Heaven-Mending City was far more formidable compared to the myriad ancient metropolises within the Deficient Primordial Realm.
Its very name spoke volumes.
In the Origin Land, only Eternal Heavenly Venerates were the true "Heaven."
Heaven-Mending City—the city that mended the heavens—was clearly extraordinary and absolutely not simple!
Although Quasi-Giants were also referred to as the Heaven-Mending Realm, it was merely a designation for that cultivation stage and had no relation to Heaven-Mending City.
Heaven-Mending City was situated at the edge of the Thirty-Three Tian Domains, bordering the Ten Tribulations Tian Domain.
Upon entering Heaven-Mending City, Ye Chen could sense that this ancient city was anything but ordinary. While it might not necessarily be larger than many ancient metropolises in the Deficient Primordial Realm—in some respects, it might even be smaller—he could feel that this city was a place where tigers crouched and dragons hid, far from simple.
For, he could sense no fewer than ten Sky-Piercing level Giants alone, among whom were not a few Primordial Giants of the Supreme Void level.
Truly worthy of the Origin Land. And this was merely an ancient metropolis at the edge of the Thirty-Three Tian Domains. One could only imagine how many crouching tigers and hidden dragons resided within the Thirty-Three Tian Domains themselves.
Ye Chen entered a wine house at the city center named the Facing Heaven Wine House.
Though called a wine house, it was no exaggeration to call it a heavenly palace. It was magnificently grand and vast, with imperial palaces stretching continuously, floating in the firmament and overlooking Heaven-Mending City.
This wine house was established by a Heaven-Mending level Supreme Power (Quasi-Giant). In the Origin Land, a Heaven-Mending Supreme Power could indeed be considered a top-tier power, though in a place like Heaven-Mending City, where tigers crouched and dragons hid, they might not be the absolute pinnacle, they were still among the elite. Thus, they had the qualification to establish an imperial palace-level wine house at the city center.
The gates of the imperial palace-level wine house were wide open with no one barring entry. Ye Chen naturally walked inside.
Within the grand hall, majestic as an imperial palace, numerous top-tier experts from various regions came and went. They were all Divine Kings and Quasi-Sovereigns at the very least, with cultivators below that level being a rare sight.
This showed that the number of powerful experts in the Origin Land truly far surpassed that of the Deficient Primordial Realm. Divine Kings and Quasi-Sovereign level experts here could only be considered relatively powerful cultivators.
From time to time, Ancient Sovereigns and Monarchs entered, and occasionally even Sky-Connecting level Supreme Ones appeared.
However, whether Monarchs or Sky-Connecting Supreme Ones, they were all considered first-rate supreme powers and naturally would not linger in the main hall. They were directly received by staff of the Facing Heaven Wine House and escorted to higher-grade palaces.
At this moment, a stunningly beautiful Divine King-level woman approached. She was surrounded by faint divine radiance, graceful and elegant, personally stepping forward to greet him. She gave a slight bow and said, "Sir, how may I assist you?"
She was one of the receptionists for the Facing Heaven Wine House.
This demonstrated the immense wealth and unfathomable depth of the Facing Heaven Wine House—Divine King level experts were merely reception staff.
However, this was limited to the Facing Heaven Wine House itself. After all, this was Heaven-Mending City, a place where tigers crouched and dragons hid, with numerous Sky-Connecting, Heaven-Mending, and Sky-Piercing level Supreme Powers, and even Supreme Void level Giants present.
Otherwise, outside the wine house, Divine Kings were still considered top-tier experts.
Although the Divine King-level woman could not sense much fluctuation from Ye Chen, how could she dare be careless? Heaven-Mending City was filled with clouds of experts, a place where tigers crouched and dragons hid, with many Sky-Connecting Supreme Ones present.
Such existences were beyond the perception of a mere Divine King like her. Although this mysterious man before her showed not a trace of divine power fluctuation, it was precisely this that made her even more wary of him.
Ye Chen said, "Bring me a pot of wine."
