Upon hearing this voice, everyone's eyes focused on Wang Xiaoqiang, their faces showing complex expressions, unsure of why the Azure Dragon Protector kept Wang Xiaoqiang behind.

But judging from the situation, it was most likely a good thing, so everyone's gaze was filled with envy.

At this time, not only all the people in the square but also a pair of eyes in the distant sky were constantly watching Wang Xiaoqiang,

This pair of eyes belonged to the Biluo Heavenly Emperor.

When everyone in the square dispersed, leaving only the Azure Dragon Protector and Wang Xiaoqiang, the Azure Dragon Protector walked up to Wang Xiaoqiang, smiled, and his attitude was very different from before, appearing very kind and friendly, approachable. He said, "The Heavenly Emperor is hosting a banquet at the City Lord's home, inviting you and me to attend..."

"The Heavenly Emperor, is it the Biluo Heavenly Emperor?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked with some surprise.

"Yes, but it's only one of the Heavenly Emperor's avatars..." the Azure Dragon Protector smiled wryly, indeed, it was almost impossible for the Biluo Heavenly Emperor to personally invite a little person for dinner.

"Understood." Wang Xiaoqiang did not dare say more and directly saluted with clasped fists.

Being personally invited by the Biluo Heavenly Emperor, though just an avatar, was still an immense honor, Wang Xiaoqiang felt extremely solemn in his heart.

"Hey? No need to be so formal. Let's go, we'll head over together." The Azure Dragon Protector made a gesture of invitation.

Wang Xiaoqiang followed the Azure Dragon Protector to the mansion of City Lord Fang Yuntian.

As the Lord of Biluo City, Fang Yuntian's mansion was quite grand and luxurious, although said to be just a City Lord's mansion, it was more imposing than an imperial palace,

Wang Xiaoqiang had once stayed in an imperial palace in the Immortal Realm and was quite familiar with them, but witnessing the grandeur of this City Lord's mansion, he found the imperial palaces in the Immortal Realm rather insignificant.

Even his City of Heavenly Pride could not compare, the key was the spiritual energy inside the City Lord's mansion, incredibly abundant, even more so than the spiritual energy between the Great Marsh of Spirit Mountain.

"Do you feel the spiritual energy in this mansion is very abundant?" As the two walked inside the mansion, the Azure Dragon Protector casually asked.

"Yes, it's quite abundant." Wang Xiaoqiang replied.

"Actually, this has nothing to do with the terrain, but because of the arrangement of the Spirit Gathering Array," the Azure Dragon Protector explained.

"Spirit Gathering Array? A formation that gathers spiritual energy?" Wang Xiaoqiang guessed.

"Right, you are indeed very smart, grasping it immediately." The Azure Dragon Protector turned to glance at Wang Xiaoqiang and said, "A Spirit Gathering Array can gather spiritual energy from the surrounding area to one place. Spirit Gathering Arrays vary in size; small ones can gather spiritual energy from a hundred or a thousand miles around a spot, large ones can gather spiritual energy from ten thousand miles around to a spot..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang was somewhat shocked. The spiritual energy gathered at one point from ten thousand miles around, how abundant would that spiritual energy be? And if sitting there to cultivate, how rapid would the cultivation speed be?

Spiritual energy is the foundation of all dharma, though magical pills are precious, nothing can compare to spiritual energy. The cultivation realm only manufactures various magical pills to assist cultivation because spiritual energy is too sparse, unable to meet the demand for fast cultivation.

If spiritual energy is abundant enough, it would definitely surpass all kinds of magical pills, and now, there is an array that can gather spiritual energy—the Spirit Gathering Array.

"Protector, if the spiritual energy from ten thousand miles comes together in one chamber, then cultivating in this room should make the process very fast, right?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked.

"What? Bringing the spiritual energy from ten thousand miles into one setting?..." Upon hearing this, the Azure Dragon Protector smiled wryly, stopped in his tracks and looked at Wang Xiaoqiang, shaking his head, saying, "It seems you still don't quite understand 'Spirit Gathering Array'..."

The Azure Dragon Protector said, "Look at how big this City Lord's mansion is, occupying a dozen miles, and uses only a small Spirit Gathering Array, gathering the spiritual energy from a thousand miles into one mansion, while with a large Spirit Gathering Array, gathering the spiritual energy from ten thousand miles into this mansion, probably only City Lord Fang Yuntian could stay here, cultivators below the Purple Mansion level wouldn't dare to enter..."

Wang Xiaoqiang responded, "So the Protector means, gathering the spiritual energy from ten thousand miles would be too abundant for those below the Purple Mansion level to bear, right?"

"Correct." The Azure Dragon Protector said, "Gathering spiritual energy from ten thousand miles into a mansion, the spiritual energy is not merely abundant, but could be termed 'raging'. For example, if an Immortal Emperor level cultivator were to enter and take a breath, they'd be overwhelmed and die from the raging spiritual energy..."

"And you even suggested gathering spiritual energy from ten thousand miles into one chamber..." the Azure Dragon Protector smiled wryly, "In that case, not to mention a Daluo Golden Immortal, even a cultivator at my Purple Mansion level wouldn't dare to step into such a room..."

Wang Xiaoqiang felt a sudden thought, hmm, what about a Body Refining Master? Someone like me with Undying Golden Body - Great Completion Realm, could it be possible?

This thought he did not express, not wanting to arouse the Azure Dragon Protector's suspicion. After all, the Spirit Gathering Array should not be something ordinary people can master.

Moreover, it should not even be imagined.

Sure enough, as Wang Xiaoqiang speculated, the Azure Dragon Protector said, "Though the Spirit Gathering Array is wondrous beyond measure and can immerse cultivators in a space rich in spiritual energy, surpassing having a large quantity of magical pills, however, not everyone can master the Spirit Gathering Array..."

"Protector, at your level, you should have the qualification to master it, right?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked curiously.

The Azure Dragon Protector shook his head, then lowered his voice to Wang Xiaoqiang and said, "Even at my level, including the Lord of Biluo City Fang Yuntian, we are only entitled to possess it but not to master it. In the entire Biluo Realm, perhaps only the Heavenly Emperor knows the method to arrange a Spirit Gathering Array, and the array in our mansion was set up by him, but he never imparts it to us..."

"Uh..." Wang Xiaoqiang was somewhat disappointed, indeed this Spirit Gathering Array is not something that anyone can possess, if desired, it must be achieved by reaching the level of the Azure Dragon Protector.

While speaking, the two entered the grand dining hall of the City Lord's mansion, the dining hall was as large and magnificent as a great auditorium, at this moment the dining hall was brightly lit, inside it was spacious yet sparsely furnished, with large murals on the walls depicting various ancient innate creatures providing a strong visual impact. Several large floral and bird screens, in front of the screens, there was a table.

Upon entering the dining hall, someone greeted them, leading them to the table to sit. At this time, Fang Yuntian walked into the dining hall, his expression sullen, stepping forward, he only exchanged pleasantries with the Azure Dragon Protector, completely ignoring Wang Xiaoqiang; clearly he had no goodwill towards the one who injured his son, and contrary to expectations, Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't died in Kunshan and now arrived lively in his mansion, it was a wonder that he wasn't feeling unperturbed?
