Chapter 726: Banquet
On the 6th of November, old w.a.n.g and the others went to the Royal battlefield.
On this day, Fang ping was also cultivating in seclusion seriously.
Even though this seclusion was extremely short.
……
At the Maple Royal Palace.
By the time the sky turned dark again, Fang ping was almost done with his cultivation.
A faint golden light flashed on his body.
Fang ping exhaled. He still had to be more careful in the future. It was best not to cultivate in the catacombs. Once one"s cultivation had progressed, some characteristics would be hard to hide.
Fang ping took another look at the data and revealed a satisfied expression.
[Wealth: 384 million points]
[Vitality: 69300Cal (69999Cal)
[Mentality: 4000hz (4008Hz)]
[Power of destruction: $29 ($29)]
[Bones honed: 206 pieces (100%)]
[Storage s.p.a.ce: 1000 cubic meters (+)]
[Energy barrier: 1 point/minute (+)]
[Aura simulation: 10 points/minute (+)]
"I"ve spent 10 million wealth points to upgrade it to the limit of eighth-grade third refined!"
At this moment, Fang ping had not reached rank-8, fourth-forging stage. However, this time, the increase in mentality also made him feel much more at ease when he tempered his golden body.
In less than a day, he had tempered his golden body to the limit of rank-8 third refined.
" 10 million points is equivalent to 1000 Yuan of imperishable substance. For a martial artist of my strength, if I recover 1 yuan a day, it would only take three years ..."
It took him three years to go from the beginning to the peak of eighth-grade third refinement.
In other words, from middle-stage rank-8 to almost upper-stage rank-8, this was the normal cultivation speed of a martial artist.
It was considered normal for a rank-8 martial artist to take 20 years to complete the fifth refinement.
"My mentality has increased. I"ve made up for my shortcomings. My golden body refining speed is very fast."
Fang ping realized that the speed of his golden body"s tempering was not affected by any other factors but his mentality.
His mentality had actually increased quite quickly. In such a short time, his mentality had reached 4000hz and above. Even old Yao, who was born with a strong mentality, was not as good as him.
This speed would make others jealous.
However, Fang ping had some thoughts.
"Mentality is somewhat related to the Golden body tempering. 4000hz of mentality should be enough for me to complete the fourth refinement of the Golden body.
A spiritual power of 5000hz would probably allow me to complete the fifth refinement.
"Therefore, when a normal rank-8 martial artist completes the fifth refinement, their mentality will reach 5000hz. At this point, their golden body can no longer be tempered. This is also related to this.
Old man Li"s myriad DAOs were one, so there was no limit to his mentality. That was how he could carry out the Golden body forging of a higher level.
According to this logic ... If I want to achieve a ninth-refined golden body, I"ll have to hone my mentality to at least 9000Hz?"
The corner of Fang Ping"s mouth twitched slightly. It was so difficult!
He finally understood why many rank-8s would advance to rank-9 after fifth refinement.
This was because they could enter rank-9 at this time. They would not wait because it was difficult to increase their mentality to such a high level.
"I need to reach 9000Hz and above to complete the ninth refinement of the Golden body ... How many years and months would that take?"
It was not difficult for Fang ping to reach the fourth refinement. His improvement today was high enough. If he familiarized himself with his strength, he would probably be able to enter the fourth-refinement realm of rank-8.
However, the fifth and sixth refinements are much more difficult.
"It"s true that a rank-8 sixth refined metal requires a vitality of 100000 Cal. Has anyone ever completed the eighth-grade seventh refinement?"
Fang ping suddenly thought of something. He had never heard of anyone who had completed the eighth-grade seventh refinement.
Old man Li"s vitality was now more than 90000 Cal. He had just completed rank-8 fifth-refinement and entered rank-8 sixth-refinement realm.
However, he had yet to reach the seventh refinement!
According to theory, a seventh refined golden body was already considered a high-level golden body forging. Would the increase in vitality limit still be 10000 Cal?
