Li Ming's decision to come to the Primordial Divine Dynasty was, of course, a well-considered one.
The Eastern Region is vast. Although some areas are sparsely populated for various reasons, there are over a hundred dynasties like the Great Xuan and Great Yan, as well as some weaker countries, resulting in a very large population.
The real rulers of these dynasties were not their royal families, but rather the sects and aristocratic families behind them. They needed a massive population to serve them and select geniuses, so class stratification was extremely severe, unlike in his previous life. Even if the descendants of those powerful figures could not inherit too much talent from their ancestors, the probability of a genius emerging from among ordinary people was still much, much higher.
For example, the strongest family in the desolate continent is called the Jiang Clan. It is an immortal family founded by a great emperor. Its descendants possess imperial blood, and geniuses appear in almost every generation. Every hundred years, a peerless prodigy emerges.
The Great Xuan, from which Li Ming originated, was actually founded by an insignificant branch of the Jiang clan.
The implications are self-evident.
Many resources have already been allocated, making it extremely difficult to start one's own business. For ordinary people to rise in status, they need to rely on their exceptional talent and join a major power. Otherwise, a rogue cultivator will struggle every day, and even if they join a small power, they will see their limits at a glance.
The Azure Emperor also emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood. On his path to power, he destroyed countless forces, large and small, and finally ascended to the Central Region, suppressing everything.
Now, Li Ming has gained many benefits by leveraging his reputation, but he also has to bear a lot of pressure.
Many sacred sites certainly wouldn't just stand by and watch the successor of the Azure Emperor appear out of nowhere without doing anything.
To put it bluntly, Li Ming was able to leave the Azure Sky Ancient Domain unscathed thanks to the secret protection of a top expert from the Primordial Divine Dynasty.
The reason why the Primordial Heavenly King protected him was quite simple.
They share the same stance.
When the Primordial Heavenly King rose to power, he offended many powerful forces, including several holy lands in the Eastern Region, especially the Dayan Holy Land, which he destroyed. For a long time before that, the Mu family had been protecting him.
Although the Mu family has no reputation now, it is still an immortal family. Some of its connections and resources from the past are still there, and some powerful figures still exist.
However, due to the curse, these people find it difficult to take action.
Even so, it was enough to make many holy sites wary.
After all, they didn't know if the Mu family's imperial weapon was still around.
If a dying powerhouse were to launch a suicide attack there wielding an imperial weapon, no holy land or noble family could withstand it.
The Primordial Heavenly King secretly received Li Ming, also because he didn't want to put too much pressure on him.
Therefore, Li Ming also held this peerless heavenly king in high esteem.
“Huang, no… Li Ming, there’s no need to be so formal. You can call me Uncle Wang, and I’ll call you nephew, how about that?”
The original Heavenly King's attitude was gentle, which even made the man and woman next to him widen their eyes.
Is this still their father who usually has a stern face and likes to be businesslike?
If they hadn't known that Huang's real name was Li Ming.
They all suspected that this famous Huang might be a descendant of the Wang family.
You should know that among these princes and grandsons, only the most outstanding ones could get along with him like this.
"Uncle Wang."
Li Ming finally felt relieved and greeted him affectionately, which was 90% genuine and without any psychological burden.
Being able to recognize this peerless expert as his uncle would naturally be of great benefit to him.
It would be quite awkward if the other party recognized him as their godson.
In that case, he might start chanting.
Wang Yuanshi, also known as the Primordial Heavenly King, had eyes full of appreciation. With a wave of his hand, a pot of wine appeared out of thin air, and he said to Li Ming:
"sit."
Li Ming remained neither humble nor arrogant. He looked at the extra wine cups on the stone table in front of him, thought for a moment, and then sat down on the stone bench.
This scene caused the girl behind him to widen her eyes in surprise:
"Father, please take out this Nine-Bend Spirit Elixir. I begged you for so long before you would give it to me!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuanshi glared at him and said, "You heartless bastard, haven't you stolen enough wine from me?"
The girl was a little unhappy. "Can you call it stealing when it's a girl's business? You know I brew quite a bit of wine every day, and you're not..."
Helpless, the young man simply put his hand to stop the incessantly chattering girl, which made her roll her eyes, as if to say, "I don't have a brother like you."
"Ahem, Nephew Li, you flatter me. My daughter is disrespectful; it's my fault for neglecting to discipline her."
