111: The patriarch of the Xuan Yue Dynasty enters the sect

Qingtian Sect, Elder's residence.

Li Big Saber received the report from Zhang Wu, and without a moment's delay, he headed towards the Main Hall to seek instructions from Jiang Chen.

After all, to accept an affiliated power, he needed Jiang Chen's consent. Without Jiang Chen's permission, he dared not bring people in privately.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, the Old Ancestor of Xuan Yue Dynasty is prepared to have the Xuan Yue Dynasty submit to our Qingtian Sect. He is currently outside the Mountain Gate. May I ask if the Sect Master wishes to summon him?"

Li Big Saber walked into the Main Hall, bowed to Jiang Chen, and asked.

"Oh? Xuan Yue Dynasty?"

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

He knew of this Xuan Yue Dynasty; during the azure emperor inheritance, his Divine Sense had been constantly on The Four Night Owls.

His impression of this Imperial Dynasty was neither good nor bad.

Now that the other party was taking the initiative to submit, he would not refuse.

After all, this was an Emperor-level power; with a little cultivation, it would become an epic treasure chest.

However, he would not accept the Xuan Yue Dynasty as easily as he had the Hundred Flowers Sect. Instead, he prepared to let the Old Ancestor of Xuan Yue Dynasty pass through the Illusion Demon Realm.

Because as long as they became an affiliated power of the Qingtian Sect, he would grant the Xuan Yue Dynasty cultivation spots. If this Old Thing had ill intentions, wouldn't he be cultivating a rival for himself?

"Summon him in. Use the illusion demon mirror to test him first. If he can pass, bring him to see me."

Jiang Chen looked at Li Big Saber and replied indifferently.

If the Old Ancestor of Xuan Yue Dynasty could not pass the illusion demon mirror, then he could only laugh.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Li Big Saber understood and stepped out of the Main Hall, telling Zhang Wu and Liu Liu to bring the person in.

Outside the Mountain Gate in the air.

After Wang Pockmark received the message from Liu Liu.

He pointed at the Qingtian Sect Mountain Gate and said to the fawning Old Ancestor of Xuan Yue Dynasty, "Our Sect Master summons you to enter. You may enter the Mountain Gate yourself, and someone there will guide you."

After speaking, Wang Pockmark did not linger, continuing to publicize Li Big Saber's regulations to the arriving Cultivators.

"Many thanks, Fellow Daoist, for the message!"

The Old Ancestor of Xuan Yue Dynasty bowed to Wang Pockmark's retreating figure, then flew to the Qingtian Sect Mountain Gate, landed, and stepped slowly into the Mountain Gate.

"Hoo!!"

As soon as he entered the Qingtian Sect, the Old Ancestor of Xuan Yue Dynasty felt an extremely dense Spiritual Qi rushing towards him.

Immediately, his face turned flushed, and his breathing became somewhat difficult.

"Hiss, th-this... is the Spiritual Qi here too dense?"

Looking at the Spiritual Qi surging like flowing water around him, the expression of the Old Ancestor of Xuan Yue Dynasty was stunned.

He had lived for thousands of years and had never seen any place with Spiritual Qi as dense as the Qingtian Sect.

Even in the Central Province, which all Cultivators dreamed of, he had never encountered a place with such dense Spiritual Qi.

If he were not a Quasi-Emperor, a Cultivator with lower cultivation who entered might have collapsed on the ground on the spot.

"Are you the Old Ancestor of Xuan Yue Dynasty?"

Liu Liu, who was guarding the Mountain Gate, asked with a cold expression.

Zhang Wu stood to the side, not even glancing at the Old Ancestor of Xuan Yue Dynasty, because he was closing his eyes and absorbing Spiritual Qi.

Guarding the Mountain Gate here, although he couldn't have the one-thousand-times time flow like the Time Pagoda, the density of Spiritual Qi was not inferior in the slightest, so he would not miss any opportunity to improve his cultivation.

"Ah, yes, yes. This Fellow Daoist, I am Dugu Xiong of the Xuan Yue Dynasty."

Hearing Liu Liu's question, the Old Ancestor of Xuan Yue Dynasty instantly came to his senses and replied with a respectful bow.

Although Liu Liu's cultivation was only First Level Saint Emperor, he dared not have the slightest contempt.

This was already inside the Qingtian Sect; his every word and action related to whether the Xuan Yue Dynasty could become an affiliated power of the Qingtian Sect.

So even if Liu Liu was a gatekeeper, he had to give him full respect.

"Follow me."

Having received confirmation from Dugu Xiong, Liu Liu did not waste words and greeted him before walking towards the Qingtian Sect plaza.

"Yes, many thanks, Fellow Daoist, for leading the way."

Dugu Xiong agreed tightly and followed behind Liu Liu.

While walking, he examined the environment of the Qingtian Sect, looking like a country bumpkin entering the city, finding everything fresh.

He didn't think he was losing face.

This was an Imperial Sect; how many people could never set foot in one in their entire lives, let alone come in to observe?

Even if the Qingtian Sect didn't accept the Xuan Yue Dynasty today, it was worth it to be able to come in once. After all, absorbing the Spiritual Qi here was really too refreshing.

