As soon as Meng Qi heard the words "Space-Breaking Sect", she instantly became alert.
She slowly clenched her left hand, and a few Xuan Spirit Stones silently appeared in her palm. The Xuan Spirit Stones were smooth and warm, and they gently rubbed Meng Qi's palm.
Ji Wujiong, who was standing next to her, also raised his hand slightly. He narrowed his eyes, and his gaze became extremely cold.
Yan Shunbei, who was sitting on the main seat, glanced at the two of them indifferently. His gaze quickly went past Meng Qi and looked behind her.
The door behind them opened again, and footsteps were heard.
Even without turning around, Meng Qi could feel an inexplicable aura suddenly rising in the main hall.
The aura was not sharp, nor was it oppressively powerful, but it was completely impossible to ignore.
The footsteps gradually came closer. They were neither fast nor slow, and the newcomers were very calm.
Meng Qi could clearly hear that there were two people slowly walking in.
She still did not turn around. She only narrowed her eyes slightly, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, covering the light in her eyes.
Ji Wujiong was originally standing to the right of Meng Qi. He slightly bent three fingers of his left hand, which was hanging by his side.
The sleeves of his black robe moved without wind, and the sleeves of his robe brushed against the back of Meng Qi's hand.
A slightly cold little thing was stuffed into Meng Qi's hand. The thing was very hard, but it was round and smooth, like a small pearl.
Just by holding it, she seemed to feel the surging power from the sea, which came and went like the tides, rising and falling.
A shark pearl?
Meng Qi's gaze moved slightly, and she held the shark pearl even tighter.
The shark pearl was also a kind of natural treasure. It took a hundred years to form a prototype, and it usually took a thousand-year-old shark pearl to have a miraculous effect. It was very rare and rather magical.
The shark pearl contained the essence of the tides and waves. If it was placed in a room, it could release an endless aura of the sea to help a seriously injured person heal.
If he threw out the Mermaid Pearl and shattered it with his Spirit Qi, he would be able to release the power of the surging waves in an instant to obstruct the enemy and buy some time for the owner to escape.
The Broken Space Sect was the number one sword cultivation sect in the Western Kingdom. With the Sect Master personally coming, even Ji Wujiong was not confident that he and Meng Qi could escape unscathed.
Therefore, he gave the Mermaid Pearl to her first. At the critical moment, even if it was just a breath's worth of time, it could still turn the situation around.
Meng Qi's eyelashes fluttered. She had seen the shark pearl in Ji Wujiong's hand many times. When she was injured during the tribulation, it was this shark pearl that had comforted her and healed her.

This was a 3,000-year-old Shark Pearl, which was even rarer.
She clenched the round bead in her hand even tighter. The footsteps behind her had already reached her side.
The sleeves of the blue robes brushed past her, and the two xiuzhe of Broken Space Sect walked past her.
As if they didn't see Meng Qi, they walked past her and went straight to Yan Shunbei.
Meng Qi raised her eyes and looked at the backs of the two people.
The man walking in front had a small black crown on his black hair. He was tall and wore a wide blue robe that was tied up by a dark blue belt.
Just by looking at his back, the man with the wide sleeves looked quite dashing.
The oppressive aura when he entered the sect before seemed to be an illusion. Meng Qi couldn't even feel the slightest bit of sword energy on him.
He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man. Other than his tall figure, there was nothing special about him.
This was … … the new Sect Master of Broken Space Sect?
Previously, Su Junmo said that the Broken Space Sect hadn't had a new Sect Master for ten years. She didn't expect that they would choose a new Sect Master so quickly.
This xiuzhe must have something out of the ordinary.
Behind the blue robed man was a young male xiuzhe.
He wore a dark red xiuzhe robe, and his hair was tied up meticulously. From Meng Qi's angle, she could see the other's side profile. His eyebrows were high, his nose was high, and his facial features were deep as if they were carved by a sword. He looked quite fierce.
He was different from the blue robed man. When he passed by Meng Qi, the sword energy on his body surged, and he couldn't completely restrain it.
