Chapter 1746

Boom!!

A crimson-gold light pillar ten meters in diameter descended from the heavens, precisely enveloping him.

Golden radiance flowed, accentuating his tall figure as if a deity had descended.

"What's the commotion?"

"Is that... the announcement pillar for a new member?"

On the plaza,

the hundreds or thousands of figures that had originally teleported over instantly turned to look.

Upon seeing the excessively young face within the light pillar, a wave of discussion erupted.

"Xu Jingming?! Is that Lei Shen Xu Jingming!"

"He directly clashed with the Burning Heaven Sovereign, an invincible Eternal Life realm under fifty?!"

"It really is him! I saw him in battlefield recordings!"

"..."

Gazes like substance swept over, filled with curiosity and scrutiny.

The owners of these gazes, even the weakest in aura, were at the Titled Eternal Life realm.

Some even had auras as deep as the sea, clearly Sovereign realm existences!

"Huh?"

Xu Jingming raised his sword eyebrows slightly, not expecting such a commotion upon entering the Flame Alliance.

"Congratulations, junior brother."

A clear, pleasant voice sounded beside him.

Ye Li's graceful figure appeared silently.

She still wore her white T-shirt and denim shorts casual outfit.

Her pair of long, snow-white beautiful legs looked even more dazzling under the virtual light effects.

Overall, she did not look like a Titled Eternal Life realm powerhouse.

Instead, she resembled a pretty older sister from next door on Blue Star.

"Senior sister, you didn't tell me there would be such a commotion upon joining the Flame Alliance."

Xu Jingming turned his head to look at her, speaking somewhat helplessly.

"This is the Flame Alliance's routine rule; every new member's arrival is announced to the entire alliance."

Ye Li's lips curled slightly, revealing a trace of an extremely faint smile:

"I didn't mention it beforehand, counting it as a surprise for you."

"I see."

Xu Jingming shook his head with a wry smile.

He then lifted his gaze to the massive member count light curtain above the plaza.

"87481394......"

He murmured this number softly, shock flashing in his eyes:

"The Flame Alliance actually has over eighty million members?"

Know that,

those invited into the Flame Alliance must have at least Titled Eternal Life realm strength!

Over eighty million Titled Eternal Life realm and above combatants?

This scale is simply terrifying!

"Our human race is one of the cosmic peak powers, with vast territory and endless population."

Ye Li nodded slightly, explaining:

"Since the birth of the primordial universe to now, countless eras have passed.

Accumulating so many powerhouses is not too exaggerated."

Xu Jingming nodded.

Indeed,

considering the human race's long history and endless territorial population, this number is not too large.

But seeing it with one's own eyes still shocks the heart.

"Haha, congratulations on Lei Shen joining the Flame Alliance!"

At this moment, a grand laugh came from the horizon.

Xu Jingming looked up, seeing three figures stride through the void.

The leader was a middle-aged man in battle armor, his aura vast like an abyss.

He was indeed a Supreme Sovereign!

To his left was a woman of ordinary appearance, but her figure was extremely tall.

To his right was a burly man over three meters tall.

His muscles were knotted, his skin ancient bronze.

Both were Undying Sovereigns!

"They are the 'Black Marsh Sovereign', 'Bewitching Heart Sovereign', and 'Barbarian Mountain Sovereign'!"

"Three Sovereigns appearing together! Just to welcome a new member?"

"This Lei Shen's prestige is too great!"

"..."

The surroundings immediately burst into a chorus of murmurs.

Gazes swept back and forth between the three sovereigns and Xu Jingming, filled with shock and envy.

The Invincible Immortal stage, though claimed to be able to match an Early Tribulation Sovereign.

But it merely matches, nothing more!

In terms of strength, the Early Tribulation Sovereign is absolutely stronger!

And now, three Sovereign-stage beings have appeared for Xu Jingming.

This is enough to show the other party's weight.

"Junior brother, do you know them?"

Ye Li furrowed her brows slightly and sent a mental inquiry.

"I don't know them."

Xu Jingming shook his head slightly, also feeling some doubt in his heart.

My talent is indeed high.

But it shouldn't be enough to make three Sovereign-stage beings personally appear just to say congratulations, right?

Although I think this way in my heart, the proper etiquette cannot be neglected.

