"Kid, do you have a problem with that?" Luo Liuli suddenly looked at Wei Qing.

"N-no, of course, I'm more than happy to. Heh heh."

Wei Qing's voice suddenly rose by three degrees, and he waved his hands repeatedly to show he had no objections.

He exclaimed inwardly, Could this Senior Luo have mind-reading abilities? Otherwise, how would she know what I'm thinking?

Luo Liuli withdrew her gaze and turned to Yun Tianheng, "Shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

Yun Tianheng was stunned at first, then realized and said, "It was my oversight. As a disciple of an esteemed figure, I shall present a meeting gift immediately."

In his opinion, Wei Qing's comprehension of two Profound Meanings before the age of 18 was certainly inseparable from Luo Liuli's guidance.

Although the two did not address each other as master and disciple, their master-disciple relationship was already established.

Little did he know, this was Wei Qing's first time meeting Luo Liuli.

Seeing that Luo Liuli did not deny it, Wei Qing was also excited. With such a powerful backer, who could refuse?

Then, Yun Tianheng raised his hand and gently waved towards a dragon-entwined pillar behind him.

Instantly, an ancient ring carved with dragon patterns shot out and landed steadily in his palm.

"This is all that remains of our Cloud Firmament Sect. It's all yours."

"Thank you, Senior. In the future, I will surely make the Cloud Firmament Sect's brilliance shine in the Eastern Domain once more." Wei Qing took the ring and solemnly promised.

Although the other party hadn't said it, accepting such a favor without reason wasn't Wei Qing's style.

Besides, if not for the Cloud Firmament Sect back then, the Eastern Domain would likely have fallen.

"In that case, thank you, young man."

Yun Tianheng's soul trembled upon hearing this, his voice carrying a barely perceptible tremor.

He could see the sincerity and determination in Wei Qing's words were genuine and from the heart, which made him truly accept Wei Qing as a person.

Calling him "young man" was his way of showing his attitude.

"Alright, you should go out now. If you have any questions later, you can ask him first. Don't disturb me if it's nothing important."

As he spoke, without waiting for Wei Qing's reply, he waved his right hand and forcibly sent him out of his sea of consciousness.

Upon regaining consciousness, Wei Qing was dumbfounded. "Who exactly is the owner of this body? I don't even have permission to stay in my own sea of consciousness..."

Suddenly, a bone-chilling coldness rose from his sea of consciousness, scaring Wei Qing into quickly changing his tune, "Oh my... what lovely weather it is today!"

Only after the coldness receded did he finally relax, fearing he would get beaten.

"I still don't know the young man's name."

"Senior, I am Wei Qing."

"What senior and senior? Just call me Brother Tian. I prefer that name." Yun Tianheng chuckled heartily, his tone carrying a hint of familiarity.

"Okay, Brother Tian."

Wei Qing responded, his words revealing a hint of joy.

Another powerful backer.

"Brother Wei, I'm going to consolidate my soul first. Call me if you need anything."

"Okay, Brother Tian."

Afterward, Wei Qing took out the ring gifted by Yun Tianheng and eagerly opened it.

Upon seeing what was inside, his eyes were almost blinded.

Piles of Spirit Stones, four Grade-A Spirit Veins, and even one top-grade Spirit Vein.

It was worth noting that during the great battle back then, when the Tianyuan Realm's spiritual energy erupted, there were only forty-nine top-grade Spirit Veins formed.

After the fierce battle, fewer than thirty remained.

He never expected there to be one inside this ring.

Besides the Spirit Stones, there were twenty-six cultivation method books. Although not many, each one was a powerful technique starting from at least Earth Grade.

Furthermore, there were eighteen weapons of Earth Grade or higher. Even though five or six of them were damaged, their emitted aura was by no means comparable to ordinary peak Mysterious Grade weapons.

As for Spirit Grass and Pills, there weren't many. It was likely they were consumed during the great battle.

"This is just what's left. I can't even imagine how wealthy the Cloud Firmament Sect was back then... Now it's all mine, hehe."

Wei Qing suddenly felt like a beggar who had turned into a billionaire.

At this moment, even if he wanted to establish a first-class force, these resources would be more than enough.

After checking all his gains, Wei Qing put away the ring and stood up to leave the palace.

The other nineteen people had already received their inheritances before him.

Seeing Wei Qing emerge, everyone's gaze turned towards him. Upon seeing that his cultivation had not changed at all, they were all stunned.

After all, the least any of them had improved was by two minor realms.

Dongfang Rongrong and Zhang Xue had even crossed an entire major realm.

The most terrifying was Jun Wushang, who not only crossed a major realm but also further advanced by a minor realm on that basis, catching up to Zhang Xue's cultivation level: Seventh Rank Intermediate.

Wei Qing walked out from the central grand hall. Logically, his cultivation should have increased even more.

Yet, now, it hadn't increased at all, remaining at the Seventh Rank Advanced level.

"Qingzi, what's going on with you?"

Jun Wushang took a step forward, asking with concern.

"There were some unexpected events, but thankfully, I'm unharmed."

Wei Qing did not reveal what had happened inside the grand hall. Otherwise, he would face pursuit from all forces in the entire Eastern Domain.

With his current strength of Sixth Rank Advanced, lasting even a single day would be considered a stroke of luck for his Wei family ancestors.

Seeing this, the others didn't ask further questions.

After all, even if Wei Qing's strength had stagnated, they knew in their hearts that even the current Wei Qing was not someone they could easily defeat.

"Alright, let's gather everyone first. I have something to announce." Wei Qing's words were concise and powerful, interrupting the crowd's thoughts.

A moment later.

Everyone returned to the plaza in front of the steps, their gazes fixed on Wei Qing.

Wei Qing cut straight to the chase. "Everyone present knows that regardless of whether you obtained any fortuitous encounters or inheritances, we must present a united front externally. The words 'Cloud Firmament Sect' must absolutely not be mentioned."

He emphasized the words "Cloud Firmament Sect" heavily.

Tantai Yue, Qin Shuang, and a few others immediately understood the meaning behind Wei Qing's words, their expressions changing drastically.

"Why is that? Can't we even tell our sect elders?"

One of the sect disciples who had obtained an inheritance asked, full of confusion.

"Are you stupid?" Qin Shuang looked at him like an idiot and explained, "How powerful was the Cloud Firmament Sect in the Eastern Domain back then? How many external forces could resist such immense temptation without being tempted?"

"Our elders or sect might still have some reputation in Jizhou Prefecture, but if we expand that to the entire Great Zhou, or even the Eastern Domain, we are like a drop in the ocean, insignificant."

"I dare to bet that as soon as the words 'Cloud Firmament Sect' are uttered, those super sects, imperial dynasties, hidden families, and even super forces from the other four domains will swarm out like cats smelling fish, vying for the Cloud Firmament Sect's inheritance."

"Even if you tell them you gained nothing, they absolutely won't believe you."
