Di Tian's eyes gleamed with sharpness. The Lifire Empyrean naturally didn't wish for Qin Wentian to come here.
"Isn't Ye Qianyu a bandit? How did she become a member of the Red Dust Immortal Palace?" Di Tian pretended to be curious as he asked.
"The Red Dust Immortal Palace has world-shaking dances. Among them, the Mortal Dust Descent and Beauty Under the Moonlight are the two most dazzling dances of the Red Dust Immortal Palace. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to see these two dances. If the fairies of the Red Dust Immortal Palace were to perform them, they would be able to topple the hearts of the masses. Back then after the Night Empyrean was killed, no one knew that he had a daughter. Most probably, at that time, Ye Qianyu used her shocking beauty and talent to sneak into the Red Dust Immortal Palace to cultivate." Jialan Yuntian spoke in a low voice.
"Don't underestimate the Dance of the Red Dust Immortal Palace. If this dance is performed with their unique ability, it can bewitch the hearts of people, causing them to fall into a trance. In fact, there's even a movement technique hidden within, it's extremely powerful."
"Yes." Di Tian nodded lightly. The magnificent dance on the platform finally came to a halt. The Red Dust Fairies all knelt on one knee. Ye Qianyu who was in the center also knelt on one knee. Everyone spoke in unison, "The Red Dust Immortal Palace begs the Realmlord for forgiveness."
"Oh? The Lifelong Realmlord laughed as he asked. "What crime is there to be guilty of?
"My Red Dust Immortal Palace once accepted a disciple named Ye Qianyu but I didn't expect her to be the daughter of the great bandit, the Night Empyrean. Also, tens of years ago, the Night Empyrean became a bandit again, causing trouble in the territories governed by the Lifire Palace. Now, I specially let Ye Qianyu perform a dance to beg for Realmlord's forgiveness and punishment." A fairy gently spoke. The Lifelong Realmlord laughed, "I didn't expect that the fairies of the Red Dust Immortal Palace would actually be bandits. This is truly a new matter. I wonder who it is?"
"Junior Ye Qianyu apologizes to Realmlord." Ye Qianyu lowered her head as she spoke.
The Lifelong Realmlord glanced at her and smiled, "I temporarily have no idea what happened. You guys can withdraw first. After the banquet is over, come to the Lifelong Saint Hall and wait for my orders. I will make my decision after I understand the situation."
"Yes, Realmlord." The fairies from the Red Dust Immortal Palace stood up and swiftly retreated.
"It's been a hundred years since we last met. The major powers of my Lifelong City are still as prosperous as ever. During these hundred years, are there any characters who have broken through to the immortal emperor realm?" The Lifelong Realmlord smiled as he stared at everyone.
"Realmlord, Xuanyuan Mo of my Xuanyuan Clan has broken through to the Immortal Emperor Realm." The person who spoke was the Xuanyuan Palace Lord. At the same time, he was also the soul of the Xuanyuan Clan. Because he was busy with the affairs of the Xuanyuan Palace, he did not directly control the Xuanyuan Clan in Lifelong City. However, his position in the Xuanyuan Clan was supreme.
"Grand Elder Xuanyuan broke through?" The Lifelong Realmlord's gaze soon landed on a person as he smiled.
"By the radiance of the Realmlord, I'm only able to break through because of your blessings." Xuanyuan Mo stood up and bowed to the Lifelong Realmlord.
"Stop sticking gold on my face. What does your breakthrough have to do with me?" The Lifelong Realmlord joked. "Sit, there's no need to be so formal."
"Many thanks, Realmlord." Xuanyuan Mo sat down. After that, an expert from the Sword Spirit Sect also spoke, saying that someone in their sect has broken through and stepped into that level. The Lifelong Realmlord stroked his beard and was extremely happy. He then asked, "Where's Xiao Yu? I remember that Xiao Yu from the Sword Spirit Sect has extraordinary talent and is currently the grand governor of Lifelong City. Did I remember wrongly?"
The eyes of everyone froze. The people from the Sword Spirit Sect also fell silent. Originally, it was an extremely glorious matter to be remembered by the Realmlord. But just a few days ago, the news of Xiao Yu's defeat had already circulated.
Xiao Yu's expression stiffened. If it was in the past, he would definitely stand up with pride. But right now, not only did he feel that he had no face, he could naturally sense the peculiar expressions on the faces of those from the Sword Spirit Sect.
"Your subordinate is here." The Realmlord spoke. Xiao Yu eventually still stood up and lowered his head.
"Xiao Yu, why do you look so dispirited?" The Lifelong Realmlord laughed.
"Reporting to Realmlord, a few days ago, a mysterious expert appeared in my Lifelong City. He challenged the four governors of the Northern Region and all four of them were defeated, including Xiao Yu." The sect leader of the Sword Spirit Sect spoke. The eyes of the Lifelong Realmlord flashed but he still smiled, "Which power is he from? Is he here today?"
"I have no idea where he came from. He doesn't seem to be here today as well." The Sword Spirit Sect Leader spoke.
"Interesting." The Lifelong Realmlord laughed. "Seems like many extraordinary emperors have appeared in my Lifelong City during these years. Although I'm the Realmlord, I've left most of my matters to the nine world palaces and the various governors to manage. I don't know much about the matters of the Lifelong Realm. Today, I shall take this opportunity to take a look at the experts of my Lifelong Realm. Same rules, everyone who came today can participate in the emperor-ranked competition. I will heavily reward those who can become the top ten."
The eyes of many emperors gleamed with sharpness. This was a grand banquet that occurred once every hundred years. The Lifelong Realmlord would gather the experts of the nine world palaces and the various major powers here to enjoy the banquet. In truth, this was a gathering for him as the Lifelong Realmlord and his subordinates. At the same time, they could enjoy the delicacies, the dances of beauties and the battles of the martial path.
