Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 1100: Skymist Hai

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

For the Evergreen Immortal Empire, other than the period of commotion during the internal warfare, this ancient royal capital has always been governed tightly by the immortal empire's royal clan. Nobody dared to act recklessly in the royal capital. Everyone living in the capital was protected by the empire.

This was the same as the Southern Phoenix Immortal City. If a city wanted to prosper, a set of rules must definitely be followed. Once the citizens have a sufficient sense of safety, it would be a point of attraction to other strong experts who will flow in once their reputation spreads. They could settle their family inside the city and with more powerful people, there would naturally be more valuable transactions which will lead to the city prospering. This was a beneficial cycle.

Right now, there were many experts from various powers gathered at the royal capital of the Evergreen Immortal Empire. Everyone could feel that a storm was coming.

For these experts, many of them in fact, originated from the supreme immortal emperor-level powers in the Eastern Regions. They were naturally here because of the matter between the Skymist Immortal Empire and Evergreen Immortal Empire. They wanted to see what the Skymist Immortal Empire would do after they delivered the letter to the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. Everyone knew the character of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, it was impossible for him to accept such an agreement. However, would the Skymist Immortal Empire give up so easily?

At this moment within the royal capital, a group of figures could be seen walking on the street. All of them exuded an extraordinary aura and attracted the attention from the passersby.

"Those characters should be immortal king characters, they are immeasurably deep. Are they an external power or a newly formed power of our royal capital?" Some of the passersby spoke, filled with curiosity.

"They should be an external power. These few days, there seems to be many external powers coming to our royal capital. I heard that there are even some immortal-emperor level powers who arrived. The waves of commotion are certainly huge."

"Mhm, there's even a fight which occurred a few days ago. The reason for the fight was because of people from the Sky Demon Palace. They are similarly also an immortal-emperor level power and their palace lord is extremely powerful, his strength is said to be immeasurable."

"That's only natural. If the Sky Demon palace is weak, they would not be able to exist with their territory in between the Violet Emperor's Sect and the Evergreen Immortal Empire."

"Those of the Paragon Sword Sect also arrived. The sword qi from their body is supreme in power. It's rumored that they can kill people with a single glance."

Qin Wentian bent an ear and listened attentively. Many people were discussing about some major powers situated in the Eastern Regions of the vast immortal realms. The Eastern Region was different from the Southern Regions. The Southern Regions were jointly ruled by three ancient hegemons, there were no other immortal emperor-level powers who could stand side by side with them as they were unable to match the ancient three clans in terms of strength. This made many immortal emperor-level powers in the Southern Regions unable to expand.

The power in the Eastern Region was more balanced. There were more immortal emperor-level powers here. Once, the thirteen prefectures were governed and unified by the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. Another was the God Beast Cult of the Great Snow Mountains. The Evergreen Immortal Empire is closer to the central area of the Eastern Regions and they were surrounded by other immortal emperor-level powers such as the Skymist Immortal Empire, Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures, Sky Demon Palace, Paragon Sword Sect, etc. There are naturally also some powerful characters who chose to live the life of a recluse, not bothering about governing or unifying territory yet their power was immense. An example of this was the Violet Emperor and Matriarch Ji. Strictly speaking, the Violet Emperor was considered closer to the Central Region of the vast immortal realms.

Other than this, there are also powerful ancient dynasties such as the Taihua Immortal Dynasty, and reclusive figures who wished to remain hidden within the Eastern Regions.

Qin Wentian analysed the powers in the Eastern Region and was extremely shocked. Just merely the Eastern Regions contained so many terrifying major powers. There are even many immortal emperors who didn't establish their own power. What he was analysing now was merely the immortal emperor-level powers. He hadn't even considered the immortal king-level powers. There were simply too many sects and clans, completely uncountable.

"Seniors, let us find an inn to rest first." Qin Wentian spoke. This group of people was none other than the experts from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect and Qin Wentian himself. There were several immortal kings who came along, accompanying Qin Wentian. For the sake of propriety and face, since they were coming under the pretext of paying a visit to the Evergreen Immortal Empire, they naturally couldn't send just immortal-foundation experts.

"You are the decision-making person for this entourage." A person by the side spoke in a low voice, allowing Qin Wentian to decide.

"Ok, junior won't be polite then." Qin Wentian nodded. He wanted to find an inn to reside in first. The situation here was quite chaotic, it was easier to gather information if you are inside an inn.

And as expected, after sitting inside the inn he chose for a short period of time, the crowd had shifted the topic of discussion to the Skymist Immortal Empire.

"After the Skymist Immortal Empire sent the letter, there has been no news from the side of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. No one knows what his intentions are. Also, after the Skymist Immortal Empire sent the letter, they didn't even enter the imperial palace but instead, choose to invite experts from all regions to gather at the city. No one knows what they are planning."

"I think the Skymist Immortal Empire is planning to create trouble, wanting to spread the news regarding the agreement they had." Somebody laughed.

