"The Seven Prefectures Grand Banquet …"
Zhao Lu took a deep breath when he heard Duan Lingtian's question. His eyes lit up instantly. "On the surface, it's a stage for the most outstanding young prodigies of the Seven Prefectures to show off their strength. However, there's an opportunity behind the scenes."
"An opportunity for the forces behind the top ten in the Seven Prefectures Grand Banquet."
"In that opportunity, one of the Intermediate God Emperors from those forces has a chance to advance to the next level and become an Upper God Emperor in a short period of time!"
"Of course, it's not a hundred percent, but it's very likely."
"Throughout history, at least two Intermediate God Emperors have been promoted to Upper God Emperors in every Seven Prefectures Grand Banquet."
"In the last Seven Prefectures Grand Banquet, the prodigy from the Heaven's Roar Sect of the State of Qing made it to the top ten. Not long after, a Intermediate God Emperor from the Heaven's Roar Sect successfully advanced to Upper God Emperor … Since then, the Heaven's Roar Sect has been recognized as the strongest force in the State of Qing!"
State of Qing.
This was not the first time Duan Lingtian had heard of it.
It was not the first time he had heard of the Heaven's Roar Sect either.
Previously, when he was still in the Heavenly Dragon Sect, in the Peace City of the Sovereign Battle Realm, a Celestial Emperor level force of the Qing State Prefecture had sent a Celestial Emperor expert, Elder Silver Puppet, to recruit him.
At that time, Elder Silver Puppet had quarreled with an Emperor God expert from the Seven Kills Valley in Tung Leng Province. The Seven Kills Valley expert had also mentioned that Puppet Villa was inferior to the Heaven's Roar Sect.
"What kind of opportunity can allow a Intermediate God Emperor to advance to Upper God Emperor?"
Duan Lingtian asked curiously as he looked at Zhao Lu.
Zhao Lu smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I'm not too sure about the specifics … I'm afraid only the Emperor God experts in the sects know about this."
"I don't have access to that level of knowledge yet."
Zhao Lu said.
Duan Ling Tian nodded in understanding when he heard this.
"If you really want to know, you can ask Senior Granduncle."
Zhao Lu said.
The Senior Granduncle he was referring to was Zhen Pingfan.
"It doesn't seem to be too long until the next Seven Prefectures Feast?"
Duan Lingtian asked Zhao Lu. Previously, he had heard the clan master of the Tianlong Clan, Long Qingchong, mention that the next Seven Manors Feast wouldn't be too far away.
"Yes."
Zhao Lu nodded. "About fifty years."
"As for the reason why the sect is pouring resources into you now, it's because we hope that you can break through to the mid-level Divine Sovereign Realm in these fifty years. That way, you will be able to obtain one of the top ten rankings in the Seven Prefectures Grand Banquet and fight for a chance to become a Void Pierce Stage elder of the sect."
Zhao Lu said.
"Fifty years."
Duan Ling Tian's eyes glinted when he heard the Pure Sun Sect wanted him to become an Intermediate Divine Emperor within 50 years. A faint smile appeared on his face.
Without the help of the Chunyang School, he was not very confident that he could break through to the mid-level Divine Emperor Realm in fifty years.
Now that the Chunyang School was preparing to pour a large amount of resources into him, he couldn't help but look forward to it … With the foundation of the Chunyang School, it shouldn't be too much of a problem for him to become a Medium Divine Emperor in fifty years, right?
"Elder Zhao Lu, do you know what kind of resources the sect has given me?"
Duan Lingtian asked curiously.
Although he was confident in the Chunyang School, he didn't know what kind of resources the Chunyang School was going to give him. Therefore, he was a little uncertain.
"Based on what I know …"
As Zhao Lu mentioned the resources the Chunyang School was going to give to Duan Lingtian, Duan Lingtian's eyes immediately lit up.
Among the resources, there were some rare divine fruits that were priceless. There were also other treasures that could be consumed directly or refined into divine pills.
Duan Lingtian was confident that he could refine some of the treasures into supreme Divine Pills with better effects.
Apart from that, the Chunyang School had also given him some imperial grade divine pills!
These were the treasures that the Chunyang School had collected over the years.
Normally, even True Martial Disciples wouldn't have the opportunity to obtain these treasures. Now, they were giving them to Duan Lingtian unconditionally.
"Duan Ling Tian, it can be said that the sect is going all out to nurture you. If you don't break through to the Intermediate Divine Emperor Stage in 50 years, you must rank in the top ten in the Seven Mansions Banquet."
Even if that's not very likely.
Otherwise, if these resources go to waste, Yun Feng won't blame you, but the other branches will definitely have other ideas … At that time, it won't be easy for you to leave the Chunyang School. "
Zhao Lu paused for a moment before he continued, "Of course, when I said it won't be easy for you to leave the Chunyang School, I didn't mean that the Chunyang School wants to imprison you. It's that the other branches want you to stay in the Chunyang School for a longer period of time and contribute to the Chunyang School. It's the same as asking you to repay your debt."
"Now that you're wasting resources on you, you're being forced to repay the debt."
Zhao Lu said.
At first, Duan Lingtian was slightly taken aback when he heard Zhao Lu's words.
However, when he heard Zhao Lu's words, Duan Lingtian regained his senses and smiled faintly.
"What? Aren't you worried? "
Zhao Lu asked.
