The Divine Urban Physician

“This place is probably a thousand miles wide, and it looks like there are probably many sects stationed here,” Ye Chen muttered as he entered the city. As he walked along the streets, he saw disciples of various sects. Some wore green robes, some wore gold robes, and some wore black and white robes. However, they all had one thing in common. Their sect’s symbol was embroidered on their chests.

‘Passing just two streets, I saw members of more than ten different sects.’

‘Their clothes are at least ninth-grade spiritual artifacts, and some have pseudo immortal artifacts. It seems that the disciples here are quite wealthy, or at least their sects are.’

Even the basic attire distributed by the sects were ninth-grade spiritual artifacts or pseudo immortal artifacts, and this was for tens of thousands of disciples.

This scene reminded him of the first time he had entered the Kunlun Mountains, wherein he could find many more treasures and high-level resources compared to Huaxia.

“Let’s find a place to sort out the loot first before scrounging around for information,” he muttered.

He was a seventh-level Supreme Emperor realm cultivator, so no one paid him any attention. After all, there were dozens of Semi Divine realm cultivators on the street, so his presence there did not even make a splash.

Soon, he made his way to the center of the city. In a huge open-air square, several experts floated in the air.

Ye Chen focused his gaze and saw a total of eight experts, each of which were Divine King realm experts who exuded impressive auras. There were also a crowd of people gathered around, and it seemed like they were waiting for those eight Divine King realm experts to announce something.

Among the eight people, there was an old man in embroidered clothes who came from the Jindao Sect.

He stroked his white beard and smiled. “Everyone in Heavenly Spirit City, listen up. The Hundred Sect Universe Competition will be held in the Myriad Mountain Valley at the border between Ancient Spirit City and Heavenly Spirit City!”

“It will be jointly organized by the top one hundred sects of this domain.”

“In the past, the Jindao Sect, the Zhenkong Temple, the Flying Crane Palace, and the Purple Forest Sect led the other sects to organize it. But now, these four sects have decided to open the competition to the surrounding cities!”

“Any warrior below the Divine King realm, as long as their age is below 3,000 years old, can participate!”

“Tomorrow, you can register at the south gate of Heavenly Spirit City. I believe you will cherish this opportunity. The top 2,000 participants of the Hundred Sect Universe Competition will be eligible to enter the ruins of the Golden Buddha Sect and obtain the treasures within!”

As soon as these words were uttered, the crowd boiled over with excitement. They were so happy that they were about to cheer!

The ruins of the Golden Buddha Sect!

In the past, this sect had a dozen Primordial Chaos realm experts and over a hundred Divine King realm experts!

There were bound to be countless treasures within the ruins, and if they got lucky, these treasures would allow them to increase their strength and cultivation level significantly!

“Great!”

“Surprisingly, the Hundred Sects are willing to open the Golden Buddha Sect’s ruins to everyone. Are they not afraid that their disciples won’t be able to compete with us?”

“Top two thousand! One of those spots will be mine for sure,” a young warrior beside him muttered to himself happily.

“Brother, two thousand? Why is it such a large number?” Ye Chen was curious, so he asked, “Can the ruins of a sect really accommodate two thousand people?”

Ye Chen was naturally interested in the Golden Buddha Sect, as the black stone had confirmed that it was related to the Samsara Graveyard.

“Hahaha, little brother, it seems that you have not been cultivating for long and haven’t heard much about this matter.”

“The Golden Buddha Sect was a medium-sized sect,” the young cultivator explained with a smile, “The territory of the sect is twice the size of Heavenly Spirit City!”

“Do you know how many people live in Heavenly Spirit City?”

“Probably ten million.” Ye Chen thought about it and gave a suitable answer.

The young cultivator shook his head with a smile. He raised his finger and said, “The population of Heavenly Spirit City is only eight million. However, 99% of them are commoners, who are Supreme Emperor realm cultivators. Just from our Heavenly Spirit City alone, there are probably 20,000 to 30,000 people who will sign up!”

“There will be at least 100,000 cultivators from the three surrounding cities, and this is not even including the disciples of the sects and families!”

“Oh, are the disciples of these sects and families very strong? Are there a lot of them?” Ye Chen asked.

This information was something he urgently needed to know. After witnessing the great battle today, he could tell that the strength of the cultivators of the Lingwu Continent and the Kunlun Mountains were worlds apart!

Furthermore, each region in the Lingwu Continent was ten times larger than the Kunlun Mountains, so there were far more cultivators here than there were in the Kunlun Mountains, many times over. Similarly, there were far more resources here, and ones that were higher-level too.

“Yo, little brother!”

“You came from a village near the city, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t be so clueless.”

“It depends on what kind of sect or family those disciples are from,” the young man explained with a smile, “Although there are more than a hundred sects in the domain, most of them are low-tier sects. Only the Jindao Sect, the Zhenkong Temple, the Flying Crane Palace, and the Purple Forest Sect are mid-tier sects!”

“That being said, although there are more than ninety low-tier sects, each of them have Primordial Chaos experts within their ranks.”

“Typically, in sects like those, the Supreme Emperor realm cultivators will be servant-disciples, while the early and middle-stage Semi Divine realm cultivators will be outer sect disciples, and the late and peak-level Semi Divine realm cultivators will be inner sect disciples. In total, any low-tier sect has about five to six hundred outer sect disciples. The slightly stronger sects have more than a thousand outer sect disciples, and this does not include the inner sect disciples!”

Ye Chen’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this number. He finally understood how insignificant he was in comparison. It was no wonder the people of Spirit City did not dare to come to Lingwu Continent alone. They all wanted to move their entire family or sect here, without which, they would become helpless against the tide of powerful experts in the Lingwu Continent.

The total number of inner sect disciples from the eight sects and five families in the entirety of Spirit City was only equivalent to the number of inner sect disciples from a single low-tier sect.

It was no wonder that there were so many cultivators fighting in that battle earlier, even though it was just two sects involved.

Ye Chen had thought that those two sects were already extremely powerful based on their numbers, but it seemed that those two sects only qualified as low or middle-tier sects at best in this domain.

“Little brother, you’re quite clueless, but there’s a thick baleful aura around your body. It feels like you just escaped death.”

The young cultivator smiled. “Can we be friends? My name is Wang Yan. I’m sure that you’ll also be participating in the Hundred Sect Universe Competition, and it’s not a bad idea to look out for each other!”
