Chapter 22: The Holy Cave (Part 2)

Indeed, the Ninth Sage was originally a mountain pheasant that had cultivated and became one of the most powerful sages of his era. He once swept through the eight wildernesses, displaying his power and arrogance. However, he ultimately fell to Li Qiyi and agreed to leave his seclusion to protect the path of the Mingren Immortal Emperor!

"Heavenly Demon, Only Me" was the slogan of the Ninth Sage. "A Ground of Chicken Feathers" was a mocking phrase used by Li Qiyi at the time. The secret behind this, the world did not know!

Such an outrageous scene made it hard for the elders of the Ninth Sage Demon Sect to believe. The successive patriarchs and geniuses of the Ninth Sage Demon Sect had always pondered the ultimate meaning of "Heavenly Demon, Only Me," but they never expected that the ultimate meaning was "A Ground of Chicken Feathers"!

Li Qiyi called their ancestor a chicken spirit, which was a great disrespect. However, now, as the elders thought about it carefully, there was indeed some truth to it. Their ancestor, the Ninth Sage, was indeed a mountain pheasant that had achieved the Dao!

"See what good things your ancestor left for you." Li Qiyi smiled leisurely and entered the Holy Cave without caring about the reactions of the elders of the Ninth Sage Demon Sect.

The elders of the Ninth Sage Demon Sect came to their senses and immediately followed him into the Holy Cave!

Inside the Holy Cave, there was only one treasure chamber. As soon as they stepped into the treasure chamber, divine light surged, and immortal radiance spread, making the chamber shine brilliantly, dazzling the eyes.

In the treasure chamber, there were hanging treasures, hidden immortal iron, divine stones, and ancient boxes containing treasure manuals... The colorful light inside the chamber made everyone feel lost.

"The old chicken spirit has quite a lot of treasures." Li Qiyi scanned the room and muttered. The Ninth Sage was indeed one of the strongest sages of his time, and the treasures he collected in his life were truly astonishing.

"What did you say?" The Great Elder, who was closest to Li Qiyi, couldn't help but ask.

Li Qiyi shook his head and said, "Nothing, just talking to myself." His words made the Great Elder look at Li Qiyi with suspicion. He felt that this thirteen-year-old boy was too strange!

"Purple Dragon Twin Swords—" An elder saw the various treasures floating in the chamber and couldn't help but be momentarily lost in thought: "Demon Extermination Tower, Nine Star River Dipper, Holy Sky Wooden Boat... These are all the treasures recorded in the sect!"

"This, this is the ancient secret of Green Wood..." Another elder saw the manuals on the bookshelf in the chamber and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

At this moment, the elders of the Ninth Sage Demon Sect were all momentarily lost in thought. It seemed that their ancestor had only passed down half of his treasures and techniques!

In fact, the Ninth Sage had many treasures. Besides what he had collected in his life, after the Mingren Immortal Emperor took on the heavenly mandate, he also bestowed many treasures upon him for his contributions to protecting the path.

"Imperial Treasure!" At this moment, the Great Elder's gaze fell on a jade table in the center of the treasure chamber. On the jade table was an ancient box, which, though locked, could not contain the imperial aura emanating from within.

Although the imperial treasure inside only revealed a wisp of imperial aura, that wisp was as high as the sky. When the wisp escaped, it felt like the heavens were pressing down, the heavenly mandate was floating, and all the realms were converging. All living beings bowed to this wisp of imperial aura!

"Imperial Treasure—" At this moment, the elders of the Ninth Sage Demon Sect shivered in their hearts, extremely excited! The Imperial Treasure, left by the Immortal Emperor, was personally crafted by the Mingren Immortal Emperor!

"Do not forget, I will take one treasure first." At this moment, as the elders of the Ninth Sage Demon Sect were excited, Li Qiyi said leisurely. His words were like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads.

The elders of the Ninth Sage Demon Sect all stared at Li Qiyi with fiery eyes. If Li Qiyi really chose the Imperial Treasure, they would not be disappointed.

Li Qiyi stood there calmly, unafraid of the Ninth Sage Demon Sect's betrayal. Even if all the elders of the Ninth Sage Demon Sect were present, he remained calm.

Finally, the Great Elder took a deep breath and said, "The Ninth Sage Demon Sect keeps its word. Since our emperor has promised, the Ninth Sage Demon Sect will not go back on its word!" As he spoke, his voice was bitter. This was the Imperial Treasure, but the Lunri Demon Emperor had spoken, and they could not go back on their word!

"You still have some courage." Li Qiyi remained calm and said slowly, "I have some admiration for your Lunri Demon Emperor."

Li Qiyi's arrogant words left the elders of the Ninth Sage Demon Sect speechless. Their demon emperor was a generation of genius, with unparalleled talent. Even if one looked at the entire imperial domain, their Lunri Demon Emperor was a remarkable figure.

Today, a thirteen-year-old boy actually spoke of admiring their demon emperor, which would make anyone laugh if they heard it.

The elders of the Ninth Sage Demon Sect were not unfamiliar with Li Qiyi's arrogance. For his arrogant words, they could only be speechless.

