In the thirteen prefectures, the leaders of the geniuses were all gathered together, standing in thirteen different directions.
As the silhouettes soared through the air, the geniuses of the various prefectures were all divided into groups of a thousand.
The thirteen prefectures were respectively: Eastern Prefecture, Qian Prefecture, Li Prefecture, Cloud Prefecture, Qian Prefecture, Jing Prefecture, Thunder Prefecture, Yue Prefecture, Rock Prefecture, Blazing Sun Prefecture, Supreme Moon Prefecture, Western Desert Prefecture and Underworld Prefecture.
The first nine prefectures were located in the central region while the last four were located in the four directions.
Among them, the Eastern Prefecture, Qian Prefecture and Li Prefecture were the strongest of the thirteen prefectures and were located in the central region of the thirteen prefectures.
As for the second most powerful ones, they weren't the other six prefectures but the four prefectures at the periphery. The Blazing Sun Prefecture, Supreme Moon Prefecture, Western Desert Prefecture and Underworld Prefecture. In fact, there was a saying that the strength of these four prefectures might not be weaker compared to the three most famous prefectures in the central region.
The Eastern Prefecture, Qian Prefecture and Li Prefecture were the central regions where the geniuses from all over the world gathered.
As for the four directions, they were located at the periphery, bordering other immortal empires or supreme powers. The external environment was extremely harsh and they had to be strong to survive. Not only that, the Dongshengxian Gate also had a powerful army stationed there. Hence, these four prefectures were extremely terrifying.
The Blazing Sun Prefecture and Supreme Moon Prefecture were located opposite each other, while the Western Desert Prefecture and Underworld Prefecture were located opposite each other.
The Red Sun Region was scorching hot all year round, and the flames of the sun burned vigorously. The Great Moon Region was the exact opposite. The Western Desert Region was also extremely hot, and its territory was extremely vast. There were many desert cities, and many powerful races had appeared there. The people there also cultivated in all sorts of strange ways. The people of the Underworld Region were known as the Hell Region.
These four prefectures each had their own unique characteristics and were extremely powerful. Only the six prefectures at the periphery, Jing Prefecture, Qian Prefecture, Cloud Prefecture, Thunder Prefecture, Yue Prefecture and Rock Prefecture weren't as unique and their average strength was also relatively weaker.
As for the geniuses of the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures, in terms of fame, the Eastern Prefecture was naturally the most famous. Other than them were the Qian and Li Prefectures. After all, the banquet this time around was held in the Eastern Prefecture and the Qian and Li Prefectures were the three prefectures closest to the Eastern Prefecture.
And it was precisely because of this reason that Gusu Tianqi, Xia Jiufeng, Ye Qianchen and Cang Ao's fame was the greatest, and they were highly regarded by the people of the Eastern Prefecture. But in truth, back then when Ye Zixuan hosted the banquet, he invited geniuses from all thirteen prefectures. The top three geniuses from the four prefectures of the four great prefectures were all similarly unfathomable, giving off an extremely dangerous feeling. Even if the geniuses from the six prefectures could be ranked in the top three, how bad would they be?
As over ten thousand geniuses gathered here, a stifling pressure permeated this entire area. The aura they exuded was simply too strong. Although they were merely at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, with over ten thousand geniuses standing together, they naturally formed a natural pressure field that could crush everything.
Qin Wentian and his two companions arrived, heading straight for the Idlecloud Immortal King's camp. He, Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan surveyed the experts here as their countenances turned heavy and solemn. These were the opponents they would be contending against this time around. There were many extraordinary geniuses among them. Just a single glance was enough to cause a faint pressure to radiate from them. Geniuses were as common as the clouds.
They understood that it didn't mean that only the top three rankers were demon-level characters. The other geniuses weren't necessarily weaker compared to the top three. For example, Qin Wentian, he was only ranked 27th. But could it be that Qin Wentian's talent was only ranked 27th in the Cloud Prefecture? In that case, there was no need for him to participate in the grand banquet this time around. If he was ranked 27th in the Cloud Prefecture, how could he contend for the top three positions in the thirteen prefectures?
"They've arrived, the geniuses of the thirteen prefectures have all arrived." The crowd below all inclined their heads and stared up in the air, feeling shock in their hearts. What a powerful aura, there were so many supreme characters here.
"Gusu Tianqi has also arrived, standing in the direction of the Eastern Prefecture. Although he isn't standing at the forefront and seems to be very low-profile, I could still see him with a single glance." Someone pointed to a certain direction. Over there, there was a young man who exuded no aura at all. Just by casually standing there, it was as though he was the most illustrious existence in the crowd. Nobody could obstruct the radiance radiating from him. That aura of an innate immortal king seemed to be formed naturally, as though he was destined to be an innate immortal king. There was a formless halo around him.
There were some people who were already destined from the moment they were born. They would definitely become a character whose name would shake the world. Gusu Tianqi, the sole descendant of nine generations, was precisely such a character. Those around him didn't dare to get too close to him, as their radiance was blocked by him. It was as though there was a unique aura radiating from Gusu Tianqi, causing others to look up to him in admiration.
Qin Wentian also noticed Gusu Tianqi who was standing among the crowd of the Eastern Prefecture. The contours of his face could be clearly seen, and he looked very young. His handsome countenance was as calm as still water, with no ripples at all. His forehead was plump, and the space between his brows were as sharp as a blade. That pair of deep black eyes gleamed with a terrifying light, and even when they weren't focused, they still shone with a terrifying light.
