Beastmaster of the Ages

Imperial City, Samsara Mirror Lake.

This is a round lake, as wide as the sea, with clear water.

When the moonlight falls, the lake looks like a mirror from a distance. Therefore, the ancestors of the ancient royal family named it ‘Samsara Mirror Lake’.

Because of this name, which is similar to the ‘Samsara Mirror’, Samsara Mirror Lake became a holy place in the imperial city.

Around the Samsara Mirror Lake, many splendid palace pavilions have been built, with five steps to the first floor and ten steps to the pavilion. Flowers are like brocade, and colorful lights are like sparks, spreading endlessly for thousands of meters.

Tonight's 'Fireworks Feast' will be held on the edge of Samsara Mirror Lake.

at this time--

Emperor Yu has not yet arrived, but the royal family is already inviting guests to enter.

Those who can participate in the fireworks feast are basically either rich or noble, and are the upper class figures in the entire Kingdom of God.

The strongest and most powerful people in the country, including all the clans, leaders of all realms, civil servants and generals, relatives of the emperor, etc., will all come here today to meet Emperor Yu.

This was the first fireworks feast held by Emperor Yu after he ascended the throne, so it was particularly grand.

The entire Kingdom of God was boiling because of this.

Young people like Li Tianming and others are not actually the protagonists of the banquet. At most, they are here to play tricks for the entertainment of the elders.

The key to the feast lies in the banquet itself. It lies in the newly ascended Emperor Yu, who entertains the world's powerful men!

Next to Samsara Mirror Lake, in a ‘Lake Tower’——

A group of young disciples from the Dongyang Royal Family, the Jiang Royal Family, the Gu Clan, etc., who were dressed in luxurious brocade clothes and jewelry, and were extremely noble, first gathered here.

They sat cross-legged, and the table in front of them was already filled with delicious food.

There is also a stunning woman in the hall, as soft as a snake, dancing in the midst of vocal music.

At the top of the hall, sat a majestic and domineering man wearing a black and gold robe. Half of the man's face was black, but it did not affect his handsomeness at all, let alone the majestic atmosphere. On the contrary, it added three points to the atmosphere. Cold and severe, three points of majesty, enough to be powerful without anger.

This is the current crown prince - Dongyang Fengchen!

On his left and right, there were at least dozens of young people, arranged in two rows.

The closest ones are naturally the young people from the Dongyang Royal Family, followed by the Jiang Royal Family, the Gu Clan and so on.

Among everyone's compliments and toasts, Dongyang Fengchen looked like an emperor among the younger generation!

He is neither happy nor angry, and his thoughts are unpredictable. In this situation, a young man with insufficient status will inevitably remain silent.

At this time, singing and dancing are in full swing.

Dongyang Fengchen remained silent, his eyes falling on the leading dancer.

The dancing girl is covered with soft gauze, her skin is snow-white, her body is soft, her dancing posture is moving, and her appearance is also the beauty of heaven and country. Once you take a look at it, you will never forget it in your life.

Especially those eyes, which seem to be able to speak, looking forward and seductive.

Of course, all her eyes were on Dongyang Fengchen.

The changes in the eyes are integrated into the music and dance, which seems to be infinitely heartfelt.

Except for Dongyang Fengchen, no one dared to look at her.

After a long time, the dance is over.

The dancing girl walked forward and came to Dongyang Fengchen's side. She sat down with her legs bent and her curves were enchanting.

She poured wine for Dongyang Fengchen and then served him to drink. She was very familiar with him. Her eyes were always on this man, affectionate.

At this time, someone came in and reported: "Your Highness, Li Tianming and Ye Lingfeng have arrived."

Until this moment, Dongyang Fengchenfang grinned.

The previously tense atmosphere soon relaxed.

"How brave."

"Now, it's fun."

The young people laughed.

Dongyang Fengchen stretched out his hand, hugged Wu Ji's slim waist, and asked: "Qingqing, have you made it clear to your pavilion master?"

"Your Highness, let me make it clear. As long as they come, we will arrange opponents for them." Wu Ji said obediently.

"Very good. Who arranged it?"

"According to His Highness's instructions, four people at the eighth level of the Earthly Saint Realm were arranged. These are already the four weakest people among those who can be chosen." Wu Ji said.

"Well, which four? Come forward." Dongyang Fengchen said.

In the hall, four young men and women walked out, bowing their heads and standing in front of Dongyang Fengchen.

"Do you know what to do?" Dongyang Fengchen asked.

"Back to Your Highness, we know that by then, we will all go through a 'hard battle', and then lose to Li Tianming and Ye Lingfeng, and send them to the divine burial. We will definitely behave so that even the elders can't tell the difference." Four A Dongyang royal family disciple came out from the crowd and answered.

"Very good. If I don't perform well and mess up, I will settle the score with you." Dongyang Fengchen said.

"yes!"

"Back off."

"yes!"

"Brother Ninth, I'm a little confused..." The speaker was a young man from the Dongyang royal family who was very close to Dongyang Fengchen. He was tall and thin, as long as a stick, and had an outstanding bearing, a little less domineering, but a little more chic.

"Huh?" Dongyang Fengchen was a little unhappy.

"Your Highness! I was wrong..." The young man broke into a cold sweat.

He knew that even though he was also the son of Emperor Yu and had the same father and mother as Dongyang Fengchen, it was inappropriate to call him Ninth Brother now.

He is Emperor Yu's fourteenth prince, Dongyang Fengxiao, who is twenty-eight years old this year.

He and Dongyang Fengchen's mother, who is now the queen of the dynasty, gave birth to their brothers one after another.

"Tell me your doubts." Dongyang Fengchen said.

