Mega-clan, the Chang Family

"Is that really a claim?" Li Weiyi smiled.

Chang Jian's gaze fell on the fake Li Weiyi not far away. "I heard that the Northern Territory Young Lord can fight to a draw with Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator in the Ninth Heaven. In the Longevity Realm, he easily defeated the Demon Child. Such a record is something even the Ancient Sect True Disciple might not be able to achieve."

"I've also heard that the Hidden Person of the Jiu Li Tribe shattered the Second Heaven of the Dao Young Son of Heaven at the Du'e Temple Dao Seed Realm a single strike in the Dao Image Diagram. Brother, you're a martial artist at the Lingxiao Shengjing, right? Is this rumor true?"

"It's just hearsay; people love to exaggerate," Li Weiyi said.

Chang Xiaoyu, her face veiled, walked quickly toward the fake Li Weiyi. Chang Jian tried to stop her, but it was too late.

"May I ask the Jiu Li Hidden Person, what realm is your martial arts cultivation?"

Chang Xiaoyu's voice silenced everyone ten feet away.

The fake Li Weiyi looked at her with a confused expression.

Yao Yin stood up. "Please, Senior Sister Chang, don't be troubled by the rumors. What happened in the Daoist image shouldn't be taken seriously."

"So you are the Young Son of Heaven of Du'e Temple, Chang Yuqing. I've seen you in the Daoist portrait." The fake Li Weiyi said.

In Lingxiao City, when the Demon Child stormed the West Sea Royal Mansion carrying the <Nine Heavens Dao Image Chart>, Chang Yuqing's Dao Image, which was at the Second Heaven cultivation, was shattered by Li Weiyi's single strike.

When the news reached the Du'e Temple, it naturally had a significant impact on Chang Yuqing.

A look of realization flashed in Li Weiyi's eyes as she looked at Chang Jian beside her.

Chang Jian smiled wryly, not looking down on Li Weiyi just because she was Lingxiao Shengjing martial artist. "I apologize, it wasn't intentional to use a pseudonym, I just wanted to keep a low profile and avoid causing unnecessary trouble. Let me introduce myself again, Chang Yujian, female Chang Chang."

"The Chang family is Mega-clan in the Demon Kingdom. Chang Yuqing is Young Son of Heaven at the Dao Seed Realm of the Du'e Temple. It is understandable that he changed his name to keep a low profile. Young Master Chang must be a first-rate figure. There is no need for him to apologize to an unknown person like me," Li Weiyi said calmly.

The six outstanding Outstanding Person standing behind Chang Yujian all showed proud expressions and confident smiles upon hearing these words.

As members of the Mega-clan, they naturally tend to feel superior when facing martial artists from the Lingxiao Shengjing.

However, Chang Yujian could see that Li Weiyi was extraordinary. The fact that the "Mega-clan" and the "Demon Kingdom" did not make him show the slightest fear showed his high morale.

The phrase "I've seen you in the Daoist diagram" completely ignited the competitive spirit of the Young Son of Heaven Chang Yuqing, who asked again, "May I ask the Jiu Li Hidden Person, what is your current level of martial arts cultivation? Or are you afraid to answer?"

The fake Li Weiyi laughed and said, "There's nothing I'm afraid to answer. I 'Sixth Heaven the Dao Seed Realm. What, Miss Chang, are you challenging me? Have you also reached the Sixth Heaven cultivation?"

Chang Yuqing had only broken through one realm and reached the Third Heaven. After a brief moment of shock, she was enraged by the other party's provocative and mocking words.

"Chang Sheng!" Chang Yuqing called out.

A young man in armor, standing behind Chang Yujian, appeared beside Chang Yuqing in a flash, like a streak of light.

Chang Yuqing coldly stared at the fake Li Weiyi: "Chang Sheng is at the peak of the Sixth Heaven. If you can defeat him within three moves, I will believe that what happened in the Dao Image Diagram is real. Jiu Li Hidden Person, don't disappoint me."