"It's not that I'm not worried."
Duan Lingtian shook his head. "I can only say that I can completely understand what they're doing."
If he were in Duan Lingtian's shoes, if he were to waste his resources on a stranger and the stranger failed to live up to his expectations and did not accomplish what he wanted him to do … Under such circumstances, he would not be happy if the stranger simply patted his butt and left.
"Elder Zhao Lu, how much do you know about the Seven Prefectures' Feast?"
Before Zhao Lu left, Duan Ling Tian asked him many questions about the Seven Mansion Banquet. Soon after, Duan Ling Tian managed to find out everything Zhao Lu knew.
It was also at this time that Duan Lingtian had a more comprehensive understanding of the Seven Prefectures' Feast.
The Seven Prefectures' Feast was jointly organized by the Seven Prefectures.
It was a feast for the most outstanding young prodigies in the Seven Prefectures.
However, only the top forces in the Seven Prefectures' Feast would participate.
For example, only the top five forces in Tung Leng Province were qualified to participate in the Seven Prefectures' Feast. Forces like the Tianlong Clan and the Heaven Illumination Sect, even if they were Emperor God forces, were not qualified to participate.
"However … is the Seven Prefectures' Feast really only organized by the top forces in the Seven Prefectures?
"Then why do the young prodigies in the top ten forces in the Seven Prefectures' Feast have a Middle Emperor God expert who has a chance of being promoted to an Upper Emperor God?
"What's the secret behind this?"
Duan Lingtian was very curious about this and could not help but send a message to Zhen Pingfan.
However, there was no response from Zhen Pingfan. His message was like a stone sinking into the sea.
"It seems like Elder Zhen is cultivating or is unable to receive a message."
Usually, this would mean that Zhen Pingfan had not received a message. After all, it would not take much time for him to reply to a message if he received one, unless he needed to plan the content of the message.
If he did not receive a message, it must mean that Zhen Pingfan was in a state where he could not be disturbed and there was a disk array around him to block messages.
Duan Lingtian was not in a hurry because he would have a chance to ask sooner or later.
"I'm really looking forward to the things that the Chunyang School gave me …
"Also, I can enter the Chunyang School's secret room freely? Does that mean that I can further comprehend the many laws I have mastered in there to a higher level?
"Hmm … I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait until I break through to become a Middle God Emperor first.
"If I don't become a Middle God Emperor and stay in the secret room for so long, the decision-makers in the Chunyang School might not be willing … If I become a Middle God Emperor and stay in there until the Seven Prefectures' Feast begins, I don't think they will say anything."
Duan Lingtian was relieved when he thought of this.
"Also … it's not convenient to refine ultimate Emperor Divine Pills in the Chunyang School, so I'll go out and do it.
"However, before that, I must guarantee that when I leave, my whereabouts will be absolutely secret."
Originally, Duan Lingtian thought that since he hadn't offended anyone in the Tianlong Clan, he wasn't worried about being ambushed when he went out.
However, after chatting with Zhao Lu for a while, he learned that Zhao Lu didn't have much of a choice.
Lan Xilin of the Righteous Faction, who was also the disciple of the Chunyang School who had captured the disciple of Senior Ye Beiyuan of the Heaven Illumination Sect and brought him back to the Chunyang School, was a vengeful person!
At first, Duan Lingtian was puzzled as to why Zhao Lu understood Lan Xilin so well.
Later on, Zhao Lu told him that he had been in the Righteous Light Faction before. It was only then that he came to a realization. At the same time, he became more wary of Lan Xilin.
Thinking back to yesterday, when he had faced Lan Xilin, although Lan Xilin had been smiling all the time, he still felt very uncomfortable.
"Duan Lingtian, don't underestimate Lan Xilin … Although Lan Xilin only became a middle-level God Emperor a hundred years ago, his strength is almost on par with the best middle-level God Emperors in the Chunyang School. I'm afraid he might not be weaker than you.
"He's also one of the young prodigies from the Chunyang School who participated in the Seven Prefectures Feast … Among the young prodigies under the age of ten thousand in the Chunyang School, the highest cultivation base is currently a middle-level God Emperor.
"If we don't count you … Among the young prodigies under the age of ten thousand in the Chunyang School, Lan Xilin's strength can be ranked in the top five."
This was also Zhao Lu's warning to him.
"Moreover … if Lan Xilin wants to deal with you, he might not do it himself.
"He's the only direct descendant of the Righteous Light Faction's Patriarch, Lan Zhengming. You can imagine how much his great-grandfather values him … Let's not talk about others, just Liu Hui by his side, the dignified Elder Lingxu, is like his shadow, inseparable from him.
"The most important thing is … Liu Hui is different from ordinary Elder Lingxu."
"In his eyes, the Righteous Light Faction's Patriarch is greater than the sky … If, and I'm saying if, one day, he has to choose between the Righteous Light Faction's Patriarch and the Chunyang School, he will choose the Righteous Light Faction's Patriarch without hesitation.
"If the Righteous Light Faction's Patriarch dies, he might not even frown."
Even though Zhao Lu did not mention anything else, he only spoke up to this point.
However, Duan Lingtian understood the meaning behind his words.
If Lan Xilin really wanted to deal with him, he did not even need to find someone else. He only needed to send Elder Lingxu, Liu Hui, who was by his side!
