An Lin's expression shifted slightly upon hearing Yang Zheng's words.
Judging from Yang Zheng's words, an Immortal King had appeared out of nowhere, united a thousand countries, and brought the entire world under his throne?
"That Immortal King is so powerful. I wonder how powerful he is?" An Lin asked curiously.
"We don't know how powerful he is …" Yang Zheng looked up at the sky and said softly, "However, the Immortal King has swept through the entire Divine Source Continent. None of the thousands of exalted immortals of the Return to Void Stage were able to last more than three rounds against him. He is the most powerful being on the Divine Source Continent!
"From then on, there was only one empire in this world, and that was the Divine Source Empire. The Immortal King Palace that he established is located in the center of the Divine Source Empire, and it is the only super sect in this world. Anyone who sees the Immortal King Palace has to kneel and pay their respects, including exalted immortals of the Return to Void Stage. "
An Lin's brows furrowed. "He's that arrogant?"
"Sigh … The entire world is under the rule of the Immortal King Palace, and all the resources are under its control. Anyone who refuses to submit will die. It's just that simple." Yang Zheng shook his head and heaved a long sigh.
"How did this Immortal King become so powerful? Was there someone like him in the past?" An Lin asked.
"The Immortal King was the former ruler of the Kunlun Empire, Feng Wuya!" Yang Zheng replied respectfully.
An Lin pretended to come to a sudden realization. "So it was him!"
"That's right, it was him! Feng Wuya was once a warmonger who had the ambition to conquer other empires. Ten thousand years ago, a meteorite crashed into the Kunlun Empire, and the world changed drastically. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth became more abundant, and the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth became more abundant …
"It became easier to raise one's cultivation base. A thousand years later, Feng Wuya broke through from the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage and reached a cultivation base that no one had ever reached before!"
A yearning expression appeared on Yang Zheng's face. "He named that cultivation base the Immortal King Stage! From then on, there was only one paragon in this world, and that was the Immortal King, Feng Wuya! "
An Lin's expression shifted again. Breaking through from the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage meant reaching the Dao Integration Stage! As expected, there really were Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures in this world. This was going to be a little troublesome …
"All of this may have been caused by that meteorite. How much do you know about that meteorite?" An Lin took a sip of tea and asked.
Yang Zheng shook his head, "I don't know about that. I only know that the meteorite is stored in a secret chamber in the Immortal King Palace. The Immortal King uses it to cultivate."
"In the past 10,000 years, there have been powerful beings who have been eyeing that meteorite. In fact, there have been a dozen or so extremely powerful exalted immortals who have appeared out of nowhere and entered the Immortal King Palace. However, all of them were killed by the Immortal King without exception, and their corpses were hung in front of the Immortal King Palace as a warning to the other powerful beings. "
An Lin's expression was a little grave. Those extremely powerful exalted immortals were most likely the Return to Void Stage cultivators sent by Nuwa and the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue. However, they had all failed.
While they were chatting.
"Dong dong dong …"
The distant and loud tolling of a bell rang out.
Yang Zheng stood up abruptly and said nervously, "This is the bell of the Immortal King Palace … That's right! Today is the day our Yong Yang City hands over the immortal items to the Immortal King Palace! "
Saying this, he bowed apologetically toward An Lin. "Exalted Immortal An Lin, I'll be taking my leave first. I have to go and prepare the cultivation resources."
An Lin nodded slightly and didn't say anything else.
It just so happened that he wanted to meet the people from the Immortal King Palace.
In the welcoming hall of the Yong Yang City Lord's Manor.
A man dressed in a golden daoist robe sat arrogantly on the main seat.
City Lord Yang Zheng and his daughter, Yang Lingqian, immediately knelt down and paid their respects when they saw the envoy.
"Your humble servant is Yang Zheng."
"Yang Lingqian."
"Greetings, envoy of the Immortal King."
The man casually tossed his vital energy toward the two people on the ground. Then, he said indifferently, "You may rise."
