Chapter 7

Chapter 6: Fiancée (Part 2)

At the beginning, Li Qiyi was still very inexperienced. Even though he understood all the subtleties of the sword technique, his hands would still tremble when he wielded the sword, unable to meet the requirement of perfect precision.

However, Li Qiyi did not lose heart. He practiced the sword technique over and over again. As he repeatedly trained, he gradually became more proficient. In just one night, he practiced three hundred times, slowly mastering the essence of the sword technique. Gradually, his sword strikes became incredibly accurate!

Although Li Qiyi possessed countless memories and harbored numerous shocking secrets in his heart, his unwavering resolve made him realize that in this life, if he wanted to conquer the Immortal Demon Cave, he must work ten or even a hundred times harder than others. Otherwise, no matter how many resources he had, he would never be able to conquer the Immortal Demon Cave. In this world, no one understood the Immortal Demon Cave better than he did!

For three days, Li Qiyi did not leave his room, practicing the sword technique diligently in the courtyard. Li Qiyi also understood that this trip to the Nine Holy Demon Sect would be dangerous, and he needed to be well-prepared!

The three days passed quickly, and Li Qiyi set out for the Nine Holy Demon Sect! Besides Nan Huairen, who was responsible for delivering messages to Li Qiyi, there was also a Law Protector named Mo.

The Ancient Xianyan Sect had six elders, twelve law protectors, and thirty-six hall masters! Today, they were only sending one law protector to lead the delegation to the Nine Holy Demon Sect, a major sect, which was truly unacceptable.

"Only the three of us?" Before setting off, Li Qiyi looked at the meager group and said.

Law Protector Mo, who was leading the delegation, was a man of few words. He was also Nan Huairen's master. He glanced at Li Qiyi and didn't bother to say more.

Nan Huairen, on the other hand, was smooth-talking and adept at socializing. When Li Qiyi said this, he chuckled and said with a smile, "Senior Brother, the elders are all in seclusion for cultivation and do not plan to go."

Li Qiyi smiled and said calmly, "In seclusion for cultivation? They're afraid of losing face. Since I have no chance of passing the test, if they, as elders, were to appear personally, failure would be a minor issue, but they can't afford to lose face."

Caught off guard by Li Qiyi's words, Nan Huairen laughed awkwardly. Li Qiyi was right; Li Qiyi hadn't even entered the realm of cultivation, so how could he pass the Nine Holy Demon Sect's test? He would likely embarrass himself repeatedly.

For the six elders, Li Qiyi definitely wouldn't pass the test. To them, failure was a foregone conclusion, but they couldn't afford to lose face.

"Senior Brother, you're overthinking it," Nan Huairen chuckled and then said, "The Nine Holy Demon Sect is not very friendly towards us. The elders don't want to conflict with them, so they won't attend."

Li Qiyi smiled faintly and said, "The Nine Holy Demon Sect is nothing. The Ancient Xianyan Sect is not what it used to be. In the past, even the Nine Holy Sages would only pay homage to the Ancient Xianyan Sect."

At Li Qiyi's arrogant words, Law Protector Mo snorted coldly. He glanced at Li Qiyi and didn't bother to say more.

Nan Huairen laughed awkwardly, fearing that Li Qiyi would become more arrogant, and quickly changed the subject, introducing Li Qiyi to Law Protector Mo, "Senior Brother, this is my master, a law protector of our sect."

"Please take care of us on this journey, Law Protector Mo." Li Qiyi bowed, his manners graceful and composed.

Law Protector Mo glanced at Li Qiyi and didn't bother to say more. "Let's set off." He turned and walked away. As a law protector of the Ancient Xianyan Sect, Law Protector Mo was relatively old among the law protectors, with considerable cultivation, but unfortunately, he was a man of few words and not skilled in socializing, so his status in the Ancient Xianyan Sect was quite ordinary, not comparable to the other law protectors. Otherwise, such a difficult mission to the Nine Holy Demon Sect wouldn't have been assigned to him.

The higher-ups of the Ancient Xianyan Sect all knew that this trip to the Nine Holy Demon Sect would surely be embarrassing. Li Qiyi would definitely make a fool of himself and might even risk his life. This mission was destined to fail, so not only did the six elders avoid it, but even the other law protectors were unwilling to lead the delegation. In the end, the mission fell to Law Protector Mo.

Law Protector Mo knew this mission would be embarrassing. How could he be in a good mood? So he was even more taciturn, not even bothering to speak.

Law Protector Mo led Li Qiyi and Nan Huairen to the Dao Platform of the Ancient Xianyan Sect. The Dao Platform was enormous, capable of accommodating ten thousand people. Such a massive platform was truly awe-inspiring. In the Central Domain, few sects could possess such a large Dao Platform.

The Dao Platform was ancient, constructed with divine stones and inscribed with the texts of Immortal Emperors, exuding a grand and profound aura. Each chapter of the Immortal Emperor's text could erase time and space! Just the Dao Platform alone was enough to show the foundation of the Ancient Xianyan Sect!

This Dao Platform was personally crafted by Immortal Emperor Mingren in the past. It had once been used by Immortal Emperor Mingren to launch expeditions across the eight wildernesses and span nine realms! Such a Dao Platform was rare in the Central Domain, perhaps only possessed by the Imperial Sects!

