Chapter 282 The Sect-Supporting Divine Sword
You survived a terrible ordeal!
Master of Formations!
A heart that cherishes talent!
That's some serious talent!
Looking at Wei Tianxiong's profile, Li Qingqiu's impression of him skyrocketed.
Qingxiao Sect is not lacking in geniuses, but it lacks research and development talents in various fields. Qingxiao Sect is particularly lacking in formations, and Mingguang's comprehension in this area is clearly insufficient.
No wonder Wei Tianxiong didn't immediately kill Shen Yue and the other two; it turns out he possesses the destiny of "cherishing talent".
The combination of these two destinies means that Wei Tianxiong can create many more array formation talents for the Qingxiao Sect.
"The ruins left by the Taijue Sect are full of traps and mechanisms. Even with my full cultivation, it would be difficult to explore to the end. The three of them have only gone halfway. The truly dangerous place is still deeper inside."
Wei Tianxiong adjusted his mindset and spoke.
Shen Yue frowned; they had only gone halfway.
Speaking of which, the palace where they resurrected Wei Tianxiong had another door.
Li Qingqiu's gaze towards Wei Tianxiong had changed, making Wei Tianxiong very uncomfortable.
what happened?
Li Qingqiu noticed his confusion and asked, "Why would the Taijue Sect build such a dangerous ruined palace?"
Wei Tianxiong replied, "Of course, it's to hide their sect's sacred sword. The Taijue Sect knew it was going to perish, so it built such palaces in advance to preserve its legacy and protect its sacred sword. It is said that those palaces are actually a city, a giant city buried underground."
“During the hundreds of years I was sealed away, I would occasionally hear some voices. I suspect that something even more terrifying is hidden inside. Although you defeated me, you are ultimately only at the Spiritual Consciousness Realm. Forcing your way in would be a near-death experience, and might even bring disaster to this land.”
“The Taijue Sect is not as righteous as our Shenyuan Sect; they are actually an evil sect.”
Sealed for hundreds of years?
Is it just the Spiritual Consciousness Realm?
Shenyuan Religion?
Zhu Yan listened with a solemn expression, her heart filled with shock.
Who exactly is this person?
In fact, it wasn't just Li Qingqiu who was wary of other cultivation sects; the other high-ranking members of the Qingxiao Sect felt the same way. They didn't want everything they currently controlled to be taken away by others.
The Zhu family had long since tied themselves to the Qingxiao Sect, and Zhu Yan's vision was already focused on the overall development of the Qingxiao Sect.
She realized that what Li Qingqiu had told her was indeed more important than what she had come to ask for.
At the same time, she felt excited, as she felt that she and Li Qingqiu were getting closer.
As Qingxiao Sect grew larger and larger, the image of its leaders became increasingly lofty in the eyes of the disciples. However, only they knew that there were also distinctions of kinship among the leaders.
The power of Qingxiao Sect was always held by Li Qingqiu and his junior brothers and sisters. Apart from them, Zhu Yan's power was the most important.
The Zhu family always wanted Zhu Yan to take things further, and even hoped that Zhu Yan would marry Li Qingqiu. Zhu Yan stopped this, but sometimes she couldn't help but wonder if it would be better if she and Li Qingqiu got married.
Reason told Zhu Yan that she couldn't do that; doing so would only destroy Qingxiao Sect.
She has now put aside those inappropriate thoughts and is wholeheartedly devoted to the sect.
Wei Tianxiong continued to recount his understanding of the Taijue Sect.
A thousand years ago, the Taijue Sect dominated the Nine Provinces and even threatened the cultivation forces in the Tianming Sea. As a result, it attracted the siege of the Tianming Sea, which severely damaged its strength. Afterwards, demons from the north went south and ravaged the Nine Provinces, and the Taijue Sect was completely destroyed.
In the Tianming Sea, there are still descendants of the Taijue Sect who fear the land of Kyushu like a tiger and dare not set foot there to this day.
Li Qingqiu and the other two learned more and more about the Taijue Sect.
They slaughtered sects, forged ghost weapons, and even enslaved other cultivation sects.
Such mechanisms left behind by a cultivation sect must be dangerous and malicious.
"Don't they covet the legacy of the Taijue Sect? As descendants, they should know best how powerful the Taijue Sect's legacy is," Zhu Yan couldn't help but ask.
Wei Tianxiong glanced at her and snorted, "Precisely because they are descendants of the Taijue Sect, they know that the so-called inheritance is a trap."
