He looked at the receptionist at the adventurer’s guild.

She was a plump woman, and was definitely a city toppling beauty. Every one in this room was probably heads over heels over her.

Her fair face, her red lips, and provocative dress was enough to get Liu Feng’s blood pumping. He could barely stop himself from rushing towards her to start the competition.

But Liu Feng stopped himself. He felt it strange that he had this sudden drive that he hadn’t even felt when he was with Cai Lien, Bai Zhiqui, or any of the other beauties that he had met before.

They were all certainly more beautiful than this woman was. It felt like some sort of trick that she was performing.

The receptionist raised her eyebrow and looked at Liu Feng.

“Looks like we have a newcomer here. Why not let me show him the ropes, boys? I will talk to all of you later.” she winked at the half dozen men who were drooling at her.

They shook awake and looked at Liu Feng with jealousy. But there was no hatred in their faces. There was just carefreeness. It was not like the outside world, where they would pick a fight with him.

Instead, they just went ahead and sat down, drinking more booze.

Liu Feng sighed with relief, knowing that he had evaded calamity. He did not want to get into a fight with any of these monsters who were so much stronger than he was.

He approached the woman, and used mind eye on her.

“Looks like you are an interesting addition to the city. The last time that there was any visitor here, well, we read about it in the history books. So then, what brings someone from the outside to the City of Heaven?” the woman, Hu Jing, smiled as she asked Liu Feng.

“Yes, sister. I think that I have a problem. Can you help me out here? What exactly is the forest outside that surrounds the city?” Liu Feng asked, not beating around the bush.

Hu Jing looked at him with interest and nodded.

“The forest? That is the Black Iron forest. But I would think that you know that.” she said.

“I am not very well versed with the names of places. Can you help me out once again. The way to enter the forest was to come through the staircase of heavens. I think that it is related to the city of heaven? But the place is enclosed. What lies beyond the forest, if I may ask?” Liu Feng asked.

“You came through the Staircase of heavens? You passed the test?” Hu Jing shouted with shock.

Immediately, the whole guild became silent, and everyone was glaring at Liu Feng.

He could feel this pressure on him, and it was nothing like the Yuan Principle. This was just the plain pressure that one would feel when a stronger cultivator was bearing down on him. And in this case, there were dozens upon dozens who were at least in the Xiantian realm.

“I…. think I said something wrong?” Liu Feng asked, hesitating.

“You said something wrong indeed. Until now, I was thinking that you were from the Han Dynasty. But it looks like you are from somewhere else entirely. I thought that no one would ever come from the staircase of heavens. It looks like there is a massive event coming that will rock this city apart.” Hu Jing shook her head.

“Well, if it helps you, I am not the only one who came through that staircase. There are many more, and almost every single one of them is stronger than me.” Liu Feng said, trying to divert the topic now.

“Anyone is stronger than you. That is not the question here. But if you have the Yuan principle, then that means that we have someone that can unlock the Yuan Mountain once more. The city of heaven can try to conquer the Yuan Mountain once again!” Hu Jing said with pride and joy.

“The Yuan Mountain? Wait, the staircase is right next to you guys. Why can’t you just go through it yourself and understand the principle? Why do you need someone to come from the outside?” Liu Feng pointed out.

“The Yuan Mountain IS the way out of the city. Anyone can come in, but only a person with the Yuan principle can go out. You may not be stuck here, but we all are. We are waiting for someone to open the mountain to enter it. And we finally found that someone.” Hu Jing smiled sweetly.

“I am not here to deny you my support. In fact, it would be my honor to help all of you come out of this place. But can you help me out here? Do you have any map of the outside? Specifically, one that corresponds to the Tiandu Kingdom?” Liu Feng asked.

“The Tiandu kingdom? Kid. All the maps that we have are thousands of years old. I don’t think that your tiny kingdom existed at that point.” one man stood up and said.

Liu Feng nodded slightly, and his brain lit up once more.

“Do you know of any Black Swamp Forest then? Surely something like this must be recorded.” Liu Feng asked.

“The black swamp forest? Yes, we know of that. The mysterious forest that moves in a cycle of three years? But isn’t that in the Han Dynasty? What is this Tiandu kingdom that you speak of?” the man nodded.

“The Han Dynasty must have split up into multiple kingdoms! I am near the Tiandu Kingdom! Thank god! Once I am able to leave here, I can find my way back!” Liu Feng was overjoyed.

“Sister Jing’er. Do you think that it is wise to take someone as weak as him to the Yuan Mountain? We don’t know what is in there, and he could be killed before he can even react!” the man who was speaking till now said.
