Finally, half a month had passed.
This day, at dawn, with the eastern wind and the rising sun, the entire Marquis Kuang City began to boil, as today happened to be the Commoration Day of Marquis Kuang.
According to the rules of many years, those Martial Artists and geniuses who ca to Marquis Kuang’s town would all go to pay tribute in front of the Marquis Kuang Stone Statue.
Whoosh!
In his room at the inn, Xiao Ye suddenly opened his eyes, a gleam flashing through his pitch-black pupils, strikingly awe-inspiring.
"My cultivation has improved quite a bit, thankfully with the Ti Tower here!" Xiao Ye leaped up, moving his limbs around, a smile appearing on his face.
The Ti Tower truly is a heaven-defying treasure, its help to him was imnse, letting his cultivation rapidly improve even with normal cultivation practices, not to ntion he had the Heavenly Treasure Record, a secret technique, in his possession.
"Before the disciple assessnt in the Main Hall of the Holy Palace, my cultivation will definitely break through to the Late Stage of King Martial Level 4," Xiao Ye said as he pushed open the door and walked out.
He rembered that today was the Commoration Day of Marquis Kuang.
He had originally planned to join in the festivity, certainly, he couldn’t miss it.
Xiao Ye walked out of the inn and imdiately noticed that many Martial Artists within Marquis Kuang City were already flocking towards the center of the town.
After carefully inquiring, Xiao Ye found out that there indeed was a Marquis Kuang Stone Statue in the city.
On every Commoration Day of Marquis Kuang over the years, nurous Martial Artists would visit there for tributes.
Xiao Ye felt sowhat embarrassed.
He had originally planned to participate in the Commoration Day, but was so busy with cultivation that he hadn’t clarified this detail, yet now knowing it wasn’t too late.
Following the crowd, Xiao Ye headed towards the center of the town.
Within the citadel of Marquis Kuang, groups of Martial Artists were walking together.
Since today was the Commoration Day of Marquis Kuang, most of the Martial Artists were discussing the tales of Marquis Kuang’s past.
Eavesdropping, Xiao Ye finally understood why Marquis Kuang, even a thousand years after his fall, could still draw many Martial Artists to pay tribute.
A thousand years ago, Marquis Kuang, initially a First-Order Independent Practitioner, forcefully broke through to the Emperor Martial Realm, and his cultivation kept advancing, eventually making his na renowned throughout Central State.
At that ti, coincidentally, a Ferocious Beast frenzy erupted, placing Marquis Kuang City in the peril of being besieged by myriad beasts.
Back then, Marquis Kuang decisively acted, alone he battled nurous Ferocious Beasts for three days and nights, eventually driving back the beasts but at the cost of his own life, having exhausted all his strength due to grave injuries.
Thus, many Martial Artists of Marquis Kuang City, in mory of Marquis Kuang, built a Stone Statue in his honor, visiting annually to pay their respects.
Hearing this narrative, Xiao Ye couldn’t help but feel deep respect.
Marquis Kuang stepped forward in the most perilous tis, saving a city from a disastrous fate at the expense of his own life, indeed, such conduct deserves admiration.
"However, rely for this, it wouldn’t be enough to attract Martial Artists from other places or even the disciples from the Holy Palace to co for the tribute, there must certainly be sothing more," Xiao Ye thought secretly.
Walking along the wide avenue of Marquis Kuang City for a while, Xiao Ye finally arrived at the very center of the city.
Looking around, there already stood a dense crowd, consisting of all sorts of Martial Artists.
At this mont, they were uniform in their movents, holding incense in hand, bowing and paying respects to a magnificent stone statue.
Xiao Ye looked up, the statue depicted a middle-aged man, large and lofty with a face as if chiseled by knives and axes, quite handso; a pair of profound eyes staring up at the Heavenly Do, as if unwilling to accept his fate, wanting to break through the Nine Heavens.
"What a powerful aura!"
A wave stirred in Xiao Ye’s heart.
This stone statue is definitely not crafted by ordinary people, as it accurately captures the expression and presence of a Martial Artist to this extent.
At this mont, besides Xiao Ye, a large number of Martial Artists were arriving from all directions.
When they arrived at the central square, they all solemnly walked over and offered incense to pay homage to the statue of Marquis Kuang.
Every ti disciples from any Sect appeared, it would cause a stir among the Martial Artists in the square.
Xiao Ye glanced around, his gaze slightly sharpened.
From his perspective, he spotted several disciples from powerful Sects arriving.
"What are their intentions for coming here?" Xiao Ye thought secretly. These sects obviously have no ties with Marquis Kuang, so why would they travel all the way to Marquis Kuang City?
Doubts grew in Xiao Ye’s mind.
"Disciples of Taiyi Palace have arrived!" Just then, soone shouted, and suddenly the area beca quiet, with all the Martial Artists looking towards the distance.
Marquis Kuang City is located within the Taiyi Domain, and the overlord of Taiyi Domain is naturally the Taiyi Palace.
In fact, in the entire Central State’s Ten Great Regions, Taiyi Palace is an absolute dominator, with a history even longer than that of the Four Great Emperor Domains, having a heritage of ten thousand years and producing many strong figures, including the Undefeated Emperor who ca from Taiyi Palace.
Thus, Taiyi Palace holds a status in the hearts of Central State Martial Artists almost comparable to the Four Great Emperor Domains.
Facing the disciples of such a colossal entity like Taiyi Palace, not to ntion the Martial Artists of Marquis Kuang CIty, even the disciples from other Sects felt significant pressure.
Xiao Ye smiled slightly, raising his head to look. He wondered if he would encounter any old acquaintances this ti.
Further off, the dense crowd split apart and five young n dressed in the garb of the Heavenly Palace Disciples of Taiyi Palace approached from afar, each with a cold expression.
Xiao Ye was slightly startled, then chuckled bitterly.
He recognized the disciples’ attire but did not recognize these young n.
It wasn’t strange, considering his relatively short stay at the Holy Palace.
After becoming Heavenly Hall Disciple, he imdiately went out for his trials; it would’ve been strange if he did recognize these youths.
"Hmph, even Taiyi Palace has co to join in the hubbub, it seems the chances of obtaining the secret technique are slim." At that mont, a cold snort sounded, drawing Xiao Ye’s attention.
Xiao Ye’s hearing was extrely sharp, and after catching this sound, he slightly narrowed his eyes.
Indeed!
These disciples from various Sects ca to Marquis Kuang’s morial day with an ulterior motive!
A smile appeared on Xiao Ye’s face; it seed his coming here was not in vain!
The five young n from Taiyi Palace walked up to Marquis Kuang’s stone statue, their faces filled with respect as they began offering incense and bowing in homage.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire square beca extrely solemn. The mournful morning wind blew as if soone was weeping, intensely eerie.
Buzz!
Just then, suddenly an incredible atmospheric presence abruptly descended, enveloping the entire square.
"Descendants of Marquis Kuang have co!"
Other Martial Artists in the square also felt this atmosphere, and couldn’t help exclaiming.
"Descendants of Marquis Kuang?" Xiao Ye was startled.
Was Marquis Kuang, a Martial Artist from a thousand years ago, still have descendants in Marquis Kuang City?
