The many-legged beasts pulled the carriage through the sky at an incredible speed.
Dongbo Xue Ying and Jing Qiu were both seated within the carriage, looking at the surrounding scenery. The Calm Sea Prefecture City was simply too big, and there were even some majestic buildings in the distance, as well as some undulating mountains.
"Even I can't see the Calm Sea Prefecture City clearly. I can only see its end from afar, as if it's a gigantic city wall at the end of the world," Jing Qiu sighed in admiration.
"Mn." Dongbo Xue Ying also looked at the gigantic city wall that was hidden by the clouds. "The Calm Sea Prefecture City is indeed extraordinary. After all, it was built by the Prefecture Master and reinforced by successive Prefecture Masters. Every single array on the city wall is unfathomably profound."
Despite his astonishment, Dongbo Xue Ying felt a surge of heroism in his heart.
As long as he did not slack off, it would not be difficult for him to become a stage four World Deity in the future. In fact, he might even have a chance of becoming a powerful existence!
"We're almost there," the green-robed driver suddenly said.
The nine many-legged beasts had already begun to descend towards the gigantic palace complex. This was the Calm Sea Prefecture Master's palace, as well as the residence of the Long Shi Clan.
After descending, the carriage came to a stop in front of a side hall.
"Sir Dongbo." A violet-robed female attendant was waiting at the entrance of the hall, specifically to welcome them.
Dongbo Xue Ying and Jing Qiu disembarked from the carriage.
"Good fellow." Dongbo Xue Ying swept his gaze across the hall, noticing a row of golden-armored soldiers standing at the entrance. However, the aura emanating from them was that of a World Deity!
"Ten World Deities are standing guard outside the hall?" Dongbo Xue Ying was inwardly shocked at the foundation of the number one clan of the Calm Sea Prefecture. He and his wife were led by the violet-robed female attendant into the hall.
A few guests had already arrived within the hall.
One of them was the white-robed handsome teenager, Seventh Mei Yu. Seventh Mei Yu was seated cross-legged beside a long table, and behind him were two beautiful women.
"Sir Dongbo, this way please." The violet-robed female attendant led Dongbo Xue Ying to his seat, which was right beside Seventh Mei Yu.
Dongbo Xue Ying sat cross-legged with Jing Qiu by his side.
"Brother Dong Bo, did you only bring your wife?" Seventh Mei Yu turned to look at him.
"I've come to take a look. Madam Sang didn't come?" Dongbo Xue Ying asked in astonishment. Madam Sang was a stage two World Deity; was she not supposed to protect Seventh Mei Yu?
"There's no need for her to come to this kind of banquet." What a joke, Monarch Mo Xue was currently residing in the Long Shi Clan, and the Manor Lord was personally accompanying him! Given her father's strength, he could easily suppress the entire Calm Sea Prefecture with a single thought. As such, there was no need for Madam Sang to follow him too closely. She had no reason to follow him too closely.
While they were talking.
A servant brought in some delicacies and wine, and respectfully placed the plates on Dongbo Xue Ying's table. "This is a token of His Second Highness's sincerity, please enjoy, Master Dongbo." The servant then left.
"The second prince's kind intentions?" Dongbo Xue Ying swept his gaze across the table. Atop this seemingly stone plate was a flask of wine and six plates, some of which were filled with spirit fruits, while others were filled with food.
Dongbo Xue Ying lifted the lid of the flask of wine and took a sniff. He then smiled at his wife beside him. "Jing Qiu, His Second Highness's spending is not small. This flask of wine and these spirit fruits should cost at least a thousand Deity crystals."
"Snow Eagle, take a closer look at the plate," Jing Qiu said.
Dongbo Xue Ying was taken aback.
Only then did he take a closer look …
It seemed like a stone plate. At first glance, it seemed ordinary and unremarkable, but upon closer inspection, one would be able to sense an incomparably pure energy contained within it.
"Faith Stone?" Dongbo Xue Ying was astonished.
The power of faith was extremely precious. What was the purpose of World Deities spreading their fame and fighting for faith? It was precisely the power of faith.
'Faith Stone' was the material form of the condensed power of faith! However, they would usually be cut into standard pieces of faith stones, and each piece was only the size of a finger. The plate in front of him was worth thousands of faith stones. It was probably made from the most primitive giant stone formed from faith power, and it was specially cut into plates.
