Supreme of Seven Realms

2That's right, I have already inherited the legacy of the Human Emperor. The five continents of the Mortal Realm are all my territory, why would I care about a ten-sided city?    

    

Furthermore, without your own power, even if you were strong enough, you would not be able to contend against the other heroes. Just a single Liu Xiao had caused you to become passive and nearly lose your life.    

    

Not to mention the Pill Sect and the Myriad Ghost Sect.    

    

Although he was said to be the successor of the Human Emperor, before he reached the Heavenly Opening Realm, the inheritor was just a inheritor. Anyone could kill him with their strength, unless they could truly refine the Heavenly Profound Yellow Tower and summon the power of their divine artifact.    

    

Only then would the human world be truly unified.    

    

"Elder Zhou, don't tell me that the City Lord doesn't need to run?" Ling Tianyu was still a little worried. To a Manifestation stage practitioner, he was still too weak.    

    

"What are you still running for? As long as we all elect to compete with you, who would compete with you? Furthermore, the various city lords are under the control of the other cities and have no relation to the other cities. " Elder Zhou explained.    

    

"Then what about Liu Xiao?" Isn't he from the Sky Harmony City's Liu Family? " Ling Tianyu asked.    

    

"The Liu family secretly arranged Liu Xiao to be here. We deeply regret it. However, when we first discovered him, he had already become the City Lord."    

    

Old man Zhou's expression was a bit sad. Central State City's Mayor, once chosen, there was no way to change it, unless there was a power in the city that surpassed the city lord's mansion. This way, it could be replaced.    

    

However, Liu Xiao was a Manifestation martial practitioner and had countless soldiers. None of the forces in the city could fight him, which was why such a situation had occurred.    

    

After this explanation, Ling Tianyu finally understood. To put it bluntly, the one hundred and eight cities of Central State were equivalent to one hundred and eight small powers. They were protected by the top five sects and had a peaceful place to cultivate.    

    

"However, although the Ten Directions City is a large city, it is at the end of the 18 cities. Also, you must hand over a certain amount of offerings to the Tian Dao Sect." Elder Zhou continued to explain.    

    

If that was the case, then Ten Directions City was equivalent to a vassal of the Heavenly Dao Sect. It was just that it didn't listen to any orders or arrangements.    

    

However, thinking about it, if top sects did not draw resources from their subordinates, how could they maintain the normal operation of their sects? Unless one could obtain a bit more resources from the battlefield of the Seven Realms, it was impossible to do with the current standards of the human world.    

    

Ling Tianyu pondered for a moment before standing up and saying, "Since all of you seniors respect me so much, then I shall reject the position of City Lord. Here, I swear that I will give all of you a stable place to cultivate."    

    

"Good, since the ancient times a hero was born with a youth, who would have thought that Young Hero Ling would become a great city lord at such a young age? We pay our respects to the city lord!"    

    

Everyone was very happy as they all knelt down to pay their respects.    

    

The owner of the teahouse was also very excited. To think that he would be the one to elect the city lord of Ten Directions City. In the future, the business of his teahouse would definitely be extremely good.    

    

"Everyone, get up. Since I have already become the City Lord, the rules of this city must be carefully worked out. They must be fair, impartial, and just. They must give all the aristocratic families in the Ten Directions City, as well as the rogue cultivators, a peaceful cultivation environment."    

    

Ling Tianyu emitted a faintly discernible aura of a king, as if he was the ruler of the world.    

    

"Also, Old Zhou, how about you become the butler of my City Lord's Mansion?" Ling Tianyu turned to look at the old man from the Zhou Clan.    

    

"Good, this old man is but a remnant of the past. In the end, it is not bad that I can do some things for the City of Ten Directions, and I can also protect the City Lord's safety."    

    

Elder Zhou hurriedly replied, bowing respectfully. The others also nodded their heads, not showing the slightest hint of unwillingness.    

    

"Old man Zhou, don't worry. The remaining years are just at the Reincarnation Stage. Once you break through to the Manifestation Realm, you will have an extra hundred years to live."    