"Not necessarily!"
It was not just the humans. In the catacombs, there were probably not many rank-8 seventh-refined martial artists. It was even hard to say if there were any.
"When Paragon powerhouses entered rank-9 back then, did they complete the seventh refinement or the fifth or sixth refinement?"
Fang ping was lost in his thoughts when someone knocked on the courtyard door.
Fang ping had long sensed the arrival of someone. He slowly got up and went forward to open the courtyard door.
As soon as the door opened, commander Feng Yu entered. He glanced at Fang ping and smiled."Not bad, even though he hasn"t reached the peak of battle general, his presence is much stronger. I"m afraid he will soon!"
Fang ping laughed."I"m flattered, commander. It"s all thanks to Your Highness that I"ve been rewarded with the spring of life. That"s why I"ve been able to progress so quickly."
As he said that, Fang ping raised his hand and said,"please, my Lord. I wonder if my Lord ..."
As Feng Yu walked in, she smiled and said,""Tonight, His Highness will be hosting a banquet to entertain some important guests. The important guests might summon you to ask about some matters of the outer region, so you will guard the banquet hall tonight. I will see if you have finished your cultivation and inform you."
"I"ll have to trouble my Lord!"
Fang ping thanked him immediately. Then, with a nervous look, he said,"Your Excellency, the honored guest is ... This general is worried that I will not answer properly and cause the honored guest to be dissatisfied. That would be a disgrace to His Highness."
"It"s mainly because the Lord Divine generals are all on our side. "
Feng Yu"s face was full of smiles, but then his expression turned a little dark.""A few years ago, the Maple Residence was extremely powerful! Under the command of the Maple King, there were 10 G.o.d-level generals!
There were still two demon divine generals in the Maple royal domain!
There were a total of 12 divine generals. Apart from them, in the 10 royal cities of the Royal maple domain, other than the two divine generals who had always followed their Lord, the other eight castellans were also very close to the Royal Maple Residence.
20 G.o.d-level generals!
This doesn"t include the immortal generals in other regions who are on good terms with the Maple Palace. At that time ..."
Feng Yu sighed with emotion. At that time, the Maple Palace was really powerful!
How many level nine experts were there in the vast Royal Court?
Not counting the outer regions, just the Imperial court alone had at most a thousand people, including those old fogeys who didn"t show their faces.
The Maple King was only one of the 49 true Kings. However, he was the only one who had subordinates. Those who were close to him, those who were directly under him, and those who had sought refuge with him ...
In total, the Maple King had over 30 immortal generals!
The 17th southern region was also the Maple King"s territory, and there were even more G.o.d generals there.
However, in the past few years, they had suffered heavy losses!
Of the 10 G.o.d-level generals, only 3 were left!
The two direct descendants of the Maple King were both Supreme Dao elite warriors, but they had also fallen one after another.
Among his grandchildren, Feng Qing, who was about to reach the Supreme realm, had also fallen.
Otherwise, with Feng Qing"s strength back then, he should be in the Supreme realm now, and he had the support of the Maple King. There was no need for the current situation, where the position of the king Lord was uncertain.
In the past, the position of the king Lord was almost in the Feng family"s pocket!
And after becoming a king Lord, even if he did not become a true king, he would still be able to reach the divine Dao and would still be a top elite warrior among the divine Dao.
There were some things that Feng Yu did not explain in detail, but Fang ping knew in his heart.
Listening to him silently, Feng Yu soon smiled again.""Those who have come tonight are all divine generals in the Imperial City who are on good terms with the Maple Palace. Some of them are important figures of the eight palaces.
Even though you"re only tasked to guard the main hall of the banquet, listening to the conversations of these important people is still an opportunity that ordinary people will find difficult to obtain in their entire lives. "
"It"s my honor. I"ll definitely be loyal to my duty!"Fang ping said hurriedly.
"Then, let"s get ready ..."
