Chapter 484: A Different Kind of Temptation!
Grand Universe Eternal Realm, Mansion of Zhoutian City’s City Lord.
A man with an honest and upright face had been standing and looking at the sky outside for a long time.
“Husband, you’ve been standing for quite a while now, why don’t you come back inside to rest?”
An extremely beautiful woman draped a piece of clothing on the man’s back.
“Ah~ It’s been so long since an Eternal Emperor emerged in our Zhoutian City, be it among the cultivators within the city or the emperors who ascended here.”
Qin Cheng shook his head and said.
Although he had attained the Path of Eternity, the waters above eternity were deep; who wouldn’t wish to make more progress where they already stood?
Take him, for example, he was still only at the Seventh Level of the Eternal Realm, not yet at the Ninth Level. Even reaching the Ninth Level, there were levels above, Peak, Limit, Unprecedented, Unbeatable.
He even heard at a gathering once, an emperor from the Unbeatable realm saying that above the unbeatable, there exists the Nine Heavens Realm.
Those emperors of the Nine Heavens Realm were the ones who set the rules in the World of Eternity.
Seen that way, he was at most a small sesame official of the Ninth Grade, handling those under the Eternal Realm, having to consider whether he could afford to provoke those with backers.
Like the Wang Family of Zhoutian City, which is a branch of the eternal Wang Family in the Grand Universe Eternal Realm, a tiny branch that wasn’t even considered a mainline.
Yet even so, the Wang Clan Clan Leader of Zhoutian City was an Eternal Emperor. Although his strength was not as great as his, being only at level five of the Eternal Realm, it still wouldn’t be advisable to offend him, given the backing behind Qin Cheng.
After all, the patriarch of the Wang Family was an unbeatable emperor.
Moreover, it was rumored that the contemporary genius of their Zhoutian City’s Wang Family, Wang Long, had caught the attention of a major figure from the main Wang Family branch, who intended to take him as a disciple.
Wang Long was also impressive; at his young age of only 20,000 years, he had attained the Eternal Realm, drawing the attention of the Wang Family’s main branch.
In recent days, returning from the main branch of the Wang Family, all influential families and powers of Zhoutian City had gone to pay their respects, even he himself could not avoid sending a sizeable gift.
Being the City Lord was tough, desiring stability in Zhoutian City was even more difficult with the balancing act of multiple forces wearing him out.
Moreover, within the City Lord’s Mansion, aside from himself, there was no one else in the Eternal Realm.
Although there were two who were comparable in strength to the Eternal Realm, they were only at half-step eternity, it was nothing to write home about.
Half-step Eternity was ultimately not the Eternal Realm, but merely the Supreme Realm.
Thinking of this, Qin Cheng felt exhausted. He wondered why on earth he had ascended here in the first place; couldn’t he have been content ruling the roost in the lower world, instead of being the tail of a phoenix here?
If given another chance to choose, he definitely would not opt for Ascension to the World of Eternity.
But fortunately, heaven had given him a wife who was understanding and keenly aware of the warmth and coldness of life.
Qin Cheng embraced the woman beside him.
…
On the east side of Zhoutian City was a mansion that occupied nearly a tenth of the city. Right now, outside the mansion, there was a bustling scene of carriages and horses, people coming and going incessantly, with endless entrances and exits.
“Yang Family Head presents congratulatory gift, five Enlightenment Pills!”
“Independent strong cultivator Wujiang presents congratulatory gift, a divine medicinal herb!”
…
The servants of the Wang Family were calling out one after another, with pride written all over their faces.
“The Emperor of Bibo City, Qianling, presents congratulations, a Lower Grade Eternal Divine Weapon!”
Just then, another servant’s voice rose, startling all the onlookers.
“An Eternal Emperor! Bibo City is not near our Zhoutian City at all, yet even Bibo City’s emperor has sent gifts. Could it be that this time the Wang Family is on the rise?”
“Who’s to say otherwise? Just the other day, that genius of the Wang Family returned from the main branch, I heard even the Executors from the main branch came back with him, now the Wang Family’s prestige in our Zhoutian City will likely soar.”
“After all, even the City Lord has sent gifts.”
For a moment, all eyes were on the man dressed in a blue robe, thin in appearance, and middle-aged.
“Hahahaha~ Brother Qianling honouring us with your presence truly brings glory to my Wang Family.”