Meng Qi narrowed her eyes. Her fingers that were holding the shark pearl slightly tightened, and she gripped the round pearl even tighter.
She definitely wasn't a match for this young male xiuzhe alone.
Not to mention there was also the Sect Master of Broken Space Sect whose cultivation she couldn't detect at all.
"How has Brother Yan been?" The person who came was Ling Ji.
He raised his hands towards Yan Shunbei. His tone sounded quite familiar with the other: "It's been three years since we last met. Brother Yan's cultivation has really improved by leaps and bounds. It seems that you've already touched the edge of Truth Realm Five."
Meng Qi glanced sideways and exchanged a look with Ji Wujiong.
She slowly took a step back, and her gaze drifted towards the window on the left side of the hall.
The fact that the Broken Space Sect was looking for her had caused an uproar in the three thousand fields.
Meng Qi had also thought about what she should do if she met a disciple of the Broken Space Sect. With Ji Wujiong by her side, she wasn't too worried.
However, she never expected that the first person she would meet would be the Sect Master of the Broken Space Sect.
She had always been self-aware. Even if it was a sword cultivator of the same realm, she couldn't defeat them.
Since this Sect Master knew that Sect Master Yan was at Truth Realm Five, his cultivation wouldn't be weaker than Yan Shunbei's. It might even be higher.
Meng Qi relaxed her breathing, and slowly took a step back.
Qiao Ran, who was standing behind Ling Ji, suddenly turned his head and quickly glanced at Meng Qi.
The young man had handsome features. His long red robe made him look even more tall and straight. His clear eyes swept across Meng Qi's face curiously, but no hostility could be seen.
"Let's go!" Ji Wujiong's voice suddenly sounded.
He pressed his right hand on his chest, and a narrow black blade instantly appeared in his hand.
Ji Wujiong stepped forward and blocked in front of Meng Qi. He reprimanded in a low voice again, "Let's go first!"
Meng Qi was startled. She rushed toward the window that she saw earlier.
"Heh — —" Someone chuckled behind her. The laughter was quite joyful, and there was no sarcasm in it.
With a "whoosh" sound, a narrow, seemingly transparent long sword suddenly appeared in front of Meng Qi, firmly blocking her path.
Meng Qi suddenly stopped. She was about to crush the shark pearl and throw it out. The silver medicine knife instantly floated out from the storage bag. She clenched the Xuan Spirit Stone in her left hand. She was just about to throw out the shark pearl, and then she would grab her medicine knife.
The long sword floating in front of Meng Qi trembled slightly, and suddenly moved forward as fast as lightning.
"Clang, clang." Two soft sounds rang out. Meng Qi didn't see what happened at all. In that instant, she felt a huge shock in her chest. Her arm holding the medicine knife was burning hot, and the medicine knife almost flew out of her hand.
It turned out that in that instant, Ling Ji had already controlled his seemingly transparent long sword to knock on Meng Qi's medicine knife.
It was clear that he had shown mercy.
Meng Qi's arm trembled a few times, but the medicine knife was still in her hand. It wasn't knocked away.
She was startled.
Her cultivation was naturally far inferior to this Broken Space Sect's sect master. If he really wanted to deal with her, he didn't even need to use his natal long sword. He probably could completely crush her with a finger.
But now, his sword didn't hurt her.
It seemed that at least, he didn't plan to take her life here.
"Brother Ling." Yan Shunbei finally spoke. "These two young friends are my Mirror Moon Sky's guests."
He slowly stood up and took a step forward.
Hearing this, Meng Qi turned to look at Yan Shunbei.
From the moment they entered this hall, the other party's attitude was always gentle, as if he was the kindest elder in their sect. There wasn't any sharpness to be seen.
At this moment, Yan Shunbei took a step forward. His long robe fluttered without wind. He was like a deep pool, and his aura as the sect master of the number one spell cultivation sect in the Three Thousand Worlds was undoubtedly revealed.
