A third-level cultivator at the peak of the Martial Emperor level of the Li family raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a deep voice, "It seems that Xu Xing should be on the verge of a breakthrough, otherwise he wouldn't be working so hard."
"If he can break through, the championship of this God-chosen Battle will be a sure win." A gleam of light flashed in the depths of Li Wanlong's eyes.
Now the Li family's hopes are placed on Yang Qi. Naturally, they hope that Yang Qi can win the championship of the God's Chosen Battle. And if they want to win the championship, the stronger Yang Qi is, the greater the hope.
Li Wanlong seemed to remember something, and looked at an elder beside him and asked, "Also, how is that matter going?"
"The family is investigating with all its might, and has also made use of the Wang family's intelligence network. However, the intelligence collected is not particularly much," the elder said with a hint of helplessness.
“Collect as many as you can.”
Li Wanlong paused for a moment and continued, "In the God's Chosen Battle, the intelligence of the top seeded players is very important. If we have detailed intelligence, Xu Xing will have a greater chance of winning the championship."
Although the battle of the chosen one is absolutely fair, if you don't know the opponent's strength and means, you can easily suffer a loss when fighting. If the opponent's strength is not much different, the one who knows the opponent's strength and means in advance and the one who knows nothing about the opponent will have a much greater chance of winning.
Yang Qi's strength and means had been almost exposed as early as the Hundred Victories Contest, but the monsters cultivated by some top cultivation forces rarely acted in public, and the information about them was still unknown.
Although the strength and means of these practitioners will be exposed to some extent during the Battle of God's Choice, it is not absolute. Therefore, gathering intelligence in advance will be of great help to the practitioners in the Battle of God's Choice.
The information that could be obtained by relying solely on the Li family was very limited. The Wang family, as a cultivation family with a profound foundation, was obviously much stronger than the Li family in this regard. Therefore, when gathering intelligence, the Li family also relied on the Wang family.
But even so, the Li family did not get much information. After all, those practitioners who really had a chance to compete for the championship were kept secret by all the major forces. This was also the reason why dark horses often appeared in the previous God's Chosen Battles!
Yang Qi didn't know that the Li family was helping him to gather intelligence about his opponents. At this moment, Yang Qi was in seclusion, trying to comprehend the ultimate mysteries. The previous exchanges with many practitioners of the Li family did help Yang Qi to master the upper-grade mysteries, and even deepen his understanding of the ultimate mysteries, but mastering the ultimate mysteries was still not an easy task.
You know, even in this world, it is not so easy to comprehend the ultimate mysteries, and the lower the level of cultivation, the lower the chance of comprehending the ultimate mysteries. This is why, in this world, the peak martial emperor practitioners have basically comprehended more than one ultimate mystery, while many nine-star martial emperor level practitioners have only comprehended the upper-grade mysteries. Practitioners who have comprehended the ultimate mysteries can even be regarded as seed players in the battle of the gods.
The more paths of fusion there are, the more difficult it will be to comprehend the ultimate mysteries. Even Yang Qi encountered a lot of trouble in comprehending the ultimate mysteries. Fortunately, Yang Qi is proficient in the cultivation methods of both worlds, as well as the inheritance left by the Ultimate Martial Emperor, and even the systematic Martial Emperor-level inheritance. Therefore, the difficulties he encountered were much lower than those of the practitioners in this world.
Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, the day when the God's Chosen War officially begins is getting closer and closer. All practitioners who want to participate in the God's Chosen War have begun to prepare for it.
An elder of the Li family frowned slightly and said with some concern, "In a few days, the practitioners who will participate in the God's Chosen Battle will have to set off for the nine main cities. Brother Xuxing, haven't you come out of seclusion yet?"
The God's Chosen War was fair and strict. The practitioners in each city gathered together and set off for the main city, and there were also God's Guards to protect them. If they missed the time to assemble and set off, no matter what the reason, they would be considered to have given up the God's Chosen War. This was why, even if there were still a few days before the assembly and departure, the practitioners participating in the God's Chosen War began to prepare to set off, just to worry about accidents and missing the assembly and departure time.
As a result, Yang Qi now shows no signs of coming out of retreat. How can this not make the top leaders of the Li family worried? What if Yang Qi misses the battle of God's choice during his practice at the most critical moment? That would be troublesome!
Hearing this, Li Wanlong said calmly, "Don't worry, Brother Xuxing knows his limits in this regard and will not miss the deadline."
Upon hearing this, the Li family's top leaders could only nod their heads helplessly. Yang Qi was still in retreat, and it was not time to assemble and set off yet. They could not disturb Yang Qi, otherwise, if they really disturbed him, they would become enemies with him. Now, no matter how anxious they were, they could only wait. If Yang Qi did not come out of retreat at the agreed time, they would dare to contact Yang Qi by letter.
However, the worries of the Li family were obviously unnecessary. Just two days before the gathering, Yang Qi came out of retreat. After this period of hard practice, he finally realized the ultimate mystery and completed the transformation of the Dao Tree.
After coming out of retreat, Yang Qi had no intention of resting, but chose to spar with the practitioners of the Li family who followed the path of Five Elements Fusion. It was not until the practitioners of the Li family who were participating in the Battle of God's Choice began to gather that he, under the leadership of Li Wanlong and others, headed to the assembly point in Jiangling City.
Originally, as the patriarch of the Li family, he usually did not need to show up in person in such a battle of God's choice. However, this battle of God's choice was too important for the Li family, so the patriarch of the Li family chose to personally follow the Li family members to the main city.
From this point, it is not difficult to see how much hope the Li family has placed on Yang Qi and this battle of God's choice.
When Yang Qi and his party arrived at the assembly point, there were already tens of thousands of practitioners gathered here. However, in the area designated by the Divine Guards, there were only practitioners at the Nine-Star Martial Emperor level, and no peak Martial Emperors were seen. After all, the practitioners who participated in the God's Chosen Battle were only Nine-Star Martial Emperors, and no peak Martial Emperors!
Yang Qi's eyes fell on the group of practitioners wearing red flame armor. His expression froze and he muttered to himself, "Is that the Divine Guard?"
"No, that's the Red Flame Army." Li Wanlong nodded slightly and continued, "That's the Red Flame Army of Red Flame City, the city guards of Red Flame City under the command of the nine great divine envoys!"
The number of Divine Guards is very limited. Each Divine Envoy has only 1,080 soldiers under his command. If a city dispatches 180 Divine Guards, the area that a Divine Envoy is responsible for cannot accommodate so many Divine Guards.
