Lin Xuan held the hemp rope and began to tie knots in a very unique way. It was dazzling and dizzying.
A moment later, the hemp rope had been tied into a ball, and then it turned into powder and fell to the ground.
Lin Xuan raised his head and looked at the sky in the north, then at the mountains in the west. He frowned slightly.
"The Dragons clan and the Sword Maste?"
He had divined the source of the disaster with the method of knot divination earlier. In the end, he came to the conclusion that it was the Dragons clan and the Sword Maste.
"Hehe, the tree wants to be quiet, but the wind won't stop. I was planning to rest for a few days, but since you don't want me to have an easy time, then none of you will have an easy time!"
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a deep, cold smile. The upper echelons of the Taiyi Sect around him couldn't help but shiver.
In the following days, Lin Xuan didn't participate too much in the government affairs of the Taiyi Sect.
Ever since the Taiyi Sect was divided into thirteen palaces, the responsibilities of each palace were clear, the rules were perfect, and the rewards and punishments were clear. The efficiency of the operation was a hundred times higher than before. Even without him, the sect master, participating, the operation could continue as usual. He and his clone only needed to control the overall situation.
Lin Xuan had long made up his mind to gradually reduce his interference with the Taiyi Sect in the future.
The Taiyi Sect would be divided into two parts in the future, the imperial court and the sect. From the secular world and the martial arts world, the mortals and martial artists in the Taiyi Sect's territory would all be under his rule.
In the future, he would gradually delegate his power. He would merge with the Taiyi Saint King and become the only god of the Taiyi Sect, receiving the faith and worship of billions of believers.
Of course, now was not the time.
The Taiyi Sect was at a critical moment in its struggle for hegemony in Qiannan. Not only did it have to be wary of the local forces in Qiannan, but it also had to be wary of the spying and harassment of the super sects and even the foreign races.
Only when the situation stabilized could he consider major changes.
Next, he went to the Thousand Treasure Palace.
The Thousand Treasure Palace was the treasure trove of the Divine Lotus Sect. It contained countless treasures and all kinds of cultivation resources.
Lin Xuan roughly looked around and didn't find any treasures that he could use.
However, he wasn't disappointed.
The current him did not lack treasures for the time being. What he lacked was time.
He needed a large amount of time to digest what he had gained over the years, and to turn his opportunities into strength.
He checked the space in his ring. He took out some of the things he didn't need in the past half a year in the Human Emperor Secret Realm and threw them all in the Thousand Treasure Palace.
Looking at the mountain of treasures, the upper echelons of the Daoyi Sect could not help but be dumbfounded.
Within the resplendent light, one could see priceless Dao Tools, high-grade Spirit Pills, high-grade Spirit Talismans, and all sorts of high-grade materials casually piled up together. Everyone was dazzled by the sight, and their saliva was about to drip out.
Of course, these treasures were not awarded to anyone. Instead, they were placed in the Ten Thousand Treasure Palace of the Greater One Sect. Any Daoist of the Greater One Sect could exchange for them with their contribution points.
Most of the treasures that Lin Xuan took out were from the disciples of the Ji family. Each of them was very valuable. There were even many good things that were rarely seen on the market in hundreds of years. They couldn't be bought with Primordial Stones, nor could they be exchanged with treasures.
The most precious one was a crimson halberd called the Chongyang Halberd, which was obtained from Ji Yanyang. It was a supreme-grade Divine Weapon of the fire element. Its terrifying aura made people with low cultivation dare not approach it.
In addition, there were four high-grade Dao Tools, and as many as ninety middle-grade and low-grade Dao Tools. All kinds of Qi intersected and shone brightly, dazzling the entire hall.
Now that these treasures were all in the Thousand Treasure Palace, it immediately made the entire Daoist Sect boil. Everyone rushed into the Thousand Treasure Palace to exchange for the treasures they wanted.
Even some people who were carrying out missions outside took the transmission formation back to the headquarters and joined the scrambling army.
After leaving the Thousand Treasure Palace, Lin Xuan came to the main peak of the Greater One Sacred Mountain and stood on a high platform.
In the fierce wind, he looked down at the countless Daoists coming and going around the sacred mountain, as well as the majestic Greater One City that connected the sky further away. He couldn't help but sigh.
Unknowingly, the human target of the Golden Arrow Academy had reached such a height and become an overlord who could summon the wind and summon the rain.
He opened his arms, and wisps of faith power gathered from all directions and entered his body like rivers flowing into the sea, causing his cultivation to increase at all times.
He let out a long sigh of relief. He was filled with lofty sentiments, and his heart surged.
He didn't know when it started, but he had already left the initial stage of struggling on the line of life and death for survival, and also left the stage of being a Heaven's Pride that could die at any time.
He had transformed into an expert between heaven and earth, becoming a world overlord who controlled the fate of hundreds of millions of people.
In the future, he would also step into a higher level of martial arts competition, only to pursue the supreme Dao and climb to the top of the strong.
"Sect Master, I have something to report." Elder Li Futao cupped his hands and said.
"What's the matter?" Lin Xuan asked indifferently.
Li Futao said with a solemn expression, "Sect Master, we've received news that Sword Maste sent out eight hundred invitations for famous swords to various sects and clans in the martial arts world three days ago, inviting all the major forces in the world to participate in the Sword Tasting Assembly at the Heavenly Sword Tower in Yu Province's Imperial Heaven City. The assembly will be held on the ninth of next month. Basically, all the first-rate sects and clans in the world have been invited. "
"What's this Sword Tasting Assembly for?" Lin Xuan asked.
Li Futao was stunned for a moment, but then he remembered that this sect master was only a young man, so it made sense that he hadn't heard of the Sword Tasting Assembly.