This was Mirror Moon Sky after all.
Yan Shunbei didn't do anything. A powerful aura came down from above, stunning everyone in the hall.
Meng Qi's medicine knife was still in her hand, but she couldn't even move a finger. The shark pearl in her palm could be thrown out with a raise of her hand. She couldn't even open her fingers.
Meng Qi took a deep breath. The two people in the hall were really too strong.
This kind of difference in cultivation was really impossible to make up for.
Meng Qi looked at Ji Wujiong. The black-robed youth stood tall. The narrow knife was already in his hand, but he looked about the same as her.
The Amethyst Eight Trigrams Disc floated beside him. The natal magic treasure that was usually lively and active and would never stay there quietly was now quiet and obedient. It didn't move at all.
The youth brought by the sect master of the Broken Void Sect was also about the same as Meng Qi. He stood there in a daze, and didn't even summon his natal sword.
Only Ling Ji.
He chuckled. With a wave of his sleeve, his natal sword returned to his side.
That narrow and thin sword looked like a transparent sword. The tip of the sword trembled a few times, and let out a soft "weng" sound.
It was clearly the first time she saw that sword. For some reason, Meng Qi felt that she could feel the other party's excitement at this moment.
Her gaze followed the sword and slowly turned to Ling Ji's face.
This new sect master of the Broken Void Sect looked unexpectedly young, compared to Meng Qi's expectations.
His jet-black hair was meticulously tied up on top of his head by that small black crown.
Just by looking at his face, Ling Ji looked at most 30 years old.
— He didn't even look much older than the disciple he brought.
But if one looked at Ling Ji's eyes, one would find that he was indeed not young.
Although his eyes were also very bright, they were not the same as the eyes of a young person.
There were traces of time in his eyes, which made his eyes not as bright as a young person's eyes.
But Ling Ji was very good-looking. His facial features were handsome. Even though he was older, he looked even more charming. Even in the cultivation world where there was no lack of beauties, he could be considered as an absolutely handsome man.
Ling Ji's body clearly did not carry a trace of sharp sword aura. Even his smile carried a bit of carefree laziness.
But when that transparent sword hovered beside him, it made him appear very dangerous.
That feeling … … it was as if this person was a sword that had not been unsheathed.
But everyone who saw him knew that once the sword was unsheathed, it would definitely be peerless and would shock the world.
Meng Qi's heart skipped a beat.
A Insightful Truth Realm expert with a dangerous sword in his hand. This person's entire sect is looking for me … …
Her breathing became rapid.
Meng Qi was not afraid of death before.
Of course, she was willing to live well. She was a medical cultivator. Her respect and love for life had always been real.
But if she really encountered danger, she was also brazen and fearless.
But now, she wanted to live well.
She still had very important things to do. Things that she had to do even if she had to do her best!
Ling Ji looked at Meng Qi quietly. His gaze finally landed on her elegant little face and met her clear eyes.
"Meng Qi?" His tone was indifferent. With a light flick of his finger, his life sword suddenly disappeared.
"Brother Ling." Yan Shunbei took another step forward.
"Brother Yan, don't worry. I have no ill intentions towards this …" Ling Ji turned his head, and a lazy smile appeared on his lips. "towards this little friend Meng Qi."
Meng Qi pursed her lips.
Just as the two of them were talking, her fingers seemed to be able to move again. She slowly raised her hand and gripped her medicine knife tightly.
"The Ten Extremes Mountain is about to reopen." Yan Shunbei slowly walked towards Meng Qi. "Little friend Meng was invited by me to participate in the Ten Extremes Mountain."
"Oh?" Ling Ji raised his eyebrows. "Brother Yan personally invited … a Nascent Soul cultivator?"
He smiled playfully. "Is it for your son?"
Yan Shunbei nodded slightly, and said, "My son is seriously injured. The doctors of the Three Thousand Worlds are powerless. Little friend Meng has inherited Senior Lin Yan's legacy. If you can pass the test of the Ten Extremes Mountain, my son may be saved. "
"Oh." Ling Ji smiled lazily, and waved his sleeve. "Brother Yan means that Jingyuetian wants to protect the person my Void Shattering Sect wants?"