Xu Jingming bowed and said:

"Junior Xu Jingming pays respects to the three Sovereign lords."

"No need for excessive courtesy!"

Hei Ze Sovereign waved his hand, his eyes full of appreciation:

"It is precisely because of young strong ones like you joining.

That the entire Yan Alliance, and even the entire human race of the universe, can flourish!"

"Indeed."

Mi Xing Sovereign smiled, his voice gentle:

"Seeing such a heavenly pride, we must treat him well."

"Lei Shen!"

Ban Shan Sovereign's voice rang like a great bell, laughing with his mouth open:

"We three intend to befriend you.

I don't know if you have time to have a meal with us?"

The three Sovereign-stage powerhouses simultaneously extended an invitation!

The murmurs on the square grew louder, and everyone's gaze toward Xu Jingming changed.

This is no longer mere attention, but the utmost hospitality!

"Since the three seniors have extended such a warm invitation, this junior dare not refuse."

Xu Jingming pondered briefly, then nodded in agreement.

Since the other party treats him with courtesy, he naturally will not refuse to give face.

Moreover, this is in the virtual universe, so there will be no danger.

"Haha! Lei Shen is indeed straightforward!"

Hei Ze Sovereign laughed heartily and waved his hand:

"Come! We have already set up a banquet at the 'Drunken Immortal Tower,' just waiting for you!"

Drunken Immortal Tower, one of the highest-grade restaurants in the Yan Alliance.

The area of the private room on the top floor is comparable to a palace.

Carved beams and painted pillars, immortal mist swirling, and outside the window is actually a simulated spectacle of the Milky Way hanging upside down.

A jade table with a diameter exceeding ten meters stands in the center.

It is densely filled with delicacies.

"This is the 'Starry Sky Dragon Carp,' taken from the depths of the Milky Way, growing only one inch every ten thousand years; this one is a million years old."

"This is the 'Nine-Colored Phoenix Feather Soup,' made from the natal feathers of the phoenix descendants of the demon race......"

Beside the banquet, there are dedicated attendants responsible for introductions.

Actually, there is no need for her to introduce.

Just by looking at the presentation, one knows this banquet is not cheap.

"Tsk tsk, this is too luxurious!"

The little elf transformed from the succubus loli Weila stood on Xu Jingming's shoulder.

The sounds of astonishment and praise echoed in his mind:

"These ingredients, in reality, each one is extremely expensive!"

"The virtual universe, although the ingredients are virtual, but the taste and texture are no different from reality."

Ye Li sat beside Xu Jingming.

She sent a mental whisper, her clear eyes also flashing a hint of surprise:

"The price is also similarly high.

Setting up such a table, the cost in crystal coins is probably at least over two million."

"Two million crystal coins......" Xu Jingming's heart skipped a beat.

Three Sovereigns spending two million crystal coins to entertain a mere Immortal-stage cultivator like himself?

This generosity is really too great.

"Lei Shen, Ye Shen, please!"

Heizhu Ruler warmly greeted them and was the first to raise his cup:

"This cup, to our human race gaining another peerless heaven's pride!"

"To Lei Shen!"

Muxing and Manshan Ruler raised their cups simultaneously.

Xu Jingming and Ye Li exchanged a glance, then raised their cups in return.

The wine was 'Ten Thousand Year Star Marrow Brew', sweet and mellow on the palate.

It transformed into gentle energy circulating through the whole body, making even the virtual projection feel clear-headed and refreshed.

The dishes were even more delicious to the extreme.

Xu Jingming considered himself to have eaten quite a few good things.

But compared to this table, those from before were simply like chewing wax.

After three rounds of wine, the atmosphere in the elegant room grew increasingly harmonious.

Heizhu Ruler set down his wine cup and looked at Xu Jingming.

The smile on his face remained, but his tone became a few degrees more solemn:

"Young Friend Xu, was the meal to your satisfaction?"

"The three seniors' grand hospitality, the dishes and wine are all supreme quality; this junior is flattered and honored." Xu Jingming nodded.

"Satisfied is good, satisfied is good."

Heizhu Ruler smiled.

He exchanged a glance with Muxing and Manshan Ruler, finally cutting to the main topic:

"This meeting with Young Friend Xu, one is to make acquaintance, two...... indeed there is a matter I wish to request."
