The ancient city was majestic, covering an extremely large area. Its walls were fiery red, looking magnificent and grandiose.

According to Toady, the ancient cities in the worlds of the Supreme Realm had already existed since the ancient era, and their exact age was untraceable.

Each ancient city was like a stronghold that would soon be bustling with activity after the Supreme Realm descended, bringing together the cultivators in the same world and allowing them to conduct exchanges.

To be exact, they would exchange the opportunistic fortunes they had obtained.

After all, the fortunes they had acquired might not be what their cultivation required, and the ancient cities made it possible to swap them around!

Swish~

Lin Xun shapeshifted into an ordinary man with unremarkable features before approaching the distant Burning Immortal Ancient City.

Before he even arrived, he could see countless powerful auras coiling around the city, disturbing the air and clouds in the sky.

Obviously, many experts had soon arrived at the city, and the powerful auras emanating from them had caused such a phenomenon.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

A myriad of cultivators were still coming from all directions at a fast speed, and Lin Xun was among them.

“Did you hear? Just yesterday, someone sold a Greenwood Dao Origin Fruit and sparked the attention of ten parties!” discussed someone on the way.

“Heavens! Is there really such a divine thing in this world? Not a legend?”

The news made many people restless.

Even Lin Xun was taken aback, Dao Yuan Fruits contained the power of the grand dao’s origin. Eating one of them would allow the cultivators to directly master a grand dao without having to comprehend it!

Just like how the discussed Greenwood Dao Origin Fruit contained the wood grand dao truths, and the person who consumed it would immediately grasp the wood grand dao.

“That’s a huge fortune! Who bought it?” someone asked.

“Heh, how could this kind of transaction be published? But I can tell you that without sufficient abilities, the seller would definitely be targeted for possessing this kind of heaven-defying fortune, and it may even cost them their life!”

Many people took this to heart.

This was the Realm of the Supreme and not the outside world. Here, everything was decided by battle prowess. Without the strength to protect oneself, obtaining heaven-defying fortunes would end up being a misfortune instead!

On the way, Lin Xun also learned that the topmost figures and ancient freaks of the ancient lineages didn’t have to bother with finding fortunes at all. Their attendants would do that for them.

Therefore, they only needed to just focus on cultivating. Only the appearance of an extremely grand, heaven-defying fortune would be able to make them act in person.

“Remember, killing is forbidden in the city. If you have grudges, then you must find another place to settle them. These are the rules, and violating them will invite suppression from all forces.”

Before entering the city, Lin Xun learned about some of the so-called rules.

Someone laughed coldly. “Hmph! These rules can only bind the weak; there is no constraint at all for the top figures.”

“And that’s where you’re wrong. Even the top figures do not dare to arouse public’s anger. You must know that there are many descendants of the major forces in the city, and each force is presided over by a supreme figure. So, no one would want to become a public enemy unless they are tired of living!”

Listening to the conversations around him, Lin Xun entered the city.

The vast ancient city was a world of its own, looking old and peaceful with a faint, ruddy luster. Every building emitted a mottled ancient charm.

The city was bustling with endless flows of cultivators. Some of the buildings had long been occupied by the big forces that had arrived in advance.

The weaker cultivators could only stay on the streets.

“One piece of Fire Cinnabar Iron, exchanging only for Immortal Resin Teal Grass.”

“This humble one has gotten a hold of a treasure map remnant, and I need the help of seven top-notch experts to explore it. Please come and sign up quickly if you are interested!”

“Buying various king-grade herbs at high prices.”

Everywhere on the road were stalls and vendors hawking their wares.

What made Lin Xun speechless was that some of the ancient buildings had been converted into various kinds of stores, and there were even pawnshops and auction houses!

But immediately, Lin Xun laughed at himself for making a big fuss about it. Since everyone under the King stage was qualified to enter the Supreme Realm, naturally all sorts of people would flock in.

There were people who ventured out to explore fortunes, and there were also people who waited in the city to make acquisitions and trades, each having their own way to get what they needed.

“Pardon me, do you know where the Golden Crow Clan is stationed?” Lin Xun asked a cultivator on the road.

“Do you also plan to join the Golden Crow group?” replied the silver-robed youth after being a little caught off-guard. And then, without waiting for Lin Xun to reply, he enthusiastically said, “I’m also planning to head to the Golden Crow Clan place, why don’t we go together?”

Lin Xun nodded. “Alright.”

On the way, Lin Xun learned that five or six days after he had entered the Supreme Realm, quite a number of loners could only attach themselves to the heirs of the major clans in order to fish for opportunistic fortunes.

This silver-robed youth was planning to do the same.

