Staring at the end of the battle, the nine marquises from the Evergreen Immortal Empire were all defeated, their bodies dyed red with blood. The spectators couldn't help but to sigh silently. Seems like the younger generations of the Evergreen Immortal Empire were somewhat lacking.
However, this couldn't be blamed. After the turmoil, the bloodline of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor didn't produce too many descendants. As for the Tenlan Heaven Kingdom, it had always been controlling the internal strife of the Evergreen Kingdom. The Supreme Sword School had also silently developed for many years, their foundation was much deeper compared to the Evergreen Kingdom after the turmoil.
From a certain perspective, Tenlan Jiang's words weren't without reason. The younger generation of a power could reflect the foundation of a power. If the overall strength of the younger generation of a power was clearly stronger than the other powers, this indicated that the foundation of that power was already very deep.
Naturally, the sparring on the platform might not be able to represent the overall strength of the younger generation, but at the very least, some clues could be seen.
The nine members of the Supreme Sword School stood in a row and clasped their hands to the young man from the Evergreen Kingdom, "Thank you for letting me win."
"Complete victory, the Supreme Sword School is indeed a supreme sect of the sword. Not only that, they even gave birth to an innate king of the sword. In comparison, the Evergreen Kingdom seems to be lacking." Tenlan Jiang calmly spoke. "Given your strength, your highness Longhao actually still dares to deny the agreement between the two great immortal empires. This is truly surprising."
"A spar is a spar, but a promise is another matter altogether. Your Highness Jiang, aren't you going a little too far by mixing the two together again and again?" Evergreen Longhao's voice turned cold. He seemed very displeased.
"Why can't you mix them together? The Evergreen Kingdom experienced the turmoil, could it be that you have forgotten some of the rules of the immortal realms?" Tenlan Jiang coldly spoke. "In the vast immortal realms, our Eastern Regions naturally have their own rules. If the Evergreen Kingdom dares to go back on their words, my Tenlan Heaven Kingdom has the qualifications to invite the major powers of the Eastern Regions to carry out the adjudication. If your highness Longhao has forgotten this ancient rule, you can seek guidance from the Evergreen Immortal Emperor when you return."
"A rule from tens of thousands of years ago, you dare to bring it out to threaten my Evergreen Kingdom?" Evergreen Longhao's countenance gradually turned sharp. His Evergreen Immortal Empire was an immortal empire, yet now, the Skymist Immortal Empire actually wanted to use the rules that were abandoned many years ago, instigating the major powers of the Eastern Regions to conduct an adjudication, wanting to enforce the 'agreement'. This was simply ridiculous.
No wonder they would come to the Evergreen KingdomPalace to spar.
"Seems like his highness Longhao also knows about this. Your Evergreen Immortal Empire isn't abiding by the agreement. Could it be that my Skymist Immortal Empire directly declared war against the Evergreen Immortal Empire? If I do that, it would be of the adjudication of the Evergreen of the Evergreen Emperor, and the Evergreen Green., of of the major of the Evergreen Immortal Tian., Kingdom of, I is.... Tenlan Jiang spoke slowly. Ever since he arrived at the Imperial City of the Evergreen Kingdom, he had been advancing step by step, pressing forward step by step. It was obvious that he had been planning this for a long time.
"Senior, what is the Immortal Realm Adjudication?" Qin Wentian transmitted his voice to the immortal king beside him.
"This is something that happened many years ago. Countless years ago, when the immortal realms were unified, the various powers were all governed by the strongest ancient emperors. Nobody dared to disobey them. However, the immortal realms were simply too vast and the ancient emperors pursued supreme cultivation realms. They basically had no time to govern the immortal realms and hence, the various powers still acted on their own. Between the various powers, there would often be conflicts or agreements. At this time, in order to prevent chaos from erupting, the envoys of the ancient emperors would let the various powers in the immortal realms conduct the adjudication, allowing the various powers to decide the final direction of the situation."
The immortal king at the side explained to Qin Wentian, "It's just that after that, the immortal realms were divided and reunited. After the death of an ancient emperor, the various powers in the immortal realms rose up and there was no longer an absolute ruler to govern the immortal realms. Naturally, there would be endless disputes and the adjudication of the immortal realms no longer existed. Only a few tens of thousands of years ago did an adjudication of the immortal realms occur and that was the last time it happened.
"In the past, under the rule of the ancient emperors, the envoys of the ancient emperors would only carry out the adjudication for the sake of balance. But now, there are no ancient emperors in the immortal realms. The Tenlan Heaven Kingdom wants to carry out the adjudication. Doesn't this mean that they are joining forces with the other major powers to forcefully suppress the Evergreen Kingdom? And those other major powers actually dare to interfere in the matters of other countries? This is simply rude to the extreme." Qin Wentian felt rage in his heart.
"That's exactly what I mean. The Tenlan Heaven Kingdom wants to act on their own and carry out the adjudication. If the adjudication agreement is established, the princess of the Evergreen Kingdom would be brought away and the Evergreen Kingdom would become a laughing stock." That immortal king transmitted his voice over.
"What if the Evergreen Kingdom doesn't agree?" Qin Wentian asked.
