C399 South Ridge Land

After leaving the tiny Divine Wind Nation and leaving a very small sect, Fang Chen had relied on his own hard work to slowly make it to this point step by step.

He no longer needed to look up at the great countries that he once had to look up to.

The Martial Marquis List he had once looked up to, was now first in Martial Marquis List at any time as long as he wished for it. Although the journey had been arduous, Fang Chen's strength had risen very quickly.

Having been in the Golden Crown for almost three years, Fang Chen, who was seventeen years old, had also become a youth who was twenty years old.

The Imperial Family gave them half a month to prepare, and in half a month, they would head to South Ridge Land.

After the The War for the Martial Marquis List was over, most of the warriors in the imperial city had left. The bustling imperial city had suddenly become much quieter.

Fang Chen followed Tian Jian Zi and returned to the Sword Continent.

"Fang Chen, take a good rest during this half a month." Tian Jian Zi said as he looked at Fang Chen, his face filled with gratitude.

Fang Chen nodded and did not say anything else.

Although it was still far from its peak, with the Heavenly Sword Son of the [Condensing Reality Realm] leading them, they would soon be able to become one of the Nine 2-Star Sects s.

In the following half a month, Fang Chen did not persist too much in his cultivation, and the current him, had reached a bottleneck in his cultivation, and was temporarily unable to break through.

One day, Tian Jian Zi came to Fang Chen's courtyard.

"Master." Fang Chen cupped his hands and said.

"Fang Chen, in a few more days, you will be heading for South Ridge Land." Tian Jian Zi slowly said, "South Ridge Land, there are countless experts, which is not something a small Golden Crown can compare to. In South Ridge Land, it's best if you join a sect. This way, your cultivation will be very fast."

"I know." Fang Chen nodded.

Having been in the Ancient Sword Continent for such a long time, Fang Chen could be considered to know the Ancient Sword Continent better.

In the huge Ancient Sword Continent, there were a total of three great continents, namely, Tianzhou, Five Elements Prefecture, and Mochu. These three great continents occupied the entire Ancient Sword Continent.

And the place where Fang Chen was at, was just a tiny place within the Five Elements Prefecture.

The territory of the three great provinces was extremely vast, and the most vast region was the Five Elements Prefecture. Because the Five Elements Prefecture was vast, the Five Elements Prefecture was divided into the north, south, east and west mountains.

The Golden Crown that Fang Chen resided in, was just a great nation of the Nanling. In the entire South Ridge Land, there were many great nations like the Golden Crown, as well as countless small nations.

"South Ridge Land, the sect's influence is complex, you must be careful when you enter the South Ridge Land." Tian Jian Zi said in a low voice.

"Thank you for your concern, Sect Leader." Fang Chen said.

"After you enter the South Ridge Land, if you have the chance, you can go to the Fame Sword Sect and find a sword cultivator called Sword Greed." Tian Jian Zi suddenly said.

"Named Sword Sect, Sword Avarice?" Fang Chen was a little doubtful and asked.

"Sword greed, strictly speaking, is your senior brother, he is my Baimei Sword Sect's disciple, six years ago, he left Baimei Sword Sect, and went to South Ridge Land. In these six years, his news has only been transmitted back to the Baimei Sword Sect once, that is, the time he joined the famous sword sect, and there was no news of him after that." Tian Jian Zi said.

"The Fame Sword Sect, in the South Ridge Land, can be considered a rather powerful sect. To be able to join the Fame Sword Sect, with the talent for Sword Greed, he would definitely become a core disciple very quickly. If my guess is correct, he must be a core disciple of the Fame Sword Sect now. Tian Jian Zi continued.

Fang Chen nodded his head, secretly taking note of the person named Sword Qi, if there was a chance, he would go and find him.

Tian Jian Zi chatted with Fang Chen for a while before he finally left.

As a Heavenly Sword Son, every single one of them would go out and train, and only through the tempering of life and death would they be able to grow.

The current Fang Chen, if he remained in Golden Crown, would not face any challenges, and his strength would stagnate. Therefore, he had to proceed towards there.

Half a month's time had passed in the blink of an eye, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for him to head to South Ridge Land.

On this day, Fang Chen used the teleportation formation to head to the imperial city, and entered the imperial city.

At this time, in the Imperial City, the Duke of Soaring Dragon and the Black Armored Marquis had arrived, and the king of the Imperial Family was present as well.

"Fang Chen, you're here."

Seeing Fang Chen, Black Armored Marquis and Duke of Soaring Dragon all revealed a smile on their faces and greeted him.

"This is the order badge from the three of you. Carry this order badge and after entering South Ridge Land, you can go to Aquatic City and join it." The king of the Royal Clan, passed the three medallions as he laughed.

Finally, after the king of the imperial family told the three of the things he needed to pay attention to when entering the South Ridge Land, he activated the teleportation circle.

"You are the geniuses of my Golden Crown. No matter what, my Golden Crown is your backing." The king of the royal family said in a deep voice.

The three bid farewell to the king, and entered the teleportation array.

This teleportation circle was the most advanced teleportation circle in the Golden Crown. It was also the only link between the Golden Crown and the teleportation circle.

Because teleportation formations were very important, they were always controlled by the Golden Crown's imperial family and would not open during normal times.

But this time, for the sake of Fang Chen and the other two, they had made an exception and activated their teleportation circle.

"I hope the three of you can make a name for yourselves in South Ridge Land."

Seeing that the transfer array had activated, the king of the royal family stared at the transfer array with his deep eyes as he said this.

Crash …

With a flash of white light, the world spun before their eyes.

