Awaiting Your Arrival

Yesterday, this Big Dipper Empire general had wanted to seize Lu Yiping and the others, but now, upon 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 cupped his fists toward Lu Yiping.

Above a general was a marshal.

However, in the various great empires, only God Realm experts could become grand marshals.

This Chen Yuan before them was merely a seventh-level Great Emperor.

Of course, a seventh-level Great Emperor serving as a general was still a figure of immense importance in the Big Dipper Empire.

Lu Yiping nodded, then sat down. "What is it?" He did not even invite the other man to sit.

Chen Yuan frowned. Thinking of the Great Emperor's orders this time, he suppressed the displeasure in his heart and said, "By the Great Emperor's command, I have come to invite Young Master Lu to attend our empire's celebration." He then took out a golden invitation.

Song Ning stepped forward, accepted 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 wrote ten invitations. Young Master Lu's is one of them."

Afraid that Lu Yiping still did not understand how precious this invitation was, he added, "Two of them were sent to Young Master Yun Haitian and Empress Baihua."

Upon hearing these two names, Song Ning was greatly shaken. "Young Master Yun Haitian! Empress Baihua!"

Yun Haitian!

Empress Baihua!

These two were among the most famous figures on the Divine Martial Continent over the past century.

Any force worthy of mention on the Divine Martial Continent had certainly heard of them.

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

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

Yun Haitian possessed the bearing of twin Saints and had two Saint Physiques. Whether in the sword dao or the zither dao, his attainments were extraordinarily high. He was the young master of the Yun Family, one of the four great families of the Divine Martial Continent.

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

Empress Baihua was the ruler of the Baihua Empire.

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

Not only was Empress Baihua beautiful, she was also unmarried. Like Zhou Ding Tian, the Great Emperor of the Big Dipper Empire, she was a founding Great Emperor. The Baihua Empire had been built by her own hands, not inherited from her forebears.

"That is correct, Young Master Yun Haitian and Empress Baihua." Chen Yuan smiled.

"Go back and tell your Great Emperor that I will attend the celebration when the time comes," Lu Yiping said.

Chen Yuan smiled. "Good. We shall await Young Master Lu's arrival." Then he took his leave.

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

This was simply a supreme honor.

It was an honor that even many God Realm experts did not possess.

Lu Yiping opened the invitation. There were not many words upon it, merely a dozen or so characters. They danced like dragons and soared like phoenixes, carrying an air of arrogance, dominance, and an emperor overlooking all under heaven.

"The handwriting is passable, I suppose," Lu Yiping said after a glance.

Although the Big Dipper Empire had only been founded for ten thousand years, the fact that it could become the number one empire of the Divine Martial Continent showed that Zhou Ding Tian was no ordinary man.

Though Yun Haitian and Empress Baihua were renowned throughout the Divine Martial Continent, they still fell quite short compared to Zhou Ding Tian.

The legendary deeds concerning Zhou Ding Tian were even more numerous than the hairs on an ox.

However, Lu Yiping also knew that Zhou Ding Tian had invited him not because he thought Lu Yiping could rival Yun Haitian or Empress Baihua, but because of Su Xiu of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect!

It seemed the other party had mistaken him for Su Xiu's disciple or junior relative?

Hearing Lu Yiping say that the Big Dipper Great Emperor Zhou Ding Tian's handwriting was merely passable, Song Ning broke out in a cold sweat.

He stole a glance and saw that the characters on the invitation carried an overwhelming force of an emperor overlooking all under heaven, while astonishing Sword Qi seemed ready to shoot into the sky.

Clearly, those simple dozen or so characters contained the Supreme Sword Dao.

Song Ning swallowed.

And this was merely passable?

Afterward, Song Ning respectfully bowed to Lu Yiping and withdrew. He was now impatient to refine that Divine Spirit Golden Core.

After Song Ning returned to his room to cultivate, Lu Yiping went to the courtyard where Lu Peng and Lu Xiaoyu lived.

Lu Peng and Lu Xiaoyu were sparring with the Asura Sword Technique.

Sword Qi crisscrossed the courtyard.

Yet the Sword Qi only circled within the courtyard and did not leak beyond its walls.

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

Clearly, the two had put in painstaking effort over the past month.

"Young Master." Upon seeing Lu Yiping arrive, Lu Peng and Lu Xiaoyu stopped cultivating and hurried over, greeting him respectfully.

"You have cultivated the Asura Sword Technique well." Lu Yiping smiled.

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

Lu Yiping shook his head. "It is not that you are stupid. From the twentieth move onward, the Asura Sword Technique requires profound True Essence to cultivate successfully. 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 immediately passed through their bodies and merged into their dantians.

"Those were two True God Golden Cores. I have now fused them into your dantians. When you cultivate in the future, the medicinal power of these True God Golden Cores will gradually disperse, merge into your dantians, transform into your True Essence, and help you rapidly raise your realms," Lu Yiping said.

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

Before the Asura Gate had been destroyed, even its sect master had not been an Ancient Emperor. True Gods were existences they had not even dared to dream of.

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

After all, the Asura Gate had been founded by his friend, and he did not wish to see it vanish just like that.

"Many thanks for your great kindness, Young Master!" Lu Peng and Lu Xiaoyu snapped back to their senses and prostrated themselves on the ground. Lu Peng, a grown man, even had reddened eyes.

Lu Yiping had the two rise, did not disturb their cultivation further, and then left the courtyard.

After leaving the courtyard, Lu Yiping took the Dragon Horn Golden Ox and Zhang Jin's group out of the residence for a casual stroll.

Not long after they left the residence, 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 side by side, chatting freely and laughing together.
