Rong Xiao's gaze changed when he looked at Qin Wentian. He didn't expect Qin Wentian to be so famous, obtaining the top ranker of the Immortal Ascension Rankings in the City of Ancient Emperors.
As for Zidi's son Zi Daoyang and Mo Xie, they had never interacted with them before and didn't have a good understanding of their strength. But since they were descendants of immortal kings and emperors, they shouldn't be weak. It was just that they didn't know how strong they would be when compared to the geniuses at the peak of the Southern Regions.
"He shouldn't be a genius from the Southern Phoenix Immortal City, right?" Someone asked.
"Qin Wentian is from the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures, the Immortal Qianbian Gate where the Emperor Qianbian resides." Nanfeng Yunxi spoke, informing everyone of Qin Wentian's identity. If this was the case, they would be more respectful when speaking to him. Many of the people here were descendants of immortal kings and emperors, and some of them were geniuses at the peak of the Southern Region.
"So this is the case. A heaven's chosen from the Eastern Regions, it's truly not bad to be able to meet here. If there's a chance, we can even spar against each other." The eyes of someone flickered with battle intent.
"Although he is the top ranker of the Immortal Ascension Rankings, he is in the same batch as holy maiden Namhwang Yunxi and has just broken through to immortal-foundation not too long ago. His cultivation base isn't high enough." A young expert wearing a special armor said faintly. His tone was filled with arrogance and arrogance. He was wearing a platinum-like battle robe, which made people feel that he was extraordinarily powerful. His eyes were so calm that it made people feel that he was unfathomable.
This person stood beside a supreme beautiful holy maiden. This was none other than Nanfeng Qingruo, a heaven's chosen who was invited here by Nanfeng Qingruo. Even in the perspective of the crowd here, his status could be considered to be at the peak. He was a disciple of a powerful ancient clan in the Southern Regions, a supreme genius of the Jiang Clan.
The Jiang Clan was the same as the Namhwang Clan, an ancient clan with a long history and deep foundations. It wasn't easy for Nanfeng Qingruo to invite a disciple of the Jiang Clan here.
What was even rarer was that this young man was named Jiang Ziyu. He was extremely famous among the younger generations of the Jiang Clan, and many years ago, he was the top ranker on the Immortal Ascension Rankings in the City of Ancient Emperors. Right now, he had already broken through to the second-level of immortal-foundation and had extremely powerful combat prowess.
In the southern regions of the immortal realms, the three ancient clans were the hegemons. The other immortal emperor-ranked powers all had their own sharpness, but the foundations of the three ancient clans were the deepest.
The three ancient clans were the Namhwang Clan of the Southern Phoenix Immortal City, the Jiang Clan of the Ancient Sky Capital, and the Ying Clan of the Imperial Emperor City.
Among the three ancient clans, the Namhwang Clan didn't like to fight, hence, the Southern Phoenix Immortal City was extremely safe. The Jiang Clan was the most low-profile and mysterious, having the smallest population among the three. The Ying Clan of the Imperial Emperor City had the greatest ambitions. They established the Ying Immortal Empire and were the hegemons of the Southern Regions on the surface. In the empire, the Ying Clan was the king, unlike the Namhwang Clan and the Jiang Clan who didn't openly control their own territories. They only had absolute influence in their own territories, but they didn't need other powers to submit to them.
Qin Wentian glanced at Jiang Ziyu, he could sense the vast might radiating from him. Jiang Ziyu was definitely an extremely powerful character. After which, he heard Namhwang Yunxi sending him a voice transmission, "A genius from the Jiang Clan, one of the three ancient clans of the Southern Regions, Jiang Ziyu. He entered the City of Ancient Emperors many years ago and obtained the top ranker on the Immortal Ascension Rankings."
Qin Wentian glanced at Namhwang Yunxi. Seems like Namhwang Yunxi regarded this young man with great importance and intentionally sent him a voice transmission.
"The immortal banquet has already been prepared. Everyone, please be seated." At this moment, a voice drifted over. Everyone turned their gazes over and upon seeing that the preparations for the immortal banquet had already been completed, they all nodded their heads and entered the immortal banquet, casually taking their seats. Qin Wentian, Jun Mengchen, Purgatory and Namhwang Yunxi sat together, while the other holy maidens sat beside their friends.
The immortal banquet was naturally extremely sumptuous. There were strange fruits that exuded immortal qi, and one could tell with a single glance that these weren't ordinary items. Jun Mengchen took a fruit and directly swallowed it. A moment later, he felt a terrifying surge of heat burning his immortal body, seeping into his immortal bones, cleansing his body.
"Good stuff." Jun Mengchen smiled, "Senior brother, it seems like we're in luck. The immortal banquet of the Namhwang Clan isn't simple at all."
"Yunxi, do you want to sit on the host seat? This immortal banquet today can be considered to have used your name to invite all the geniuses here." The beautiful matriarch of the Southern Phoenix Clan glanced at Nanfeng Yunxi as she spoke.
"No need, it's the same even if I sit here." Namhwang Yunxi shook her head.
