"Thank you for the compliment, senior." Yang Qi said hurriedly. He did not dare to be arrogant in front of a powerful martial arts master.
Long Yi winked at Long Yun who was standing beside him, and Long Yun stepped back.
"Young friend Yang, are you interested in accompanying me on a tour of this clan's land?" Long Yi said with a smile.
"It's up to you, senior." Yang Qi said respectfully.
Under the leadership of Long Yi, Yang Qi and his companions walked around the clan land. Most of the strong men of the Long family were practicing in seclusion. The warriors they saw along the way were those with cultivation levels below the level of martial artists. Even some children of a few years old had cultivation levels at the early stage of Ming Jin. None of the people they saw along the way were ordinary people!
"There are nearly three hundred people in the Long family, but there are only a few dozen practitioners at the martial arts master level." Long Yi said.
Just a few dozen people!
Yang Qi smiled bitterly. Dozens of martial arts practitioners were considered a relatively powerful family even in some towns in the Tianwu Continent. In the cultivation world on Earth, the Long family was the leader among the six holy places. If the dozens of martial arts practitioners in the Long family were still considered a handful, the other forces would have even fewer.
"The Long family has a special bloodline and many strong people. Although there are not many people, each of them is a cultivator." Yang Qi sighed.
This is the Long family. The children of the Long family are born with the power of blood in their bodies. Although this blood power is not very strong, for weak practitioners, this little blood power is a huge help in their practice.
"Our Long family was built on the power of blood, and it will also be broken by the power of blood. Do you know that our Long family has experienced several periods of weakness in history?" Long Yi said with a wry smile.
"Blood dilution." Yang Qi murmured.
Long Yi nodded slightly. For practitioners who rely on the power of bloodline to practice, the power of bloodline is their foundation. If the power of bloodline cannot be awakened, it is difficult to achieve anything. And the bloodline practice forces are often in the form of families. The family form has great disadvantages in the birth of geniuses. Although the power of bloodline can make up for some of the shortcomings of the family form, once the power of bloodline cannot be awakened, it is like adding insult to injury.
Throughout history, although the Long family has always been strong, there have been several times when they were not the strongest in the holy land. This is because there were too few people who awakened their bloodline power in those generations.
The advantages of practitioners of blood power are obvious. Relying on the awakening of blood, their practice can be twice as effective with half the effort. However, the disadvantages are also obvious. Relying too much on the power of blood has many limitations in terms of achievement and inheritance.
"I believe you have met the president of the Dark Council before. He should have told you something, right?" Long Yi suddenly said.
Yang Qi was startled, then nodded and said, "President North told me that in the current cultivation world, it is very difficult to enter the martial arts sect with normal cultivation methods."
"That's right." Long Yi continued, "Except for our Long family, the other five holy places are not inferior to us in terms of foundation and inheritance. Even the Tianwu Sect, which was once the top holy place in history, has not been able to produce a martial sect in this generation and has to close its gates."
Of the six holy places, three have closed their gates and will only show up when the cultivation world encounters a major event, just like when the Holy See of Light found the Holy Grail this time, the three holy places with closed gates showed up. But after deciding to form an alliance, the three holy places only left one martial arts practitioner to pass on the news in the martial arts world, and the other masters are still practicing in the secret realm.
“The five major holy places found it difficult to break through to the martial arts realm, so they either chose to close their mountain gates, or chose to travel the martial arts world, or even used magic to speed up the training of low-level martial artists. But after so many years, the one with the strongest cultivation is only the patriarch of the Southern Xinjiang Holy Land.” Long Yi said.
In order to seek a way to break through to the Martial Sect level, each major holy land has its own plan. Unfortunately, after so many years, there is still only one Martial Sect expert, Long Yi, in the Chinese cultivation world.
“Senior, the Southern Xinjiang Holy Land massacres warriors and practices magic. Are we just going to let them go on like this?” Yang Qi frowned. Among the five holy places, the Southern Xinjiang Holy Land’s approach is the most radical and the most disgusting. It simply ignores the secular laws.
Hearing this, Long Yi couldn't help but look at Yang Qi and said slowly, "Yang Qi, I know you have practiced from the secular world to this level today, but you have to understand that the six major holy places in the Chinese cultivation world are not in harmony, and there are foreign enemies. The Southern Border Holy Land cannot use force."
The strength of the Southern Border Holy Land is only second to that of the Long Family. If the Long Family takes action against the Southern Border Holy Land, the other four holy lands will most likely stand idly by. By then, even if the Long Family eliminates the Southern Border Holy Land, it will probably be seriously damaged. This means that the Chinese cultivation world has lost two major holy lands in an instant, and the overall strength of the Chinese cultivation world has dropped significantly.
Yang Qi naturally understood this principle, but when he participated in the plan to destroy the Southern Xinjiang Holy Land, he saw a sect being slaughtered by the Southern Xinjiang Holy Land, and dozens of people died at the hands of the Southern Xinjiang Holy Land. He still couldn't accept it.
He could understand the death of practitioners in life-and-death battles, but he could not accept the behavior of slaughtering other practitioners and using other practitioners as nutrients for his own practice.
When Long Yi saw Yang Qi's expression, he knew that he had not been able to convince Yang Qi, and he smiled bitterly in his heart.
"You have to understand that the cultivation world is ultimately a place where strength is used. If you have the strength to suppress the Southern Border Holy Land, you can naturally make rules." Having said this, Long Yi looked at Yang Qi and continued, "If you don't have enough strength, you can only abide by it."
"I understand." Yang Qi nodded slightly. Even if he reached Long Yi's level, it would be impossible to suppress the Southern Border Holy Land. That was a holy land with dozens of martial arts masters, and there were countless methods left by the masters of previous generations. It was not easy to suppress a holy land!
"Senior, what level have you reached in your cultivation?" Yang Qi seemed to have thought of something and asked.
"Me?" Long Yi was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Yang Qi to ask this question, but he still said, "My cultivation is at the late stage of the two-star martial arts sect."
Long Yi seemed to have thought of something and added, "North's cultivation is at the early stage of the two-star martial master. If he wasn't affected by the cold poison, his strength should be close to mine. As for the Holy Emperor of Light, he should be at the early stage of the three-star martial master. But now that he has obtained the Holy Grail, if the Holy Grail recovers its former power, his strength may very well step into the four-star martial master."
Two-star martial arts master
Yang Qi was slightly stunned. He originally thought that it would be difficult to enter the Wuzong realm. The cultivation of Long Yi and others should only be at the one-star Wuzong level. Unexpectedly, even the weakest North's cultivation was at the early stage of the two-star Wuzong realm, and this was due to the influence of the cold poison. In addition to North and Long Yi, the cultivation of the Holy Emperor of Light actually reached the early stage of the three-star Wuzong realm.
However, Long Yi's combat power cannot be measured by his cultivation. He has dragon blood in his body, but when he transforms into a dragon and fights, his real combat power is probably close to that of the Holy Emperor of Light. (To be continued)
