” Li Lingtian greets the City Lord and Elders.
Li Lingtian walked step by step to the center of the hall. He then bowed to the middle-aged man sitting in the center before he cupped his fists and saluted the other elders. He was courteous but neither humble nor respectful.
He did not put on a high profile nor did he lower his status. Even if he was facing a super Martial Emperor powerhouse, he could still do this because this was the dignity of a Saint Alchemist.
“Sir Ling Tian, please take a seat.”
Although Dongheyu felt uncomfortable seeing Li Lingtian’s reaction, he understood that the young man had the right to be proud and had the status to be proud.
Although he was the City Lord of the East River City, his strength was unfathomable and his influence was huge. However, this Saint Alchemist in front of him was an existence that countless experts looked up to. Moreover, he was a figure in the Alchemist Guild. In comparison, he was nothing.
“Thank you, City Lord.”
When Li Lingtian saw an empty seat, he did not hesitate to take it.
Long Da stood beside him, his face expressionless, but the Dragon Roar Battle Halberd in his hand was emitting a faint dragon aura.
Li Lingtian understood that East River City had a total of ten elders, one Castellan and one Deputy Castellan. Naturally, this seat was reserved for him. As an Honorary Elder, he would not sit with the other elders.
The arrangement of the seats was also very particular. They were not with the Ten Great Elders but were below the City Lord. Such a place gave Li Lingtian a seat with no restrictions.
It was not under the jurisdiction of the city lord, but it was under the jurisdiction of East River City. This was the rule of East River City that had to be followed.
” Thank you for the pill you gave me last time. I didn’t expect you to reach such a high level in alchemy. It’s hard to find an alchemy expert like you in the
Divine Martial Continent.”
Seeing that Li Lingtian did not speak after taking his seat and the atmosphere in the hall was somewhat stifling, Dong Heyu started to chat.
” City Lord, you flatter me. The Divine Martial Continent is so powerful. A mere Alchemy Saint is nothing. ”
” A peerless pill is just luck. I don’t have the confidence to refine another peerless pill.”
Li Lingtian replied with a faint smile. He was used to such superficial politeness and naturally would not be pleased with such flattery.
” You’re too humble, Alchemy Saint. The peerless grade Great Cyclic Pellet you refined was peerless twice. This isn’t luck. It’s all thanks to Alchemy Saint’s strength.”
” During this period of time, the small world has produced countless pills. This has contributed to East River City and brought good news to the martial artists of East River City. This is the blessing of everyone in East River City who cultivated in their previous life.”
As a Vice City Lord and a member of the Eastriver family, Eastriver Ling was wary of Li Lingtian’s influence. He could not help but think highly of Li Lingtian when he saw how tactful he was.
Although the young man in front of him was only at the Martial Honored Realm, his alchemy skills were powerful. This powerful alchemy skill was definitely not something that an ordinary Martial Emperor could compare to.
This position had already surpassed the momentum of a Martial Emperor Realm powerhouse.
“Haha, Vice City Lord, you flatter me.”
Li Lingtian was no longer humble. He merely laughed. Since he was invited, he should let the other party speak first if there was anything he needed.
He was not a three-year-old child, so he naturally would not ask passively.
All of a sudden, the ten Elders in the hall congratulated Li Lingtian with compliments. Li Lingtian returned the greetings one by one without leaving a single drop of water behind.
” This time, I invited you here because I have a matter that I need your help
with.”
After a long time, Donghe Yu noticed that Li Lingtian was a man of impeccable integrity and was tactful in his handling of matters. It was completely out of line with his age.
He then recalled that this young man was a Saint Alchemist, a mysterious Saint Alchemist. His mood was naturally incomparably strong. If he wanted to continue wasting time like this, he definitely wouldn’t be able to outlast him.
“City Lord is too polite.”
” I’m an honorary elder of East River City. As long as I can do it, I’ll do my best.” Li Lingtian smiled. He knew that Dong Heyu and the others must have something to tell him. He could not help but voice his thoughts now.
Although his words were very pleasant to hear, he did not say anything. If there was really something, he could completely reject it. It would depend on what it was.
” It’s your first time here, Alchemy Saint. You don’t know much about the Tianhe Region.”
■■ There are four major cities in the Tianhe Region. The East River City is the weakest, but the truly powerful one is the Tianhe Region. The Tianhe Region is the center of the four major cities and controls the entire Tianhe Region.
■■ Every ten years, the four major cities of the Tianhe District will compete.
Naturally, the winner will get more resources.
” It’s time for the Tianhe Zone’s once-in-a-decade gathering again. This is also the day of competition. The competitors are five Martial Sovereigns and five Martial Honors in every big city. Four big cities, plus the four big families of the Tianhe District, each has eight forces competing.”
