Lifelong City grew more and more lively. As the date of the grand banquet approached, the commotion caused by Qin Wentian's domineering defeat of Xiao Yu gradually faded away. More and more people started to discuss about the grand banquet, wondering which characters would stand out.
Naturally, there were also many people who guessed that the mysterious expert who defeated Xiao Yu would appear during the grand banquet. After all, the reason he challenged Xiao Yu was because he wanted to become famous and attract the attention of the Lifelong Saint Hall. In fact, he wanted the Realmlord to pay attention to him.
Xiao Yu was a genius that the Realmlord had paid attention to before. How glorious was that? But now that he was defeated, the Realmlord might have heard of this matter.
The date of the grand banquet finally arrived. In the Jialan Clan, at the location where the experts from Jialan Yuntian's faction were gathered, Jialan Yuntian was somewhat taken aback when he saw the masked young man before him. "Grandmaster Di, why did you come from Lifire City?"
"A few days ago, I encountered an urgent matter and rushed back to Lifire City. However, the consumption of my energy was too great and I could only make a trip to the Jialan Clan. I, Di, am filled with gratitude for troubling the Jialan Clan to send me here." Di Tian smiled. How would Jialan Yuntian know that the two people who appeared were his true self and his avatar? If he really wanted to fuss, the person in front of him right now was the real Di Tian.
"When did you become so polite? Back then, a certain someone was extremely dishonest." Jialan Qiuyue who was beside Jialan Yuntian had a bright smile in her eyes as she stared at Qin Wentian.
An awkward look flashed through Di Tian's eyes. Back then when his true self teased Jialan Qiuyue, the effects were clear to see. Right now, Jialan Qiuyue no longer had any wariness in her heart towards him. Most probably, she had already treated him as one of her own.
"Fairy Qiuyue, I truly couldn't stand those people back then. That's why I offended them. Please don't bear a grudge against me." Di Tian laughed.
"Hmph, that would depend on Grandmaster Di's performance in the future." Jialan Qiuyue smiled. She who was usually dignified and noble actually had a smile on her face right now, exuding a sense of charm. Her beautiful eyes stared at Di Tian, silently musing that this fellow actually told her not to hold a grudge against him. Back then, Di Tian was truly audacious.
Jialan Yuntian, who was at the side, had a deep smile on his face when he heard the conversation between the two of them. He regarded Di Tian very highly as well. This genius weaponsmith was extraordinary and although he managed to gain Di Tian's friendship, it wasn't that solid after all. Once there was a special situation, it would easily break apart. But if Di Tian was together with Jialan Qiuyue, the situation would be different.
The most important thing was that Jialan Qiuyue seemed to have a favorable impression of Di Tian. In addition to Di Tian's talent in weaponsmithing as well as the tip of the iceberg he displayed when facing the attacks from the Sword Spirit Sect, Jialan Yuntian felt that Di Tian was extraordinary. If they could really be together, Jialan Yuntian would definitely support it.
"Let's go, Grandmaster Di is also here for this banquet. Let's move out." Jialan Yuntian spoke.
"Grandpa, are we heading there by ourselves?" Jialan Qiuyue asked.
"Let's meet up with your second grandpa and head there together. Although there are some conflicts between us, the Jialan Clan is united as one to the outside world. There mustn't be any divisions. If not, given how many peak powers there are in Lifelong City, how can our Jialan Clan continue to grow? If your second grandpa really reaches a certain height, even if he wants my position as the clan leader, I have no qualms about giving it to him." Jialan Yuntian spoke, his words filled with resolution.
Jialan Qiuyue wanted to say something but she didn't say anything. She only nodded her head lightly. Jialan Yuntian gathered everyone and met up with Jialan Yunhai and the others.
Upon seeing Di Tian's appearance, Jialan Skywolf's expression instantly turned extremely unsightly. Back then, he kept mocking Qin Wentian, wanting to use him to make things difficult for Jialan Yuntian and the others. But after that, Qin Wentian took out an emperor-ranked weapon and stunned the people from the Xuanyuan Clan, causing them to be extremely polite to him. After that, the soul attacks of the experts from the Sword Spirit Sect couldn't do anything to Qin Wentian and even suffered a backlash.
"Grandmaster Di." Jialan Yunhai saw Di Tian appearing. He walked over and nodded to him, "This junior has offended you in the past. I hope Grandmaster Di can forgive me."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Jialan Skywolf, "Come over and apologize to Grandmaster Di."
Jialan Skywolf's countenance instantly turned pale. He stared at his grandfather and upon seeing the stern look in Jialan Yunhai's eyes, he walked towards Di Tian and spoke, "Grandmaster Di, I hope Grandmaster Di can forgive me if I offended you in the past."
Di Tian's expression was calm when he saw the expressions of the two of them. This Jialan Yunhai was truly not an ordinary character. He glanced at Jialan Skywolf as he calmly spoke, "Don't worry about it. It's just that the Jialan Clan is an empyrean power and I, Di, have always respected them. But after what I saw back then, I was truly disappointed."
"Although the Jialan Clan is extraordinary, there are too many major powers in Lifelong City. For the sake of the Jialan Clan's strength, there are some things I have no choice but to do. I've let Grandmaster Di see a joke." Jialan Yunhai smiled at Di Tian. "If I knew that Qiuyue is such a good match, I wouldn't have acted so smart."
