1616 Di Tian Participating? (2/2)

The Lifelong Realm also wouldn't intentionally make movements to spot for geniuses. This once-per-hundred-years grand banquet was already a good enough platform with the highest probability of true elites emerging. As long as one was a genius, there was no way they would miss this chance. Also, the participants were all at the immortal emperor level. Once they were selected, they would be given high positions by the Lifelong Realmlord, helping him to manage his territories or be in charge of other matters.

”For those who wish to participate, ascend to the platform now.” A figure walked out. This man was a protector of the Lifelong Realmlord and had extraordinary strength. Although his authority wasn't as great as the world palace lords, he was often by the Realmlord's side and his status wasn't in anyway inferior to theirs.

Instantly, numerous figures soared into the air as they appeared on the platform. The vast majority were peak-stage immortal emperors.

Many of them were from the various major powers of the Lifelong Realm, as well as some experts from the territories managed by the nine world palaces. They came all the way here to fight for a chance, if they could enter the top ten, not only would they be rewarded by the Realmlord, they even had the opportunity to be selected for some official positions. Even if they didn't manage to get into the top ten, as long as they were outstanding enough, they still had a chance to make an impression on the Realmlord and who knows, the Realmlord might truly give them some heavy responsibilities in the future.

”Is anyone from our Jialan Clan participating?” Jialan Jiangshan glanced at his clansmen and asked. ”The various powers already sent their experts. You guys better not disappoint me.”

As the sound of his voice faded, five experts instantly stood up from the Jialan Clan as they flew towards the platform. All of them were peak-stage emperors.

Jialan Qiuyue's beautiful eyes flashed as she stared at the experts from the various locations ascending the platform. She felt a stir in her heart, she also felt like participating.

”Qiuyue, your cultivation base is somewhat too low. You can attempt this in the future after you break through to the peak-stage of the emperor realm.” Jialan Yuntian spoke to his granddaughter. It wasn't so easy to jump levels and win, this was especially so considering the experts participating today. Many of them were supreme characters among peak-stage emperors, including quite a few dazzling existences from Lifelong City.

Leaving aside Jialan Qiuyue, with regards to the five from Jialan Clan who flew up, it would be considered a miracle if one of them could make it to the top ten.

”Yes Grandpa.” Jialan Qiuyue had traces of disappointment in her eyes. She then glanced at Di Tian beside her and winked, ”Seems like we can only be spectators this time around.”

”Oh?” A bright light flashed through Di Tian's dark eyes. Jialan Qiuyue suddenly spoke, ”Oh, you still have not told me your purpose in coming to Lifelong City. Is it to take a look at this once-per-hundred-years grand banquet?”

”Nope.” Di Tian shook his head.

”Then what is your purpose in coming here?” Jialan Qiuyue had a puzzled look on her face.

”I'm here to participate in the emperor-level battle.” Di Tian laughed. After that, he stood up, causing Jialan Qiuyue to start as a strange look appeared on her face. ”Di Tian, you wish to participate?”

Jialan Yuntian also turned his gaze to Di Tian. His eyes gleamed with sharpness, Di Tian wanted to participate?

”Mhm, I want to participate in the battle.” Di Tian nodded.

”Grandmaster Di, you rose to fame due to your weaponsmithing abilities. But this is a contest of the martial path. In addition, there are many peak-stage emperors participating and their combat prowess is definitely exceptional. They stand at the peak of the immortal emperor realm and although I don't doubt Grandmaster Di Tian's combat strength, it's a fact that your cultivation base is one stage lower than them. Do you want to reconsider?” Jialan Yuntian tactically advised. Although this was supposed to be a 'sparring' battle and the match would stop once the victor was decided, it was inevitable for there to be accidents, leading to injuries and death. Di Tian was just a mid-stage emperor, even if he could retreat safely, it would still be a blow to his self-esteem if he participated and lost.

”Di Tian, are you serious?” Jialan Qiuyue stared at Di Tian. This fellow might have extraordinary abilities in weaponsmithing but he was ultimately the same as her, a mid-stage immortal emperor. In this fight, divine weapons were prohibited. How would he contend against those peak-level geniuses?

”You don't believe in me?” Di Tian laughed.

”It's not that I don't believe in you. Although your abilities in weaponsmithing are unrivalled, but…” Jialan Qiuyue didn't know what to say.

”I'm going.” Di TIan didn't say anything else. With a flash of his silhouette, he soared into the air and landed on the battle platform.

The appearance of Di Tian caused the people from the Lifire Palace sit up. The eyes of many people gleamed. The major powers of Lifire City naturally knew of Di Tian's name. Experts from the Yan Clan, Liu Clan and Mo Clan were all here today.

Back then, Di Tian refused to accept the challenge issued by Liu Feibai but today, he actually stepped upon this supreme battle platform. Liu Feibai sat among the crowd from the Liu Clan as his expression flickered with uncertainty.

”Is he courting death?” The Purple Moon Immortal Emperor, who sat by the side of the Lifire Empyrean, coldly spoke. She felt extremely unhappy that Di Tian had chosen to throw in his lot with the Jialan Clan.

”Let's take a look at his abilities then.” The Lifire Empyrean calmly spoke.
