Qin Wentian surveyed the experts in the surroundings. Those who could attend this banquet were all powerful characters at the immortal king realm or above. All of them had extraordinary statuses in the royal palace. Even the princes and Beiming Nongyue wouldn't receive too much respect in the crowd.
However, these people weren't stingy with their praises for Princess Kitamura. All sorts of voices drifted into Qin Wentian's ears, sounding extremely chaotic. Although Qin Wentian didn't pay too much attention to them, the vast majority of them were praising Princess Kitamura. There were even some who were filled with reverence.
Immortal emperor, how many people could only look up to this height in their entire lives? Even for those who attended this banquet, including all the immortal kings, only a single digit would be able to step into the immortal emperor realm.
However, Princess Kitamura has already broken through from the immortal king realm to the immortal emperor realm. How could the word 'heaven's chosen' be sufficient to describe her? She was simply unrivalled in the heavens and earth. In their words, Princess Kitamura was already unrivalled in the immortal realms. Her talent could shock the entire immortal realms.
At this moment, there were experts walking out from the emperor palace. Many people bowed slightly. There were emperor-ranked characters walking out, receiving the respect of the crowd.
Immortal-ranked experts were lofty existences no matter where they went, let alone Princess Kitamura who was the youngest immortal emperor in history.
Finally, a middle-aged man exuding magnificence walked out. In an instant, the voices stopped. Everyone turned to him and bowed in unison, "We pay our respects to your Majesty."
Qin Wentian surveyed the man before him. This man seemed to be around forty years of age and had the vigor of a dragon and tiger. Although his aura was calm, his gaze was immeasurably deep. His eyes were filled with spirit, sweeping through everyone with a single glance. Everyone felt as though the immortal emperor was looking at them.
"Today, I invited all of you here for a joyous banquet. That lass Youhuang has always been extraordinary since young. Regardless of which aspect she is in, she is incomparably outstanding. Right now, she even broke the record of being the number one emperor in the history of our Hokage Sengoku Kingdom, becoming the youngest immortal emperor since the founding of our dynasty. Hence, I wish to share this joy with everyone and welcome her together. Everyone, I hope you all won't mind, right?"
The Darknorth Immortal Emperor smiled. His voice was warm and polite, appearing very approachable. Everyone laughed, "Princess Youhuang's talent is outstanding. Now that she has broken through to the immortal emperor realm, this is naturally a joyous matter. Let us congratulate your Majesty."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty." All the experts bowed. The Darknorth Heavenly Emperor smiled and said, "You don't have to be so polite. Please, take your seats."
"Your Majesty, please take your seat." Everyone naturally understood the rules of etiquette. If the Darknorth Heavenly Emperor didn't enter the banquet, who would dare to do so? Even if His Majesty didn't mind, they still had to be polite.
"Alright." The Darknorth Immortal Emperor nodded and sat on the main seat. The princes and princesses all took their seats below him. After that, everyone sat down.
"Everyone, please take your seats. However, the banquet might have to wait for a while. After all, the purpose of this banquet is to welcome Youhuang. I hope that everyone won't mind." The Darknorth Immortal Emperor smiled warmly. Everyone nodded, indicating that they understood. This was only natural.
"Nongyue, why are you sitting there?" At this moment, the prince who quarreled with Beiming Nongyue earlier spoke, his words causing Beiming Nongyue to unhappily glance at him.
As the sound of his voice faded, the Darknorth Immortal Emperor turned his gaze to Beiming Nongyue before glancing at the three people beside her. He then smiled, "Nongyue, why haven't father seen these three before?"
"Father, they are all my friends." Beiming Nongyue spoke, silently cursing her father for acting dumb in her heart. The entire Hokage Sengoku Kingdom belonged to him. How could matters in the royal palace be hidden from him? Let alone the fact that this concerned her man. The Darknorth Immortal Emperor should have long known about it.
