Under the words of the queen who could not be contested, Qin Tian had no choice but to accept marriage. However, he also had little anticipation of marrying Yu Siqi.
After discussing marriage, the king then looked at Qin Tian and spoke. "Kiddo..."
"Father!" Qin Tian looked back at his father because he knew that his father would immediately explain the reason for the guests' arrival at the palace.
"You must be curious about what happened, right? Actually this can be said as a chance of luck! Kiddo, do you know what region our kingdom is in?" Asked the king.
"It's in the Floating Cloud region." Qin Tian immediately answered.
Very vast Spiritual Continent! It is divided into five parts; the northern part, the eastern part, the southern part, the western part, and the middle part, which is called the Deserted Land.
And each part of the continent itself is further divided into many regions. The Floating Cloud Region, where the kingdom of Qin was, was only one of the regions.
"Right, we are in the Floating Cloud region. Although this region does not have a Great Empire! However, in this region there are at least ten ordinary empires and one hundred more kingdom including our Qin kingdom." The king spoke.
"Mn." Qin Tian nodded and continued to listen.
"Um, do you know the reason why this region is called the Floating Cloud?"
"Ehm." Qin Tian was confused. Because he never left the kingdom, he did not know much about things outside the kingdom.
Before Qin Tian could say no, the king had continued his words. "The reason is because there is a magical place called the Floating Spiritual Clouds."
"Floating Spiritual Clouds?" Qin Tian was surprised after hearing the king's words because he had never heard such a magical place.
"Um, no one knows where it came from! However, what is certain is that the place is very magical and can help improve one's cultivation just by entering it.
And that place will only open once every ten years and only the younger generation aged twenty years and under can enter it.."
"What?" Hearing the king's words, Qin Tian could not help but be surprised.
A magical place that allows one's cultivation to increase simply by entering it. Even throughout the Alasta world, it would definitely become a top-class magical place. How could such a magical place exist in a remote place like the Floating Cloud region.
"Actually, that place is even more magical than people know. If you manage to unravel the mystery, you might get something unexpected." While Qin Tian was still in a state of shock, the king continued his words which made Qin Tian's expression be serious.
"Will it open soon?" Qin Tian had already guessed a few things after hearing what his father had said.
"Right, that place will open soon! However, unfortunately there is a limit to the people who can enter it."
"Limit?" Qin Tian asked in surprise.
"Every time the place is open, only three hundred people can enter it. And the quota will be distributed to every empire and kingdom in the Floating Cloud region. Our kingdom will get two entrance quotas." Raja explained.
"Oh!" After hearing the king's explanation, Qin Tian finally knew the reason why the clans had come. There are only two quotas, but there are many people who want to enter. The Kingdom of Qin could not possibly monopolize all quotas for themselves. Therefore there must be a fair distribution method.
"How to divide the quota, we will discuss it with the five clan leaders at the meeting later."
...
Qin Tian returned to his room after talking with his father and mother. He was currently standing in front of the mirror looking at his new appearance.
After returning to his room, Qin Tian cut his long hair into short pieces and changed into a casual style.
Looking at his own face, Qin Tian finally realized why so many women looked embarrassed when they saw him. That's because his own face can indeed be said to be very handsome.
He has rather pale white skin. His nose is quite pointed while his lips are somewhat reddish. Coupled with his sharp eyes like Phoenix, it is not surprising that there are women who immediately fall just because of his gaze. He is like a devil who can make any woman crazy.
...
About three hours later when it was already night, Qin Tian walked out of his room.
In the main hall, there are kings and queens who are wearing royal clothes waiting for Qin Tian. "Let's go, the people have gathered waiting for us." The king spoke while walking out while the queen followed beside him.
Qin Tian then followed behind them.
"Your Majesty!" When they came out of the hall, Lin Ji who was standing guard at the door immediately saluted the three of them.
"Mn." The king nodded briefly before continuing on his way.
Lin Ji then followed them behind.
They all walked towards the main hall of the palace, where the meeting took place.
There is a corridor that connects directly where the king is located and the main hall of the palace. Passing through the corridor, four people immediately arrived at the main hall.
The main hall of the palace was vast and majestic. Every wall is made of the best and most sturdy material so that spiritual realm experts like Qin Tian can't even damage it. On the wall there are many crystals that emit light that can illuminate the entire hall.
In a certain part of the center of the hall there are two thrones that look very majestic. That is the throne of the king and queen.
