Yang Qi didn't know what the leading practitioner was thinking, so he continued to go up the stairs. When he passed the other practitioner's step, he nodded slightly at the practitioner and continued to go up.
"He knows this emperor?" Seeing Yang Qi nodding at him, the cultivator knew that the Yang Qi in front of him might know him.
Thinking of this, the cultivator looked at Yang Qi and said, "I didn't ask for your name, fellow Taoist, but do you know me?"
"My name is Xu Xing. I did meet fellow Taoist once many years ago." Yang Qi nodded slightly. He did not intend to hide anything in response to the cultivator's question.
Um
Hearing Yang Qi's words, the cultivator couldn't help but raise his brows, and thought rapidly in his mind. As a cultivator at the peak level of Martial Emperor, and a cultivator who is good at the soul, he can naturally remember clearly what happened in the past.
However, after thinking about it, he did not find a cultivator like Yang Qi, which made him look puzzled.
"Fellow Daoist, are you also a cultivator from the Soul Palace?" the cultivator spoke again.
Hearing this, Yang Qi nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I am also a member of the Soul Palace."
However, even so, the cultivator still did not recall any impression of Yang Qi, which made him frown again, and then he asked, "I wonder who is your disciple?"
Since he couldn't figure out Yang Qi's identity, he naturally placed his hopes on Yang Qi's master. After all, his master must be extraordinary to be able to cultivate a cultivator like Yang Qi. If he knew the master's master, he might be able to know Yang Qi's origins and thus his true identity.
Yang Qi did not hide anything and said directly, "My master is the Great Emperor Wu Shi."
The Great Emperor Wu Shi
The cultivator was startled for a moment, then his face changed drastically. He had heard that Emperor Wu Shi had reached the peak of the Martial Emperor, and was a cultivator at the second level of the peak of the Martial Emperor. However, he was not familiar with Emperor Wu Shi, so he did not attend the celebration banquet for Emperor Wu Shi's reaching the peak of the Martial Emperor.
He heard about the information about Emperor Wu Shi stepping into the peak of the Martial Emperor from other practitioners who came to the Hantian Sect ruins. However, he did not expect that the practitioner in front of him was actually the disciple of Emperor Wu Shi! If he did not know that Yang Qi, who was at the second level of the peak of the Martial Emperor, could not lie to him, he would have doubted whether Yang Qi was deceiving him.
After all, from the latest news he learned, Emperor Wu Shi had only recently entered the peak of Martial Emperor. What did this mean? This meant that Yang Qi in front of him either became a disciple of Emperor Wu Shi with the cultivation level of the peak of Martial Emperor, or he broke through after Emperor Wu Shi broke through the peak of Martial Emperor!
The possibility of a cultivator at the peak of the Martial Emperor level becoming a disciple of a cultivator below the peak of the Martial Emperor is almost non-existent. After all, a cultivator at the peak of the Martial Emperor is someone who has comprehended a certain Tao to the ultimate level of perfection and can go to the chaotic world to seek opportunities.
For practitioners at this level, no matter their own cultivation realm or vision and knowledge, it is almost impossible for practitioners below the peak of Martial Emperor to teach and guide them.
But once this possibility is ruled out, there is only one possibility left, that Yang Qi in front of him entered the peak level of Martial Emperor after Emperor Wu Shi entered the peak level of Martial Emperor. And it is very likely that he, like Emperor Wu Shi, broke through from the first level of Martial Emperor to the second level of Martial Emperor in a short period of time!
Originally, the cultivator in front of him was a little bit unbelievable when he heard that Emperor Wu Shi had broken through to the second level of the peak of the Martial Emperor not long after entering the peak of the Martial Emperor. But after seeing Yang Qi and thinking about Yang Qi's situation, he realized that it was really possible to break through to the peak of the Martial Emperor and enter the second level of the peak of the Martial Emperor in a short period of time.
At this moment, he also understood why he had no impression of Yang Qi. According to Yang Qi, the two had met once many years ago. When Emperor Wu Shi was not yet born, he was already a cultivator at the peak of the Martial Emperor level. This means that when he met Yang Qi, Yang Qi should have been very weak. Perhaps he had only seen Yang Qi out of the corner of his eye. How could an inconspicuous cultivator possibly attract his attention
When he came to his senses, he found that Yang Qi had already headed towards the top of the stairs. It seemed that the stairs did not pose any obstacle to him at all. This made him feel emotional and envious at the same time.
"I've heard for a long time that Emperor Wu Shi seems to have a disciple whose talent and potential are not inferior to his. Now that I see him, he is indeed extraordinary!" The cultivator was deeply moved, but did not continue to dwell on the matter. Instead, he secretly reminded himself to forget about meeting Yang Qi.
After all, the master and disciple of Wu Shi Great Emperor had reached the peak of Martial Emperor in a short period of time and had broken through to the second level of the peak of Martial Emperor. Once this news spread, it would definitely cause quite a stir in the cultivation world of the Endless Universe. As a fellow cultivator of the human race, the cultivator in front of him also knew clearly that Yang Qi had reached the second level of the peak of Martial Emperor. If the other party had not taken the initiative to publicize it, he would not have spread the news.
Yang Qi did not actively publicize the idea of entering the second level of the peak of the Martial Emperor. Otherwise, when he was in the Endless Universe, he could have held a grand celebration banquet, and then the cultivation world would naturally know that he had entered the second level of the peak of the Martial Emperor. However, he did not do so.
Although he didn't actively publicize it, it didn't mean that Yang Qi had to conceal it deliberately. After all, with his current strength and means, there was no need to conceal it deliberately. Except for some major news, it would take a lot of time for news that circulated in a small range to spread completely.
When Yang Qi first entered the cultivation world, the name of the Great Emperor Wu Shi had already spread in many star fields in the Endless Universe, but even after Yang Qi entered the high-level Martial Emperor, the name of the Great Emperor Wu Shi had not yet been truly resounding throughout the entire Endless Universe cultivation world. The spread of fame requires a medium and time, and it is impossible to spread in an instant. Just like the fact that the Great Emperor Wu Shi entered the peak of the Martial Emperor, even with the help of the masters of the various alien universes, it can only be said that it was widely spread, and it still could not reach the point of resounding throughout the cultivation world.
Therefore, only a small number of practitioners knew about Yang Qi's cultivation level. By the time the news spread thoroughly, Yang Qi's strength and means had already undergone earth-shaking changes, so Yang Qi did not particularly care about exposing his identity in such a small range.
Watching Yang Qi continue to climb the stairs, the cultivator's expression froze, and he muttered to himself, "I wonder if this fellow Daoist Xu Xing can reach the top of the stairs?"
Even though this practitioner still has some strength left after reaching this point, he is very aware of his own situation. Given his current condition, it is impossible for him to reach the top of the stairs!
