A Sect Master in the Divine Platform Realm?
"Brother Zou, do you think the Qian Yuan Sect has noticed our arrival?" Huo Huai'an, the sect leader of the Flying Immortal Gate Sect, asked with a loud laugh.
"They're still so far away, they probably haven't discovered it yet, right?" Zhang Jianfeng of the Cloud Sea Sect also stood at the bow of the ship, gazing into the distance. This position was getting closer and closer to Qian Yuan Island. If they were to travel alone using their Evasion Technique, they would arrive in no time. However, today was different from usual. It was a joint operation by several Sect of the North Sea, so naturally, they had to be more dignified.
"Do you think the Qian Yuan Sect would be too scared to show their faces if they saw us together?"
"If that's the case, it means they have something to hide. If Heart-Questioning, why would they be afraid to meet us?"
A young man at the Divine Platform Realm, aboard Tower Ship belonging to Yellow Wind Island, bowed deeply. "I entrust this matter to you elders this time!"
At the foot of North Spring Mountain, atop a mountain peak.
Gu Yuanqing looked around the island; there were only a few scattered Courtyard and houses, which seemed rather out of place for the image of a Sect.
The Heavenly Human Realm then expanded, and the entire Island began to change.
Grand Courtyard rose from the ground, and courtyards and pavilions sprang up out of thin air.
The straight Green Stone steps and Great Dao, and the winding paths, are faintly visible in the mist.
Aside from the lack of human presence, the Island now resembles a Residence of a celestial sect.
All of this was accomplished in the blink of an eye, leaving Li Chengyi, Li Shi'an, and the others dazzled.
It seemed as if they were the ones who built the thousand Island, and at the time they felt quite accomplished. But compared to Gu Yuanqing today, they were truly insignificant.
"I've set up some basic Formation in the Mountain, but without the Formation Base Artifact, they can only hold off Cultivator below the Divine Platform level for a short time. I'll imprint the method for refining these arrays onto a Jade Slip for you later. You can try refining them yourself. After all, it's too shabby for a Sect's Residence to lack even a protective Array Formation."
Thank you, Father.
After a while, the shape of the large ship in the distance became clearer and clearer.
"Is this the Cultivation Ship of the Cultivation World? It's so huge and moves so fast. If our Great Qian had such ships, it wouldn't take so long to travel to and from the surrounding seas."
Gu Yuanqing's Divine Sense swept across the ship. The Cultivator controlling the ship's Array Formation vaguely sensed something, was taken aback for a moment, but then seemed to feel nothing at all.
After a moment, Gu Yuanqing nodded slightly. "The overall structure of the Tower Ship is quite exquisite. Although the ships look different, their Array Formation formations are exactly the same. Moreover, they cannot be crafted by ordinary Void Heaven Cultivator, so they must have a different origin."
In the blink of an eye, the ships drew closer and closer, now less than thirty miles from the Island.
Standing atop the Purple Qi Palace's ship, Meng Tingfeng declared in a deep voice, "The Purple Qi Palace has come to pay their respects; Fellow Cultivator out your Qian Yuan Sect to meet us!"
"The Tianmeng Sect has come to pay a visit!"
"The Flying Immortal Gate has come to pay a visit!"
On the large ship, voices, Empowerment by the power of True Essence Secret Method, traveled dozens of miles to reach the Island.
"Father, let me handle this first!" Li Chengyi said.
Gu Yuanqing nodded slightly. If he were to take action directly, the whole thing would end abruptly, becoming meaningless and failing to achieve the purpose of training Li Chengyi, Li Shi'an, and the others.
Li Chengyi flew into the air, followed by Li Shi'an, Ji Dai, and others.
"Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar? You have all come from afar, and my Qian Yuan Sect warmly welcomes you. Please come aboard the island Fellow Cultivator a chat. I have prepared tea and water and am waiting for you to fulfill my duty as the host." Li Chengyi smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.
On the Tower Ship, Zou Zhixing pointed at Li Chengyi and asked, "Is that Li Shi'an who's speaking?"
"No, I've never seen this person before. The one behind him on the left is Li Shi'an, and the one on the right is Ji Dai. This person should be of higher status than Li Shi'an and Ji Dai, but he seems to be only at the Divine Platform level." Meng Tingfeng said, turning around.
Zou Zhixing nodded and said, "Indeed, they only have the Divine Platform cultivation level. Does the Qian Yuan Sect have no experts? Or are they looking down on us?"
Meng Tingfeng said, "They probably don't know that Master and the other Void Heaven Great Cultivator have come in person."
Zhou Zhixing remained silent.
From a nearby building, someone sneered, "Does your Qian Yuan Sect really not understand the rules? Even if we, the Seven Sects of the North Sea, are not as powerful as you Hidden World Sect, we are still sect leaders. The Qian Yuan Sect can't even send out a Void Heaven Cultivator, but instead sends such a junior at the Divine Platform Realm. What does that mean?"
"Indeed, the Seven Sects of the North Sea have always treated each other with courtesy. Isn't the Qian Yuan Sect's behavior a bit too much?" A voice came from another Tower Ship, clearly dissatisfied.
Li Shi'an stepped forward and said, "Everyone, this is the Sect Master of my Qian Yuan Sect, so please watch your words."
"Sect Master?"
"A Sect leader at the Divine Platform Realm?"
All the Void Heaven Cultivator turned their gazes to Li Chengyi. Their Divine Sense traveled dozens of miles, attempting to probe his Emptiness and Reality, but as soon as their Divine Sense approached within three feet of Li Chengyi, they vanished without a trace, as if they had disappeared into the sea.
Li Chengyi laughed and said, "What? Can't someone at the Divine Platform Realm become Sect Master?"
"No, it's just that it's a bit hard for me to believe that a Hidden World Sect would appoint a mere Divine Platform Realm cultivator as its sect Sect Master!" Zou Zhixing suddenly said.
His gaze scrutinized Li Chengyi. He could sense that Li Chengyi was indeed extraordinary. It was incredible that he, with his Void Heaven Peak cultivation, could not figure out his background. This meant that Li Chengyi must possess Law Treasure or Secret Method!
However, regardless of the circumstances, a Divine Platform is Divine Platform. The fact that Cultivator at the Divine Platform Realm became the Sect Master speaks volumes.
While the Sect Master may not be the most powerful person in the Sect, they must be one of the strongest, otherwise it would be difficult to gain the respect of the sect members.
Moreover, when the sect leader appeared, he was only accompanied by a few Divine Platform Cultivator, which shows that the Qian Yuan Sect is much weaker than expected!
Was Huang Wenzhong really killed by Emperor Qian Yuan Sect?
Zou Zhixing couldn't help but look suspiciously at the young people on the Tower Ship on Yellow Wind Island.
The young man noticed Zou Zhixing's gaze and, assuming it was a Zou Zhixing for him to speak, immediately leaped into the air and roared, "You're the Sect Master of the Qian Yuan Sect? Then let me ask you this: my father came to your Qian Yuan Island a month ago at your Sect's invitation, but he hasn't returned since, and his Life and Death is unknown. Do you have an explanation for this?"
Li Chengyi asked in surprise, "Who is your father?"
The young man said, "It is Huang Wenzhong, one of the Seven Sects of the North Sea Yellow Wind Island Lord!"
Li Chengyi smiled calmly, "The Yellow Wind Island Lord? I don't recall anyone like that ever visiting Qian Yuan Island. But a month ago, a group of thieves did indeed launch a nighttime attack on my Qian Yuan Sect, only to be easily killed by my Sect elders. Could this person be your father?"