Wang Yuanshi shook his head with a hint of helplessness, but the warmth in his eyes was undeniable.
"Such family bliss is rare even among the greatest emperors and supreme rulers throughout history."
Li Ming gently raised his wine cup, savoring it carefully, and appreciating the profound meaning within the wine.
"Good wine."
I have to say, only after taking one sip did I realize what true nectar was; this wine could only exist in heaven!
The moment it enters your mouth, you are greeted with an endless aroma and flavor. It feels as if your whole body is being gently soaked by a warm current, your mouth is filled with saliva and sweetness, and you are in a fairyland, feeling an unprecedented sense of comfort and satisfaction.
A massive surge of energy instantly filled his body. A small sip was enough to allow a Celestial Realm expert to break through to the next realm, and it was also quite beneficial to a Martial God of the Heaven and Earth Realm.
"No, that's not it, I'm telling you, this is..."
The girl continued to chatter on, explaining the mystery behind it.
The brewing of these spiritual wines involves extremely rigorous steps, including various processes to neutralize their medicinal properties. The brewer must oversee the process day and night to ensure no mistakes are made. The benefit of this spiritual wine is that it will not cause any side effects to a cultivator's cultivation level; in fact, it may even offer some hidden benefits.
Li Ming couldn't help but take another look at this famous, wine-loving princess.
The Primordial Heavenly King founded the Primordial Divine Dynasty a thousand years ago, and there are twenty princes and princesses. The higher the cultivation level of a martial artist, the more difficult it is to give birth to offspring, or rather, they rarely spend time on procreation. Naturally, the age gap between these princes and princesses is extremely large.
For example, the girl in front of us is actually the eleventh princess of the Primordial Divine Dynasty. She is actually over a hundred years old. Although her cultivation is only at the Great Perfection of the Celestial Realm, she is extremely favored, and many powerful beings in the Heaven and Earth Realm dare not offend her.
The young man beside him was the seventh prince, who was about two hundred years older than the eleventh princess. He was quite talented and had already entered the Heaven and Earth Realm a hundred years ago. However, he was rigid and didn't like to move around, so he stayed in front of the Primordial Heavenly King to do odd jobs.
This century-long gap, when considered within their millennium-long lifespans, is actually not so bad.
The most talented are often those who are born later, such as the seventeenth princess, who has extremely high talent. At the age of thirty, she had already reached the pinnacle of human perfection and ranked eighteenth on the Golden List.
The Primordial Heavenly King didn't have high requirements for his descendants. He let them do what they liked. He would increase resources for those who wanted to cultivate seriously, but he would also set high standards for them. He would also let those who didn't like cultivation have their own hobbies and pursuits.
Ultimately, as long as this Heavenly King is alive, the Primordial Divine Dynasty will not fall into chaos.
Li Ming thought for a moment and then said:
"Uncle Wang, if there is anything you need from me, please don't hesitate to ask. If not, I will definitely repay your kindness in the future."
Li Ming was rather straightforward and not afraid of being laughed at.
No one there laughed at it.
If other martial artists at the peak of the Celestial Realm were to speak to a supreme expert at the Unity Realm in this way, it would definitely be somewhat comical.
But Li Ming was different; everyone present knew he had that potential!
Lin Fan, following closely behind Li Ming, was already quite frightened and at a loss for words. When he saw the Primordial Heavenly King, he didn't even dare to breathe heavily. At the same time, he admired Li Ming's composure. Li Ming's actions at this moment made him feel a sense of pride.
Look.
This is my older brother, my senior Li, who always speaks with conviction.
He wasn't stupid. Although he hadn't met this Primordial Heavenly King before, he was quite familiar with the Eleventh Princess. With some subtle probing, she didn't try to hide anything.
The eleventh princess only said a few words, but he already guessed that Li Ming was Huang's secret.
This made him admire Li Ming even more.
The Seventh Prince couldn't help but nod in agreement; such demeanor was truly befitting of a descendant of the Azure Emperor.
He had seen countless young talents, but none of them possessed such brilliance.
The eleventh princess, a girl with a naturally naive personality, didn't think too much about it. She just felt that Lin Xiaozi knew this older brother, which meant that he must have something special. Even she, a drunken girl, was attracted to him, and her beautiful eyes were fixed on Li Ming.
Wang Yuanshi nodded slightly, showing no anger, and slowly asked, "Nephew Li, what do you think of my Yuanshi Divine Dynasty?"
