Their expressions turned serious as they realized that the world was far more vast and powerful than they had imagined.
The profound heritage of the Venerable One's Mansion was even more unfathomable, leaving them with an unprecedented sense of awe.
Li Chengtian looked at Baili Dongjun and Wen Hujiu, who were stunned and numb, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, as if he had expected their reaction.
He slowly said:
"Okay, there's nothing strange about that."
You should know that I am in a different place than you are now.
In our region, experts at the Great Freedom Realm can achieve this level after eight to ten years of cultivation, provided they possess a certain level of talent.
"With talent like Baili Dongjun's, in our land, one could potentially reach the Divine Travel Realm after about ten years of diligent cultivation."
Wen Hujiu and Baili Dongjun were once again stunned by Li Chengtian's words.
They looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief, and for a moment they didn't know how to respond.
Seeing their expressions, Mingyue Xin chuckled and reminded them:
"Alright, you'll have opportunities to visit us in the future."
But shouldn't the key issue now be inviting the Lord into the palace?
Do you intend to have our Lord standing at the door forever?
Upon hearing Mingyue Xin's words, Baili Dongjun seemed to snap out of his daze and hurriedly bowed, apologizing:
"Your Excellency, I am truly sorry! I was rude just now."
What Your Excellency just said was so shocking that I was momentarily flustered.
Wenhu Jiu quickly chimed in:
"Yes, Your Majesty, it is truly astonishing."
I never imagined that such a heavenly place existed in the world.
Hearing their conversation, Li Chengtian's lips curled into a slight smile, and he slowly said:
"It's not exactly the Immortal Realm, but it's easier to cultivate there."
After hearing Li Chengtian's words, Baili Dongjun couldn't help but feel a longing for that mysterious place.
However, now is not the best time to discuss this issue.
So he quickly stepped aside and invited:
"Your Excellency, please enter the residence."
Immediately afterwards, Baili Dongjun and Wenhujiu led Li Chengtian and Mingyuexin into the mansion.
Along the way, everyone chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Li Chengtian's arrival brought a touch of mystery and solemnity to the mansion.
When the servants in the Zhenxi Marquis's mansion saw that Baili Dongjun had returned, they rushed to report to Baili Chengfeng like wild horses.
Upon hearing this news, Baili Chengfeng, who was sitting in his study, immediately rushed out of the study.
After all, he already knew about Baili Dongjun's use of the Western Chu Sword Song at the Sword Forest Tournament.
Da da da!
Just as Baili Chengfeng stepped out of the study, Baili Dongjun and Wen Hujiu, along with Li Chengtian and Mingyue Xin, walked towards him.
Baili Chengfeng looked up and saw Li Chengtian. Instantly, he felt a terrifying pressure coming towards him.
The pressure was like a huge mountain, causing his entire body to tremble.
Upon seeing Baili Chengfeng, Baili Dongjun led Li Chengtian to him and introduced them:
"Your Excellency, this is my father, Baili Chengfeng."
Then he said to Baili Chengfeng:
"Father, this is His Excellency, a highly skilled master. I am now His Excellency's subordinate, assisting him in his duties!"
After hearing Baili Dongjun's introduction, Li Chengtian suppressed his aura and smiled:
"The only son of the Marquis of Zhenxi, whose fame spread far and wide, soaring to great heights."
Baili Chengfeng could only barely maintain his standing posture when Li Chengtian withdrew his aura.
But large beads of sweat still slid down his cheeks, soaking his clothes.
His breathing became rapid, as if he had just gone through a fierce battle.
He was utterly shocked and horrified by Li Chengtian's strength, and so he quickly and respectfully said:
"Your Excellency is too kind. It is truly an honor for our Zhenxi Marquis's residence to have you as a guest!"
Dongjun, you must treat His Majesty well, you know?
"I have something to discuss with your uncle."
After saying that, he turned to Li Chengtian again and said:
"Your Majesty, let my son accompany you to stroll around the Marquis of Zhenxi's residence first, until I finish my business."
"I will certainly treat Your Excellency to a proper evening."
Then, he grabbed the wine warmer and, as if his feet were greased, quickly walked towards the backyard.
As Mingyue Xin watched Baili Chengfeng's departing figure, a slight smile appeared on her lips.
She didn't seem surprised by Baili Chengfeng's behavior; on the contrary, she found it somewhat amusing.
However, Baili Dongjun was somewhat embarrassed and at a loss because of his father's actions.
He quickly explained to Li Chengtian:
"That's just how my father is, he's decisive and efficient, please don't take offense, Your Majesty."
His face showed apology and helplessness, clearly embarrassed by his father's sudden departure.
Li Chengtian was well aware of Baili Chengfeng's thoughts. After all, the sudden appearance of a powerful figure in the manor would inevitably cause unease, and it was necessary to thoroughly understand the specific situation...
So he waved his hand to indicate his understanding, and said to Baili Chengfeng:
"It's nothing, I just like people who are decisive and efficient."
Then, he gave the following instructions:
"Let's go! Arrange a private room for me first. Later, when your father is done with his work, I have something to talk to him about."
Upon hearing this, Baili Dongjun immediately responded respectfully:
"Yes, Your Excellency, this way please."
He then led Li Chengtian to the side room.
Meanwhile, Baili Chengfeng hurriedly pulled Wenhu Jiu along, heading towards the direction where his wife was.
Along the way, Wenhu Jiu was somewhat bewildered by Baili Chengfeng's actions and couldn't help but ask:
"Brother-in-law! Just tell me what's wrong!"
Upon hearing Wen Hujiu's words, Baili Chengfeng finally stopped, turned around to look at Wen Hujiu, and said earnestly:
"Alright! Then tell me, who were those two terrifyingly powerful people just now?"
Why did you bring them back?
What is their purpose in coming to our Zhenxi Marquis's residence?
A barrage of questions came out of his mouth, revealing his inner worries and doubts.
Wen Hujiu shook his head after hearing Baili Chengfeng's words and said:
"To be honest, I don't know the origins of Your Excellency and the others. We met Your Excellency at the Yan family wedding in the Southwest Province."
When they first appeared, they subdued the Yan and Gu families with overwhelming force. Now they have come to the Marquis of Zhenxi’s mansion for a simple reason—His Majesty wants to come in person.
As for the specific purpose, I guess it's to bring the Marquis of Zhenxi's mansion under their control as well.
Upon hearing Wen Hujiu's words, Baili Chengfeng's face instantly darkened, and he roared furiously:
"Since you already knew why they came, why did you bring them along?"
Wen Hujiu sighed helplessly and said with a wry smile, "Brother-in-law! There's really no other way!"
You simply cannot imagine how terrifying His Excellency's power is!
Let me tell you, that woman who was standing next to His Excellency just now...
Her strength has reached the level of a half-step Divine Realm cultivator.
Moreover, besides her, His Majesty also brought a half-step Divine Realm expert and ten Great Freedom Realm experts who were waiting at an inn not far away.
Furthermore, with Your Excellency being a master of the Divine Realm, even if I hadn't brought Your Excellency and the others along...
"Does this mean that His Excellency and the others will never come to your Marquis of Zhenxi's residence?"
Upon hearing Wen Hujiu's words, Baili Chengfeng's eyes widened instantly, and he exclaimed in surprise:
"How is this possible? One cultivator at the Divine Realm, two at the Half-Step Divine Realm, and ten at the Great Freedom Realm... This..."
