"What's that on the forehead of the most outstanding young man?" one of the government officers murmured, staring at the lightning mark on Wang Xiaoqiang's forehead.
The other officer used Divine Sense to scan Wang Xiaoqiang and said, "Hmm?... Inside his skull at the forehead, there is an extremely violent energy lurking, it's very terrifying..."
In the vast Biluo Realm, those who have opened the Heavenly Eye are exceedingly rare. It is said there are fewer than ten, but the exact number is not clear because those who can open the Heavenly Eye have profound opportunities and high cultivation levels. These individuals are world-renowned, like dragons that appear but leave no trace, and are essentially unseen.
In fact, the Heavenly Eye is not apparent on the outside, meaning it cannot be seen from the surface. The reason Wang Xiaoqiang has a lightning mark on his forehead is that his Heavenly Eye absorbed and refined the lightning of the Lightning Ferret, endowed with the ability of "Blinking Lightning," and the lightning mark is a manifestation of "Blinking Lightning."
So, even the two officers, or even those who have opened the Heavenly Eye, cannot discern what exactly Wang Xiaoqiang's lightning mark is?
Because not everyone who opens the Heavenly Eye can possess Blinking Lightning. In fact, in the Biluo Realm, aside from Wang Xiaoqiang, no one else who has opened the Heavenly Eye possesses this ability.
Firstly, they do not have a powerful physical body as a foundation. Moreover, they have not, like Wang Xiaoqiang, encountered and dealt with thousands of Lightning Ferrets.
"That young man is very mysterious, and his performance is also too strange... Shouldn't we investigate...?"
"First, find out who he is?"
After exchanging opinions, the two officers from the Realm Capital sought out the Vermilion Bird Guardian for inquiry. Upon learning the person was Wang Xiaoqiang, an administrator in charge of assassination tasks for the Wind and Rain Tower in Anyang Region, the two officers immediately dismissed the idea of investigating Wang Xiaoqiang.
Investigating Wang Xiaoqiang would be equivalent to investigating the Wind and Rain Tower in Anyang Region, which would offend not only Wang Xiaoqiang but also Black Whirlwind, essentially the entire Wind and Rain Tower organization.
Besides, investigating Wang Xiaoqiang would bring no advantage to them, and offending the Wind and Rain Tower could cause endless trouble. The reasons are twofold: Firstly, the Wind and Rain Tower holds a transcendent status; secondly, its functions are powerful, and if they decide to target the officers, there's no evading it.
Just as the two officers from the Realm Capital were giving up on the idea of investigating Wang Xiaoqiang, the Vermilion Bird Guardian cupped his fists towards them and said, "Gentlemen officers, the Domain Lord is hosting a feast tonight at the Heavenly Abode Tower. You must grace us with your presence..."
Although these two officers hailed from the Realm Capital and had an elevated status, their influence was not comparable to that of the Domain Lord. An invitation from the Domain Lord was not a mere request for courtesy but a necessity; refusal would be a lack of respect.
What surprised the two officers was that during the feast that night at the Heavenly Abode Tower, the most outstanding performer, Wang Xiaoqiang, also attended.
Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't expected to be invited by the Domain Lord for a meal, especially since even Zuo Dao didn't have this privilege. But upon reflection, he realized he held an official position in the Wind and Rain Tower and had achieved an unprecedented ranking in the recent Territory City elimination tournament, far surpassing all other candidates. His excellence also reflected well on the Domain Lord, making his invitation appropriate in every sense.
The Domain Lord was named Chang Fengtian.
He appeared to be an elder of seventy or eighty, but his actual age far exceeded that. It's known that, aside from those exceptionally gifted, all cultivators' cultivation bases are directly proportional to their age—the higher the cultivation, the older the age.
Among the few Purple Mansion Immortals, there are almost none under fifty years old, nor those under a hundred; generally, they are two hundred-year-old monsters.
