But once the country borders were crossed, it was tantamount to a provocation against a nation, and one would be endlessly pursued by the strong powers of the other nation.

"Looks like both sides are ready," thought Chu Fengmian with a sigh as he observed the troops stationed near the border.

The outbreak of warfare among the six countries involved not just the combat among powerhouses, but even warriors of Body Forging Realm and even Bone Tempering Realm would join in.

After all, true powerhouses were few in number, and the real confrontations were fought by these ordinary warriors.

"The barrier at the border of the Qin Emperor’s domain is several times stronger than that of the Victorious Martial nation," Chu Fengmian observed as he stood at the edge of the border.

A border was the most straightforward representation of a nation’s power. The disparity in strength between the Victorious Martial nation and the Qin Emperor’s domain was apparent with one glance at the border.

Usually, if one wished to pass through a border and enter another nation, one had to seek out the wardens of the other domain and part with countless benefits to do so.

However, with the six nations’ battles about to start, the nations were already closed off, and it was impossible for Chu Fengmian to find someone to get him in at this time.

Moreover, instead of being excessively exploited by others, Chu Fengmian had a better way to enter the Qin Emperor’s domain.

The border could not stop Chu Fengmian.

Basically, the border was like a massive and mighty prohibition, but it was also extremely crude. After all, such a vast border could not possibly be maneuvered with subtlety.

With a movement, Chu Fengmian charged towards the border. A burst of Sword Intent exploded from his body, transforming into a Devouring Heavenly Python that burrowed through the border.

This Devouring Heavenly Python, famed for being able to devour heaven and earth, condensed from Chu Fengmian’s Sword Intent, created an opening in the border in an instant.

The devouring was accomplished silently, so not even the people from the Qin Emperor’s domain noticed.

Chu Fengmian’s figure flashed, and he darted through the opening in the border. Using a concealment technique to mask his presence, he began infiltrating the Qin Emperor’s domain.

He had arrived in the Qin Emperor’s domain.

Traversing within the Qin Emperor’s domain, Chu Fengmian soon spotted countless cities, each far grander than anything found in the Victorious Martial nation.

The countless Martial Artists in the Qin Emperor’s domain were brimming with fighting spirit, each harboring the heart to pursue Martial Arts, as everyone aspired to become powerful.

The Qin Emperor’s domain was rightfully ranked among the top of the six nations, not without reason; its Martial Arts culture was far superior to that of the Victorious Martial nation.

"This must be the ancient Jiuding City in the Qin Emperor’s domain," Chu Fengmian thought as he weaved through the streets and stopped in front of a vast city.

The city before Chu Fengmian was tens of times larger than Jijing City in the Victorious Martial nation. It was the renowned Jiuding City in the Qin Emperor’s domain, a city that stood tall in the Nine Domains for thousands of years, with nearly ten million inhabitants and countless powers intertwined within its complicated network.

It was one of the most famous cities in the Qin Emperor’s domain.

Chu Fengmian had come to the Qin Emperor’s domain to gather intelligence, and Jiuding City was an excellent place to start. Dominated by commerce, one could find out any piece of information as long as they had enough medicinal pills.

He assumed the guise of a middle-aged man, landed on the ground, and made his way casually into the city.

A young Martial Artist under twenty years of age, who commanded the Wind Realm and the strength comparable to a Saint, would be extremely conspicuous in the Qin Emperor’s domain, not to mention that Chu Fengmian’s deeds were already known in the other five domains.

A Martial Artist below the age of twenty with the strength to rival a Saint was a significant event in the entire Nine Domains.

Though it was likely that no one in the Qin Emperor’s domain had seen Chu Fengmian, to be cautious,

Chu Fengmian had now disguised himself as a middle-aged man, making it impossible for others to discern his true identity.

Jiuding City bustled with business, and there were many outsiders. Without any interrogation, Chu Fengmian stepped directly into the city.

Upon entering, Chu Fengmian immediately saw rows of shops lining the streets, much like a vast market.

Jiuding City was the trading hub of the entire six nations. Although the six nations’ battles were drawing near, business was not in decline but thriving even more.

Companies like the large trading houses had divisions in countless nations and were unaffected by the six nations’ battles since these traders dealt purely in business.

The proximity of the battles spurred countless warriors to buy medicinal pills and Spiritual Artifacts frantically, aiming to enhance their own strength.

After all, joining in the battles of the six nations meant any increment of power could be the difference between life and death.

So at that time, many people were no longer frugal with their wealth, converting all riches into their own strength.

With a glance, Chu Fengmian saw that in front of numerous shops, there were Martial Artists crowded together, each vying for items, yet no one dared to make the first move.

Among Martial Artists, conflicts and killings over disagreements were common affairs. However, in Jiuding City, regardless of how loud the quarrels, no one dared to fight.

This was because Jiuding City had implemented strict rules: anyone who initiated a fight was punished by death.

But this rule was only for the ordinary Martial Artists. Chu Fengmian was aware that if a Saint caused an uproar or fought, they likely wouldn’t die but would certainly face severe punishment.

"Elder, are you looking to buy or sell Spiritual Artifacts and medicinal pills? Our Twilight Pavilion has everything from Spiritual Artifacts to materials. If you need anything, feel free to come in and take a look," a few Martial Artists called out to Chu Fengmian as he walked down the street, trying to entice a customer.

These Martial Artists, each with the strength of the Body Forging Realm, would be considered powerful in remote areas of the Victorious Martial nation.

Yet in Jiuding City, they were like inn servants, ushering in customers.

"Let’s have a look," Chu Fengmian said after hearing the invitation and headed towards the Twilight Pavilion.

Chu Fengmian had heard of the Twilight Pavilion; although it was only considered a third-rate trading house in the Nine Domains, it was much more powerful than those in remote countries like the Victorious Martial nation.

It had branches in all the major nations.

Even the royal family of the Qin Emperor’s domain would not dare to offend the Twilight Pavilion too much.

The Twilight Pavilion was not only a place where one could buy or sell medicinal pills, Spiritual Artifacts, and materials, but they also held auctions for rare items and even dealt in information. With sufficient wealth, anything could be obtained from the Twilight Pavilion.

Even hiring an assassin was possible.
