Qi Tian Holy Capital, one of the eighteen heavenly main cities of Qingxiao Continent, one of the three most central heavenly main cities, and also the most vast main city in terms of area within Qingxiao Land.
Lin Feng and the others rode an ancient sailboat, traveling through the void, arriving at Qi Tian Holy Capital. Strands of ancient aura rushed toward them. The continuous buildings below exuded an even more archaic atmosphere, as if they had been passed down through even longer ages and seemed exceptionally well-preserved, untouched by the devastation of great battles.
In the world of martial arts, battles could break out anywhere, and the destructive power of those experts was terrifying. Therefore, buildings in the martial world were constantly being renovated. It was rare to find truly ancient architectural clusters that exuded an aura of antiquity from their very bones. Yet Qi Tian Holy Capital truly possessed such places, and many of its buildings were formed from extremely large plots of land connected as one whole, like a kingdom.
"Is this the cluster of imperial dynasties?" Lin Feng murmured softly. Qi Tian Holy Capital had once been a holy dynasty, a complete whole. Although it had later fragmented, it still differed from other heavenly main cities. They had split into pieces, yet many imperial dynasties still ruled over Qi Tian Holy Capital. Even when ancient saint clans and sects later rose simultaneously, they did not affect the standing of those imperial dynasties. Therefore, although Qi Tian Holy Capital was the most vast heavenly main city in terms of area, its individual components were absolutely inferior to Holy City Central Continent. It consisted more of those ancient imperial dynasties of various sizes, each existing as a whole within this holy capital. Even declining minor dynasties still possessed profound foundations, still maintained the pride of an imperial dynasty, unwilling to disband, preserving the final dignity of their dynasty. They had once been among the rulers of the Qi Tian Holy Dynasty.
"Yes, this is the cluster of imperial dynasties. Those vast, boundless kingdoms are each an imperial dynasty. It can be said that Qi Tian Holy Capital is composed of countless empires. Of course, an imperial dynasty is far beyond what an empire can compare to." The young man from Tianci Dynasty said in a low voice. As the envoy who had invited Lin Feng and the others, he naturally accompanied them.
"Do not fly over the imperial dynasties from above. Their dignity does not allow anyone to trample upon it casually, not even in the clouds high in the sky." The young man guided Lin Feng's direction. Just as the other party had said, Lin Feng had the illusion that he was crossing one empire after another. Those imperial dynasties encompassed everything, just like powerful empires.
After a long time, the young man pointed to a vast, boundless imperial dynasty ahead and said to Lin Feng, "That is Tianci Dynasty. Let us descend."
"Alright." Lin Feng nodded slightly, attracted by the imposing manner of the imperial dynasty. The lineage of the holy dynasty passed down from ancient times still stood tall in Qi Tian Holy Capital, maintaining its pride.
Tianci Dynasty was heavily guarded, but Lin Feng and the others passed through unimpeded, stepping into the imperial dynasty and traveling forward, heading toward the depths of Tianci Dynasty. One imposing palace after another drifted past before their eyes. The armored guards walking within the imperial dynasty were all powerful figures at the Martial Emperor Realm, causing him to sigh inwardly. In a small world, a Martial Emperor could dominate an empire, but in an imperial dynasty, Martial Emperors were merely ordinary guards.
"Where are we going?" Lin Feng asked the envoy.
"For now, I will temporarily settle all of you at the Saint Emperor Consort's residence. The Saint Emperor Consort will host a welcoming banquet for you. Rest for a few days. After all the other parties have arrived, the Saint Emperor Consort will arrange for everyone to go together to meet the Saint Emperor, and at the same time, hold a banquet to welcome you. During these days, I will be at your disposal at any time. If you wish to explore Qi Tian Holy Capital, I can lead the way."
Although this envoy appeared very young, his speech was very gentle and polite, treating people with kindness, making those around him feel comfortable rather than uneasy.
"Saint Emperor Consort!" Lin Feng murmured softly, thinking to himself that this ancient imperial dynasty was indeed different. For them to come here, they were first received by the Saint Emperor Consort.
After some time, the envoy brought Lin Feng and the others to a residence that was both grand and elegantly refined. Lofty pavilions and halls, small bridges over flowing water, green mountains and bamboo groves, cascading waterfalls—it was like a poem or painting.
The envoy announced their arrival. Before long, a group of figures flew through the air toward them. The leader was a woman with delicate features, elf-like eyes sparkling with a unique radiance, and an aura of nobility emanating from her. This woman was very young. By her side were several people clad in black armor. Their armor was fierce and sharp; just one glance would make one feel an overbearing momentum rushing toward them.
At this moment, the young woman surveyed the group, revealing a strange expression. She glanced at the envoy, who then stepped forward, slightly bowing, and said, "Princess."
"Are these the people you invited from Holy City Central Continent?" The woman addressed as Princess spoke calmly, her gentle voice making one feel very comfortable. Even though you could clearly sense the noble aura about her, there was no sense of oppression whatsoever.
