Chapter 460: Banquet Invitation

In the room, Lingyun was multitasking, simultaneously controlling the Three Talents Array and continuously channeling the Natural Power within the Eternal Leaf.

Among the three, Aiweier absorbed the most Natural Power; after all, she was a Spirit herself, and her strength was the highest. Next was Su Wanyue, who cultivated the Phoenix Nirvana Art, and her Natural Power leaned toward the wood attribute, which actually became the best fuel for the Nirvana Fire. Chen Jing's situation was slightly worse, as the cultivation technique she practiced had no particular advantage in absorbing Natural Power.

"It seems I still need to find another technique for Chen Jing!" Lingyun muttered, his hands not stopping, while his consciousness split off a wisp to dive into his vast memory, beginning to search for what he needed.

Although the Natural Power in the Eternal Leaf was vast, it was somewhat insufficient when facing the three of them. An hour later, the last wisp of emerald mist was absorbed into Chen Jing's body, the Three Talents Array shattered, and the three of them opened their eyes at the same time.

"Hey, Lingyun, why has this Eternal Leaf become like this?" Looking at the Eternal Leaf in Lingyun's hand, Chen Jing asked with some surprise.

The powerful natural aura on the Eternal Leaf in Lingyun's hand had dissipated, but this did not make the Eternal Leaf ordinary; instead, it became even more Dream-like. Wisps of faint fluorescence shrouded the Eternal Leaf, seemingly allowing one to see the flow of time. But no matter how the power of time flowed, the Eternal Leaf within it remained unchanged.

"Is this... could this be the Eternal Power?" Feeling the power on the Eternal Leaf that made her Mental Power feel extremely heavy, Aiweier said with some shock.

Chen Jing and Su Wanyue did not feel much pressure from the Eternal Power on the Eternal Leaf; after all, having experienced the tempering of the Soul Grinder, their souls already carried a trace of Lingyun's unique Immortal Power. This power was an existence that surpassed the Eternal Power of the Eternal Leaf, easily offsetting the pressure of the Eternal Power.

"But if this kind of power exists, even a space ring wouldn't be able to conceal it. If that's the case, it will attract the attention of many people!" Aiweier looked at the Eternal Leaf in Lingyun's hand and said with some distress.

"Leave this kind of thing to me!" Lingyun waved his hand with a calm expression, then he was seen forming seals with one hand, and an invisible Array shrouded the Eternal Leaf.

After being shrouded by the Array, that peculiar aura on the Eternal Leaf did not leak out even a single bit. After shrouding the Eternal Leaf with the Array, Lingyun tossed it into his space ring.

Aiweier looked Lingyun up and down, and only after discovering that not a single trace of Eternal Power aura appeared on him again did she heave a sigh of relief.

"Lingyun, when are we setting off for the Morning Light Forest?" Aiweier asked Lingyun.

"No rush, I'm afraid we can't leave the Norton Imperial City for the time being!" Lingyun shook his head and casually withdrew the Shielding Array. "Use your Mental Power to see how many people are spying on our movements around this inn."

"Spying on our movements?" Aiweier gave a soft exclamation, and her strengthened Mental Power spread silently toward the surroundings.

In just a moment, Aiweier withdrew her Mental Power, her expression somewhat ugly. Just from this rough scan, she discovered that there were at least three groups of people watching them in the dark. One could imagine how many more there would be who were hidden even deeper.

"Tsk, why are there so many annoying flies?" Aiweier said with an unhappy face.

"After all, our appearance was far too abrupt, and we have a Half-step Heaven Realm expert as a guard behind us. With such powerful strength as a backing, it is normal for those people to be vigilant!" Lingyun said with a calm expression.

"Knock, knock, knock—" The room door was suddenly knocked.

The four of them exchanged glances, and then Su Wanyue opened the door. Standing in front of the door was a man dressed as a knight. Whether looking at the man's attire or his demeanor, it was clear that this man did not come from an ordinary family.

"Greetings, I am a personal guard of the First Prince, Joseph." Seeing that it was Su Wanyue who opened the door, the man revealed a proper smile and bowed slightly to Su Wanyue. "May I ask if Mr. Lingyun is in?"

"What business do you have looking for Lingyun?" Su Wanyue's brows furrowed slightly.

Hearing Su Wanyue address Lingyun by his name directly, the man guessed that the relationship between this girl and Lingyun was likely not ordinary. The man took an invitation out from his bosom and handed it to Su Wanyue. The invitation was imbued with a faint Magic luster; it was clearly an alchemical item. Being able to refine an invitation into an alchemical item was enough to show the wealth and extravagance of the First Prince of the Norton Empire.

"His Highness the Prince is holding a banquet tomorrow. This is the banquet invitation, and I hope Mr. Lingyun can do us the honor of attending."

"A banquet invitation?" Su Wanyue simultaneously used Voice Transmission to tell Lingyun this news.

After receiving Lingyun's reply, Su Wanyue accepted the invitation: "I understand, I will inform Lingyun of this matter!"

Seeing Su Wanyue accept the invitation, Joseph bowed to Su Wanyue once more, then turned and left.

"Lingyun, why did you accept this invitation? Don't you know that the other party's intentions are not really about the banquet?" Looking at the invitation in her hand, Chen Jing asked with some confusion.

"Of course I know the other party has ill intentions, but if we refuse, who knows what kind of things they might stir up in the dark. Rather than passively waiting for others to make their move, taking the initiative allows us to control more of the initiative, doesn't it?" Lingyun said with a calm expression. "Besides, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and schemes are paper tigers!"

"Absolute strength? Just relying on a Half-step Heaven Realm expert doesn't really count as absolute strength, does it?" Aiweier asked.

"No, no, no, our strongest combat power is not a Half-step Heaven Realm expert, but a Heaven Domain Peak!" Lingyun waved his hand and said.

"Heaven Domain Peak? Where would we have a Heaven Domain Peak?" Aiweier asked, completely confused.

"Where would we have one? Aren't you yourself a Heaven Domain Peak, a Space-type Great Archmage?" Lingyun said to Aiweier with a smile.

"But, my strength..." Aiweier said with some difficulty.

"The Demon Qi within the Wind Holy Sword has dissipated quite a bit. Now, you have two hours every day where you can completely unleash your own power!" Lingyun stretched out his hand, and the Wind Holy Sword appeared in his hand.

Feeling the Magic power within her body that was even a few points stronger and more vast than in her prime, a smile appeared on Aiweier's face.

"Two hours a day? That's enough! With my strength restored, even if I can't defeat them, if I want to take you all away, no one will be able to stop me! Tomorrow we will go and meet that so-called First Prince of the Norton Empire and see what kind of medicine he is selling in his gourd!"
