"Qianbian, after so many years, your improvement truly isn't small. I have no way to deal with you, but you are the same as well." The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor's imposing voice rang out. The two of them battled in the air, both of them seemed to be equally matched.
"However, if it's just you alone, you still don't have the qualifications to demand the six prefectures from me. My Dongshengxian Gate doesn't only have a single immortal emperor."
As the sound of his voice rang out, everyone in the Eastern Immortal City felt their hearts trembling. There was actually another immortal emperor in the Dongshengxian Gate. There was a high possibility that this immortal emperor was one of the four paragons who followed the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor back then.
"I naturally already know this point. Feel it carefully again." The Emperor Qianbian spoke. As the sound of his voice faded, a moment of silence filled the air. After that, the voice of the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor rang out again, "Good, you truly came prepared. It's just that even if I hand over the six prefectures to you, how can your subordinates contend against my Eastern Sage Army? There's one point you should be very clear about. The moment you officially establish your power in the six prefectures, it would mean that you are declaring war against my Dongshengxian Gate. My Eastern Sage Army will launch an attack anytime."
"The moment you establish your power, my Eastern Sage Army would immediately annihilate you. Other than harming the weak, what's the point of doing so? I've governed the thirteen prefectures for so many years, it's not something that your hastily established power can contend against. Also, there's no other power that would dare to submit to you." The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor spoke.
Wars in the immortal realms naturally had their own rules. If the strength of both parties wasn't equal, there's no doubt that the stronger one would dominate the thirteen prefectures. For example, the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor was the strongest expert in the thirteen prefectures. Although the other powers didn't belong to the Dongshengxian Gate, they had to acknowledge the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor as the ruler of the thirteen prefectures.
If the strength of both parties were equal, for example, the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor and the Emperor Of Qianbian. In that case, if the Emperor Of Qianbian had the intention to establish his own territory in the thirteen prefectures, he would have the qualifications to negotiate with the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor. Unless the Dongshengxian Gate had the strength to defeat the Emperor Of Qianbian and expel him, they would have to negotiate with the Emperor Of Qianbian. If not, if the Emperor Of Qianbian was angered, the consequences would be terrifying.
After the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor agreed to the division of territories, if the Emperor Of Qianbian established his own power, it meant that he would be able to stand against the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor. In that case, the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor could command the Eastern Sage Army to sweep through the territories established by the Emperor Of Qianbian. In addition, as long as they didn't attack the headquarters of the Emperor Of Qianbian, the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor wouldn't be allowed to interfere in the battles between the powers below him.
If it was a clash between two mature powers, it would be the same as well. For example, if the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor wanted to expand his territory and attack the territories of other immortal emperors, it would all be done by his subordinates. Only at the very end would the immortal emperors clash with each other. If not, if the immortal emperors directly started to slaughter the lower echelons of their opponents, that would be a calamity. The entire immortal realms would be plunged into misery and suffering, no power would be able to survive.
This was the rule, the hidden rule of the entire immortal realms. Once one side took the initiative to break this rule, it would be very easy for a feud to form. Ordinary people wouldn't be willing to see such a situation.
"There's no need for you to worry about this." The Emperor Of Qianbian calmly spoke.
"Qianbian, if you don't establish your own power after occupying the six prefectures, there's no meaning in that. But if you came here purely to embarrass me for what happened in the past, aren't you lacking in magnanimity?" The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor coldly snorted.
"Let's set the time limit of a hundred years. Within a hundred years, if the power I establish can't survive your Eastern Sage Army, I, the Emperor Of Qianbian, will naturally give up on the six prefectures and return them to you. Not only that, I won't be able to enter the thirteen prefectures." The Emperor Of Qianbian spoke. Since this was a negotiation, there was a need for both sides to reach an agreement.
Both of them were immortal emperors with extraordinary temperaments. They wouldn't do meaningless things.
"Only a hundred years?" The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor asked.
"A hundred years." The Emperor Of Qianbian replied. The two of them conversed in the air, like two old friends having a heart-to-heart chat. There was no anger at all, but each and every word they spoke stirred the hearts of the experts in the Eastern Immortal City. This negotiation would directly affect the situation of the thirteen prefectures for the next hundred years.
In addition, from the tone of the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor, it seemed that he truly had the intention of handing over the six prefectures to the Emperor Of Qianbian for a hundred years.
There was no more sound in the air. The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor seemed to be contemplating. A hundred years to him was a very short period of time, he might just need to enter closed-door seclusion a few times. The request of the Emperor Of Qianbian wasn't too overboard.
After all, the Emperor Of Qianbian fought to a draw against him. In that case, the Emperor Of Qianbian had the qualifications to negotiate with him about the division of territories. This was the authority of a peak-level expert.
"I promise you that the six prefectures of the western regions, namely the Cloud Prefecture, Thunder Prefecture, Rock Prefecture, Yue Prefecture, Supreme Moon Prefecture and Western Desert Prefecture, will be given to you for a hundred years. During this period of time, my Eastern Sage Army will launch a punitive expedition against the powers you established. Within three months, I will force the Dongshengxian Gate to retreat from the six prefectures. After three months, the six prefectures of the western regions will no longer have a shadow of my Dongshengxian Gate. As for how you want to govern them, that's up to you."
The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor spoke. As the sound of his voice faded, the entire Eastern Immortal City turned silent.