Feng Yu smiled."Remember, don"t talk nonsense. If the guests don"t ask, don"t say anything. Understand?"
"Understood!"
“……”
Feng Yu came quickly and left quickly.
When Fang ping waited for him to leave, he cursed in his heart. He actually made me guard the door, just wait and see!
"But that"s good too. Listen to what the rank-9s in the catacombs are talking about. Maybe you"ll be able to hear some secrets.
However, it was probably not some secret. Otherwise, as an outsider who had just arrived in the capital and only had the strength of a rank-6, how could he have the right to listen in?
……
It was almost nineo" clock in the evening.
Fang ping appeared outside a huge Palace in the depths of the w.a.n.g Residence.
At this moment, Fang ping had already changed into the armor of the Royal maple Army.
It was not just Fang ping. There were a few other combat generals who were guarding the main hall with Fang ping.
There were a total of four people in the outer region, including Fang ping. Jin yuhuai was there as well.
Fang ping took a look and knew that they were martial artists from cities who were fighting with humans from the outer region. It seemed that those people might ask about the human situation.
Other than the four of them, there were six other warlord level fighters in the mansion.
Having 10 rank-6s guarding the door just for a meal, Fang ping cursed again in his heart. Extravagant!
The 10 of them were now standing in two rows outside the hall.
One of the combat generals from the Maple Royal Palace berated in a low voice,""Remember, when the guests arrive, you are not allowed to look around, you are not allowed to ..."
This guy said a lot of nonsense. Fang ping had a smile on his face, but he did not listen at all.
At this moment, Feng miesheng walked out of the hall. He didn"t look at these people, but looked outside the hall with a faint smile on his face.
The two rank-8 powerhouses and several rank-7 martial artists followed behind him.
Before the guests arrived, Feng miesheng looked around and suddenly said,""Do you think that person will come?"
Fang ping and the others were still unaware of the situation after hearing this.
Feng Zhe, a level eight expert, muttered to himself for a moment before saying, "It"s hard to say, he might not come. "
"I think he"ll definitely come!" Feng miesheng smiled.
"Since we"re already in the Royal Court, we can"t avoid Prince Feng"s mansion no matter what our purpose is!" Feng miesheng sneered. If that"s the case, invite him and he"ll come!"
"Moreover, it was w.a.n.g zu who saved him that day. If it wasn"t for w.a.n.g zu holding back those revived true Kings at the Royal Sea Mountain, he wouldn"t have been able to escape into the Royal Court. He would have come, no matter what. "
"Your Highness is wise!"
Feng Zhe, Feng Yu, and the others hurriedly greeted him.
Behind him, Fang ping also understood.
Zhao xingwu!
Feng miesheng had actually invited Zhao xingwu. Why did he invite Zhao xingwu?
Fang ping was still thinking when someone arrived very quickly.
"Your Highness, long time no see!"
"Please, divine general mu!"
“……”
Feng miesheng wasn"t as arrogant as he usually was. He was all smiles as he greeted the other party.
The newcomer was a young-looking male powerhouse. Fang ping glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. He did not seem very strong. It was possible that he had not stepped into the origin Dao.
This person arrived first, and soon, another person arrived.
Fang ping realized that the one who called out "Your Highness" seemed to be of average strength.
Some of the people who came after him called Feng miesheng"s name. These people looked extremely powerful and had probably all stepped into the origin Dao.
One after another, a total of 8 rank-9 powerhouses arrived.
It had to be said that the influence of the Maple Residence was indeed very strong.
Fang ping was not sure how many rank-9s there were in the Imperial City. There were dozens of people in the heavenly plants Army. On the Imperial City"s side, there were probably a hundred divine generals.
There were 49 true Kings and Feng miesheng had invited eight. It was quite a big number.
By the time these people arrived, the guests seemed to have all gathered.
However, Feng miesheng only asked the others to invite the immortal generals into the main hall while he and Feng Zhe waited outside.