Although Jialan Qiuyue didn't have any favorable impression of Jialan Yunhai, she couldn't help but blush when she heard this. Clearly, the incident back then caused Jialan Yunhai and the others to misunderstand. Jialan Yuntian and the others didn't explain anything, hence Jialan Yunhai said this. She stealthily glanced at Di Tian, her beautiful eyes were filled with shyness.
When Di Tian saw this scene, how could he not understand that he was misunderstood? Since Jialan Yuntian and the others didn't explain anything, he didn't say anything either. He only smiled and nodded.
"Big brother, let's move out." Jialan Yunhai spoke to Jialan Yuntian. The experts of the Jialan Clan gathered together and soared into the air, flying towards the direction of the Lifelong Saint Hall.
In the air, more and more experts soared into the air. Many of them were flying towards the center of Lifelong City, in the direction of the Lifelong Saint Hall.
"As expected of the golden age of the Lifelong Realm. This time around, I wonder how many heroes would appear." As they neared the Lifelong Saint Hall, more and more experts appeared. There were even some young immortal emperors who were extremely transcendent, extremely terrifying.
"Yeah, the Lifelong Realm is boundlessly vast, geniuses are as common as the clouds. Let's talk about the number one governor of our northern city regions, Xiao Yu, he is an extraordinary character, a supreme genius. Back then, he was singled out by the Realmlord but just a few days ago, he was defeated by a mysterious mid-stage immortal emperor, causing a huge commotion in the northern city regions. Most probably, this person is also here for the grand banquet this time around." Jialan Yunhai spoke.
"Although I don't know who that person is, he is definitely a genius of his generation. Qiuyue, his cultivation base is the same as yours. You still have to work hard." Jialan Yuntian spoke to Jialan Qiuyue, his gaze filled with anticipation. Although Jialan Qiuyue's talent was very good, there was still a gap between her and Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu was a famous character in Lifelong City but even someone like him was defeated by someone who jumped levels to jump levels. From this, one could very well imagine how many geniuses there were in the Lifelong Realm.
"Mhm." Jialan Qiuyue seriously nodded her head. She had also heard of that battle. The person who defeated Xiao Yu was rumored to be a god-like existence. She glanced at Di Tian beside her and smiled, "Di Tian, that mysterious person also has the same cultivation base as you and is rumored to be extraordinarily handsome. What do you think of him?"
"Eh …" Di Tian didn't know how to reply. Should he praise him or belittle him?
Jialan Qiuyue thought that Di Tian was embarrassed and didn't know how to reply. She couldn't help but to smile lightly.
…
The Lifelong Saint Hall, the place where the Lifelong Realmlord governed. It was a majestic city that stood high up in the sky.
Outside the Lifelong Saint Hall, there was a flight of stairs that was ten thousand meters tall. There was a statue of the Lifelong Realmlord carved on it and countless people would come here frequently, bowing to the statue as though it was a divinity.
As the overlord of a world, the Lifelong Realmlord had supreme authority in the Lifelong Realm. He had invincible strength and was the target of respect for countless people. In this world that revered the martial path, the Lifelong Realmlord was the god of this world.
Today, at the foot of the flight of stairs leading up to the Lifelong Saint Hall, countless people gathered. No one stood in the air, everyone who came here had to descend from the air and walk. They could only stare up at the Lifelong Saint Hall, no one dared to look down on this majestic city. That would be a form of disrespect to the Lifelong Realmlord.
Outside the Lifelong Saint Hall, there were ten towering platforms constructed. Each of them was 90,000 meters tall and there were thrones at the peak, exuding incomparable nobility. These were the places where the world palace lords would sit when they came to pay their respects to the Lifelong Saint Hall. These towering platforms were the thrones of the world palace lords, displaying the lofty status of the nine world palaces.
In the central area, there was also an independent towering platform that was extremely vast. The platform could easily accommodate tens of thousands of people, resembling a gigantic training ground.
It was unknown how many people were gathered below the towering platforms. All of them had fanatical looks in their eyes as they stared ahead. Today, they would have the chance to personally witness the peak characters of the Lifelong Realm. Those supreme characters who could dominate an entire region were all gathered here.
The people of the Jialan Clan also arrived. Standing below, Jialan Qiuyue's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light. She spoke in a low voice, "Were these towering platforms constructed on a temporary basis?"
"Naturally, they wouldn't exist normally and would only be constructed once every hundred years. However, to empyreans, this isn't difficult at all." Jialan Yuntian spoke. Di Tian's eyes flashed as he silently mused at how extravagant this was. However, Jialan Yuntian's words were also right. There were some people who were proficient in special attributes and could easily construct these towering platforms. Clearly, the Lifelong Saint Hall didn't lack such characters.
"The people from the Xuanyuan Clan have arrived." Jialan Yunhai spoke. In a certain direction, many experts from the Xuanyuan Clan were gathered together, clustered around a single person. Xuanyuan Hao, who Qin Wentian met before in the Jialan Clan, was also in the crowd. However, he wasn't conspicuous and was merely a character beside him. The person being clustered around was none other than the Xuanyuan Empyrean, one of the nine world palace lords.
When he arrived, his gaze swept through the crowd as a look of disdain could be seen in his eyes. After that, he turned his gaze to the statue of the Lifelong Realmlord and bowed. Although he was a world palace lord, his actions were filled with incomparable sincerity, like he was paying respect to a god.
Although the difference between a world palace lord and a Realmlord was only a single step, only characters like them could understand how vast the disparity was!
