Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7794

Chapter 7711: Fengxian Spirit Island

Noticing the direction of Li Tianming’s gaze, Ji Ziling proactively explained, “Over there are the seats provided for the outer sects participating in the Myriad Sects Emperor War. The view is good, and they’re independent—quite a good condition, considering there are many more people crammed together below.”

Li Tianming withdrew his gaze and smiled slightly, “Our elders don’t need to come.”

Ji Ziling and Ji Qingyue’s eyes flickered; they both understood what Li Tianming meant.

The title of ‘First-Level Subordinate Sect’ could indeed protect sects like the Heavenly Emperor Sect to some extent, but it wasn’t absolute invincibility. What

truly gives one confidence is absolute strength—an unchanging truth in the universe.

Therefore, the leaders of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, the Myriad Phases Battle Sect, the Chaotic Dao Ruins, and the Myriad Stars Emperor Gate didn’t come to the scene, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

In fact, among the powerful figures from the outer sects who came to watch the battle, almost none of their younger generations were still participating in the Myriad Sects Emperor War.

These participants from outer sects only had access to private stands, so they decided not to waste the opportunity and simply watch the clash of top geniuses.

So far, the scene Li Tianming and his group were witnessing was relatively ordinary, until a sudden commotion arose within the crowd.

Li Tianming followed the crowd’s gaze towards the Myriad Sects Imperial Tower.

High up within that tower were elegant private rooms with excellent views, and through the windows, one could vaguely see several extraordinary figures inside.

These individuals were all undeniably powerful, each possessing an imperial aura—an innate quality of Emperor-level cultivators.

Each of these figures was perhaps several levels stronger than the likes of the Eternal Heavenly Emperor, but somewhat weaker than the Myriad Realms Heavenly Emperor, the Qianfeng Heavenly Emperor, and other Heavenly Emperors.

“Those are mostly members of the fifth-level and fourth-level star systems in the inner border regions, and even the rulers of these star systems!”

“It seems that the Ten Thousand Sects Imperial War has reached its most exciting stage. Even with busy political affairs, they couldn’t resist coming to witness the geniuses’ prowess…”

From the surrounding crowd, Li Tianming also learned the identities of these ‘distinguished guests’ in the Ten Thousand Sects Imperial Tower.

However, Li Tianming was also a little curious, “Why don’t those Heavenly Emperors who are on good terms with His Majesty Qianfeng seem to be in the Ten Thousand Sects Imperial Tower?”

“The rulers of the third-level star systems are not in the same league as these people.” Ji Qingyue waved her finger, and then pointed towards the imperial city, saying, “At this time, I guess my father and the other members of the third-level star systems are there. That’s the real ‘top seat,’ and they seem to have guests to welcome.”

The difference between the third-level star system member countries and the fourth- and fifth-level member countries is huge, so Li Tianming wasn’t too surprised to hear this.

However, Li Tianming couldn’t help but wonder what kind of guests would need to be received in the imperial city.

His gaze swept past the stands of the surrounding outer sects, heading towards the imperial city.

Above the resplendent, star-studded imperial city, there seemed to be a floating island covering a significant portion of the city!

“I don’t think this place existed before?” Li Tianming said, somewhat surprised.

“Of course, because this thing can actually be stored away; it’s a Dao treasure in itself,” Ji Qingyue said proudly, with a hint of envy. “This is one of my father’s treasures, called ‘Fengxian Spirit Island.’ I wonder when I can play with it…”

On ‘Fengxian Spirit Island,’ a waterfall of starlight cascaded vertically from the sky, falling into a certain part of the imperial city, dazzling and beautiful!

Furthermore, at the center of the floating island was a sky garden, surrounded by lush flowers, trees, and birdsong.

It’s no wonder Ji Qingyue wanted such a beautiful and tranquil place that could be carried around.

Li Tianming looked out and could see that the sky garden alone had over a thousand seats.

Of course, many more powerful figures of extremely high status also appeared.

First was Emperor Qianfeng, wearing a crown, with a youthful and handsome appearance, bright starry eyes, and sword-like eyebrows that slanted upwards.

Beside him was the tall, thin, aquiline-nosed elder, Prince Yuan.

Prince Yuan was not nearing the end of his life; apart from some gray hair, his face looked more like that of someone between middle and old age, still showing some of his youthful charm.

These two, who were openly the highest-ranking members of the Qianfeng royal family, were currently welcoming the other guests from the member states of the third-level star system. Among them

were the short, elderly Emperor Zhiwang, the alluring Emperor Chenxi with red eyes, the gray-haired and gray-eyed Emperor Longyuan, and the black-haired, black-eyed, black-robed Emperor Yuanxue!

Each of these people was accompanied by their own attendants and confidants.

While it couldn’t be said that these individuals had a deep personal relationship with Emperor Qianfeng, the major powers and the Qianfeng Eternal Empire certainly had some exchanges over generations; otherwise, Emperor Qianfeng wouldn’t have held a separate banquet at the Myriad Sects Imperial Tower to invite these emperors.

Prince Yuan and Emperor Qianfeng were chatting and laughing with the group, so they could be considered old friends, or at least somewhat familiar with each other.

Emperor Wanjing, however, had a slightly gloomy gaze as he searched the area around the Myriad Sects Battle Domain, seemingly trying to find a certain figure.

Unfortunately, the crowd was too dense, and he couldn’t find the person he was looking for.

Seeing this, Emperor Qianfeng smiled and asked, “Fellow Daoist Wanjing, what are you looking for? Among my ordinary subjects, is there perhaps someone who interests you?”

Those present knew a little about the recent events, so they all looked at Emperor Wanjing with varying expressions.

The Emperor of Myriad Realms’ lips twitched almost imperceptibly, yet he still managed a relaxed smile, saying, “I just think that Fellow Daoist Qianfeng, your way of governing is quite impressive. Such a vast territory has all sorts of people, and you manage to bring them all under your command.”

Upon receiving this reply, Emperor Qianfeng deliberately smiled and said, “You flatter me. Fellow Daoist Myriad Realms is also very good at recognizing and employing people; I am truly inferior.”

A discerning observer could detect the subtle pause in the words “recognize and employ people. “

“With so many people under your wing, you must be careful. Don’t make a mistake and ruin your reputation.” The Emperor of Myriad Realms’ expression turned slightly unpleasant, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

“That’s none of your concern, Fellow Daoist Myriad Realms,” Emperor Qianfeng said, seemingly oblivious to the implied meaning, cupping his hands in a smile.

Beneath the Emperor of Myriad Realms’ forced smile lay a barely perceptible hint of gloom.

Prince Yuan, seeing this, glanced at him slightly but said nothing.

Even if he occasionally clashed with Emperor Qianfeng, and even sided with Emperor Wanjing in his attitude towards Li Tianming, he shouldn’t openly oppose his own family in such a setting.

After all, this involved the face of the Qianfeng royal family.

In just a few words, the atmosphere seemed to become somewhat strange…