"It's not Jingyuetian, it's me." Yan Shunbei's tone was still indifferent.
His expression looked no different from before. Even his gaze did not change, but the atmosphere in the entire hall seemed to have changed.
"Brother Yan and I have known each other for seventy years. We have fought many times since the Core Formation stage." Ling Ji was still smiling. "I am inferior to Brother Yan in Core Formation and Nascent Soul. After Spirit Severing, my lifebound sword was formed. I have never lost to Spirit Severing or Insightful Emptiness. "
He looked lazily at Yan Shunbei. "Now that you and I have reached Insightful Emptiness, we have not sparred for many years. Why don't we try it today?"
Hearing this, Meng Qi took another step back.
There was no room for them to interfere in a fight between two Insightful Emptiness elites.
Right now, they were in Jingyuetian. Even if Sect Leader Yan was not this Void Shattering Sect Leader's match, he would not be in too much danger.
She instantly understood this, and slowly took another step back.
"Forget it." But before Yan Shunbei could speak, Ling Ji said lazily, "I have sparred with you so many times. There is no point in sparring again."
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Yan Shunbei. "Also, I know that you were injured in your early years. Although it seems fine, your foundation was damaged. I do not want to have an unfair advantage."
"We …" Ling Ji said slowly, "Why don't we change the way we play?"
Ling Ji's tone was relaxed. It seemed that he was very familiar with this Jingyuetian Sect Leader.
"What do you want?" Yan Shunbei seemed to be very familiar with the tone of this old opponent.
"My disciple, Qiao Ran." Ling Ji suddenly patted the shoulder of the young man beside him. "Although he is not as talented as your son, he is diligent. He barely reached Insightful Emptiness Realm."
Meng Qi turned to look at the young man. He looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. She did not expect him to be a Insightful Emptiness Realm cultivator.
But she also knew that there were many geniuses in these large cultivator sects. It was not surprising.
"Greetings, Sect Leader Yan." Qiao Ran quickly went forward to greet him.
Yan Shunbei nodded slightly. He still did not understand what Ling Ji meant.
"The Ten Extremes Mountain is about to reopen. Why don't we make a bet?" Ling Ji crossed his arms lazily in front of his chest. Even his posture was more relaxed than before.
He turned to glance at Meng Qi, and continued to look at Yan Shunbei. "According to the agreement, the Ten Extremes Mountain will reopen once every hundred years. Each of the Ten Great Sects of the Four Realms can send one person to participate. However, only Insightful Emptiness Realm cultivators can enter."
"That's right." Yan Shunbei sat back in his seat.
His expression became calm again. Ling Ji no longer attacked Meng Qi. He also became that kind elder again. Even when facing Ling Ji, who seemed to have ill intentions, he was very kind.
"The Broken Space Sect wants him to participate?"
"That's right." Ling Ji said.
"Oh." Yan Shunbei nodded slightly. "According to the rules, the Ten Great Sects of the Four Realms should choose three disciples. Finally, before the Ten Extremes Mountain reopens, the strongest disciple will enter the Ten Extremes Mountain …"
"Right now, I have the final say in the Broken Space Sect." Before Yan Shunbei could finish, he was interrupted by Ling Ji.
He waved his hand and said carelessly, "Otherwise, what's the point of me working so hard to get the Sect Leader position?!"
Even Meng Qi could not help but smile. This Sect Leader Ling Ji was quite similar to Ji Wujiong.
Qiao Ran lowered his head. He did not dare to look at Yan Shunbei.
The Sect Leader position was snatched. Was it really okay to talk about this in front of the Sect Leaders of other sects?!
"Little girl, what are you laughing at?" Ling Ji's eyes were sharp. He still saw the smile that flashed across Meng Qi's face. "Do you think that I shouldn't have snatched the Sect Leader position?"