The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor actually really gave the Emperor Of Qianbian the authority to govern the six prefectures of the western regions for a hundred years.
Such boldness was simply too shocking.
Although to peak-level experts, the territory of their sects was secondary and their personal strength was everything, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor treated the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures as his base, allowing him to flourish and flourish. Now that he was willing to hand over the six prefectures with a single sentence, it was already sufficient to cause the hearts of people to tremble.
Qin Wentian who was below was extremely astonished. He didn't expect that the contest of territories would be so simple and peaceful. Just a single battle and a few sentences, the six prefectures were given away. However, this made Qin Wentian deeply feel the prestige and authority of a peak-level expert. If the Emperor Of Qianbian didn't have the strength to fight against the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to propose a division of territories. That would simply be courting death.
"Everything is based on strength." Qin Wentian silently mused.
In the air, two silhouettes descended. The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor swept his gaze over the experts at the immortal banquet as he spoke, "Earlier I mentioned the six prefectures. All prefectures lords, prepare to evacuate immediately and temporarily relocate to the Eastern Prefecture."
"Yes, your Majesty." The immortal kings of the six prefectures bowed as they acknowledged the order, yet their hearts were filled with emotions.
This was especially so for the Idlecloud Immortal King of the Cloud Prefecture. He had established his roots in the Cloud Prefecture for many years and his power was all located there. This time around, he came to participate in the immortal banquet. Three geniuses of the Cloud Prefecture entered the top ten and two of them entered the top three. How glorious was this? But the scenes that happened next caused him to be dumbstruck. Right now, even the position of prefecture king was temporarily stripped away and they had to return to the Dongshengxian Gate to listen to orders.
This couldn't help but to make the Idlecloud Immortal King sigh. Truly, the affairs of the world are unpredictable, it's hard to predict.
The Idlecloud Immortal King turned his gaze in the direction of Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen. These two supreme geniuses actually took the Emperor Qianbian as their master. In the future, how dazzling would they be? Most probably, it was only a matter of time before they became immortal kings.
"The Emperor Qianbian will receive all of you. However, he isn't someone from the Heavenly Talisman Realm. After this, there will be other senior brothers from the Heavenly Talisman Realm who will receive you. Hence, the matters of the Heavenly Talisman Realm must not be revealed to the Emperor Qianbian." Bai Wuya's voice directly rang out in the minds of Qin Wentian and the others. This voice once again caused the hearts of Qin Wentian and the others to tremble violently as a look of astonishment appeared on their faces.
The Emperor Qianbian wasn't someone from the Heavenly Talisman Realm?
At this moment, the Emperor Qianbian who was in his human form appeared in the air above them. There was no trace of the aura of the Heavenly Talisman Realm at all. He really wasn't …
Qin Wentian was at a loss. Could it be that his conjectures about the Heavenly Talisman Realm were all wrong?
How did the Heavenly Talisman Realm get the Emperor Qianbian to come and receive them?
However, the hearts of these people were all extraordinary characters. Their expressions instantly returned to normal.
At this moment, the Emperor Qianbian appeared before them. He stared at the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor and spoke, "Dongsheng Heaven Emperor, I'm bringing them away."
"Since you came personally, you can naturally bring them away." The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor had a carefree smile on his face. It was like nothing he had experienced before could shake his state of heart. This caused Qin Wentian to have a whole new level of respect for him. He knew that he had still underestimated immortal emperors. For those who could reach this level, their state of heart must have already reached a transcendent level.
"Brother Dongsheng, I look forward to our next battle." The Emperor Qianbian smiled. "Farewell."
"I'm filled with anticipation as well." The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor calmly spoke. After that, a powerful surge of energy enveloped Qin Wentian and the other two. A bright light flashed as the Emperor Qianbian brought Qin Wentian, Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan away. He didn't bring Mo Wen along as the three of them had already been exposed as a group. As for Mo Wen, no one knew about it.
After they left, the atmosphere at the immortal banquet turned silent. In the end, the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor broke the silence as he spoke, "Let's continue."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone nodded. However, for the upcoming immortal banquet, the hearts of the spectators were already somewhat absent-minded. The Eastern Sage Immortal Sect officially started to recruit disciples. A few rejected, but the majority of them agreed to join the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. In fact, Mo Wen was one of them. She also joined the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, and there were quite a few immortal kings who regarded her highly.
Bai Wuya quietly watched on. The Heavenly Talisman Realm had its own rules, it was impossible for people to join other powers. But Mo Wen chose to do so because if this was a mission permitted by the Heavenly Talisman Realm, the rules could naturally be broken.
Mo Wen's mission was to enter the Dongshengxian Gate. Qin Wentian who had already left had no idea about this.
At this moment, a voice rang out in Qin Wentian's mind. This was a voice transmitted to him by Princess Liuli before he left.
This voice was telling Qin Wentian news regarding Qing'Er!
"City of Ancient Emperors, where is that?" Qin Wentian mumbled. Princess Liuli told him that Qing'Er was in the City of Ancient Emperors.
Emperor Qianbian's eyes flashed with a dazzling light when he heard Qin Wentian's words. He stared at this young man who obtained the first rank in the immortal banquet at the Dongshengxian Gate. A smile appeared on his face as he spoke, "Cultivate well after you return. The people in the City of Ancient Emperors are all monsters like you!"
