In Princess Changping's residence, Qin Wentian stared at the invitation in his hand as he spoke in a low voice, "The Qi King Manor!"
Qing'er walked to his side and spoke, "The crown prince of the Qi King Manor, Yang An, came back from the City of Ancient Emperors many years ago. It's said that he was ranked # 5 on the Immortal Ascension Rankings back then and has been in closed-door seclusion ever since, trying to break through to immortal-foundation. Now, he must be even stronger than before.
Let me accompany you. "" I'll go by myself. The Immortal Emperor told the Cloud King not to interfere with the juniors. In the royal palace, those people from the nobility manor wouldn't dare to do anything to me. The invitation didn't include you, princess. If I bring you along, wouldn't others laugh at me? "Qin Wentian smiled," Don't worry, I can handle it. "
Qing`er stared at Qin Wentian's face as she nodded her head lightly. "Okay. If they go overboard, they can return here immediately."
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded. He held onto Qing'er's dainty hand. Qing'er's hand trembled slightly, but she didn't struggle and allowed him to hold her hand.
"I'm someone who is going to marry a princess of an immortal empire. How can I allow others to look down on me?" Qin Wentian joked.
At noon, the Qi King Manor in the royal palace was extremely lively. Many members of the nobility clan had received invitations and came over. They either rode on immortal weapons or rode on greater demons, exuding an imposing aura.
Outside the Qi King Manor, the roars of many greater demons could be heard. Many of these greater demons were pure-blooded mutated beasts that had the same cultivation bases as their masters. They had grown up together with them.
The Qi King was a character who had been conferred the title of King in the immortal empire. He was extremely powerful and was a peak-stage immortal king expert. The Qi King Manor also had an extraordinary status in the royal palace. Now that the crown prince of the Qi King Manor, Yang An, had sent out an invitation to deal with Qin Wentian, the number of people attending the banquet was extremely high.
Outside the manor, the young geniuses discussed. One of them asked, "Is Qin Wentian here yet?"
"I don't think he's here yet. I wonder if he'll attend the banquet," another person replied.
"Hmph, perhaps he will come to the banquet, but I'm afraid he will bring Princess Qing 'er with him." The person who spoke earlier coldly snorted. At this moment, several voices rang out. The gazes of the crowd turned to a certain direction, including the two who spoke earlier.
"It's Qin Wentian."
"Is he Qin Wentian? It seems that he is just so-so. What kind of useless demonic beast is this mount? He's so chubby. He actually has a pet? "
Everyone spoke. The person Qin Wentian sat down on was Little Rascal. He didn't transform, he only caused his body to grow larger. His chubby body exuded a sense of cuteness, but that was only in the eyes of a daughter. In such a situation, it was somewhat comical.
The demonic pet's eyes were huge and flickered continuously as it looked around. Looking at the surrounding Greater Demons, its chubby body swaggered forward with bright eyes.
"Brother Qin, this demonic beast of yours is so adorable." There was a female beside Qin Wentian. The demonic beast she was sitting on was a ferocious bird with fiery red wings. Its eyes gleamed with a terrifying light. This was a Crimsonblood Roc, a descendant of the great roc, possessing the pure bloodline of the great roc.
"This pet is so chubby, can I borrow it to play with it for a few days?" Another young man laughed. He was sitting on a ferocious white tiger that exuded a fearsome baleful aura. It stared at Little Rascal and let out a low roar.
Several young men surrounded Qin Wentian. The greater demons they were sitting on kept roaring as a terrifying demonic might engulfed this entire space.
"Would this little fellow be afraid? Hahaha …" Everyone laughed, intentionally using their demonic beasts to get closer to Little Rascal.
"Little Rascal, you are being looked down upon by others." Qin Wentian laughed as he patted Little Rascal on its head.
Little Rascal's eyes shone with a bright light, not showing any signs of fear at all. It then spoke in a baby voice, "Fight with them, that way I can eat their demonic beasts. There are so many greater demons here, they would surely be delicious."
"Eh …" Everyone was stunned when they heard Little Rascal's words. After which, they all started laughing uproariously.
"Brother Qin, this pet of yours hasn't weaned yet, right?"
"Haha, this pet is simply too adorable, it doesn't even know it's afraid. It probably doesn't know that these demonic beasts can swallow it whole in a single gulp." Everyone laughed, feeling that this was extremely interesting.
"Ai, Little Rascal doesn't know any better. Brothers, please don't blame it." Qin Wentian clasped his fists to the crowd. He sat on Little Rascal's back and rubbed its head, "Little Rascal, seems like I have to nourish you later. Only then would you be able to grow up faster."
"Go to hell …" Little Rascal cursed in a low voice, glaring hatefully at the demonic beasts in the surroundings. Although these greater demons were mounts, they were all capable of understanding human emotions. All of them had fiendish expressions on their faces as they stared at Little Rascal, as though they were intentionally trying to scare it.
"Don't scare me, this baobao isn't afraid of you all." Little Rascal pointed its claws at the demonic beasts as it arrogantly inclined its head. Those greater demons all had expressions of interest on their faces, what an interesting fellow.
The group of them entered the Qi King Manor. A guard led them in and Qin Wentian observed the people in the surroundings. The majority of these people were at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, and there were also a few immortal-foundation experts among them. They were all extremely young immortal-foundation characters with extraordinary talent.
A banquet was already prepared in the Qi King Manor. Many people had already arrived and were seated. Qin Wentian turned his gaze to the person in the lead. That person had a jade-like countenance and radiated vitality. His eyes gleamed with sharpness, and although his aura was retracted, Qin Wentian could still sense an extraordinary aura from him. It was as though he had already surpassed the Celestial Phenomenon Realm and stepped into immortal-foundation.