However, Chang Fengtian appeared to be a very gentle person, although his overpowering presence made everyone at the banquet feel suffocated. Still, his amiability invited closeness, especially as he was accompanied by a beautiful young woman,
a woman who resembled Chang Fengtian, indicating she wasn't his partner but a descendant—perhaps a daughter or granddaughter. In truth, the woman was neither his daughter nor granddaughter but his great-granddaughter, his third-generation offspring.
The dinner was held in the Heavenly Abode Tower of Anyang City, but not in a regular dining room. Instead, it was in the best one, named the Immortal Feast Hall.
The Immortal Feast Hall signifies a place where immortals dine.
It was far from midnight, yet the night was deep, and the Heavenly Abode Tower was brilliantly lit. The Immortal Feast Hall was aglow with candlelight, adorned with colorful Luminous Pearls, hanging around to create a luxuriously dazzling atmosphere.
Under the dazzling lights, guests arrived successively at the Immortal Feast Hall and were seated according to their rank.
Chang Tianfeng took the chief seat. To Wang Xiaoqiang's surprise, he was seated to Chang Tianfeng's left, while the woman with Chang Fengtian sat to his right, facing Wang Xiaoqiang.
Once everyone was seated, a group of extraordinarily beautiful girls entered the dining room with Lotus Steps, carrying various exquisite dishes and fine wines, the aroma intoxicating.
A variety of dishes was set before each person, with seating and dishes arranged according to rank. The distinction in the delicacy of dishes was apparent, and Wang Xiaoqiang noticed his dishes were no less than those of the woman sitting across from him.
The woman seemed just over twenty and was exceptionally charming, with a happy, radiant smile that made her look innocent and sweet, engendering a sense of intimacy in onlookers.
Almost everyone's heart was captivated by this woman, but none dared to openly gaze at her under Chang Fengtian's presence.
Before the feast commenced, Chang Fengtian began introducing the woman by his side. Waving his sleeve at her, he said, "This is my great-granddaughter, Chang Xiuyue. She's still young and inexperienced in etiquette, so I brought her tonight for exposure... Please excuse any lapses in propriety..."
"Not at all, Domain Lord's descendants are surely well-versed in etiquette,"
"The Domain Lord's great-granddaughter is indeed as beautiful as a heavenly fairy..."
"Yes, indeed. Her cultivation is already so developed at such a young age, truly a blend of talent and beauty!"
The crowd offered a round of praises, either lauding Chang Xiuyue's beauty or her profound cultivation at such a tender age. In reality, her cultivation was not high, not having reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm, only being at the Immortal Emperor Seven Qi Realm.
Among everyone, only Wang Xiaoqiang refrained from flattering. He calmly glanced at Chang Xiuyue, only to find her looking at him as well.
This surprised Wang Xiaoqiang—out of all the people in the dining room, why was she looking at him?
In fact, if Wang Xiaoqiang put himself in Chang Xiuyue's shoes, he'd understand. In this vast dining hall, whether the officers from the Realm Capital or those from the Territory City, even the two guardians behind Chang Tianfeng, the youngest was already sixty or seventy years old. Though they appeared younger due to cultivation, their old spirits were unmistakable.
In other words, the only young person in this vast dining room, not yet thirty, was Wang Xiaoqiang. To a blooming young girl like Chang Xiuyue, no doubt her eyes would be drawn to him unless she had unique tastes.
While Wang Xiaoqiang was momentarily distracted while gazing at Chang Xiuyue, she gave him a sweet smile,
a smile that had a remarkable effect.
Instantly, every man in the hall felt a shiver of excitement in their hearts and, mesmerized, they gazed at Chang Xiuyue, forgetting all semblance of enlightened beings.
After a moment of stupor, every man secretly wondered, "Ah, with a smile so enchanting, could Chang Xiuyue possess a 'Taiyin Body'?"
Legends say women with the Taiyin Body are as pure as water, charming as flowers, every smile and frown can captivate a man's soul, whether he is a mundane scholar or an enlightened master.
Additionally, women with a Taiyin Body offer a remarkable advantage: when a man shares a connection with her, he can experience a sensation akin to celestial euphoria, further enhancing his cultivation during this exquisite experience...
