Chapter 548 - The Talent-Gathering Hall (1/2)

The eyes of the Third Prince and Qin Nan glistened as they both turned around.

In the garden area, Uncle Lin moved rapidly at the speed of lightning and grabbed the beam in his hand, which turned out to be a letter. He took a glimpse at it and said in a soft tone, “Third Prince, First Prince is holding a feast at the Talent-Gathering Hall today, and he is inviting all princes and princesses, along with the geniuses they have invited.”

“Got it.” The Third Prince wore a calm expression.

Seeing this, Qin Nan could not help but exclaim—it appeared that the Third Prince had a relatively low status in the eyes of his siblings. They were sending the letter to him by throwing it into his residence, with no sign of etiquette.

“Let’s continue to enjoy our drinks.” The Third Prince smilingly said to Qin Nan.

“Sure.”

Qin Nan nodded his head and they started drinking again.

In the time following, Qin Nan and the Third Prince discussed about the various significant events that had taken place in the Eastern Continent, including news regarding the ‘lower district’s Qin Nan’.

“Now that the Four Great Factions are hunting Qin Nan, anyone who is able to provide information regarding him or his companions’ whereabouts would be granted eight Sacred Weapons, and become Progenitor Wen Dao’s disciple. I’m keen to see how heroic this Qin Nan actually is, to be able to stir such a great chaos.” The Third Prince exclaimed.

Qin Nan remained calm and said with a smile, “I would like to meet him too.”

The two continued to chat. Even Qin Nan could not help but feel impressed. As expected of the Third Prince, his vision of the bigger picture and knowledge greatly surpassed himself.

The night soon arrived.

Each tile and brick of the palace was emitting a golden glow, allowing the huge palace to be brightly illuminated.

Qin Nan and the Third Prince headed to the Talent-Gathering Hall together.

The Talent-Gathering Hall was the place specifically built to warmly receive the geniuses from all places. Furthermore, there were also the Highness-Gathering Hall and the Sacred-Gathering Hall to receive cultivators of the Martial Highness Realm and the Martial Sacred Realm respectively.

After spending the whole afternoon talking to the Third Prince, Qin Nan had a clearer grasp of the Eastern Continent’s situation.

Martial Sacred Realm experts were considered the strongest presence, and there were only a few of them.

Martial Highness Realm experts were the top battle force in the Eastern Continent. Many from the Four Great Factions and a few rogue cultivators had reached this realm.

Martial Dominator Realm experts were considered average. Most young geniuses had reached this stage.

Furthermore, Qin Nan had a better understanding toward the young talents of the Four Great Factions. Among them, some of the seeded geniuses with eighth-grade Di ranked Martial Spirits had achieved the Martial Highness Realm.

However, in the Sky-Scorching Ancient Kingdom, there were not many eighth-grade Di ranked geniuses. Currently, there was only Di Fengyun.

“The Eastern Continent should not be underestimated. My current strength is only at the peak Martial Dominator Realm. I must acquire the Dragon Abyss Fruit from the Dragon Abyss Mystical Ground to improve my cultivation and reach the Martial Highness Realm as soon as possible. Only after becoming a Martial Highness will I have the chance to take part in the battles between the Four Great Factions…”

Qin Nan mumbled to himself as his goal became clearer.

Following this, the two arrived at the Talent-Gathering Hall.

It looked like the giant shell of a tortoise from afar, sitting firmly on the ground covering an area of a few hundred li, while its walls emitted a dull purple glow, resulting in a magical sight.

It was said that this Talent-Gathering Hall was built according to the silhouette of the Ocean Protector Black Tortoise.

After passing the guards at the entrance and stepping into the hall, a surging heat could be felt.

The hall did not have a leading seat. Fiery jade tables were placed at the sides, each surrounded by servants and chefs preparing and cooking the food.

Meanwhile, the princes, princesses, and geniuses from all places were seated at the tables.

As soon as the Third Prince and Qin Nan arrived, they immediately grabbed the attention of the crowd.

“Third Brother!”

“Third Brother, you’re here.”

“Come come, come sit beside me.”

“……”

Among the more than thirty princes in the hall, only a few stood up and greeted Third Prince warmly.

The royal family emphasized the status of its members. Even though the Third Prince was ranked third in the family and should be seated at the third spot on the right, he was allocated to the eighth seat on the left.

“Fifteenth Prince, Nineteenth Prince, and Thirty-First Prince!”
