Hmm?
Although he was a level 9 Great Emperor-realm powerhouse, Xiao Baiyi could not see through Lin Wudao when his gaze landed on the latter.
Seeing this, he no longer dared to underestimate the other party.
The City of Heavens was filled with hidden talents, gathering the peerless heroes of various great worlds and universes. Each of them could be said to be a prodigy among prodigies.
This was especially so after the arrival of the Supreme. Many powerful existences appeared in the First Heaven of the City of Heavens.
Although Lin Wudao looked ordinary, Xiao Baiyi didn’t dare to be arrogant. If he encountered an old monster, it might bring disaster.
Therefore, facing Lin Wudao’s question, Xiao Baiyi treated him with courtesy and was quite easygoing.
“Oh, today is not an important matter. It’s just a welcoming ceremony that is held every 10,000 years. In a while, heroes from various great worlds in this universe will come to the City of Heavens. We are all here to watch the show,” Xiao Baiyi replied with a smile.
A welcoming ceremony?
Lin Wudao was curious.
“Is there a limit to the number of slots to enter the City of Heavens?”
“No. That being said, although there is no limit to the number of slots, it is not easy to obtain the right to enter. Only those who meet the requirements of the City of Heavens will be granted a talisman and be invited to enter. Those who can enter are all top geniuses and powerful existences,” Xiao Baiyi continued to explain.
As he explained, Lin Wudao gained a deeper understanding of the City of Heavens.
Back then, the reason why he was able to enter the City of Heavens was thanks to the supreme talisman. With this, he enjoyed supreme status and authority in the City of Heavens. He didn’t need an invitation at all.
“Oh right, what kind of heroes will appear in today’s welcoming ceremony? Will there be Celestial Kings?”
“Well… Not necessarily. Most of the time, only Great Emperors or Heavenly Emperors will appear. Heroes above the True Celestial realm are few, and Celestial Kings are even fewer. However, if we’re lucky, we may meet Ancient Celestial Kings, Thousand Ancient Celestial Kings, or even magnates like peak Celestial Kings. Even Quasi-Immortal Emperors have appeared a few times. 1 remember that 80,000 years ago, 1 witnessed a Quasi-Immortal Emperor descend to the First Heaven,” Xiao Baiyi said excitedly.
Quasi-Immortal Emperor?
Hearing this, Lin Wudao’s spirit was greatly boosted.
A living being of that level was already considered a peak powerhouse in this universe. They were only slightly inferior to the Immortal Emperors.
“The welcoming ceremony of the City of Heavens this time has good timing. It just so happens that the cosmic tide has erupted. Who knows? It might attract many powerhouses,” Lin Wudao sighed.
This was called coinciding with the stage.
Xiao Baiyi nodded in agreement with his lamentation.
“In a while, we might meet a magnate above the Ancient Celestial King realm…”
Boom!
Just as Xiao Baiyi’s voice fell, a vast Dao sound suddenly came from the primal chaos void outside the city. The myriad Dao sank, and the truth appeared.
Soon after, under Lin Wudao’s gaze, the chaotic void in the distance was torn apart, and an ancient and vast door of the Great Dao appeared.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The moment the door of the Great Dao was opened, beams of dazzling light rushed out, paving an eternal Great Dao in the void.
At the same time, Waves of celestial music spread out in the void.
“Hmm? From the looks of it, it seems like a big shot has come to the City of Heavens,” Xiao Baiyi sighed.
A big shot?
“What realm is the other party in?”
“At least a magnate at the peak of the Celestial King realm.”
Buzz!
As Xiao Baiyi spoke, celestial light surged from the door of the Great Dao. Then, a majestic figure slowly walked out.
It was a man in green. He was tall and handsome, exuding a peaceful aura. Although there was no celestial light around him, he gave off great pressure.
At the same time, the truth of heaven and earth appeared around him. “Quasi-Immortal Emperor?
Lin Wudao was astonished when he saw the green-robed man.
