In Tian Tong City, there were several teleportation arrays that could transport people to major cities on the Central Continent.
"The teleportation array in the very center leads to Tian Yuan City. Tian Yuan City is the only place on the entire continent with large teleportation arrays to other continents."
At this moment, Xiao Fei, Huang Feifei, and Xiao Lan stood beside a teleportation array.
Xing Wuming was introducing the teleportation arrays to them.
These were all properties of the Xing family. As the young master of Tian Tong City, he was naturally more familiar with them and took on the role of guide.
Xing Wuming had been stripped of his position as the young master of Tian Tong City due to his failure this time.
He was now leaving with Xiao Fei and the others.
The four of them placed spirit stones and stood in the center of the teleportation array. Xing Wuming cast several hand seals, and then a beam of light enveloped them.
The four felt a wave of dizziness, and when they could see their surroundings clearly again, the scene had changed.
They were in a grand and magnificent hall, with dozens of teleportation arrays distributed throughout. People came and went, making it bustling.
"This is the largest immortal cultivation market on the Central Continent—Tian Yuan City."
After stepping off the teleportation array, Xing Wuming once again acted as the guide.
"As the core of the entire Central Continent, Tian Yuan City has a population of over twenty million and is jointly governed by four great families and three major sects."
"This is the North City. The teleportation array to the Southern Wilderness Continent is in the South City of Tian Yuan City. We need to cross the entire Tian Yuan City to get there."
As he spoke, the four of them walked out of the teleportation hall.
Outside the hall was a vast square, where several giant spirit birds were resting.
These spirit birds had pure white feathers and broad backs, upon which large houses were built.
"Due to the large population, private flight is prohibited in Tian Yuan City. Everyone must travel on foot or pay to ride these flying beasts."
Xing Wuming said, leading the four towards a flying beast.
A cultivator stood by the beast's feet, collecting fees from those who wished to ride.
Xiao Fei saw Xing Wuming casually hand over four high-grade spirit stones.
He felt that the cost of living in a big city was truly high.
On their home continent, the Eastern Continent, many minor cultivators would struggle their entire lives to earn that many spirit stones.
Here, it was merely the fare for a bus ride.
The four entered the house on the spirit bird's back and found an unoccupied room to enter.
There were even several maids inside, specifically attending to them.
Xing Wuming saw a maid approaching him and quickly waved his hand.
"You all can leave. I'm not interested in that."
After the maids had left, Xing Wuming breathed a sigh of relief and secretly glanced at Xiao Lan, but couldn't discern anything.
The four of them found seats by the windows and watched the scenery of Tian Yuan City.
Xing Wuming made small talk with Xiao Lan, introducing and explaining the customs and landscapes of Tian Yuan City.
Along the way, with Xing Wuming's incessant chatter, they flew over Tian Yuan City and arrived at the South City teleportation array.
The long-distance teleportation array in the South City was also bustling with people, appearing very prosperous.
"Thank you for guiding us, fellow Daoist Xing. We will take our leave now!"
Xiao Fei cupped his hands in farewell to Xing Wuming.
"Well, I don't have anything to do anyway. How about I accompany you to the Southern Wilderness Continent?"
Xing Wuming said with a thick skin.
As fellow men, Xiao Fei naturally understood Xing Wuming's subtle intentions.
He glanced at Xiao Lan. Seeing that she didn't object, he felt there was no need for him to be the bad guy.
The four of them stepped onto the teleportation array again. When they awoke from the dizziness,
they saw a landscape completely different from the Tian Yuan Continent.
The teleportation hall here was built crudely, constructed from only a few extremely large stones.
What surprised them even more was that besides the four of them, there were over a dozen other people in the hall.
And among these dozen people, not a single one looked normal.
The two female cultivators standing before them actually had furry, pointed ears and a furry tail behind them.
A cultivator standing a bit further away had a bull's head.
There were also people with eight legs like spiders, people carrying turtle shells on their backs, people resembling insects, and people with many tentacles like octopuses...
In short, they were all sorts of strange and peculiar.
These individuals were not demon races that had transformed into human form, but were born this way.
The many strange people in the hall also cast surprised glances at the four as they appeared.
"Mom! Why do those four people look so strange? Are they monsters?"
A young and ignorant spider girl couldn't help but ask her mother beside her.
This made everyone in the hall feel a bit awkward.
After all, it would be impolite to call someone bald to their face.
"A Chi, don't talk nonsense! Children should be polite. They are all humans! Unlike us."
"Ah! So they are humans! But don't the books say humans are monsters... Woo..."
The little girl had only said this much before her mother covered her mouth and dragged her out of the hall.
"Let's leave here quickly!"
The four felt uneasy under the many strange gazes and quickly walked out of the hall.
"This is my first time in the Southern Wilderness Continent. According to the records in my clan, the humans in the Southern Wilderness Continent are all mixed-blood between humans and demons."
The demon race and the human race coexisted in the same world. Besides hunting and hatred, there were occasional sparks of love between them.
Before the demon race transformed, they looked much like beasts, and the probability of such an event was relatively small.
However, after the demon race transformed and gained human bodies, the probability of this situation increased exponentially.
But the offspring born from the intermarriage of these two races often inherited the bloodlines of both parents, and their appearances began to become strange.
However, intermarriage between the two races was still a minority. Their descendants, whether living among humans or demons, were easily ostracized.
It was like a bull-headed person suddenly appearing in a crowd of normal people, appearing out of place.
It was unclear from when these mixed-bloods moved to the Southern Wilderness Continent to live.
Gradually, the Southern Wilderness Continent became the domain of these mixed-bloods.
They intermarried again, continuing to reproduce, and their bloodlines became increasingly mixed, making them very different from both humans and demons.
The four walked out of the teleportation hall and encountered many more mixed-bloods, all of whom cast strange and curious glances at them.
At this moment, the four of them had become rare specimens, enduring the scrutiny of mixed-bloods from all directions.
"We should find a place to change our appearances. Being stared at like this is really uncomfortable."