The Wang Clan Clan Leader, Wang Qian, appeared outside the Wang Mansion, cupping his fists towards Qianling with a smile on his face. This was a big win for their Zhoutian City Wang Family.
Even though he was only at level five of the Eternal Realm, those with discerning eyes could see that his son, Wang Long, might aim for the Peak or even stronger in the future.
Thinking of this, Wang Qian naturally felt quite proud, as the saying goes, great spirits come with joyous occasions.
“Brother Qianling~please!”
“The two Executors from my Wang Clan’s main branch happen to be here, let me introduce them to Brother Qianling.”
Emperor Qianling’s eyes lit up. To establish a connection with Executors from the Wang Clan’s main branch was an opportunity not often found.
“Esteemed sirs, this is Emperor Qianling from the City of Bibo.”
“Brother Qianling, this is Emperor Wang Chen and Emperor Wang Qiong!”
The man and woman seated at the head of the table glanced at Emperor Qianling. The man had reached the Seventh Level of the Eternal Realm, while the woman was at the Sixth Level.
“Emperor Qianling from the City of Bibo, we have long heard of your fame.”
“Please take a seat~”
Wang Chen spoke with a mild attitude, looking at Qianling as he said so.
Qianling clasped his fists and then looked at the young man sitting at the first place below the two main figures.
“This must be the honorable nephew Wang Long. Truly a man of remarkable talents and overwhelming potential. It must not be long before you soar to great heights under the Wang Family’s nurturing.”
“Uncle Qianling overpraises me. There are many geniuses like crucian carp crossing a river in our main branch. I’m just the lucky one who caught an Elder’s eye, nothing more.”
Both Wang Chen and Wang Qiong were very satisfied with Wang Long’s response. Despite his strong talents, he was humble and undiscouraged, sure to achieve great things in the future.
What they didn’t know was that, in Zhoutian City, those who had seen the other side of Wang Long were no longer around.
“Hum~”
Suddenly, a fluctuation emerged from within Zhoutian City, rapidly spreading outwards, and in a blink, all the inhabitants of the city felt it.
“What is this~”
In the Mansion of Zhoutian City’s City Lord, Qin Cheng’s eyes suddenly brightened as he looked in a certain direction—the direction of the Ascension Pool.
At the same time, all the Emperors within the Wang Family also turned their attention toward the Ascension Pool.
“It seems we truly are basking in Wang Long’s limelight. It has been a long while since an Eternal Emperor has ascended here in Zhoutian City. Today we actually get to witness it.”
“Well, if they turn out to be exceptionally outstanding, recruiting them into our Wang Family wouldn’t be a bad idea.”
Wang Chen rose calmly, followed by Wang Qiong. Wang Long and Wang Qian also stood up.
“Show-offs!”
Emperor Qianling couldn’t help but curse internally—these Eternal Emperors still wondering if someone is not outstanding enough, as if they didn’t know the true strength of the Wang Family.
It should be noted that even though the Wang Family Patriarch was one of the unbeatable emperors, the number of emperors in the family wasn’t large. Adding together the main branch, side branches, and lesser branches, there were only scores of them.
Yet, the population of the Wang Family had already reached tens of millions, which was considered a large clan even in the grand scope of the Grand Universe Eternal Realm.
If it were in the Primordial Eternal Realm, based on the number of Eternal Emperors, it would only be equivalent to one of the eight clans in the Ascension Camp—the Green Gate.
At this moment, Luo Xian’er was already soaking in the pool filled with white glowing Ascension liquid.
This feeling was particularly novel.
Her body, already at the peak of Emperor level, yet when it came into contact with the liquid in the Ascension Pool, it surprisingly revealed a look of longing.
“Don’t suppress your desire, this liquid will help you break through.”
Just then, another figure appeared in the Ascension Pool. Ye Feng embraced Luo Xian’er’s delicate body, and under the dampness of the Ascension liquid, the young girl exuded a different kind of allure.
“You bad guy, don’t look!”
Luo Xian’er’s face blushed, as she covered Ye Feng’s eyes.
“Which part of your body haven’t I seen? Really~”
Ye Feng expressed speechlessly.
“You’re still talking, you’re gonna get it now~”
Luo Xian’er’s face flushed a deeper red as she pinched Ye Feng, then ignored him and began her own breakthrough.
