Waiting for Your Arrival

Yesterday, this Big Dipper Empire general wanted to arrest Lu Yiping and the others, but now, seeing Lu Yiping approach, he wore a smile.

"I am Chen Yuan, a general of the Big Dipper Empire. Greetings, Young Master Lu," Chen Yuan said, cupping his fists towards Lu Yiping.

Above a general, there is a marshal.

However, in the major empires, only experts in the God Realm can become marshals.

This Chen Yuan before him is only at the seventh level of the Great Emperor realm.

Of course, a general at the seventh level of the Great Emperor realm is still quite influential in the Big Dipper Empire.

Lu Yiping nodded, then sat down. "What is it?" He didn't invite the other party to sit.

Chen Yuan frowned, recalling the Great Emperor's command this time, and suppressed his displeasure. "I am here on the Great Emperor's orders to invite Young Master Lu to our empire's celebration." He then produced a golden invitation.

Song Ning stepped forward, took the golden invitation, and presented it to Lu Yiping.

Chen Yuan smiled, "This invitation was personally inscribed by our Great Emperor. For this celebration, our Great Emperor personally inscribed ten invitations, and this one for Young Master Lu is one of them."

Fearing that Lu Yiping might not know the value of the invitation, he added, "Two of them were given to Young Master Yun Haitian and Empress Baihua."

Hearing these two names, Song Ning's heart trembled. "Young Master Yun Haitian! Empress Baihua!"

Yun Haitian!

Empress Baihua!

These two were among the most famous individuals on the Divine Martial Continent in the last hundred years.

Any influential force on the Divine Martial Continent would have certainly heard of them.

"Oh, Yun Haitian, Empress Baihua." Lu Yiping's expression remained unchanged.

Although he had only emerged into the world for just over a month, he had heard of these two.

Yun Haitian, possessing the potential of a dual saint and two great saint bodies, had extremely high attainments in both swordsmanship and music. He was the young master of the Yun Family, one of the four great families on the Divine Martial Continent.

He was also one of the youngest God Realm experts on the Divine Martial Continent!

Empress Baihua was the empress of the Hundred Flowers Empire.

There were hundreds of empires on the Divine Martial Continent, and the Hundred Flowers Empire was one of the ten strongest.

Empress Baihua was not only beautiful but also single. Like the Big Dipper Empire's Great Emperor Zhou Ding Tian, she was a founding emperor. The Hundred Flowers Empire was built by Empress Baihua herself, not inherited from her ancestors.

"That's right, it is indeed Young Master Yun Haitian and Empress Baihua," Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"Tell your Great Emperor that I will attend the celebration," Lu Yiping said.

Chen Yuan smiled, "Very well, we shall await Young Master Lu's arrival then." He then took his leave.

After Chen Yuan departed, Song Ning smiled at Lu Yiping. "Young Master, I never expected the Big Dipper Great Emperor to personally inscribe the invitation and have General Chen Yuan deliver it to you."

This was an unparalleled honor.

Even many God Realm experts did not receive such a distinction.

Lu Yiping opened the invitation. There were few words, only a dozen or so, written in a bold, powerful script that exuded an aura of arrogance, dominance, and the might of an emperor descending upon the world.

"His calligraphy is passable," Lu Yiping commented after a glance.

Although the Big Dipper Empire had not been established for long, only ten thousand years, its rise to become the foremost empire on the Divine Martial Continent demonstrated Zhou Ding Tian's extraordinary capabilities.

Despite Yun Haitian and Empress Baihua's fame across the Divine Martial Continent, they were still considerably inferior to Zhou Ding Tian.

Zhou Ding Tian's legendary deeds were countless.

However, Lu Yiping also knew that Zhou Ding Tian's invitation was not because he believed Lu Yiping was comparable to Yun Haitian and Empress Baihua, but because of Su Xiu of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect!

It seemed the other party mistakenly believed he was a disciple or nephew of Su Xiu?

Song Ning was speechless upon hearing Lu Yiping describe the Big Dipper Great Emperor Zhou Ding Tian's calligraphy as merely passable.

He stole a glance and saw that the characters on the invitation exuded the aura of an emperor descending upon the world, with an astonishing sword energy that seemed poised to pierce the heavens.

Clearly, these simple dozen-odd characters contained the supreme essence of the Way of the Sword.

Song Ning swallowed.

And he called that passable?

Afterward, Song Ning bowed respectfully to Lu Yiping and retreated. He was now eager to refine the Divine Spirit Golden Core.

With Song Ning returning to his room to cultivate, Lu Yiping went to the courtyard of Lu Peng and Lu Xiaoyu.

Lu Peng and Lu Xiaoyu were sparring, practicing the Asura Sword Technique.

Sword energy crisscrossed the courtyard.

However, the sword energy remained confined within the courtyard and did not leak outside.

Compared to when Lu Yiping first met them over a month ago, their swordsmanship had improved by more than one level.

Clearly, they had put in considerable effort over the past month.

"Young Master." Lu Peng and Lu Xiaoyu stopped their practice upon seeing Lu Yiping's arrival and quickly came over, greeting him respectfully.

"You've cultivated the Asura Sword Technique well," Lu Yiping said with a smile.

Lu Peng scratched his head and said sheepishly, "I'm too foolish. I still can't master the twentieth move of the Asura Sword Technique."

Lu Yiping shook his head. "It's not that you're foolish. From the twentieth move onwards, the Asura Sword Technique requires profound True Essence to be mastered. Your realms are too low." As he spoke, he took out two True God Golden Cores and flicked them.

The two True God Golden Cores instantly pierced through the two men's bodies and merged into their dantian.

"Those were two True God Golden Cores just now. Now, I'm integrating these two True God Golden Cores into your dantian. In the future, when you cultivate, the medicinal power of these True God Golden Cores will slowly dissipate, merging into your dantian and transforming into your True Essence, helping you rapidly increase your realm," Lu Yiping said.

"True God Golden Cores!" Lu Peng and Lu Xiaoyu were completely stunned.

Before the Asura Gate was destroyed, even the sect master of the Asura Gate, who wasn't an Ancient Emperor, couldn't have imagined the existence of True Gods.

"Cultivate well," Lu Yiping said. "Rebuild the Asura Gate in the future."

After all, the Asura Gate was founded by his good friend, and he didn't want it to disappear like this.

"Thank you for your great kindness, Young Master!" Lu Peng and Lu Xiaoyu snapped out of their daze, prostrating themselves on the ground. Lu Peng, a grown man, even had tears welling up in his eyes.

Lu Yiping had the two men get up and left the courtyard without disturbing their cultivation.

Leaving the courtyard, Lu Yiping brought the Dragon Horn Golden Ox and went for a stroll with Zhang Jin and the others outside the manor.

Not long after they left the manor, they encountered experts from the Wuji Dynasty, the Xiao Family, and the Zheng Family.

Xiao Changfeng, Princess Tai Yan, and Zheng Yue were riding their mounts, walking side by side, chatting animatedly and laughing.
