The Imperial City
Just as he returned to his residence, a guard respectfully knocked on the door and opened it.
"Is it Commander Lin?"
Lin Ling walked out and looked at the guard. He nodded with a smile and said, "I am!"
"You're finally here! The Second Prince has ordered you to hurry to the Imperial City and attend the birthday celebration of Grandmaster Pill Cauldron He Yanshan!" The guard replied respectfully and then smiled, "Commander Lin, His Majesty the Second Prince really values you. We received the news three days ago, but His Majesty the Second Prince didn't want to disturb you, so he didn't let us inform you. We only dared to disturb you when you returned to the inner city!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lin Ling nodded. Since the other party had given him so much face, he would naturally do the same.
The guard smiled and said, "The birthday banquet is about to begin. If it's convenient for you, then let's set out immediately!"
"Alright!"
Lin Ling closed the gates of the mansion and followed the guard inside. In any case, he didn't have anything important to do in the inner city, so he might as well take a look at Grandmaster Pill Cauldron's birthday.
"All the influential figures in Ocean of Clouds City will be attending this birthday celebration. After all, even the Retired Emperor, Ocean of Clouds Emperor, has to give face to Grandmaster Pill Cauldron!" The guard spoke as he walked.
Lin Ling frowned. Grandmaster Pill Cauldron He Yanshan, this name was very familiar. Where had he heard it before?
Oh, right!
In Gu Yan Sect!
The first time he refined a pill, it was through his mysterious eyes that he saw Grandmaster Pill Cauldron Senior He Yanshan refining pills. At that time, he learned how to refine the Heaven-Step Origin Returning Pill!
It had to be said that this was extremely dramatic!
Today, Lin Ling was fortunate enough to meet He Yanshan, who was once a titan of the Northern Dipper Continent. To Senior He Yanshan, Lin Ling still owed him a favor.
Lin Ling pondered for a moment before asking, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
The guard was clearly His Majesty's trusted aide. He smiled and explained, "At present, the new King of the Cloud Sea Empire is about to rise. Every heir to the throne will fight for the power that is beneficial to them. As one of the three pillars of the Cloud Sea Empire, Grandmaster Dan Ding is naturally favored by His Majesty. If he can obtain Grandmaster Dan Ding's support, then it will definitely be beneficial to the throne!"
Lin Ling nodded in understanding.
It seemed that the Second Prince wanted to obtain Grandmaster Pill Cauldron's support. However, this would be a difficult task. None of the princes would let go of such a powerful ally like Grandmaster Pill Cauldron.
The two of them chatted as they walked, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the imperial city.
This was the first time Lin Ling had laid eyes on the Cloud Ocean Imperial City. When he looked at it from afar, the city was hazy, vast, and grand. The golden and dazzling city walls were like an enormous dragon that was lying on the ground, and palaces stood like trees in a forest within the city walls, and they were enveloped by wispy clouds!
That place was the core of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom. It was also the most powerful and mysterious place!
At this moment, below the vast city walls, there were people from various forces entering the Imperial City one after another.
"Minister Zuo has arrived!"
From afar, a group of scholars with extraordinary auras walked by. They were followed by an elder who seemed to represent the righteousness of heaven and earth.
Lin Ling took a closer look. This group of people might not be martial artists, but they all had powerful soul spirits. There was a faintly discernible green cloud above their heads, which was extremely horrifying!
Of course, that green cloud could only be seen by the soul spirit.
Meteoric rise?
Lin Ling recalled a saying from the previous world. Those people were different from martial artists. They pursued the official path, which was why they had a meteoric rise.
"General Zhennan has arrived!"
On the other side, a large group of guards walked over. The leader was riding on a huge Qilin and had an imposing aura. That Qilin wasn't an ancient Qilin and merely possessed the ancient bloodline. However, it was extremely ferocious. If one looked into its eyes, they would immediately feel as though they were being devoured by a demonic beast.
"Riding on a Qilin!"
Lin Ling's mouth twitched. This inner city was truly filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
"Eh?"
As for the general riding on the Qilin, he looked curiously at Lin Ling from afar and seemed to be interested. Then, he led the group into the imperial city.
In his heart, this youth looked ordinary, but there was a great martial dao concept hidden within him. Although it was hidden very well, the general still noticed it. This made him pay more attention. After all, it was extremely rare for someone to comprehend a great martial dao concept at such a young age!
"Esteemed Elder, Elder Crane has arrived!"
Another voice came from the imperial city. Everyone's expression turned serious. They looked up and saw a figure riding a red-crowned crane flying over from afar.
Rumble!
When they got closer, they realized that the red-crowned crane was as big as a small mountain. With a flap of its wings, it swept away the clouds.
"Xiao Yun, you can go back first!"
The elder on the red-crowned crane smiled and said to the crane. The red-crowned crane let out a crisp cry and with a flap of its wings, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The elder slowly walked over like a peerless master!
"This elder is definitely in the Sky Spirit Realm, or even stronger!" Lin Ling's expression became even more serious. He realized that he still had a long way to go.
"Martial Scholar has arrived!"
Another voice resounded as a young man strode into the imperial city. He was like a ferocious tiger. Everywhere he passed, so long as it was a cultivator with a lower strength than him, they would immediately feel their hearts thump. It seemed like the blood within their bodies was throbbing along with the young man's footsteps.
"Martial Scholar, I'll definitely defeat you in three months!"
Right at this moment, a proud voice resounded, and then a young man in a black robe walked over slowly. His long hair fluttered while he carried a sword on his back, and his imposing aura was extremely fierce and cold.
"It's Ye Tianchen!"
Many people nodded to themselves as they gazed at the young man.
Ye Tianchen was the most dazzling star in Ocean of Clouds City. He swept through all the geniuses as soon as he was born, and he'd only lost to the current Martial Scholar. Moreover, all the powers were extremely interested in Ye Tianchen.
However, no one had expected that Ye Tianchen would be here as well. Moreover, he immediately made a declaration upon seeing the Martial Scholar.
"You're just a loser!"
The young man turned around and laughed with disdain as he strode forward.
"I'll let you be arrogant for a few more months!"
Ye Tianchen's expression turned slightly unsightly. He felt that he was a genius and didn't take anyone seriously. However, he'd defeated countless geniuses, yet he'd lost to the Martial Scholar, so it was a humiliation to him.
Yet now, the Martial Scholar didn't give him any face at all and treated him with disdain before the various powers of Ocean of Clouds City.
This caused Ye Tianchen's arrogant heart to be humiliated once more. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to defeat the Martial Scholar for now, so he could only swallow his anger.
"What're all of you looking at? Even though I'm not a match for the Martial Scholar right now, all of you are like ants in my eyes!"
Ye Tianchen swept the surroundings with his gaze, and he immediately shouted coldly when he saw many geniuses walking towards the Imperial City.
Those geniuses gritted their teeth and remained silent. They'd fought Ye Tianchen in the past, but they'd lost to him. Now, it was very obvious that he'd been infuriated by the Martial Scholar, so he'd vented his anger on them.
"Fuck off! Those of the same age as me must enter the Imperial City after me!"
Ye Tianchen flicked his sleeve and walked forward arrogantly. However, in the next moment, his gaze descended onto a young man, and he shouted coldly once more, "Didn't you hear me? Or do you want to be crippled by me? "
