Chapter 179: Arrival
Watching Changtian depart after finishing his words, the Primal Origin Emperor was stunned, muttering to himself.
"What’s going on? Does the Jidao Imperial Court now have the capital to contend with the Tiandao Imperial Court? How is this possible? Relying solely on that so-called youth with Emperor level talent, perhaps he can in the future, but he hasn’t grown up yet. I don’t know what the Lord of the Jidao Imperial Court is planning; we’ll have to see during the Grand Competition."
After the Primal Origin Emperor finished speaking, he looked at the people on his warship and said:
"Follow them, we’re setting off!"
With that, as the warship trembled, it soon disappeared into the sky.
At this moment, in the Tiandao Imperial Court’s giant star-shaped plaza, under Ye Lingtian’s arrangement, disciples of the Tiandao Imperial Court were already waiting to welcome the arrival of the various Imperial Courts.
It was well-known that although the Imperial Lord of the Tiandao Imperial Court was powerful, he was particularly fond of saving face. His purpose in doing this was merely to gain some goodwill.
Before sunset, the warships of the Tianlong Imperial Court, the Chongwu Royal Court, the Jidao Imperial Court, and the Kaiyuan Imperial Court all slowly descended onto the Tiandao Imperial Court’s colossal plaza.
"We respectfully welcome the arrival of the four Imperial Lords. His Majesty, Emperor Ye, has matters today that prevent him from coming in person, so he specifically instructed me to welcome you all."
An elder dressed in a green Daoist robe said to Changtian and the other Imperial Lords.
Hearing this, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor said:
"Hahaha, Elder Liu, there’s no need to be so polite. Since Lord God Emperor Ye is busy, we’ll just make ourselves comfortable and won’t bother him. We can talk tomorrow."
"Yes, thank you for your understanding, Heavenly Dragon Emperor. I have already arranged accommodations for all the Imperial Lords and their accompanying disciples. After you finish your meal, I will take you to your lodging. My Imperial Lord said that he must entertain the Imperial Lords well tonight, and tomorrow he will personally come to discuss the Grand Competition matters with all of you."
The green-robed Elder Liu said.
Subsequently, under his arrangements, the Imperial Lords and Changtian were all properly settled into their accommodations.
At Changtian’s request, Wang Yufan and Liu Wuxie, among others, asked for accommodations with the same conditions as their Imperial Lord, which caused some dissatisfaction from the Heavenly Dragon Emperor.
Finally, Elder Liu sent a message to Ye Lingtian, and at Ye Lingtian’s signal, Elder Liu found a few more rooms with Imperial Lord treatment for Changtian. Liu Wuxie took one room, Wang Yufan and Li Qiye shared one, and Li Meng’er took one.
Inside Wang Yufan’s room.
Li Qiye looked at the furnishings in the room and the delicious food served, appearing as if he had never seen such grandeur. Little Black, on the other hand, paid no attention to these things; its eyes were entirely fixed on the dining table. If it weren’t for its master not having touched his chopsticks yet, Little Black would probably have rushed up to feast.
Wang Yufan sat down at the table and said, "Alright, stop looking and come eat. Finish your meal and rest early; I estimate tonight won’t be peaceful."
Li Qiye, who was still immersed in the luxurious room, instantly snapped back to reality.
He stood beside Wang Yufan and said, "Master, what did you just say about tonight not being peaceful? Is something big going to happen tonight?"
Ni Chang shook his head and said:
"Ni, are you eating? If not, I’ll give it to Little Black. Look where Little Black’s drool is flowing."
"Okay, Master, I’m eating, I’m eating." Li Qiye sat on one side of Wang Yufan and first picked a few bites for Little Black. After all, even though Little Black hadn’t transformed into human form yet, Li Qiye knew that Little Black had been by his master’s side for a very long time and was arguably the one who understood his master the most.
Watching Li Qiye pick some delicious food for him, Little Black transmitted:
"Not bad, not bad, you kid are promising! You know to pick a few bites for your Dog Brother before eating. Not like your Senior Brother, who always tries to snatch food from me."
"What are you saying, Dog Brother? Dog Brother will always be my Dog Brother." Li Qiye replied.
Meanwhile, Wang Yufan felt speechless at their exchange.
After they finished eating, Li Qiye and Little Black were already lying down asleep, while Wang Yufan was in a meditative state.
As the sky gradually darkened, two figures moved and flickered, heading towards the direction where Wang Yufan and the others were staying.
The arrivals were none other than the Heavenly Dragon Emperor and the Martial Ascendancy Sovereign.
"You said that the Extreme Dao Emperor Lord specifically requested three rooms tonight; was it for those few prodigies?" the Heavenly Dragon Emperor asked.
"I think so, otherwise the Extreme Dao Emperor Lord wouldn’t attach so much importance to them," the Martial Ascendancy Sovereign replied.
"Hmm, so let’s go take a look and see what kind of young talents can cause such a stir throughout the entire Dao Realm," the Heavenly Dragon Emperor said.
The first room the two went to was Liu Wuxie’s. As soon as they reached the area, Liu Wuxie had already sensed them. He smiled slightly and made no movement, simply sitting quietly on his meditation cushion.
When they arrived outside Liu Wuxie’s room, a surge of divine sense directly penetrated the room, revealing Liu Wuxie sitting inside.
Seeing this, both of them exchanged glances, feeling somewhat stunned. This was not what they had expected. What was the Extreme Dao Emperor Lord up to? Inside was an old man in white.
Both of them fell into self-doubt. Could it be that those so-called prodigies were all old men, not youths?
The Heavenly Dragon Emperor still found it hard to believe, so he used his divine sense to look again. This time, he directly began to scan Liu Wuxie’s entire body, wanting to know what realm Liu Wuxie was in. But no matter how he looked, he couldn’t sense Liu Wuxie’s strength. It felt as if just an ordinary old man was sitting inside.
The Heavenly Dragon Emperor shook his head, finding it unbelievable. The Martial Ascendancy Sovereign also probed once, with the same expression as the Heavenly Dragon Emperor.
"How about we go look at the other two rooms? This one just has an old man with no cultivation. Or perhaps this old man’s cultivation has already reached the God Emperor Realm, which is why we can’t sense it. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be impossible to sense. Since the Extreme Dao Emperor Lord was willing to specifically request a room, it means this person’s identity is definitely not simple," the Heavenly Dragon Emperor said.
After listening, the Martial Ascendancy Sovereign said, "You’re right, but we came here this time to watch the disciple competition. Even if the Extreme Dao Emperor Lord has an unusual relationship with this old man, it shouldn’t be like this. I find it hard to believe that this elder’s strength is at the God Emperor Realm. Let’s go, let’s check the other two rooms."
Hearing that the Martial Ascendancy Sovereign’s thoughts were basically the same as his own, the two then swiftly headed towards Li Meng’er’s room.
