One after another, space vessels streaked across the dark expanse like meteors, then surged in like fish entering a vast ocean, flooding into the immense silver glow ring. The black space vessel where Xiao Yan and his companions were located followed the crowd, bearing the intense spatial turbulence, and swiftly entered the ring, vanishing into it. Staring at this vast plaza that stretched out endlessly, Xiao Yan couldn't help but take a shallow breath. Right behind him, the space was continuously rippling and distorting, with one after another space vessels emerging and swiftly shrinking in size. Yet the figures within them seemed to fall like beans, steadily descending from the sky. Clearly, this was a landing point for a spatial wormhole. "This is merely one of the spatial points outside the City of Shendan—there are eight such spatial plazas in the outer realm," said Ye Zhong, glancing around. His expression was somewhat complex. Since the Ye family's decline, they had rarely returned here. Even during each of the Five Clan assessments, they had come in humility, only to leave just as humbled. Hearing this, Xiao Yan's lips immediately trembled. Just this single plaza alone probably accounted for nearly one-tenth the size of Ye City—yet this Saint Dan City had eight such plazas? "Hehe, don't be surprised. The Sacred Dan City is divided into Outer and Inner Regions. Right now, we're in the Outer Region, while the Dan Tower lies in the Inner Region. Of course, regardless of which region, it's all part of the Dan Tower's territory." Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Ye Zhong chuckled, "Though the Sacred Dan City is called a city, it's far beyond an ordinary one. If you compare it in terms of size, even dozens of Ye Cities wouldn't come close." Xiao Yan wiped a cold sweat from his forehead. This wasn't just a city—it was an entire vast region. Based on his estimation, the Sacred Dan City probably wasn't much smaller than Black Corner Domain. With such an expanse, even some Douzong-level强者 would need nearly half a day to travel from north to south. "Right now, the foot traffic isn't at its peak. But by the time the Dan Assembly begins, in about a month's time, it'll be absolutely overwhelming. Hehe, don't underestimate the appeal of the Dan Assembly." Ye Zhong smiled. "You won't want to think that the city is any less crowded when the time comes." Xiao Yan shook his head with a weary "Where shall we go now?" After composing himself, Xiao Yan and the others turned their gaze toward Ye Zhong. The Saint Dan City was entirely unfamiliar to them—all they knew was that Ye Zhong, the seasoned guide, would be their point of reference. "In a few days, the evaluations by the five great families will begin. We've traveled all day today, so let's find a place to rest first. Tomorrow, I'll take you to a testing site at the Dan Tower where you'll need to earn your official Dan Tower certification as a Pharmacist." Ye Zhong paused thoughtfully. "An official Pharmacist certification?" Xiao Yan was momentarily surprised. "Do we really need this?" Xiao Yan had obtained such a certification only once—during his journey in the Gamma Empire, when he earned a Third-Rank Pharmacist badge. Since then, he had never pursued another. "Hehe, Dantai's certification isn't comparable to that of other places—it's famously rigorous. Precisely because of this strictness, its rank insignia is universally recognized across the entire continent, carrying unquestionable authority wherever it goes. To participate in the Dantai Assembly, one must possess the rank insignia; otherwise, they won't be allowed to join," said Ye Zhong with a smile. Xiao Yan nodded slightly, showing little resistance—though after so many years, he had indeed grown curious about such a level assessment. Seeing that Xiao Yan was unconcerned, Ye Zhong smiled, identified the direction, and was about to lead the group to find a resting place when, suddenly, a powerful spatial ripple surged from far behind them in the sky. Instantly, several snow-white chariots, each drawn by magnificent silver-hued flying horses, materialized in the heavens above. He raised an eyebrow at the gasp from below, eyes widening in surprise as he gazed at the snowy caravet. He had heard of this beast—though only at the sixth stage, it was exceptionally rare. It possessed the ability to fly through void spaces, and not only was its journey more comfortable than that of a space vessel, but it was also significantly faster. Many people longed to own one, yet due to its rarity, it often remained in demand without a market—always priced but never sold. Yet today, this mysterious snowy caravet was being transported by several void-horse beasts, a gesture truly impressive. This is the Dan family's distinctive emblem. If my assessment is correct, the individuals traveling aboard this chariot-lion are likely the Dan family members participating in the evaluation or the Dan Assembly... Leaf nodded emphatically. Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's gaze followed the direction, and indeed, he spotted a golden, original clan emblem on the chariot-lion—appearing exactly like a pill. "Dan family..." Xiao Yan murmured to himself, slowly nodding. Among the Five Great Clans of the Dan Realm, the Dan Clan has remained the most reserved in recent years. Yet their strength is unquestionable. The Cao family commands the most prominence, the Bai family is also a prominent household in the realm, carrying considerable weight in discourse, while the Qiu family is slightly less distinguished—still, they far outshine the Ye family. Overall, among the Five Great Clans, the Ye family currently stands as the most disadvantaged. Even the relatively weaker Qiu family maintains a solid position within the Dan Tower. "Since all the Dan family members have arrived, the other three families should be arriving soon as well..." Ye Zhong mused. "I wonder who among the Dan family will be participating this year in the assessment." "Does the Dan family have anyone comparable to Cao Ying from the Cao family?" Xiao Yan stroked his chin. "This... I'm not entirely sure. The Dan family has always been modest in their approach, yet they possess exceptional talent in alchemy. In their prime, they even held three seats on the Dan Tower's council..." Hearing this, Ye Zhong felt a bit embarrassed and added.
