Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7641

Chapter 7556: The Starlight Palace

Soon, the voices of the father and daughter echoed into a grand hall…

This hall, too, was located within the Myriad Sects Imperial Tower.

This enormous pavilion seemed to contain a universe within, a veritable palace of starlight!

Everywhere was like a condensed, piled-up, colorful galaxy, incomparably dazzling and magnificent, a splendor beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Judging from its structure, it appeared to be a reception hall, but definitely one used only for entertaining guests of the highest status.

Emperor Qianfeng and Ji Ziling sat in the first and second seats respectively, waiting for a moment.

Soon, guests began to enter the hall.

The first to appear was a young man with long hair that did not cover his forehead, but was completely pulled back, revealing his face.

His face was like jade, with a smile on his lips, and his unique hairstyle revealed his face, which was like a finely sculpted work of art.

His sword-like eyebrows were sharp and intimidating, his starry eyes were dazzling, and his profile was as clean as if carved by a knife…

His imperial aura rivaled that of Emperor Qianfeng, but what first caught the eye was his impeccable, elegant face.

“Fellow Daoist of Myriad Realms, it’s been a long time.” Emperor Qianfeng smiled and cupped his hands.

“It’s been a long time, Fellow Daoist Qianfeng.” The jade-like young man also cupped his hands and smiled.

This was none other than the ruler of the Myriad Realms Eternal Empire, corresponding to Emperor Qianfeng—Emperor Myriad Realms!

Actually, there was an old man beside Emperor Myriad Realms, but his presence was overshadowed by Emperor Myriad Realms’ radiance.

This old man had completely white hair and eyebrows, but his posture was upright, and his face still possessed a robust middle-aged appearance; he wasn’t entirely in his eighties.

Ji Ziling smiled and extended her hand, saying, “Your Majesty of the Myriad Realms, and Elder Mirror, please take your seats and enjoy the spectacular Battle of the Myriad Sects.”

Her demeanor, actions, and words were all poised and measured, displaying the grace of a grand princess.

The Heavenly Emperor of the Myriad Realms smiled and nodded, taking the elderly man named Mirror to a position slightly below that of Heavenly Emperor Qianfeng.

Although both were Heavenly Emperors of third-level star systems, they were guests, and the order of precedence should not be disordered.

At this moment, Heavenly Emperor Qianfeng glanced at Ji Ziling, conveying some unspoken information.

Ji Ziling understood and served tea, while also saying, “Elder Jingxiang, I heard that you have arranged for two disciples to seek advancement in a foreign sect called ‘Wusheng Qianhuan Sect’?” Upon

hearing this, Jingxiang glanced at Emperor Wanjing, pondered for a moment, and said, “Your Highness, this is indeed true. Moreover, these two are my own grandsons, and they possess some insignificant talent, so they wish to strive for a higher platform.”

“No need to be so formal. Among the more powerful member states in the inner borderlands, such underhanded dealings are naturally a matter of give and take. I have already informed Fellow Daoist Qianfeng beforehand; it’s nothing.” Emperor Wanjing smiled and shared a cup with Emperor Qianfeng.

“Elder Jingxiang, look over there?” Ji Ziling pointed with a smile to the image beside her.

However, it was only after looking that Jingxiang nearly dropped his cup.

“This green-haired youth, could it be…” Jingxiang’s eyes widened slightly.

“It is indeed my daughter.” Emperor Qianfeng said somewhat helplessly.

“Where is this group of people?” Jingxiang’s pupils trembled, and he almost ripped out a clump of his beard.

After all, he was an old powerhouse who had cultivated for a lifetime, so he naturally analyzed the situation quickly.

So, Jingxiang organized his words a little and sighed, “Your Majesty truly has a tiger father and a dog daughter. Although this young princess is hiding her strength, it is enough to see that her full strength is even enough to defeat my two grandsons.”

Seeing this, the Heavenly Emperor of Myriad Realms seemed to find it interesting and said, “The young princess is actually teamed up with this white-haired youth. She does have some strength, but she is probably far from being worthy of the team arranged by Fellow Daoist Qianfeng, right? After all, I have heard how much you dote on her.”

Being seen through by the other party, the Heavenly Emperor Qianfeng was not surprised, but he sighed slightly and said, “This matter is a long story.”

“Your Majesty Qianfeng, my two grandsons certainly did not know the little princess’s identity, otherwise they would never have dared to attack her teammates. Please do not blame them, Your Majesty… Moreover, considering that they posed no real threat to the little princess, I hope you will forgive them!” Jingxiang bowed deeply to the Heavenly Emperor Qianfeng.

Emperor Qianfeng sighed and waved his hand, saying, “Please rise. My little daughter is indeed mischievous, causing such a commotion in the Myriad Sects Emperor Battle. It’s really no one’s fault but hers. Let her be; how she performs is her own business. Actually, to be honest, I feel a little bad for Fellow Daoist Wanjing.”

Both ‘Thousand Illusions Pool Luan’ and ‘Thousand Illusions Battle Waves’ were Emperor Wanjing’s doing, and now, because of Ji Xuanjian’s somewhat reckless behavior, his plans might even be disrupted, which was indeed adding to the chaos.

Emperor Wanjing was quite magnanimous, laughing, “There are countless geniuses in the Myriad Sects Emperor Battle, and many unexpected events. Some things are simply their fate, inescapable. Even those eliminated by the perilous ancient ruins are not few; being eliminated is normal.”

“It’s good that you don’t understand my predicament. We’ve both organized the Myriad Sects Emperor Battle before, and we know how many unexpected events occur,” Emperor Qianfeng smiled.

“Don’t be so sure of yourself. What if it’s your little prince who gets eliminated?” Emperor Wanjing joked again.

“That’s her fate. I’ve already arranged a path for her, but she stubbornly refuses to follow it. She can’t blame anyone else,” Emperor Qianfeng said calmly.

It seemed the two rulers of the third-tier star system were still on good terms, showing no signs of being affected by the conflict.

Jingxiang, however, was far less composed, as his status was far inferior to theirs, and he was still tense.

“In the end, Princess was dragged into this struggle because of these foolish people, especially that white-haired youth, who is the culprit… If it weren’t for the fear of her teammates being eliminated and affecting the sect, Princess wouldn’t need to be so cautious in this battle. In fact, the source of all the trouble is them,” Jingxiang said, looking at the image.

Ji Ziling nodded and said, “This white-haired youth is indeed troublesome, always causing unnecessary conflicts. Not only did Xiaoyue not get into her assigned team, she couldn’t even enjoy ‘playing’ to her heart’s content. Fortunately, we have the Illusion God cultivator from the Eternal Empire of Myriad Realms, who can at least teach him a lesson, ideally eliminating him.”

“Wouldn’t that also affect the young princess’s overall score?” Jing Xiang asked hesitantly.

“It’s alright. She wasn’t aiming for a good score anyway, so this is even better. Once she loses hope, she’ll feel it’s pointless and naturally choose to exit on her own, instead of continuing to embarrass herself.” Ji Ziling’s eyes flickered slightly.
