Lifelong City was very vast. As the center of authority of the Lifelong Realm, one could very well imagine how prosperous and powerful the Lifelong Realmlord was. There was no suspense at all, this was the largest capital city in the Lifelong Realm.
Every hundred years, the Lifelong Realmlord would summon the world palace lords of the nine world palaces to the Lifelong Realm for a gathering. This was also the time when the nine world palaces would pay tribute. The monarchs of the nine world palaces would pay tribute once every ten years, but the world palace lords would pay tribute once every hundred years.
Every hundred years, there would be a grand banquet. Not only would the experts of the nine world palaces gather in Lifelong City, some of the peak powers of the Lifelong Realm would also gather here to enjoy this banquet.
And the time of this banquet would be seven days later.
Because of the upcoming grand banquet, Lifelong City was exceptionally lively during this period of time. All the major powers of the vast Lifelong Realm traveled millions of miles to attend the grand banquet. They didn't want to miss this opportunity. After all, to the people of the Lifelong Realm, being able to attend such a grand banquet was extremely beneficial to their state of mind. In addition, only those experts from the major powers had the qualifications to attend. The weaker characters from the minor powers had no way to travel across the boundless land to come here. They also didn't have enough resources to support them in using the teleportation array.
The various governor manors in Lifelong City also started to get busy. This city was divided into thirty-six regions and the governors of each region were all peak-stage immortal emperors, standing at the absolute peak. As long as they could advance a step further, they would have the qualifications to contend for the position of world palace lord of the nine world palaces.
In addition, there were four grand governors in Lifelong City. Each of them was in charge of the nine regions and their cultivation bases were all extremely terrifying. They were all existences on the same level as the world palace lords and were the protectors of this city. It was impossible for the Realmlord to have the leisure time to manage the matters of Lifelong City. Naturally, the four grand governors would help him share the burden. If the cultivation bases of the four grand governors weren't high enough, how would they be able to intimidate the peak powers of Lifelong City?
To be able to be called a peak power, it meant that there would be people at the palace lord level. These people were in the realm between immortal emperors and world overlords and could be called half-step world overlords. There were also people who referred to them as saints. This meant that from this step onwards, they had truly stepped into the realm of transcendence.
From the Celestial Phenomenon Realm to the Immortal Foundation Realm, one would shed off their mortal body and become an immortal. Regardless of king or emperor, they would all be considered immortals. But if one transcends the immortal emperor realm, they would be above immortals, transforming into saints and could be referred to as sages.
Qin Wentian walked on the bustling streets of Longevity City. At this moment, he was wearing a simple white robe. There was not a speck of dust on his body. He took off his mask and restored his original appearance.
At this moment, the entire space trembled as a terrifying aura gushed over. Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared over, only to see a group of experts from afar. They were clad in silver-colored armor that was thin yet sharp, gleaming with a terrifying light. Beneath their feet, there were many fearsome flying-type demonic beasts. Everywhere they passed by, people would retreat.
"What a heroic army." Qin Wentian silently mused. The weakest among them was at the peak-stage of the immortal king realm, and there were quite a few immortal emperors. Such an army could only be seen in Lifelong City. If it was in a small city, it would definitely be a shocking sight to behold.
This army came to the side of Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian retreated to the side as he inclined his head and stared at the people in the air. At this moment, he only saw a cold and sharp gaze staring at him. This gaze was extremely terrifying, like a bolt of lightning that directly penetrated through Qin Wentian's eyes, as sharp as an unsheathed sword.
Qin Wentian felt a surge of energy gushing over. He furrowed his brows but when he saw the other party's expression turning even colder, he relaxed his brows and didn't mind it.
The other party flew through the air in a grandiose manner, exuding a domineering aura, as though there was nothing in their eyes.
"How arrogant." Qin Wentian stared at the departing back view of the army as he murmured.
"The army of Governor Xiao is naturally arrogant." A person walked over from the side and laughed in a low voice. Qin Wentian turned his gaze over, it was an old man with a cultivation base at the initial-stage of the immortal emperor realm.
"Old sir, the Governor Xiao you are talking about, are you referring to Governor Xiao Yu?" Qin Wentian smiled as he asked.
"Naturally. As the youngest governor of Lifelong City, Xiao Yu is a supreme genius nurtured by a peak power, the Sword Spirit Sect. His arrogance has long been famous throughout Lifelong City and he has the qualifications to be arrogant. Even the Grand Governor would regard him highly. This Xiao Yu has never given face to the Grand Governor before. Even the Realmlord once praised him and the other governors he leads are all as arrogant as him."
The old man laughed, counting the geniuses at the peak of Lifelong City, he seemed to be filled with pride as well.
"But I heard that this Governor Xiao Yu is not only arrogant, he can even be said to be extremely arrogant. Beauties are as common as the clouds around him and back then, he even forced the young miss of a major power to become his concubine." Qin Wentian casually smiled. Evidently, after he came to the Lifelong Realm, he already had a certain level of understanding of the various powers and governors of the Lifelong Realm.
