Yang Qi looked at Meng You, whom he had just met, and said in disbelief, "Brother Meng is a cultivator from the Zhenwu Star Region?"
The cultivator who had traveled with Yang Qi before was named Meng You. He was a cultivator at the peak of the Seven-Star Martial Emperor level and came from the Zhenwu star field, which was the star field that Yang Qi was heading to!
Meng You was stunned when he heard this, and then he said, "The Zhenwu Star Region is indeed a bit far from the Xuanming Star Region, but it is not strange for a Martial Emperor to come to the Xuanming Star Region after traveling around."
The Xuanming Star Domain and the Zhenwu Star Domain are separated by several star domains, so they are indeed not close, but this is only for the Martial King Realm. For the Martial Emperor Realm, it is only a few years' journey, which is not far at all.
"Brother Meng misunderstood."
Hearing Meng You's explanation, Yang Qi didn't know that Meng You had misunderstood him, and he quickly explained, "Actually, I was just about to go to the Zhenwu Star Region, and I was a little surprised to learn that Brother Meng was from the Zhenwu Star Region. I didn't expect to meet a cultivator from the Zhenwu Star Region before I even went there."
"I see!"
Meng You couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He was also surprised. Yang Qi was a five-star Martial Emperor after all. It shouldn't be that he was so surprised just because he came from the Zhenwu Star Region. After all, it was not uncommon for a high-level Martial Emperor to travel to dozens or even hundreds of star regions, let alone a few.
Perhaps because Meng You came from the Zhenwu Star Region, Yang Qi couldn't help but have a better impression of him, and the two of them had a very pleasant conversation. After listening to Meng You's story, Yang Qi also had a general understanding of the Zhenwu Star Region.
The Zhenwu Star Domain is much more powerful than the Xuanming Star Domain. Even the sect behind Meng You himself has a Martial Emperor in charge, and they are all first-class cultivation forces in the Zhenwu Star Domain.
"Brother Meng, do you know the Tianwu Continent?" Yang Qi looked at Meng You and said.
"Of course I know."
Meng You nodded and continued, "Tianwu Continent is one of the most famous cultivation worlds in our Zhenwu Star Region. It has produced many powerful Martial Emperors. The most powerful ones are Tianwu Sect, Corpse Puppet Sect, and Qingdi Palace."
Yang Qi was naturally familiar with Tianwu Sect, as it was the sect where Emperor Haoyang was located. Yang Qi was also not unfamiliar with Corpse Puppet Sect, as there were relevant records about this in the inherited memories of Emperor Haoyang. However, this was the first time he had heard of Qingdi Palace.
“I wonder if this Qingdi Palace…” Yang Qi looked at Meng You with some curiosity.
"Qingdi Palace?"
Hearing this, Meng You looked at Yang Qi in astonishment, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
Seeing this, Yang Qi immediately said, "Brother Meng, did I ask something common sense wrong?"
Meng You's expression clearly told Yang Qi that he should know something about the Qingdi Palace, instead of knowing nothing about it.
"Brother Yang should not be a cultivator from the nearby star field, right?" Meng You looked at Yang Qi and asked.
"good."
Yang Qi nodded. He had no intention of hiding this from Meng You.
"No wonder Brother Yang doesn't know about the Qingdi Palace." Meng You sighed and continued, "The Qingdi Palace is the oldest of the three forces. It is rumored that the Qingdi was one of the founders of the Zhenwu Sect and a powerful emperor. This Qingdi Palace is the sect he founded."
I see!
After hearing Meng You's explanation, Yang Qi immediately understood that the Qingdi Palace should be the strongest, most profound, and most famous of the three forces. If Yang Qi knew something about the Tianwu Continent, he should know this sect.
Although Yang Qi knew something about the Tianwu Continent through the inherited memories of Emperor Haoyang, he really didn't know about this and it was the first time he heard of it.
“However, although the Qingdi Palace is the oldest cultivation force in the Tianwu Continent, it hardly interferes in the affairs of the Tianwu Continent. Even most of the strong people in the palace are not in the Tianwu Continent, but in the Zhenwu Sect. Therefore, the forces that actually control the Tianwu Continent are still the Tianwu Sect and the Corpse Puppet Sect.” Meng You said.
I see!
After hearing what Meng You said, Yang Qi also understood why the inherited memory of Emperor Haoyang did not involve the Qing Emperor Palace. To put it bluntly, although the Qing Emperor Palace is in Tianwu Continent, it is actually just a station of the Qing Emperor lineage in Tianwu Continent, as a guardian of the stability and order of Tianwu Continent.
“Both the Tianwu Sect and the Shikui Sect have powerful warriors at the level of Martial Emperor, and they are backed by the Qing Emperor’s lineage. In the Zhenwu star field, they are much stronger than the Huoyun Palace behind me.” Meng You said with emotion.
Although the Fire Cloud Palace also has a Martial Emperor in charge, he is only a low-level Martial Emperor, and he does not have the support of the Green Emperor's lineage. Whether in terms of power or status, he is inferior to the Tianwu Sect and the Corpse Puppet Sect.
"The Corpse Puppet Sect is famous for its corpse puppets. Even in the Zhenwu Star Domain, people stay away from it. In comparison, the Tianwu Sect has a much better reputation and is one of the most respected forces in the Zhenwu Star Domain." Meng You said again.
Yang Qi nodded secretly. He was not surprised about this.
The Corpse Puppet Sect is famous for its corpse puppets, which are made from the corpses of practitioners. Even though the Corpse Puppet Sect has long vowed to only use the corpses of its own strong men to make corpse puppets, this method is still inevitably guarded by most practitioners. In this way, it would be strange if the Corpse Puppet Sect could have a good relationship with people.
However, the Tianwu Sect actually had a good reputation in the Zhenwu Star Domain, which was somewhat beyond Yang Qi's expectations. It also made Yang Qi more convinced that it was the right decision for him to travel billions of miles to the Zhenwu Star Domain this time.
Meng You seemed to have remembered something, and said quickly, "Speaking of Tianwu Sect, I remember one thing. Thousands of years ago, for some unknown reason, all the masters of Tianwu Sect were driven back to Tianwu Continent. It is said that even the martial emperor realm masters who were in seclusion came out."
Thousands of years ago
Yang Qi was stunned. That was not the time when Emperor Haoyang fell. It seemed that Emperor Haoyang should have left some means in Tianwu Gate that could let the practitioners of Tianwu Gate know whether he was still alive. It was because of knowing that Emperor Haoyang fell that Tianwu Gate took such action.
Although the Tianwu Sect is a cultivation force at the Martial Emperor level, it is actually not as good as the Tiangan Palace. The accidental death of a Martial Emperor-level powerhouse is definitely not a trivial matter for the Tianwu Sect, so it is not difficult to explain such an action.
"This incident caused quite a stir in the Zhenwu Star Domain at the time, and the Corpse Puppet Sect was even more concerned about facing a formidable enemy. Everyone thought that the two major forces would engage in a war, but they did not expect that afterwards the Tianwu Sect acted as if nothing had happened." Meng You said.
Although Tianwu Sect knew that Emperor Haoyang had fallen, they did not necessarily know where he had fallen, let alone revenge. Summoning the sect's powerful men was probably just to inform them of Emperor Haoyang's death and alert the sect's top leaders.
Yang Qi's eyes narrowed, and he sighed in his heart, "With the strength of Tianwu Sect, even if they knew that it was the Dark Thunder Three Demons who killed Emperor Haoyang, they might not have the strength to seek revenge!" (To be continued)