As if they had entered the endless darkness, the bodies of Fang Chen and the other two people started to float uncontrollably.

Fang Chen and the other two opened their eyes as the teleportation circle stopped.

"You guys, hurry up and come out." Suddenly, someone shouted.

Fang Chen and the other two looked up and saw that in front of the teleportation circle, there was a guard standing. This guard's face was extremely solemn.

Fang Chen and the other two nodded and walked out of the teleportation circle.

"This is the South Ridge Land?"

Fang Chen looked around, and could not help but exclaim. In the air above, the spirit energy was much denser than the Golden Crown, and that guard just now, had already reached the ninth level of Qi Hai realm.

"Even the martial artists guarding the transmission array are so strong?" Fang Chen thought.

The South Ridge Land had gathered the geniuses of countless of countries in the entire Nanling. Those warriors who could enter the South Ridge Land were all monstrous geniuses.

When the guard saw Fang Chen and the other two, he knew that this was their first time in South Ridge Land.

"The three of you, is this your first time in the South Ridge Land?" The guard looked at the three of them and asked.

Fang Chen and the other two nodded, and the guard said: "This place is the Spirit Core City of the South Ridge Land's border region, it is extremely safe in the Spirit Core City, but once you leave the Spirit Core City, it will be very dangerous. You guys better take care of yourselves."

As the guard of the teleportation circle, he could see almost everyday that it was the first time a warrior came to South Ridge Land. However, they were not aware of the dangers of the South Ridge Land and would often leave the Spirit Core City hastily.

In the South Ridge Land, other than the city, the other areas were extremely dangerous. There were even powerful warriors who robbed in the dark.

After Fang Chen and the other two heard the guard's words, they nodded slightly and left the teleportation circle.

"Duke of Soaring Dragon, what should we do next?" Black Armored Marquis looked at Duke of Soaring Dragon and asked.

Although the Sword Martial Marquis was very strong, he wasn't as old as the Duke of Soaring Dragon, so the Black Armored Marquis was still the leader.

"We've just arrived at the South Ridge Land and are not familiar with the situation here. We'll stay at the Spirit Core City for the time being and head there after we have a thorough understanding of the situation there." Duke of Soaring Dragon muttered to himself for a moment, and then said.

Hearing that, the Black Armored Marquis and the Marquis of Sword Martial Arts Fang Chen nodded slightly.

Afterwards, Fang Chen and the other two walked together to a bustling inn in the Spirit Core City.

"Dear guests, what would you like to order?" After Fang Chen and the other two sat down, a waiter walked over with a smile, and asked with a laugh.

"Bring me all the best dishes in your restaurant." The Duke of Soaring Dragon said.

The waiter looked at Fang Chen and the other two, and then said: "Are you three new here?"

"Why do you ask?"

After Fang Chen heard this, he was a little doubtful and asked.

"Our Guest Lai Fu Inn is the most famous inn in Spirit Core City, our inn's consumption is very high, if we follow the three guests' instructions, all of the best dishes in our shop will need at least one hundred thousand High-grade Spirit Stone s." The waiter reminded him in a low voice.

As the waiter of the Guilds Inn, he had been receiving warriors every day. There were many other places that first time warriors came to the South Ridge Land, but they did not understand this and just randomly ordered around, and in the end, did not have the money to settle the bill.

Thus, the waiter warned him beforehand.

Hearing the waiter's words, Fang Chen and the other two sighed inwardly. As expected of the South Ridge Land, a single meal of spirit stones was enough for an ordinary person to use for a year.

"Don't worry, we have plenty of spirit stones. Give us each one and we'll bring a jar of good wine from your shop." Fang Chen said.

"Alright, please wait a moment, esteemed guests." When the waiter heard this, he left with a smile.

"As expected of the South Ridge Land, he needs a hundred thousand spirit stones for a single meal." Black Armored Marquis could not help but exclaim.

"Yeah, although a hundred thousand High-grade Spirit Stone is nothing to us, to some ordinary warriors, it's simply not enough." The Duke of Soaring Dragon sighed.

"Spirit Core City is just a side city of the South Ridge Land. What if it is the core city of the South Ridge Land?" Fang Chen slightly said.

Not long later, all the food and drinks had been served, and it was Fang Chen and the other two's first time in South Ridge Land, so they were all happy, as the three happily drank their wine.

However, just as the three of them were happily eating and drinking, a roar suddenly sounded out in the inn.

Hearing that voice, instantly, countless cultivators in the tavern stood up and quickly left the tavern.

Soon after, a burly man walked into the inn. Beside him were several of his subordinates. There was a knife scar on the face of the burly man and his entire body was emitting a frightening and fiendish aura.

"This inn, laozi is going to take care of it, hurry up and scram." The beefy man looked around, discovering that Fang Chen and the other two had been sitting down, he shouted angrily.

Just as the muscular man was roaring at Fang Chen and the other two, a warrior suddenly and soundlessly appeared beside the muscular man.

"Hmph, you still haven't asked around yet, but you actually dared to behave atrociously at my Lucky Inn?"

The Middle-aged Fighter snorted coldly. With a clench of his fist, he grabbed hold of the burly man's collar. With a flick of his wrist, he threw him out of the inn.

"This is just a lesson this time. The next time you come here to cause trouble, leave your life here." After Middle-aged Fighter finished, he turned around and left.

The inn instantly quieted down.

Seeing that, Fang Chen and the other two looked at each other. The middle-aged man who had just taken action was an expert in Condensing Reality Realm.

"[Condensing Reality Realm], you can see it everywhere." Fang Chen sighed.
