Eternal Sacred King

For the past few days, the Martial Dao Prime Body had been digesting many pieces of information about the Hell World.

Although he had a rough understanding of Hell, he still had many questions in his mind.

The ancient books recorded that the Hell World was severely injured during the Infinite Era.

Was it done by Great Emperor Infinite?

Could the power controlled by a Great Emperor severely injure the entire Hell World such that the Great Dao was shattered and the world was incomplete?

The Martial Dao Prime Body was skeptical about that.

However, if not for Great Emperor Infinite, why would such a catastrophe happen?

Apart from being sinister and terrifying, there were too many unknowns in the Hell World that seemed mysterious.

The ancient books in the North Ridge Palace could not give the Martial Dao Prime Body an answer to those unknowns—perhaps only the Hell King experts here knew a thing or two.

The Martial Dao Prime Body had flipped through the ancient books sent by Tang Qing'er but he could not find a way to leave the Hell World and return to the medium chiliocosm.

Since the Hell World coexisted with the medium chiliocosm, the Dharmic Dao inheritance here would definitely be different from the medium chiliocosm.

The Martial Dao Prime Body intended to search for high quality Dharmic Dao inheritances in Hell and continue to divine and perfect the Martial Dao while looking for a way to leave.

Five days later, the birthday banquet of King North Ridge officially began.

By the time Tang Qing'er arrived at the main hall with the Martial Dao Prime Body, there were already many people seated. Some maidservants in veils carried various spirit fruits from Hell and came and went with their beautiful bodies vaguely visible.

Although Tang Qing'er was a junior, she was a princess of the North Ridge after all. Her seat was relatively closer to the front and was on the side of King North Ridge's seat.

There were five seats on each side for the royal family of the North Ridge. Together, ten spacious areas were created for the ten great Hell Ridges.

"Why are you still here?"

When the young master of the South Forest saw the Martial Dao Prime Body from his seat, his expression darkened as he asked with a frown.

As though he had not heard anything, the Martial Dao Prime Body did not even look at him.

Right now, it was the birthday banquet of King North Ridge and it was inappropriate for the young master of the South Forest to get angry and make a fuss as well.

The young master of the South Forest rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "Desolate Martial, today is the birthday banquet of King North Ridge. Everyone who attends the banquet will bring congratulatory gifts. What have you brought? Show it to everyone!"

Over the past few days, Tang Qing'er had also learned a lot of information about the Heavenly World from the Martial Dao Prime Body and was extremely curious.

At that moment, when she saw the Martial Dao Prime Body being troubled, she could not bear it and tugged at the young master of the South Forest, saying in a low voice, "Forget it, Fellow Daoist Desolate Martial has just arrived in the North Ridge. How would he have the time to prepare any congratulatory gifts? Let's not make things difficult for him."

"How can you sit here so comfortably without a congratulatory gift?"

The young master of the South Forest sneered.

The Martial Dao Prime Body looked at the surging crowd outside the hall and suddenly said meaningfully, "I've prepared a congratulatory gift, but I hope that King North Ridge won't need it."

"Heavenly Dragon Ridge has arrived!"

Right then, a North Ridge guard at the entrance of the hall shouted, "The Territorial Lord of Heavenly Dragon Ridge has gifted King North Ridge a piece of 100,000 Year Hell Frost Iron!"

The Martial Dao Prime Body had once read in an ancient book in the North Ridge Palace that the Hell Frost Iron was a specialty treasure of Frost Springs Hell.

This Frost Iron was at the depths of Hell and was soaked in the water of the Frost Springs all year round. It was a universal treasure that could only be formed after more than 100,000 years and was a supreme-grade material for forging spirit treasures.

"Essence Breaking Ridge has arrived!"

On the other side, the North Ridge guard declared loudly, "The Territorial Lord of Essence Breaking Ridge has gifted King North Ridge a piece of spine from an Ancient Nether Dragon King!"

Among the Ancient Nether race, there was also a Dragon that was born and cultivated to the level of a Nether King. However, he died later on and that created the spine of the Dragon King.

The spine of a Dragon King was precious enough, let alone that of an Ancient Nether Dragon King!

"Good, good, good!"

King North Ridge sat in the middle of the hall majestically and looked down. When he heard the voices coming from the entrance, he nodded repeatedly with a satisfied expression.

It was a relatively long process.

It was said that there were 100,000 mountain ridges of corpses and bones within the territory of the North Ridge.

Although not all the mountain ridges and factions were qualified to extend their congratulations to King North Ridge, this birthday banquet was still filled with noteworthy experts as well.

Apart from Hell Generals and Hell Kings, there was no place for Hell Pawns at all in the hall!

Before the people of the ten great Hell Ridges arrived, there were already more than a thousand Hell Kings from the other Hell Ridges and their numbers were still increasing!

Even in the Heavenly World, the Martial Dao Prime Body had never seen such a massive lineup.

The Nine Firmament Meet back then was already a massive event.

The Nine Firmament Immortal Domain and Pure Land of Bliss only sent out slightly more than a hundred Immortal King experts in total.

Of course, the North Ridge was different from the Heavenly World.

There were at least dozens of Emperor experts in the Heavenly World. However, there were no Emperor experts in the North Ridge or even the entire Frost Springs Hell.

"Hahahaha!"

The entire birthday banquet was bustling with people and King North Ridge was delighted as well. From time to time, he would laugh loudly and drink strong wine.

These Hell Ridges were merely the appetizers.

The true feast would have to wait till the ten great Hell Ridges were gathered!

Right then, the guard at the entrance of the hall declared, "The South Forest has sent envoys to congratulate King North Ridge on his 800,000th birthday."

"Even though we're so far apart, the South Forest sent people?"

"You don't know yet, right? I heard that the little princess of the North Ridge and the young master of the South Forest are about to get engaged and become Dao companions. The marriage will make the two factions even closer."

"If these two factions join forces, it seems like King North Ridge can continue to rule over the North Ridge for at least another 100,000 years."

Among the envoys sent by the South Forest, the leader was Hell King South Essence who came with many generous gifts. There were more than a hundred congratulatory gifts alone!

This scene caused a commotion in the hall and everyone was shocked.

The South Forest side had given enough face to King North Ridge.

King North Ridge also knew that the reason why there were so many congratulatory gifts was not only to wish him a happy birthday—they were also part of the betrothal gift.

King North Ridge was in a great mood and declared, "King South Forest sure is thoughtful. Why don't we get my daughter and this fine young man to make preparations today and choose a good day for them to get married?"

Tang Qing'er looked at the young master of the South Forest shyly.

She had just felt countless envious gazes looking in her direction and a hint of joy surged in the depths of her heart.

"King North Ridge, you sure are wise. My master has the same intentions as well!"

Hell King South Essence cupped his fists hurriedly.

"Hahahaha!"

King North Ridge burst into laughter and pointed to the seats of the North Ridge royal family. "Come sit here!"

This action was equivalent to giving the young master of the South Forest recognition.

The envoys of the South Forest hurried forward and arrived beside the young master.

"Corpse Mountain Ridge has arrived!"

Right then, the guard at the entrance of the hall shouted once more.

Corpse Mountain Ridge, one of the ten great Hell Ridges!

After shouting that, the North Ridge guard paused and did not continue.

Under normal circumstances, the congratulatory gifts from Corpse Mountain Ridge should be announced next.

However, the group from Corpse Mountain Ridge did not bring any congratulatory gifts at all!