"Thank you for your kindness, envoy of the Immortal King!"
Yang Zheng expressed his gratitude. Then, he stood up.
An Lin had used an invisibility spell technique to spectate from the side. He was slightly surprised when he saw this scene.
This envoy of the Immortal King was only of the Spirit Nurturing Stage, while City Lord Yang Zheng was of the Soul Formation Stage. Yet, he was so humble. It seemed like the Immortal King Palace was quite intimidating.
Yang Lingqian also stood up. The eyes of the man on the main seat lit up when he saw Yang Lingqian's alluring, off-the-shoulder red dress.
Seeing this, Yang Lingqian lowered her head. She had a bad feeling about this. In order to meet Exalted Immortal An Lin, she had dressed rather openly. Now, however, she had forgotten to change into a conservative daoist robe.
Yang Zheng immediately handed a storage ring to the envoy and said respectfully, "These are the resources that Yong Yang City has offered up this year. Please take a look."
The Immortal King envoy finished refining the storage ring. He looked at the treasures inside and nodded in satisfaction. A smile appeared on his face. "City Lord Yang Zheng, you've done very well with your offering. You're worthy of praise."
Yang Zheng bowed nervously. "It's the honor of every living being on the Divine Source Continent to serve the Immortal King!" he said politely.
"It's good that you understand this principle. It is indeed the duty of every living being on the Divine Source Continent to serve the Immortal King …" the envoy said with a wide smile.
Then, his gaze fell upon Yang Lingqian. "City Lord, I see that your daughter, Yang Lingqian, is beautiful and charming. She has the beauty to topple cities … The Immortal King is currently recruiting stunning Celestial Maidens. He wants three thousand concubines. Your daughter already meets the requirements. This is an opportunity for her to ascend to the heavens in a single step. Let her come with me to the Immortal King Palace."
As soon as he said that, both of their expressions changed.
"Immortal King envoy, my daughter is still young. She's not prepared for anything …" Yang Zheng hurriedly said.
What a joke! How could she ascend to the heavens in a single step if she had three thousand concubines? Was it even possible for her to ascend to the heavens with three thousand? How could her daughter be happy if she was given the cold shoulder?
"I've recently encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation, and I need to go into seclusion to cultivate. I really can't leave now. I'm afraid I'll have to miss out on this rare opportunity. I hope the Immortal King envoy can understand …" Yang Lingqian bowed slightly. She hoped to use her cultivation base as an excuse to avoid this matter.
The man's expression turned completely cold. "The Immortal King wants to recruit concubines, and you dare to refuse? This is a great disrespect to the Immortal King! Do you believe that I'll report this to the Immortal King Palace right now? Let's see how long your City Lord's Palace can last then! "
Yang Zheng's face paled in fright upon hearing this, and Yang Lingqian's body trembled slightly.
They knew that the envoy wasn't trying to scare them. This kind of thing was far too common in the Divine Source Continent. Disobeying the Immortal King's will would result in the entire sect being annihilated.
"I … I'm willing to go!" Yang Lingqian bit down on her lower lip. She finally made her decision.
"Qian 'er … you …" Yang Zheng's hands trembled. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
"Father, I'm leaving. You have to take care of yourself. Perhaps I'll be able to return in the future." Yang Lingqian squeezed out a smile with great difficulty. However, she couldn't stop the tears from flowing down her face.
"Haha, alright, alright. It's your great fortune to become a concubine in the Immortal King Palace. Why are you acting like you're going to die?" The man chuckled. "You, come with me."
Saying this, he led the way out of the palace.
A huge griffin was lying on its stomach outside the palace. It was carrying a house on its back.
The man led Yang Lingqian into the house. The griffin let out a loud roar and flapped its wings, sweeping up gusts of gale-force winds as it flew into the clouds.
The envoy of the Immortal King had forcefully taken the City Lord's daughter away with just a few words.
An Lin looked up in the direction that the griffin had departed in. After a moment of silence, his body disappeared from the spot.