"That's fine too, accompany your friends and have a good chat." The beautiful middle-aged woman calmly spoke. There were many elders from the previous generations of the Namhwang Clan beside her.
"Everyone here is from the same generation. As people from the previous generations, there's no need for us to say too much. Everyone, feel free to come here and interact more. There's no need to stand on ceremony. If you have any requests, feel free to state them. These juniors of the Namhwang Clan still need your help." The beautiful middle-aged woman smiled. After that, she raised her wine cup and smiled at everyone, "Let me toast to everyone. I wish everyone a pleasant banquet."
"Senior is too polite." Everyone raised their cups and downed it. After that, they started chatting among themselves, creating a lively atmosphere.
"You should be able to guess that the reason I invited you here isn't merely because I've stepped into the immortal foundation, right?" Namhwang Yunxi spoke to Qin Wentian beside her. Qin Wentian nodded his head lightly.
"In that case, do you know the specifics now?" Namhwang Yunxi asked again.
"I roughly know a little, but I don't know the details." Qin Wentian replied.
"I'm here to ask for your help." Namhwang Yunxi directly spoke. "There are many holy maidens in the Namhwang Clan, but only one can appear every hundred years. They have to pass the test and enter the ancestral land of our Namhwang Clan. Only the ancestral land can determine who the Holy Successor is."
"Ancestral land?" Qin Wentian's eyes flashed. The Namhwang Clan actually didn't hide anything about this.
"Yes, the ancestral land requires someone to protect the Holy Successor. Among the holy maidens of the Namhwang Clan, only nine of them have the qualifications to enter. Hence, the majority of them have to be eliminated. I invited you here because I want to ask for your help. I want to contend for the position of the Holy Successor." Namhwang Yunxi didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.
After speaking, her beautiful eyes stared at Qin Wentian.
"Okay, I will do my best to help you." Qin Wentian nodded, not bothering to be polite at all.
"Thank you. However, our opponents aren't simple. They are all very powerful." Namhwang Yunxi smiled. Since she invited Qin Wentian here, she naturally understood that given Qin Wentian's personality, he would definitely act to help her. This fellow was someone who valued loyalty.
"I know. Aren't you worried that my cultivation base is too low when I just stepped into immortal-foundation? I can see that the highest cultivation base here is at the fourth-level of immortal-foundation. Are there no restrictions on the cultivation base of the people you invite? "Qin Wentian curiously asked.
"Cultivation base doesn't represent everything. You will understand." Namhwang Yunxi smiled. "I believe that we will definitely succeed in the first round and enter the ancestral land of the Namhwang Clan. To you, this can also be considered a tempering exercise. It's just that after entering the ancestral land, the competition will be even more intense. You will have to face powerful opponents."
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded his head lightly. "I still have a question. Why don't you get the Namhwang Clan's own people to protect the ancestral land? Why do you want to use outsiders instead?"
"Very simple. After the holy maidens of the Namhwang Clan enter the ancestral land to obtain the inheritance, there would be a period of time where they wouldn't be able to resist. If the people of the Namhwang Clan enter together, it would be too dangerous. Let alone protecting the ancestral land, they might not even be able to resist the temptation of the inheritance." Namhwang Yunxi slowly spoke. Upon seeing a look of contemplation on Qin Wentian's face, she smiled, "But you don't have to think too much about it. Only those with the bloodline of the Namhwang Clan would be able to obtain the inheritance."
"They even dare to defy the orders of the Namhwang Clan? Is the temptation of the ancestral land so great?" Qin Wentian's eyes flashed.
"This has already been proven many years ago. There were many cases of betrayal, and in the end, we decided to use people who aren't from the Namhwang Clan. The ancestral land has a mysterious attraction to the descendants of the Namhwang Clan." Namhwang Yunxi replied. The two of them were chatting openly. The others were the same as well. Since they asked for help, they naturally had to make things clear. After all, this wasn't some secret.
Many people came here because they wanted to witness the inheritance of the Namhwang Clan.
"All the geniuses here should understand now, right? The inheritance of our Namhwang Clan will have to trouble all of you." The beautiful middle-aged woman spoke again. The ancestral land opened once every hundred years to select a Holy Successor. To the Namhwang Clan, this was a major matter.
"It's my honor to be able to personally protect the Holy Successor of the Namhwang Clan." An arrogant voice rang out. The person who spoke was none other than Zong Zhan. He was confident in his own strength and in addition to Nanfeng Aoxue's strength, there was no doubt that the two of them would be a perfect match.
"Arrogant." Jiang Ziyu coldly spoke. After that, he turned to Nanfeng Qingruo beside him and spoke in a low voice, "Qingruo, the position of the Holy Successor will definitely be yours."
"Shengge, I naturally won't disappoint you." The protector of Nanfeng Shengge spoke, he was determined to succeed.
"All the geniuses here are filled with lofty aspirations. I wish all of you success in advance." The beautiful middle-aged woman smiled. She liked to see the holy maidens of the Namhwang Clan competing against each other. Only through competition would experts emerge. The most outstanding ones would always step on geniuses to advance!