Among the thirty-six governors, the news about Governor Xiao Yu gave him a deeper impression. This was a genius from the Sword Spirit Sect. The Sword Spirit Sect did their best to nurture him and pushed him up to the position of a governor. Clearly, the Sword Spirit Sect's purpose wouldn't stop there. They wanted to nurture a world palace lord of one of the nine world palaces and this was completely possible. All the major powers in the Lifelong Realm had done this before and there were many who succeeded in doing so.
"Governor Xiao is a peak-level genius, even the Realmlord has paid attention to him before. It's only normal for beauties to be as common as the clouds around him. In fact, the various peak powers are even willing to send the young misses of their clans to the governor's manor, even willing to be his concubine. If they were ordinary beauties, Governor Xiao wouldn't even be interested in them. As for that matter in the past, Governor Xiao took the initiative to pursue her. Although there were some conflicts, the other party eventually agreed to it. There's nothing wrong with that." The old man laughed.
"Seems like old man really admires Governor Xiao." Qin Wentian didn't say anything more and smiled.
"Naturally. Before Governor Xiao took over, he challenged the thirty-six governors and only lost three times. At that time, Governor Xiao had just broken through to the peak-stage of the immortal emperor realm. Such a glorious battle record caused a huge commotion back then, shaking Lifelong City. You must know that among the thirty-six governors in Lifelong City, which one of them isn't a peak-stage immortal emperor with peak-level combat prowess?" The old man sincerely praised. "An existence like Governor Xiao, I wonder when would he appear again. Right now, among the nine governors of the northern regions, Governor Xiao is the number one."
"Mhm." Qin Wentian smiled and nodded, "He's truly extraordinary."
After speaking, Qin Wentian turned and left. The old man stared at Qin Wentian's back view and laughed, "Young man, don't be unconvinced. Maybe you feel that you are outstanding but given how vast Lifelong City is, how many people like Governor Xiao are there?"
"I'll remember old sir's words." Qin Wentian laughed.
…
Several days later, a huge commotion occurred in the nine city regions of Lifelong City. Three governors were challenged by the same person and all of them were defeated.
This person was clad in white and was extremely handsome. What was even more terrifying was that his cultivation base was only at the mid-stage of the immortal emperor realm.
When he challenged the first governor, the governor didn't even bother to look at him and sent his vice governor to fight him. However, the vice governor was defeated miserably and was insta-defeated with a single move. After that, the second governor challenged him and was defeated by his opponent with absolute superiority.
This news caused a huge commotion. After that, that mysterious expert continued to challenge the other two governors, and without any suspense, he easily defeated both of them.
For a period of time, a huge wave of commotion arose in the northern regions.
There were so many immortal emperors in Lifelong City. Although peak-stage immortal emperors were powerful, they weren't that rare. And for those who could become governors, they were all existences with extremely high combat prowess. Yet, three governors were actually defeated by a single person. Not only that, this person was also a mid-stage immortal emperor. Such news was given that the Lifelong Banquet was about to commence. How could this not cause a huge commotion?
Many people guessed that the reason why such a powerful and mysterious character suddenly appeared was because he wanted to become famous.
And the purpose of this person's fame was very simple. He wanted to attract the attention of the Realmlord and the Lifelong Saint Hall. If he could gain their favor, he would surely soar up to the clouds.
Just when everyone was immersed in this news, a challenge letter was sent to the governor's manor of the first governor of the northern regions, Xiao Yu's manor.
When this news circulated out, the entire northern regions were shaken.
Only now did they understand that the true target of this mysterious challenger wasn't the three governors. His target was Xiao Yu.
A peak-level genius of the Sword Spirit Sect, Xiao Yu. Back then, he was the same as this mysterious person, he relied on challenges to climb up, gaining the attention of the Lifelong Saint Hall and became a governor.
Right now, there was someone who consecutively defeated the three governors and even challenged Xiao Yu. His purpose was obvious.
For a period of time, the entire northern regions were shaken.
Today, outside the governor's manor Xiao Yu was in, many people gathered. They were all here to spectate this mysterious challenger's challenge.
The gates of the governor's manor were wide open. Many people could see Xiao Yu sitting inside, hugging beauties on his left and right. All of them were peak-grade beauties that exuded a demonic aura, exuding a faint aura of nobility. These were all women of extraordinary birth and were taken as concubines by Xiao Yu. Now that they were beautiful and elegant, many people silently mused that Xiao Yu truly knew how to enjoy life, nurturing his concubines to become so outstanding.
And even now, Xiao Yu still didn't have a wife. He only took concubines. From his point of view, it was still too early for him to reach the pinnacle. In the future, his wife would surely be a peerless beauty.
"This Xiao Yu is truly confident." The people outside couldn't help but to sigh when they saw how much Xiao Yu was enjoying himself.
"Mhm, seems like Xiao Yu is filled with confidence. However, given his strength, although the challenger is mysterious, it would still be hard for him to win against Xiao Yu." The crowd discussed.
At this moment, a white-robed figure flew over from afar. This person soared through the air with his hands behind his back, exuding an extremely carefree aura. His countenance was handsome and his entire being radiated an extraordinary aura. Compared to the supreme genius of the Sword Spirit Sect, Xiao Yu, his aura wasn't in any way inferior at all!
