Chapter 105: The Banquet Begins, The Imperial Weapon Pan Emperor Sword, Jun Xiaoyao's Appointment at the Forbidden City!

Finally, half a month passed, and the day of the banquet arrived.

On this day, the entire imperial capital seemed to be boiling with excitement.

Forces from various major factions were all heading towards the Forbidden City in the center of the capital.

Many who weren't qualified to attend the banquet also followed along, hoping to at least watch the spectacle from outside.

Many were curious about which talented young man would win the hand of Wu Mingyue, the pearl of the Divine Dynasty.

The Pan Wu Divine Dynasty's palace, the Forbidden City.

The magnificent Forbidden City resembled the ancient heavenly court, carrying an air of authority.

Golden halls and cloud palaces, glazed tile roofs, divine mists swirling, and auspicious lights streaming.

From afar, it looked like the Jade Palace of Heaven.

Legend had it that this Forbidden City was built by countless craftsmen under the order of Emperor Pan Wu when establishing the Divine Dynasty.

It was also a major symbol of the Pan Wu Divine Dynasty.

As for the Pan Wu Mausoleum, it was located in the deep rear of the Forbidden City.

That place was the absolute forbidden ground of the Pan Wu Divine Dynasty. Without permission, anyone who approached would be killed without mercy.

At this moment, a grand feast was laid out in the Forbidden City.

Countless rare delicacies were being served by palace maids.

Many top powers and immortal legacies gathered together.

In one of the halls of the Forbidden City, Wu Mingyue, dressed in a crimson gown, sat at her dressing table.

Several palace maids were helping her arrange her hair.

Wearing the red gown, Wu Mingyue appeared even more enchantingly beautiful.

Her eyes were like autumn waters, eyebrows like ink paintings, her jade-like skin lightly powdered, lips red as cherry, incomparably gorgeous.

However, between her brows gathered an ineffable trace of melancholy.

A personal maid who had served her since childhood noticed and said, "Princess, today is the day you choose your consort, shouldn't you be happier?"

Hearing this, Wu Mingyue shook her head slightly and said, "Xier, how can I be happy when I cannot freely choose my other half?"

Wu Mingyue wondered if Xiao Chen would come.

Actually, she hoped he wouldn't.

Because even if Xiao Chen came, it wouldn't change anything.

Her father, the Pan Wu Divine Lord, would never let her marry someone with no background.

Unless Xiao Chen's talent was as monstrous as Jun Xiaoyao's, only then might he be valued.

But was that possible?

In the entire Desolate Heaven Spirit Domain, how many people could compare with Jun Xiaoyao in talent?

Xiao Chen was indeed very hardworking, but if hard work was enough, what would be the point of genius?

"Princess, you needn't be too downcast. Among those young talents, there might be someone worthy of you," Xier consoled.

"Heh, who? Perhaps you mean the Champion Marquis?" Wu Mingyue sneered.

She knew that Pan Wu Divine Lord had always wanted her to marry the Champion Marquis.

Not for any other reason, but because the Champion Marquis had gained the recognition of the Pan Emperor's Life Sword, and there was a slight possibility he was Emperor Pan Wu's reincarnation.

Of course, even if he wasn't, it didn't matter.

Because what Pan Wu Divine Lord wanted most was for the Champion Marquis to help him find the Three Pan Emperor Swords.

The Pan Emperor's Life Sword was just one of the Three Pan Emperor Swords.

Besides this, there were also the Pan Emperor's Time Sword and the Pan Emperor's Void Sword.

Legend had it that when the Three Pan Emperor Swords combined, they could transform back into Emperor Pan Wu's Emperor-level weapon, the Pan Emperor Sword.

Emperor weapons, also known as Ancient Emperor weapons or Supreme Emperor weapons, were the tools used by ancient emperors to prove their Dao, possessing immense power.

When an Emperor weapon moved, it could split the nine heavens, destroy eight directions of star regions, strike across the universe, and slaughter countless living beings!

To make an unrefined comparison, the deterrent power of an Emperor weapon was equivalent to nuclear weapons.

Generally, immortal legacies with Supreme Emperors in their ancestry all had Emperor weapons as foundation.

The Pan Wu Divine Dynasty originally had one too.

But later, the Pan Emperor Sword split into three.

The Pan Wu Divine Dynasty went through many upheavals, ultimately leading to the loss of the Three Pan Emperor Swords.

Until Yang Pan obtained the Pan Emperor's Life Sword, only then did the Pan Wu Divine Dynasty regain hope.

