"The Desolate Sea Assembly?" Lin Feng lightly raised his head. It had already been more than 20 days since he received this news from Tan Yingjie on Cloud Traversing Peak. He remembered that at that time Tan Yingjie said that the Ancient Desolate Sea World would open in about a month's time.
Counting the days, it was indeed about to open.
This Desolate Sea Assembly was a great opportunity to raise the reputation of the sect's disciples. Lin Feng had to grasp it well.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng nodded. "Thank you, Mister Song." As he spoke, Lin Feng waved his sleeve. A purple aura passed through the endless void and quickly arrived outside the Sand Continent City. It formed a path and hung in the sky.
A crack appeared in the space, and Song Fu stepped out. He bowed towards the path formed by the purple aura. "Sorry for disturbing Sect Master Lin."
A middle-aged man stood beside him. He used his magic power to lift him into the air. He also bowed towards the path formed by the purple aura. Then, he followed behind Song Fu. The two of them stepped onto the path formed by the purple aura.
There was no need for them to move forward. The purple aura swept them through the void and brought them to Jade Capital Mountain.
The moment the middle-aged man appeared, Lin Feng's eyes narrowed. "It's him?"
Speaking of which, they had met once before. However, that was a long time ago. It was when Lin Feng had yet to reach Foundation Establishment. He had gone to the Great Swamp of the Ancient Region to complete a side mission.
There, Lin Feng met Kang Nanhua and Yue Hongyan for the first time. At the same time, he also met the middle-aged man in front of him.
He was the former lieutenant of the Shenwu Military, Dao Zhiqiang.
In the Great Swamp of the Ancient Region, Lin Feng used the Yin-Yang Life and Death Formation and buried an entire battalion of Shenwu Military cultivators from the Great Zhou Dynasty. Dao Zhiqiang survived because he had left the main force. Afterward, he left the Shenwu Military and disappeared. Unexpectedly, he had joined the Great Qin Dynasty.
When Dao Zhiqiang saw Lin Feng, his mind was filled with thoughts, 'I never expected that the young Daoist I met back then would be such an important person.'
But this time, Dao Zhiqiang felt that Lin Feng had changed a lot compared to two years ago. Not only had he changed from a white robe to a purple robe, but his temperament had also changed.
But Dao Zhiqiang couldn't tell what the changes were. He could only laugh at himself in his heart, "This kind of divine power is really not something I can comprehend."
His mind was filled with countless thoughts. He bowed respectfully in front of Lin Feng, "Junior Dao Zhiqiang greets the Master of Xuanmen Gate."
Lin Feng looked at him and faintly smiled: "Where are you currently working?"
Dao Zhiqiang replied respectfully: "This junior is currently working in Prime Minister Wu's residence."
"Oh?" Lin Feng sized up Dao Zhiqiang a couple of times, thinking: "Looks like he's doing pretty well in the Qin dynasty. Even though his cultivation is still at the foundation establishment stage, his ability to do things seems to have gained Wu Qingrou's trust."
The person who sent the invitation to the Celeritas Sword Sect, Tan Yingjie is a Yuanying stage cultivator. Even though he doesn't know what level of cultivation the person in charge of receiving the Celeritas Sword Sect is at, but presumably it won't be too low.
Under these kind of circumstances, Wu Qingrou sending a foundation establishment stage cultivator to be Xuanmen Tianzong's guide, if there was no special reason then it would clearly contain the intention of belittling and looking down on him. But looking at Wu Qingrou's way of doing things, she isn't such a petty person. She wouldn't use such crude and unpresentable methods.
Looking at it like this, then there is only one explanation. Dao Zhiqiang is doing very well under Wu Qingrou's hands and is highly regarded by Wu Qingrou. She doesn't look down on him because his cultivation is slightly low and instead entrusted him with heavy responsibilities.
High cultivation talent, high cultivation in the Dao only represents that the person is strong, it can't explain the specific ability to do things.
There are a lot of things that can't be done well with just strength. The more trivial and trivial the matter, the more this is so.
Lin Feng nodded his head: "You are my, Xuanmen Tianzong's guide?"
Dao Zhiqiang respectfully replied: "This time around the Wasteland Sea Spell Assembly, junior will be in charge of your sect's reception work. If there is anything in your sect you can instruct me."
Song Fu smiled on the side saying: "Sect leader Lin, my mission has already been accomplished so I'll take my leave now. Sorry for the inconvenience."
Lin Feng slightly nodded his head: "Thank you Mr. Song." Dao Zhiqiang on the side also said: "Thank you Mr. Song before."
Song Fu chuckled saying: "You're welcome." Out of politeness, his body didn't move and he didn't break open space and leave.
Lin Feng pointed with his finger and the purple qi flashed again, sending Song Fu out.
At this time he turned around to look at Dao Zhiqiang and asked: "Other than my, Xuanmen Tianzong, which other sects have been invited to participate in the Wasteland Sea Spell Assembly?"
Dao Zhiqiang was silent for a moment before saying: "This, junior isn't too sure. Coming to receive Sect leader Lin's group was also under Minister Wu's orders. I don't understand the other situations."
Lin Feng indifferently swept his gaze over him: "You're an old friend that I've met once, why do you need to lie to me?"
Dao Zhiqiang bitterly smiled in his heart. With Lin Feng's current status and the strength he displayed, he called Dao Zhiqiang an old friend. There are a lot of things that Dao Zhiqiang can't beat around the bush anymore, otherwise it would be ungrateful.
"Celeritas Sword Sect, Sun Moon Sword Sect, Northern Militant Imperial Court, and Huo family have all received invitations." Dao Zhiqiang sighed: "There should be others, but junior really isn't sure. I only know that there are more than four."
Lin Feng nodded his head. His expression didn't change, but his thoughts spun rapidly in his mind.