As long as more than half of the participants agree, the Evergreen Immortal Empire would have no choice but to carry out the adjudication. If the Evergreen Immortal Empire and the others who reject the adjudication, they can start a adjudication battle. The ones who agree and those who reject the adjudication battle can be at the immortal-foundation realm, immortal king realm or even immortal emperor realm. For example, if Matriarch Ji and the Evergreen Immortal Empire object, while the Violet Emperor, Skymist Immortal Empire and the Paragon Sword Sect agree, Matriarch Ji and the Evergreen Immortal Empire can proceed with the adjudication battle. For every battle, life and death must be determined. If they win, the adjudication battle would be nullified. If they lose, they would have to pay double the agreed price. "
The immortal king continued to transmit his voice over to Qin Wentian. "If the Evergreen Kingdom is defeated and still refuses to carry out the adjudication battle, it would mean that they have declared war against the other major powers. Naturally, the Evergreen Kingdom can also directly declare war and choose not to carry out the adjudication battle. However, no one would be willing to carry out such a war. Even for the Tenlan Heaven Kingdom, the repercussions of such a war would be too great. The Tenlan Heaven Kingdom most probably wouldn't dare to say that they have the confidence to destroy the Evergreen Kingdom."
"In that case, the battle today is merely a vanguard battle. The Tenlan Heaven Kingdom is constantly pressuring the Evergreen Kingdom and even joined forces with the Supreme Sword School to display their strength. They want the Evergreen Kingdom to abide by the agreement and suppress the Evergreen Kingdom bit by bit." Qin Wentian's eyes flashed. The immortal king beside him nodded lightly. This battle had been planned for a long time.
"The matters of my Evergreen Kingdom have yet to be decided by the other major powers." Abruptly, a cold and tyrannical voice rang out in the air, reverberating through the air. It was unknown who the owner of the voice was, but the formless pressure radiating from it caused even immortal kings to feel immense pressure. The owner of the voice should be an immortal emperor level existence.
"That's right. The Tenlan Heaven Kingdom actually dares to bring up the matters of the ancient emperor era? How laughable." Changqing Long Hao also coldly spoke. "Let me reiterate once more. The agreement made in the past cannot represent my Evergreen Kingdom. Firstly, this agreement is null and void."
"Is that so?" Skymist Jiang coldly laughed. After that, he waved his hand as a scroll appeared in the air. This scroll shone with a resplendent light as it floated in the air, slowly unfurling itself. The gazes of the crowd turned over, and when they saw the words written on the scroll, their eyes gleamed with sharpness.
"I'm sure the nobility experts of the Evergreen Kingdom, as well as his highness, are all familiar with the seal of the Evergreen Kingdom. This is the seal of the Evergreen Immortal Empire. Do you really think you can just deny it?" Tenlan Jiang calmly spoke. That seal was a diagram, the evergreen diagram of the Evergreen Kingdom. This was the seal of the Evergreen Immortal Empire. It was inscribed by the character who fought against the Changqing The Great for the throne back then.
"Everyone should have seen it clearly, right?" Tenlan Jiang waved his hand as the diagram flew back to him. He then turned his gaze to the various experts as he asked, "Does everyone think that the Evergreen Kingdom will abide by the agreement?"
Many major powers hurriedly avoided the gaze of Tenlan Jiang. This was a battle between two immortal empires. How would they dare to interfere so easily?
"Since it's an agreement, we naturally have to abide by it." An expert from the Solarsky Mountain spoke.
"Since there's an agreement, the Evergreen Kingdom, as a peak power of the Eastern Regions, should naturally abide by it." An expert from the Supreme Sword School stated his stance, confirming that they were on the same side as the Tenlan Heaven Kingdom. Most probably, the Tenlan Heaven Kingdom had promised them some benefits.
Changqing Long Hao's expression was extremely unsightly to behold. He turned his gaze to the other two major powers. In the direction of the Celestial Palace, an expert from the Evergreen Kingdom laughed, "With the agreement in place, I believe the Evergreen Kingdom should abide by it."
"Everyone, it seems like you guys don't mind the matter being blown out of proportion." Changqing Long Hao coldly spoke. The Supreme Sword School, Tenlan Heaven Kingdom, Celestial Palace, as well as Zidi's side. Seems like these people were intending to facilitate the adjudication of the immortal realms.
To the Celestial Palace and the Taihua Empire, they were actually more than happy to see the two great immortal empires fighting each other. In any case, they only wanted to watch the show. In fact, it would be even more interesting if a war broke out between the two empires.
"Although this agreement exists, there's still some controversy. Princess Qing'er and Princess Liuli are both outstanding juniors, and our Taihua Immortal Dynasty has also produced many outstanding youths during these years. If the Evergreen Kingdom is willing to form a marriage alliance with our Taihua Immortal Dynasty, the two princesses would already have a husband …" An expert from the Taihua Immortal Dynasty laughed, his words causing the experts from the Tenlan Heaven Kingdom and the Evergreen Kingdom to silently curse this old fox in their hearts.
"My royal father and the White Emperor naturally have their own plans regarding the marriage of the two princesses. The two princesses naturally have the right to choose, they naturally wouldn't be affected by the so-called agreement. They also wouldn't sacrifice themselves for the benefit of the empire." Changqing Long Hao coldly spoke. The expert from the Taihua Immortal Dynasty laughed, "Since your highness has already said this, my Taihua Immortal Dynasty naturally won't say anything more. Just treat it as though I've never said anything."
The atmosphere of the immortal banquet was extremely heavy. Looking at the situation, the Tenlan Heaven Kingdom was already strong enough to initiate the adjudication. If the Evergreen Kingdom didn't agree to the adjudication, which direction would this conflict develop towards? Would it cause a huge commotion in the Eastern Regions?
