Xia Hou's words were very direct and he wasn't exaggerating. Given Di Tian's attainments in formations, if he broke through to the mid-stage of the immortal emperor realm in the future, he would definitely have the qualifications to become one of the five governors of Lifire City. Naturally, the prerequisite was that the Lifire Empyrean had to trust him and give him a position.
"But what benefits does this bring to Governor Xia Hou?" Di Tian asked.
"I'm in need of a capable subordinate to assist me. After all, it's impossible for me to remain in this position forever. I naturally want to climb higher." Xia Hou spoke, his words were as direct as ever.
"I understand Governor Xia Hou's meaning. It's just that Di Tian is used to being free and unrestrained, I don't like to be controlled. I can only thank Governor Xia Hou for your kind intentions." Since the other party was so direct, Di Tian didn't want to beat around the bush and directly rejected. What a joke, wanting him to be Xia Hou's subordinate?
His original self was already a governor in the northern city regions and was on the same level as Xia Hou. Did a mere vice governor want to dismiss him?
"Di Tian, although your attainments in formations are high, you have to understand that this place is Lifire City and Lifire City is also a part of the Lifelong Realm. This vast and boundless region is governed by the Realmlord. Only by entering this place would you truly have authority and authority. You would have a chance to rise up to the heavens." Governor Xia Hou persuaded.
"I naturally have my own thoughts." Di Tian's expression didn't change at all as he calmly replied.
"Everyone has their own ambitions. Since this is the case, I won't persuade you any further." Governor Xia Hou spoke. "Farewell."
After speaking, he directly turned and left, no longer as polite as before. After all, his status was there for all to see. He personally came here to invite Di Tian to join his governor's manor but was rejected. He naturally felt that he had lost a lot of face.
"Governor Xia Hou, take care." Di Tian spoke, coldly laughing in his heart as he watched Xia Hou leave. As expected, a person's personality wouldn't change so easily. Back in the Lifire Palace, he could already sense Xia Hou's arrogance. That kind of domineering aura of someone with a high status couldn't be concealed. Naturally, he didn't want to hide it.
"Sir, are you really going to reject him so directly?" The serving girl blinked. Governor Xia Hou personally came to invite Di Tian, wanting him to become a vice governor. This was truly extremely tempting but Di Tian didn't even consider it and directly rejected it.
"Vice Commander?" Di Tian laughed. "Maybe, if he gives me his position, I might consider it."
The maid froze when she heard this. After which, Di Tian continued, "Little Zhu, let's go out for a walk."
"Where are we going?" The maid asked.
"The Mo Family has already sent people to visit them twice. It's only right that we pay them a visit." Di Tian laughed. The serving girl smiled and nodded. Upon seeing Di Tian's current status, she was naturally very happy in her heart. In Lifire City, initial-stage immortal emperors weren't considered impressive characters, they could be seen everywhere and had no status. However, her young master, who was an initial-stage immortal emperor, was already a major character. All the major aristocratic clans would personally send people to pay their respects to him.
Lin Fan could still remember the arrogant tone of that person from the Yan Clan back then, wanting Young Master to attend a gathering. Only the outstanding ones would be able to become a guest elder of the Yan Clan. What a joke. But now, Young Master was going to pay a visit to someone else, and it was to head straight to the Mo Clan which was on the same level as the Yan Clan. The changes were truly quick. However, Young Master was still calm about it.
…
The Mo Clan naturally welcomed Di Tian's visit very much. An elder of the Mo Clan, Mo Fei, personally came out to welcome him. When Di Tian stepped into the Mo Clan, he immediately ordered people to prepare a grand banquet.
At the banquet, many major characters of the Mo Clan were present. The one sitting at the head of the banquet was none other than the current clan leader of the Mo Clan, Mo Ting.
Mo Ting appeared to be less than forty years of age and was glowing with health and vigor. When he was young, he must have been a handsome young man.
