It was not until half a month later that Li Yao finally realized why Han Yuantai said that the Great Qian Dynasty was not a real country at all after he traveled through the entire Sorcerers River and saw all kinds of villages, fields, and sects.
The covetous alien species on the northern prairies was quite right. Compared to a real modern country such as the Xing Yao Federation, the so-called 'Great Qian Dynasty' was nothing more than a geographical concept. Its court could not carry out the functions and authority of a real country at all.
As a helpless substitute, the Cultivation sects that took advantage of their neighbors were more like small countries.
Li Yao would never forget the resentment in the eyes of the losers when they picked up the bodies of their own Cultivators and left in silence after the battle of sects that was caused by a cow.
Li Yao had no doubt that if the people of Ghost Qin suddenly appeared in front of the sects, the sects would certainly join the arms of Ghost Qin without any hesitation and become Ghost Qin's vassals willingly in order to destroy the hostile sects.
As for the Great Qian Dynasty?
To hell with it!
Li Yao felt helpless.
Things were not supposed to be like this. Cultivators were not supposed to be like this.
The superior ancient Cultivators who were killing each other were wrong; the villagers and farmers who depended on them and were a combination of stupidity, greed, cunning, kindness and honesty were wrong; the Cultivation sects were wrong; and so was the imperial court of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Everyone, including Ghost Qin of You Yun, was wrong, terribly wrong.
However, how could he point it out, wake it up, and change it on his own?
Li Yao could not forget the starving children outside the ancestral temple of the Cultivators who were waiting anxiously for him.
Li Yao could not forget the deformed, miserable bodies of the Cultivators that were dug out from the stomachs of the demon beasts.
Li Yao could not forget the scene where two Cultivation sects were fighting each other in the sky, and the ordinary people who were attached to each other were fighting too. He could not forget the look in the eyes of the loser who looked like a wounded wolf, either.
He had been indifferent to the world before and merely regarded it as a 'mercenary camp' for the Xing Yao Federation.
However, this half a month of traveling had caused the flames in his heart to gradually burn brighter.
He could not wait to go to the Purple Pole Sword Sect and produce a batch of maintenance and strengthening components as soon as possible. Then, he would find an opportunity to set up the star beacons of an enormous scale so that they could be activated at any time.
He alone could not save the entire Ancient Sacred Sector.
However, if they bet on the strength of the entire Xing Yao Federation, they would definitely be able to do it.
Ignite the blazing heavenly fire that illuminates the universe and save all the human compatriots in the three thousand worlds who are sinking and struggling in the darkness.
This was the significance of the existence of the Xing Yao Federation. This was also the biggest reason why they were confident in contending with the Empire and the Holy League.
After reaching River County, the largest city in the middle and lower reaches of the Sorcerers' River, Ling Lanyin finally communicated with the headquarters through the branch of the Purple Pole Sword Sect that had been established there.
The news that they received in the branch, however, greatly surprised Ling Lanyin and made Li Yao's eyes light up in excitement.
"The Purple Pole Sword Sect is convening the Dragon Spring Meeting that is held once every five years in advance. All the heroes of the world are invited to taste their swords and discuss their beliefs.
"This is the Dragon Spring Meeting of the largest scale in the last hundred years. Not only will it display the divine weapons that have been newly refined in the last few years, there will even be over a hundred ancient divine weapons that have been kept secret for the past few years that will reappear in the world. It's a top grand event that all the sword cultivators in the world will rush like ducks."
"What is even more shocking is that, in the Dragon Spring Meeting, Sword Maniac Yan Liren of the Purple Pole Sword Sect and Master Righteous One Qi Zhongdao from the Ultimate One Sect, two of the three saints of the Great Qian Dynasty, will have an unprecedented confrontation of the peak.
"It is said that my senior uncle found an unparalleled sword from the primeval era and spent thirty years polishing it. Finally, he succeeded in refining it and has a chance to compete with the Heaven Flipping Seal, Qi Zhongdao's natal magical equipment."
After explaining to Li Yao, Ling Lanyin was caught in a daze. She mumbled to herself, "What do I do? What do I do? Master Righteous One and my senior uncle are both the pillars of the Great Qian Dynasty. The two of them are going to fight. They are going to fight."
It was not easy for Li Yao to figure out what had happened.
The Purple Pole Sword Sect was the largest sect of sword Cultivators in the Great Qian Dynasty. Forging and selling swords was a very important business, too. In the past, a 'Dragon Spring Meeting' would be held every few years, where the blades that had been produced in recent years would be displayed and the Cultivators from other sects would be welcome to purchase them.
In the jargon of the modern Cultivation civilization, it was probably a 'new product release' or an 'annual special sale'.
'Iron Saint' Qi Zhongdao, one of the 'Three Saints of the Great Qian Dynasty', was an immeasurable, extraordinary person with unparalleled capability.
The Purple Pole Sword Sect was the largest sect of 'sword Cultivators' in the world of Cultivators.
The Ultimate One Sect, on the other hand, was the largest sect in the entire Great Qian — no, the entire Ancient Sages Sector.
Master Righteous One, Qi Zhongdao, was the grand leader of the 'Ultimate One Sect'.
He had been the national advisor of the Great Qian Dynasty for three generations. No matter how the emperor changed, even when Wang Xi was on a rampage, he had been absolutely unmoved and had somehow become the leader of the Cultivators of the Great Qian Dynasty.
