Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

There were many guests, whom Chen Yu could not pay attention to at all, but when he saw that the guests that came were not even at the level of Profound Dark Stage, he could not help but sigh in his heart about the number of experts in the Qin Country.    

    

Judging from the number of people at the tables, there should be around four to five thousand people at the banquet. If this Cheng Ming Palace was big enough, it wouldn't be able to hold all of them.    

    

"Meng Yang!"    

    

Suddenly, a shout rang out diagonally in front of them.    

    

She looked up and saw Ji Ying. She was walking around a few tables.    

    

"Student Ji!"    

    

"I heard you want you to participate in the Martial Competition?"    

    

"Could it be that you're participating as well?" Chen Yu looked at Ji Ying and asked.    

    

Ji Ying shook her head and stuck out her tongue, "With my strength, how can I participate in the competition? Be careful, Lo Zhangqing is very powerful. If it's really no good, then admit defeat! "    

    

Chen Yu shrugged and was speechless.    

    

"Alright, Ying'er, come over!" At this moment, a clear and melodious voice sounded.    

    

Chen Yu looked over when he heard the voice. It wasn't far from here. On the side of the path in the middle of the hall, a middle-aged man in white clothes with a scholarly look was staring at Ji Ying. His eyes were filled with love and love.    

    

Ji Changfeng, Ji Family Patriarch!    

    

"Dad, what's the rush? Why don't we change seats? How about we sit over here?" Ji Ying turned around and said.    

    

"Children's words!" Ji Changfeng said, "How can you change the position of the Duke of Qin's birthday banquet?"    

    

Ji Ying stuck out her tongue and said to Chen Yu, "Let's go, you have to be careful. Don't get beaten to death in front of the hall. Otherwise, it won't be fun anymore!"    

    

Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh as he watched Ji Ying walk towards Ji Changfeng, seemingly deep in thought.    

    

Ji Changfeng looked like an ordinary scholar, but there was no aura emanating from his body. However, Chen Yu faintly felt that this person's strength was unfathomable, not even inferior to that of Tan Dao.    

    

There were so many Deity Entering Stage experts in the capital, he was afraid that he would see many of them at the Duke of Qin's birthday banquet.    

    

The guests continued to gather. Not long later, Chen Yu saw Lei Xiaodao again.    

    

Lei Xiaodao followed a tall and sturdy middle-aged man. The man did not reveal even the slightest bit of his aura, but with a glance, he gave off a heroic vibe that made people feel inexplicably ashamed of their inferiority.    

    

Patriarch of Lei Family, Lei Wanchun.    

    

After that, Chen Yu saw the heads of the ten families one after the other. Just as he had guessed, they were all people with aura as deep as the abyss and unfathomable depths.    

    

The entire hall was filled with guests who either took their seats or conversed with each other. The large Cheng Ming Palace appeared to be bustling with noise and excitement.    

    

As the world flowed by, when it was almost noon, most of the guests had already arrived.    

    

"The Duke of Qin has arrived!" A loud and clear voice came from afar.    

    

The noisy Cheng Ming hall went silent, and then one by one, the guests stood up and looked towards the entrance of the hall.    

    

Looking through the wide main door of the hall, he saw many magic tools and a group of people following them.    

    

In front of the troops, a group of imperial guards had lined up on both sides of the road.    

    

As he was looking forward to it, the giant umbrella finally arrived at the foot of the steps outside the great hall. Under the canopy, a person wearing a profound gold imperial robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a crown made of nine beams.    

    

The Duke of Qin, Ying Wuyou!    

    

Behind the Duke of Qin, there was a long queue. All of the ministers and royal members had an extraordinary demeanor, but under the Duke of Qin's unparalleled majesty, they were all overshadowed.    

    

"We pay our respects to His Majesty the Duke of Qin!" Someone spoke with incomparable respect.    

    

"For the Duke of Qin!" A voice like that of a mountain sounded.    

    

Fortunately, martial artists had their own pride. Especially those with higher strength, the less likely they were to kneel down and kowtow, no one kneeling down to pay their respects.    