And to a world that revered martial arts, the battles of the martial path were undoubtedly the most anticipated. This was especially so if they could perform well in front of the Realmlord and would be heavily rewarded. How rare was this opportunity? It would only occur once every hundred years.
They all understood that this was an opportunity. It wasn't as simple as sparring on the surface. The truly outstanding ones would enter the vision of the Lifelong Saint Hall and would be heavily promoted in the future. Right now, there were many people with high positions in the Lifelong Saint Hall, including the nine world palace lords, the thirty-six governors, the four grand governors and many other empyreans in the Lifelong Saint Hall. Many of them had come out from the grand banquet that was held once every hundred years.
There was also no need for the Lifelong Saint Hall to intentionally select geniuses from the younger generations. The frequency of the grand banquet that occurred once every hundred years was considered very high. As long as the geniuses grew up, they wouldn't miss out on this opportunity and would be used by them. Hence, this grand banquet only had emperors competing against each other.
"For those who wish to participate, get up the platform." A figure walked out. This person was none other than the protector of the Lifelong Realmlord. His strength was extraordinary and he was the personal attendant of the Realmlord. Although his authority wasn't as great as the nine world palace lords, he was still a close subject of the Realmlord and his status wasn't inferior at all.
In an instant, numerous figures soared through the air and landed on the platform. All of them were immortal emperors and the vast majority of them were peak-stage immortal emperors. This lineup was extremely terrifying.
The majority of them were from the various major powers of Lifelong City, as well as some from the territories of the nine world palaces. They came here to fight for their futures. If they could enter the top ten, not only would the Realmlord bestow precious rewards upon them, they might even be placed in an important position. Even if they couldn't enter the top ten, as long as they were outstanding enough, they might still be noticed by the Lifelong Saint Hall and be entrusted with heavy responsibilities in the future.
"Is there no one from our Jialan Clan participating?" Jialan Jiangshan glanced at the experts of the Jialan Clan as he asked. "All the major powers have sent out their experts. You guys better not disappoint me."
As the sound of his voice faded, five experts from the Jialan Clan immediately stood up and rushed towards the platform. All of them were peak-stage immortal emperors.
Jialan Qiuyue's beautiful eyes flashed. When she saw the experts from the various powers descending on the platform, she felt a stirring in her heart, wanting to act.
"Qiuyue, your cultivation base is too low. Wait until you break through to the peak-stage of the immortal emperor realm before you go." Jialan Yuntian spoke to Jialan Qiuyue who was beside him. It wasn't so easy to jump levels. This was especially so for those who stepped out. Many of them were already peak-stage immortal emperors, including some of the more dazzling existences in Lifelong City.
Let alone Jialan Qiuyue, even for the five experts from the Jialan Clan, it would already be a miracle if one of them could enter the top ten.
"Yes, grandpa." Jialan Qiuyue's beautiful eyes flashed with disappointment. She glanced at Di Tian beside her and blinked, "Seems like this time around, we can only be spectators."
"Is that so?" Di Tian's black eyes flashed with a strange light. Jialan Qiuyue suddenly spoke, "Oh ya, you still haven't told me your purpose for coming to Lifelong City. Is it also for the sake of spectating the grand banquet this time around?"
"No." Di Tian shook his head.
"Then why?" Jialan Qiuyue was puzzled. This fellow, he was already here but he actually denied it.
"For the sake of participating." Di Tian laughed. After that, he stood up, causing Jialan Qiuyue to start. After that, a strange look flashed on her face as she asked, "Di Tian, you want to participate?"
Jialan Yuntian also turned his gaze to Di Tian as his eyes gleamed with sharpness. Di Tian wanted to participate?
"Mhm, I want to participate." Di Tian nodded.
"Grandmaster Di, your name is famous throughout Lifire City for your weaponsmithing. But this is a competition of the martial path. Also, many of the participants are peak-stage immortal emperors with outstanding combat prowess, already standing at the peak of the immortal emperor realm. Although I don't doubt Grandmaster Di's combat prowess, your cultivation base is still a level lower than mine. Do you want to reconsider?" Jialan Yuntian tactfully spoke. Although this battle would end when the victor is determined, it was inevitable that there would be accidental injuries. Di Tian was only a mid-stage immortal emperor. If he participated, even if he could retreat safely, he would still be injured.
"Di Tian, don't tell me you really want to participate?" Jialan Qiuyue's beautiful eyes stared at Di Tian. Although this fellow's weaponsmithing abilities were extraordinary, he was still a mid-stage immortal emperor after all. In combat, emperor-ranked weapons weren't allowed to be used. How could he compete against those peak-stage geniuses?
"Do you not trust me so much?" Di Tian asked.
"It's not that I don't trust you. Although your weaponsmithing abilities are extraordinary, but …" Jialan Qiuyue's eyes flashed with anxiety, she didn't know how to persuade him.
"I'm going." Di Tian didn't say anything more. With a flash of his silhouette, he soared through the air and appeared on the battle platform.
Di Tian's appearance attracted the attention of those from the Lifire Palace. The eyes of many people flashed. Many major powers from the Lifire Palace came here, they naturally knew of Di Tian's name. The Yan Clan, Liu Clan, Mo Clan, all sent people here.
Back then when Liu Feibai challenged Di Tian, Di Tian rejected. But now, he actually stepped onto the empyrean battle platform. Liu Feibai sat among the people from the Liu Clan, his eyes flashing with uncertainty.
"Is he courting death?" The Violet Moon Fairy who was beside the Lifire Empyrean coldly spoke. She was extremely unhappy that Di Tian was together with the Jialan Clan.
"Let's see what abilities he has." The Lifire Empyrean calmly spoke.
