Because Li Xuan and others were busy with the founding ceremony of the sect, Yang Qi and Emperor Yinxue began to exchange their experiences in swordsmanship. This exchange lasted for several months, and the day of the founding ceremony of the Juekong Palace quietly arrived.
After the exchange, Emperor Yinxue said with emotion, "I benefit a lot from every exchange with Brother Yang."
Although they had only discussed the Dao once decades ago, when communicating with Yang Qi again now, Emperor Yinxue discovered that Yang Qi had become much more advanced in the Dao of the sword. It was no exaggeration to say that he had made rapid progress. It was precisely because of this that he had gained a lot from the second communication.
Yang Qi looked at the Silver Snow Emperor in front of him, smiled slightly and said, "I am the same as the younger generation. Besides, it seems that it won't be long before I will step into the Two-Star Martial Emperor."
As a casual cultivator, who can enter the Martial Emperor realm, which one is not a person with great talent, but when he reached the Martial Emperor realm, he had no guidance and relied on himself to practice and practice at a much slower speed. But now that Emperor Yinxue has found the direction of practice, he is constantly moving forward in this direction. With years of accumulation, his speed of improvement will naturally not be slow.
“I’m not afraid of being laughed at by you, Brother Yang, when I say this, but I originally thought that I would never have the chance to become a two-star Martial Emperor in my lifetime. I didn’t expect that I would have hope now.” Emperor Yinxue said with emotion.
When he first entered the Martial Emperor realm, Emperor Yinxue was full of energy and even thought about entering the high-level Martial Emperor realm and seeking an opportunity to surpass the Martial Emperor realm. However, as time went by and it became difficult to improve at the one-star Martial Emperor level, Emperor Yinxue did not even dare to hope to become a two-star Martial Emperor, let alone a high-level Martial Emperor.
Yang Qi looked at Emperor Yinxue in front of him and said slowly, "Brother Yinxue, in fact, with your strength, if you join a large cultivation force, it is not difficult to obtain the inheritance of the Martial Emperor level."
“Even if I join those big forces, I am not trained by them after all, so I will definitely not be able to obtain the core inheritance. When you reach the Martial Emperor realm, everyone’s life span is about the same. It is better to be free than to be constrained.” Emperor Yinxue chuckled and continued, “As for cultivation, just follow fate. If you really have good luck, you will still achieve something in the future even if you don’t join a big force.”
Hearing this, Yang Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly. He thought he was not as good as Emperor Yinxue in mentality. He also yearned for freedom and unfetteredness, but he understood that if you want to get something, you must pay for it. He was different from Emperor Yinxue. His relatives and friends were still alive. If he wanted to help them, he had to go further.
"Brother Yinxue is really free and easy. I admit that I am not as good as him." Yang Qi sighed.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yinxue smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I have simply lived too long and experienced too much, so I have become indifferent to it."
Time can erode and destroy everything. In the long river of time, except for the existence like the Lord of the Alien Universe, no one else can escape, even the strong ones at the peak of Martial Emperor.
As the day of the sect establishment ceremony approached, the Juekong Hall began to become much more lively. Now the Juekong Hall is not just home to Li Xuan and others. The sect already has its first batch of disciples, and there are also some practitioners who follow the Juekong Hall. Although the number of people in the Juekong Hall is far less than that of the true Martial Emperor-level practitioners, at least not everything needs to be done by Li Xuan and others themselves.
After several days, the day of the Juekong Palace's founding ceremony finally arrived. On this day, Yang Qi and Emperor Yinxue accompanied Lin Xian and others to attend the Juekong Palace's founding ceremony.
The first generation leader of Juekong Palace was Li Xuan, just as Yang Qi had expected. Li Xuan was not only at the peak of Martial Emperor, but also the Palace Master of Xuanfeng Palace. Naturally, he was the most suitable person to be the first generation leader.
The ceremony has not officially started yet, but many representatives from the Honglin cultivation world have come, including practitioners at the high-level Martial Emperor level. And there is not just one. Founding a sect in the Honglin cultivation world is no small matter for the Honglin cultivation world, so almost all the cultivation forces at the Martial Emperor level have come.
The guests who came were arranged in the guest area. Although Yang Qi and Emperor Yinxue were also guests, they were different from ordinary guests, so they were arranged in the area close to the upper floors of Juekong Palace.
"The people from Jinghong Sect haven't arrived yet?" Seeing that the founding ceremony was about to begin, Lin Xian received a message from the patrolling disciples, but his brows frowned.
Jinghong Sect is the strongest cultivation force in Honglin Cultivation World, and its leader is a cultivator at the level of Nine-Star Martial Emperor. Before Li Xuan and others decided to establish a sect in Honglin Cultivation World, they had some contact with the practitioners of Jinghong Sect. Although Jinghong Sect seemed to be wary of them, there was no conflict between the two sides. This time, Lin Xian and others also cordially invited the other party to attend the sect establishment ceremony, but the sect establishment ceremony was about to begin, and the practitioners of Jinghong Sect had not yet appeared, which made Lin Xian realize that something was wrong.
Yang Qi saw that Lin Xian's face was not looking good, so he immediately asked, "Brother Lin, what happened?"
"The practitioners from Jinghong Sect did not come." Lin Xian said in a deep voice.
They had a life-and-death friendship with Yang Qi, so they did not hide anything about the Jinghong Sect and told him directly.
"Didn't you come?"
Yang Qi's eyes focused. Li Xuan would soon appear to start the ceremony of establishing the sect. However, Jinghong Sect, as the number one cultivation force in Honglin's cultivation world, had not appeared yet. This was indeed a bit abnormal.
“The auspicious time for the sect-founding ceremony cannot be delayed. Even if the practitioners of Jinghong Sect do not come, we have to continue.” Yang Qi said in a deep voice. No matter what Jinghong Sect’s plans are, the sect-founding ceremony that Juekong Palace had announced long ago cannot be delayed.
Hearing this, Lin Xian showed a hint of helplessness on his face, and said with a wry smile, "We originally just wanted to find a place to settle down and didn't want to provoke other people, but now it seems..."
Hearing this, Yang Qi fell silent. From the perspective of Lin Xian and others, it was not wrong to find a place to settle down. However, from the perspective of Jinghong Sect, their cultivation world suddenly had a new cultivation force, and the strength of the top masters of this cultivation force was even higher than their own. If Jinghong Sect could remain calm when someone else was sleeping beside them, it would be strange.
“I hope Jinghongmen won’t do anything unwise.” Yang Qi said secretly in his heart.
He knew the origins and methods of Li Xuan and others, so he naturally understood that even if the Juekong Palace was established, it would not have much impact on other cultivation forces in the Honglin cultivation world, but other people did not know. They would only regard the Juekong Palace as a threat, especially the Jinghong Sect, and the best way to deal with the threat was to completely eliminate it!
Yang Qi is not a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately. There is no right or wrong in the matter of establishing the Juekong Palace. Now he just hopes that the Jinghong Sect will not make unwise moves to avoid intensifying the conflict between the two sides. (To be continued)
