The Phoenix Heaven Palace was very spacious and decorated with carved beams and painted rafters. It was a magnificent and majestic sight. Many thrones were placed inside, and people from the City Lord’s mansion were entertaining guests from all over.
When Qin Chen and Lord Dragon stepped into the Phoenix Heaven Palace, the City Lord’s mansion was immediately alarmed. The current City Lord of Phoenix City, a senior Bahuang Venerable, personally came out to welcome the two of them with great hospitality.
Not only did he recognize Lord Dragon, the Venerable of the dragon race, but he also saw Qin Chen. Qin Chen’s body was surrounded by a clear light and emanated a trace of Sagely might. It was shocking.
He was a Sage.
Without a doubt, Qin Chen’s appearance at the All Races Banquet as a Sage added one more Sage to the human.
Phoenix City Lord was rather excited, but he didn’t recognize Qin Chen immediately.
“This is the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land and the minister of the Great Qin Dynasty. And he is also a Sage,” Lord Dragon said.
Phoenix City Lord suddenly became respectful. “I’ve long heard that there’s an Elder King in the Taiyi Holy Land. His cultivation prowess is unfathomable, and everyone says that he’s a Bahuang Venerable. I only know now that the Elder King is also a Sage.”
He sighed from the bottom of his heart.
How many Sages were there today?
For example, there were more than a dozen ancient Sages present. Whether they belonged to humans or the various races in the primordial era, all of them were ancient Sages in deep sleep or Sages being sealed from the primordial era or other eras. However, the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land was a true Sage who had proven his way and became a Sage, so he could not be disrespected.
Those who could become Sages in the Dharma-Ending Age were all legendary geniuses.
Phoenix City Lord personally led them into the hall. At this moment, both Qin Chen and Lord Dragon noticed that on the main seat at the front of the hall was a Human Sage with white hair and a ruddy complexion. They had never heard of him before.
However, Lord Dragon was a Dragon Venerable who had lived for more than a thousand years. He was naturally knowledgeable. He said to Qin Chen, “This is an old City Lord of Phoenix City from 2000 years ago. I thought he had passed away. I didn’t expect him to be alive.”
The old City Lord of Phoenix City had disappeared for many years and was thought to have passed away in meditation. No one expected him to be alive and become a Sage.
However, if humans didn’t have a Sage in this situation, they wouldn’t be able to control the entire All Races Banquet.
With no other choice, the City Lord invited the old City Lord, who had been cultivating in seclusion for thousands of years, to take charge of the banquet before the other three ancient Human Sages arrived.
However, even though the old City Lord of Phoenix City, a Sage, had personally come out to take charge, the ancient races’ attitude still didn’t change much.
But with the appearance of the other three ancient Human Sages, the attitudes of the ten thousand ancient races had also changed.
Under the Phoenix City Lord’s lead, Qin Chen and the other man naturally came to the human side and sat down.
In the hall, the ancient race cultivators sat on one side, and the human cultivators sat on the other. However, the number of top experts was clearly very different.
There were 13 ancient Sages from the ancient races, and there were even many Venerables and Kings. On the other hand, humans only had four ancient Sages and eight Venerables. Although there were many Kings, all of them had solemn expressions without a hint of a smile on their faces.
At this moment, one could clearly see that the experts of the various ancient races all had arrogant expressions, not putting the experts of humans in their eyes.
However, when they saw Qin Chen, their expressions darkened.
Another ancient Human Sage had arrived. This was already the fifth!
Although the number was still less than 13, or even less than half of the number, they were all ancient Human Sages, so it was still a considerable number.
On the other hand, the humans were shocked, especially the four ancient Sages. They had never heard of this Human Sage before, but that didn’t stop them from approaching him enthusiastically.
At this moment, the Human Sages were all united. The four ancient Sages stepped forward.
“Hello, my friend!”
The four humans laughed and treated Qin Chen as an equal. Only Sages were qualified to be treated as an equal by them.
Qin Chen nodded at the four humans. Before they could ask about his identity, the experts of the Great Qin Dynasty stepped forward and greeted him with passion in their eyes.”Greetings, Minister!”
The others thought, “Minister?”
The other human experts were astonished. At this moment, Emperor Qin Feng stepped forward and took the initiative to say, “Everyone, this is the Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty. He is also the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land. Of course, he is also my master.”
Hearing this, the others came to a sudden realization and were also shocked.
Many of them had heard that there was a peerless expert in the Taiyi Holy Land who was named the Elder King. He was truly above all and had killed Demonic Venerable. His cultivation was extraordinary.
He even made a move in the coup of the change of power in the Great Qin Dynasty, killing Withered Leaf Venerable and displaying his extraordinary skills.
However, everyone only thought that the Elder King of the Taiyi Holy Land was a Bahuang Venerable. Now, they knew that he had already become a Sage.
At the same time, they paid their respects to him.
In the Dharma-Ending Age, one could imagine how extraordinary it was to become a Sage.
“This is the ancestor of the Great Qin Dynasty, Ancient Sage Jing Tian. He was a legendary Sage from 30 thousand years ago.” Qin Feng took the initiative to introduce the ancient Sage of the Great Qin Dynasty to Qin Chen.
Even though Ancient Sage Jing Tian was nearing the end of his life, his eyes were as bright as the sword light, and his title was extraordinary. He smiled and said, “I never thought that there would be someone who could become a Sage in the Dharma-Ending Age. Young man, you are indeed talented and will be feared in the future.”
The current era was different from the era they were in. Although the world changed after the primordial era, it did not immediately enter the Dharma-Ending Age. In fact, there were many subsequent eras where the world recovered, allowing humans to become Sages and even prove their path and become an emperor.
However, after the later-ancient era, the world changed greatly and entered the Dharma-Ending Age. It was extremely difficult to even become a Bahuang Venerable, let alone become a Sage.
The saying that there were no Sages in the world was enough to explain many things.
All the Sages that appeared today were ancient Sages.
To be able to become a Sage in the Dharma-Ending Age, he was definitely a genius.
The old City Lord of Phoenix City, Ancient Sage Ming Jian, and Ancient Sage Bing Xuan were also shocked and elated.
Now that there was a human who could become the Sage in the Dharma-Ending Age, it meant that he had an extraordinary aptitude. With the world gradually recovering, he might be able to break through the shackles of limits and advance further.
This would allow humans to have a greater say in the face of the ten thousand ancient races.
Qin Chen looked at the smiling ancient Sage in front of him. He did not know how to address him.
In terms of seniority, the other party was his ancestor. However, he was currently hiding his identity and was a Sage, so the other party didn’t know and treated him as a fellow.
Helplessly, Qin Chen had no choice but to say, “Jing Tian, you must be joking. I was just lucky to become a Sage.”
Immediately after, Qin Chen glanced at Qin Feng as if asking him why he had come.
As the emperor, Qin Feng naturally understood Qin Chen’s intentions. He said, “Our ancestor can’t stand the way the ancient races do things. He wants to come here personally to teach them a lesson. He wants them to know that this is no longer the time when humans declined in the primordial era. Today, human is the number one in the world.”
At that moment, Qin Chen’s eyes were filled with respect as he looked at Ancient Sage Jing Tian.
