Chapter 189: A Scene from the Exchange Competition, the Lord of Dong3 Huang Star, and the Great Crimson Heavenly Palace

La Zang remained silent.

Ji Jingqiu didn't take the initiative to approach and spoil the moment.

But Fat Tiger, like a curious cat, jumped forward as if he had discovered a new toy. He cautiously approached, tilting his head to observe from a distance.

Ji Jingqiu didn't bother with the foolish tiger, knowing it wouldn't die anyway.

After confirming that La Zang's source separation was complete, he exited the inner world. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Ning Fengyuan's deep and profound gaze, as if it would swallow him whole."

"Kid, have you felt the call of this sword?" Ning Fengyuan asked in a deep voice.

...

Regarding this, he had actually discussed it with several Divine Lords.

"They've gone to participate in the exchange competition organized by several top-tier civilizations. They should be back next week," Diao Xingyun shrugged, "As for Shen Xin, she's returned to the Lionheart Dao."

"Speaking of the ancestral land, does the Ji Clan still acknowledge it? Has anyone from the clan organized ancestral worship ceremonies in recent years?"

After the matter of Daozang was made known to the world, they finally put down this heavy burden and returned to the main lineage of the Ji Clan.

The Ancient Road was vast, and they might not encounter each other. The dangers of this battle had been repeatedly emphasized by their elders.

Zhang Buzhou's chest heaved like a bellows as his first punch missed. He took a step forward, and his second punch was domineering and powerful, like the scorching midday sun in the sky. It carried the force of a mountain-toppling wave, and the heat from his fist distorted the space around him!

"Hey, where are Yin and the others?"

"A descendant of the Ji Clan, please convey a message from me to the heir of the World-Honored One's lineage."

Chi Ji chuckled, "The heir of the War God's lineage is going to 'form alliances' again?"

Yue Yourong spoke softly, "The gathering of the Four Yangs... It seems this guy has also broken through his limits recently."

Ji Jingqiu's cultivation had reached a bottleneck.

This was an opportunity to enter the Nine Provinces ahead of schedule!

Qian Chong quickly explained, "My master sensed the aura of the Southern Emperor's predecessor months ago, so he went to search for him in the void. He hasn't returned since."

"Zhang Sandao is also on the team."

The vassal king warrior of Phoenixfall Kingdom, Longbei, was one of the three vassal kings sent to the Bosa Demiplane to surround and kill Ji Jingqiu.

As soon as Ji Jingqiu arrived at Dong3 Huang Star, he was picked up by his senior uncle, Hong Kong, who had been waiting for a while. With the federal government's green light, it only took an hour to complete the process, which would normally take even Celestial Beings several days.

Ji Jingqiu nodded slightly.

Ji Jingqiu looked at the figure who walked away, and then, at the call of Senior Xuan Yi, he took a step forward and drew out Qingzhu.

The Ji Clan.

This exchange competition, organized by several top-tier civilizations from the Holy Light Star Cluster, was ultimately held on the territory of the Sanctuary Civilization. The purpose was clear.

He was the only vassal king warrior who survived by not encountering Ji Jingqiu.

And just a few months later, this person had achieved it.

"Our lineage is not thriving, and among the direct descendants, there's only me, a grandmaster, and a junior sister. Our master is unavailable, and the grandmaster is always busy with the heavenly palace affairs, so he can't spare the time. That's why this task falls on me!"

The sword's resonance caused Qingzhu to resonate, and its body trembled slightly. An internal transformation, akin to a warrior's metamorphosis, was taking place within.

"Even in his normal state, this person's strength is not to be underestimated. If anyone from the clan encounters him, be cautious. If necessary, surrender to keep your life for the ancient road of inheritance!" Yue Wukong spoke solemnly, turning to instruct those behind him.

Yue Yourong scanned the surroundings and scoffed, "The competition is underway, and the team leader isn't even here!"

"I'm surprised by how quickly your perception has improved, Mu Guang. You described a strong vassal king warrior as weak."

From this moment on, he was the nominal master of Dong3 Huang Star, with the authority to appoint and dismiss any member of the administrative system.

As Ji Jingqiu left the conference room of the city hall, he still felt a bit dazed.

Ji Anquan's expression remained unchanged, but he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

As the banquet officially began, Ji Jingqiu was pushed onto the stage to say a few words.

The large-scale "deployment" was tentatively scheduled for a month later.

"Thank you for your assistance, Senior Xuan Yi!" Ji Jingqiu expressed his sincerity.

"Indeed, easily suppressing a vassal king warrior without even using his most skilled sword techniques... This person is definitely a young powerhouse of my level!"

During this time, with Qingyang Ancestor's efforts, they first obtained the federal government's approval, then personally visited the Ji Clan. With the help of an insider from the Ji Clan, they gained control of Dong3 Huang Star.

