Heaven, Earth, Mystic, Yellow
Of course, in the Imperial Capital of the Heavenly Serpent Empire, Xiao Lin could clearly feel that the Spiritual Energy here was a level higher than that of other places in the Northwest Continent.
It can be said that this is the best piece of land in the entire Northwest Continent.
Even the concentration of Spiritual Energy is a level higher than in other parts of the Northwest Continent. No wonder the people of the Heavenly Serpent Empire are on average much stronger than those of other countries.
As Xiao Lin walked along the streets of the Imperial Capital of the Heavenly Serpent Empire, he saw that Da Dou Shi were as common as dogs, Dou Ling were everywhere, and even Dou Wang were a rare sight.
Those below the Da Dou Shi are actually in the minority!
This is the Heavenly Serpent Empire, the dominant power in the entire Northwest Continent!
Based solely on Xiao Lin's perception, Jia Nan Academy, excluding himself and Dean Mang Tianchi, is indeed slightly inferior to the Heavenly Serpent Empire.
Rather, it's Dean Mang Tianchi who raised the bar for the Jia Nan Academy!
In fact, it wasn't just the Imperial Capital of the Heavenly Serpent Empire.
Xiao Lin had this feeling after entering the territory of the Heavenly Serpent Empire.
It should be noted that even the other cities in the Heavenly Serpent Empire are far more prosperous than those in most other countries.
It is no exaggeration to say that the first-tier cities within the Heavenly Serpent Empire are not much inferior to the Imperial Capital of the Jia Ma Empire.
If the two countries really went to war, Xiao Lin estimated that even seven or eight Jia Ma Empire combined wouldn't be enough to defeat the Heavenly Serpent Empire.
The difference between the two is simply too great!
This also shows just how far a mid-sized empire like the Jia Ma Empire is from a hegemonic power like the Heavenly Serpent Empire on the Northwest Continent.
That difference can truly be described as "worlds apart"!
After strolling around the Imperial Capital of the Heavenly Serpent Empire for a while, observing the local customs and culture, Xiao Lin headed directly towards the Imperial Palace.
The Imperial Palace of the Heavenly Serpent Empire is the most luxurious and tallest building in the entire Imperial Capital!
Once you enter the Imperial Capital of the Heavenly Serpent Empire, you can basically see it just by looking up.
Therefore, Xiao Lin naturally doesn't need to worry about getting lost.
Soon, Xiao Lin arrived at the entrance to the Imperial Palace of the Heavenly Serpent Empire.
Similarly, the Imperial Palace of the Heavenly Serpent Empire is far superior to that of the Jia Ma Empire.
After Xiao Lin arrived, he presented his invitation and was quickly welcomed inside by the guards at the entrance of the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Palace.
Since the invitation was extended to the Jia Nan Academy to participate in the Founding Ceremony, the Dou Zong from the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family must have left an invitation for the Jia Nan Academy.
At the same time, after Xiao Lin arrived and presented his invitation, a palace guard hurriedly headed towards the depths of the Imperial Palace.
Clearly, he went to report the news.
Since Xiao Lin came representing Jia Nan Academy, how could the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family not be prepared?
Sure enough, not long after Xiao Lin followed one of the palace guards into the Imperial Palace, an old man flew out from the deepest part of the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Palace and headed straight for Xiao Lin.
"Call out"
In a short while, the old man appeared in front of Xiao Lin.
"Haha, honored guests! The Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family has truly failed to greet you properly. Please forgive us!"
After landing about ten meters away from Xiao Lin, the old man walked over while laughing heartily, and clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.
The fact that this old man could fly within the Imperial Palace of the Heavenly Serpent Empire shows that his identity is definitely extraordinary!
Furthermore, Xiao Lin had already sensed that the other party was a Dou Zong the moment he flew out from the depths of the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Palace.
He's a Five-Star Dou Zong!
The fact that a Five-Star Dou Zong was sent to receive Xiao Lin demonstrates just how much the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family values Xiao Lin, the envoy from the Jia Nan Academy.
In particular, this powerful Five-Star Dou Zong from the Heavenly Serpent Empire became even more respectful after realizing he couldn't see through Xiao Lin's cultivation level.
This is a Dou Zong whose strength surpasses even mine!
The Dou Zong from the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family before him made his judgment.
"You flatter us. As fellow members of the Northwest Continent, how could we refuse your invitation to the Jia Nan Academy to participate in the 800th anniversary Founding Ceremony?"
At this moment, Xiao Lin also clasped his hands in greeting to the Five-Star Dou Zong expert from the Heavenly Serpent Empire who had approached.
Xiao Lin's principle has always been: if someone treats me with respect, I will treat them with even greater respect.
Moreover, he came to the Heavenly Serpent Empire to participate in the Founding Ceremony, and might even need to reach a deal with the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family, so naturally he wouldn't choose to be cold towards them at this time.
"It is truly an honor for our Imperial Family that Jia Nan Academy is willing to participate in the Founding Ceremony of our Heavenly Serpent Empire! You may leave now; I will escort the distinguished guests from the Jia Nan Academy inside."
The Five-Star Dou Zong expert from the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family first complimented Xiao Lin again, then waved to the palace guards who had led Xiao Lin there.
"Yes!"
After bowing respectfully, the guard from the Heavenly Serpent Empire's Dou Ling Palace immediately left.
That's right, the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family has now become so extravagant that they use Dou Ling as guards at the palace gates.
You should know that in the Jia Ma Empire, even Dou Ling can become a powerful figure in their own right!
This once again highlights the difference between the two.
"Distinguished guests of the Jia Nan Academy, this way please!"
After the palace guards left, the Five-Star Dou Zong expert from the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family gestured for Xiao Lin to enter.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin nodded.
Following closely behind the Five-Star Dou Zong expert from the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family, Xiao Lin headed deeper into the Imperial Palace, keeping a half-step distance.
On the way, the two of them, of course, didn't remain silent the whole time, but chatted with each other.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must be Elder Lin Xiao, who joined Canaan Academy four years ago?"
Even though Xiao Lin didn't mention his name, this Five-Star Dou Zong expert from the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family blurted it out.
It's clear that even though no one is studying at the Jia Nan Academy, the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family still maintains a certain level of control over information in the Black-Corner Region!
After all, as the top powers in the Northwest Continent, both the Heavenly Serpent Empire and Jia Nan Academy naturally have some knowledge of each other's top combat strength.
According to the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family, after excluding Mang Tianchi, the only Dou Zong left in the Jia Nan Academy are First Elder Su Qian, two Grand Elder Qian Mu and Bai Lie, and Lin Xiao, who chose to the Jia Nan Academy four years ago.
After eliminating the other three, this Five-Star Dou Zong powerhouse from the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family naturally guessed Xiao Lin's identity.
Xiao Lin wasn't surprised that the other party had guessed his identity. He simply nodded and then asked, "Then, which of the Heaven, Earth, Mystic, Yellow ranks in the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family are you?"
Just as the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family has a certain understanding of the Jia Nan Academy, so too does Jia Nan Academy have a certain understanding of the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family!
The four Dou Zong in the Heaven, Earth, Mystic, Yellow Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family Emperor.
Upon hearing Xiao Lin's question, this Five-Star Dou Zong expert from the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family grinned and replied, "Elder Lin, you may call me Earth Serpent!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin finally understood.
The Five-Star Dou Zong powerhouse before us is none other than Di She, the Earth Serpent -ranked of the four Dou Zong of the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family!
Generally speaking, members of the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family address him as the Earth Serpent Ancestor!
