“Who is this? How are they able to absorb the Fairy Star’s starlight from the sky?” Qingfeng frowned with surprise in his eyes.
Qingfeng knew that average self-cultivation techniques could only suck in vital essence from the heavens and earth, but not from starlight. It could only be done with a powerful saint level or immortal level technique.
For example, the Conqueror Spell Qingfeng trained in was a saint level technique his father, the Conqueror, had given him. That type of immortal level technique was incredibly powerful, because it could absorb the starlight from the Conqueror Star in the night sky.
Now that Qingfeng saw someone else was absorbing the starlight, he knew that someone was training in immortal level technique and had immense power.
Qingfeng followed the Fairy Star’s starlight with his eyes and noticed that the one who was absorbing it was in the Imperial Palace. This shocked Qingfeng, who could this master be?
However, Qingfeng didn’t know that it was the Third Princess who was absorbing the Fairy Star’s starlight. If he had known, then he definitely would have been surprised.
Black Puppy stood on the side as it said with concern, “Qingfeng, I never imagined that there would be such a rare genius in Lingyun. The one who is absorbing the starlight must have been a fairy in her previous life.”
Qingfeng nodded and agreed with Black Puppy. Average self-cultivators wouldn’t have the ability to absorb starlight, even if it was the Emperor of Lingyun.
The Crimson Fire Desert was now filled with rainbow-colored light with more and more powerful herbs, which floated amongst these lights, as the entire country clearly saw.
Not only did the self-cultivators of Lingyun the immense amount of herbs and rainbow-colored light on top of the Crimson Fire Desert, but also the ones in the nearby countries.
There were five countries near Lingyun, along with several sect masters. The elders and disciples’ eyes all filled with excitement as the other countries discussed how they would get to the Crimson Fire Desert.
The Fiery-Sun Country was more powerful and situated closely to the east of Lingyun.
Now inside the Imperial Palace of the Fiery-Sun Country, the Emperor called an emergency meeting.
The Emperor of the Fiery-Sun Country was a middle-aged man with a strong build, thick red brows, big eyes, and red hair as if he burned like a sun.
Two brothers and sisters stood beneath him, the man was the future Emperor of the Fiery-Sun Country, also known as the Fiery-Sun Crown Prince, while the woman was a beautiful woman with red hair and voluptuous curves, known as the Fiery Princess.
“Father, imperial grade herbs have appeared in Crimson Fire Desert, shouldn’t we head over and grab some?” asked the Fiery-Sun Prince as he bowed.
The Fiery-Sun Emperor sat on the Dragon Chair silently for a bit, before he said, “A hundred year ago, our Fiery-Sun country, Lingyun, and the three other countries signed a Five Country Treaty.”
The Five Country Treaty regulated that Emperors, sect masters, and Elders were banned from stepping into the other countries. Only princes, princesses, and sect talents under the age of thirty could enter the other kingdoms.
The Fiery-Sun Princess smiled attractively as her red lips pouted, and she said, “Father, you’re not allowed to enter Lingyun, but brother and I can go to the Crimson Fire Desert of Lingyun. Once we’ve acquired the imperial grade elixirs, we can reach the Spirit Monarch Realm, and conquer the five big kingdoms.”
The Fiery-Sun Emperor nodded when he heard the Fiery-Sun Princess as his eyes lit with joy. Even though he couldn’t enter Crimson Fire Desert, his son and daughter were allowed in.
He was very proud of the Fiery-Sun Prince and Fiery-Sun Princess. Not only were his son and daughter handsome and beautiful, but they also had great power as they’ve both reached the fourth level of the supreme realm and had supreme level spiritual treasures.
The five Five Country Alliances consisted of Lingyun, Fiery-Sun, Golden-Arrow, Clear-Wood, and Soil-Border country, and these five countries represented the five elements of water, fire, gold, wood, and soil respectively. However, these countries all had different levels of power.
These kingdoms were usually divided into three grades, with the first grade being the lowest and third grade as the highest. Those higher than the third grade were no longer considered kingdoms, instead being recognized as imperial dynasties.
Amongst these five countries, Lingyun was the least powerful as a first grade kingdom, while the Fiery-Sun was stronger as a second grade one. The other three were much more powerful as third grade kingdoms.
The more powerful the kingdom, the more powerful the Emperor, Crown Prince, and Princess. For example, the Fiery-Sun Prince and Princess were much more powerful than the Crown Prince of Lingyun.
At the same time, inside the Imperial Palaces of the countries of Gold-Arrow, Clear-Wood, and Soil-Border, their Emperors had already a.s.signed missions to their Princes and Princesses, to order them to find the monarch soul fruit in the Crimson Fire Desert.
The monarch soul fruit was an imperial cla.s.s elixir that attracted all the Imperial forces in the Five Country Alliance of the Southern Crimson Fire Continent.
Aside from the five kingdoms in the Five Country Alliances of the Crimson Fire Continent, there were some powerful sects like the Sword Supreme Sect, Saber Supreme Sect, and Black Elixir Sect.
A middle-aged man in green quietly stood inside the Sword Supreme Sect Palace. His face was covered in blade marks, with fierce brows, and an aura like a sharp sword that could tear through the sky.
He released countless bolts of sword energy all around him, as he slashed cracks into the air with great fervor.
This middle-aged man was not so simple; he was the Sword Supreme Sect Master, with enormous hidden power. Before him stood a youth of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.
This youth had a handsome face, tall built, and looked very attractive as he stood there with powerful energy. He was a fourth level supreme realm master.
If Qingfeng were there, he would have been shocked, because he knew this youth, and even held a grudge against him.
When Qingfeng first landed on the Spirit World Platform when he arrived at higher-tier planets from earth, there was a chubby middle-aged man in charge of addressing these lower-tier planet arrivals and facilitating the disciple selection process of supreme and emperor level sects.
Qingfeng was amongst the several hundred lower-tier planet visitors, and the first to pick geniuses was this youth, Yangtian Jin.
Yangtian Jin was especially prideful then and didn’t care about Qingfeng at all. With more interactions, the two nearly started fighting.
Yangtian Jin looked at the middle-aged man before him and said with respect, “Master, the monarch soul fruit has appeared in the Crimson Fire Desert. I’ll bring it back for Master this time and help Master reach the Spirit Monarch Realm.”
The middle-aged man’s eyes filled with joy when he heard Yangtian Jin. He pulled out a golden sword and handed to the youth.