"How Senior does things has nothing to do with me." Meng Qi said politely.
"Heh —" Ling Ji flicked his sleeve and did not say anything more.
"Your Mirrormoon Sky can let three people enter. This little girl counts as one. You can also let two disciples enter. You have the advantage in numbers. However, I can still take this loss. Let's bet on whose disciple can climb higher when the Ten Extremes Mountain reopens. How about it? "Ling Ji said.
"Sure." Yan Shunbei replied indifferently.
"Then it's settled. After the Ten Extremes Mountain reopens, the one who climbs higher will be the winner." Ling Ji said. "Whoever wins, this little girl belongs to that person. The other person cannot interfere."
"Sure." Yan Shunbei nodded again.
"Senior." Meng Qi took a deep breath. He suddenly asked, "What if I'm the highest?"
"Hehe." Ling Ji chuckled. He turned to look at Meng Qi and sized her up. "What? Little girl, do you want to bet with me too?"
"Since the two seniors are using me as the wager, I'm destined to only be a part of it. If I'm just a wager, it's too miserable." Meng Qi's expression was calm. She looked at Ling Ji fearlessly.
She understood that if the Void Breaker Sect really wanted to find trouble with her, even if she had Ji Wujiong's help and a powerful expert like Ling Ji, she still wouldn't be able to avoid it.
Since the other party did not want to take her life right away, she could take the gamble.
"Sure." Ling Ji's eyes were smiling. He asked with interest, "What do you want to bet?"
"I hope that Senior's sect will not find trouble with me before I advance to the Insightful Emptiness Realm." Meng Qi said.
"Sure." Ling Ji did not even think about it. He nodded and agreed.
He agreed too quickly. Meng Qi felt a little uneasy.
The Void Breaker Sect was looking for her with great fanfare. Even the new Sect Master of the Void Breaker Sect came personally. Was he really so easy to talk to?
"Then it's a deal." Ling Ji looked at Meng Qi's suspicious face. He flicked his finger and a small sword the size of a palm appeared in front of him. "If you're still worried, this is for you."
Qiao Ran, who was standing beside him, looked up when he heard this. He suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air.
However, under the pressure of his master, he did not dare to say anything.
Then, Qiao Ran heard Ling Ji say, "We can let Sect Master Yan be the witness. I will seal this item with my Divine Sense. As long as you come out of the Ten Extremes Mountain and win against them, it will be yours."
After Ling Ji finished speaking, he tapped the small sword a few times with his finger.
The small sword was enveloped by a layer of clear light. Soon, it became dark again.
Ling Ji handed it to Meng Qi. The dark small sword was heavy in his hand. It did not look very eye-catching.
However, it looked ancient and seemed to have been around for a long time.
Meng Qi's heart skipped a beat. He grasped the small sword and nodded. Then, he put it into his own storage bag.
"Then this matter is settled. Everything will wait until they come down from the Ten Extremes Mountain." Ling Ji said, "I'll take my leave first."
"Brother Ling, why don't you stay in the sect? The Ten Extremes Mountain will be open soon." Yan Shunbei said.
"That's fine too." Ling Ji nodded. "I can't let you stay for free."
As he spoke, he threw out a small brocade bag. Yan Shunbei took it and looked at it. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly.
He had always been calm and collected, but now, he stood up and solemnly bowed to Ling Ji. "Thank you, Brother Ling."
Ling Ji only nodded slightly. Then, he turned and walked out of the hall.
Meng Qi watched him leave. He kept feeling that this Sect Master of the Broken Space Sect was a bit strange.
Soon, only the three of them were left in the hall.
Yan Shunbei held the brocade bag in his hand. He stood there in a daze. No one knew what he was thinking.
After a while, he came back to his senses and said to Meng Qi, "Little friend Meng Qi, about the Ten Extremes Mountain, if you …"
He paused at this point.
The Ten Extremes Mountain was too dangerous. However, Meng Qi was probably one of the medical cultivators in the three thousand worlds who had the most hope of saving his son.