    

"What?" When Old Man Zhou heard this, he couldn't help but tremble. He had already lived for over 150 years and had at most 40 years of life. Yet, Ling Tianyu actually mentioned breaking through to the Manifestation Realm.    

    

But in this world where the Heavenly Dao was incomplete, how could he break through in forty years?    

    

Seeing Elder Zhou's doubt, Ling Tianyu smiled and said, "Rest assured, I am the Pill King. Who knows, I might even become the Pill Emperor someday. This City Lord can still refine a mere Good Fortune Golden Pill."    

    

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed. That's right, the Pill Emperor could indeed refine a Manifestation Golden Elixir. Didn't one appear in the previous auction? However, it was bought by the man who pretended to be from the Yu Family.    

    

Thinking of this, everyone became depressed, "That Thousand Leaves of Destiny Grass can only be found on top of the Gold Crown of Destiny."    

    

This time, they did not make a sound. Everyone knew that Ling Tianyu was only 18 years old and was the king of the swords. If he became a Sword Saint, how could they not obtain the Thousand Leaves of Fate Grass?    

    

After coming to this conclusion, everyone became extremely excited. They were looking forward to the day when they would be able to see a city with ten cities at the top of the eighteen cities, and a human world emerge from the bottom of the Seven Realms.    

    

Seeing the anticipation in their eyes, Ling Tianyu relaxed and continued saying, "Zhang Fan, I'll give you a mission."    

    

"City Lord, please give your instructions."    

    

"Pick all the Samsara martial artists that are under 100 years old from the various factions in the Ten Directions City and train the eight armies according to this array!" After which, Ling Tianyu whipped out a jade slip.    

    

It was the Eight Trigrams Chance Formation that he had obtained from the attack formation.    

    

This formation was arranged according to the position of the eight trigrams, allowing one to fight alone or in a group. When fighting in a group, one could display an extremely powerful combat strength.    

    

If all eight armies were Samsara martial practitioners, they would be able to unleash the might of a Manifestation stage martial practitioner.    

    

The reason why Ling Tianyu did so was to go against the experts from the Liu Clan.    

    

"I'll leave the training matters to you. Remember, this matter must be kept secret and must not be spread out." Ling Tianyu instructed seriously.    

    

"Yes sir!" Zhang Fan accepted the order and then left in a hurry.    

    

"Patriarch!" Ling Tianyu turned to look at a middle-aged man beside him.    

    

"Mayor, you're too kind. Just call me Li Xun!" The Li family's Patriarch hurriedly cupped his hands and said.    

    

Ling Tianyu smiled and said, "Go and bring all the martial practitioners who are less than thirty years old and have reached the Life and Death Realm to the City Lord's Mansion. I want to prepare for the Seven Realms battlefield."    

    

"What?" The battlefield of the Seven Realms!    

    

Everyone was shocked as they stared at Ling Tianyu in shock. They didn't understand what he meant. The battles of the seven realms required Samsara realm martial practitioners. What was the use of having a Life and Death realm martial artist?    

    

Furthermore, the human world had declined. Without even a divine ability, how could one contend against the geniuses of the seven realms?    

    

"Ladies and gentlemen, although the mortal world has fallen, and some of the powers have given up on their own, as Mortal Realm martial artists, we must have confidence that we can return to the peak of the Seven Realms just like the Human Emperor did a thousand years ago."    

    

"Yes, the City Lord is right. We must give ourselves self-confidence, so that our human world can once again return to the peak of the Seven Realms!"    

    

"That's right. We must defend the dignity of the human world to the death. We must not compromise."    

    

With a single sentence, he had resonated with countless people. Ten Directions City would become the first step for Ling Tianyu's successor.    

    

Apart from this, Ling Tianyu also secretly let Little Yi bring all the children under the age of ten from the Ten Directions City to the City Lord's Mansion. From among them, he selected eight with prominent martial veins and gifted ones to send to the Skypalace Jade Pendant for the artifact spirit and Little Yi to cultivate together.    

    

Up till now, Ling Tianyu had become the City Lord of Ten Directions City.