"Li Tianming is a beast. He killed his eldest brother's son Dong Yangzhuo and is still so arrogant. Isn't it just to take revenge on him by inviting him to this fireworks feast? Why do we have to specially select the weak one and give him two consecutive victories? Dongyang Fengxiao asked.

"It's very simple. Even the most extreme revenge at the banquet can't save our royal family's face. Only by letting him enter the Divine Burial. At that time, calling the sky to be unresponsive and the earth to be unresponsive can we make him... Everyone knows that you want to be stimulated. , you have to play slowly." Dongyang Fengchen smiled.

Everyone laughed.

"But, if our royal family loses again, wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing? At least it will be a little uncomfortable before entering the divine burial." The speaker was a woman wearing black tights. There was something about her that was very similar to Dongyang Fengchen. , that is: she also has half of her face, which appears black, but the color is very light.

This made her originally excellent appearance look a bit awkward.

However, although it has lost its beauty, its majesty and aura have been greatly improved, making it innately awe-inspiring.

Her name is Jiang Fengyue. She ranks nineteenth among Emperor Yu's children. She is also the daughter of the Queen. She is five years younger than Dongyang Fengxiao and is only twenty-three this year.

Her talent exceeds that of Dongyang Zhuo and her brother Dongyang Fengxiao.

If not, as a woman, she has no right to hang out with the prince!

Obviously, she couldn't wait.

She wanted to take this breath today.

She was present on the day of the decisive battle on the ground list.

Li Tianming's "Jiu Ming Clan" made her so angry that she even killed several eunuchs and maids, but she couldn't swallow this breath.

"Feng Yue, His Highness the Crown Prince wants to ask Li Tianming to bring the woman named Jiang Feiling to the divine burial."

"Today, we let Li Tianming be arrogant again. When the time comes, he will be miserable."

The person who answered Jiang Fengyue was the dancing girl beside the prince. She answered in a soft voice, letting everyone know the true purpose of Dongyang Fengchen.

"Did I let you say it?" Dongyang Fengchen glanced at Wu Ji.

The dancer lowered her head, not daring to say anything more.

Everyone knows that the prince likes to hunt for women.

He collected beauties from all ethnic groups, including the sisters Jiang Yutong and Jiang Yufei who belonged to the Jiang royal family. They fell into the hands of the prince at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

"I heard that the woman named Jiang Feiling pushed Sister Qingqing to second place on the beauty list chosen by busybodies..."

In this way, it is not surprising that His Highness the Crown Prince is eyeing Jiang Feiling.

Dongyang Fengchen is not special. It is the tradition of ancient royal princes to find the most outstanding and talented girls and bring them into the palace.

Children and grandchildren with astonishing talents are the most important trump cards of all royal families.

Some people even say that if it weren't for Prince Dongyang Fengchen's nine-headed talent, Emperor Yu might not be able to take the throne now.

"Okay! Then let him be arrogant for a few more days." Jiang Fengyue said with hatred.

"Sister, gaining fame during the fireworks feast will make people inflated. You hate him so much, and when you enter the Divine Burial, you will have many opportunities to vent your anger. Don't worry, Li Tianming is not qualified to let His Highness look at him more. ." Dongyang Fengxiao said with a smile.

He was right, Dongyang Fengchen had many competitors, such as the eldest prince Dongyang Fen.

He was already thirty, and in his eyes, the only value of a teenage Li Tianming was Jiang Feiling.

"The last time Li Tianming took action, his strength was around the seventh level of the Earth Saint Realm. It's a pity that we can't find the seventh level here to help him."

"I hope he can make some progress, otherwise it will be difficult to act."

Everyone was talking and laughing.

"The elders are about to take their seats, please get down." Dongyang Fengchen stood up and said.

"yes!"

Everyone walked down together.

"Qingqing stays," Dongyang Fengchen said.

The dancer next to him was startled for a moment and stood there with a melancholy look in her eyes.

"Why have you become stupid today? If you shouldn't say anything, do you have to say it?" Dongyang Fengchen said.

"I'm pregnant." Mai Ji said.

"how long?"

"More than a month."

"Get rid of it first. Wait until you are over forty and try again. It is still a critical moment for cultivation. Having children is a waste of your time and will make your figure worse." Dongyang Fengchen said.

"good."

"So you think you can control me just because you're pregnant?" Dongyang Fengchen squinted at her.

"No, I just want to get closer."

"We can't get any closer. There is no place for a woman beside me. You have to be smart and still be the head of the 'Tian Yuan Palace', but you have to mind my business..."

"A dead end?" Dancer asked blankly.

"It's great to always be so smart." Dongyang Fengchen said with a cold look.

…

Fireworks feast begins!

Li Tianming followed his elders to the edge of Samsara Mirror Lake.

A grand banquet has been prepared here for a long time. As the strong men of Shifang Dao Palace, their seats are very high, second only to the Dongyang royal family.

It seemed that Emperor Yu gave them a lot of face.

Samsara Mirror Lake is very large. When you stand by the lake, you can enjoy the dreamlike clarity, especially above the bright moon, the waves are sparkling, as if covered with a layer of fluorescent powder.

Colored lanterns were hung high around the banquet!

Under the guidance of the royal welcoming guests, powerful guests from all over took their seats one by one and exchanged greetings with each other.

As juniors, Li Tianming and the others could just sit in the corner.

Li Tianming took a look and found that he didn't know many of the powerful officials and clan elders present.

As for the ancient royal family, there are characters such as Dongyang Fen, Jiang An, Jiang Xiao, Jiang Silhouette, etc.!

As for the ancient clan, there is Wei Ji, the leader of the Tanlang Ancient Clan, and there seems to be people from the Taotie Ancient Clan and the Bifang Ancient Clan. These are the three strongest ancient clans now.

also--

The three Supreme Beings Chongyang, Jingyue and Lingxing of the ancient Qilin clan are all here!
