begin today, he was also very anxious.

And these people were obviously here to join in the fun.

There was no shortcut at all. Just as Zi Chen had no choice but to obediently line up to apply for the prefecture token, he suddenly felt a familiar aura coming from the city.

With a thought, he sensed that the familiar aura was rapidly approaching.

Zi Chen grabbed the token that flew over from the Shuntian Prefecture with a slightly astonished expression.

The Domain realm cultivators who were going in and out of the gate also saw the token that flew out, and all of them curiously sized up Zi Chen.

To be able to make a token fly out of the Shuntian Prefecture, everyone was guessing Zi Chen's identity in their hearts.

Zi Chen took the token and looked at it carefully, but he could not see anything special about it. There was only a trace of his soul aura within it.

"Why would a token with my soul aura appear in the city?" Regarding this, Zi Chen was very puzzled.

Zi Chen walked back to the guard who had blocked the way earlier, handed over the token in his hand, and asked, "Is this a prefecture token?"

The other party took it and looked at it carefully. He shook his head and said with certainty, "No."

"It's not a prefecture token, but it flew out from inside. Can I go in?" Zi Chen took the token and asked again.

The guard's eyes were filled with doubt. He clearly did not recognize what kind of token this was, nor did he know if Zi Chen had the qualifications to enter.

Helpless, he could only look for the leader of the guards.

When the latter heard about Zi Chen's special situation, he immediately rushed over. After carefully examining the token several times, he shook his head.

"You can't enter," Zi Chen said.

"I don't know," said the guard leader.

This kind of Domain Realm Battle Qualification Token only appeared once every many years, and each time, the quantity was extremely limited. There were less than ten pieces in each city, and only the people involved and the upper echelons could see them.

They had always lived in Shuntian Prefecture, so how could they possibly recognize the battle medallion?

Usually, cultivators who had a battle token would directly appear in Shuntian Prefecture. In a situation like Zi Chen's, this was the first time in history. Naturally, they would not think about the battle token.

A single token stumped all the guards. Everyone shook their heads. The curiosity in the eyes of the other realms grew as they tried to guess what kind of token it was.

Zi Chen was speechless. It was fine if the other party didn't recognize the token and let him go, but they didn't let him go even if they didn't recognize it.

At this moment, Zi Chen heard the sound of something tearing through the air. Immediately after, he sensed a familiar aura.

"Zi Chen."

Following a surprised and excited cry, Zi Chen saw a beautiful figure flying out of the city.

"Swoosh."

The beautiful figure arrived in front of Zi Chen and hugged Zi Chen.

Just as everyone was dumbfounded, another green light flashed out and rushed to Zi Chen's side, hugging Zi Chen from the other side.

In the blink of an eye, the young man who didn't have the qualifications to enter Shuntian Prefecture started hugging left and right.

However, it wasn't over yet. Following that, the sound of something tearing through the air continued to ring out, and one figure after another appeared.

Each of these figures emitted a powerful aura. As many auras appeared, the space around the city gate began to tremble. Some of the cultivators who were only at the Second or Third Heavenly Layer felt extremely oppressed.

The expressions of the surrounding cultivators changed instantly. When they looked at the figure who was hugging left and right again, their eyes were filled with intense fear.

These people had obviously come for him. The auras surging around them were too powerful.

"Haha, Zi Chen, I knew you weren't dead." Shuntian Dao was the first to laugh.

"My divination was right. Zi Chen, you really came." The Fortune Teller also laughed.

"Have you divined before?" Man Shi questioned, but he couldn't hide the excitement on his face.

"Why are all of you here?" Zi Chen looked at the people who had arrived. He couldn't suppress the excitement on his face.

After a momentary loss of composure, Dong Qing and Shangguan Hong's emotions returned to normal. Speaking of which, the two women had been separated by life and death so many times in the Manor Realm that they no longer suppressed their feelings.

When the people around them heard the discussion and were guessing who Zi Chen was, they saw that Zi Chen, who had let go of the beauty, began to hug the others.

The cultivators who were emitting powerful auras all looked excited. They seemed to be his friends. In addition to their excitement, they also noticed that a few of them looked reserved and respectful.

In the end, the guy called Zi Chen hugged an outrageously beautiful woman in a golden dress.

Beside the woman was a young man. The young man had a disgusted look on his face.

Zi Chen looked at Ye Ming and asked with a smile, "You guys aren't married, right?"

Ye Ming's expression immediately turned grave.

Zi Chen laughed and joked, "That's great. I still have a chance."

Ye Ming's eyes were spitting fire. Jin Qingcheng looked shy, which was rare.