"Sect Master Yan, I want to go." Meng Qi knew what he wanted to say. Her tone was firm. "Even if you don't let me go, I will think of a way to secretly enter the Ten Extremes Mountain."
She couldn't care so much now. She only wanted to become stronger as soon as possible.
As long as she could become stronger, she would dare to go to more dangerous places.
"Alright." Yan Shunbei said, "In that case, please stay in the sect. The Ten Extremes Mountain will be open at any time in ten days. No one knows what will happen after entering the Ten Extremes Mountain. However, I, Mirror Moon Heaven, have been the guardian of the Ten Extremes Mountain for ten thousand years. I will tell you everything I know. Besides … "
He pondered for a moment and said, "I have a small magic treasure here. I used it when I was in the Nascent Soul stage. I haven't used it for many years. Although it's not very useful, among the magic treasures that Nascent Soul cultivators can use, its defense is passable. I'll give it to you. "
As Yan Shunbei spoke, he gave the magic treasure to Meng Qi.
It was a small jade pendant in the shape of a crescent moon. It was slightly warm to the touch.
"You don't have to be so polite." Yan Shunbei saw that Meng Qi didn't accept it and said, "This thing is useless to me. Besides …"
He sighed lightly. "Although my son is destined to face this tribulation, I still hope that he can return to the ranks of cultivators."
"Then … thank you, Senior." Meng Qi put away the jade pendant and bowed to Yan Shunbei.
Soon, Mirror Moon Heaven disciples came to take Meng Qi and Yan Shunbei to the guest room to rest.
Along the way, Meng Qi didn't see any other Mirror Moon Heaven disciples. They continued to walk up the mountain path and soon arrived at the guest house.
It wasn't far from the hall where they met Yan Shunbei. The disciple who sent them here bowed and left quickly.
Yan Shunbei gave the two of them an independent courtyard. The decorations were quite elegant.
Meng Qi and Ji Wujiong sat facing each other in the courtyard.
She first took out the jade pendant Yan Shunbei gave her and looked at it for a moment, then took out the small sword Ling Ji gave her.
"What is this?" She asked Ji Wujiong.
"Hmph." Ji Wujiong glanced at the item and snorted lightly. "This Sect Master of Broken Space Sect is too arrogant. He thinks he's going to win for sure. He's willing to give this to you. No wonder people always say that Old Seven of the Broken Space Sect is terrifyingly arrogant. He's the most arrogant sword in the three thousand worlds. "
He paused and then said, "This is one of the tokens of the Broken Space Sect. Although it's not as good as the Sect Master Token, none of the sect's disciples will dare to do anything to you if you have it."
Meng Qi tilted her head slightly. "He's a Paradise Realm elite. If he really wants to deal with me, will Sect Master Yan fall out with him on the spot for me?"
"I'm afraid not." Ji Wujiong's expression darkened slightly.
"But he agreed to make a bet with me and even used such an important item as a token." Meng Qi rested her chin on her hand. "He's definitely not as simple as being arrogant."
"What are you trying to say?" Ji Wujiong looked at her.
"Anything is fine." Meng Qi put the small sword back into the brocade pouch. "So I'll definitely come out of the Ten Extremes Mountain and work hard to climb to the highest point."
As she spoke, she turned to look to the left.
From the courtyard they were in, they could see the Ten Extremes Mountain, which was located in the center of the Mirrormoon Sky Sect.
Meng Qi felt a little regretful. It was a pity that her Sky Beyond Heaven jade pendant was not with her. Otherwise, she could go to the library in Sky Beyond Heaven and maybe find some information about the Ten Extremes Mountain.
As she thought, she put the jade pendant Yan Shunbei gave her into her Storage Brocade Pouch and tidied up her own Storage Brocade Pouch.
'Eh?'
Meng Qi's expression changed slightly.
She suddenly took out a small jade pendant from her Storage Brocade Pouch and almost jumped up. "This … is my Sky Beyond Heaven jade pendant!"
