In the capital of the Great Chu State, in an ordinary restaurant.
Lei Yun picked up the wine flask, took a big gulp, and laughed, "Brother, this is so refreshing. I have disliked the Church of the God of Light for a long time, but we are no match for them. Otherwise, I would have joined hands with you to teach them a lesson."
"Don't be greedy about this matter. I am alone. I didn't have enough strength before. Now I have the strength, and I can vent my anger." The sloppy old Taoist glanced at Lei Yun and chuckled.
"The Church of Light has a deep foundation and is said to have connections with another world of cultivation. It is not easy to deal with them." Chu Li on the side said in a deep voice.
As an important member of the Great Chu royal family, he knew secrets that were even above the thunderclouds. The Church of Light acted tyrannically, but it was still able to be passed down in the Zichen Continent for countless years. Its foundation was no less than that of the three major royal families. Even the royal family of the Holy Empire had to give way to the Church of Light.
"Isn't it just a connection with other cultivation worlds? What's so great about that? When I first learned that Wu Shi Martial Emperor had entered the level of Martial Emperor, I still shrank like a turtle." Lei Yun curled his lips.
The Church of the God of Light has become more restrained in recent years because it was afraid of being retaliated by the Wu Shi Great Emperor after destroying the cultivation forces in the Tian Yuan Mountains. After all, those cultivation forces have a very close relationship with the Wu Shi Great Emperor.
Hearing this, Chu Li had a bitter smile on his face. The Emperor Wu Shi was powerful, but he had already traveled in the endless universe, and no one knew whether he would come back. Moreover, they were not the Emperor Wu Shi!
"Brother, now that you have taken action against the Church of Light this time, are you planning to leave?" Chu Li suddenly said.
The sloppy old Taoist was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded slightly. This time, attacking the Church of Light was indeed the last thing he wanted to do before leaving. And he also knew that with his strength, it was no problem to teach the Church of Light a lesson, but it was far from enough to destroy the Church of Light.
"Brother, you are leaving so soon. We brothers have only been together for less than a month." Lei Yun's face changed and he said hurriedly. They haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, and they have been together for less than a month. It is really too short.
"I've been away from my hometown for so many years, and I want to go back and take a look. Besides, it's not like I won't come back. When the time comes, I'll set up a teleportation array, and it will only take a moment to come back." The sloppy old Taoist said with a smile.
Hearing this, Chu Li and Lei Yun fell silent. Others did not know that the sloppy old Taoist came from another cultivation world, but they knew that the sloppy old Taoist did not have the ability to go back before. Now that he has the ability, he naturally wants to return to his hometown as soon as possible. If it were them, they would probably do the same.
"Come on, big brother, let's not go home until we are drunk today." Lei Yun said with a smile while picking up the wine jug.
"Don't go home until you're drunk!" Chu Li smiled.
"Okay!" The sloppy old Taoist laughed.
…
The seventh floor of the Sword Tower.
Boom! Boom!
There were terrifying noises, and the dissipated power hit the protective formation. In the hall, two figures were fighting at high speed, with sword lights flashing.
“It’s still a little short. Although I can suppress the puppet, I can’t defeat it completely.” Yang Qi blasted the puppet away with a sword and sighed in his heart.
In more than a month, his cultivation had reached the late stage of four-star martial arts. With the improvement of his cultivation, even when facing stronger puppets, he not only did not fall into a disadvantage, but was able to suppress the opponent.
The puppet could not do anything to Yang Qi, but Yang Qi was also unable to defeat the puppet. After a stalemate of a cup of tea, Yang Qi had no choice but to retreat from the seventh floor of the Sword Tower.
Huang Zongming looked at Yang Qi who was leaving the Sword Tower and said with a smile, "Originally I thought your cultivation level would be unstable due to its rapid improvement. Now it seems that I was worrying too much."
Yang Qi's cultivation level has improved too fast recently. In less than three months, he has actually improved to a higher realm. Even though Huang Zongming has a broad vision, he is still worried that his foundation is not stable. However, the situation of fighting with the puppet on the seventh floor of the Golden Pagoda made Huang Zongming understand that Yang Qi's foundation is not unstable, and his combat power is even stronger than when he was in the middle stage of the four-star martial arts sect.
"I have gained some insights into the sword's meaning recently." Yang Qi smiled and continued, "Unfortunately, it is still a little short of perfection."
"Don't worry, you still have time." Huang Zongming chuckled.
With Yang Qi's training like this, even if he did not suppress his cultivation, it was very likely that he would pass through the seventh floor of the Sword Tower at the peak of the four-star martial arts master. If he suppressed his cultivation and practiced for a period of time, there would be no doubt that he would pass through the seventh floor of the Sword Tower.
"By the way, what do you think about becoming my disciple?" Huang Zongming looked at Yang Qi.
"I would like to take Senior Lin as my teacher." Yang Qi said in a deep voice.
After considering for a period of time and getting to know each other privately, Yang Qi decided to become Lin Qingyu's apprentice.
Huang Zongming nodded slightly, not finding it strange. In fact, he also realized that Yang Qi was the kind of practitioner who pursued the pinnacle of martial arts and was not suitable to become the disciple of the master. Instead, Lin Qingyu was more suitable for Yang Qi.
"I will talk to Junior Brother Lin, but you still need to go through the test yourself." Huang Zongming said.
Regarding the matter of becoming a disciple, Huang Zongming intended to provide some advice to Yang Qi and did not intend to help secretly. After all, if he himself could not pass the test of becoming a disciple, it would not be a good thing to become Lin Qingyu's disciple because of him.
"Junior understands." Yang Qi nodded slightly.
In fact, he had no plan to ask for Huang Zongming's help. He wanted to pass the test of becoming a disciple on his own. He didn't believe that he could not become Lin Qingyu's disciple even though he had passed the test of being a registered disciple of Emperor Wu Shi.
As soon as Yang Qi returned to the palace, he saw a figure in the palace. However, when he saw this figure, his face darkened.
"It's you again!" Looking at Sun Hong, Yang Qi's face darkened.
The last time Sun Hong came to accept a disciple on behalf of his master, Yang Qi had directly refused, and the two even fought in the end, and Sun Hong was injured by Liu Fei. Unexpectedly, more than a month later, Sun Hong came again.
Sun Hong was also very depressed. Last time he went back, he exaggerated and told his master about Yang Qi's refusal to become his disciple. His master just snorted and said nothing more, obviously planning to give up accepting him as a disciple. But he didn't expect that more than a month later, his master suddenly asked him to come again to convey his intention to accept him as a disciple. This time, he not only promised Yang Qi the status of a personal disciple, but also promised to give Yang Qi a fine-grade mid-grade Yuan Bing if he became his disciple!
That was a mid-grade Yuan soldier worth four or five hundred thousand. Among his master's six direct disciples, only the two most valued disciples had such treatment.
Sun Hong was both envious and jealous that his master valued Yang Qi, an outsider, so much, but he dared not disobey his master's instructions and had to come again.
Sun Hong had no idea that his master had a sudden impulse today and asked Huang Zongming about Yang Qi's situation. He learned that Yang Qi had the potential to pass the seventh floor of the Sword Tower. How could he let such a genius go? That's why Sun Hong came to Xuanjian Peak for the second time to convey his intention to accept a disciple. (To be continued)
