Chapter 60

In the sky, a rift in space opened, and two men stepped out.

These two were familiar to Ye Tianming; they were Li Zheng from the Li family, whom he had met at the Extraordinary Holy Land, and Gu Qi from the Piaran Civilization.

Seeing the two, Ye Tianming was somewhat surprised.

The two approached Ye Tianming and his group, and Li Zheng smiled, "Brother Ye, we meet again."

Ye Tianming was somewhat surprised, "Brother Li, Brother Gu, you?"

Li Zheng said, "It's Sister Zhao who sent us to pick you up."

Nanling Zhao!

Ye Tianming felt a warm feeling in his heart, "Then I'll trouble the two of you."

Li Zheng smiled, "Let's go!"

As he was about to leave, he suddenly looked at Mu Guanchen, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Are you Senior Mu?"

Mu Guanchen smiled, "Are you a descendant of the Li family?"

Li Zheng nodded, "Yes."

Mu Guanchen nodded slightly, saying nothing.

Ye Tianming was somewhat curious; this Brother Li actually knew his teacher?

Li Zheng's expression was complicated, and he didn't say much more. The group left the academy and headed for the Guanxuan World.

On the way.

Ye Tianming walked beside Li Zheng, "Brother Li, do you know my teacher?"

Li Zheng nodded slightly, "Senior Mu had a relationship with one of my clan's elders... but it's all in the past."

He looked at Ye Tianming, "It seems you don't know much about your teacher."

Ye Tianming nodded, "Indeed, I don't know much."

Li Zheng said, "Your teacher was extremely talented in his youth, surpassing the entire Guanxuan Universe, no, the entire universe. He passed the Guanxuan Dao at the age of ten and entered the Inner Cabinet at twelve, becoming the youngest member in history. But for some reason, he suddenly dispelled all his cultivation and resigned from his position in the Inner Cabinet..."

"Ah!"

Ye Tianming was shocked, "My teacher dispelled all his cultivation?"

Li Zheng nodded slightly, "Yes, he was originally engaged to my aunt, but because of this, it directly led to... well, over the past hundred years, everyone has almost forgotten about him."

Ye Tianming was extremely puzzled, why did his teacher dispel his cultivation?

Li Zheng suddenly said, "I heard that Xiao Beizhan from the Xiao family died."

He turned to look at Ye Tianming, "We received the news that Xiao Beizhan came to the Guanxuan Academy in Central China."

Ye Tianming said, "I killed him."

Li Zheng laughed, not surprised.

Gu Qi suddenly said, "Brother Ye, are you at the Peak of Perfection realm now?"

Ye Tianming nodded, "Yes."

Gu Qi stared at him, "But according to what I know, Xiao Beizhan was at the Time Immortal realm."

Ye Tianming said, "He was indeed killed by me."

Gu Qi said, "I'm not doubting you, but I think... this is a bit too outrageous."

Li Zheng also nodded, "Indeed, it's a bit too outrageous."

For someone at the Peak of Perfection realm to kill someone at the Time Immortal realm, is this something a person can do?

It's too outrageous.

Gu Qi said, "The Xiao family won't let you off."

Ye Tianming nodded, "I know."

Gu Qi smiled, "Brother Ye, you don't need to worry too much. Although the Xiao family has influence, they can't control the sky of the Guanxuan Universe."

Ye Tianming looked at the two and smiled, "Brother Li, Brother Gu, are you here to participate in the Guanxuan Debate Competition?"

"You're giving me too much credit."

Gu Qi shook his head, "Although I've read a few books, I don't have the qualifications to participate in such a debate competition."

Li Zheng also said, "Neither of us is good at this. This time, only Lady Nanling Zhao is representing us in the competition."

Nanling Zhao!

Ye Tianming's mind conjured up a beautiful face, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

Li Zheng suddenly said, "I heard that there is a special guest participating in this debate competition."

Ye Tianming looked at Li Zheng, somewhat puzzled, "A special guest?"

Li Zheng nodded, "His identity is extremely mysterious, even my Li family couldn't find out."

He looked at Gu Qi, who shook his head, "If your Li family couldn't find out, my Gu family certainly couldn't either."

Li Zheng said, "I received the news that this time, the Inner Cabinet and the Literary Academy's stance is that the first place must remain in our Guanxuan Universe."

Ye Tianming was curious, "Is the special guest not from the Guanxuan Universe?"

Li Zheng shook his head, "No, originally, the Guanxuan Sword Master and the major epochs united to fight against the True World. At that time, the Guanxuan Sword Master had the power to incorporate the major epochs into the Guanxuan Universe, but for some reason, he didn't do it. Therefore, the major epochs are now independent and have no connection with the Guanxuan Universe."

Gu Qi said, "Not only do they have no connection, but over the years, the relationship between the major epochs and the Guanxuan Universe has not been good, especially among the younger generation. There are often conflicts, and they look down on us, and we look down on them. So, every time there is a cosmic competition, it is very intense."

Ye Tianming nodded, "I understand."

Li Zheng said, "This time, the geniuses from the Third Epoch and the mysterious genius are coming here, saying it's for an exchange, but it's actually for the Guanxuan Debate Competition. If they win first place, our Guanxuan Universe will lose face."

