    "Thousand Transformations, after so many years, your improvement is remarkable indeed. I have no way to contend against you, but you won’t be able to win against me either." The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s imposing voice rang out. The two of them were evenly matched against each other.


    "However, with just your current strength you are still unqualified to take the six prefectures from me. I’m not the only Immortal Emperor in my Eastern Sage Immortal Sect."


    As these words were spoken, the people of the Emperor City couldn’t help but feel their hearts tremble. The Eastern Sage Immortal Sect actually had other immortal emperor existences...could it be one of the four paragons that broke through?


    "I naturally know of this point. But why so hasty? Have a good feel of what is this." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord spoke again. After that, a period of silence hung in the air before the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor replied, "Fine. As expected, you came here well prepared. However, even if I give you the six prefectures to govern, how would your prefectures withstand the invasion of my Eastern Sage Army? You have to be clear of one point - the instant you govern the six prefectures means that you are dering war against my Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. My Eastern Sage Army would naturally embark on a punitive expedition to reconquer those prefectures."


    "I’m sure your forces are recently organized. My Eastern Sage Army will surely trample over your forces roughshod and there’s no other meaning to it than the deaths of the weak and inconsequential. After ruling over the thirteen prefectures for so long, my foundations here are so deep that you can’t even imagine. The forces you organized in a hurry won’t be a match for me, so how many immortal kings and immortal foundation experts would choose to submit to you?" The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor questioned.


    War in the immortal realms had its own set of rules. If those at the peak of two seperate powers were unequal, the stronger one would naturally rule. Just like the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, he is the strongest existence in the thirteen prefectures. Although a majority of the powers here didn’t belong to him, they would still have to take orders from him, acknowledging that he is the regent of this region.


    However, if both powers had experts that were equal in strength - an example would be the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor and the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord. If the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord wanted to redivide the territory of the thirteen prefectures he naturally had to have the qualifications to negotiate with the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. Unless the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was strong enough to crush him, chasing him away, he would have to negotiate with the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord to reach a mutually satisfied agreement. If not, if the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord retaliated in a fit of rage, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    If the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor agreed to the division and the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord managed to organize his own forces, this meant that both of them would function as rivals. In that case, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor could order his troops to storm and invade the six prefectures. As long as the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor didn’t directly attack the location where the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord established his base, the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord is not allowed to interfere in thebat among the forces beneath their level.


    Thebat would start from the lowest level, only at the end would immortal emperor existences fight. If not, if immortal emperors directly ughter the opponent’s lower level forces, that would be a cmity and the entire immortal realms would be barren with no existences of any powers at all.


    Hence, this was the rule in the immortal realms. Once a side broke this rule, the grudge between both parties would escte to the level of a death grudge where one wouldn’t rest until the other dies. Normally, no one would want to be in such a situation.


    "You don’t have to worry about that." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord replied.


    "Thousand Transformations, if you upy the six prefectures but you have no forces under you, wouldn’t that be meaningless too? If you are doing this just to humiliate me for what happened in the past, isn’t that a little too demeaning to people of our statuses?" The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor snorted coldly.


    "Let’s set a hundred year agreement as the limit. Within a hundred years, if the forces I organized are not a match for your troops I, Thousand Transformations, will voluntarily give up and return the six prefectures to you and never take a step into the thirteen prefectures in my entire life." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord stated. Since they were negotiating, both sides had topromise to reach a mutually eptable agreement.


    Both are immortal emperor characters, their temperaments are extraordinary and wouldn’t do meaningless things.


    "Just a hundred year is sufficient?" The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor asked.


    "A hundred years." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord replied. The two of them conversed in the air just like how old friends would chat. There was no fire in their tones at all. However, each of their sentences strung along the hearts of people in the Emperor City and at the immortal banquet. The content of their discussions would affect everyone in the thirteen prefectures.


    In addition, from the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s tone, it seemed that he has agreed to hand the six prefectures over to the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord for a hundred years.


    There was no noise in the air, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor seemed to be considering. To him, a hundred years of time was extremely short, only the blink of an eye. The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord’s request was really not too excessive.


    After all, both of them fought to a draw. This meant that his opponent had the qualifications to negotiate on dividing the thirteen prefectures with him. This was the authority people at the peak have.


    "I agree. The six prefectures at the western side: Cloud, Thunder, Rock, Yue, Supreme Moon and Western Desert will be given to you for a hundred years. During that hundred year period, if you organized your forces or set up a sect, my troops will move against you. Also, within three months, I will send out an order to withdraw everyone belonging to my Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. However you govern the six prefectures, that would be your own matter."


    The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor spoke and as the sound of his voice faded, the entire Emperor City became silent.


    The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was truly willing to divide his territory and allow the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord to govern six prefectures for a hundred years.


    This decision was simply too shocking. What spirit!


    Although to powerhouses at the peak, the sects and ns under them are all secondary. What was important was their own strength. However, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor treated the entire thirteen prefectures like his base, causing them to prosper and grow; yet he was still able to divide and give out six prefectures just like that with a single sentence. How could the hearts of people not tremble when they heard this?