    

"Escorts, please rise!" Qin Wang surveyed Cheng Ming Palace with a gaze as deep as the endless void. It seemed as if it carried the majesty of a king, but also a hint of benevolence. He nodded as he spoke.    

    

Then, the Duke of Qin strode to the innermost throne in the great hall.    

    

A long line of people halted behind the Duke of Qin before he entered the hall. Only his subjects, the royal family, and those of sufficient status followed him into the hall.    

    

Chen Yu looked over and saw Third Prince. There were more than a dozen people between him and the Duke of Qin.    

    

Then Chen Yu saw the Seventh Prince, Ninth Prince, and the Eleventh Prince. They all acted obediently and followed him into the main hall.    

    

Under such circumstances, there were too many experts and too many influential people with esteemed identities. Chen Yu had no time to pay attention to them one by one. Aside from the four princes he knew, there were three other people who caught his attention.    

    

The first woman to follow closely behind the Duke of Qin, only half a body's length away. She had a graceful bearing and an unattainable height. Her strength was similarly unfathomable. She wore a phoenix crown, and was dressed in luxurious clothing. Chen Yu didn't need to make too many guesses to know that this woman was the queen, Tantai Yong Rong.    

    

There weren't many rumors regarding the Queen, only that she wasn't a woman of Qin Country and was an assistant of the Duke of Qin.    

    

The second person that caught Chen Yu's attention was a tall and thin old man with a thin face. That old man was following behind the queen. His body was slightly bent and his attitude was very humble, but it was impossible to ignore.    

    

The third prince stood beside a man clad in golden armor. The man's entire body was covered in golden armor, and although his golden armor looked gorgeous, it exuded an ancient yet heavy feeling. Although Chen Yu couldn't see his face nor judge his cultivation level, he knew that this person was the leader of the Royal Guard, Sun Cheng.    

    

The eldest grandson was not a noble surname, but he was able to command the Imperial Guard and was deeply trusted by the Duke of Qin. Although he had three of the five vice commanders under him, they were all from top ten aristocratic families.    

    

These three people attracted Chen Yu's attention the most. As for the other princes, ministers, and left or right prime ministers, whose strengths were similar to the Deity Entering Stage, they were not very eye-catching.    

    

The dancers in the middle of the hall were already prostrating themselves at the sides while the musicians were standing still. The King reached out and took hold of the Queen's delicate hand, and the two ascended the steps to the throne. Under the guidance of the eunuchs, the people behind them entered their respective tables in an orderly manner.    

    

Chen Yu stood behind the table with a complicated expression on his face.    

    

Chen Yu didn't have much yearning towards power, his goal was martial arts. But at this moment, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. His own martial arts achievements were far from being able to compete with the power and influence of the Duke of Qin. It was so insignificant that it wasn't even worth mentioning.    

    

This feeling was not easy to bear.    

    

"Congratulations Your Majesty on your three hundredth birthday. May the Spring and Autumn grow, and may Primordius rule as one!"    

    

The Left and Right Prime Minister simultaneously spoke to the throne.    

    

"Congratulations Your Majesty on your three hundredth birthday. May the Spring and Autumn grow, and may Primordius rule as one!" The unified voice rang out again. The royal family's disciples, ministers, and guests who had yet to sit down bowed simultaneously. Their loud and clear voices joined together, shaking the clouds.    

    

The Duke of Qin stood up and waved his hands in all directions. This King is very happy to receive your congratulations on the birthday of the King of Japan. I hope that all of you will drink to my heart's content and celebrate with me! "    

    

The Left and Right Prime Minister turned to face all the guests again. Prime Minister Shangguan Qi said in a clear voice, "All the guests, fill your goblets!"    

    

All the guests hurriedly poured wine.    

    

"Raise your goblets!" The Right Prime Minister Fan said as he took the wine glass from the servant and raised it.    

    

Everyone in the hall raised their cups.    

    

"Congratulations to Your Majesty on his birthday!"    

    

"Congratulations!" The Duke and Queen of Qin raised their cups and drank it all in one gulp. Only then did the officials and guests drink their fill.    

