Qin Yu raised his head when he heard this. He was quite curious about Di Daotian and wanted to see just how extraordinary this monstrous genius, who was said to have the highest chance of entering the Nine Stars Purgatory, was.
Looking at the young man standing on the platform built in the center of the lake, he couldn't help but carefully size him up.
The man was wearing golden clothes. The material of the clothes looked strange, as if it was made from the fur of some kind of fierce beast. The edges of the clothes were inlaid with purple and gold. It looked luxurious and elegant.
His sword-like eyebrows were slanted upwards, and his angular face exuded an innate domineering aura. His jet-black obsidian-like eyes seemed to contain some kind of magical power, and his tall and straight body was like a pine tree. Although he wasn't tall and sturdy, nor was he robust, he stood alone and exuded a domineering aura that looked down on the world.
There were three purple stars floating between his eyebrows. He looked very mysterious and powerful.
Just as Qin Yu was sizing up Di Daotian, Di Daotian suddenly turned to look at Qin Yu. However, he quickly looked away as if he didn't notice.
"First tribulation of the Immortal Realm and he's already a Three Star Purgatory Cultivator. I can't imagine what kind of inheritance he has." Yan Yin stared at Di Daotian in disbelief.
Qin Yu's heart trembled. His gaze landed on the three stars between Di Daotian's eyebrows. These stars represented a Three Star Purgatory Cultivator?
Di Daotian was only a First Tribulation of the Immortal Realm, but he was actually a Three Star Purgatory Cultivator?
Qin Yu had already figured out the complete division of the Immortal Realm from the books. Just like the Dao Realm, the Immortal Realm was also divided into six stages.
The symbol of stepping into the immortal realm was establishing the Immortal Foundation. The immortal realms could be categorized according to the levels of the Immortal Foundation. The highest level of the Immortal Foundation could give birth to a total of six levels. Every additional level would be accompanied by a tribulation. Hence, it was commonly known as the Immortal Realm Six Tribulations.
In the Ninth Immortal Realm, almost everyone knew how strong a Purgatory Cultivator was. It could be said that a Purgatory Cultivator was at least three times stronger than a Purgatory Cultivator.
Therefore, generally speaking, the First Tribulation of the Immortal Realm corresponded to a One Star Purgatory Expert. Only a small number of people could rely on the First Tribulation of the Immortal Realm to become a Two Star Purgatory Expert. As for those who relied on the First Tribulation of the Immortal Realm to become a Three Star Purgatory Expert, there were only a few since ancient times.
No wonder Di Daotian was said to be the most likely person to step into the legendary Nine Stars Purgatory!
With his current speed, if he stepped into the Sixth Tribulation of the Immortal Realm, he might really become a Nine Star Purgatory Cultivator!
There was no doubt that Di Daotian was perfect in terms of appearance, temperament, background, and potential. He was worthy of being called a genius.
"If this continues, it's hard to imagine what heights he'll reach." Wenren Jingyu couldn't help but sigh.
On the contrary, it was Qi Youlong who was the calmest. He said indifferently, "Although Di Daotian is talented, it doesn't mean that we don't have a chance."
At this moment.
"Today, it is rare for everyone to gather together. I have specially invited Zither Grandmaster Xuan Xin to play a song for everyone.
Everyone, because I'm not feeling well, I'll let Ning Yifan of the Ning Clan, the Soul Refining Ning Clan, propose a toast to the fellow daoists at each table. Let the banquet begin! "Di Daotian, who was at the center of the lake, announced.
"Absorb!!"
"Shi Xianxin??"
"Zither Grandmaster Xuan Xin? She's here too??"
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Soon, the entire scene became chaotic. Everyone's eyes lit up with excitement.
"I didn't expect Di Daotian to be able to invite Shi Xianxin!
That's really a big deal, "the beautiful woman said in shock.
"I'm afraid he prepared it for the Lin Clan's princess. However, the banquet has already begun, but the Lin Clan's princess isn't here." Yan Yin was surprised.
"This is interesting. Di Daotian probably held this banquet to impress the Lin Clan's princess. He even wants to propose to her in public. Who knew that the Lin Clan's princess isn't here."
The white-robed young man transmitted his voice. Di Daotian was too cruel. They didn't dare to offend him, so they could only transmit their voices to discuss.
"I heard that the Lin Clan's princess is eccentric. Once she has decided on something, even nine bulls can't change her mind. Logically speaking, Di Daotian is the perfect dao partner in the hearts of countless female cultivators in the Ninth Immortal Domain. However, the Lin Clan's princess doesn't have any feelings for Di Daotian. In order to win the Lin Clan's princess's heart, Di Daotian has been busy all these years. Otherwise, why would he, as the Jido Seishū's Dao Disciple, hold a banquet here?
Why would he spend so much money to invite Shi Xianxin to liven things up? "The beautiful woman transmitted her voice.
Hearing their discussion, Qin Yu couldn't help but think of the unruly and difficult Lin Moran when he first arrived at the Flying Dragon Ancient City. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Isn't the Lin Clan's princess engaged to Di Daotian?
Why doesn't the Lin Clan's princess have any feelings for Di Daotian? "
"You don't know. Di Daotian and the Lin Clan's princess are arranged by their parents. However, I don't know why the Lin Clan's princess has no interest in Di Daotian. Although they are engaged, the Lin Clan's ancestor dotes on Lin Moran.