Wine?
The female Divine King was puzzled but did not ask further. "Please follow me, sir."
She led Ye Chen to a palace, for she could tell his status was extraordinary—he was likely a Monarch, or even a Sky-Connecting Supreme One.
But Ye Chen declined, choosing to remain in the main hall, unbothered by its noisy atmosphere.
The female Divine King was somewhat surprised but did not question it. She gave another slight bow and left.
Shortly after, a pot of fine wine was presented.
Ye Chen sat at a table, sipping the wine while listening to the idle chatter of the many patrons, gleaning information about the Origin Land.
The wine was special, containing Heaven-Mending Power—a special force capable of mending the flaws of the Heavenly Dao.
However, it was only truly effective for flawed cultivators from the Deficient Primordial Realm. For cultivators of the Origin Land, it was merely a tasty Dao wine.
Wine houses existed both in the Deficient Primordial Realm and the Origin Land, and they were also places where one could learn about various happenings in the shortest time.
"Did you all hear? Not long ago, the Taiyuan Tian Domain was almost torn apart!"
"Who doesn't know about that? It's become known throughout the world. Although those people were exiled sinners from the Deficient Primordial Realm, they were incredibly strong. They nearly destroyed an Eternal Heavenly Clan standing at the very peak of the world. Unbelievable."
"Indeed, especially that War Ancestor. His strength was truly formidable. He nearly killed the renowned Tai Tian War God—a peerless existence of the Supreme Realm! In the past, other Supremes nearly met their end at the hands of the Tai Tian War God, yet he was almost slain by the War Ancestor from the Deficient Primordial Realm!"
"These sinners from the exiled land are truly bold, daring to invade the Tian Domain of an Eternal Heavenly Clan, even staining the Heavenly Venerate Mountain with blood!"
"Exactly! I heard it's because a Heavenly Venerate finally emerged in the Deficient Primordial Realm, only to be killed by the Taiyuan Heavenly Venerate. Those sinners from the Deficient Primordial Realm were enraged and fought their way into the Taiyuan Tian Domain at all costs!"
"Even though it's the Deficient Primordial Realm, an exiled land, such courage and bloodlust command our respect!"
Many cultivators expressed admiration. Even though the Deficient Primordial Realm was seen by Origin Land cultivators as an exiled land of abandoned sinners.
In the cultivation world, strength had always been supreme.
Moreover, the cultivators of the Deficient Primordial Realm possessed such bloodlust—how could they not earn respect!
Hearing news of his old acquaintances from the Deficient Primordial Realm, Ye Chen felt quite gratified.
Based on the content, he also learned that the War Ancestor was the combined entity of the Battle Saint Ancestor and the Heaven-Defying War Lord.
He hadn't expected that after an epoch had passed, they had reached such heights. Not only had they achieved the realm of Supreme Realm Overlord, but they also possessed the pinnacle strength to suppress other Supreme Realm Overlords. Truly astonishing.
Furthermore, he learned other information related to the Deficient Primordial Realm.
Although many of those old acquaintances who entered the Origin Land had perished due to various reasons, all the survivors among the powerful experts had gained tremendous benefits.
By mending the flawed Heavenly Dao, their cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, with each experiencing a significant increase in power.
This brought Ye Chen considerable comfort.
However, he wondered about the current state of those who had followed him out, such as the group led by Qingtian Dadi.
After all, a true war involving Eternal Heavenly Venerates had erupted back then, with immense repercussions.
Yet, no one in the wine house was discussing this, clearly indicating no one knew. Therefore, Ye Chen planned to leave and continue into the Thirty-Three Tian Domains to meet his wives, children, and old friends.
BOOM—
Suddenly, the heavens and earth of Heaven-Mending City trembled. A terrifying golden light blotted out the sky, carrying an absolute aura of battle that flooded the nine heavens. A great roar echoed: "Wan Tai, roll out here! Today, I, Qian Wen Tian, will suppress and kill you!"
