According to the information provided by fourth brother earlier, this Flower King has already achieved the status of a Golden Immortal. If he can show some shocking magical skills and offer guidance on the kingdom’s fate, not only would the Fifth Prince’s prestige remain intact, but he would also gain an honor worth boasting about.

A celestial being of the Golden Immortal level is truly beyond reach!
Being defeated by anyone is a disgrace, but losing to a Golden Immortal is an honor!
However, the Fifth Prince still harbors doubts. Neither he, nor the Imperial Guards, nor the defenders of Heru City see any hint of celestial aura or immortal presence in this Flower King! If it weren’t for the specific fire talisman message from the always truthful fourth brother, the busy Fifth Prince wouldn’t have bothered to come to Heru City—isn’t it like an emperor seeking out beggars on the streets to fight? Making a fool of oneself?
If this Flower King turns out to be a fraud, it doesn’t matter. After all, the Fifth Prince just wants to save face, getting the respect back is enough.
"Fifth Prince, the title Saint Xiao is just a nickname given to me by colleagues from the Aegean Continent," Liu Zhenshan grinned, the Fifth Prince had cunningly struck a vulnerable spot of his.
"The Prince is indeed well-informed about our Aegean Continent." Several Aegean Magic Tutors exchanged smiles: "To think that Richard’s magic level had just been recognized by our main guild, and already it’s known across the Silk Continent."
Upon hearing the Aegean Magic Tutors, the Fifth Prince of the Tang Zang Empire appeared visibly shocked.
Earlier, when this Flower King was asked to demonstrate and perform, he immediately looked panicked, like a quack caught in a scam! The experienced Fifth Prince could certainly distinguish between genuine emotional fluctuations and feigned ones! Just as the Fifth Prince was convinced this Flower King was a fake Golden Immortal, the words of the Aegean Magic Tutors unmistakably confirmed that this Flower King was indeed the Saint Xiao Great Magician of the Aegean Continent!
What’s going on here?
"Your Majesty, Little Five came all the way to Heru City for you, the Saint Xiao of the Aegean. Please, for my sincerity and for the sake of fourth brother, grant us the honor!" The Fifth Prince put aside his many doubts and issued another most sincere invitation.
This invitation was so enthusiastic that refusing it would surely leave a psychological mark.
Liu Zhenshan scratched his head as dandruff scattered about, realizing that this Fifth Prince had been so polite all along not because of his Flower King or Beamon Kingdom leadership, but because of his title as the Saint Xiao Great Magician.
Perhaps it’s because "one does not know their own mountain," but everyone in Feilengcui shows little admiration for the title "Saint Xiao." The true value of this title often only becomes apparent when dealing with the outside world.
"Since Your Majesty has agreed to impart wisdom, Little Five shall unabashedly let our Silk Mages showcase first, to let stars encircle the moon!" The Fifth Prince, ever the sly one, took old Liu’s silence as consent, not even giving him a chance to refuse, scurried off with quick steps, whipping up the atmosphere: "Come, come! Let us all thank our esteemed guests from the Aegean Continent, our great allies the Tang Zang Empire, the Golden Immortal-level Saint Xiao Great Magician, Beamon Shaman of Divine Songs, Flower King Richard, for bringing us the trade winds of the Andes from the Seia Ocean and the magical spells of the Aegean Continent!"
The unified shouts of over ten thousand Tang Zang soldiers added a bitter taste to Liu Zhenshan’s already dour expression.
A group of matrons could only watch helplessly over old Liu.
There were too many experts here, and for these Silk Mages to genuinely accept, Lord Feilengcui’s magic and mediocre war chants surely risked disgrace.
Under the lead of the "Monopolist of the First Day of Every Month" Prince, five respected Tang Zang elder mages walked into the spotlight.
They were the five stars surrounding the moon.
These five "stars" wore bright gold cloaks billowing like sails, every move exuding absolute masterly grace.
After having their gold cloaks removed by attendants, the five elder mages revealed their ink-colored robes beneath.
These robes were covered or inscribed with rows of vermillion seal script, elegantly flying across the fabric.
The soft sunlight sprinkled over these elderly mages with almost toothless smiles, gilding their white hair with a gentle wheat-colored aura; their eyes were kind and calm, expressions exuding superb confidence.
The elemental fluctuations from these five elder mages were very intense, an awe-inspiring characteristic!
The Aegean guests knew that the Silk Continent’s elemental training was very refined and introverted, so to produce such intense elemental fluctuations in Silk Continent, these silver-haired elder mages were without a doubt experts among experts, the best of the best!
The most peculiar thing was the equipment of these five elder mages.
Originally holding black cloth bags, once removed, these elder mages each held a Burnt Tail Zither, Ink Jade Chess Scale, Purple Gold Gourd, an oversized writing brush, and four Landscape Scroll Stands.
While the Silk Continent has a tradition of using magical items—known as "magical treasures"—the tools in these old men’s hands were clearly not offensive magical equipment. These artistic tools, which emanated elemental rhythms almost identical to those of the Aegean Magic Wands, indicated that the Burnt Tail Zither, Ink Jade Chess Scale, Purple Gold Gourd, oversized writing brush, and Landscape Scroll Stands were the magic wands of these Silk elder mages!