"Di Tian, Mo Fei has nothing but praise for you. I also want to see what sort of character you are exactly, able to cause the Yan Clan to lose all face with just an initial-stage immortal emperor." Mo Ting smiled as he raised his cup to Di Tian.
"Clan leader praises me too much. I was just lucky. That Yan Feng's attainments in the dao of formations are extremely high." Di Tian raised his cup and laughed.
"What cultivation base does Yan Feng have? He's at the peak-stage of the immortal emperor realm and has been famous for many years. As for you, although you are wearing a mask, I can tell that you are very young. In the future, let alone Yan Feng, no one in the entire Yan Clan would be able to compare to you. Naturally, it's the same for my Mo Clan as well." Mo Ting laughed. This was already considered an extremely high evaluation, causing many people in the Mo Clan to have looks of shock on their faces.
"Clan leader, please don't tease this junior. Right now, I still need to temper myself and improve myself." Di Tian was still as calm as ever. This caused Mo Ting to smile at him. He then spoke to a young woman beside him, "Junyi, weren't you always interested in the dao of formations? You always despise us old men for being too weak. Now, Di Tian is as young as you. I think his age should be below five hundred years old. Why don't you seek guidance from him?"
Mo Junyi was Mo Ting's daughter. Her beauty and talent were both outstanding and she managed to break through to the immortal emperor realm after cultivating for five hundred years. Such a cultivation speed could be considered extremely outstanding even in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.
In the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, because of the abundance of cultivation resources, as well as the experience of the predecessors, their cultivation arts and innate techniques were all more powerful. Hence, those with good backgrounds would have a much faster cultivation speed compared to those in the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. But even so, those who managed to break through to the immortal emperor realm within a thousand years could still be considered geniuses.
"Let me toast Grandmaster Di Tian." Mo Junyi lifted her wine cup and walked to the side of Di Tian.
"Miss, you can just call me by my name." Di Tian drank his wine together with her as he smiled.
"Sure, you can just call me Junyi." Mo Junyi smiled. "The dao of formations is extremely difficult to cultivate. I'm very interested in formations but I'm also infatuated with the martial path. Hence, I didn't spend too much time and effort on the dao of formations. Di Tian, you are actually so outstanding in both aspects. You are simply a monster."
"The great daos are interlinked, there's no contradiction between the two." Di Tian smiled.
"How do you explain this?" Mo Junyi curiously asked.
"I've been cultivating divine inscriptions since I was young. The dao of inscriptions is the foundation of the great daos of the heavens and earth. From my point of view, all kinds of innate techniques, as well as sinister formations, can be derived from it." Di Tian smiled.
"The principles of cultivation in the world sound simple but how difficult is it to truly comprehend them? Since you are able to link both of them together, you are truly a genius. Let me toast you again." Mo Junyi raised her cup and smiled gently. Di Tian naturally wouldn't reject. The serving girl behind him couldn't help but to twitch her lips when she saw this scene. Sigh, the young master is still too inexperienced.
Mo Junyi was a famous beauty in the central city regions. Regardless of her looks, demeanor, or cultivation base, she was the cream of the crop. The clan leader of the Mo Clan, Mo Ting, wanted her to act personally. How could the young master not be smitten by her?
"Di Tian, now that you are already famous in Lifire City, you must have received invitations from the various powers. I wonder what your plans are in the future?" Elder Mo Fei, who was seated below Mo Ting, probed.
"Elder, do you want to hear the truth?" Di Tian laughed.
"Naturally." Mo Fei started before he nodded.
"In truth, before I joined the Yan Clan, I've already planned to become famous as soon as possible. It's just that the Yan Clan coincidentally offended me at this moment or I wouldn't have come here to challenge them. As for my purpose of becoming famous, it's very simple. Cultivation resources. Everyone knows how difficult it is for unaffiliated cultivators to obtain cultivation resources unless they are bandits. But as a formation grandmaster, if I want sufficient cultivation resources, the best method is undoubtedly to become famous and become a famous formation grandmaster in Lifire City."
