After traveling through space, Yang Qi and Morton soon arrived at a slightly desolate starry sky. According to the star map, this was no longer the territory of the Qingyuan Sect, but the territory controlled by the Black Xuan Sect. The Black Xuan Sect was also one of the six major forces in this star field, a powerful force that was no weaker than the Qingyuan Sect.
After knowing the location of the ruins, Yang Qi couldn't help but look at Morton beside him and chuckled, "No wonder Brother Mo is so careful and didn't report the ruins to Qingyuan Sect. It turns out that the ruins are not within the territory of Qingyuan Sect at all."
After discovering a relic suspected to be the ruins of the Wanxian Sect's old nest, even if Morton did not explore it himself, he could still get a lot of rewards if he reported it to Qingyuan Sect, and Qingyuan Sect would definitely make some resources available to Morton's lineage. But Morton did not do so. Yang Qi had thought that Morton was thinking about his lineage and wanted to get more cultivation resources, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.
This relic is not within the territory of Qingyuan Sect at all. If it is reported directly to Qingyuan Sect, Qingyuan Sect will not be able to send a large number of practitioners to blockade this area. At that time, it will only lead to a conflict with Heixuan Sect, and even the other four major forces will be involved. Qingyuan Sect may not get much benefit.
In this case, there is naturally no need for Morton to report it. It would be better for him to come and explore on his own. By then, even if the Hei Xuan Sect notices it, they will not be able to take action against Morton. Otherwise, the Qing Yuan Sect will have a reason to intervene in the matter.
After hearing Yang Qi's words, Morton said calmly, "Although there are some conflicts among the six major forces, there are very few major fights. If we report it to the sect, I'm afraid that the six major forces will have to jointly explore it in the end. It's better for me to explore it myself first and then report it."
Although it was just a relic left after the destruction of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, based on past experience, even with the strength of Morton and Yang Qi, it was impossible to explore the relic completely, let alone obtain all the opportunities therein. Only by exploring on your own first and then reporting back can you maximize your benefits.
Hearing this, Yang Qi couldn't help but nodded, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Qingyuan Sect and Morton had different pursuits, so there was no major conflict. Even if Morton explored the ruins first and then reported, Qingyuan Sect would not suffer any loss. On the premise of ensuring the interests of the sect, it was natural to seek some benefits for oneself.
Yang Qi's eyes focused, and his perception was immediately released. He soon discovered that there was something abnormal about the power of time and space not far away. He immediately looked at Morton and said, "Brother Morton seems to have been prepared."
"These are just some little tricks to prevent being discovered by other practitioners. I'm sorry to make you laugh, Brother Xuxing." Morton said with a faint smile.
Yang Qi is good at the means of the virtual world, and the four most basic ways of the virtual world require the ways of space and time. Yang Qi's means of the virtual world are so powerful, so naturally his attainments in the ways of space and time will not be bad.
Wow~
Before he finished speaking, Morton's hand moved, and then the void not far away twisted, a strange wave spread out, and then a translucent light curtain appeared in the void.
Yang Qi sensed the situation of the light curtain, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that the time has not come yet."
The light curtain was a protective formation, but the power of the protective formation was quite strong, almost at the level of a four-star Martial Emperor, and it was not something that Yang Qi and Morton could break through by force.
"The power of this protective formation is weakening, but it looks like we have to wait a little longer." Morton said helplessly.
The reason why Morton was not in a hurry to tell Yang Qi before was not because he did not want to explore the ruins as soon as possible, but because the protective formation of the ruins was too powerful and he could not break it by force. He could only wait until the power of the protective formation weakened.
Although the power of the protective formation has weakened a little, it is still not something that Yang Qi and the other two can break. They can only continue to wait. Morton immediately set up a hidden formation again, and then he and Yang Qi hid in a broken star nearby.
In the broken stars, Yang Qi and Morton exchanged their own cultivation experience and insights, which could be regarded as a small discussion meeting. Although Morton's talent and potential were far from being comparable to Yang Qi's, he was a Martial Emperor who had lived for a long time. In addition, the nearby star field was blessed by the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, so Morton's vision and knowledge were not low, which also allowed Yang Qi to gain a lot.
Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, more than a month had passed. According to Morton's previous estimation, the power of the ruins protection array should have been weakened to the level of a low-level martial emperor, and the two of them ended their discussion.
"I have gained a lot from discussing Dao with Daoist Fellow Xu Xing." Morton sighed and continued, "If I had known Daoist Fellow Xu Xing tens of millions of years earlier, I might have already entered the mid-level Martial Emperor level."
Although Morton gained a lot from the discussion, he didn't really care about it. After all, his life span was coming to an end, so even if his strength could be improved, it wouldn't make much sense.
"Brother Mo, you think too highly of me." Yang Qi said with a wry smile, but he felt a little helpless in his heart. He could feel Morton's loneliness.
But he couldn't persuade Morton. Should he let Morton continue to pursue the path of martial arts with all his strength? But this was almost destined to be fruitless. Ideals are ideals, and reality is reality. After pursuing the peak of martial arts for tens of millions of years, the deadline is approaching. Morton just wants to obtain some resources for his descendants. Even Yang Qi can't say anything.
Today's Morton has lost the enthusiasm to pursue the pinnacle of martial arts. Even if he really gets an opportunity, it is unlikely that he will achieve anything great.
Yang Qi raised his eyebrows, and a thought flashed through his mind, "Will Morton's today be my future?"
No one in the history of the Endless Universe has ever been able to surpass the Martial Emperor realm, and Yang Qi doesn't even want to go. Although it's relatively easy to become the master of a different universe, it's still a slim hope for ordinary practitioners. In addition, other practitioners are almost all doomed to die, even those as strong as the third level of the Martial Emperor peak. One day in the future, Yang Qi may also be like Morton, and his time will come and he can only wait for death!
When that time comes, what should we do
"I have only been practicing for more than 10,000 years, and there is still a long time before the end. It is too early to think about these things now." Yang Qi shook his head slightly, thinking secretly in his heart, "Besides, even if the end is really coming, I also want to know how far I can go in the end."
The end of one's life does not mean that one cannot practice or improve. The path of practice is walked out step by step by practitioners. Even if the end of one's life is really approaching, Yang Qi also wants to know how far he can go in the end.
The peak of Emperor Wu, or even further? (To be continued)