"Your Highness, why don"t we go in?" Feng Zhe asked after a while.
"Let"s wait a little longer,"
"It"s normal for a Supreme Dao elite to be a little arrogant,"Feng miesheng said with a calm smile.
Feng Zhe seemed to be a little unhappy. It wasn"t because of Feng miesheng. He didn"t dare to. It was because of Zhao xingwu.
The other party still hadn"t arrived!
It was fine if he didn"t come, but the other party didn"t reply before either. He was really arrogant!
As the two were talking, on the straight path outside the hall, a battle general was leading a person over.
Feng Zhe"s expression changed!
Feng miesheng"s expression also changed.
Fang ping knew why these two guys "expressions changed!
The person who had arrived was Zhao xingwu. However, Zhao xingwu had arrived without any signs at all. In everyone"s senses, the only thing they could sense was the battle general who had led the way.
Although a rank-9 powerhouse was strong, it was difficult for martial artists weaker than him to sense it when his aura was restrained.
But that was based on the distance between the two sides!
Zhao xingwu was less than 100 meters away from everyone at the moment. When he tried to sense it, it seemed to be empty. Even a rank-8 powerhouse felt that there was nothing in it. This was not something that an ordinary rank-9 could do.
The other party ... Was probably really close to the true king realm!
Feng miesheng"s expression changed, but he quickly smiled,""Alliance master Zhao, I apologize for not coming out to welcome you!"
Zhao xingwu glanced at him. At this moment, the hall door opened. In the hall, the rank-9 powerhouses who had arrived first also looked at Zhao xingwu.
A few people"s expressions also changed slightly. Very quickly, someone laughed and said,""Zhao Shuai is here too. I heard that Zhao Shuai is about to finish forging a ninth-grade divine weapon. I don"t think Zhao Shuai will be able to use it!"
"You"re overpraising me. There are countless powerhouses in the catacombs. I"m nothing,"Zhao xingwu said calmly.
Everyone"s expression changed again!
A golden-armored expert in the crowd said coldly,""Zhao Shuai, you"re the commander of the heavenly plant Army now. You should be careful with the word" catacombs "!"
Zhao xingwu was calm and composed as he walked straight to the main hall. He did not stop even when he pa.s.sed by Feng miesheng. "I"m used to it. Just like how you call earth the land of rebirth, it"s also a habit.
It"s been this way for nearly a hundred years, so change it slowly. "
Feng miesheng didn"t care about this. He followed behind Zhao xingwu and laughed,""Elders, there"s no need to argue over such a small matter. Please take your seats."
With that, Feng miesheng also returned to his seat, the main seat.
Zhao xingwu"s position was also very high, at the chief seat on the left.
The first seat on the right was the Golden-armored powerhouse who had warned Zhao xingwu earlier.
Fang ping had read some information before, and some powerhouses had been introduced.
The 9 rank-9 powerhouses who came tonight were all powerhouses from the eight palaces, including Zhao xingwu.
As for the Golden-armored expert, he came from the tribute Hall and was a Deputy Hall Master of the tribute Hall. His name was Liu wushen.
The other party was not only the tribute Hall"s Deputy Hall Master, but also a powerhouse in the catacombs "divine general ranking list, ranked in the 60s.
This was also the only powerhouse who had a ranking on the divine general ranking tonight. Zhao xingwu did not have one. He came from earth and had just arrived not long ago. Perhaps he would be here in a few days.
……
In the main hall, Feng miesheng wasn"t in a hurry to talk about business. Instead, he raised his cup and drank with everyone.
Zhao xingwu, on the other hand, only cared about drinking and did not say anything. He appeared to be extremely reclusive.
Outside the palace.
Fang ping did not move an inch either. Instead, he was listening attentively to the movements in the hall.
Very quickly, Feng miesheng got down to business. He smiled and said,""Elders, you all know what happened before. Hua qidao, the Commander-in-Chief of the left division, had always been hostile to the Maple royal residence. Now that the opportunity had come, mie Sheng wanted Hua qidao to leave the left division!
