Chapter 139: Meeting in the Imperial Palace

Li Lingtian walked out of the room and looked at the morning sun in the east with a faint smile on his face.
“Young Master, you’re up.”
When Li Xiaoxiao saw Li Lingtian coming out, she greeted him with a polite bow. She then went forward to tidy Li Lingtian’s clothes and prepare him for a bath. These were the most basic duties of a maid.
“Yes.”
Li Lingtian nodded and headed to the washroom. After a simple wash, he was in high spirits.
” Miss Purple Dream is still in the room.”
Li Xiaoxiao said softly. Tang Zimeng had been staying in Li Lingtian’s courtyard during this period.
Li Lingtian nodded and walked toward Tang Zimeng’s room. He pushed open the door and saw Tang Zimeng sitting cross-legged on the couch in meditation.
Tang Zimeng stopped her cultivation when she noticed someone coming in. When she saw that it was Li Lingtian, her face lit up with joy.
“Big brother Ling Tian, you’re up.”
Tang Zimeng pulled Li Lingtian to the bedside and leaned her petite body against him.
” Mengmeng’s cultivation is improving very quickly. She’s actually reached Tier Six Warrior Spirit.”
Li Lingtian could feel her soft and tender body leaning against him. The scent of a virgin’s body wafted into his nose. The fragrance was extremely alluring and his blood vessels immediately surged.
Why didn’t such a peerless beauty make his blood boil?
However, when he discovered Tang Zimeng’s cultivation base, he was shocked. She had actually reached Tier Six Warrior Spirit in such a short time.
” Mmm, Mengmeng gave the Mystic Spirit Blood in her body to Brother Ling Tian, so her cultivation base rose rapidly.”
Tang Zimeng’s little face was flushed red. Li Lingtian naturally did not know the importance of a girl with a Mythical Spirit Body’s blood essence. It was just like a girl’s first time.
Before becoming a virgin, the cultivation of a girl with a mystic spirit body was very slow. Only after the drop of blood essence was taken away would her cultivation increase rapidly. The speed of her increase was terrifying.
She would only give the Mythical Spirit Body’s blood essence to Li Lingtian when she married him in the future. However, she did not expect Li Lingtian to be so injured that he would ask her to give him the blood essence.
Li Lingtian was stunned when he heard Tang Zimeng’s words. Since that was the case, Tang Qingyue and Nangong Mingyue were naturally the same.
What was wrong with him to provoke Tang Qingyue and Nangong Mingyue?
At the thought of this, she was extremely frustrated. She reached out and pulled Tang Zimeng into her arms. She did not know what to do.
The two of them were together, and there was a warmth that they had never felt before.
At noon, Li Lingtian and Tang Zimeng were chatting in the courtyard while Li Xiaoxiao and Qingping were chatting and laughing.
At this moment, Wu Yun’s voice came from outside. “”Young Master, Lord Marquis wants you to go over.”
“Do you know what it is?”
Li Lingtian took a bite of the Spirit Fruit and stood up after asking a few random questions.
“It seems to be an imperial decree.”
Wu Yun bowed respectfully. Li Lingtian was a Tier Three Warrior King now but his strength would make any Martial Arts Grandmaster tremble. This was because Li Lingtian had killed a Tier Four Martial Emperor, Beichen Wuyou, when he was a Tier One Warrior King.
The Martial Emperor was an old monster who had lived for more than three hundred years. In the end, he was also killed by Li Lingtian when he used a forbidden technique.
Furthermore, all the guards and servants in the Marquisdom were extremely respectful to this young master, not to mention Li Lingtian’s current status.
Li Lingtian said a few words to Tang Zimeng and the others before he left the courtyard and headed to the main hall of the Marquis ‘Residence.
When he arrived at the hall, he saw a pair of silver-armored guards standing at the door. In the hall was an old eunuch.
“Greetings, young noble Ling Tian.”
