Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4546  The feast begins

The four ”people” traversed through the universe, heading towards Xuanwu Planet.

With their speed, it only took them eleven days to reach this planet.

How lively!

This was the first impression that the four of them had. Most of the people here were young people, and their cultivation levels varied. There were cultivation levels ranging from Foundation Building Tier to Spiritual Transformation Tier, but there was a lack of Sect Masters. After all, those who could cultivate to Sect Master-level at such a young age naturally belonged to the category of the strongest prodigies of the current generation.

Were they all here to watch the excitement?

Ling Han gritted his teeth. These people were really too idle, werenʼt they?

”Little Han, looks like youʼre very popular. So many people have come to see you,” the large black dog said.

”To see you make a fool of yourself,” the little azure dragon added.

”Hu, hu!” The pervert pig laughed.

A vicious expression appeared on Ling Hanʼs face, and he said, ”Are the three of you asking for a beating?”

In the whole world, only he would dare to say such words to Venerates, and only he would have that kind of strength and confidence.

The large black dog and the others all covered their mouths and laughed. It was really rare to see Ling Han suffer.

There were still about three monthsʼ time until the grand feast hosted by the Imperial Clans.

Alright, they could only wait.

”Whereʼs Brother Monkey?” Ling Han asked.

”Brother Monkey went to a dangerous place to find natural treasures, hoping that they can help you break through the restrictions of heaven and earth,” the large black dog said seriously.

Brother Monkey!

Ling Han felt a warmth in his heart. Even though this world was realistic, materialistic, and in such a chaotic state, there were still sincere people like Brother Monkey, who brought him a sliver of sunshine and some warmth.

”What cultivation level is Brother Monkey at now?” he asked again.

”Eight-star Venerate Tier.” The little azure dragon pondered for a moment, then said, ”In any case, Grandpa Dragon canʼt beat him.”

Brother Monkeyʼs aptitude was also at the level of the Golden Generation. It would be strange if the little azure dragon could defeat him.

However, though an eight-star Venerate was practically the strongest below Saint Tier, Brother Monkey had gone to a desolate land of this universe. Who knew what kind of dangers he would encounter.

”I hope Brother Monkey can return safely,” Ling Han said. In truth, he was already confident that he could break through to Venerate Tier. There was absolutely no need for Brother Monkey to take such a risk.

The four of them discussed cultivation. Though Ling Hanʼs cultivation level was slightly inferior, he had long since formed his own path. Not only was he qualified to discuss dao with the large black dog and the others, he could even turn around to guide them.

This Sect Master was probably the only one in the world who could guide Venerates.

The little azure dragon already saw its own path, so it wouldnʼt be difficult for it to walk it out. However, the large black dog and the perverted pig were slightly inferior. At least, they were still at a loss.

Day after day passed, and the four of them improved.

Finally, three months had passed, and the day for the Imperial Clan banquet was already close at hand.

At this moment, a large number of Imperial Sons arrived.

It was not just the Golden Generation, but also the Silver Generation and the ordinary Imperial Sons. Though Ling Han had killed batch after batch, the number of Imperial Clan elites was still considerable, so there were naturally even more that were alive than dead.

Now, these Imperial Sons were all in high spirits.

Yin souls invaded, and though it caused great damage to normal people, those like the Imperial Sons belonged to the category of benefiting from the invasion. Every single one of their cultivation levels had improved greatly.

Right now, the Golden Generation elites had all advanced to the Venerate Tier. Meanwhile, the Silver Generation elites were all standing at the same level as the high-ranking Sect Masters. In fact, even the ordinary Imperial Sons had quite a number that had successfully attained Sect Master-level.

By now, it was already the younger generation that would be taking the lead. As long as anyone could advance into Saint Tier, it would mean the full beginning of the replacement of the older generation with the younger generation.

Ding Shu, Origin, Myriad Dao and the others had also received invitations, and had all come here.

What made them luckier than Ling Han was the fact that they all had the backing of an Imperial Clan, which caused the Imperial Sons to clearly be envious and have killing intent, yet they did not dare to use their powerful background to snipe Ding Shu and the others.

If Ling Han wanted to, he could have married Chi Menghan many years ago. In that way, he would have the backing of the Donglin Imperial Clan. The other Imperial Sons would only be able to battle him in the open.

However, if he were to marry Chi Menghan under such circumstances, it would be equivalent to asking for help from the Donglin Imperial Clan. He would definitely have to pay a price.

How could Ling Han be living under someone elseʼs roof?

To him, the purpose of cultivation was freedom. How could he possibly give up a portion of his freedom for the sake of survival in exchange for the help of the Imperial Clan?

Now, it was indeed slightly more difficult for him, but wasnʼt his growth better than anyone elseʼs?

Only after experiencing hardship and cold could plum fragrance be tempered.

Another few days later, the banquet of the Imperial Clans began.

This wasnʼt a one-day event. Instead, it would be held continuously for half a month. During this time, there would be martial arts competitions and spars, and the climax was when the Donglin Imperial Clan chose a husband for Chi Menghan.

For an Imperial Daughter like Chi Menghan, who possessed aptitude that was comparable to the Golden Generation, there would definitely be a queue of Imperial Sons who wanted to marry her.

The Donglin Imperial Clan was powerful enough by itself, so they definitely didnʼt want to simply form an alliance through marriage with another Imperial Clan. Instead, they needed the person that would form a matrimonial alliance with Chi Menghan to be someone who could become Emperor!

Now that there were so many prodigies, it seemed like many people had hopes of becoming Emperor. Thus, the Donglin Imperial Clan needed to carefully consider and observe.

This banquet did not set up any barriers for those who came. Anyone could attend, but if they did so, they would only be able to stand in the outer circle. If they wanted to watch the sparring match from a close distance, or if they wanted to become acquainted with the Imperial Sons, they would first have to prove their own strength.

Otherwise, if just anyone could enter into the inner circle, the grade of this banquet would be endlessly dragged down.

Ling Han and the others arrived at the outer circle first.

The banquet was held in a valley. It was surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there was only one path through which one could enter. Anyone could stand at the top of the mountain and look down into the valley. As long as one had stepped onto the Celestial Path, this bit of distance was naturally no problem.

If one wanted to enter the valley and participate, they would at least have to have the cultivation level of Sect Master.

…The hierarchy of martial arts was the strictest. If a group of Sect Masters and Venerates spar with each other, would Spirit Transformation Tiers and True Self Tiers be qualified to participate?

Thus, most people were watching from the top of the mountain. In any case, there was no obstruction to their vision. Furthermore, the Sect Master and Venerate Tier-level battles usually took place in the skies, and they were actually closer.

On the first day, the atmosphere was harmonious. The Imperial Sons were all very polite, and no one made a move. On the second day, one spar after another officially began.

Actually, it was not just the Donglin Imperial Clan. There were also a few Imperial Clans that wanted to choose a husband for their Imperial Daughter. Thus, the Imperial Sons all worked hard to perform. Putting aside whether they were willing or not in the end, being able to gain the notice of other Imperial Clans was equivalent to a massive affirmation.

When one had reached heights like they had, they naturally were all aiming for the position of Emperor, and if one wanted to become Emperor, natural talent and luck were both necessary.

Affirmation from others had a boost to luck, and would mysteriously have an effect on it.

At first, everyone only watched the battle quietly, and then discussed who was stronger, but by the fifth day, the topic of conversation had changed to Ling Han.

”Yi, why hasnʼt Ling Han appeared yet?”

”Thatʼs right. Does he really not dare to come?”

”Hehe, who would be so stupid? He clearly knows that he would be embarrassing himself, yet still came here to make a fool of himself?”