"Why are all of you here? Aren't you going to participate in the competition?" Zi Chen turned around and asked the crowd in confusion.

"We're going to participate, but we're missing one person," Shuntian Dao said with a smile.

"One person is missing," Zi Chen was stunned when he heard that, then he said in hindsight, "Could it be that this token has something to do with the competition?"

Next to him, Dark Screen nodded and said, "This is the qualification token for the competition. There are five people in each city. You're the fifth person in Huping City."

Next to him, Shangguan Hong corrected, "You're the first person."

More and more cultivators gathered at the entrance as the crowd appeared. Hearing that these people were here to participate in the competition, all of them looked envious.

Clearly, these people who could participate in the competition here were all geniuses.

No matter the result of the competition, these people would definitely achieve great things in the future. This was truly a gathering of geniuses.

Zi Chen was not famous in Shuntian Prefecture. However, in the 653 cities under Shuntian Prefecture, Zi Chen's name was extremely famous in Huping City.

Any organization that paid attention to the Prefecture Realm would know that there was a cultivator named Zi Chen in Huping City who had obtained a great opportunity in the Prefecture Realm.

"Is that him?"

The Prefecture Lord, who had been paying attention to the square, suddenly looked outside the city when he saw this scene. He saw the black-robed young man.

The scholarly man was silent, but there was a rare hint of seriousness in his expression.

The Prefecture Lord nodded without saying anything.

The two of them sized up Zi Chen and watched as the geniuses gathered in front of Zi Chen. Apart from the excitement of meeting friends, these people all had looks of admiration on their faces.

"I'm suddenly curious about what happened in the Prefecture Realm," Shuntian Prefecture Lord said.

"You should have been curious a long time ago," the scholarly man said.

The scholarly cultivator said, "He's the reason why the Manor Realm forcefully raised a city's ranking by 75 places against the rules."

"Oh, there's such a thing? Why didn't I know about it?" Shuntian Prefecture Lord asked curiously.

The scholarly man smiled but did not say anything.

"Alright, now is not the time to reminisce. The other side is still waiting. If they get angry and disqualify us, we will lose more than we gain." Wu Xie interrupted everyone's reminiscing.

They had not been in a hurry earlier because Zi Chen had not come. Now that Zi Chen was here, they were full of confidence about their upcoming trip to the Small World. That was why they were anxious.

When the guard learned of Zi Chen's identity before entering the city, he tactfully did not continue to stop them.

When the group returned to the square again, Zi Chen, who had appeared, undoubtedly became the focus of everyone's attention.

It was obvious that the token had flown away because of him. Soon after, many experts left.

Even the favorites to win the championship, Shuntian Dao and Fortune Teller, left happily.

When they saw Zi Chen, everyone sized him up carefully.

Under the gaze of the Demon Token, Zi Chen walked up to the high platform, took out the token, and said, "Zi Chen from Huping City."

Although they had already guessed it, the expressions of the other Domain Realm cultivators changed when they heard it.

It turned out that he was Zi Chen.

Among those of the same level, Zi Chen had defeated Shuntian Dao and Fortune Teller. He had obtained great fortune in the Prefectural Realm.

He was the main reason why Huping City's ranking had risen to more than 15 places.

Now, he was exuding the aura of a peak fourth-stage Domain Realm. Although Zi Chen's cultivation level was obviously the lowest among the contestants, no one dared to underestimate him.

Demon Token looked at Zi Chen with a rare smile of appreciation. He stepped forward and patted Zi Chen on the shoulder. "You are Zi Chen. Kid, I heard that you did something amazing in the Prefectural Realm."

Zi Chen replied modestly, "Sir, you flatter me. I just did my duty. It's really nothing amazing."

Demon Token laughed heartily. "Haha, what a good duty. I like that. Kid, you are my type. I hope you can do your duty this time."

Envy and jealousy appeared on the faces of the onlookers who had looked down on the contestants from afar when they heard Demon Token's words.

Obviously, to be so highly regarded by Mo Ling, no matter what happened next, the young man named Zi Chen would be able to do well in Shuntian Prefecture. If he was lucky enough to become one of Mo Ling's direct subordinates, then his future would be limitless.

It was rumored that Demon Token had the highest chance of breaking through to the Emperor Realm and becoming the next Prefectural Master.

As for his direct subordinates, their futures were naturally limitless.

As the contestants returned to their positions, a Small World opened in front of the high platform. The tokens on the contestants' bodies started to glow. Then, the teams disappeared one by one.

The five tokens were connected to each other. When they appeared in the Small World, each team would stay together.