Li Weiyi saw it clearly: the fake Li Weiyi was deliberately provoking Chang Yuqing.

"Bang!"

Chang Sheng was sent flying by the fake Li Weiyi's palm strike, blood spurting from his mouth and nose. He had suffered serious internal injuries and landed heavily on the ground more than ten feet away. He took six or seven steps back before he could barely stand up.

The martial arts practitioners in Lingxiao Shengjing all cheered enthusiastically.

The fake Li Weiyi said, "Miss Chang, sending such a person to test my strength, isn't that a bit disrespectful? Or is it that you look down on martial artists at the Lingxiao Shengjing?"

Chang Yuqing was so angry at him that her eyes seemed to shoot out sharp arrows.

Li Weiyi was secretly surprised, looking at the other five people standing behind Chang Yujian: "As expected of the Mega-clan, any one of them is a prodigy at the Inheritor-level. Could these five also be Inheritors?"

The fake Li Weiyi is very strong. If Chang Sheng were not the inheritor, he would not have been able to stay standing after being knocked away.

Chang Yujian's expression was quite unpleasant. She felt that the Jiu Li Hidden Person was too arrogant. Suppressing her anger, she said calmly, "In the Lingxiao Shengjing, among the Myriad Gate Families, only two or three such talents are born every sixty years. They are highly regarded and therefore can be called inheritors."

"But the Mega-clan rules over a population more than ten times that of the Myriad Gate Families, allowing cultivation resources to be concentrated even more at the higher levels. Every sixty years, as many as twenty or thirty talents of this caliber emerge. In some golden ages, one such talent would appear every year during the clan's grand examination."

"It wouldn't be appropriate for us to call ourselves inheritors!"

"We call these talented individuals the Chief-level. This is because the top scorer in the clan's grand examination is called the Chief of that year."

They wanted to bestow upon them the title "Mega-clan".

The minimum standard is a population of over 100 million under its jurisdiction.

This is just one of the standards.

Requirements are set for the number of people in the Longevity Realm, the number of people in the Transcendent Realm, and the cultivation level of the strongest individuals.

Therefore, the true Mega-clan in Southern Yingzhou often numbered in the hundreds of millions.

The Chang family's influence can reach a population of 300 million, with millions of newborns every year. Therefore, the top scorer in the clan's major examination can be described as one in millions.

Chief-level geniuses are one in ten million.

"The Chief-level is further divided into ordinary chief, Upper Chief, and Peak Chief."

"Ordinary chief cultivators are simply not good enough. Only those who are at least Upper Chief have a greater chance of competing for the transcendent realm and receiving special training."

"Of course, even if one surpasses the chief disciple and reaches the level of Young Genius at the Dao Seed Realm, so what? Without becoming Ancient Sect True Disciple, it's all in vain, and one will fall behind sooner or later."

Chang Yujian suddenly stood up and led the five people behind her toward the fake Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi didn't want to offend a Mega-clan for no reason, so he used his telepathy to send a message to the fake Li Weiyi: "If you make enemies for me, I'll have to reveal your identity!"

The fake Li Weiyi looked in Li Weiyi's direction, a smile flickering in his eyes. He quickly and politely clasped his hands in apology to Chang Yuqing, his tone gentle. "I was just joking with Miss Chang. In fact, I have already broken through to the Seventh Heaven."

"Please don't take the matter in the Dao Image Diagram to heart, Miss Chang. It was all the Demon Child's deliberate sowing of rumors. How could anyone possibly break through from the Second Heaven to the Seventh Heaven in just a few months?"

Then, the fake Li Weiyi tossed a healing pill to Chang Sheng, saying, "I apologize for my rudeness earlier."

With Yao Yin's help, the two sides quickly turned hostility into friendship, and laughter filled the air.

There was no real hatred involved.

Fifteen minutes later.