More than thirty Martial King guards bowed respectfully upon Li Lingtian’s arrival. Their faces were filled with admiration.
Li Lingtian’s deeds were often mentioned by the Warrior Ascendant Powerhouses of the Divine Guards. Anyone in Sky Dragon Empire could be provoked except Li Lingtian.
“Greetings, young noble Ling Tian.”
Upon entering the hall, the old eunuch saluted Li Lingtian. He was shocked by the young man’s strength as the entire palace was filled with his deeds.
“Eunuch Gong is too polite.”
Li Lingtian returned the bow.
” His Majesty the Emperor has chosen the Marquis of North Peace. He would like to invite young noble Ling Tian to the Heavenly Dragon Palace for a meeting.”
The palace’s Chief Eunuch Zhou Linhai took out the imperial edict. After reading it out, he casually handed it over to Marquis Pingbei.
When accepting the imperial edict, Marquis Pingbei had to perform the etiquette of monarch and minister, but Li Lingtian did not have to. This was a world where the strong ruled.
Otherwise, the imperial edict wouldn’t have announced that Northern Marquis Ping was inviting young noble Ling Tian.
If Li Lingtian was just a mere Warrior, it would be Northern Marquis Xuan Ping who would be meeting Li Lingtian at the Heavenly Dragon Palace instead of inviting Young Master Ling Tian to the Heavenly Dragon Palace for a meeting.
This was a form of etiquette that even the emperor had to follow. Even the emperor had to invite young noble Ling Tian.
“Thank you, Eunuch.”
Li Lingtian nodded as he replied calmly. Following that, he and Li Suifeng headed to the Imperial Palace. This time, they were going to the Imperial Palace in a beast carriage.
This was status and strength. If they didn’t have strength, the palace wouldn’t have used a special beast carriage to pick them up.
Half an hour later, the beast carriage entered the imperial palace. Li Lingtian and Li Lingtian alighted from the beast carriage. A long red carpet extended all the way to the Heavenly Dragon Palace Hall.
All the guards bowed respectfully when they saw Li Lingtian and Li Suifeng.
Even a Duke did not receive such treatment.
” Marquis Pingbei, young noble Ling Tian has arrived.”
Zhou Linhai shouted loudly. Hundreds of courtiers in the hall turned to look at the palace door. Li Lingtian and his partner walked in confidently.
Li Lingtian was stunned when he saw the people in the hall. This time, they were all generals and not a single civil official.
“Greetings, Marquis Pingbei.”
“Greetings, young noble Ling Tian.”
All the generals saluted Li Suifeng in unison. When they saw Li Lingtian, their faces were filled with admiration as they greeted him politely.
“Greetings, Your Majesty.”
“Li Lingtian greets Your Majesty.”
The two of them stepped forward and bowed to Nangong Haoming. Li Lingtian greeted Nangong Haoming as if he was his peer, just like Li Suifeng did to a sovereign.
“Please sit.”
Nangong Haoming wasn’t the slightest bit dissatisfied. On the contrary, he valued this youth even more. Such a heaven-defying monster was the future of Sky Dragon Empire.
” In this Sky Dragon Empire’s genius competition, Ling Tian’s heaven-defying rise has caused the other three empires to be eyeing him covetously. There’s also the incident at Hidden Dragon Island. Tian Jin Empire and South Mountain Empire have gathered three million troops at the border of Sky Dragon Empire. H
” I’ve received news that the super powerful warriors of Tian Jin Empire and South Mountain Empire have already entered Sky Dragon Empire. One can imagine their ambitions.”
Nangong Haoming waited for Li Lingtian to take his seat before announcing the purpose of the meeting to all the generals.
Li Lingtian sat at the side while the generals in the court discussed the matter. In the end, it was decided that the Four Commanders would be stationed at Sky Dragon Empire’s border city.
Li Suifeng brought his men to the Thunderclap City, because the city was also an important military location. The last time they were sent back, there were countless super experts and soldiers in the city.