In the chaotic, disorganized Cultivators of the Great Qian Dynasty, Master Righteous One was the only one who could manage to maintain the superficial harmony and order.
Although this person held a high position and had a profound cultivation base, his reputation was extremely good. Not only did he cultivate his body and restrain himself, but he also had a pure heart and few desires. There had never been the slightest scandal of deviating from the righteous path. Moreover, when he dealt with the disputes of various sects, he was impartial. He convinced people with reason and never played favoritism.
The reason why he was called "Iron Saint" was because he was impartial, impartial, and absolutely not ambiguous.
However, if anybody disobeyed Qi Zhongdao's rules, they would know how indestructible the rules of the 'Iron Saint' were.
His personal magical equipment, the 'Heaven Flipping Seal', was known to be the most dominating primeval treasure in the Ancient Sages Sector. It could crush anyone who dared to go against it into smithereens.
'Iron Saint' Qi Zhongdao, the leader of the Cultivators of the Great Qian Dynasty, was going to have a competition with 'Sword Maniac' Yan Liren, the strongest sword Cultivator of the Great Qian Dynasty.
It was indeed an earth-shattering piece of news.
No wonder Ling Lanyin was so dumbfounded.
However, for Li Yao, the competition between the two 'top ten experts in the world' was predictable and not surprising at all.
According to his speculation, the whole thing had happened as follows.
First of all, a few years ago, when Wang Xi was in power, the Purple Pole Sword Sect, as the largest military-industrial complex in the Great Qian Dynasty, secured a few unparalleled orders with the personal relationship between the leadership of the Great Qian Dynasty and Wang Xi. It was almost the entire military equipment project of the Great Qian Dynasty and dominated the market. While it made a fortune, it also greatly offended other military-industrial groups and interest groups.
After Wang Xi's fall, the other interest groups would naturally come back and target the Purple Pole Sword Sect.
Not only would they force the Purple Pole Sword Sect to return all the orders, it would also be better if the Purple Pole Sword Sect's original market was opened. They would even beat the Purple Pole Sword Sect to death and divide its market and body.
Releasing the news that the Purple Pole Sword Sect was part of the eunuch's gang was the first step.
Sending the Ling family, a vassal family of the Purple Pole Sword Sect, to carry out the mission of 'provoking the Southland of Sorcerers' was the second step.
It was obvious that the mission was extremely difficult to succeed. Once it failed, they would start from the Ling family and dismember the entire Purple Pole Sword Sect bit by bit.
However, the Purple Pole Sword Sect was obviously not to be messed with, either.
As the largest arms group of the Great Qian Dynasty, it had raised a team of elite special forces. How could it be at the mercy of anybody?
Even though one 'Thunderous Straight Swordsman' had been killed, there were still six Yuanying left. Among them, 'Sword Maniac' Yan Liren was a super expert who was qualified to claim the throne of 'the strongest Yuanying'.
Seeing that the court had assigned such an unreasonable mission to their vassal family, their intention was obvious.
The Purple Pole Sword Sect, on the other hand, decided to attack instead of defend. They held the 'Dragon Spring Meeting' in advance, presenting the marvelous weapons and ancient treasures that the entire sect had accumulated for hundreds of years to the entire world of Cultivators.
It was not a 'new product release' or an 'annual special sale' at all.
It was obviously a blatant demonstration of strength. The only thing missing was that they were not baring their arms and cursing. "Come on. The Purple Pole Sword Sect has so many people and marvelous weapons. Who wants to steal food from the tiger's mouth? You can try to steal my orders and destroy my headquarters."
However, it was obvious that the other sects of the Great Qian Dynasty other than the Purple Pole Sword Sect were determined to peel off the Purple Pole Sword Sect's skin, oil, and even meat.
Even 'Iron Saint' Qi Zhongdao, the grand leader of the Ultimate One Sect and a well-acknowledged leader of the Cultivators, had been invited to have a summit competition with 'Sword Maniac' Yan Liren.
The meaning was obvious. 'Let's try it.'
My blood is boiling just thinking about it.
Li Yao could not help but feel that his mouth was dry, and his mind was racing.
The competition in the 'Dragon Spring Meeting' would decide the fate of the Purple Pole Sword Sect, the best sword sect of the Great Qian Dynasty. It might even change the pattern of the entire Ancient Sages Sector.
'Iron Saint' Qi Zhongdao and 'Sword Maniac' Yan Liren would certainly try their best. It would definitely not be a simple competition.
I'm told that, other than the two old fools in the Divinity Transformation Stage who went missing mysteriously a hundred years ago, Qi Zhongdao and Yan Liren basically represent the highest combat ability of the Ancient Sages Sector. Through the competition of the two unparalleled experts, the comprehensive level of the peak combat ability of the Ancient Sages Sector will be evaluated.
Also, Qi Zhongdao's natal magical equipment, the Heaven Flipping Seal, and the sword that Yan Liren just crafted, are both claimed to be primeval treasures. Is it the same as the primeval era that we talk about? I must take a good look.
Also, the most famous people in the entire world of Cultivators are gathered in the Dragon Spring Meeting. It is a great opportunity for Master Spiritual Vulture to make a grand entrance.