"Why don't you introduce them to father?" The Darknorth Immortal Emperor smiled, appearing incomparably warm. However, Qin Wentian also knew that a character like the Darknorth Immortal Emperor would surely be extremely astute. How could he not know of Li Yufeng?
"These are my friends, Qin Wentian and Zhiyin. They came from afar, hence I specially brought them to the royal palace. I hope father won't blame me." The Darknorth Immortal Emperor pointed to Qin Wentian and Zhiyin as he spoke. After that, he pointed to Li Yufeng.
However, before she could say anything, Li Yufeng already stood up and bowed to the Darknorth Immortal Emperor with a smile, "I'm Li Yufeng from the Hundred Refinements Sect, I pay my respects to your Majesty."
"Someone from the Hundred Refinements Sect?" The Darknorth Immortal Emperor feigned ignorance. He then smiled, "You are so far away, why are you so free to come to my royal palace to play?"
Qin Wentian secretly laughed in his heart. This Darknorth Immortal Emperor's ability to feign ignorance was truly top-notch. Let's see if this Li Yufeng still dares to boast in front of the Darknorth Immortal Emperor.
"Junior is acquainted with Nongyue and we have a mutual admiration for each other. Because I couldn't control my longing for her, I specially came to the royal palace." Li Yufeng also understood that the Darknorth Immortal Emperor was feigning ignorance. Hence, he decided to lay his cards on the table, causing Qin Wentian to silently muse that this fellow was truly audacious, directly saying that he and Beiming Nongyue had a mutual admiration for each other. Qin Wentian was filled with admiration for him.
"Oh?" The Darknorth Immortal Emperor glanced at Beiming Nongyue. "Nongyue, is that so?"
Beiming Nongyue also stood up, "Father, Li Yufeng's words are the truth."
"When a daughter is of age, she can't be kept at home. Such a major matter, why didn't you discuss this with father first? Could it be that you are planning to marry him in private?" The Darknorth Immortal Emperor calmly spoke, no longer as amicable as before. A moment later, even Qin Wentian who was at the side felt a pressure gushing over. As long as the emotions of the Darknorth Immortal Emperor fluctuated, everyone would feel a sense of pressure.
"Your daughter doesn't dare to. This time around, I brought Li Yufeng here because I want father to take a look at him." Beiming Nongyue bowed.
"Are you planning to act first and report later?" That prince earlier coldly laughed. Beiming Nongyue coldly glanced at him. The relationship between the princes and princesses of the Hokage Sengoku Kingdom wasn't so harmonious. The Darknorth Immortal Emperor had many wives and this prince had the same father but different mothers as Beiming Nongyue. It was inevitable that there would be conflicts in the royal palace. Even for an immortal dynasty that focused on cultivation, it was no exception.
"Also, casually bringing your friends to the banquet? Could it be that Nongyue, don't you know what kind of standard this banquet is? Is it a place where your ordinary friends can casually enter?" Another prince impolitely spoke. The nobility characters as well as those attending the banquet all fell silent. This was the family matter of the Darknorth Immortal Emperor, it wasn't their place to interfere.
"I was originally preparing to host a banquet in the princess residence and coincidentally, the bell chimes rang out. I know that elder sis has broken through to the immortal emperor realm and the royal palace is celebrating. This isn't a secret, as a princess of an immortal dynasty, can't I bring my friends here?" Beiming Nongyue counter-asked.
"How willful." That prince coldly snorted.
"Enough, Youhuang has arrived." The Darknorth Immortal Emperor calmly spoke, causing the quarrels to cease. The gazes of everyone turned to the horizons and as expected, not long after, a few figures could be seen flying over. There were immortal kings who went to welcome Beiming Youhuang, as well as the immortal kings who entered the sacred academy together with her. They all came over together.
The Darknorth Immortal Emperor stood up. Everyone instantly stood up as well, staring at Princess Kitamura who was slowly walking over. That supreme beauty was as dazzling as ever. She stood there, causing the other geniuses in the surroundings to lose their luster. No one could compete with her for the limelight.