Her Highness Seventh Mei Yu laughed from the side. "Rich clans love to do such things. Let's not even talk about cutting Faith Stones into plates. They would even carve huge Faith Stones into statues after countless years of accumulation. This plate of Faith Stones … if calculated in terms of Deity crystals, it would be worth a hundred thousand Deity crystals! Not just you and me, but every single one of us in the top ten will probably get a plate. This is the real gift from His Highness. "
"A hundred thousand Deity crystals? That's a million Deity crystals for the top ten. "Dongbo Xue Ying shook his head and sighed." How extravagant. "
A million Deity crystals was equivalent to all the treasures of a stage one World Deity.
And yet, it was merely a gift from His Highness!
In truth, this was quite normal. Those ranked in the top ten were all freakish geniuses, and most likely had some sort of fortuitous encounter. Ten or twenty thousand Deity crystals would not be worth much to them! Only a hundred thousand Deity crystals would be enough to show their sincerity. Moreover, the Faith Stones would be cut into plates, and the top ten would always remember it.
… …
Guests arrived one after another. There were those who ranked in the top ten of the Calm Sea Prefecture Ranking Battle, as well as some of the rich clans' disciples.
The Second Prince was the last to appear.
"Everyone, the Myriad Flower Feast is held only once every ten million years, and it is the grandest event in the entire Deity World. Today, I've invited the top ten of the ranking battle, and I believe that in nine years, they will all head to the Bloodshed God Palace to fight in front of His Majesty and all the other powerful existences. Come, come, for this grand occasion, and for the ten of you, let us drink together. "The black-robed youth sat on the host's seat and raised a wine cup.
Immediately, everyone present raised their wine cups and drained them in one gulp.
"Let me introduce everyone first." The black-robed youth smiled. "To my left is Brother Zhenfeng. His great-grandfather is the Left Palace Master." He did not dare to mention the names of the powerful existences.
It was a bearded man in a blue robe who looked rather dispirited. He was drinking and casually glancing around before continuing to drink.
"This is Brother Luan Qi, the only son of the West Yong Legion's general."
"And this is …"
The Second Prince introduced them one by one.
There were a total of twelve disciples from the rich clans, nine of whom were World Deities, and three were Deities! Most Deities would not be able to maintain their True Deity Hearts for long periods of time, and their True Deity Hearts would eventually crumble and die! General Luan of the West Yong Legion, for example, had nine children, but only one of them became a World Deity, while the other eight were ordinary Deities. Over the years, their True Deity Hearts crumbled and died. Only Luan Qi was left.
Those who had been invited today were all disciples of the most powerful rich clans in the Calm Sea Prefecture, the cream of the crop.
After the introductions, everyone gradually became familiar with each other.
Beautiful women were singing and dancing in the hall.
These rich clans' disciples were also chatting with Dongbo Xue Ying and the other nine.
"Not bad. These rich clans' disciples are much more polite than that Soaring Cloud Lake's young master." Dongbo Xue Ying discovered that most of them were World Deities, and two of them were stage two World Deities. All of them were quite polite to him. Only the three Deity level rich clans' disciples were slightly lacking in terms of etiquette.
"Brother Luan Qi, come, come. Why don't the two of us make a bet?" a tall silver-robed youth shouted.
"If Brother Ying wants to bet, I'll naturally accompany you." Luan Qi's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. He then laughed. "I wonder if it's a beautiful woman or a bloody battle?"
"A beautiful woman. A bloody battle would dirty this place and make the Second Prince unhappy. That would be my sin." The silver-robed youth said, "This World Deity weapon of mine was given to me by my father to play with. I find it boring, so I'll bet."
As he spoke, the silver-robed youth flipped his hand and took out a blood-colored double-edged axe.
Luan Qi frowned, but then he laughed. "Alright, I'll accompany you. I'll take a million Deity crystals and this World Deity weapon." With a casual flip of his hand, a divine sword with a green scabbard appeared.
Dongbo Xue Ying could sense it.
This General Ying, who was merely a Deity, seemed to have some sort of conflict with Luan Qi. Otherwise, why would he make such a big bet?