His name was Wang Dong, a descendant of small power. In fact, in the eyes of the ancient lineages, someone like him was no different from a lone, unsupported cultivator.

“I arrived yesterday and traveled to the Golden Crow territory, but unfortunately, there were too many cultivators who wanted to join them, so I did not get a turn even after lining up for a full day,” lamented Wang Dong.

It was difficult for cultivators like him who came from small sects to rise to prominence. Even though he had entered the Supreme Realm, he could only attach himself to a major force if he wanted to obtain opportunistic fortunes.

“It’s right over there, fellow daoist.” Wang Dong pointed to the distance where there was a towering, majestic ancient palace. There were many people in front of it.

On both sides of the temple entrance, two powerful experts of the Golden Crow Clan stood guard.

“My goodness, time to queue up again.” Wang Dong sighed, then said, “By the way, you need to make an offering in order to join the Golden Crow Clan camp.”

“Make an offering?” Lin Xun was stunned.

“It’s a joining fee. It can be treasures or aeth materials or herbs,” Wang Dong patiently explained.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but reveal a frown. By relying on others, one would be relegated to the role of a cannon-fodder follower. And yet, they were even demanded to give offerings to become cannon fodder. The Golden Crow Clan was truly showing their ugly appetite.

“You want to join our Golden Crow Clan with just a piece of Blue Silver Snow Stone? Hurry up and get lost!”

In front of the temple, a Golden Crow expert was shouting. He appeared mean and ruthless with a hawk-like nose and thin lips. Lifting his hand, he sent the cultivator at the front of the line flying with a slap.

It was really overbearing!

Rejecting someone was one thing, but slapping them was just humiliating them in public.

However, the crowd seemed to be used to it as there was no reaction on their numb faces.

“Next,” said the other expert expressionlessly.

Immediately, the next cultivator in the queue walked up and respectfully presented a jade box with full of anticipation.

“Friend, what are you doing?”

Wang Dong was shocked to see Lin Xun start walking towards the palace without the slightest intention of lining up.

“On the path of cultivation, one first needs to cultivate their mind. If you place your path in the hands of others, your achievements are destined to be limited,” Lin Xun advised him.

However, the stunned Wang Dong didn’t take it seriously. “Theoretically, yes. But who can do it? What’s more, aren’t you also here to join them?”

So what makes you think you can lecture me?

Wang Dong didn’t say this out loud because he had a good impression of Lin Xun and didn’t want to speak ill of him.

Lin Xun inwardly sighed, but then he shook his head and decided not to care about it. Everyone had their own choices and should not be forced.

“What are you doing?! If you want to join the honorable Golden Crow camp, behave and line up at the back!”

The ridiculous thing was that upon seeing Lin Xun marching straight towards the palace, the cultivators in the queue were not happy and all shouted at him.

Wang Dong also anxiously called out, “Friend, come back. Those who cut the line won’t have a good ending!”

Lin Xun ignored it all.

A thin youth sprang out from the queue and blocked Lin Xun, shouting, “What a fool who doesn’t know his place. Do you not see where this is? You think you can act as you please here?”

This skinny youth looked like he was displeased with Lin Xun’s behavior, but in reality, he was trying to showcase his loyalty in front of the Golden Crow experts, hoping to be selected.

Seeing this, the other cultivators in the queue were upset that a good chance to perform was snatched by someone else!

Boom!

The youth jumped out with a strike aiming at Lin Xun’s chest, his palm fierce and glowing with dao light.

The two Golden Crow experts in front of the palace secretly nodded in approval. They already made a decision to give this skinny young man a chance to join them, so as not to disappoint his ‘loyalty.’

At the same time, this could also serve as an example for others, that they would be regarded highly if they wholeheartedly wished to be of service to their Golden Crow Clan.

Bam!

To everyone’s shock, the skinny youth was the one who was sent flying. His right arm was broken, and he hit the ground with a miserable scream.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun hadn’t done anything at all other than continuing to walk forward.

The area went dead silent. The gazes of the queueing cultivators changed as they eyed Lin Xun with a hint of suspicion.

This guy is quite strong. What exactly does he want to do?

“Maybe he’s taking this opportunity to showcase himself and gain the appreciation of the honored Golden Crow experts?” someone muttered.

When the others heard this, their hearts stirred, thinking that this was a much better way to make themselves known than simply toiling in line.

Sure enough, the hawk-nosed expert sized up Lin Xun with a satisfied look. “Not bad, you are qualified to skip the line. Hand in your tribute, and you can serve by my side from now on.”

The injured skinny youth was completely ignored.

When these words rang out, all the cultivators in the queue sighed with jealousy. Why didn’t they think of doing this?

As for Wang Dong, he gawked in shock with his eyes wide open. So you can do it like that?!