"The crown prince of the Qi King entered closed-door seclusion after exiting the City of Ancient Emperors. Seems like he has already established his immortal-foundation." Qin Wentian silently mused.
Many people could sense the aura exuding from the crown prince of the Qi King, Yang An. Someone asked, "The crown prince has already become an immortal?"
"That's right, the crown prince of the Qi King, Yang An, has already broken through to immortal-foundation. Our Evergreen Kingdom has yet another character who became an immortal within a hundred years of age." Someone replied.
"Congrats, congrats."
"The crown prince is awesome. If he had stayed in the City of Ancient Emperors back then, he would definitely be ranked number one in the Immortal Ascension Rankings." Everyone congratulated him, and there were even some who felt jealousy in their hearts. Immortal-Foundation was a watershed, and becoming an immortal within a hundred years of age was another hurdle. Yang An managed to become an immortal within a hundred years of age, and he would definitely be highly regarded.
Someone glanced at Qin Wentian. Seems like Yang An didn't intentionally come out of seclusion for Qin Wentian. It was just a coincidence. He had already broken through to immortal-foundation and coincidentally met Qin Wentian. Hence, he decided to set up this banquet.
"Everyone is too polite. Quickly, let's enter the banquet." Yang An smiled as everyone took their seats. Qin Wentian casually found a seat at the back and sat down, appearing extremely carefree. Since he was already here, he might as well take things as they come. No matter what Yang An's cultivation base was, it had nothing to do with him. Since Yang An invited him, he would naturally come and enjoy the food and drinks.
"Everyone seemed to be chatting very happily earlier?" Yang An asked.
"We were talking about Brother Qin's pet. This pet is too adorable, and it even said that the greater demons we ride on would definitely be delicious. Haha."
"This is the first time I've seen such a foolish fellow, he doesn't even know fear. He simply doesn't know the immensity of the heavens and earth, and doesn't know what kind of existences are around him." Someone glanced at Qin Wentian, as though there was a double meaning in his words.
"Oh?" Only then did Yang An turn his gaze onto Qin Wentian. He smiled, "This must be Brother Qin, right? You just came out of seclusion and Brother Qin's name keeps ringing in my ears. Since you're able to become the top ranker of the Immortal Ascension Rankings, you must be an extraordinary character."
"Crown prince is too polite," Qin Wentian replied.
"I wonder who were the top rankers of the Immortal Ascension Rankings when Brother Qin came out? Back then when I was around, there were a few extremely powerful characters. For example, Zi Daoyang, the son of Zidi. When I left, Zi Daoyang was already the top ranker. He should have already left the Immortal Ascension Rankings." Yang An smiled. Qin Wentian understood in his heart. If Zi Daoyang didn't die, he might be the same as Mo Xie, stepping into immortal-foundation. After all, even Yang An had already broken through to immortal-foundation.
However, breaking through to immortal-foundation couldn't be determined by one's strength alone. There were some who had yet to reach the peak of Celestial Phenomenon, yet their combat prowess could already sweep away peak-level Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants. An example was Zi Daoyang and Mo Xie. Their cultivation bases might not be as deep as Yang An's, but they could already defeat Yang An. But Yang An might have already broken through to immortal-foundation before them. Other than this, one also had to consider one's fate, one's state of heart, and one's requirements for one's immortal-foundation. After all, immortal-foundation could be divided into six tiers and three grades.
However, Yang An's words seemed to indicate that he was doubting the worth of being the top ranker of the Immortal Ascension Rankings!
"Even a character like Brother Yang couldn't defeat Zi Daoyang back then?" Qin Wentian smiled as he replied.
"Zi Daoyang and Mo Xie's combat prowess is extremely terrifying. The competition in the Immortal Ascension Rankings back then was simply too intense." Yang An calmly spoke, causing the interest of everyone to be piqued. Someone then added, "Sometimes, the rankings in the City of Ancient Emperors can't represent everything. For example, there would be clashes between experts, and there would be differences in the value of the rankings."
"That's true." Many people spoke.
"If the crown prince and Brother Qin were both in the City of Ancient Emperors, there would surely be a fierce battle between tigers and dragons." Someone intentionally added.
"No, no, how can I be compared to Brother Qin? Although the value of the rankings in my batch is very high, I'm still only ranked # 5." Yang An's words were humble, yet not humble at all.
"The value of the rankings in your batch is so low, yet you still think you're very high? You don't know the immensity of the heavens and earth." Little Rascal was currently eating at the table as he spoke in a baby-like voice, causing everyone to be stunned as they turned their gazes onto him.
"Haha, this little fellow is simply too adorable."
"This pet actually knows how high the value of the rankings is. What a joke."
"When he was in the City of Ancient Emperors, Zi Daoyang was already the # 1 ranker. After that, Zi Daoyang, who cultivated for a few more years, was already ranked # 3. You guys are truly amusing." Little Rascal tossed a fruit into his mouth as he stared at everyone with disdain.
Zi Daoyang was ranked # 3?
"Little fellow, you must be joking. Zi Daoyang is the son of the Violet Emperor, he would fall from # 1 to # 3 in the Immortal Ascension Rankings. Even if Mo Xie surpassed him, Zi Daoyang should still be # 2, right?" Yang An narrowed his eyes.
"I thought you were very humble." Little Rascal stared at Yang An with disdain. "Would this baobao lie to you? You can ask Qin Wentian. He heavily injured Zi Daoyang, and after that, Zi Daoyang was ranked # 3. You were ranked # 5 back then. If you didn't leave, you wouldn't even be in the top ten."