He hurriedly explained, "The Sword Tasting Assembly is a grand meeting of the martial arts world hosted by Sword Maste. It has a history of three thousand years since the first one, and it's held once every thirty to fifty years.
When the time comes, Sword Maste will take out some of the rarely seen high-grade Daoist swords for the participants to appraise and bid.
At the same time, the Sword Tasting Assembly is also one of the best trade gatherings in the world. Many rare treasures have appeared in the past, attracting the attention of countless experts in the world.
Of course, the Sword Tasting Assembly doesn't stop there. When the leaders of the major forces in the world gather, they'll also take the opportunity to settle some major disputes in the martial arts world and establish order in the martial arts world, thus ensuring the stable and orderly development of the martial arts world. "
"This Sword Tasting Assembly seems to be quite useful," Lin Xuan said thoughtfully.
"The Sword Tasting Assembly is indeed quite useful, but …"
Li Futao wanted to say something, but hesitated, his expression somewhat ugly.
"Elder Li, if you have something to say, just say it. What's the matter?" Lin Xuan asked.
Li Futao said somewhat indignantly, "What's infuriating is that the Sword Maste actually didn't invite our Ultimate One Sect to the Sword Tasting Assembly this time! This is clearly looking down on our Ultimate One Sect! "
Lin Xuan said, "Could it be that the invitations are still on the way because there's not enough time?"
"That's absolutely impossible!"
Li Futao said, "The invitations sent out by the Sword Maste are sent out by a Sword Maste expert using the Secret Sword of Void. It only takes a few dozen breaths for it to spread throughout the world.
It's said that from the time the first sword was sent out to the time the last sword was sent out, it took less than two hours.
However, three days have already passed, and we still haven't received any invitations. It's obviously impossible to receive any more. "
Hearing this, Lin Xuan frowned slightly.
The Sword Maste held a Sword Tasting Assembly but excluded the Ultimate One Sect. This was indeed not a good sign.
Although the martial arts world in the Realm of True Force was flourishing, it had never been able to form an authoritative martial arts world alliance. This was also the result of the mutual compromise between the martial arts world and the Daqian dynasty.
However, the Sword Maste had always had the closest relationship with the Daqian dynasty. They faintly considered themselves the leader of all the sects in the world.
Even the super forces like the Demon Refining Lake, Infernal Purgatory, and Dark Hall had to be somewhat wary of them.
It was also because of this that the Sword Maste's Sword Tasting Assembly was very valuable.
Over the years, the Sword Tasting Assembly had gradually become a gathering for the major forces to divide their territories and share the world's benefits.
Now that the world was in chaos, the Sword Maste suddenly wanted to hold a Sword Tasting Assembly. It was very likely that they wanted to gather all the major forces and reshuffle the world.
However, the Ultimate One Sect was not invited to such a gathering. Obviously, the Sword Maste did not intend to acknowledge the Ultimate One Sect's position. It was even possible that they would call on all the major forces in the world during the Sword Tasting Assembly to deal with the Ultimate One Sect ruthlessly.
This also corresponded with the results of Lin Xuan's knot divination earlier.
Li Futao said, "Daoist Master, even several quasi first-rate sects in Qiannan have received the famous sword invitations, but our Ultimate One Sect hasn't. I'm worried that the Sword Tomb Society will do something unfavorable to our Ultimate One Sect during the sword tasting conference. I hope Daoist Master can make plans as soon as possible."
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, then smiled faintly. "Elder Li, you don't need to worry too much. Perhaps things aren't as bad as you think.
The Sword Maste is no longer the Sword Maste of the past. In addition, they have lost the support of the Daqian dynasty, so their influence is no longer what it used to be. Our Ultimate One Sect is not a pushover either!
You go do your work first. This seat will think about how to deal with this. "
"Yes, this subordinate will take his leave!"
Li Futao bowed and retreated.
Lin Xuan raised his head to look at the distant sky, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.
"The Sword Tasting Assembly will begin on the ninth of next month. There's less than half a month left. Coupled with the threat of the Dragons clan, it's really an eventful time! It seems that I'll have to think about it carefully. "
"The Ultimate One Sect's forces are currently scattered, and they're in the critical phase of annexing the three dynasties. The people left behind at the headquarters will probably have a hard time dealing with the Dragons clan. It seems that I, the Sect Master, will have to personally take action. Sigh, could it be that I was born to be a busy man? "Lin Xuan bitterly shook his head with a smile.
There were only two reasons why the Dragons clan had their eyes on the Ultimate One Sect. The first was the rank 5 dragon egg known as the son of the Dragon God, and the second was the Dragon Emperor's Golden Book.
However, Lin Xuan had hidden the rank 5 dragon egg rather well. The Dragons clan might not necessarily find him. It was more likely that they were after the Dragon Emperor's Golden Book.
Lin Xuan pondered for a while. His lips gradually curled into a playful sneer. He had thought of a seemingly good idea.
However, it was a rather sinister idea.
"Men!" Lin Xuan said.
"Sect Master, what are your orders?" Shen Lang, the vice commander of the divine guards, stepped forward and bowed.
"Have Wu Huan arrange for people to keep an eye on the Dragons clan's movements at all times!" Lin Xuan ordered.
"Understood! This subordinate will do so right away! "
Shen Lang accepted the order and left.
Wu Huan was in charge of the Dark Shadow Palace. He was mainly responsible for gathering intelligence. It was said that this guy had already expanded the spies of the Ultimate One Sect to the four Desolate Lands. It should be no problem for him to keep an eye on the Dragons clan's movements.
Lin Xuan returned to the Illusory Demon Orb and enjoyed a sumptuous banquet with Yin Xueqiao and Zhao Yanran.