He already knew about Celeritas Sword Sect, so he could put this aside for now.
Sun Moon Sword Sect, along with Celeritas Sword Sect, were the few sword sects in the present age. They were also members of the Nine Heaven Sword Alliance, but they had always been closer to the Great Qin Dynasty. Generally speaking, they were considered to be the spokesperson of the Great Qin Dynasty in the Nine Heaven Sword Alliance.
Most of the Nine Heaven Sword Alliance members' sects were located within the borders of the Great Qin Dynasty, so the Nine Heaven Sword Alliance as a whole adopted a tacit attitude towards this.
Sun Moon Sword Sect accepting the invitation was within expectations. The Great Qin Dynasty could forget anyone, but they wouldn't forget their own underlings.
"Northern Militant Royal Court, this is a bit interesting," Lin Feng said in his heart: "Did the Great Zhou Dynasty do something that made the Great Qin feel uneasy?"
The Northern Militant Royal Court was a large dynasty power north of the Great Zhou and Great Qin Dynasties. It was bordered by the Zhou and Qin Dynasties at the same time. Although its strength was a bit weaker than the two dynasties, it was still a power that couldn't be underestimated in the Divine Land.
The Northern Militant Royal Court's strength was roughly equal to the Heavenly Sword Sect, and was even stronger than the Celeritas Sword Sect, the Wind God Sect, and the Yu family.
The Great Qin inviting the Northern Militant Royal Court to participate in the Desolate Sea Assembly was undoubtedly a sign of goodwill. In the conflict between Zhou and Qin, the Northern Militant Royal Court had always been one of the main points of the game.
As for the Huo family, it was one of the four great families of the Great Qin Dynasty. It resided in the southern border of the Great Qin Dynasty and was a deep-rooted colossus.
But the Huo family's participation made Lin Feng more interested than the Northern Militant Royal Court's invitation.
This was because among the four great families, the Huo family was the closest to the Great Qin Dynasty's royal family and had the closest relationship. It was also the sworn enemy of the Yu family, which was also one of the four great families. Even the Shi family, which was related to the Yu family by marriage, was not on good terms.
Both being the Great Qin Dynasty's underlings, the nature of the Huo family was completely different from the Sun Moon Sword Sect. Compared to the Nine Heavens Sword Alliance, the conflict between the Great Qin Dynasty and the four great families was much more intense.
"From the scene on the Cloud Traversing Peak, the conflict between Wu Qingrou and Shi Chongyun was almost public. He should be biased towards the rich and powerful families." Lin Feng pondered: "But looking at Wu Qingrou's invitation list, the rich and powerful families didn't get any advantage. Going back on his word, being hesitant, such a stupid action, it really doesn't seem like his style."
Lin Feng suddenly asked Dao Zhiqiang: "Apart from the Huo family, did the other three families receive an invitation?"
After a moment of silence, Dao Zhiqiang replied: "Junior doesn't dare to be certain, but as far as I know, they didn't."
Lin Feng nodded and didn't say anything. He thought: "There are three possibilities. First, the Qin Emperor is pressuring Wu Qingrou. After all, the true master of the Great Qin Dynasty is still the Qin Emperor."
"Second, Wu Qingrou is compensating the other three families in other places."
"Third …" Lin Feng's pupils slightly contracted: "I really don't hope it's the third possibility."
Lin Feng thought for a moment and made up his mind. He then said to Dao Zhiqiang: "When is the Wasteland Sea Assembly going to be held?"
Dao Zhiqiang respectfully replied: "In seven days."
Lin Feng nodded slightly: "You can stay on my Yujing Mountain first. When the time comes, I will bring my disciples with me and set off with you."
After settling Dao Zhiqiang down, Lin Feng wasn't worried that he would cause trouble or act as a spy. On Yujing Mountain, all of his movements were in Lin Feng's eyes.
However, Lin Feng had to think about who to bring to the Wasteland Sea Assembly.
The others were easy to decide, but the key was whether to bring Zhu Yi. This made Lin Feng hesitate. This was mainly because Zhu Yi had the heavy responsibility of teaching the new disciples.
Apart from him, no one else was particularly suitable for this job.
Being able to cultivate and being able to teach others to cultivate were two completely different concepts.
"To enter the Ancient Wasteland Sea Assembly, I still need Zhu Yi to go. On one hand, it's because of his great luck. On the other hand, Xiao Yan isn't here. If Zhu Yi doesn't go, there's only one Golden Elixir Period disciple left. Although he's strong, he's still too weak."
Lin Feng had already inquired about how the Wasteland Sea Assembly's slots were decided through fights. Any disciple under the Yuanying stage could participate. However, for the sake of fairness, the competition between Golden Elixir Period disciples and Foundation Establishment disciples was held separately.
As for Qi Refinement cultivators, there was no need. Even if they went in, they would need someone to take care of them, so there was no point.
After finding Zhu Yi and explaining the whole story, Zhu Yi thought for a while and said, "Disciple is also interested in going to the Ancient Wasteland Sea Assembly. As for the new disciples, Master doesn't have to worry. I will leave some homework for them to comprehend on their own.
"With Mr. Kang and Mr. Miao watching, even if there's something they don't understand, they won't go astray."
Yuanying cultivators could not enter the Ancient Wasteland Sea Assembly. Since Lin Feng was personally leading the team, Kang Nanhua and Miao Shihao would naturally stay on the mountain.
Ever since Lin Feng returned to the mountain, he had not seen Miao Shihao. Although no one mentioned it, Lin Feng could naturally sense that Miao Shihao was in closed-door training.
"Speaking of Shihao, I wonder how his closed-door training is going?"
As Lin Feng was thinking, his heart suddenly stirred. He looked at the Mysterious Sky Treasure Tree above his head.
