At that mont, inside a luxurious building by the sea on the island, several people were chatting leisurely over tea.
The person leading the conversation was an elder, with white hair and beard, yet with bright eyes and a youthful face, exuding a powerful aura that clearly indicated he was a formidable character.
The others, either sitting or standing, showed great respect towards this elder.
"Father, it’s been fifteen years, and the Phoenix God Empire seems to be in turmoil again."
A middle-aged man, dressed like a scholar, tapped lightly on the book on his knee and said indifferently.
"Indeed, fifteen years have passed since the last Dragon Phoenix selection when Ji Lingyue erged victorious. Everyone thought she would beco a legendary strong character, but a month after the selection ended, she mysteriously disappeared."
The elder sighed deeply and said helplessly.
"What’s there to regret about her disappearance? After all, she couldn’t be used by us."
The middle-aged scholar said dismissively, "Recently, there seems to be another peerless genius in the Phoenix God Empire, acting as fearlessly as Ji Lingyue did."
"Is it that Ling Xiao kid?" The elder laughed and said, "Last ti I went to Changle Immortal Island, Jackson Le Grandmaster praised him quite a bit. Winning the championship at the alchemy conference, even though he might not excel in martial arts, his alchemy skills alone make him worthwhile to pursue."
"Father, how should we proceed? Should we try to win him over?"
The middle-aged scholar asked.
"First, make contact and see. I heard this kid has quite an ambition, establishing the Heavenly Dynasty Empire. Where does he place us Sacred Dynasty?"
The elder said calmly, "Try not to offend him initially. Observe first; if truly impossible to pull him over, eliminate him. A genius that can’t be utilized is a concern if too strong."
"Understood."
The middle-aged scholar nodded.
"By the way, this Dragon Phoenix selection is unlike previous ones. Matching the scale of the previous Five Immortal Gatherings, our Sacred Dynasty Immortal Island has been dormant for so many years, it’s ti to reveal our strength."
The elder suddenly changed the topic.
"Reporting to Father, I plan to send the top ten disciples from Immortal Island to the Dragon Phoenix selection. What do you think?"
The middle-aged scholar asked.
"Quality over quantity; just send the top three. Also, call Huang Tian back from his travels on White Tiger Continent. With him, there’s a better chance. Dragon Phoenix selection may not be much, but the upcoming White Tiger Summit involves facing the four nations and one sect on White Tiger Continent, it can’t be underestimated."
The elder pondered and said, "Moreover, the marriage between Huang Tian and Luo Yu should be settled. This will foster closer ties between our Sacred Dynasty Immortal Island and Tianlong Trade Company Ji Clan."
"Exactly, Luo Yu is not only Ji Qing’s daughter but also dicine King Sun Ran’s disciple. As long as Huang Tian wins the Dragon Phoenix selection, he can rightfully propose."
The middle-aged scholar smiled and said.
Ji Huangtian, a domineering na and also the most outstanding successor cultivated by Sacred Dynasty Immortal Island.
No Ji family mber doesn’t wish to revive the Sacred Dynasty.
The Sacred Dynasty Immortal Island Ji Clan;
The Righteous Qi Alliance Ji Clan;
The Tianlong Trade Company Ji Clan all have such ambitions.
Currently, even though their choices vary, they are all focused on cultivating their successors.
Ji Huangtian is the pride of Sacred Dynasty Immortal Island and the hope for Sacred Dynasty’s revival.
Perhaps the Heavenly Emperor Ling Xiao will beco his sharpening stone.
...
"Master, soone is here to see you!"
Ling Xiao, after sending off Wine Demon Sword, returned to cultivation. This ti, had it not been for the trouble caused by those three foolish Phoenix Sons, he wouldn’t have erged.
Approximately a day and a night passed before he ca out of his cultivation state.
His cultivation level was completely solidified in the Third Cave Heaven Realm.
The realms of the Divine Sword of Light and the Dark Demon Sword hadn’t improved, but there were deeper insights.
Sunrise Transformation and Fiery Sun Transformation beca easier to perform.
Heavenly Demon Annihilation and Heavenly Demon Destruction could even be used together, greatly enhancing power.
Just as he erged, he heard Leng i’s voice.
"Who’s looking for ?"
Ling Xiao asked curiously.
"It’s !"
Without waiting for Leng i to answer, a lively female voice chid in.
Ji Luoyu entered with a smile and said, "Brother Ling is truly difficult to see; I’ve sent three waves of people all failing to et you, so I had to co myself."
"Ah, Miss Luo Yu, what brings you here?"
Ling Xiao’s impression of Ji Luoyu still lingered on the alchemy conference at Cri City.
This Ji Luoyu, although a disciple of dicine King Sun Ran, had a character totally different from her master.
Sun Ran, an old scoundrel, was despicable and shaless, while Ji Luoyu was honest and straightforward, contrary to her father Ji Qing.
Moreover, since Ji Qing helped him back then, Ling Xiao held a favorable impression of Ji Luoyu.
"Can’t I find you without a reason?"
Ji Luoyu playfully stuck out her tongue and said, "Recently, my master has been closely associating with the Ice Phoenix Clan and Phoenix God College, discussing you multiple tis. You ought to be careful; he’s a vengeful person. Back at Cri City, you didn’t give him face. He may not say anything now, but he won’t spare you given a chance."
"Thank you, Miss Luo Yu, for the reminder. Leng i, please serve tea."
Ling Xiao had just finished cultivating, and since Ji Luoyu had co personally, it wouldn’t do to ignore her. Perhaps through conversation, he’d glean so useful information.
Leng i went to make tea.
Ji Luoyu walked around the room and looked up at a painting hanging on the wall.
The woman in the painting was regal and elegant, exuding an aura of immortal qi, truly like a fairy descending to Earth, entrancing Ji Luoyu.
"Is this Her Highness Moon Lady?"
Ji Luoyu asked.
"Indeed, it was painted by personally; not bad, right?"
Ling Xiao smiled and said.
"You know how to paint too?"
Ji Luoyu asked in surprise.
"Do you think of as just a brute who kills and fights all day?"
Ling Xiao chuckled and replied, "I dabble in painting, calligraphy, and sculpture, though painting is perhaps my stronger suit. It’s not about learning, but sotis when martial arts issues can’t be resolved, these help in comprehension."
"Does it work?"
"Of course it works. Though they may seem ordinary arts, if the soul is imrsed in them, there are indeed many insights to be gained."
Ling Xiao laughed, "Many cultivation techniques and martial arts from the Ancient Era were actually refined from the most ordinary life arts. For example, the Snake Fist and Crane Fist inspired by observing animal fights. Combined with a compatible Martial Soul, they are imnsely powerful."
"Hearing you say that, it’s indeed fascinating."
Ji Luoyu looked at Ling Xiao with interest, seemingly intrigued by everything he said.
Their conversation grew more engrossing, moving from painting to alchemy, and from alchemy to martial arts, naturally stretching over half an hour.
At this ti, outside Qingxu College, suddenly gathered a crowd of young people.
They were not here to cause trouble for Ling Xiao but to pursue Ji Luoyu.