It was precisely because of this that the Pan Wu Divine Lord valued Yang Pan so highly, directly conferring upon him the title of Champion Marquis.

This caused Yang Pan's personality to become even more inflated, acting lawlessly throughout the Pan Wu Divine Dynasty like a local tyrant.

Hearing the words "Champion Marquis," Xier's eyes also flashed with disgust.

The Champion Marquis's reputation was truly terrible.

"Princess, you needn't worry. Perhaps someone will be able to suppress the Champion Marquis," Xier said, her face suddenly showing a look of admiration.

"You mean..." Wu Mingyue said.

"Yes, of course I mean the Jun Family's Divine Son. It's said he looks like an immortal, has a good personality, incredible strength, and unmatched background."

"He's absolutely the most perfect person in Xier's heart..." Xier spoke with intense admiration, her eyes sparkling with stars.

Good personality?

An immortal-like existence?

Wu Mingyue's jade face tensed.

Just another ignorant girl misled by rumors.

How could Jun Xiaoyao be an immortal? He was simply a devil who devoured people whole!

He showed her no mercy as a woman, and used despicable coercion to make her his slave.

Even now, Wu Mingyue kept this secret closely guarded.

"Don't mention him anymore," Wu Mingyue said coldly.

"Oh..." Seeing Wu Mingyue's expression change, Xier tactfully closed her mouth.

She thought Wu Mingyue was upset because of the Champion Marquis matter.

"I hope he doesn't come," Wu Mingyue prayed in her heart.

Otherwise, she truly wouldn't know how to face Jun Xiaoyao.

...

At the same time.

In a quiet courtyard with beautiful scenery within the imperial capital.

Immortal mists swirled, and auspicious light circled about.

There was a divine aura permeating the air.

In the courtyard, Jun Xiaoyao sat cross-legged on the ground.

The flowers and plants around him seemed nourished, appearing vibrant and lush.

Jun Xiaoyao's entire being emanated an otherworldly aura.

His right arm seemed to be branded with immortal patterns, like the arm of a celestial being.

From afar, Qin Xuan watched Jun Xiaoyao cultivate with amazement, her heart shocked.

That spectacle was too incredible.

To the side, the Nine-Headed Lion, transformed into a nine-headed Shiba Inu, lay lazily on the ground eating spirit beast meat.

"Young Master's aura is truly terrifying," Qin Xuan exclaimed.

"Master is simply a monster, this kind of scene is nothing unusual," the Nine-Headed Lion replied lazily.

At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao's body trembled slightly as he finished cultivating.

In front of him lay a pile of celestial sources that had lost their spiritual essence.

"Not bad, I've refined fourteen Greater Luo Immortal Bones, plus the previous six, making exactly twenty," Jun Xiaoyao muttered.

His right arm, including the wrist bones, palm bones, and finger bones, had a total of twenty bones refined into Greater Luo Immortal Bones.

The power had definitely increased much more than before.

"Still a bottomless pit. If only I could find a really wealthy leek to harvest," Jun Xiaoyao mused to himself.

However, after thinking about it, he hadn't found a suitable candidate yet.

As for Ye Xingyun, Jun Xiaoyao hadn't paid any attention to such a minor character.

He didn't even know about the changes that had occurred in him afterward.

"The banquet is about to begin," Jun Xiaoyao rose and walked over to Qin Xuan and the Nine-Headed Lion.

"Let's go," Jun Xiaoyao said.

"Where is Young Master going?" Qin Xuan asked.

"To the palace, to keep my appointment at the Forbidden City!" Jun Xiaoyao said with deep eyes.

"Appointment?" Qin Xuan was puzzled.

At this moment, the Nine-Headed Lion did a somersault and leaped into the air.

Golden light surged, shaking the heavens, causing all cultivators within ten miles to be startled.

Within the divine light, a majestic and mighty nine-headed lion appeared, roaring to the sky!

Jun Xiaoyao stepped into the void, standing directly on the Nine-Headed Lion's back.

"What's wrong, not coming along? This Divine Son said before, you might be able to look forward to something," Jun Xiaoyao looked down at Qin Xuan.

On the ground, Qin Xuan stood frozen like a clay statue.

As if her soul had left her body.

"Young Master is... the Jun Family's Divine Son?!"

Qin Xuan covered her cherry lips with her jade hands, unable to help crying out, as blood rushed to her head, making her face flush red.

Her mind spun, and she nearly fainted from excessive joy, excitement, and elation!