"Youhuang, my daughter." The Darknorth Immortal Emperor smiled, his voice filled with doting love and pride. This daughter of his was the most outstanding one among all his children. Regardless of beauty or talent, she was naturally the one he doted on the most.
The youngest immortal emperor in history. In the future, her achievements might even surpass him, her father. He would naturally be proud of such a daughter.
"Father." Princess Kitamura halted her steps and called out to her father.
"We pay our respects to your Majesty." The others bowed.
"Congratulations to Princess Youhuang for breaking through to the immortal emperor realm." The experts at the banquet all clasped their hands in congratulations. For a period of time, the atmosphere was extremely lively.
Princess Kitamura nodded lightly to everyone, there was no joy nor sorrow in her expression. Her personality was as cold as ice, as though she wouldn't be moved at all. Her heart was like this, other than the power she had, external fame wouldn't be able to sway her.
"What a cold and elegant woman." Qin Wentian stared at Princess Kitamura as he silently mused. He had met Princess Kitamura before a very long time ago. But at that time in the City of Ancient Emperors, the one he met wasn't Princess Kitamura's true self. He had no idea what she was, and she could even seize the body of others. It was extremely bizarre, like a beautiful female ghost.
"Youhuang, come and sit beside father." The Darknorth Immortal Emperor smiled. Princess Kitamura nodded her head lightly. After that, she stepped out and moved to the side of the Darknorth Immortal Emperor.
The Darknorth Immortal Emperor personally gave half of his seat to Princess Kitamura, causing the hearts of the nobility to tremble. The countenances of many princes and princesses froze as an unsightly look flashed in their eyes. However, they soon concealed it.
The Darknorth Immortal Emperor gave half of his seat to Princess Kitamura. Although it seemed to be an unintentional action, if one thought deeply about it, the meaning behind it was sufficient to cause the hearts of everyone to tremble. They didn't know if the Darknorth Immortal Emperor had that layer of meaning, or if his words were half true and half false.
However, Princess Kitamura didn't mind it at all. If he wanted her to sit, she would sit.
"Alright, let the banquet begin." The Darknorth Immortal Emperor waved his hand. Everyone returned to their seats and the banquet began. The Darknorth Immortal Emperor raised his cup, "Let's toast to Youhuang, to celebrate the glorious return of my beloved daughter."
"Congratulations to Princess Youhuang for her glorious return." Everyone raised their cups and drank.
"Youhuang, this time when the immortal kings came out from the Sacred Academy, what's the situation inside?" The Darknorth Immortal Emperor asked.
"Father, with the opening of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy, the era is about to change. Maybe things might really be like what the rumors say, the era of ancient emperors is about to begin. The vast immortal realms would surely be filled with a storm of blood and storms." Princess Kitamura sighed, her words causing the expressions of everyone to freeze. The Darknorth Immortal Emperor asked, "Why do you say so?"
"This time around, the Tiandao Sacred Academy has opened. For those at the immortal king level who entered the Sacred Academy, a total of five immortal emperors have emerged." As the sound of Princess Kitamura's voice faded, it was like a bolt of lightning striking the hearts of everyone, incomparably shocking.
In a short span of less than a hundred years, five immortal emperors emerged from the Tiandao Sacred Academy? Has she gone crazy?
When did it become so easy for immortal emperors to emerge?
Qin Wentian's gaze also trembled. He knew the difficulty of cultivation. Back then, although the immortal-foundation realm was chased out after fifty years, it was a fact that no immortal kings were born. There were many who were already close to the immortal king realm.
However, there were actually five immortal emperors among the immortal kings. This was simply unbelievable and hard to imagine. No wonder everyone was shocked. Clearly, they were all stunned by this news.
Even the Darknorth Immortal Emperor started. After that, he spoke, "Seems like a storm is about to rise in the immortal realms. Although five immortal emperors wouldn't be able to cause too much of a storm, this is a sign that a new era is about to be born. Maybe, the ancient emperors are among you all."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Maybe, the ancient emperors were none other than Princess Kitamura!
