Chapter 1610
Lifelong City was extremely vast . As the center of authority in the Lifelong Realm, the place where the Lifelong Realmlord was residing, one could very well imagine how prosperous the place is . There was no suspense that this city was the largest one in the entire Lifelong Realm .
Every hundred years, the Lifelong Realmlord would gather the nine world palace lords to Lifelong City . This was also the time the nine world palace lords handed over the collected tributes . For the nine world palace lords, the territories under them had to pay tributes every ten years . As for the Realmlord, he collected the tributes once every hundred years .
Every hundred years, there would be a grand event organized . Not only for experts of the nine world palaces, some of the peak powers in the Lifelong Realm would gather here as well to enjoy the banquet .
As for the date of the grand banquet, it shall begin seven days later .
Because of the soon-to-come grand banquet, Lifelong City was extremely lively during these days . All the various powers in the surroundings came here to present gifts, wanting to use this chance to form connections . After all, only truly powerful clans and sects would have the right to participate . For minor powers and minor characters, they didn't even have the ability to cross the vast distances to come here . They also didn't have enough resources to borrow the use of a teleportation array .
The various governor manors of Lifelong City also got busy . This city was divided into four regions, each with nine prefectures, making it a total of thirty-six prefectures . The governor of each prefecture was the strongest out of all peak-stage immortal emperors . As long as they improved by another step more, they would have the ability to contend against the nine world palace lords for their positions .
The four overseers of the four regions were known as the grand governors . The nine prefecture governors per region had to report to them . Their cultivation bases are all extremely terrifying and were all at the empyrean-level . It was impossible for the Realmlord to be so free and manage everything . These four grand governors were the ones dividing the burden of command, providing help to the Lifelong Realmlord . After all, if the four grand governors weren't strong enough, how could they intimidate and control their subordinates?
For powers that can be referred to as peak powers, this meant that they had an empyrean existing within their ranks . Such characters were above emperors and below world overlords, they can be considered half-step world overlords and were given the title of empyreans . There were also people referring to them as true saints .
From the Celestial Phenomenon Realm to Immortal-Foundation, one had transcended mortality . Regardless of king or emperor, both were immortals . But if one transcends the emperor realm, it would mean that that person will be a step above immortals, entering the path of true supremacy .
Qin Wentian walked on the prosperous streets of Lifelong City . He was dressed in a simple white-colored robe . He removed his mask and showed his true appearance .
At this moment, a terrifying aura gushed forth, causing the air to shake . Qin Wentian glanced over only to see a group of experts exuding an overwhelming tyrannical aura in the distance . They also exuded a sense of sharpness as their eyes gleamed with terrifying light . They were all in silver armor and were mounted on flying demonic beasts . Those who were near them all moved to the side, opening up a pathway for them .
"What an imposing army . " Qin Wentian silently mused . The weakest soldiers in that group were at the peak-stage of the immortal king realm . There were also several immortal emperors within . Such troops could be considered impressive in Lifelong City . If this army appeared in a smaller city like Lifire City, it would definitely shock everyone .
As this army neared Qin Wentian, Qin Wentian stepped to the side as he inclined his head to stare at them . He only saw a pair of eyes exuding icy sharpness looking back at him . This gaze was extremely terrifying, it was like a bolt of lightning that wanted to pierce into Qin Wentian's eyes, as fearsome as an unsheathed sword .
Qin Wentian felt a surge of energy gushing towards him . He frowned and resisted it . The other party narrowed his eyes in surprise, but didn't do anything as the army passed Qin Wentian by .
"Wow, these troops are truly arrogant . " Qin Wentian glanced at their back and mumbled .
"They are the troops of Governor Xiao, they naturally have the qualifications to be arrogant . " A person appeared by his side and laughed in a low voice . Qin Wentian glanced over, it was an old man at the initial-stage of the immortal emperor realm .
"Old sir, the Governor Xiao you are referring to, is he Governor Xiao Yu?" Qin Wentian smiled as he asked .
"Naturally . Governor Xiao is the youngest governor here in Lifelong City . He is a peak-level genius nurtured wholeheartedly by the peak power, the Sword Spirit Sect . His arrogance is famous in Lifelong City but he truly has the power to back it up . Even the Grand Governor regards him highly . This Xiao Yu doesn't even need to give the Grand Governor Face . The Realmlord has also praised him in the past . That's the reason why the troops led by him were all as arrogant as him . "
The old man laughed . It was like he also felt proud to have such a peak-level genius appearing in Lifelong City .
"But I heard that this governor Xiao Yu is not only arrogant, but he is also extremely lustful with many beauties around him . In the past, didn't he force a clan to marry their young miss as a concubine to him?" Qin Wentian laughed . Evidently, he did some research on the powers in Lifelong City, as well as the governors after he came here .
Out of the 36 governors, the news about Xiao Yu gave him the deepest impression . This was a genius from the Sword Spirit Sect . The Sword Spirit Sect nurtured him fully, pushing him to a governor's position but it was clear the ambitions of the Sword Spirit Sect didn't stop here . They wanted the position of one of the nine world palace lords and this wasn't impossible for them . Throughout history, many major powers of Lifelong City had contended for one of the nine esteemed positions and many of them had succeeded before .