Yao Heshan was momentarily stunned.

He didn't bother arguing with the madman and turned to leave, feeling that this trip was nothing but bad luck! Just then, a woman's voice, high and mighty, came from behind."

Zhang Buzhou exhaled, and his pure yang energy surged forth, like the rising sun, making the surrounding light brighter with each unfolding of his fist. The clash of his fist energy and the invisible sword intent erupted in a dazzling brilliance.

As the clan elders had said, it was highly likely that Ji Jingqiu had gained the favor of the Cangqing lineage and became one of their direct descendants, a position far beyond that of an 'outer disciple' like us."

This person was clearly not the trump card of the Yanhuang Federation.

"Senior Mu, please forgive my late arrival."

Before leaving.

As the moment of execution alongside Fang Xiaoru approached, Zheng Jun gained the ability to extend the nation's lifespan and receive a reward by satisfying the requirements of the term.

Under the towering tree, a man dressed as a wanderer knelt on one knee.

Ji Jingqiu had a vague feeling that the senior was grieving over the departure of He Senior.

The Eight Palaces, when viewed from the perspective of the Yanfu Province, are also considered hegemonic-level powers, and the fact that the Great Crimson Heavenly Palace is among them, makes it even more worthy of being called the Nine Palaces, a testament to their formidable strength!

As the book "Daming: Carrying the Coffin to Death, Zhu Di was Driven Mad by Me" unfolds, a powerful punch is unleashed! When the martial artist from the Federation takes action, a dazzling and brilliant light emanates from their body, as if every inch of flesh and blood has been transformed into a scorching sun, dazzling and splendid, like a miniature sun!

"I really don't have time to participate..." Is he serious about this?

Has the World-Honored One lineage produced a successor? His face darkened at this thought.

After handling the matters in Dong 3 Huang Star, he will return to the Nine Provinces and ask Mu Aunt if she has any other arrangements."

Is this person's progress too fast, or is Ji Jingqiu's progress too fast?!

Ning Fengyuan's face darkened.

From this moment on, Ji Jingqiu is the Star Lord of Dong 3 Huang Star.

Sanctuary Civilization. "You said earlier that this person named Zhang Sandao is actually very weak?"

Ji Anquan was taken aback. The successor of the World-Honored One lineage?

Before Ji Anyu could speak, another elder casually explained, "If we're really going to form an alliance, why not choose this unpolished jade? At the very least, we should select someone from the legitimate lineage to show the Ji Clan's respect for him."

...

All objectives in the Four Guardian Stars have been achieved, and it's time for him to leave.

[How has the Great Crimson Heavenly Palace been developing in recent years?]



Ji Jingqiu scanned the room but didn't see the figures of Yin Wushuang and Yue Wuyong, which surprised him.

After discussing this matter until now, they finally have some clarity.

Diao Xingyun was surprised, and just as he was about to ask if this wasn't the time for Zhang Bu Zhou's encounter, he immediately understood what the other person meant.

This person isn't weak among the Vassal Kings.

If the timing had been different, the two clans would have officially sent an envoy to the Yanhuang Federation.

The elders present sighed as they witnessed this scene, gaining a new understanding of this young elder.

On the stage, about to engage in combat, is a martial artist from the Yanhuang Federation and the Phoenixfall Kingdom.

"He's not my friend, but this person is indeed the legendary Zhang Sandao?! He's easily suppressing his opponent now, and even if it were me, I wouldn't have the confidence to win!"

Runes intertwine in the void, forming chains of runic locks, supporting each other, and ultimately, four divine suns are woven above the young man's head, their fiery light overwhelming, and their scorching blood energy is awe-inspiring!

The young man, with the divine suns above his head, takes a step forward, his gaze calm and restrained, no longer carrying the arrogance of the past.

Perhaps, when we meet again in a few years, someone will have remained on the journey, existing only in our drunken reminiscing.

Below the Nine Clans, I won't accept! One after another, the memorials reached the imperial court, infuriating Zhu Di.

Ji Jingqiu received some good news.

"Yue Wumu beheaded, Wen Tianxiang starved to death; and in our dynasty, Jing Qing was skinned, Tie Xian was deep-fried, Your Majesty's heavenly might is unfathomable, surpassing Qin Hui and the Yuan Dynasty!"

The other elders nodded in agreement.

As expected, most of them will meet again either on the Ancient Road or after the Ancient Road War, when they return to the Federation.

Apart from a few places where progress is slow, he has no more room for improvement.

Xuan Yi...

Her beauty is astonishing, a testament to the Creator's favoritism, with the only flaw being the arrogance in her brows.

