I alone am the Invincible One!

At this moment, in the Jidao Imperial Court, the Lord of the Imperial Court Changtian looked at the jade slip in his hand, feeling much more at ease.

He instantly vanished from the Imperial Court.

Less than three breaths after Long Yan sent the information to Changtian, Changtian appeared instantly not far from Long Yan.

Long Yan and the guards on both sides saw Changtian appear and were about to bow when Changtian interrupted them, transmitting his voice.

"There’s no need to bow to me; just treat me as an ordinary cultivator."

Long Yan and the two guards then pretended as if nothing had happened.

Even so, Wang Yufan, who was walking up the stone steps, had already sensed a God King arriving. He knew without thinking that this was the Lord of the Jidao Imperial Court. Wang Yufan slightly averted his gaze, his sharp eyes directly piercing through the crowd.

He saw Changtian, who was dressed rather simply, and at that very instant, that instinctive sense of danger made Changtian’s hair stand on end.

Indeed, he had just sensed someone observing him, causing him to feel a sense of dread. An incredible feeling lingered in his mind

At this moment, he thought to himself.

"That feeling of being watched just now was truly terrifying. This person’s strength is at least peak God King or above.

Could it be him?"

Changtian was speculating whether the person who had arrived was Ye Gucheng from the central Tiandao Imperial Court. In Changtian’s mind, the only person who could currently make him feel such a sense of crisis was Ye Gucheng, who had reached the God Emperor Realm.

The other Lord of the Imperial Courts did not possess such strength. Among the remaining few, only the Lord of the Imperial Court of the Tianlong Imperial Court was a mid-stage God King, while the other two were at the same realm as him and would not make him feel that discomfort.

Changtian looked in the direction from which the sense of crisis had come, but he didn’t sense even a trace of that mysterious power from before.

He shook his head, perhaps it was just his nervousness causing such a feeling. He lifted his head and looked at the numbers on the stone tablet.

At this moment, the numbers on the stone tablet refreshed every ten breaths.

Three unknown names were seen constantly rising, and the corresponding number of steps also increased continuously.

Eight thousand six hundred.

Eight thousand seven hundred.

Eight thousand eight hundred.

Half of the people present had their eyes fixed on the stone tablet.

Because the numbers for Wang Yufan and others were about to break the record set by Changtian.

Finally, after a hundred breaths.

Someone shouted.

"Someone broke the Lord of the Imperial Court’s record, and it’s three people."

This voice echoed directly outside the Jidao Imperial Court’s city gate. At this moment, passersby stopped and looked at the stone tablet.

The three figures on the stone tablet were still continuously rising.

Eight thousand nine hundred.

Nine thousand.

Nine thousand two hundred.

Nine thousand five hundred.

Just as she reached nine thousand five hundred, Li Meng’er gave up.

And Li Meng’er’s name now appeared at the very top of the stone tablet, surpassing the Lord of the Jidao Imperial Court, Changtian.

When Changtian saw that someone had broken his record, his reaction was not jealousy, but excitement and exhilaration. This proved that within the territory governed by their Jidao Imperial Court, there was someone whose future achievements might reach above the God Emperor Realm.

At this moment, people in the crowd kept shouting.

"Who is this Li Meng’er? From the name, she sounds like a woman. How could such a monstrous woman exist in our Jidao Imperial Court region, and we not know about her?"

"Yes, yes, this person should be on these stone steps. Who is Li Meng’er? Come out quickly and let everyone see!"

Such shouts spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, reaching the ears of Wang Yufan and Li Meng’er.

Wang Yufan gently said.

"Don’t mind them, let’s keep going." Wang Yufan finished speaking and continued walking forward.

The crowd shouted for a long time and saw no response, realizing that the monstrous genius did not want to be exposed. The other half of the people turned their eyes to the stone tablet.

Nine thousand six hundred.

Nine thousand seven hundred.

Nine thousand eight hundred ninety-nine.

Li Qiye finally stopped at the position of nine thousand eight hundred ninety-nine. He originally wanted to break through to nine thousand nine hundred, but no matter how much strength he used on the last stone step, he was pressed down by a supreme force, unable to lift his leg. He believed that if he took one more step, he would be crushed by that force.

Li Qiye also knew he shouldn’t force it; doing his best was enough.

The moment Li Qiye gave up.

A cyan light directly fell onto the stone tablet, forming several crooked characters.

Li Qiye - Emperor level talent.

Seeing this scene, everyone present began to boil with excitement.

"Brother Li, pinch me quickly, what does this mean? What does it mean for this person named Li Qiye to have Emperor level talent? Didn’t they say that the strongest in our Dao Realm is the God Emperor? Is the God Emperor a Great Emperor?"

Someone asked as a white-bearded old man, seeing the strange phenomenon appearing on the stone tablet, said.

"Our horizons are, after all, too narrow. This old man does not know the origin of this stone staircase and this stone tablet, but I know that it must come from a higher plane than our Dao Realm.

I once had the good fortune to read an ancient text, which recorded that above the God Emperor Realm, there is the God Venerable Realm, and above the God Venerable Realm is the Great Emperor. We call such Great Emperors God Emperors.

A so-called God Emperor can destroy a plane with a flick of a hand, just like our Dao Realm. If a God Emperor is displeased, a mere breath from him could wipe us out. Now do you understand?"

Hearing what the white-haired old man said, many who didn’t understand felt their worldviews shaking.

Changtian, standing nearby, also nodded at what the old man said. As the Lord of the Jidao Imperial Court, he naturally knew what a God Emperor meant. It was just that Ye Gucheng, who broke through to God Emperor in the Dao Realm, was the first to do so in ten thousand years, and there was also the Sword God Li Changkong, who ascended from the Dao Realm tens of thousands of years ago. It is said that Li Changkong reached the God Venerable Realm at that time.

All of this was told to Changtian by his master back then.

Ultimately, Changtian came to a conclusion: to break through the limits of the Dao Realm and go to a more profound plane, one must break through to the God Venerable Realm.

Changtian no longer wanted to think about these things, because from now on, the news that a person named Li Qiye has Emperor level talent might explode in the Dao Realm in a very short time. He must act quickly to bring this person named Li Qiye into the Jidao Imperial Court.

If possible, he would even prepare to pass on the position of Lord of the Imperial Court to him. As for his nine princes, Changtian was no longer thinking about them now; the inheritance of the Jidao Imperial Court was paramount. This was also a great opportunity for the Jidao Imperial Court to rise.

Just as he was excitedly thinking about these matters, he suddenly realized something was wrong; it seemed there was still one more person who hadn’t appeared yet. Three people persevered to the end, and now two had appeared, but one name was still missing.

Thinking of this, Changtian’s heart pounded like a war drum. Because he no longer dared to think further.