The left division had 100000 troops and 10 G.o.d-level generals. The left division was the commander of the G.o.d-level generals.
The heavenly plant Army"s military orders are strict, only the commander"s orders are obeyed ..."
After Feng miesheng spoke for a while, Liu wushen said,""It"s not difficult to make Hua qidao leave the left division. Hua qidao"s strength is not enough and there are many people in the left division who are not convinced.
The remnants of the left divine General"s might from back then had already dissipated.
A few days later, the eight palaces came to a consensus that Hua Qibiao wanted to keep the position of the left Marshal.
The key was, who would take over the position of the left Commander-in-Chief?
Extermination, does the Maple King have any instructions?"
Feng miesheng glanced at Liu wushen and thought for a while before smiling,""Uncle wushen, do you have such an intention?"
Liu wushen frowned slightly."The tribute Hall is also extremely important. It governs 360 Capital cities. As the Deputy Hall Master, I can also rope in some capital city Lords. Once I leave the tribute Hall, it will be difficult.
Extermination, if you want to become the king Lord, you"ll have to make arrangements in all the major imperial cities. Otherwise, if w.a.n.g Ling doesn"t leave the Imperial City, then there"s no point in being the king Lord. "
Other than him and Zhao xingwu, there were seven other divine generals on the field.
And there were still three people who had stepped into the origin Dao.
However, two of them had just entered. Feng miesheng looked at the expert who had entered the origin path for some time and smiled.""How is uncle Jing Zhu?"
The expert called Jing Zhu considered for a moment and said,"If I can lead the left division, this old man is naturally willing.
However, it was very difficult!
I"m not as powerful as Palace Lord Liu, and I"m not as powerful as Hua qidao, so I might not be able to convince the ma.s.ses. Besides, the eight palaces might not agree to it, and I"m afraid it"ll be difficult for the king Lord to pa.s.s. "
Feng miesheng also frowned and sighed in his heart.
If uncle w.a.n.g didn"t die, this would be their best chance!
As the commander of the left division, Feng Jiucheng definitely had the right to do so.
Not only that, but he would also be able to completely subdue the left division!
With the support of the Maple King, Feng Jiucheng was extremely powerful, and there was a Crown Prince who had a high chance of becoming the king Lord. Under such circ.u.mstances, it was only natural for Feng Jiucheng to take over the left division.
"Fang ping!"
At this moment, Feng miesheng hated Fang ping to the core again!
If it wasn"t for him, the 100000 heavenly plant Army would have been the Feng family "s!
Feng miesheng did not say anything. He looked at Zhao xingwu and suddenly laughed,""Hua qidao is not worthy of being in charge of the left division! Extermination was not willing to work for others!
Uncle wushen could not leave the tribute Hall, and uncle Jing Zhu might not be able to convince the ma.s.ses ...
If that was the case, the position of left Commander-in-Chief would most likely fall into the hands of someone else. King Hua, King Zi Luo and the other royal families were also eyeing it.
It doesn"t make sense that my Maple Residence would be taken advantage of by these people after putting in effort ..."
These words were exactly the same as what the king Lord said!
Fang ping did not hear the king Lord"s words, or his jaw would have dropped!
The thoughts of these catacombs higher-ups were simply speechless.
The king Lord didn"t want to benefit Prince Feng and the others, while Feng mie Sheng thought that no one in the residence was up to the task, so they couldn"t help the enemy and let the other royal families take over the left division.
In this case, it was very suitable to have someone!
The purpose of inviting Zhao xingwu today was clear.
As expected, the next moment, Feng miesheng laughed,""Zhao Shuai, you"re also in charge of the left division. With your strength, have you ever considered leading the entire left division?
In the Royal Court, strength was the number one!
