"This jade slip contains a cultivation technique, a top-grade divine martial art."
"It's called the Azure Dragon Sword Manual!"
"If I'm not mistaken, the martial art that Brother Duanmu cultivates should be a mid-grade divine-level martial art, right?"
Li Jing said calmly, "This top-grade divine martial arts manual will be of great help to Brother Duanmu."
Whether it's a divine-grade martial art or a celestial-grade martial art, they are all incredibly precious and peerless martial arts in the Eastern Wilderness.
Under normal circumstances, a top-tier sect, such as the Divine Sect or the Dynasty of Destiny, possesses martial arts that are either low-grade or mid-grade divine-grade martial arts.
The Eastern Heavenly Dynasty is the most prestigious dynasty in the Eastern Wilderness, and its ruler is a God-Emperor level being.
Therefore, there should be low-grade immortal-level martial arts in the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty.
However, in the entire Eastern Heavenly Dynasty, only one person is qualified to cultivate such unparalleled martial arts.
That was the Emperor of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty!
Before officially ascending the throne, even the Crown Prince of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty might not have been able to pass on this immortal-grade martial arts technique.
The martial arts practiced by the Crown Prince of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty and the other princes should be top-grade divine martial arts.
As the grandson of a Minister of Personnel, Duanmu Yuan, whose mother was the head of a top merchant guild in the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty, the martial arts he practiced were only at the mid-grade divine level.
Don't be fooled by the seemingly small difference between mid-grade and high-grade divine martial arts.
In fact, once you reach the divine level, even a difference of one small level can result in a world of difference in power!
That's why Li Jing didn't use any top-grade divine martial arts, or even immortal martial arts.
Giving Duanmu Yuan martial arts techniques that are too advanced might not be a good thing; it could very well be a disaster.
He was able to bestow immortal-grade martial arts upon the civil and military officials of the Taichu Dynasty because these officials were all listed on the Taichu Dynasty's Investiture of the Gods list, so there was no need to worry about them being exposed.
Even those who submitted to the Taichu Dynasty and were able to obtain high-level martial arts techniques from the Taichu Dynasty were listed on the Investiture of the Gods.
"..."
Duanmu Yuan stared at Li Jing with a look of shock, his voice trembling as he said, "Brother Li, are you saying that this jade slip contains a top-grade divine martial arts manual?"
"Exactly."
Seeing Duanmu Yuan's expression, Li Jing knew that even within the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty, a top-grade divine martial art would definitely be considered one of the most powerful and unique skills.
It was absolutely the right thing for him not to use any top-tier divine martial arts techniques.
"Thank you, Brother Li."
Duanmu Yuan accepted the jade slip and said with a grateful expression, "I, Duanmu Yuan, have no way to repay Brother Li's kindness!"
If Brother Li ever needs my help in any way, please feel free to speak up!
I will not refuse even a single word!
“I naturally trust Brother Duanmu’s character.”
Li Jing smiled calmly and said.
"Brother Li, rest assured, if anyone asks about the martial arts techniques in this jade slip after I switch to practicing them, I will tell them that this is an opportunity I obtained from the True Dragon Treasury."
"I will absolutely not let anyone know that this is related to Brother Li."
"Moreover, this martial art was a gift from Brother Li, and I will not teach it to anyone other than me!"
"May I be struck down by heaven and earth if I break this oath!"
Duanmu Yuan suddenly stood up and said in a firm and resounding voice.
"With Brother Duanmu's words, I can rest assured."
"Brother Duanmu, please sit down."
"There's no need to be so polite."
Li Jing slowly stood up and spoke to Duanmu Yuan.
Duanmu Yuan nodded slightly, tightly gripping the jade slip in his hand. He carefully put the jade slip away before sitting down again.
"Brother Duanmu, besides delivering top-grade divine medicine, is there anything else you need today?"
Li Jing looked at Duanmu Yuan and said calmly.
"Brother Li, it's like this. Today, I've organized a gathering to welcome you back."
"It has been decided that it will be held in the Taixu Pavilion of our Eastern Heavenly Imperial City."
Duanmu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Besides the Thirteenth Prince, Brother Chen, Brother Liang, and Brother Cai, the Eldest Princess will also be attending."
"The Eldest Princess?"
Li Jing raised an eyebrow and said.
Li Jing knew about Taixu Pavilion; it was the most famous restaurant in the Eastern Wilderness.
Spanning the entire Eastern Wilderness, the Taixu Pavilion offers a wide variety of demonic beast flesh and blood.
It is said that Taixu Pavilion can even obtain dragon liver and phoenix gall bladder if you want to eat them.
Although it wasn't a real dragon's liver, but rather the liver of a jiaolong (a type of dragon), it was still enough to demonstrate the extraordinary nature of Taixu Pavilion.
After all, the Flood Dragon is a demon king at the God King level.
“Indeed, Princess.”
"Brother Li may not know that there are four great talents in our Eastern Heavenly Dynasty."
"He can be considered the most outstanding figure among the younger generation of our Eastern Heavenly Dynasty!"
Duanmu Yuan's expression turned solemn, and he said, "And within the royal family, there are two such individuals."
They are respectively our Eastern Heavenly Emperor's Crown Prince, Shaohao Cangwu.
Princess Shaohao Luoyang.
Both of them were exceptionally talented individuals.
As for the Crown Prince, we don't really know his cultivation level. We only know that he reached the God King level many years ago.
During His Majesty's seclusion, the Crown Prince has been overseeing the state affairs.
Li Jing nodded slightly, remaining silent.
He also had some understanding of this Crown Prince of the Eastern Heavenly Dynasty, Shaohao Cangwu.
From what I've gathered, this person is rumored to be a truly extraordinary talent. Under his rule, the entire Eastern Heavenly Dynasty is thriving, flourishing, and booming.
"The eldest princess is the thirteenth prince's elder sister, born of the same mother."
"I can say that I know him."
"The eldest princess is a bold and magnanimous woman with the spirit of a heroine."
After a pause, Duanmu Yuan continued, "It is rumored that the Eldest Princess's cultivation level is also unfathomable."
He has been at the God-King realm for many years.
Moreover, as His Majesty's most beloved princess, the Eldest Princess commands the most elite Eastern Heavenly Guard in our entire Eastern Heavenly Dynasty.
And Dongtianwei is the capital garrison of our Eastern Heavenly Dynasty.
The total number of troops is fifty million!
This army of fifty million has always been under the command of the eldest princess.
Therefore, the eldest princess preferred to be called "Great General" rather than "Eldest Princess."
"The eldest princess truly possesses the spirit of a heroine!"
Li Jing exclaimed in admiration.
"Actually, I originally intended to send someone to invite the Princess as a mere formality."
"I didn't expect the princess to actually agree."
"It must be that the eldest princess learned about Brother Li from the thirteenth prince, and therefore wanted to meet this extraordinary genius, Brother Li."
After considering it for a moment, Duanmu Yuan explained to Li Jing.
Li Jing said calmly, "It's alright. I also want to see what kind of extraordinary person the Princess, the Grand General of the Eastern Heavenly Guard, really is."
