Monarch of Time

''The northern region.''

The same thought appeared in everyone's minds the moment they saw the 5 huge continents that slowly appeared in the distance ahead of them.

Shun Long already knew that the northern region was the only region that was said to have 5 continents among the 4 regions. The eastern region had 3 of them, the Night star continent, the Martial star continent, and the Sun star continent, the southern region had 4, while the western region was the only one that had just 2 continents.

As the 'Arctic blue bird' rapidly approached closer to the 5 continents, Xie Xingyi asked in a curious voice

''Which one is the 'Blue star continent'?''

''The one at the center.''

Jiang Chen was actually the first one to respond, his confident voice instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Seeing that everyone had turned their gazes towards him, Jiang Chen calmly nodded his head before he pointed at the 5 continents that were shaping an X mark if one looked at them from the sky, as he then continued

''Although my father came from the central region, I grew up with him in the 'Polar star continent' in the northern region. Although I don't know many things about the northern region itself, I do know some things about the strongest powers in every continent.''

Shun Long smiled when he heard this and nodded his head as he accepted his good luck, since knowing even a few things about the northern region was better than knowing nothing at all.

Patting the 'Arctic blue bird's' back, he then ordered it to fly straight towards the continent in the middle that looked like it was surrounded by the other 4.

Even with its speed as a middle rank 6 magic beast, it still took a full day for the 'Arctic blue bird' to cross the distance and arrive at the 'Blue star continent'.

A relatively big coastal city was the first thing that greeted Shun Long's and the rest's eyes as soon as they arrived in the continent.

After taking a look around this city from the 'Arctic blue bird's' back and noticing that this was indeed the biggest city in the surrounding 500 miles, Shun Long had the 'Arctic blue bird' descend right in front of the city gates.

The city guards and the people queueing up to enter the city were all terrified when they sensed the overpowering aura of a middle rank 6 magic beast looming above their heads, as they turned their attention towards the 5 newcomers on top of the bird's back and looked at them with eyes filled with dread.

It didn't matter if it was the hundreds of people queueing up to enter the city, the dozens of city guards in front of the city gates or those standing on the city walls, silence had immediately descended the moment that everyone felt the 'Arctic blue bird's' aura.

A guard dressed in silver armor that was slightly different from the rest of the guards could be seen running from the city walls, until he arrived in front of the enormous blue bird a few moments later.

Staring at the 5 young men and women on the bird's back who looked like they were preparing to enter the city, the guard started to sweat profusely before he took a deep breath and bowed as he asked in a respectful tone

''Young lords and ladies, welcome to the South blue city. I am the captain of the city guards, Meng Niu. Can I help you?''

It was only natural for the captain of the city guards to feel fear upon seeing 5 people riding on a middle rank 6 magic beast and approach the city.

Although he didn't know what Shun Long's group wanted to do in his city, Meng Niu knew that even the city lord of the city was only a middle stage Dao King himself. If he had to fight a middle rank 6 magic beast, everyone could guess what the outcome would be, as it was common knowledge that magic beasts were stronger than humans at the same level of cultivation.

Hence, although he was afraid, Meng Niu still gritted his teeth and approached the enormous blue bird before he asked Shun Long if he could somehow help them.

''Where did those people come from? They are so young and yet all of them have reached the middle-stages of the Nascent Soul! They obviously aren't members from the Tang dynasty. Did they come from one of the other 4 continents instead?''

Although this thought appeared in everyone's minds, neither the cultivators in front of the city gates nor the city guards dared to look at the newcomers group for too long, lest they end up accidentally offending them.

This was extremely hard for the young men among their group who had already had their eyes captured by Liu Mei's and Xingyi's peerlessly beautiful faces.

At the same time, Shun Long had his attention fully placed on the captain of the city guards in front of him.

He understood that Meng Niu was asking him if he could 'help them', simply because he wanted to avoid having them enter the city if he could.

Naturally, Shun Long understood that it was only natural for the captain of the city guards to look out for the city's safety, and neither he nor Liu Mei and the rest seemed to mind, since the South blue city wasn't the city they had to visit in the 'Blue star continent' in the first place.

The only reason why Shun Long had chosen to stop in this city was because this was the first big city that he had found and he wanted to purchase a map of the rest of the continent.

Nodding his head, Shun Long looked at Meng Niu who seemed to still be waiting for his answer and cupped his hands before he said

''We were planning to enter the city and purchase a map of the 'Blue star continent' since this is our first time here. I wonder if captain Meng can help us.''

Meng Niu heaved out a sigh of relief inwardly the moment he heard this, as he hurriedly nodded with a smile on his face and said

''Of course! It seems that this is your first time in the 'Blue star continent'. Naturally, there is no need for you to enter the city for such a small matter. Please accept this map as a personal gift from me.''

Meng Niu then took out a scroll from his spatial ring and tossed it in the air, allowing it to land right in front of Shun Long who caught it with his right hand.

After taking a look at the scroll in his hands, Shun Long took out a small pouch from his spatial ring and tossed it towards Meng Niu before he cupped his hands and thanked him.

Without waiting for a response, he then patted the 'Arctic blue bird's' back for the second time, causing it to instantly flap its beautiful light blue wings as it quickly soared in the sky.

Staring at the disappearing figure of the 40 meters tall blue bird, Meng Niu turned his gaze towards the small pouch in his hand and opened it almost out of reflex.

The moment that his eyes saw the 300 middle-grade spirit stones inside the pouch however, his heart started to beat in excitement.

Although 300 middle-grade spirit stones was nothing to Shun Long, it wasn't a small sum even for a head of guards like Meng Niu, let alone the rest of the guards.

Even as a late-stage Nascent Soul cutlivator, every month Meng Niu only obtained 10.000 low-grade spirit stones, which translated to 100 middle-grade spirit stones.

As for the map that he had given to Shun Long, its price wasn't more than 2000 low-grade spirit stones. Even the most expensive maps only costed around 6000 low-grade spirit stones at most, which translated to 60 middle-grade spirit stones.

At the same time that the rest of the guards looked at their captain enviously, Shun Long was still guiding the 'Arctic blue bird' towards the heart of the Blue star continent, to the place where the Tang city was located.
