I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

The Xuanhuang Tower is located in the center of the city. This tower is like a magnificent palace, with its huge body rising from the ground and soaring into the sky.

The vermilion pillars are thick and upright, supporting the huge eaves.

The gate was so wide that it could easily accommodate more than ten people walking side by side.

The Li family carriage stopped at the entrance, and under countless expectant gazes, Li Weiyang and Wang Ru entered Xuanhuang Tower one after the other.

"I recently stumbled upon an ancient manual in some ruins. The cultivation techniques recorded on it are mysterious and unpredictable. I have been practicing on it for a few days to strengthen my primordial fire!"

"I fought a fourth-tier demon in a dangerous place for three days and three nights, and finally killed it, obtaining its demon core. That was the real opportunity!"

Upon seeing Li Weiyang enter, someone immediately began boasting loudly, hoping to attract the beauty's attention.

Li Weiyang showed little interest as she followed the winding staircase upwards.

Five seats were placed on the top floor, representing the five heads of the city lord's mansion.

Li Weiyang was the last to arrive; all four seats were already occupied.

Seated at the head of the table was a young man, young in age but imposing and extraordinary, dressed in a white robe with deep eyes.

Beside her stood a beautiful woman, dressed in a light blue dress, with long, flowing hair, snow-white skin, and a lively, spirited look in her eyes.

Upon seeing Li Weiyang, the woman couldn't wait to ask, "I heard that you invited someone to the tea party but they refused?"

Upon hearing this, the entire Xuanhuang Tower fell silent, and everyone doubted what they had heard.

Li Weiyang personally invited her, but was refused?!

“Cui Xiuying, you’re quite well-informed.” Li Weiyang did not deny it.

Immediately, most people were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to know who this person was who dared to offend Miss Li like this.

"Whether they come or not is their choice, and it has nothing to do with right or wrong." As a result, Li Weiyang poured cold water on everyone's heads.

Since the parties involved have already stated their positions, it's not appropriate for outsiders to pursue the matter further.

"Now that Weiyang is here, let's begin."

The young man sitting at the head of the table waved his hand, announcing the start of the martial arts tea party.

"The martial arts tea party is not about competing for rankings, but about comparing one's skill in martial arts and the artistic conception."

The young man's voice was as loud as a bell, resounding throughout the entire teahouse.

Zheng Xianfeng is the strongest Sovereign Realm among the five Great Palace Lords.

Of the five great families in the Central Region today, the Zheng family is at its zenith, running rampant and domineering.

As soon as he finished speaking, one after another, the prodigies walked onto the central square, suppressing their cultivation levels and competing in martial arts intent.

After several sparring matches, Li Weiyang lost interest; coming from the Central Region, she had very high standards.

The supreme geniuses from each region rarely catch their eye; the few they do have are familiar faces from the Central Region.

Finally, of the ten who stood out, seven were from the Central Region.

Their gazes met, fixed on the top of the thickest vermilion pillar in the teahouse, where names were inscribed.

Those who left their names at the previous martial arts tea party are all honored, and there are corresponding rewards.

“Under our blockade, the only names that will remain at the top are your rankings,” Choi Soo-young said.

The seats of the five major prefects are in an oval shape, and the ten people below them have to sprint up from below.

The five are at the Dominator Realm, but they don't bully others. They also use martial arts intent, stopping short of causing serious harm.

After it started, one by one they began to rush upwards. Some succeeded, and some failed, leaving their names on the pillar.

Just as this year's martial arts tea party was about to end, a small incident occurred.

The last one to make the final sprint was a cultivator from the Northern Region named Liu Feng, who was full of fighting spirit and passion from the very beginning.

Just as he was sprinting, Zheng Xianfeng kicked him out, using the power of the Dominator Realm to send him crashing down.

“I forgot to control my strength for a moment, let’s try again next time,” Zheng Xianfeng said coldly.

Everyone could tell it was intentional, and they guessed that Liu Feng and this Lord Zheng had a grudge.

Liu Feng was baffled and felt incredibly frustrated; he didn't know this person at all.

However, the people of the Central Region remembered something: a few months ago, a court master of the Zheng family went to the Northern Region to compete for the elixir of immortality, but died in the Dragon Treasury and did not bring his body back.

Zheng Xianfeng may have taken his anger out on this person from the Northern Region, but some people think that's too petty and unlikely.

Regardless, only nine people will emerge victorious from this martial arts tea party, and they will be able to freely enter and exit the Xuanhuang Hall to cultivate through the Xuanhuang Mother Qi.

"There's no time like the present, let's set off now," Zheng Xianfeng said.

As soon as the words fell, the Xuanhuang Hall in the City Lord's Mansion, used for cultivation, erupted with rich Xuanhuang Mother Qi, forming a bridge of light in the air that connected to the Xuanhuang Tower.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, nine figures walked onto the bridge and headed towards the Xuanhuang Palace.

The streets were packed with people, all with envious expressions. They knew that these nine people would be able to absorb the Primordial Qi for the next six months.

"It's a pity I'm not good at martial arts conception, otherwise I could have competed at the tea party."

When the group arrived at the city lord's mansion, they found that the Xuanhuang Hall was already occupied.

“Lord Zheng, someone just bought a huge amount of Xuanhuang Mother Qi and is cultivating in the Xuanhuang Hall.”

"Hmm? Who is it? Is it some senior?" Choi Soo-young asked immediately.

Only those at the Dominator Realm can afford to consume such a large amount of Xuanhuang Mother Qi.

“No, he’s a young Sovereign Realm expert,” the city lord’s mansion staff immediately replied.

"what?!"

Everyone was stunned and couldn't understand.

Firstly, the vast amount of Xuanhuang Mother Qi is extremely expensive, and only a divine son-level figure from a powerful force could afford to be so extravagant.

Secondly, even a Supreme Realm cultivator cannot absorb so much Xuanhuang Mother Qi; it would cost a lot of money.

Even if we take a step back and assume that someone at the Supreme Realm can truly absorb a massive amount of energy, they must be a prodigy in their own right and be qualified to attend the Martial Arts Tea Party!

Thinking of something, Li Weiyang inquired about the appearance of the person from the City Lord's Mansion and confirmed that it was the person she had invited earlier.

"So, instead of attending the martial arts tea party, they came here to unleash a massive amount of Xuanhuang Mother Qi?!"

I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out at all.

"Which region does that person come from?" Zheng Xianfeng asked.

"Northern Territory."

“Coming from a barren land, let’s see how big his appetite is and how many source stones he can waste.”

The crowd waited outside the Xuanhuang Hall to see what would happen.

The Xuanhuang Grand Hall activated a massive amount of Xuanhuang Mother Qi, and no one else could enter or participate; they could only wait until it ended.

Outside the Xuanhuang Hall stands a Xuanhuang measuring rod with fine markings and mercury inside, allowing for real-time monitoring of the consumption of Xuanhuang Mother Qi.

"How long has he been inside?" Zheng Xianfeng asked.

"A quarter of an hour."

Zheng Xianfeng frowned. The measuring stick showed that one-tenth of the material had been absorbed, and the progress in just a quarter of an hour was remarkably smooth.

"It's fast at the beginning, but it gets harder as you go on. There's an upper limit to the Supreme Realm."

Cui Xiuying noticed that he was unhappy and immediately tried to comfort him.

That's true; that's how it is for normal cultivators.

Unfortunately, they encountered someone who was not a normal cultivator.

Limitless Divine Skill, without limits!