■’ Although you’re a Revered Martial Artist, your strength is not something that an ordinary Martial Emperor powerhouse can compare to. That’s why I invited you here for this matter in the Tianhe Region.”
Dong Heyu didn’t hide anything and directly told him about the Tianhe Zone. Li Lingtian listened attentively. The smile on his face remained unchanged and no one could tell what he was thinking.
The participants were all supreme Martial Honors and Martial Sovereigns. However, there was a rule that the elders of each city and force could not participate. This way, it could reduce the cheating of the four cities and four families. Moreover, every participant only had one chance and could not participate a second time.
“City Lord, do you think I will participate in this competition?” Li Lingtian pondered for a moment before he looked at Dong Heyu with a calm expression.
Even though he was not afraid of Dong Heyu, this place belonged to Dong Heyu. Moreover, any Martial Emperor powerhouse here could kill him.
No matter what, he had to see what benefits there were in participating in this competition. If there were no benefits, he would not participate.
They should have understood his importance in East River City. If that was the case, they would definitely have some confidence in him if they still chose him to participate.
With the power of East River City, it was easy to find out his identity and strength, as well as some things in the past.
” I believe that you will go, because the competition this time is different from the previous ones. This time, as long as you get the first place, you will be able to become the support of the Tianhe Region. In the Tianhe Region, you will definitely be second only to one person and above all others.
” Moreover, the experts participating in this competition will enter the forbidden area of the Tianhe Region. There are countless treasures and precious medicinal herbs inside. The forbidden area of the Tianhe Region opens once every ten thousand years, but the forbidden items of the Tianhe Region have disappeared for a hundred thousand years. Therefore, no one has entered the forbidden area of the Tianhe Region in the past hundred thousand years. If they can enter, there will naturally be many benefits.
An envious look appeared on Dong He Yu’s face. If he wasn’t the City Lord, he would definitely participate in this competition.
However, as the City Lord, he had lost such an opportunity. Moreover, even the elders had lost the opportunity. This was the first time in 100,000 years that the forbidden land had opened. Any expert would want to enter such a place.
” oh, so there’s such a story behind it. Since it’s a forbidden area that opens once every ten thousand years, why don’t we let more people enter?” Li Lingtian’s expression remained calm but he was curious. Every powerhouse loved to take risks in search of treasures, especially the poor Warriors.
On the contrary, Li Lingtian’s wealth was considered the best in the entire Divine Martial Continent. If one were to include treasures and cultivation techniques, no one in the Divine Martial Continent could compare to him.
‘■ It can be said that there will be 10 Dao Wills appearing every 10,000 years. Some Dao Wills can directly increase one’s realm, while others can increase one’s talent. You should know why only these people can enter.
” in there, as long as one survives, they will basically break through a realm. It’s said that 100,000 years ago, a powerful Martial Supreme directly broke through from Rank Eight Martial Supreme to the Martial Saint Realm.” The more he spoke, the more excited Dong He Yu became. In the end, a trace of regret appeared on his face. This was because he had to miss out on such benefits.
-Has the City Lord confirmed the person who will go this time?”
Li Lingtian looked at Dong Heyu. Since there were five Martial Emperors and five Martial Honors, they must be very powerful beings.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of the quota. In fact, when such a thing happened, many super experts would even fake it and use some methods to obtain the quota.
– It’s been decided. Four Sixth Level Martial Emperors, one Seventh Level Martial Emperor, four Ninth Level Martial Honors, and the last one will be up to you, Alchemy Saint. “
” Of course, you understand that the benefits of you staying in East River City are unparalleled. However, I’ll still leave a place for you.”
As Li Lingtian stared at Dong Heyu, his heart raced. Dong Heyu was not lying at all. With his Divine Soul’s Eye and Soul Extinguishing Spell, no one could hide anything from him.
This Dong He Yu was obviously using this quota to rope him in. If he could get a good ranking, the popularity and status of the East River City would be even higher.
“I believe that there are other people participating besides the four great cities and the four great clans.”
A faint smile appeared on Li Lingtian’s face. This smile was obviously more relaxed than before.
Although these things were very strict, in this world, the strong were respected. There was no fairness at all. It was the same on Hidden Dragon Island and in the Heavenly Devil Canyon.
The current Tianhe Region should be the same. However, although the Tianhe Region was not as large as the Azure Continent, it was much larger than the Azure Continent. Moreover, its power was not something that the Azure Continent and the Azure Continent could compare to.
Even if some other super forces joined in, it was very normal.
Clans from the Azure Continent and the Divine Continent had appeared in the Heavenly Devil Canyon. Now that the Tianhe Region was closer to the Azure Continent, the Black Continent, and the Divine Continent, it was only natural that the shadows of those powerful forces could not be missed..
