Heaven Smiting God Emperor

Inside the pavilion was a vast and majestic hall with rows of neatly arranged chairs and tables.

Located right in the middle of the hall was a round table large enough with rows of chairs surrounding it. Qin Tian and the people of the empire sat in these chairs.

Qin Tian sat next to Yu Siqi while Shui Yao sat across from them with a face that was always pouting.

As sitting in a chair, the first thing Qin Tian did was enjoy the food that was served.

With people from the empire personally hosting a banquet, all the dishes that were served naturally came from the best ingredients in the Floating Cloud region. Not mentioning the flesh of Spiritual Beasts, there were even some meat from Spiritual Monsters that were served.

Besides having an amazingly delicious taste, meat from Spiritual Monsters is also very beneficial for one's cultivation. As eating that meat, even Qin Tian could feel a slight increase in his spiritual energy.

"Our Floating Cloud region is only considered ordinary on the spiritual continent. It doesn't have a big empire. However, with Prince Qin and Princess Shui Yao, our Floating Cloud region will definitely shine when the exams seven great sects later later." Just as Qin Tian was enjoying food at the table, Ling Yuan who was sitting next to him suddenly spoke.

"Right! Only Princess Shui Yao is making us cry out of despair. Now there is even Prince Qin who is just as amazing. If I'm not mistaken, Prince Qin should have reached the final stage of the Spiritual realm, right?" Prince Li Xiao who also has a friendly face added.

As he uttered Qin Tian's cultivation base, everyone in the hall who also enjoyed dishes at the table couldn't help but stop their movements so the spoon in their hands caught in their mouths.

The final stage of the Spiritual realm!

Some who have a weak mentality even choke when they hear it.

The fact that Qin Tian reached the Spiritual realm had shocked them all.

In their minds, Qin Tian was at most only someone who had just broken into the Spiritual realm. However, Li Xiao's words made them finally realize that Qin Tian was not someone who had just broken through. He was even most likely to be stronger than Shui Yao.

They could not help but stare at Qin Tian waiting for him to confirm Li Xiao's words.

But Qin Tian only smiled faintly without saying anything.

Even though he didn't say yes directly, but to everyone in the hall, Qin Tian's smile was no different from direct confirmation from him.

Hisss....

Hissing sounds could be heard in the hall as everyone began to discuss in a low voice.

"Hmph, it's only the final stage! Even though this princess is only in the middle stage, yet this princess is not afraid of the final stage." While people were filled with shock with Qin Tian's cultivation, only Shui Yao snorted. She looks unhappy.

Of course no one dared to refute Shui Yao's words. Aside from having a talent that could look down on them all, she even had a very scary aunt.

Don't say the Floating Cloud region, even in the entire spiritual continent, nobody dares to offend her.

However, while the others were afraid, Qin Tian was not at all afraid.

He looked at Shui Yao who looked unhappy and said. "Oh! Does Princess Shui want to fight with this Prince. For a long time, this Prince had never met someone who could be his opponent at the same age." He spoke with a provocative smile.

Shui Yao's personality was very hot-blooded so she got angry easily. However, when it was combined with her beautiful appearance, her anger actually made her look even more adorable. Qin Tian was very happy to see her when she was angry. Because of that he provoked her a little.

Qin Tian's words are undoubtedly a provocation for the proud Shui Yao.

Without further ado, she immediately jumped onto the table, and pointed her sword towards Qin Tian while an aura that made the people inside the hall, breathing difficulties, erupt from within her body.

"Do you think this princess is scared? This princess also has never met someone who could be her opponent! Do you dare to fight with this princess right now?" She shouted loudly so that the pavilion itself was made to vibrate as if an earthquake had occurred.

Seeing the conflict of two geniuses who were far stronger than them, Ling Yuan could not help but worry. He quickly stood up from his chair while resisting the pressure of Shui Yao's aura.

"Princess Shui, Prince Qin, calm down first! This humble prince will not disturb you if you want to sparring, but right now we are having a meeting. This meeting was initiated by this humble person to discuss something!" Ling Yuan spoke hurriedly to calm the two of them.

Although Qin Tian was also interested in fighting with Shui Yao, yet clearly now is not the right time.

Ling Yuan's words also caught his attention because this meeting was actually initiated by him.

Qin Tian wondered what he wanted to talk about so as to gather everyone here.

"Because Prince Ling wants to talk about something, this Prince certainly doesn't mind!" Qin Tian spoke while smiling.

"Hmph, just say if you're scared." Shui Yao answered in a provocative tone while she also sat back in her chair.

"Huh!" Ling Yuan heaved a sigh of relief seeing the two of them still willing to follow his words.