For most kingdoms or empires, there is only one throne reserved exclusively for kings. Usually the kings have many wives so that their status is not too much. However, in the Qin kingdom, the status of the queen of Qin was not at all lower than the king himself so the king had to place one more throne right next to his own throne.
Right in front of the throne, there are five chairs that also look luxurious.
In each of the chairs there was a person sitting. Each of them is a middle aged man.
Even though all five of them just sat there! However, anyone who sees them will feel their hearts tremble as if they are seeing the destruction of heaven and earth.
Only with the feelings they give, anyone will immediately know that they are experts in the Transcendent realm.
Transcendent! That was the realm where one would be considered a true expert in the Alasta world.
If they were in an empire like the Qin kingdom, even if they were only in the first layer of the Transcendent realm, they would still be given the title of a nobleman and a territory of their own.
However, to reach the Transcendent realm is as difficult as ascending to heaven. That's because before someone can enter the Transcendent realm, that person must pass through the four Transcendent tribulations first.
It is said, the human body is filled with a lot of impurities. For this reason, to enter the Transcendent realm, one needs to clean oneself first. And that can only be done using Transcendent tribulations.
Every tribulations that is passed, will make a lot of impurities in the body cleaned, and that also makes a person's power jump in large numbers.
Only after one goes through the four tribulations can one then be said to be a true Transcendent.
It is said, after a person becomes Transcendent, that person's blood will turn to a golden color, and bones that were once white will become bright like diamonds.
And most important is that person's strength will surge in large numbers. The phrase that says that a Transcendent has the power to destroy heaven and earth is not excessive.
Right behind each chair, there are plenty of other chairs that look more ordinary. There were people of all ages who sat in the chairs. And the most striking were of course the five young people who were sitting right next to the clan leaders.
As for who sat in the back, they were the elders of each clan.
Besides Yu Siqi and Mu Yi whom he had met, there were three other young men who also sat next to the clan leader.
One young man has a large body that does not fit his age. He was the young master of the Shi clan, Shi Hao.
Then there was the young man who looked normal while carrying a sword on his waist. He is the young master of the Liu clan, Liu Jun.
However, what Qin Tian noticed most was the young man who sat with his eyes closed as if there was no one around him. Only after the arrival of Qin Tian's group did he open his eyes.
Compared to four other young people, that person looks like the sun in the middle of the stars. He exuded a grand and oppressive aura. That person did not even hide his cultivation so anyone would immediately know the level of his cultivation. The ten layers of the Meridian Awakening realm.
"That person." After talks with his father beforehand, Qin Tian could tell immediately that it was the young master of the Huang clan, Huang Wu, who was said to be a genius invited by the main branch of the Huang clan.
While the other four people were only in the sixth layer, he was already in the tenth layer. Only by seeing his cultivation, can people know the difference between them.
With such cultivation, he could be said to be on par with the peak genius of the Empire. If it were not for him to start slower cultivation, he might have been equivalent to the peak genius of the great empire.
Of course, when compared to Qin Tian, their differences will be like heaven and earth. Fortunately, before entering the hall, the king personally enveloped Qin Tian with his spiritual energy so that no one could know the level of his cultivation. If not, those people might cry because out of despair.
The arrival of the king's group immediately woke up the hall that had been quiet. Everyone who sat immediately stood up and saluted. "We salute His Majesty and Her Mejesty the Queen." They all talked simultaneously.
Even if they were arrogant, it was a fact that kings and queens were stronger than them. In the world of Alasta, regardless of the reason, the weaker must pay respect to the stronger. If not, that person will not live long.
The King and Queen nodded before walking to the throne and sitting.
The five clan leaders then sat down again after the king and queen sat.
However, other people were still standing there. After the clan leaders sat down, they paid their respects once more. "We salute His Highness the Prince." They once again spoke simultaneously.
It was not appropriate for Transcendent realm experts like clan leaders to pay homage to mere princes like Qin Tian. However, the others still had to do it because Qin Tian's status was far higher than theirs. Paying no respect to people with high status in the Alasta world is also a symbol of short life.
However, what was shocking was that, besides the five clan leaders, there were others who immediately sat down without paying respect to Qin Tian. That person is Huang Wu.
As the clan leaders sat down, he sat down too, and closed his eyes again.
The hall soon became quiet after the actions taken by Huang Wu.
What made people even more shocked was that the people from the Huang clan didn't even rebuke it as if that was how it should be.
