Strongest Offline Cultivation-Chapter 123 Royal Capital

Five Days Later,

“Finally, I can see the royal palace. I will enter the capital while you guys just stay here, alright?” Fu Chen stretched out his arms with a bright smile on his face.

“Are you sure you will be okay? There could be the Spatial Restricting Array in the capital. We don’t know anything about it.” Chu Yan asked.

Hearing his words Fu Chen clicked his tongue.

“Don’t worry! Even if they have the Spatial Restricting Array, I have created a perfect escape art in these five days. Even if they use it, I can still teleport away.”

“I hope so. You have been bragging about this art for a long time.” Chu Yan sighed as he slowly stepped back.

“By the way, say hi to sister-in-law from me.” Wu Kong smiled as he raised his hand.

“Alright! Bye!” Fu Chen released his purple eyes and the next moment, his body disappeared. They were currently at the top of a cliff so Fu Chen teleported himself to the lower land.

As soon as he reached there, he channel Sage Energy into his body.

[Transformation Art]

Puff!

Suddenly, a white cloud shrouded his body. A foot stepped out of the cloud after a few seconds and Fu Chen’s new transformation appeared.

He looked like a middle-aged man with brown skin and black hair. He was a bit tall and muscular. He wore black and purple clothes. His eyes had changed as well.

They were no longer purple. They were black as usual. His appearance wasn’t just random. It was the appearance of a dead man he met during the journey. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

He clenched his fist and lowered his head. He was stunned by the transformation even though this wasn’t the first time he had done this.

‘Sage Energy is really amazing. With it, I can truly control two extreme powers of the world. With the Yin and Yang under my control, not only I can manifest any kind of power I can imagine, but I can also create illusions.’

‘Currently, I have only worked on that and this. But after I get a bit more time, I will definitely explore Sage Energy, even more, unlocking its potential to its fullest.’

Fu Chen released a deep breath and walked forward. There was still a long road in front of him but thankfully, with his cultivation, it only took him three hours to reach the end.

When he came out of the forest, he saw massive walls covering the enormous city. This was the royal capital and also the most powerful place in the entire kingdom.

There were some small cities around but due to the monsters losing their ground in the forest, these cities were flooded by those monsters.

After all, strong preys on weak, and weak preys on weaker.

Fu Chen shook his head and walked toward the giant open gate. There were several soldiers wearing silver armor standing next to the gate.

But surprisingly, Fu Chen only saw a few people walking in and out of the capital. As he walked forward, he was stopped by the guards.

“Who are you? Where did you come from?” The guard pointed his spear at Fu Chen and asked.

“My name is Xiao Mu. I am the Elder from Sun Dragon Sect. I barely managed to escape from the claws of those devils. Here is my sect token!”

Fu Chen immediately took out a black token that had the word ‘Elder’ written on it and it was surrounded by the figure of a dragon.

“We apologize for our rudeness. Please enter!” The guards immediately bowed after seeing the token and made him the way to pass.

Fu Chen nodded his head and walked inside the gate. The road in front of him was paved with special tiles that seemed very powerful. As he walked forward, he got a bit confused.

There were very few people walking around in the street. And, even the shops had shut down. After a while, he finally found a place where he could rest and gather some information.

It was the classic place for such tasks.

Azure Dragon Restaurant

He walked toward the front gate. The gate was opened so he walked in. He saw the wooden floor, chairs, and desks. There were a lot of people unlike outside.

He walked toward the empty seat. There were three chairs and a table. So, he sat down in one of them. After a minute, a waiter walked in. He held a tray with a small clay mug and a small cup.

He put it on the table and poured the liquid from the mug into the cup.

“Sir, what would you like to have?”

“Do you have any recommendations?” Fu Chen asked.

“We have three classes for food. Bronze Class comes with separated dishes and also costs the lowest. Silver Class comes with a full meal with different combinations. And, finally Golden Class comes with the most expensive dishes in our restaurant.”

“Which class would you like to choose?” The waiter asked as he politely explained it and poured the tea.

“Since you said Golden Class is the most expensive, then why not? Do you have a menu for me to choose the dishes?” Fu Chen smiled as he asked.

The waiter was slightly startled but he quickly bowed and said.

“Sir, if you want Golden Class, you must follow me to the upper floor.”

“Alright!” Fu Chen stood up and followed the waiter. While going up, he found few eyes on him but naturally, he didn’t care.

When he reached the second floor, he felt the immense force pulling him down. But due to his strength, he didn’t even buzz a little.

“So, you check the cultivation of a person before serving Golden Class Food. Is that why you didn’t tell me anything about the cost?” Fu Chen asked as he followed the waiter.

“Yes sir! We believe that asking the customer for money without serving them food would be an insult to us. But there are some people who just want to show off and later force us to lose money. That’s why we develop this method.” The waiter answered he took Fu Chen to a room.

Unlike the ground floor, there were only a few rooms, and each one was separated from the others.

“Sir, there is a menu. I will wait outside. You can simply call me when you decide.” The waiter pointed at the menu on the table and walked out.

The table was quite big and looked more like a dining table than a normal desk. The chairs surrounding them had cushions on the top which made them look quite comfortable.

Fu Chen looked through the menu and decided to order some food. After twenty minutes, the waiter returned with a big tray filled with bowls and bottles. There was wine on the bottles and several varieties of food in the bowls.

Just when the waiter was about to leave, Fu Chen spoke.

“Can I take some moment from you? I should have this authority, right?”

The waiter stepped back and bowed.

“Yes, sir!”

“I have several questions. Do you know why there are so few people on the street?” Fu Chen asked.

“Sir, you should’ve heard about devils’ threat against your kingdom. Currently, many people have come to the royal capital because of that threat but even inside the royal capital, there is another threat.” 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

“Xue Family is on the verge of going on a war against the Royal Family and other big families. The war of such scale would be destructive so many people have temporarily left the capital.” The waiter politely answered.

“Then, do you know why they are targeting Xue Family?” Fu Chen asked.

The waiter gulped down and nodded.

“Sir, you must have heard about ‘Fu Chen’, right? Currently, every cultivator in the kingdom knows about him. A week ago, he seemed to have stolen the Death Pond from two other kingdoms.”

“And, now those kingdoms have arrived here to find him. They are demanding the Royal Family to hand him over but no one knows where he is.”

“Currently, the only person we know that might know his position is his lover ‘Xue Le’. But she isn’t revealing his position to anyone so the Royal Family is threatening the Xue family.”

“They rather destroy the Xue Family than face the threat of two big kingdoms. At least, that’s what it seems like but it seems like even Royal Family wants to get him.”

“That’s why there is a high chance that the war will erupt in a few days. They are all waiting for some kind of news related to her mother. It was said that she and Fu Chen fought a few days ago.”

“But, that fight was too far away from us so we don’t even know whether it is a rumor or not. That’s all I know.” The waiter spoke and quietly waited for him to ask another question.

“So, what about the people from the other kingdoms? Are they also here?”