It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at the Qingtian Sect plaza.

At this moment, Li Big Saber stood with his hands behind his back, his back facing Liu Liu and Dugu Xiong.

"Reporting, Grand Elder, the person from the Xuan Yue Dynasty has been brought."

Liu Liu walked behind Li Big Saber and reported with a bow.

"Hmm, you may go down." Li Big Saber turned around and instructed with a calm expression.

"Yes, Grand Elder." Liu Liu bowed again and returned towards the Mountain Gate.

Seeing this, Dugu Xiong immediately bent his old waist to his knees and shouted, "Junior Dugu Xiong pays respects to Senior!"

Dugu Xiong's wrinkled face was full of respect.

Although Li Big Saber did not leak a single bit of aura and looked just like an ordinary person.

But his Quasi-Emperor intuition told him that the person in front of him definitely had a higher cultivation than him, though he didn't know exactly how high.

Because Wang Pockmark, who was maintaining order, was already a First Level Quasi-Emperor; as the Grand Elder of the Qingtian Sect, how could Li Big Saber's cultivation be low?

"Hmm, no need for formalities."

Li Big Saber waved a force, lifted Dugu Xiong, and then said slowly, "Our Sect Master has agreed to see you. However, before meeting our Sect Master, we need to perform a small test. After you pass, I will take you to him."

After Li Big Saber finished speaking, he took out the illusion demon mirror and threw it onto the plaza.

The illusion demon mirror, which had just been small and exquisite, instantly transformed into a large mirror over a hundred meters long and wide.

"There's a test??"

Looking at the giant illusion demon mirror above his head, Dugu Xiong's expression was confused.

He had never heard that becoming someone's affiliated power required a test.

Just now, when Wang Pockmark let him enter the Sect, he thought things were almost done.

After all, after the Xuan Yue Dynasty submitted to the Qingtian Sect, they had to offer a large amount of cultivation resources every year.

Now there was a test; what was this all about?

"Se.. Senior, is this test dangerous?" Dugu Xiong asked weakly.

He was most afraid that this test had some danger. After all, he was only here to submit to the Qingtian Sect and did not want to lose his life for no reason.

If it was really dangerous, he would rather take the Dugu clan and leave the Southern Region than participate in this test.

"Hehe, no."

Li Big Saber smiled upon hearing this and said, "This test itself has no danger; it is just an illusion. If you cannot pass, This Elder will personally send you home."

"Hoo, so it's just an illusion test."

Hearing Li Big Saber's explanation, Dugu Xiong breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if one couldn't pass an illusion test, it wouldn't cause any harm to the body.

And Li Big Saber said that if he couldn't pass, he would personally send him home; the person was really quite nice.

Since that was the case, he would give it a try. If he couldn't pass, so be it; at worst, he would leave the Southern Region after going back.

"Senior, Junior is willing to accept the test." Dugu Xiong bowed to Li Big Saber.

"Good, let's start now."

Li Big Saber did not waste words and waved a force into the illusion demon mirror.

Immediately, the giant illusion demon mirror made a buzzing sound, and then a thick beam of light enveloped Dugu Xiong, and then he disappeared.

Inside the illusion demon mirror.

Dugu Xiong's figure appeared inside.

He stood on a high building in the Xuan Yue Dynasty, admiring the vast imperial city with a look of disdain.

At this moment, he was no longer an old man, but much younger.

In the world of the illusion demon mirror, he had led the Xuan Yue Dynasty to become an affiliated power of the Qingtian Sect.

And the Qingtian Sect had not been stingy in cultivating the Xuan Yue Dynasty.

With the help of the Qingtian Sect over the years, his cultivation had broken through to the Great Emperor Second Level, and he was considered a top expert in the entire Canglan Continent.

The Xuan Yue Dynasty also gained more than a dozen Quasi-Emperors and a large number of Saint Realm Experts, and its territory even expanded to other regions, many times stronger than before.

"Old Ancestor! Old Ancestor! Something happened, a big thing happened!"

Just as Dugu Xiong was admiring his territory, the Emperor of the Xuan Yue Dynasty, Dugu Yi, ran over with a panicked expression.

"What is so panicky?"

Dugu Xiong turned around and asked calmly.

Under the leadership of the Qingtian Sect, his Xuan Yue Dynasty was thriving; what big thing could happen?

Facing Dugu Xiong's questioning, Dugu Yi calmed down and quickly replied, "Old Ancestor, the Upper Sect just issued an order, saying that the eight Emperor-level powers of the Central Province have surrounded the Upper Sect and demanded that we immediately lead the elites of the Xuan Yue Dynasty to support the Upper Sect."

"Oh?"

Dugu Xiong was shocked upon hearing this and immediately roared, "Then why are you still talking nonsense here? Why don't you go and mobilize the forces to follow this old man to support the Upper Sect!!"

"Ol.. Old Ancestor, why don't you reconsider? This time, eight Emperor-level powers are besieging the Upper Sect. If we go to support, it's possible we won't return."