"This time, the person who issued the invitation is Skymist Hai, a prince of the Skymist Immortal Empire. However according to rumors, this person is a silk pants young master, he's 300+ years old but his cultivation base is merely at the third-level of immortal foundation. Although his talent can be considered outstanding, he is clearly inferior when compared to the other princes of the empire. It's said that he loves all things beautiful and loves to do things in an exaggerated manner. The Skymist Immortal Empire actually sent someone like him to remind the Evergreen Immortal Emperor about the agreement? Could it be they intend for a princess from the Evergreen Immortal Empire to marry this wastrel? If this is really true, it must mean that they were planning to insult the princesses of the Evergreen Immortal Empire."

"Everyone, are you guys not interested to go and take a look?" Someone asked.

"Where is the location and time?" Several people naturally were interested to witness a lively commotion. And although they didn't have the qualifications to be invited, there was no problems for them to watch from afar.

"The time is just two days later, the location is at the Juxian Tower." That person replied. Many people clasped their hands in appreciation. Qin Wentian silently finished his drink before he stood up and departed.

The prince of the Skymist Immortal Empire, Skymist Hai.

...

Two days later at the rooftop of the Juxian Tower, many pavilions could be seen. This place had a high altitude and a very good view. Right now, several of those pavilions were already filled with people, they were all admiring the beautiful dancers dancing on the platform in the center.

The dancers were all scantily clad, their jade-white skin revealed for all to see. Their faces were covered with misty veils, and their figure was alluringly hot. Their willowy waists swayed to the left and right with the charm of a snake, giving the sensation of extreme flexibility. This made those watching them feel a hot rush of blood coursing through their veins.

"Beautiful women, beautiful wine. There is nothing on earth happier than this." In one of the pavilions, a young man with a fair-face that exuded hints of nobility spoke. As he drank, his eyes would roam around the dancers as lightning flickered within, causing his gaze to shimmer with brilliance.

"Your highness Hai truly knows how to enjoy life." Someone laughed. In Skymist Hai's eyes, there were only beauties. "The lifetime of an immortal is inconceivably long. Wouldn't it be a waste if we don't enjoy ourselves to the fullest?"

"Although these dancers are beautiful, their sultry aura is too strong. They most probably have been played by many men before." From another pavilion, numerous young men could be seen. They exuded an aura of sharpness and their eyes held no traces of complication. Their gazes were filled with disdain as they stared at these dancers.

"Haha, the sword arts of the Paragon Sword Sect are sharp, and so is the manner of your speech and tone. What sort of women would be considered beautiful in your eyes then?" Skymist Hai asked.

"Pureness is beauty. A perfect flawlessly woman." One person replied.

"I'm afraid women like that are extremely scarce even in the vast immortal realms." Skymist Hai stated.

"Is that true? Didn't the Skymist Immortal Empire come here for this reason?" Another person spoke. The person who spoke was clad in luxurious robes and was someone from the Taihua Immortal Dynasty, a major power in the Eastern Regions.

Skymist Hai's eyes flashed as he regarded the surroundings, all those who could sit within the pavilions here were all people with statuses. Although Skymist Hai didn't state it explicitly, commoners would never dare to casually sit within one.

Qin Wentian was also sitting within a pavilion. Beside him were two other young men who were silently surveying the scene. These two were from the Battle Saint Tribe. This time around, Jun Mengchen didn't come with him, his junior brother was currently in closed-door seclusion, preparing to breakthrough to the second-level of immortal foundation. Little Rascal and Purgatory also accompanied Mo Qingcheng in cultivation.

"It is said that both Princess Qing`er and Princess Glaze of the Evergreen Immortal Empire are as pure as jades. Are they the flawless women you are speaking of?"

"I heard of them before but I've never met them personally." Someone laughed.

"Could Highness Hai be…?"

"This time I'm sure everyone have heard something about my purpose here. Back in the past, the Evergreen Immortal Empire promised that within a thousand years, they would send over their most illustrious princesses over in a marriage alliance with my Skymist Immortal Empire. My Skymist Immortal Empire didn't forget the pact and came by today specially to request the Evergreen Immortal Emperor to honor it. I believe with his esteemed status, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor wouldn't reject the agreement made those years ago." Skymist Hai laughed. "What do you all think?"

"No idea." The expert from the Taihua Immortal Dynasty laughed. He naturally wouldn't comment mindlessly on such a sensitive topic.

"Could it be that the marriage partner in question, is none other than your highness?" A voice drifted over. Skymist Hai laughed, he pointed his finger to the beautiful dancers and spoke, "If I can make Princess Qing`er or Princess Glaze dance like them to brighten my mornings, wouldn't that be an extremely wonderful thing?"

Everyone couldn't help but stiffen at his words when they saw how high-spirited Skymist Hai was. They held onto their winecups and murmured. Such words were filled with disrespect towards the two princesses, demeaning their statuses. Making Princess Qing`er and Princess Glaze dance for him? This Skymist Hai truly dares to imagine. Or could it be that the Skymist Immortal Empire is determined to succeed at all costs?

"Puchi!" An untimely laughter abruptly rang out, causing the gazes of everyone here to turn over to a pavilion at a remote corner. Over there, there were three young men, the young man in the center had the lowest cultivation and the sound of laughter originated from him. He lowered his head, staring at the table while his long slender fingers twiddled the wine cup. Yet despite his laughter, cold intent could be seen flickering in his eyes.

"What are you laughing at?" Skymist Hai's eyes gleamed with a sinister light as he stared straight at Qin Wentian.
