Eyes flashing with cold light, Ning Qi stopped suppressing his cultivation base and unleashed all of his power to fight back against the pressure around him.
In the blink of an eye, his aura reached its peak, and the pressure around him grew dozens of times heavier. Like sharks that had smelled blood, they charged toward Ning Qi in a frenzy.
"Brother Ning?"
The Divine Giant Ghost could sense that something was wrong with Ning Qi's aura, although it was only for a moment.
"We're in the imperial capital, right?
Let's go. "
Ning Qi smiled.
The Divine Giant Ghost looked at Ning Qi's relaxed demeanor, and a bit of confusion flickered in his eyes. But in the end, he didn't ask any questions. The pressure was something only people could sense.
Even as a divine being, he could only sense that something was wrong. What he didn't know was that the pressure around Ning Qi was so viscous that it was almost tangible.
The gates of the Heavenstar God Kingdom were very grand, and in addition to the Giant Ghost God-Emperor's battleship, there were other battleships going in and out of the city. In fact, Ning Qi didn't see a single cultivator entering or leaving the city on his own.
Before, there had been a long line of ships lining up to enter the city, but as soon as the Giant Ghost God-Emperor's battleship arrived, all of them parted ways. Without any formalities, the Giant Ghost God-Emperor's battleship entered the imperial capital.
"The rules in the imperial capital are very strict," the Divine Giant Ghost said. "No one is allowed to enter or leave the city on their own. Anyone who wants to enter the imperial capital has to board a ship that's registered, so there's no need for inspection. But if someone on a ship causes trouble in the imperial capital, the ship's owner will be implicated."
The Divine Giant Ghost seemed to have noticed Ning Qi's confusion.
After a pause, he looked curiously at Ning Qi. "Brother Ning, have you really never been to the imperial capital before?"
"That's right. It's my first time here."
Ning Qi smiled and nodded.
The imperial capital was huge, and the streets were wide enough for dozens of ships to travel side by side. The buildings on either side were so tall that they touched the clouds. After entering the imperial capital, the Divine Giant Ghost didn't let anyone disembark. Instead, he steered the ship toward a certain location.
"In the Imperial Capital, only warriors from the God's Realm who are at the advanced sixth rank and above are qualified to apply to drive a warship in certain areas. The rest of the people can only ride horses at most."
The Giant Ghost Divine Venerable smiled at Ning Qi as he admired the surrounding scenery.
Little Yue 'er and the rest also stood behind Ning Qi, looking curiously at the Divine Capital. This place was equivalent to the Divine Capital of the Sea God Country, one of the top places in the Fortune Divine Realm.
Along the way, they often saw Rank-5 or Rank-6 Celestial Realm warriors.
All of a sudden, a battleship caught up to the Giant Ghost Deity's side of the battlefield.
The other battlefields had deliberately lowered their altitude and speed when they saw the Divine Giant Ghost's sign. The only ones who dared to fly alongside the Divine Giant Ghost's warship were ships of the same level as the Divine Giant Ghost.
"Tiandu."
The Divine Giant Ghost's eyes flickered with a very serious gleam, as well as a bit of grimness.
"An acquaintance?"
Ning Qi smiled at the Divine Giant Ghost.
"He's an acquaintance. Before I reached the Hierarch Realm, I was once a servant disciple under him."
The Divine Giant Ghost said calmly.
Servant disciple?
In other words, the Divine Giant Ghost Deity was far, far more experienced than the Divine Giant Ghost Deity.
Ning Qi's eyes flickered. He could sense that there was some sort of grudge between the Divine Giant Ghost and Tiandu.
Even Longjiang and the others were taken aback by the sight of the battleship.
"Why have you come to the Divine Capital ahead of time, Giant Ghost?
Don't tell me you're completely confident in your disciple? "
A figure walked up to the deck and smiled at the Giant Ghost Deity.
He wore a black robe, and his hands were as pale as death. Furthermore, each of his fingers had fingernails that were at least a foot long! These fingernails were black and translucent, curved, and gave off a very sinister feeling.
He was very handsome, and had a smile that shone like the rising sun. It was a warm, friendly smile, and yet, hidden beneath that warm smile was a tempest that only Ning Qi and the God of the Giant Ghost could sense.
"This guy is a bit of a contradiction."
Ning Qi thought to himself.
"Do I need to ask for your permission when I come to the Divine Capital, Tiandu?"
The Divine Giant Ghost said coolly.
Just then, a figure appeared next to Divine Giant Ghost. It was none other than Divine Giant Quicksand, whom Ning Qi had met once before.
As soon as he saw Ning Qi, his face flickered, and his lips moved as he transmitted a few words to Divine Giant Ghost.
Divine Giant Ghost's expression didn't change at all. Chuckling, he said, "In any case, you and I used to be master and servant. It's a bit rude of you to come to the Divine Capital without giving me a heads up. You and I might be gods now, but I'm a third tribulation, and you're only a second. Logically speaking, you're my junior, aren't you?"
A chuckle could be heard from behind Divine Giant Ghost.
It was one of the chosen disciples he and Divine Giant Quicksand had brought to participate in the tournament.
"There's no need to talk about juniors or juniors. Perhaps one day, my cultivation base will surpass yours. When that happens, will you kowtow to me?"
The Divine Giant Ghost said with a cold laugh.
"Ai. Ingrate."
Shaking his head, Divine Giant Ghost looked at Ning Qi. "Are you the new god, Celestial Emperor Beixuan?"
"That's right."
Ning Qi nodded indifferently.
It was obvious that Divine Giant Ghost and Divine Giant Ghost were not on good terms, and he was with Divine Giant Quicksand. Ning Qi didn't want to be polite to him.
"Divine Giant Quicksand has mentioned you to me, and he's full of praise for you. You're just a First Tribulation Ultimate God, but your battle prowess is extraordinary. It'd be great if I could meet you in the tournament. I really want to spar with you."
Hierarch Tiandu said with a smile.
Although he didn't sound threatening, the way he looked at Ning Qi made him feel like a hunter eyeing his prey.
Everyone, including Ultimate Divinity Tiandu, thought that the two of them would just bicker. Therefore, he smiled and turned to leave after finishing his sentence.
Ning Qi chuckled. "Why wait until the tournament if you want to spar? Isn't there a place in the Divine Capital for Hierarch experts to spar?"
Divine Giant Ghost stiffened. He slowly turned around and looked at Ning Qi with a faint smile. "What did you just say?"
"Calm down, Brother Ning.
Divine Giant Ghost has a lot of experience, and he has some tricks that not even I can handle. "
The Divine Giant Ghost immediately transmitted.
Ning Qi smiled at him to show that he didn't need to worry, then turned to Divine Giant Ghost. "Didn't you want to spar?
There's no need to wait for the tournament. Just set a time and place. I'll be waiting for you. "