Seeing Dugu Xiong didn't hesitate at all to order him to mobilize troops, Dugu Yi reminded him weakly.

Although the Xuan Yue Dynasty had risen to an unprecedented height under the cultivation of the Qingtian Sect.

But now the Qingtian Sect was facing a siege by so many powers from the Central Province and could be destroyed at any time. For the Xuan Yue Dynasty to go and support at this time was just going to die.

"beast!!"

Hearing Dugu Yi speak such heartless words.

Dugu Xiong cursed angrily, kicked him to the ground, and then roared angrily, "You beast, the Upper Sect has not treated our Xuan Yue Dynasty poorly. Now that the Upper Sect needs our help, how dare you say such ungrateful words!!"

Dugu Xiong became more and more angry as he spoke, directly using his big feet to fiercely attack Dugu Yi.

If it weren't for the fact that he needed manpower to support the Qingtian Sect later, he would have definitely beaten this ungrateful beast to death.

"Ah... Ah!"

"Old Ancestor, Yi'er was wrong, Yi'er shouldn't have said that, Old Ancestor, please show mercy."

Dugu Yi screamed as he was kicked, and couldn't help but plead for mercy.

He felt as if his bones were about to fall apart. If Dugu Xiong didn't stop, he might really be kicked to death.

"Hmph! If it weren't for the fact that supporting the Upper Sect required manpower, this old man would definitely have kicked you to death today, you beast."

Dugu Xiong stopped his feet, looked coldly at the curled-up Dugu Yi, and said again, "You go and mobilize all Cultivators in the Xuan Yue Dynasty above the Earth Venerable realm and follow this old man to support the Upper Sect. If you perform well this time, this old man will allow you to make up for your crimes."

Dugu Yi endured the pain in his body, stood up, and replied, "Yes, Old Ancestor, Yi'er will go and mobilize the army right now."

After speaking.

Dugu Yi turned around, took out a healing pill, stuffed it into his mouth, and then limped away from the high building.

Soon, under Dugu Yi's mobilization.

A large number of golden battleships set off from various places in the Xuan Yue Dynasty and headed towards the Qingtian Sect.

When everyone arrived at the Qingtian Sect, the battle was extremely intense.

Countless Central Province Cultivators and Qingtian Sect Disciples were fighting together, and people were falling every moment.

"Upper Sect, our Xuan Yue Dynasty has arrived!"

"Everyone, kill for me, fight to the death to protect the Upper Sect!!"

Dugu Xiong shouted loudly to the Xuan Yue Dynasty Cultivators on the battleships, and then killed towards the Great Emperors of the eight powers of the Central Province.

And the Xuan Yue Dynasty Cultivators on the battleships did not hesitate, flying off the battleships one after another and fighting with the Central Province powers.

"Hmm... very good, quite loyal."

Li Big Saber watched everything from outside the illusion demon mirror.

He immediately waved his hand and grabbed Dugu Xiong, who was fighting with the Central Province Great Emperors, out.

By the time the illusion reached this point, Dugu Xiong's character no longer needed to be tested.

"I... where am I?"

Dugu Xiong came out of the illusion demon mirror and looked around in a daze.

He had just been fighting bloody battles with the hostile powers besieging the Upper Sect; how could he appear here?

"What just happened was just an illusion; you have passed the test."

Li Big Saber waved a force into Dugu Yi's body to let him wake up.

"Hiss, the one just now was actually an illusion?"

After Dugu Yi woke up, his expression was extremely shocked.

He was a Quasi-Emperor; after entering the illusion demon mirror, he hadn't noticed at all.

The power of the illusion demon mirror was truly too terrifying.

"Let's go, you passed the test; now come with me to pay respects to the Sect Master."

Li Big Saber greeted Dugu Xiong and walked towards the Qingtian Sect Main Hall.

"Yes, Senior."

Dugu Xiong agreed respectfully and followed closely behind Li Big Saber.

Although he still had some lingering fears about the illusion just now, he had passed the test. Now, as long as the Qingtian Sect Master nodded, his Xuan Yue Dynasty would become an affiliated power of the Qingtian Sect.

But after becoming an affiliated power, would it really be like in the illusion, where the Qingtian Sect would Cultivate him into a Great Emperor?

"Reporting, Sect Master, the person from the Xuan Yue Dynasty has passed the test. May I ask if the Sect Master wishes to summon him?"

Li Big Saber brought Dugu Yi to the entrance of the Main Hall and asked towards the inside of the hall.

"Let him in."

Jiang Chen's calm voice came from inside.

"Go in!"

Li Big Saber said, and then retreated to the side of the Main Hall to wait.

If Jiang Chen accepted the Xuan Yue Dynasty later, he still had things to explain, so he was not prepared to leave.

"Yes, Senior, Junior will go in now."

Dugu Xiong shook off the somewhat dreamy thoughts in his mind and slowly stepped into the Main Hall.

Inside the Main Hall.

As soon as Dugu Xiong entered, he saw Jiang Chen enjoying himself.

He dared not look too much, quickly knelt on the ground, and shouted to Jiang Chen, "Junior Dugu Xiong pays respects to the Sect Master of Qingtian Sect!"