Gu Qi laughed, "This time it's a literary competition, which has nothing to do with us. It's the Literary Academy and those bookworms' business. They are usually so proud, looking down on us as commoners. If they don't win first place this time, I'll chase them around and mock them every day."

Li Zheng shook his head and smiled, "Brother Gu, you can't think like that. If they lose, it's not just their face that will be lost, but the entire Guanxuan Universe's face."

Gu Qi said, "That's true. Damn, if we lose on our home turf, we'll be laughed at by those guys in the future."

Li Zheng nodded, "This time, it's about the reputation of our Guanxuan Universe. Therefore, the academy is paying extra attention. They have not only greatly increased the prize for first place but also sent the youngest member of the Inner Cabinet in history, Song Zhishu, and An Yan from the White Robe Pavilion."

Ye Tianming was immediately curious, "An Yan?"

Li Zheng smiled, "He's from Qingzhou. Do you know him?"

Ye Tianming nodded, "Yes, I know him."

Li Zheng said, "Your friend is no ordinary person. In the recent Guanxuan Exam, he topped the list and was promoted to the White Robe Pavilion... You might not know about the White Robe Pavilion. It is the personal secretary and think tank of the Young Master. Although they have no real power, they can influence many things in the Guanxuan Academy and are important candidates for future members of the Inner Cabinet."

Ye Tianming smiled, "An Yan is doing well."

Li Zheng said, "In addition, the personal disciples of the deans of the major academies, as long as they are bookworms, will all participate this time. In short, we must not let the first place be taken by someone from another universe, especially now, as the Young Master is about to come of age and take charge. If something like this happens now, it would be very detrimental to the Young Master."

At this point, his expression turned somewhat gloomy, "This time, the Third Epoch and the mysterious person suddenly want to participate in the debate competition, possibly because the Young Master is about to take charge."

As they were talking, they arrived at the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.

Because of Li Zheng and Gu Qi, the people of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion did not make things difficult for Ye Tianming, who had already been blacklisted.

Two hours later, they arrived at the Guanxuan World.

As soon as they entered the Guanxuan World, Ye Tianming could feel the difference here. The spiritual energy here was very abundant, far surpassing that of Qingzhou and Central China.

Song Shi suddenly said, "Kid, you and your senior sister go stay at the Immortal Treasure Pavilion. I'll go see an old friend."

Ye Tianming said, "Okay."

Song Shi looked at Li Zheng, who smiled, "Senior, rest assured. My Li family will protect you from the Xiao family."

Song Shi nodded, "Thank you."

With that, he turned and disappeared.

Li Zheng said, "Let's go to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion."

Soon, the group arrived at the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, which was nearly ten thousand feet tall, reaching into the starry sky, making it the most spectacular building in the entire Guanxuan City. Nineteen floors were residential.

Li Zheng and Gu Qi led Ye Tianming and Fucang to the nineteenth floor. Walking down the corridor, the view of the floating clouds outside the window was quite spectacular.

Ye Tianming had never seen such a scene before and was amazed.

Li Zheng smiled, "I heard that the top floor, the 'Milky Way Room,' is even more spectacular. Not only can you see the starry sky, but there are also artificial meteor showers, truly beautiful."

Ye Tianming asked, "Can we go see it?"

Li Zheng shook his head, "No."

Ye Tianming asked, "Why not?"

Li Zheng smiled, "Brother Ye, you might not know, but the 'Milky Way Room' is the most special place in the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, reserved for the Pavilion Master. Only the founder Qin Pavilion Master, the Guanxuan Sword Master, and the Young Master have the right to enter. Although they rarely come, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion will always keep it."

Ye Tianming nodded, "I understand. It's about status. Once you reach a certain status, you naturally gain some privileges, even if you don't value them, these privileges will always exist because of your status."

Gu Qi said solemnly, "Brother Ye, be careful with your words here. I mean no harm, but sometimes a single word can bring trouble."

Li Zheng said, "Brother Gu, our Guanxuan Universe is still open-minded, but it's better to be cautious."

He looked at Ye Tianming and Fucang and smiled, "Brother Ye, Miss Fu, these two rooms are yours. Rest tonight, and we'll come pick you up to go to the academy the day after tomorrow."

Ye Tianming smiled, "Thank you."

Li Zheng said, "You're welcome."

After Li Zheng and Gu Qi left, Ye Tianming turned to look at Fucang, who stared at him without speaking.

Ye Tianming said, "Are you hungry?"

Fucang nodded.

Ye Tianming said, "You rest first, I'll go get you something to eat."

Fucang nodded again and turned to enter her room.

Ye Tianming went to get food for Fucang. He looked out at the sea of clouds and said softly, "I wonder how much it costs to stay here for one night..."

The money was paid by Li Zheng, but he knew that staying here for one night was definitely not cheap.

Ye Tianming looked up, and above the sea of clouds was the starry sky. The view from the top floor must be even more spectacular.

The small tower suddenly said, "Curious about the view from the top floor?"

Ye Tianming nodded.

The small tower said, "Grandfather will take you to see it in the future."

Ye Tianming was greatly surprised, "Grandfather, that's the top floor, only the founder of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion and her family can enter."

The small tower said, "It's just a room..."

He paused and then said, "The Yang family should still give me this face."

Ye Tianming hesitated for a moment and then said, "What if they don't give it, and not only don't give it, but also attack us, what should we do?"

The small tower: "......"