    Qin Wentian who was on the ground below was extremely shocked. He didn’t expect that things would be so simple and peaceful. Just a single battle between the immortal emperors, in addition to a few sentences had already gained the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord six prefectures. But if the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord was weaker than the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, he wouldn’t be qualified to request a division at all, he would only be courting death.


    "Power is everything." Qin Wentian silently mused.


    In the air, the two figures gradually descended. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor swept his gaze over the experts at the immortal banquet and stated, "Earlier, I promised to give six prefectures to Thousand Transformations. All the affected prefecture lords head back immediately to prepare. All of you will temporary relocate to the Eastern Prefecture before awaiting for further instructions.


    "We hear and obey, your Majesty." The six affected prefecture lords bowed as they epted the order. However, their hearts were in turmoil.


    This was especially so for the prefecture lord of the Cloud Prefecture, the Idlecloud Immortal King. He struggled for so many years to climb up to this position and the forces he formed are all located there. This time, he came to participate in the immortal banquet and the results made him feel so much glory. Three out of the top ten were from his Cloud Prefecture, as well as two out of the top three. But the situationter caused him to be dumbfounded. Right now, his status as a prefecture lord would soon be removed and he had to await further instructions after relocating to the Eastern Prefecture. His hardwork and effort, over so many years of struggling, all vanished instantly into the clouds in one moment.


    This couldn’t help but cause the Idlecloud Immortal King to sigh. Truly, things are ever changing and heavenly fate is hard to predict.


    The Idlecloud Immortal King nced at Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen. These two outstanding geniuses were actually the disciples of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord. How dazzling would the radiance they emit in the future be? At the very least, they would be able to be immortal kings for sure.


    "The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord will bring the three of you back. However, he isn’t a member of our sect, he will bring you to a location and there will be seniors of the Heavenly Talisman Realm waiting there for you guys. Hence, do not reveal anything about the matters of the Heavenly Talisman Realm to the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord." Bai Wuya’s voice rang out within their minds. His words once again caused Qin Wentian’s heart to tremble violently as a bewildered look could be seen on his face.


    The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord wasn’t a member of the Heavenly Talisman Realm?


    Right now, the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord had already cancelled his thousand transformations technique and appeared above them. Indeed, he didn’t have the familiar presence of a member of the Heavenly Talisman Realm, he was not part of it...


    Qin Wentian’s mind went vacant for a second. Were all his conjectures earlier wrong?


    Then how did the Heavenly Talisman Realm arranged for the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord to take them away?


    However, his state of heart was extraordinary and the expression on his face soon returned to normal.


    Right now, the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord descended in front of them as he spoke to the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, "Eastern Sage, I’m bringing my people away now."


    "Since you came here personally, you naturally can bring them away." the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor gave a carefree smile as though what happened earlier had no way to shake the state of his heart. This truly made Qin Wentian look at him in a new light. He understood that despite everything, he had still underestimated people at the immortal emperor level. The states of heart of those who could reach this level must have already reached an unfathomably high degree.


    "Brother Eastern Sage, I look forward to our next battle. Farewell." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord smiled.


    "I’m filled with anticipation as well." The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor replied calmly. After that, a powerful surge of energy enveloped Qin Wentian, Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan as a brilliant light shed. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor took them away but Mo Wen was left behind. Since the three of them had already revealed the fact that they were fellow sect members, he would naturally bring the three of them away together. However, nobody knew of Mo Wen’s true identity yet.


    After they left, the atmosphere of the immortal banquet was heavy with silence. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor broke the silence, "Carry on with the banquet as per normal."


    "Yes, your Majesty." The people there nodded respectively but the hearts of everyone were no longer there. The Eastern Sage Immortal Sect formally issued the invitations to recruit the participants and only a very few rejected. The vast majority all agreed to join the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.


    Among the top ten participants, Mo Wen also chose to join the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. There were quite a few immortal kings who favored her potential.


    Bai Wuya quietly watched on. Although the Heavenly Talisman Realm had a rule that none of its members are able to take on others as a master, he understood that Mo Wen did so because she had epted another mission from the Heavenly Talisman Realm. Naturally, an exception to this rule could be made for her.


    Mo Wen’s current mission was precisely to infiltrate the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. For this point, Qin Wentian who had already left, naturally had no idea of this.


    At this moment, a voice echoed throughout Qin Wentian’s mind. That voice belonged to Princess ze, she transmitted her voice over to him just as he left.


    She was informing him on news regarding Qing`er!


    "City of Ancient Emperors, where is this ce?" Qin Wentian murmured. Princess ze told him that Qing`er was currently in the City of Ancient Emperors.


    The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord who was beside Qin Wentian couldn’t help but to have a gleam of sharpness sh through his eyes when he heard these words. Staring at the top ranker of the immortal banquet, a smile appeared on his face as he replied, "Cultivate well after you return. The City of Ancient Emperors is a ce full of monsters just like you!"