"Reporting to the Princess, these four people—Lin Feng, Hou Qinglin, Sword Blind, and Meng Qing—are four of the top five on the Heavenly King-Sealing List of War King Academy in Holy City Central Continent. The other person should also have arrived," the envoy replied.
"All of you are so young, yet you occupy the top five positions on the Heavenly King-Sealing List. Truly impressive. Having traveled thousands of miles to come here, you must be tired." The young woman revealed a smile, slightly bowing to Lin Feng and the others to express her respect.
"Princess, I'm afraid you are no worse than us," Lin Feng said with a smile. This woman was at the peak of High-rank Emperor Realm, and from her beautiful eyes, one could see no emotion. Everything about her was so gentle and casual. She had a noble temperament but showed no hint of arrogance. A person like this was far from what Yu Jing and her ilk could compare to.
"When the Princess was at Mid-rank Emperor Realm, she had already comprehended Dao Intent. Now at the peak of High-rank Emperor Realm, coupled with her profound understanding of powerful Dao Intent, she is an outstanding figure of this generation in Tianci Dynasty. Naturally, she is no worse than you. If she were to go to War King Academy, the number one on the Heavenly King-Sealing List might not be Ji Shang."
The armored young man beside the Princess spoke with a cold aura that seemed innate. Hearing Lin Feng say that the Princess was no worse than them, he felt somewhat disdainful, thinking to himself how inferior War King Academy had become. Four people at the peak of Mid-rank Emperor Realm occupied four of the top five positions on the Heavenly King-Sealing List. Even if they had extraordinary talent and had comprehended the power of Dao, it only showed how poor the others at War King Academy were. Otherwise, if they had also comprehended the power of Dao, how could they lose to people at the peak of Mid-rank Emperor Realm?
"How dare you!" The Princess scolded. Her gaze turned, and suddenly a pressure emanated from her. Those beautiful eyes abruptly became exceptionally sharp, causing the armored young man's expression to stiffen. He stared at her but ultimately dared not meet those eyes directly, lowering his head slightly.
"Apologize," the Princess said coldly.
"Princess!" The armored young man's gaze froze as he looked up.
"Apologize!" The Princess's eyes were like sharp swords, causing the other's heart to tremble slightly. He then looked at Lin Feng and said, "I apologize. Please forgive my disrespect."
"It's fine." Lin Feng smiled faintly, appearing completely unconcerned. However, he heard the armored young man transmit a voice message: "I apologized only because of the Princess's order, nothing more. If Ji Shang doesn't come and only you four from War King Academy are here, then perhaps Tianci Dynasty doesn't need you at all. You should understand that what I said is the truth."
A faint, indifferent smile curled at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth, showing little concern. However, the Princess said to Lin Feng politely, "Lin Feng, please."
After speaking, her gaze coldly swept over the armored young man. Lin Feng's name might be unfamiliar to him, but as the Princess of Tianci Dynasty, how could she not know about the person she might invite? More than a year ago, on the day of the Emperor's List Questioning, Lin Feng had defeated Ji Shang and ascended to the third seat on the Emperor's List. As for now, he should be second, since Ying Cheng had left the Emperor's List. As for the Heavenly King-Sealing List, of course, the first was not Ji Shang, but this Mid-rank Emperor Realm person before her.
A Mid-rank Emperor Realm expert who had forcefully defeated the enfeoffed king Ji Shang—such a person, she had to take seriously. Even she did not have much confidence in defeating Lin Feng, who had not yet reached High-rank Emperor Realm, let alone her guard commander. She knew that if Lin Feng wanted to kill him, it would probably be effortless. She had also heard about Lin Feng killing his way to the Ji Clan of the ancient saint clans. She had once imagined what kind of person Lin Feng was, but she never expected him to be so quiet and gentle.
"Princess, please." Lin Feng extended his hand in a gesture. Then the group followed the ancient path forward. After a moment, they arrived at a ground paved with green jade. Ahead stood a stunningly beautiful woman, a light smile on her face as she looked toward Lin Feng and the others. Her smiling eyes seemed to imprint themselves into one's vision, making it impossible to look away.
At this moment, the armored young men beside the Princess involuntarily lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the noble figure ahead.
Lin Feng's mind trembled slightly, and then he felt as if he were in another void. Meng Qing and the others beside him had disappeared, as if only that peerless beauty remained in his vision.
However, this feeling lasted only an instant before returning to normal. Lin Feng's heart trembled. This woman's strength was formidable. With just one look, she made him feel as if he were in a vacuum, as if heaven and earth had disappeared.
"Welcome, all of you who have traveled from afar." This peerless beauty revealed a captivating smile, her voice carrying a unique charm. Lin Feng and the others stopped, slightly bowing. "Senior must be the Saint Emperor Consort."
"Yes, no need to be formal. Please take a seat." The Saint Emperor Consort appeared exceptionally approachable, speaking to Lin Feng and the others. Then Lin Feng and the rest took their seats on both sides, while the Saint Emperor Consort and the Princess also sat down.