    

Only then did everyone take their seats.    

    

Next, the Prime Minister of the Left, Shangguan Qisheng, announced the order.    

    

The palace attendants and maids shuttled back and forth between the tables in the great hall, placing down the jade plates and dishes one by one.    

    

He was in a hurry.    

    

Chen Yu looked to the left and right sides of the throne, and found that there were two rows of tables on the top left side that no one was sitting on.    

    

Below the throne, there were many things to be paid attention to. The royal family and ministers were on the right side, while on the left side were the experts from the ten great families.    

    

Chen Yu saw Luo Hantian. He was relatively close to the throne.    

    

After that, there was another series of ceremonies before the music was played and the dancers started dancing again.    

    

Chen Yu felt that the dishes were a bit boring. Luckily, the dishes were covered. Chen Yu picked up the chopsticks and tried them. He felt that the dishes were indeed delicious and that every dish was made with precious materials and was full of spirit energy.    

    

Paired with the spirit fruit and spirit wine, Chen Yu felt that it could be compared to a bottle of Tier 4 pill after this birthday banquet.    

    

After the song was over, the Left Premier stood up and said in a clear voice, "The royal disciples offer a congratulatory gift!"    

    

The queen got up first, took out a shining object and offered it to the king, saying, "Your concubine wishes your majesty good luck in the East Sea, life longer than Nanshan, and entered the realm of Primordius early in the martial way. May the destiny of Your Majesty be everlasting, and the destiny of our nation be everlasting! "    

    

Most of the guests looked at the items in the queen's hands, exclamations resounded in the hall.    

    

Chen Yu saw that the item looked like an Imperial Jade Seal. Under the godly light, runes were formed and it contained a great Dao of heaven and earth.    

    

"Queen's birthday present, Water Cloud Jade Seal!" One of the attendants spoke in a loud voice that resounded through the entire arena.    

    

"It's the Water Cloud Jade Seal!" Beside Chen Yu, Qin Jiming exclaimed.    

    

"Elder Qin, do you know what that is?" Chen Yu asked.    

    

"This is one of the Divine Artifact that Shui Yun Yuan left behind. It is said that it can suppress destiny!" Qin Jiming glanced at Chen Yu and didn't mind giving an explanation for him.    

    

"Similar to Cyan Heaven Jade Seal?" Chen Yu asked.    

    

Qin Jiming nodded his head, "It's just that the Cyan Heaven Jade Seal is the key to Cyan Sky Origin Monarch's cave, while the Water Cloud Jade Seal is not. But when used to attack, it is also extremely powerful, and is a middle ranked Divine Artifact! "    

    

As she spoke, the queen took her place. Another person stepped out from the crowd to offer his birthday wishes to the Duke of Qin.    

    

"His Royal Highness offers a birthday present, one of the 'Heavenly Dragon Dao Scriptures'!"    

    

Another exclamation was heard.    

    

The Heavenly Dragon Dao Scripture was a record left behind by another Mixed Origin Stage expert regarding cultivation.    

    

"Your Highness Third Prince's birthday present, Earth Rank [South Ming Divine King Map]!"    

    

Wu saw Ying Pang appear on the list and presented him with a picture of a golden silkworm.    

    

When this gift was given, many of the guests revealed expressions of shock.    

    

"It's actually an Earth level visualization diagram! Third Prince actually found an Earth level visualization diagram!"    

    

Chen Yu had a fairly good understanding of the visualization diagram now. He knew that the Earth level vision diagram was very rare in Qin Country and most of the vision diagrams that the ten great families hid were only at the Profound level before they reached the Earth level.    

    

The Duke of Qin was very satisfied with this gift. He actually told the attendant to open it.    

    

As the diagram was opened, divine imprints circulated around it. Chen Yu looked over and saw a Divine King sitting alone in the air. Flames surrounded its body and within the flames, a wutong tree towered into the sky.    

    

With just a glance, Chen Yu felt his sea of consciousness shake as if there was a flame that was about to circulate and ignite in his sea of consciousness.    

    

"What a strong divine intent!" Chen Yu was shocked.