On the other hand, Li Lingtian was just a foil. His main purpose was to introduce Li Lingtian to all the generals so that they would not be overwhelmed by the Dragon King Temple.
After the court session ended, Li Lingtian and his son returned to the Marquisdom. Li Suifeng had to go on an expedition immediately, so Li Lingtian was temporarily cultivating at the Marquisdom.
After Li Suifeng went out to battle, the Marquisdom had lost countless guards. Some of the family guards were also brought out by Li Suifeng.
During this period of time, Li Lingtian was extremely relaxed. He cultivated at night and refined some pills to increase Little White and the rest’s cultivation.
Ever since Li Lingtian refined the Tier Four Heavenly Monster Pill, Little White had broken through from Tier Four Level Three to Tier Four Level Four.
The Jade-eyed Beast and Multicolored Beast had made great progress and were now addicted to Li Lingtian’s pills.
The biggest reward was the Silver-winged Flying Dragon’s submission. In the face of the powerful Dragon Energy, the Silver-winged Flying Dragon could only submit and become Li Lingtian’s right-hand man.
Of course, the Heavenly Fey Pill was not without its help. Moreover, it spent most of its time cultivating in the Divine Dragon Ring. Moreover, it had obtained a drop of Little White’s true dragon blood, which made its bloodline purer.
With the shocking amount of dragon energy, the silver-winged flying dragon almost went crazy.
Although the Jade-eyed Beast and Multicolored Beast could not cultivate with dragon energy, they had obtained Little White’s true dragon blood and their bloodlines had mutated. Thus, they had no effect on the dragon energy in the Divine Dragon Ring.
The three demonic beasts were cultivating in the Divine Dragon Ring while Little White was sleeping outside and eating the Heavenly Demonic Pill that Li Lingtian had refined.
After Li Lingtian reached Tier Three Warrior King, Tier One and Tier Two pills were no longer of much use. He could only use Tier Three Void Spirit Pills for cultivation.
Currently, the Void Spirit Pill that he refined was only of high grade. However, based on his understanding of medicinal pills, when he was at Tier 5, the Void Spirit Pill was no longer of much use to him. He had to find a Tier 4 pill formula.
On this day, a violent spiritual energy came from the room, and the spiritual energy spread out like an explosion.
“Sigh, 1 failed again.”
Li Lingtian looked at the medicinal powder in the Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron. It was a precious thousand-year-old herb, but it was nothing much.
The main reason was that he wasted a drop of io,ooo-year-old Stalactite Milk. A drop of io,ooo-year-old Stalactite Milk could completely instantly restore the True Essence of a Martial Ancestor, Martial Emperor, or even a Martial Venerable or Martial Emperor.
He also had two bottles of 10,000 Year Stalactite Milk, and used over ten bottles of 1,000 Year Stalactite Milk. It was absolutely heaven-defying to have so many of such natural treasures.
However, the 10,000 Year Stalactite Milk could only recover half of a Martial King’s cultivation. Even though the 10,000 Year Stalactite Milk could instantly recover all of his true essence, he didn’t want to waste it. He wanted to refine the 10,000 Year Stalactite Milk into a precious pill to use.
“Try again.”
Li Lingtian pondered for a long time as he recalled his failed experiences. He wanted to pick himself up from where he failed.
With that said, the Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron appeared before him. He unleashed the Nine Suns Holy Fire. With his current cultivation, he could use the flames he cultivated to refine other things.
The flames that were cultivated had a more precise control. The success rate of refining pills this way was also much higher. Naturally, the quality was needless to say.
All kinds of medicinal herbs entered the Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron.
The demon beast’s inner core was about to enter the cauldron. More than ten medicinal herbs, inner cores, and blood essence had already fused.
“Tsk.”
With a light sound, the 10,000 Year Stalactite Milk dripped into the Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron.
H
Boom!”
A shocking amount of Spirit Qi quickly surged into the cauldron. Li Lingtian’s expression was extremely serious..