Other than Gusu Tianqi, there was another person among the crowd of the Eastern Prefecture that attracted Qin Wentian's attention. This person was tall and skinny, exuding an extraordinary aura. His domineering eyes stared at Gusu Tianqi, as though he wanted to clash head-on with him. This person was none other than the second ranker of the Eastern Prefecture, Xia Jiufeng.
"So many demon-level geniuses." Beside him, Jun Mengchen mumbled. Qin Wentian and Zi Qingxuan both nodded their heads. Other than these two from the Eastern Prefecture, there were also many other outstanding characters.
"That person is so strange, he's the number one ranker of the Blazing Sun Prefecture. His body seems to be surrounded by numerous blazing suns, radiating a fearsome halo of the sun. Just a single glance at him made me feel a wave of heat, as though I was about to be ignited. If I fought against him, wouldn't that be even more terrifying?" Below, the crowd sighed in admiration as they stared in the direction of the Blazing Sun Prefecture.
Not only for the number one ranker, there were also many experts from the Blazing Sun Prefecture who had a halo of their own.
"The people from the Supreme Moon Prefecture are the exact opposite. They give off an extremely cold and gloomy feeling."
"Look at the people from the Underworld Prefecture. Those people are so ugly and have strange shapes. It's too terrifying, it's like they really walked out from the netherworld."
"The Underworld Prefecture and Western Desert Prefecture also have gigantic giants. What race are they? There are also monks, it's extremely rare to see monk cultivators. However, there are quite a few in the Western Desert Prefecture. The Western Desert Prefecture is located in a desolate land with an extremely vile environment. There are even chaotic flows of energy from the heavens, easily destroying a city. Even if it's built up, it could be destroyed in a single night. Hence, the number of cities in the Western Desert Prefecture is the lowest. Many places are deserts and the races are the most chaotic.
"That's true. The four prefectures are all very powerful. Their territories are connected to many particle worlds. Didn't the Deepflame Immortal King frequently set up camp in the Underworld Prefecture?"
There were all sorts of voices below. Qin Wentian's perception was extremely powerful and he would occasionally be able to hear the voices. He couldn't help but to sigh in admiration at how vast and mysterious the immortal realms were. Even in the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures, there were so many things he didn't know about. After entering the immortal realms, he directly entered the Cloud Prefecture. The Cloud Prefecture in the central region seemed to be one of the more peaceful prefectures. In the entire thirteen prefectures, there were many unimaginable races and strange lands that he had yet to truly come into contact with.
"Move out." At this moment, the governor of the Eastern Prefecture commanded. Instantly, the one thousand geniuses of the Eastern Prefecture all moved out.
"Move out."
"Move out …"
The governors of the thirteen prefectures all commanded. All the geniuses in this space moved out, heading in the direction of the Dongshengxian Gate.
Over ten thousand experts soared through the air. They were able to overlook this ancient Emperor City. They couldn't see the end of this incomparably powerful Emperor City, but they could see a statue in the distance that was so tall that it reached the heavens.
This statue truly towered up into the heavens. Even if one stood extremely far away, they would still be able to see its existence. This was the tallest and most majestic statue in the entire Eastern Immortal City, or even the entire Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures. The other statues weren't allowed to surpass the size of this statue because the one carved in it was the hegemon of the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures, the Eastern Sage Heaven Emperor.
"Do you see that statue? How majestic. That must be his Majesty. This statue is located at the highest point of the Dongshengxian Gate, it's a symbol of unparalleled status." Someone spoke. "Anyone who sees this statue should feel respect and reverence. This is his Majesty, the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor. If you are disrespectful or profane the statue of his Majesty, his Majesty would be able to sense it."
"Is it really so mystical?" Someone questioned.
"That's an immortal emperor. That level of cultivation isn't something we can imagine. A single thought of theirs can connect the heavens and earth, creating laws with a wave of their hands. How terrifying is that? We basically have no way to touch it. In any case, when you see the statue of his Majesty, you must be respectful. If not, even if you soar up to the heavens one day, if his Majesty knows that you were disrespectful to him before, although his Majesty wouldn't do anything to you given his status, he definitely wouldn't attach any importance to you."
The group of people chatted as they walked. Finally, they got closer and closer to the towering statue. When they were a thousand miles away from it, they had already arrived outside the Dongshengxian Gate. Numerous immortal-arched gates, immortal stairways and the statues of the four paragons of the Dongshengxian Gate could be seen. Even the governors of the thirteen prefectures all landed on the ground and bowed to the statues of the four paragons.
The experts of the various prefectures also landed on the ground. After which, many imitated them and bowed to the four paragons.
The four paragons of the Dongshengxian Gate were the founders of the Dongshengxian Gate. They were the four paragons who followed the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor when he conquered the world. They were so powerful that it was inconceivable and now, they no longer appeared in public. All of them were pursuing the immortal emperor realm and their strength had already reached an extreme, surpassing countless immortal kings. There were also rumors that one of the four paragons had already stepped into the immortal emperor realm.
The four paragons were the founders of the Dongshengxian Gate, they were the guardians of the Dongshengxian Gate. Who would dare to be disrespectful?
In the thirteen prefectures, the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor was a god while the four paragons were war generals. Even for supremely powerful existences like the Deepflame Immortal King, there was still a huge disparity between them and the four paragons!
After paying their respects to the four paragons, the thirteen immortal kings led the geniuses of the various prefectures up the stairway. After which, a thunderous bell chime rang out. Up ahead, the experts of the Dongshengxian Gate had smiles on their faces as they welcomed the geniuses of the thirteen prefectures!