Many martial artists from the Lingxiao Shengjing gathered around Chang Yujian and Chang Yuqing, seemingly trying to curry favor with them. This is only human nature.

Although the Chang family is also a force within the Demon Kingdom, they are political enemies with the Demon Country Crown Prince and the Sacred Dark Family, and the two sides are extremely at odds.

The fake Li Weiyi, accompanied by Yao Yin, sat down next to the real Li Weiyi and transmitted a message in the voice of Zuoqiu Hongting: "Uncle Li bought the Extreme Day True Pill and also collected Thousand-Year Elixir from all over the place. I guessed that you must have arrived! Without some tricks, it would be as difficult as climbing to heaven to see you."

Li Weiyi transmitted his voice. "You want to see me? I think you're deliberately trying to cause trouble and embarrass Xue Jian Tang Ting."

Zuoqiu Hongting quickly denied it. "If I were deliberately trying to cause trouble, I wouldn't be using your identity. I would come in person; that would demonstrate the confidence of the Zuoqiu Courtyard. I truly have something important to discuss with you, related to Jiang Ning. Something happened to her, and I couldn't bring her to Qiuzhou City. I'm sorry..."

Li Weiyi was silent for a moment, then said, "I should be the one saying sorry. I almost killed you."

Zuoqiu Hongting suddenly looked at him. "You already knew?"

Li Weiyi nodded.

Sitting to the left of the fake Li Weiyi Yao Yin's eyes darted curiously back and forth between the two. "Won't the Hidden Person introduce himself? Who exactly is this gentleman?"

The unusual behavior of the fake Li Weiyi against the martial arts practitioners of the Chang family aroused Yao Yin's suspicion, and her tone became more wary.

Li Weiyi gave her a cold look. "I think you'll get sold out and still be counting the money for them. How can someone like you hold onto the position of the true disciple of the Du'e Temple?"

A blank look appeared in Yao Yin's eyes above her veil, and then she looked at the fake Li Weiyi beside her.

"Don't be nervous, it's me."

The voice of Zuoqiu Hongting the fake Li Weiyi's mouth.

Having spent two years together at Du'e Temple, Zuoqiu Hongting and Yao Yin had developed a deep friendship; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to deceive her.

After letting out a sigh of relief, Yao Yin's cheeks flushed instantly beneath her veil. She recalled the awkward moment that morning on the Jiu Li Tribe's boat when her suppressed emotions erupted, causing her to throw herself into Zuoqiu Hongting's arms.

"You two... you've gone too far..."

Yao Yin spoke in a low voice, too ashamed to stay any longer, and got up to leave.

They've completely lost face.

From the sea below, a Huo Xin voice rang out. "Dao Palace, Zhen Xin are here to pay your respects."

The Huo Xin, radiating crimson light, and the Zhen Xin, radiating icy blue light, left two long streaks of light on the azure sea.

The next instant, they landed straight on the railings of the ship's side, one to the left and one to the right.

Huo Xin raised his head and looked up at the ship's deck. "Please convey a message to the true disciple: request the Northern Territory Young Lord to appear."

This is an arrogant attitude, like an emperor issuing a decree, ordering his subjects to appear and receive it.

If Tang Wanzhou were to show up, it would be as if he were being overshadowed by the two true disciples of the Du'e Temple. At the same time, the Xue Jian Tang Ting and the entire Lingxiao Shengjing would be like vassals of the Dao Palace.

"The show is about to begin!"

Chang Yujian stood on a spot near the sea on the fifth floor, a smile on her face, her gaze sweeping in all directions, searching for the figures of the two true disciples of the Dao Palace.

Zuoqiu Hongting pulled Yao Yin back to her seat and looked at Li Weiyi: "See? It has nothing to do with me. Xue Jian Tang Ting is holding such a high-profile Commander's Feast, how could others not come to test the waters? The most outstanding young people are destined to be ranked in the East China Sea."

Li Weiyi asked, "What level are you at in martial arts? And what level are you at in mental power?"
