Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7796

Chapter 7713: Ancient Martial Immortal

“Is there even a question? The only people more honorable than the top rulers of the inner borders are from ‘there’!”

“Be careful, don’t talk about them, or don’t blame us for not warning you. If you lose your life, don’t blame others…”

Li Tianming was also surprised. “Are these the people from the Republic of the Divine Heaven? They’ve brought such a grand display!”

Because he was still near the Myriad Sects Battle Domain, he could only vaguely see the scene on Fengxian Spirit Island, and his vision wasn’t very clear.

Although Yin Chen didn’t get close to them, it was at least able to fly in the air and observe from afar under the cover of the Boundless Eternal Realm. It vividly described to Li Tianming how the people of the third-level star system member countries revered those two important figures.

“Those two are actually ‘Republican Inspectors’ from the Republic of the Divine Heaven, who are specifically responsible for supervising the inner and outer borders. The one wearing a golden robe, Inspector Han, is responsible for supervising the inner borders, and the other, Inspector Liu, is responsible for supervising the outer borders.” Seeing Li Tianming’s interest, Ji Ziling took the initiative to explain.

“I see… No wonder His Majesty Qianfeng and the other top figures in the inner regions are so respectful,” Li Tianming said thoughtfully.

Because these two held supervisory responsibilities, even these top figures in the inner regions feared them. If they were discovered to have done something outrageous, they could face judgment from the Republic God Heaven.

However, thinking of this, Li Tianming also became slightly curious. He whispered to Ji Ziling, “So, do they know that the inner regions monopolize these promotion slots to the Republic God Heaven?”

“You dare ask that?” Ji Ziling glared slightly, somewhat speechless, but still whispered in Li Tianming’s ear, “The truth will out. Such things can’t be completely concealed, so of course they know.”

“They don’t care?” Li Tianming was somewhat surprised.

“I can’t tell you that. It’s for your own good; there’s no need for you to know so much,” Ji Ziling said with a smile, shaking her head. Then she whispered, “However, there’s another secret that’s not exactly a secret. If you want to know, I can tell you.”

“What secret?” Li Tianming was open to any information, after all, there were some things that even Yin Chen couldn’t easily find out.

“This Inspector Liu is actually our family’s powerful backer, and he has connections with our Qianfeng royal family,” Ji Ziling said slowly.

“Your backing is really strong!” Li Tianming said sincerely.

Li Tianming was also somewhat surprised, thinking to himself, no wonder the Qianfeng Eternal Empire could host the Ten Thousand Sects Imperial War.

Ji Ziling added with a hint of regret, “However, the Qianfeng Eternal Empire is, after all, an inner-border member state, while Inspector Liu inspects the outer borders. Their jurisdictions don’t quite align; otherwise, the Qianfeng royal family’s status would likely be even higher.”

Li Tianming shook his head and smiled, “Such a strong backing is something many people crave. Even if Inspector Liu doesn’t directly manage the inner borders, he’s still a big shot from a region like the Republic of Divine Heaven. If the eldest princess heard these words from other member states, they’d probably want to kill themselves.”

Ji Ziling paused slightly, then looked a little embarrassed, “I didn’t mean to flatter you; I just hope Qianfeng can do better.”

“You two stop talking now! Look up there! It seems another important figure has appeared, but I don’t think I’ve seen this one before!” Ji Qingyue interrupted, jumping up and down while pointing to Fengxian Spirit Island.

After the two figures, one in gold and one in silver, appeared, an old man in black and white robes appeared on Fengxian Spirit Island!

The old man had a cold and stern expression, his gaze sharp as a blade. Although his hair was completely white, his posture remained upright.

He walked slowly among the thousands of powerful figures from the inner border, while the Heavenly Emperor and their trusted ministers kneeling around him lowered their heads even further!

This old man was special, possessing a unique arrogance that neither of the two inspectors had.

Around him, sword-shaped phantoms swirled, seemingly forming a sword domain that made it difficult for others to approach.

Ji Qingyue trembled at the sight. She patted Ji Ziling beside her and said, “Sister, who is this person? I know the two inspectors, but I’ve never seen this one before.”

Because of the distance, Li Tianming couldn’t see clearly either.

However, Yin Chen’s voice rang in her ears.

“This person is… terrifying!”

Simple and clear, summarizing the figure.

“This time, it’s actually him?” Ji Ziling’s red lips parted slightly, also somewhat surprised.

“Sister, don’t keep us in suspense. Who is this?” Ji Qingyue pressed.

Ji Ziling didn’t keep them in suspense and slowly said, “This one is the ‘Sword-Bearing Martial Immortal’ from the Great Wall of the Corona Borealis, also known as the ‘Ancient Martial Immortal.’ It’s said that he holds a very high position in the Great Wall of the Corona Borealis. Aside from the two inspectors who oversee the inner and outer borders, this third one is also the main figure presiding over this Martial Immortal assessment!”

“So, whether I can ultimately become a member of the Martial Immortal group depends heavily on him?” Li Tianming realized the crucial point.

Ji Ziling nodded and whispered, “Actually, among the 128 people being assessed like you in this Myriad Sects Emperor Battle, there are more than thirty others…”

Li Tianming, Sui Shenyao, Jiang Feiling, and the others were all somewhat surprised.

Because this also likely meant that there were more than thirty people with similar strength to Li Tianming!

“Sister, there’s something I don’t understand. Since there are only thirty-odd spots for the assessment, what’s the point of the other Ten Thousand Sects Imperial Battle? Even if you perform well, you’ll only stay in the inner borderlands, right? They’re all princes and princesses of their own kingdoms, their status is already almost at the top, what’s the point of competing for more?” Ji Qingyue asked curiously.

“That’s the Republic of the Divine Heaven, no one is willing to let go of the opportunity. What if you defeat an opponent who has the assessment qualification and take their spot? That could change your destiny!” Ji Ziling said with a hint of exasperation. “Besides, if you win in such a battle of geniuses, doesn’t that mean you have great potential and a greater chance of winning the throne?”

“Hehe, what do I care about winning the throne? I have no interest.” Ji Qingyue said with a smile.

“Look at Empress Chenxi, if you were half as strong as her, Father and I wouldn’t worry about you being bullied.” Ji Ziling said slowly.

“What am I afraid of? I still have Father, Mother, and Brother, and I still have you, Sister!” Ji Qingyue buried her head in Ji Ziling’s arms and said coquettishly.

Ji Ziling was already used to it and could only shake her head helplessly.

At the same time, Li Tianming gazed intently at the three top figures on Fengxian Spirit Island, figures revered by thousands of Heavenly Emperors.

They were not like the young people taking the Martial Immortal group’s assessment; they were true elders, likely holding considerable status even within the Republic of the Divine Heaven!

At this moment, under the kneeling obeisance of the crowd, the Ancient Martial Immortal slowly walked to the high seat, nodded to the other two inspectors from the inner and outer borders, and then sat down together in the highest position.

From this position, they could completely overlook the entire Ten Thousand Sects Battle Domain and observe this battle of geniuses from all angles!