He then looked at Shen Yue and said, "You thought I was chasing you, but actually I was saving you. If I hadn't broken through the barrier and led you out, who knows what would have happened next."
Shen Yue frowned. He thought back carefully, and it seemed that the situation was indeed as described. The collapsed path to safety was truly inexplicable; it turned out to be Wei Tianxiong's doing. Li Qingqiu also didn't expect that the Taijue Sect had left behind such a huge hidden danger.
Wei Tianxiong seemed to sense Li Qingqiu's worries, so he said, "As long as you don't go in, nothing will happen. After all, a thousand years have passed, and the Taijue Sect hasn't caused any trouble."
Li Qingqiu nodded and then said, "From now on, you will stay in Qingxiao Sect. There is something I need to tell you: within the next hundred years, Qingxiao Sect will not take the initiative to contact Tianming Sea. Your great revenge will have to wait."
Wei Tianxiong rarely smiled and said, "Your idea is correct. Your sect's foundation is not strong enough. If the sects of Tianming Sea find out, it will definitely be devoured. As for my grudge, it is not about one person, but about an entire force. I am not in a hurry at all."
Zhu Yan finally understood that this person was burdened with a deep-seated blood feud and had been recruited by the sect leader.
Li Qingqiu began to introduce Zhu Yan to Wei Tianxiong, and also explained the duties of Tiangong Hall.
Wei Tianxiong was surprised that Qingxiao Sect had set up a special hall for studying unorthodox methods, which made him very interested in the structure of Qingxiao Sect.
"From now on, you will work at Tiangong Hall," Li Qingqiu said directly.
He didn't ask Wei Tianxiong to create anything; he believed that his appreciation for talent would come in handy.
Wei Tianxiong had no objection to his arrangements; he just wanted to find a place to rest.
Li Qingqiu looked at Zhu Yan and said, "You will arrange for him to stay. Remember, his identity cannot be told to anyone, including the other hall masters. Anyone who wants to know about him must go through me."
Zhu Yan stood up excitedly and said, "I understand, I will definitely protect his identity."
Wei Tianxiong clearly has a powerful background. Li Qingqiu must trust her to put such a person under her command. How could she not be excited?
Li Qingqiu waved, indicating that they could leave.
And so, Zhu Yan led Wei Tianxiong down the mountain.
After they left, Shen Yue looked at Li Qingqiu, frowned, and asked, "Wouldn't it be inappropriate to leave him in the Heavenly Craft Hall?"
Without a Spirit Realm expert present at Tiangong Hall, Shen Yue worried that Wei Tianxiong might be up to something.
In his eyes, Wei Tianxiong was definitely a demonic cultivator, and no matter how righteous Wei Tianxiong claimed the Divine Origin Sect was, he didn't believe it.
Li Qingqiu smiled and said, "I think Tiangongtang can help Wei Tianxiong integrate into Qingxiao Sect more quickly."
Shen Yue raised an eyebrow and asked, "Oh? So it wasn't because Zhu Yan happened to be here?"
"of course not."
Li Qingqiu rolled her eyes at Shen Yue. Who did this guy think she was?
Is he really that unreliable?
Shen Yue stood up and said, "The matter of the Taijue Sect can be put aside for the time being, but the commotion of your battle is too great. I'm afraid it will attract other people and cause unnecessary trouble. Why don't I personally take charge?"
Li Qingqiu shook his head and said, "There's no need. Have you forgotten Wei Tianxiong's words? Even if I go in, I'll be courting death."
After hearing this, Shen Yue felt it made sense, so he said no more.
Li Qingqiu added, "You still need to work hard to become stronger. I won't bother you too much in the meantime. I've always seen you as the sect's sharpest weapon."
Hearing this made Shen Yue feel happy, and the frustration brought on by today's defeat subsided considerably.
"Hmph, I will become stronger. Sooner or later, I will challenge Wei Tianxiong."
Shen Yue smiled and left after saying those words.
Li Qingqiu watched his retreating figure, a smile appearing on her face.
This old guy is so easy to fool!
When only Li Qingqiu remained in Lingxiao Courtyard, he began to ponder deeply.
Tianminghai had already entered his field of vision. Although he said he wouldn't provoke it, he couldn't just do nothing.
Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to survive a hundred battles.
When dealing with enemies, Li Qingqiu prefers to gather intelligence first and only take action when he is absolutely certain of victory.
Perhaps we could assign some tasks to the Dark Hall, especially to Mo Jiuhong, who possesses the [Way of Infiltration] destiny.
However, Mo Jiuhong's cultivation level is too low. If he were to die on the way to sea, it would be a great injustice.