They were just talking about being lucky enough to meet a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. He did not expect it to become a reality so quickly.
The person was Quasi-Immortal Emperor Qinglan.
What shocked Lin Wudao was that this Quasi-Immortal Emperor Qinglan was also from the Penglai celestial race.
“The celestial race that Xiao Baiyi is from has a Quasi-Immortal Emperor?” Lin Wudao was surprised.
Even though he guessed that there must certainly be a celestial in Xiao Baiyi’s race, he did not expect it to be a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
“Looks like the status of the Penglai celestial race in this universe is not low,” Lin Wudao sighed inwardly.
Xiao Baiyi, who was next to him, was also stunned when he saw Quasi-Immortal Emperor Qinglan.
However, he reacted quickly.
Whoosh!
After taking a deep breath, Xiao Baiyi immediately stepped forward and appeared in front of Quasi-Immortal Emperor Qinglan in an extremely respectful manner.
“Xiao Baiyi greets the Celestial Lord.”
He knelt and kowtowed. It was unknown whether it was because he was too excited or because he was too terrified, but his body trembled nonstop.
What? Celestial Lord?
Seeing Xiao Baiyi’s sudden action and hearing his words, the surrounding onlookers widened their eyes. A strong sense of reverence floated in their eyes.
In a powerful celestial race, the title of Celestial Lord corresponded to a powerful existence in the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.
Usually, such an ancient existence was not something they could come in contact with. This time, they had benefited from the welcome ceremony of the City of Heavens.
For this reason, many were filled with excitement. An existence like a Quasi-Immortal Emperor was not something that could be seen casually. It was already a great fortune to be able to lay their eyes on one.
“So this is the City of Heavens?”
Xiao Qinglan’s eyes swept across the crowd and a faint smile appeared on his face. Only then did he turn his gaze to Xiao Baiyi.
“The Penglai celestial race’s descendant from the ninth realm?”
“Ye… Yes,” Xiao Baiyi replied fearfully.
He had only met Xiao Qinglan once during the Celestial Races’ Grand Meeting 33,000 years ago. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to recognize the other party.
“Get up.”
Xiao Qinglan nodded gently after a few moments of observation.
“How many members of the Penglai celestial race are there in the City of Heavens?”
“This… Celestial Lord, I’m the only one in First Heaven. As for the Second Heaven and above, I’m not sure.”
“I see. In the vast First Heaven, you’re the only descendant of the celestial race. It can be seen how peerless you are. From today onwards, you are allowed to move from the ninth realm to the central realm.”
“Thank you, Celestial Lord!”
Xiao Baiyi was so excited that he bowed crazily.
The Penglai celestial race had many members and the territory it ruled was extremely vast. It controlled ten high-level great worlds and one origin great world.
There were even Immortal Emperors in the celestial race.
In this universe, they were truly a top-notch celestial race.
In this era and epoch, they barely had the qualifications to fight for destiny.
The central realm was where the celestials of the origin great world lived and cultivated. Being able to enter was a symbol of status.
According to the rules of the Penglai celestial race, only those with the potential of a True Celestial were qualified to enter the central realm.
And now, Xiao Baiyi was favored by Quasi-Immortal Emperor Qinglan. This was a great honor for him and the branch of the celestial race he was from. How could he not be pleasantly surprised?
“Alright. 1 have just arrived, so tell me about the situation in the City of Heavens.”
“Yes!” Xiao Baiyi bowed in response.
Soon after, he was going to tell Xiao Qinglan about the situation in the City of Heavens.
Boom!
At this moment, a vast power suddenly came from afar, accompanied by many exclamations.
This sudden change immediately interrupted Xiao Baiyi’s introduction. He couldn’t help but look in the direction of the sound.
In the distant sky, there seemed to be a heavenly pressure.
“Eh, has someone completed the celestial ascension?” Xiao Qinglan let out a slight gasp of surprise.
Celestial ascension?
Upon hearing this, Lin Wudao looked into the distance. He saw a familiar figure through the bustling crowd..