After the atmosphere calmed down, everyone in the hall including the Princes and Princesses of the Empire stared at Ling Yuan waiting for him to explain the reason for this meeting.

"Um..." Ling Yuan knew it was time he explained the reason for this meeting.

"Mmm, the reason why this humble prince gathered all of you here is because this humble one has something to tell all of you. This is related to the exams of the seven great sects later." He paused while he looked at the people in the hall who had curious faces.

After all, a great sect exams was something that had been done over and over many times on various continents. Basically, almost everyone in the Alasta world knows how great sect exams are carried out. Because of that, Ling Yuan who suddenly discussed the matter of the great sect exam naturally naturally caught their attention. They wondered if there was anything different from the great sect exams this time.

Seeing the curious faces of the people in the hall, Ling Yuan immediately continued his words. "I'm sure everyone here already knows how great sect exams are done. Usually, they will only call on participants to be tested for their talents and strengths. Those who are deemed eligible can choose the sect they want to enter! However, on this exam, it is not will be the same as before. "

He stopped again to take a breath before continuing.

"This humble Prince's father has a number of good friends who have become great sects elder, and he is getting some information about this year's sect exam."

The people in the hall couldn't help but be stunned by his words.

Turns out there really was a change?

They did not care where he got the information, yet the changes that occurred were enough to surprise them all. In their hearts, they wondered whether that was good or bad for them.

"Our Alasta world is vast! Besides having many continents, it also has many magical places left by its predecessors since ancient times. And just a moment ago, a major event took place in the Alasta world." He began to explain.

"Exactly five days ago, a magical place from ancient times suddenly appeared in the world of Alasta. Nobody knows where it came from, but even the strongest expert in the Alasta world could not force entry into that place." When he said that, the quiet atmosphere of the hall began to tense up.

"Even though they can't enter, yet they get information from that magical place, that it will open within three months. But, to enter that place, one must be under fifteen years old."

"Even though the great sect is very strong, but they don't have many disciples under fifteen years old. Therefore, to explore that place, they choose to use participants who will enter the sect."

"So, the great sect exams this time will not be like before which is only limited to one continent. This time, everyone in the entire Alasta world who wants to join the great sect will be sent to that magical place."

"It is said that that place has many chances of luck. However, it is also filled with danger so that even the Prince of the Great Empire can die."

The atmosphere in the hall immediately became quiet after Ling Yuan finished his words.

What he said really surprised the people in the hall.

The change he is talking about is not just a change.

Usually, the entrance exam of a great sect is very simple. Even though sometimes there were battles, it was more than just an ordinary friendly battle to test each other's strengths. Apart from a few injuries, there is practically no danger involved.

However, exploring a magical place is different.

If it was just an ordinary magical place like a Floating Spiritual Cloud, everything would be fine because there would be no danger involved as long as someone did not violate the rules set. However, if that magical place is a ruins, everything is of course different.

A ruins that holds a lot of treasure? It was practically a real battleground for cultivators.

Although seven great sects might provide some protective equipment so that one does not die. However, for those who are weak, the possibility of them dying is still very large. Especially if those who explore the ruins later are all participants from the Alasta world.

In the entire world of Alasta, there is no mention of an ordinary Empire, let alone a mere Kingdom, even the Great Empire has a very large number.

With so many people from the great empire involved, those who were only princes of an empire or only young masters of the noble clan, would only become cannon fodder there. This makes them feel worried and considers whether they will take the exam.

After all, entering a great sect was very important to them. Two people who have the same talent and the same strength, if one of them cultivates in a better place while the other does not, their future achievements will naturally be different. If they cannot enter the great sect, it will be difficult for them to take over the royal throne from their father in the future.

Even though most of them will eventually only become outside disciples, it's still better than not being a disciple at all.

"Ehm, friends, at first this humble person was also worried about this problem! However, with the presence of Prince Qin and Princess Shui, our Floating Cloud region will not be easily suppressed." Seeing those people's worried faces, Ling Yuan quickly tried to calm them down.

"And by entering the Floating Spiritual Clouds this time, their strength will definitely surge even higher. At that time, it is unknown if anyone can defeat our Floating Cloud region!" He added with a confident face.

Sure enough!

After the names of Qin Tian and Shui Yao were mentioned, the people became calmer. After all, whether it was Qin Tian or Shui Yao, their strength was not inferior to the genius of the Great Empire.

Especially Qin Tian, ​​he was only a prince from the kingdom, but his cultivation was already one level above many of the Princes of the Great Empire. Anyone who has a little intelligence, surely knows that he is not as simple as a mere Prince of the kingdom.