Therefore, Di Daotian is also anxious. "Pang Yong transmitted his voice to Qin Yu.
Seeing that Qin Yu was still confused, Pang Yong continued, "You can't really be from a small world, right?
You don't even know the situation of the Ninth Immortal Domain?
Let me tell you, if we were to divide the forces of the Ninth Immortal Domain in echelon, then the first echelon would be the Three Great Sacred Clans and Three Great Sacred Sects. The Three Great Sacred Clans are the Hou Clan, the Lin Clan, and the Di Clan.
"Among the Three Great Sacred Clans, the Hou Clan has the deepest foundation and the longest foundation. In these years, they have been suppressing the Lin Clan and the Di Clan. Because the master of the Immortal Domain no longer cares about worldly affairs and disappeared for many years, there are rumors that the master of the Immortal Domain doesn't have much time left.
Therefore, there are rumors that the Hou Clan is the overlord when the master of the Immortal Domain isn't around.
"Under the suppression of the Hou Clan, the Lin Clan and the Di Clan made an agreement. Whoever becomes a Daoist of one of the Three Great Sacred Sects can marry the princess of the other clan. Di Daotian is a genius and is said to have the potential to become a Nine Star Purgatory Cultivator. Not only that, more than 300 years ago, he actually became a Daoist of one of the Three Great Sacred Sects, the Dao Origin Sacred Sect.
"With such an illustrious background, once he becomes a Nine Star Purgatory Cultivator and has the support of the Dao Origin Sacred Sect, the Di Clan, and the Lin Clan, he has the hope of obtaining the inheritance of the master of the Immortal Domain and becoming the next master of the Ninth Immortal Domain!
Therefore, if he can successfully marry the princess of the Lin Clan, it means that Di Daotian is one step closer to becoming the master of the Immortal Domain! "Pang Yong explained to Qin Yu in one breath.
After Qin Yu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. No wonder Lin Moran didn't have any feelings for Di Daotian. In this sort of marriage, there were no true feelings to speak of. It would be strange if Lin Moran was willing!
Just as Qin Yu was sighing with emotion, a figure wearing clothes whiter than snow landed on the platform in the center of the lake. Unfortunately, a white veil covered her face, so no one could see her true appearance. However, judging from her figure, she must be a peerless beauty.
After sitting cross-legged, Shi Xianxin placed a guqin across her legs and gently stroked the strings. The fluctuations of the strings turned into pleasant notes that reverberated between heaven and earth.
However, the notes were intermittent, as if she was adjusting the strings.
Those who had heard of Shi Xianxin knew that every time she played the guqin, she would spend a certain amount of time adjusting the guqin. At this moment, it seemed that the rumors were true.
Just as everyone was waiting for Shi Xianxin to finish adjusting the guqin, a few young men were toasting each table.
It didn't take long before they arrived at Qin Yu's table. It was unknown whether it was by accident or on purpose, but the luxuriously dressed young man in the lead walked up to Qin Yu and Qi Youlong. He smiled and said, "Qi Youlong, long time no see. How have you been?"
"Hehe, Ning Yifan, long time no see. You have become more and more unfathomable." Qi Youlong looked at the luxurious young man and said politely.
"Haha, same to you. Come, today, I and my friends will represent Big Brother Di to propose a toast to everyone. Thank you for coming." The young man named Ning Yifan raised his wine cup and said straightforwardly.
Qi Youlong, Wenren Jingyu, Qin Yu and the others raised their wine cups and drank it in one gulp.
"Qi Youlong, after this banquet, let's arrange a time to meet alone!
Oh right, this little brother looks unfamiliar. May I know who your master is? How should I address you? "After Ning Yifan finished speaking, he glanced at Qin Yu and asked in surprise.
Qi Youlong narrowed his eyes and did not answer. Qin Yu said indifferently: "Li Zhuo, no sect."
"Oh?"
Ning Yifan looked at Qi Youlong who was on the right and then looked at Qin Yu and said: "Little brother, Qi Youlong brought you here. It can be seen that he has high hopes for you. With Qi Youlong's protection, your future is limitless!
Come, let me drink with you alone. "While saying that, Ning Yifan poured himself a cup of wine.
Seeing this, Qin Yu calmly poured himself a cup of wine, clinked his cup with Ning Yifan's and drank it in one gulp.
Then, Ning Yifan raised his left hand and patted Qin Yu's shoulder while saying: "Little brother, do well, I have faith in you!"
Qin Yu slightly tilted his head and looked at Ning Yifan's hand. He raised his eyebrows slightly. He never liked people patting his shoulder, but if he dodged now, he was afraid that he would offend someone. As a newcomer, there was no need to provoke a strong enemy for such trivial matters.
But the moment Ning Yifan's left hand landed on his shoulder, Qi Youlong suddenly grabbed Ning Yifan's right hand and pulled it towards him: "Ning Yifan, there are still hundreds of tables left. Hurry up and finish the toast. Otherwise, you will still be toasting after Shi Xianxin finishes tuning the zither."
But Ning Yifan seemed to have the intention of patting Qin Yu. His palm landed on Qin Yu's shoulder, then he withdrew his hand and said cheerfully: "Okay, okay, I will go toast first. Let's go!" Then, Ning Yifan turned and left.
After Ning Yifan's group left, Qi Youlong carefully looked at Qin Yu. Qin Yu couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I thought too much." Qi Youlong said meaningfully.