In mie Sheng"s opinion, even the right divine general might not be a match for Zhao Shuai. It"s ridiculous that he"s still under Hua qidao"s command in the left division ..."
"I don"t want to get involved in this. Moreover, Hua qidao wouldn"t dare to order me around!" Zhao xingwu said calmly.
Feng miesheng was all smiles."Zhao Shuai, you don"t have to be in a hurry to reject me. Previously, the Royal Court promised Zhao Shuai that they would allocate a region for you to lead the resurrected martial artists."
But now, the safe zone had long been occupied.
If Zhao Shuai wanted to create a safe place for the resurrected martial artists, he could only go and open up new territories himself!
After all, Zhao Shuai was just one person. Even if he became a true king, what could he do?
Building a king"s domain wasn"t an easy task. Where did the life mineral veins come from?
Who would guard the king"s domain?
Could it be that Zhao Shuai had been guarding the king"s domain and never left when the demons attacked?
Although Zhao Shuai"s strength was strong, he might not be able to create a safe zone for the resurrected martial artists.
However, after he took over the left division, as long as Zhao Shuai did not rebel against the Imperial court, the left division would be his world!
As the left Commander-in-Chief, as long as Zhao Shuai can suppress the ten commanders-in-chief, no one else will be able to interfere with the matters of the left division. Whether Zhao Shuai leads the left division to expand the territory or to occupy the territory outside of the Royal Court, as long as Zhao Shuai can suppress them, there will be no problem!"
Zhao xingwu"s eyes flickered and he said calmly, "I"m a human martial artist. The left division of the heavenly plant Army is the strongest division. If you agree to give it to me, can the others agree?"
Feng miesheng grinned."It"s not difficult. As long as we can"t get over it, the left division can"t go a day without a commander. In the end, we"ll push out Zhao Shuai and he"ll show his strength. Then the position of the left commander will be Zhao Shuai!"
"Conditions!"
Zhao xingwu was straightforward.
Feng miesheng immediately laughed,"Zhao Shuai is straightforward, so I"ll be direct." If necessary, Zhao Shuai had to contribute to the Maple Residence.
Don"t worry, Zhao Shuai, we are just cooperating.
If Zhao Shuai helps the Maple Residence, then the Maple Residence will help Zhao Shuai to build a dynasty that belongs to the resurrected martial artists. "
Zhao xingwu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice,"Contribute? What power? He killed the king Lord? Or did he kill the right divine general? If the Maple King can guarantee that the true king Palace won"t get involved, I"ll go and kill them right now!"
Feng miesheng"s tone faltered, and the others "expressions changed.
He really dared to say it!
Feng miesheng paused and laughed."Zhao Shuai, you must be joking. However, the right divine general is indeed very powerful. The true king won"t directly partic.i.p.ate in the struggle for the king Lord. The top elite Warriors of the Divine Dao are enough to turn the situation around most of the time.
For the Maple Palace, they are lacking in Supreme Dao Warriors and may need Zhao Shuai"s help. "
Zhao xingwu did not hesitate this time. He agreed without hesitation,"Alright!"
"Hahaha, Zhao Shuai is indeed straightforward!"
Feng miesheng laughed and raised his cup to drink.
……
Outside the palace.
Fang ping was a little dazed.
Zhao xingwu as the commander of the left division?
Did old Zhang know?
Feng miesheng"s courage was not ordinary. The left division of the heavenly plant Army was a powerful force, and he just handed it over to Zhao xingwu?
Aren"t you afraid of some problems?
He still felt that it didn"t matter even if there were problems, since the heavenly plant Army was not his force.
"How should I evaluate Feng miesheng?"
For a moment, Fang ping could not tell if he was stupid or a traitor. This guy was a pure egoist. He would not care about the life and death of others if it was beneficial to him.
[Author"s note: I haven"t been in the right state for the past few days. The more I sleep, the more tired I feel. My writing isn"t satisfactory. I"ll make up for it soon if I"m short of one more update.]