"Clap—Clap—Clap—" As the elders of the Ninth Sage Demon Sect were speechless, Li Qiyi clapped three times. His claps made an ancient box fly into his hands.

Li Qiyi didn't even look at the box again, putting it into his chest and said casually, "It's just an Imperial Treasure, no need to be so nervous." After saying that, he turned and left.

For a moment, the elders of the Ninth Sage Demon Sect were at a loss. They had two reasons for their confusion: one, Li Qiyi clapped three times, and the box flew into his hands, which was too strange; two, in Li Qiyi's words, the Imperial Treasure seemed less important. Anyone with a bit of knowledge knew what the Imperial Treasure meant, but Li Qiyi spoke of it so casually, which was too arrogant!

When the elders of the Ninth Sage Demon Sect came to their senses, Li Qiyi had already left. After they came to their senses, they hurriedly cataloged the treasures and ancient secrets in the chamber, storing the treasures and divine metals in the Ninth Sage Demon Sect's treasury...

When the elders of the Ninth Sage Demon Sect finished everything, it was already three days later. During these three days, the Ninth Sage Demon Sect treated Li Qiyi and his two companions with the highest规格.

Three days later, Yu He came again to invite Li Qiyi. As the chief great protector, Yu He once again carried Li Qiyi to the Heavenly Palace. Yu He, who could be ennobled as a king, had become a mere laborer today, but he had no complaints. Today, he understood the importance of Li Qiyi to the Ninth Sage Demon Sect.

In the Heavenly Palace, all the elders of the Ninth Sage Demon Sect were present, but the Lunri Demon Emperor still did not show his face. Today, the elders of the Ninth Sage Demon Sect looked at Li Qiyi with strange eyes. They could only say it was too strange!

When Li Qiyi sat down, the voice of the Lunri Demon Emperor sounded again, "I am in seclusion and cannot meet Mr. Li, which is truly regrettable."

The Lunri Demon Emperor, what kind of person was he? In the present world, he was a generation of overlord who dominated the central domain. Today, he spoke so politely to a thirteen-year-old boy, which, if it were known, would shock the entire imperial domain!

"The future is long, no need to rush." Even facing a generation of demon emperor, Li Qiyi remained calm and sat there leisurely, without any sign of nervousness.

The Lunri Demon Emperor was silent for a long time before his voice sounded again, "How about Mr. Li staying with the Ninth Sage Demon Sect? The Xianyan Ancient Sect can offer what the Ninth Sage Demon Sect can also offer!"

When the Lunri Demon Emperor said this, the elders of the Ninth Sage Demon Sect remained calm. Undoubtedly, the Lunri Demon Emperor had already discussed this matter with the elders.

The words of the Lunri Demon Emperor made Li Qiyi pause for a moment. Undoubtedly, compared to the Xianyan Ancient Sect, the Ninth Sage Demon Sect had more advantages. Today, the Ninth Sage Demon Sect was much stronger than the Xianyan Ancient Sect! For any cultivator, especially the younger generation, if they had to choose between the Ninth Sage Demon Sect and the Xianyan Ancient Sect, they would definitely choose the Ninth Sage Demon Sect.

Finally, Li Qiyi smiled and gently shook his head, saying, "I thank the demon emperor for his kindness. I have a connection with the Xianyan Ancient Sect. Since I am the chief disciple of the Xianyan Ancient Sect, I will be a disciple of the Xianyan Ancient Sect for life!"

Li Qiyi had deep feelings for the Xianyan Ancient Sect. Although he later did not favor the successive patriarchs of the Xianyan Ancient Sect, especially the eldest disciple of the Mingren Immortal Emperor, and he never returned to the Xianyan Ancient Sect after the Mingren Immortal Emperor left, it was ultimately built by him!

Although today the Ninth Sage Demon Sect was much stronger than the Xianyan Ancient Sect, there were advantages and disadvantages between the two. Moreover, he did not care about rebuilding the Xianyan Ancient Sect!

He did not choose to stay in the Zhen Tianhai City, and he would not choose to stay in the Ninth Sage Demon Sect. He chose the Xianyan Ancient Sect for a reason.

"Hmph, a mere Xianyan Ancient Sect, how can it compare to our Ninth Sage Demon Sect!" An elder was dissatisfied and coldly snorted!

Indeed, it was not surprising that the elders of the Ninth Sage Demon Sect were dissatisfied. Today, the Ninth Sage Demon Sect ruled the ancient Niujiang country, commanded hundreds of sects, and ennobled kings. Many people wanted to join the Ninth Sage Demon Sect. Today, their Lunri Demon Emperor personally invited Li Qiyi, but Li Qiyi did not stay, which was too disrespectful.

In response to the words of the elder of the Ninth Sage Demon Sect, Li Qiyi only curled his lips and said calmly, "A true strong person does not care about the strength of the sect. True invincibility does not care about the origin, whether from a noble or a commoner!"

These words left the elders of the Ninth Sage Demon Sect momentarily speechless. His calm words and calm tone spoke the most domineering and confident words!

However, these words came from a thirteen-year-old boy, but Li Qiyi's calmness and composure were not those of a madman or a fool!
