Chapter 348

At the gate of the imperial palace, Lin Beifan came forward, warmly congratulating, Congratulations, Master Painter, on attaining the Great Grandmaster status! From now on, our Great Xia has its own Great Grandmaster! This is a momentous occasion for universal celebration, and I have prepared a grand banquet to congratulate Master Painter!

Thank you, Your Majesty!

Master Painter bowed with a smile, equally pleasant: My breakthrough would not have been possible without Your Majestys guidance over the past year! I will never forget the great kindness you have shown me!

Lin Beifan laughed and said, Master Painter, you are too kind. We are friends despite the difference in our ages, and it is right to share insights and learn from each other. There is no need for thanks; just keep it in your heart!

That is true!

Master Painter laughed, but then his tone changed: Although we are close friends, some accounts still need to be settled!

What accounts? Lin Beifan asked, puzzled.

Your Majesty, have you forgotten the grudge of the flower destruction incident?

Master Painter said with a smile: Back then, you ruthlessly destroyed the flowers I had cultivated for many years to make wine! It broke my heart! How should we settle this account?

The faces of those present stiffened.

Master Painter seemed to be picking a quarrel with His Majesty.

If a fight broke out, whom should they support?

Lin Beifan casually pulled out the Xuanxiao Divine Sword, also smiling: Master Painter, how do you propose we settle this?

Feeling the sharp sword aura of the Divine Sword, Master Painters heart skipped a beat.

He felt a deadly threat from the sword, a greater threat than the one posed by the four ghostly deities.

It was truly baffling for him. It seemed even becoming a Great Grandmaster hadnt allowed him any advantage over Lin Beifan.

Could Lin Beifan be his nemesis in life?

Master Painter pondered and then sincerely said, I think we should just let bygones be bygones! After all, we became friends through conflict. Life is too short for enmity, dont you agree, Your Majesty?

Lin Beifan sheathed the Divine Sword, nodding in agreement: What Master Painter says is very true!

Then, Lin Beifan held a grand banquet to invite everyone while also receiving the benefits from the Empire Sandbox.

Ding! Congratulations, players national power has increased, strength has been synchronously enhanced, rewarding the Ancient Sacred Body!

The Ancient Sacred Body (Awakened State) is one of the strongest divine bodies from ancient to modern times, with an indestructible physical body, vitality as vast as the ocean, and possessing nine grand phenomena such as Celestial King Overlooking the Nine Heavens and Chaos Seed Green Lotus, making it nearly invincible in close combat! When cultivated to its fullest potential, one can challenge even the Supreme Emperor.

After absorbing the reward, Lin Beifan felt his physical body become several times stronger and couldnt help but feel overjoyed: The reward brought by a Great Grandmaster is too generous! Its one of the strongest divine bodies of all time, the Ancient Sacred Body in its awakened state, making my physique on par with holy beasts! If cultivated to completion, wouldnt I be able to destroy the world I live in with a flick of my fingers?'

The more Lin Beifan thought about it, the happier he became, feeling that even now, he could take on two beasts without falling short.

This was a monumental leap forward in progress!

With this in mind, Lin Beifan picked up a cup of wine and said with a smile, Master Painter, I toast to you once more!

Very well, Your Majesty, please! exclaimed Master Painter with delight.

.

But Ancestor, will the other side agree?

The Great Grandmaster sighed: Human effort is the decisive factor, we have to try! Prepare a generous gift for me, one that shows we spare no expense!

Yes, Ancestor!

Not only Great Wu but the other three top-tier Empires, upon learning of this, were also anxiously preparing gifts, sending envoys to apologize and resolve the grudges.

The same was true for the two transcendent powers, the Taoist Sect and the Buddhist Sect.

Other various forces also sent representatives to Great Xia.

Lin Beifan saw that many people were coming, so he decided to hold another grand banquet to receive guests from all quarters.

At the banquet, the ancestral figure from Great Wu presented a generous gift and said earnestly, Your Majesty, I was in seclusion until now and only recently learned that those princes and grandsons had acted foolishly and offended Great Xia! I have already severely reprimanded them. Please be magnanimous and forgive them this once!

Yes, its the fault of those below who didnt understand!

Here is our gift of apology, please accept it with a smile!

Let us put the grievances between our two nations behind us!

Other Empires Great Grandmasters also echoed in agreement.

Lin Beifan rolled his eyes in annoyance. He couldnt believe they were unaware of such a big matter as war between big Empires.

It was clear that they had come to apologize because Great Xia had gained a new Great Grandmaster, making its strength too powerful to be defeated.

I understand very well, which Ancestor doesnt have a few unworthy descendants? But Great Xia suffered great losses after this battle. Dont you think you should compensate us for our losses?

Now it was the turn of these ancestors to roll their eyes.

Great losses?

Please, dont talk nonsense with your eyes wide open, okay?

What losses have you suffered when youve expanded your territory by millions of li, hey?

But now, under someone elses roof, they had no choice but to bow their heads.

Your Majesty is absolutely right, we should offer compensation!

Whatever you desire, Your Majesty, we will do our utmost to fulfill it!

Lin Beifan said with a smile, What I ask for is not much, just that you agree to one condition!
