"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
"Yes, that is the Xuanheng Sect!"
Upon hearing this, the Firethorn Emperor nodded slightly and said, "In our understanding, the Xuanheng Sect is just an ordinary martial emperor-level cultivation force. No one would have thought that..."
No one had expected that such an inconspicuous Martial Emperor-level cultivation force would actually master the Sword Emperor's inheritance. Although the inheritance they mastered was not the Sword Emperor's most core inheritance, it was enough to shock people.
If not, how could a mere Martial Emperor-level cultivation force cooperate with the Tianhong Sect, receive its protection, and have its inheritance continue to this day
Yang Qi even guessed that in the cooperation between the two parties, what Tianhong Sect had to pay was not just as simple as protecting Xuanheng Sect. It might also need to provide some resources to Xuanheng Sect to maintain a certain level of strength.
After all, if the Xuanheng Sect declined too much, even with the protection of the Tianhong Sect, it might be secretly eliminated by some powerful person at any time.
Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of Xuanheng Sect, in addition to the protection of Tianhong Sect, Xuanheng Sect itself also needs to have a certain level of strength!
"The endless universe has too many secrets. You and I are just practitioners on the path of seeking the truth. How can we know everything?" Yang Qi glanced at the Firethorn Emperor beside him, and then continued, "Let's go!"
Whoosh~
As he spoke, Yang Qi's figure flashed and immediately turned into a stream of light, flying towards the mountain gate of Xuanheng Sect.
A moment later, the two of them came directly to Xuanheng Sect. At the same time, several practitioners flew out from Xuanheng Sect, led by a one-star late-stage Martial Emperor practitioner.
The middle-aged man in the lead looked at Yang Qi and Emperor Huoji, and said respectfully, "I am the Sect Master of Xuanheng Sect, Emperor Xuanheng, and I am honored to meet Senior Xuxing and Daoist Fellow Huoji."
Emperor Xuanheng appeared here, obviously under the instruction of Emperor Tianming. He knew that Yang Qi and Emperor Huoji would come, so he took the initiative to come here.
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Heng!"
Yang Qi and the Firethorn Emperor beside him bowed slightly in return.
“Fellow Daoist Xuan Heng, I believe you already know the emperor’s origins this time. I wonder…” Yang Qi looked at Emperor Xuan Heng not far away and said.
"Don't worry, Senior Xuxing, everything is ready." Emperor Xuanheng nodded slightly.
In fact, they didn't need to prepare much. It was mainly to receive the incoming practitioners in advance. Even when receiving the practitioners from Tianhong Sect, there was no need for the Sect Master Xuanheng, the only Martial Emperor-level practitioner in Xuanheng Sect, to come forward in person.
However, Yang Qi's identity was obviously unusual. It was Emperor Tianming who personally informed him of this through a letter, so Emperor Xuanheng took the initiative to come forward and personally welcome Yang Qi into the Xuanheng Sect.
Upon hearing this, Yang Qi nodded slightly, and then entered the Xuanheng Sect under the leadership of Emperor Xuanheng.
Emperor Pyrothorn did not have the qualifications to obtain the inheritance, so he was left in a reception hall in the Xuanheng Sect. Yang Qi, under the leadership of Emperor Xuanheng, came to the depths of the Xuanheng Sect.
"A formation at the peak level of the Martial Emperor!"
Feeling the fluctuations coming from not far away, Yang Qi's expression couldn't help but condense, and his eyes turned to Emperor Xuanheng standing beside him. The appearance of a formation at the peak level of the Martial Emperor in the Xuanheng Sect was somewhat beyond his expectations.
As if he had guessed Yang Qi's doubts, Emperor Xuan Heng said, "That formation was built by our Xuan Heng Sect's ancestors. Later, the sects that our Xuan Heng Sect depended on also helped maintain and improve it, so it has been able to last until now."
“The ancestor of Xuanheng Sect is a cultivator at the peak of Martial Emperor level?” There was a hint of surprise on Yang Qi’s face. Although he knew that Xuanheng Sect was once strong, he never thought that the ancestor of Xuanheng Sect was actually a cultivator at the peak of Martial Emperor level.
Hearing Yang Qi's words, an embarrassment appeared on Emperor Xuanheng's face. In the history of Xuanheng Sect, there had been not only cultivators at the peak level of Martial Emperor, but also more than one. However, in their generation, the most powerful Emperor Xuanheng was only at the late stage of One-Star Martial Emperor.
With such a realm of cultivation, let alone reaching the peak of Martial Emperor, even if it was a mid-level Martial Emperor, Emperor Xuanheng probably wouldn't have a glimmer of hope in his lifetime.
“The Xuanheng Sect was once a powerful cultivation force that controlled this vast star field. However, over the long years, the Xuanheng Sect continued to decline, so that in this generation, I am the only one who has managed to enter the Martial Emperor level.” Emperor Xuanheng said with a wry smile.
"The Xuan Heng Sect should have been passed down for a long time, right?" Yang Qi couldn't help but flash a look of surprise on his face when he heard this. He then looked at Emperor Xuan Heng standing beside him and said,
According to what Emperor Tianming said before, Xuanheng Sect was not strong before Tianhong Sect protected it. This means that Xuanheng Sect had already declined before Tianhong Sect became the practicing force that controlled this vast star field.
"Yes, the history of our Xuanheng Sect can be traced back to the era of Sword Emperor Wu." When Emperor Xuanheng said this, there was a hint of pride on his face.
Although the Xuanheng Sect is now in a state of decline, the length of its inheritance is probably one of the longest-standing cultivation forces, except for the cultivation forces under the command of the Lord of the Alien Universe.
The inheritance and continuation of the sect is what the Xuanheng Sect is most proud of, and the same is true for the Emperor Xuanheng before them!
It has existed for such a long time
Hearing what Emperor Xuanheng said, Yang Qi's face showed a hint of disbelief. Even though he had guessed that the Xuanheng Sect had existed for a very long time, he did not expect that the Xuanheng Sect had been passed down from the era of Emperor Jianwu to the present.
etc…
Suddenly, Yang Qi seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Emperor Xuan Heng in front of him and said, "It shouldn't be as simple as the Xuan Heng Sect accidentally obtaining the inheritance of Emperor Jian Wu? Are you from Emperor Jian Wu's lineage?"
The era of Sword Emperor Wu means that Sword Emperor Wu was still alive at that time, or had just died. It is a bit unreasonable that Xuanheng Sect obtained the inheritance of Sword Emperor Wu by such a coincidence.
Therefore, the first thing Yang Qi thought of was that the Xuanheng Sect did not obtain the inheritance of Sword Emperor Wu by accident, but they themselves had a relationship with Sword Emperor Wu. Naturally, it was not strange for them to have the inheritance of Sword Emperor Wu.
You know, Sword Emperor Wu Ke did have disciples. Although over the long years, the Sword Emperor Wu's lineage had long disappeared in the long river of time, it was not surprising that the Sword Emperor Wu's lineage had successors and could be passed down.
The Xuan Heng Sect in front of us can be traced back to the time of Sword Emperor Wu, so the possibility of being related to Sword Emperor Wu is undoubtedly the greatest. It is even possible that the Xuan Heng Sect itself belongs to the lineage of Sword Emperor Wu, so it has the inheritance of Sword Emperor Wu!
"Yes, our Xuanheng Sect's lineage is indeed the lineage of Sword Emperor Wu." Emperor Xuanheng nodded slightly, without any intention of concealing this, because Tianhong Sect was also clear about this.