Di Tian slowly spoke. Mo Fei's eyes flashed as he continued, "However, given your capabilities, no matter which power you want to join, I'm sure no one would reject you."
"Becoming a vassal of a major power, even if it's a world overlord's power, can it be compared to the resources a famous formation grandmaster has?" Di Tian laughed. "In addition, I've always been used to being free, I'm not willing to be controlled by others."
"I still wanted to recruit you but it seems like there's no hope now." Mo Fei honestly laughed. He naturally understood that Di Tian could tell this as well. There was no need for him to hide anything.
"I appreciate elder's kind intentions. Earlier, you asked me about my future plans. During these few days, I've gotten acquainted with many major powers and there would definitely be many things I need to do in the future. I'll first accumulate enough cultivation resources and slowly improve myself. After that, I'm prepared to focus on weaponsmithing." Di Tian spoke.
"Weaponsmithing." The eyes of many flashed with sharpness, including the Mo Clan Leader, Mo Ting. He stared at Di Tian, "You are also proficient in weaponsmithing?"
"Everything is interlinked. A good weaponsmithing grandmaster first has to be a formation grandmaster. I believe everyone here understands this point better than me." Di Tian laughed. A weaponsmithing grandmaster could convert their strength into cultivation resources. The demand for divine weapons was endless. This was especially so if you can forge powerful divine weapons, you wouldn't need to worry about not being able to sell them.
"Di Tian, if you need any help in the future, feel free to look for my Mo Clan." The Mo Clan Leader, Mo Ting, laughed. A genius like Wu Xiu, a grandmaster in both formations and weaponsmithing, even if Di Tian didn't join their Mo Clan, he was still someone worth befriending. Although he might not be of much use to the Mo Clan now, that might not be the case in the future.
"Many thanks, clan leader." Di Tian smiled and nodded.
"Di Tian, my Mo Clan still has many good items. Why don't you rest here for a few days and read through the records of our Mo Clan?" Mo Ting spoke.
"This …" Although Di Tian came to the Mo Clan for the sake of building a good relationship, the Mo Clan's generous treatment caused him to hesitate.
"I also want to seek guidance from you. Why don't you stay here?" Mo Junyi gently smiled. Di Tian fell silent for a moment before he nodded, "Sure."
The little serving girl behind him twitched her mouth again, revealing a look of disdain as she stared at Di Tian's back.
Just like that, Di Tian stayed in the Mo Clan for a few days. During these few days, the Mo Clan treated him with great hospitality and even allowed him to read through some records regarding the Dao of Formations. Mo Junyi also accompanied him frequently. Such treatment was truly enviable.
After he left, in a courtyard in the Mo Clan.
"Father, is there a need for me to treat an initial-stage immortal emperor like this?" Mo Junyi spoke to Mo Ting, a look of grievance could be seen on her dignified and beautiful face. After accompanying Di Tian for so many days, that fellow actually didn't even remove his mask.
"I asked you to accompany him for a chat, not to seduce him. What's there to feel aggrieved about?" Mo Ting rolled his eyes at his daughter as he smiled. "Just as well, I'll let you interact with the geniuses of the outside world, lest you become arrogant. Let alone, this young man isn't simple at all."
"Even if he really becomes a weaponsmith in the future, how can he shake the position of our Mo Clan?" Mo Junyi spoke.
"You don't understand. He became famous in the Dao of Formations and after that, he entered the path of weaponsmithing. However, his ambitions lie elsewhere." Mo Ting shook his head. He stared at Mo Junyi as he spoke, "Junyi, you have to remember this. You can't judge a person by their appearance. He started from the Dao of Formations and used weaponsmithing as his foundation. In the end, his goal was to establish a power in Lifire City. In less than a hundred years, there would definitely be an extraordinary power in the central city regions of Lifire City."