With a "hum," as the Dao Platform was activated by the disciples of the Ancient Xianyan Sect, a massive Dao Gate rose within the platform. The Dao Gate was made of divine metal and inscribed with profound Imperial texts! The gate had rows of slots, used to embed essence walls.

Essence walls were crystalline stones condensed from the essence of heaven and earth, with great uses, one of which was to activate the Dao Gate and cross spatial domains. The more essence walls, the higher the grade, and the farther the spatial domain that could be crossed.

Unfortunately, now, only a few slots in the Dao Gate had essence walls embedded, and the grade of the essence walls was limited!

Seeing this, Li Qiyi sighed softly in his heart. The Ancient Xianyan Sect had indeed declined. In the past, this Dao Gate was fully embedded with essence walls from the Immortal Land! This Dao Gate could once span nine realms, allowing one to reach any destination with detailed coordinates!

"Go!" Law Protector Mo led Li Qiyi and Nan Huairen into the Dao Gate, and they were instantly teleported away!

The Central Domain was vast, spanning tens of thousands of miles. In the Central Domain, there were countless sects and even dozens of territories. Even territories, upper realms, and ancient realms were vast, spanning thousands or even tens of thousands of miles.

Therefore, to cross territories, one had to be a True Human or Holy Emperor. Otherwise, even powerful kings and nobles would have to fly for a long time. Moreover, the Central Domain was just a part of the Human Emperor Realm.

The Human Emperor Realm, also known as the Imperial Realm or Imperial Territory, had oceans to the north, red deserts to the south, a hundred cities to the east, and wildlands to the west, with the Central Domain in the middle!

To cross territories or realms, flying was not enough; one had to use the Dao Gate to cross spatial domains. Of course, not many sects possessed Dao Gates capable of crossing realms, and such sects were usually dominant in their territories.

With a "hum," in the blink of an eye, Li Qiyi and the others were teleported to the Nine Holy Demon Sect, emerging from the Dao Gate.

As soon as they stepped out of the Dao Gate, both Law Protector Mo and Li Qiyi immediately felt the dense and indissoluble essence of heaven and earth. Looking around, they saw a scene of immortal beauty!

The territory of the Nine Holy Demon Sect was vast, spanning thousands of miles, with majestic mountains and rivers. There were waterfalls hanging in the air, divine trees reaching the sky, and ancient palaces floating in the clouds. In the deepest part of the territory, divine light shot into the sky, indicating the presence of astonishing treasures!

In the Nine Holy Demon Sect, there were longevity essences entering and exiting the misty caves, swallowing and exhaling mist, and celestial beasts soaring in the sky, with the aura of the wildlands rolling through the clouds!

This was the grandeur of a major sect. No wonder it could lead the territories! Compared to the Ancient Xianyan Sect, the Ancient Xianyan Sect seemed like a withering, dying old man, unable to compare.

Seeing such grandeur, both Law Protector Mo and Nan Huairen were momentarily stunned. They had been to the Nine Holy Demon Sect before, but seeing its grandeur, they felt a sense of melancholy. In the past, even a behemoth like the Nine Holy Demon Sect had to pay homage to the Ancient Xianyan Sect!

Unfortunately, the glory of the past was gone. Today, the Ancient Xianyan Sect had declined and even had to rely on the Nine Holy Demon Sect!

"Ah, it's Brother Mo. Brother Mo, it's been a long time." When Law Protector Mo and the others descended from the Dao Platform, an old man and a disciple from the Nine Holy Demon Sect were already there to welcome them.

The matter of the test had been communicated between the Ancient Xianyan Sect and the Nine Holy Demon Sect, so the Nine Holy Demon Sect was well-prepared.

The one welcoming them was a hall master of the Nine Holy Demon Sect, surnamed Fu. This hall master had a cold and stern face, making it hard for him to smile. He was enveloped in a glow of treasure, with his eyes emitting terrifying cold light, each ray of which was substantial and chilling.

"Thank you, Brother Fu. It's an honor to have you personally welcome us," Law Protector Mo said with a bow, his demeanor noticeably inferior to the other.

There was no way around it. Although Hall Master Fu was just a hall master, the glow of treasure around him indicated that he had the strength of a powerful hero. In the Ancient Xianyan Sect, only elders had the strength to be called heroes, while a hall master of the other side already possessed such strength.

Law Protector Mo said to Hall Master Fu, "Brother Fu, we are here for the test."

Hall Master Fu managed a forced smile and said, "The elders have already given instructions." He glanced at Li Qiyi and then ignored him, saying, "This is your sect's chief disciple, right?"

"Yes, Li Qiyi is our Ancient Xianyan Sect's chief disciple," Law Protector Mo said with a forced smile, feeling helpless. Li Qiyi's qualifications were not something to be proud of.

"The test is just a friendly exchange," Hall Master Fu said with a forced smile, "Brother Mo, you don't need to force yourself." In his eyes, Li Qiyi was just an ant.

"The test is nothing," Li Qiyi said calmly, not bothering to look at Hall Master Fu.

Hall Master Fu snorted coldly, ignoring Li Qiyi, and said to Law Protector Mo, "Please follow me, Brother Mo." To him, speaking to a junior like Li Qiyi would be beneath his dignity.

Law Protector Mo couldn't help but glare at Li Qiyi!
