409: Invitation from the City Lord

When the Six Paths were perfected and the six different powers circulated endlessly within Li Qi's body, the Six Paths Power, which had previously been unable to advance further, actually expanded again. Both the quality and quantity of the power increased by a level.

Not only that, Li Qi felt his Six Paths Power was continuously increasing, entering a slow yet steady growth period!

Even if Li Qi did nothing... his Six Paths Power was still growing!

At the same time, Li Qi's several Six Paths Phenomenon also became increasingly solid, and the aura emanating from the Phenomenon became heavier, like mountains, inspiring awe.

"It seems this state won't stop for at least ten days to half a month."

Although Li Qi had not yet achieved a Breakthrough to the Creation Realm, his current strength was still continuously improving, seemingly entering a critical period of transformation.

"Since that's the case, I'll wait a few days before achieving a Breakthrough to the Creation Realm..."

Li Qi was not in a hurry. The speed at which his strength and Realm were increasing was far beyond what others could imagine, so a delay of a few days wouldn't matter.

Li Qi was quietly waiting for his transformation to end, but a few days later, an important message came from Xiao Ruochen.

"One of the City Lords of Taia City is celebrating his birthday and has invited people from the Immortal Martial God Sect to attend."

Li Qi was slightly startled and replied, "The Sect Master can go for the City Lord's birthday... They wouldn't ask me to go too, would they?"

He knew that he had only recently joined the Immortal Martial God Sect and was just a new Disciple. Within the Immortal Martial God Sect, it was fine, but outside, few people knew Li Qi. The City Lord of Taia City, by all accounts, shouldn't invite him.

Furthermore, he was on the verge of a Breakthrough in these two days and didn't want to run around outside. Anything could wait until he achieved a Breakthrough to the Creation Realm.

Xiao Ruochen, however, shook his head seriously and said, "No, you have to go."

"Do you remember those people from Blood Shadow Palace who came knocking?"

"I was able to send them away and prevent them from causing trouble... The two City Lords of Taia City contributed greatly."

After a pause, Xiao Ruochen continued.

"Moreover, the two City Lords have learned some things about you. They are very interested in you and want to meet you, this Genius junior."

With things said to this extent, Li Qi couldn't refuse. "In that case, this Disciple will certainly go."

Xiao Ruochen nodded with satisfaction. "Two days from now, you, I, Su Zimo, and a few other clever Disciples will depart together for Taia City!"

The two City Lords of Taia City were Dao Source Realm powerhouses of many years, who had operated in the Divine Firmament World for many years, befriending many overlord-level forces here. Their relationships were complex, and no petty villains dared to offend them.

Compared to Taia City, Blood Shadow Palace was far inferior. Just a few casual words from the two City Lords were enough to deter Blood Shadow Palace from acting rashly.

It was precisely because of Taia City's intervention that even though Blood Shadow Palace suffered the loss of several Creation True Lords, a crippling blow, they could only swallow their bitterness.

Not everyone could slay several Creation True Lords while in the Samsara Realm; one must possess extraordinary abilities.

And Li Qi had caught the Dharma Eye of one of the City Lords. The other party personally requested Li Qi to come, as that City Lord was very eager to meet him.

After this matter was settled, Xiao Ruochen turned and left, and Li Qi also fell into contemplation.

"It seems I must make a trip to Taia City."

"And I can't go empty-handed!"

The two City Lords helped Li Qi resolve a major problem. Both by sentiment and reason, Li Qi should thank them.

If it were just verbal thanks, that would be foolish. Li Qi, being a seasoned person, naturally knew what to do.

He should bring some gifts when visiting to show his gratitude.

"So... what kind of gift would be appropriate to bring?"

Li Qi also pondered in secret.

He was still at the Samsara Realm level, while the two City Lords were in the Dao Source Realm, two major levels higher than him. Their vision and foundation were far beyond Li Qi's imagination.

Therefore, the good things Li Qi valued might be insignificant in their eyes, and would certainly not be suitable to give to them.

Li Qi reviewed all the rare treasures on him and found that none of them were suitable to be given away.

"What on earth should I give?"

After some thought, Li Qi had no clue and felt a little troubled.

Suddenly, he thought of someone.

Taking out a communication spiritual talisman, Li Qi immediately called out.

"Is Brother Nangong here? Come quickly to the Immortal Martial God Sect, there's an important matter to discuss."

Upon receiving Li Qi's message, Nangong Wen immediately rushed over without stopping. Li Qi was his major client, so he naturally had to serve him carefully.

After arriving at the Immortal Martial God Sect in the shortest possible time, Nangong Wen was panting: "Brother Li? Where is Brother Li?"

"What do you need me for?"

Seeing Nangong Wen's anxious appearance, Li Qi also smiled: "Brother Nangong, there's no need to be so anxious, it's just a matter I need to discuss with you."

Nangong Wen wiped the sweat from his cheeks and chuckled, "No hurry, no hurry, Brother Li, please speak."

After the two sat down, Li Qi slowly began.

"Something happened recently, one of the City Lords of Taia City is celebrating his birthday and hosting a banquet... I wonder if Brother Nangong knows about it?"

Nangong Wen nodded knowingly: "The name of Taia City is like thunder, and such a major event as the City Lord's birthday, I naturally know about it."

Speaking of Taia City, Nangong Wen also had a look of admiration.

Taia City was an overlord-level force in the Divine Firmament World, and one of the very old ones, possessing terrifying energy.

Whenever Taia City was mentioned, everyone's expression would change, and no one dared to speak ill of it.

If even one or two inappropriate words were to reach Taia City, there could be great trouble.

Nangong Wen continued: "Many people know about the birthday banquet in Taia City, but those who are qualified to participate... are not many."

"The two City Lords have extremely high standards. Besides inviting some close friends and relatives, there are very few others whom the City Lords would invite to attend."

Li Qi couldn't help but smile: "What a coincidence, isn't it? That City Lord specifically requested me to attend the banquet, and we will depart in two days."

"Now I just want to ask Brother Nangong... what kind of gift should I bring to the banquet that would be most appropriate?"