He even told me his name! After all these years of trying to get his attention, this old man has never once acknowledged him! Ning Fengyuan silently turned and left, his hands behind his back, his back slightly hunched, a once-great Grandmaster, his departing figure exuding a sense of desolation.

[When you see me in the future, just lower your eyebrows by four points.]



"Dong 3 Huang Star..." An elder frowned, "This place is, after all, our ancestors' ancestral land. How can we let outsiders take it?"

Dozens of surrounding civilizations gathered here, and the exchange competition had already been going on for two days.

"Brother Ji! Tonight, we drink until we're drunk and go home!"

Even with the right to explore, without the Federation's authorization, the Dragon Tiger Dao Ground won't be able to enter for some time! Ji Jingqiu replied seriously, "Thank you, Elder Yao, but I have a tight cultivation schedule and won't be able to spare the time for now."

An internal meeting about whether to hand over the control of Dong 3 Huang Star is taking place during the afternoon tea of several Ji Clan elders.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving in the capital, I learned that my relative is named Fang, and the Prince of Yan in the north is raising the flag of rebellion, besieging the city. Emperor Jianwen passed away, and as I count the days, I am one of the Ten Clans.

Ji Jingqiu entered the banquet hall and exchanged greetings with the martial artists he had fought before, including Duan Xuanji, Pei Jing, Li Chengfeng, Song Chongshan, and Yue Qingtian...

"Elder, under the leadership of my master, the Great Crimson Heavenly Palace has successfully entered the ranks of the Nine Palaces!"

Chi Ji slightly raised her chin, interrupting him again, "If the successor of the World-Honored One lineage had come this time, and he was willing to kneel and kiss my feet, showing his submission, I might have considered it."

Within the Federation camp.

Such strength is considered exceptional among the Vassal Kings!

Another elder coughed, "The previous illegitimate daughter, didn't she also have an illegitimate granddaughter? The one from the Lou Clan."

Yue Wukong also nodded in agreement.

...

"This might be our only chance in this lifetime!"

The true self... Ji Anquan sighed inwardly, it's over, even without the exchange, I can tell this woman isn't normal.

"In my opinion, we should go with the flow and grant Dong 3 Huang Star to Ji Jingqiu. I won't hide it from you all, I, and the elders of the Yanshan Clan, have some good karma with him. This young man is gentle, respectful, and has a sense of chivalry, worthy of the Ji Clan's early gesture of goodwill."

"Additionally, the Dragon Tiger Dao Ground has come with past favors. How do the elders plan to refuse?"

...

[The Nine Palaces? You mean the previous Eight Palaces?]



Unexpectedly, Long Qingyang declined on Ji Jingqiu's behalf.

The young man in ornate robes spoke with a determined gaze, "Indeed, he's a strong one, and his inheritance is very interesting. Although his internal energy isn't of the Holy Light lineage, it's quite close!"

Ji Anyu spoke with a serious expression, "Don't be fooled by the fact that the Dragon Tiger Dao Ground currently has the right to explore one of the gates. The transfer of exploration rights requires at least a few months of stability."

The journey here was to strengthen the relationship between Ji Jingqiu and the others.

As the sound of the blade ringing out subsided, the long sword sealing Hela once again quieted, no longer paying attention to Ji Jingqiu, and fell into a deep slumber.

At this moment, with a wave of his hand, a pitch-black sword soul appeared, towering dozens of meters high, with the long sword propped against the ground, suppressing the arena. An invisible pressure flowed towards the opposite side like a stream.

This person had already proven himself by surpassing other martial artists, who could only watch his tail lights and strive to catch up.

Just then, without waiting for Ji Jingqiu's response, Long Qingyang took the lead and refused on his behalf, "Let's wait. This young man will be busy next, and I'm afraid he won't have time to participate."

What a guy, no enjoyment at all, and now they have to suffer together.

Ji Anquan ignored the sarcasm in his words and said seriously, "Perhaps we were both glorious in the past, but at this moment, we can't help but consider the problems we will face in five years! Your Majesty..."

The ancestor of this branch of the Ji family did not like to manage affairs, so he handed over the responsibility to Ji Anyu, who took on the role of the clan elder within the Ji family, achieving a meteoric rise within the clan.

Nine Provinces, Floating Hell Province.

This time, the invitation was issued in the name of Ji Jingqiu personally, and the Dragon Tiger Dojo was in charge, almost including all the martial artists who had interacted with Ji Jingqiu and competed in the tournament.

This crazy woman, constantly kneeling and licking his feet, can't she communicate normally?

Yin Wushuang was speechless, looking away, and no longer paying attention to this person.

Very well, worthy of being a direct descendant of the Holy Light God System, her ability to influence and persuade others has indeed penetrated every word and every sentence.

Diao Xingyun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Another clan elder put down his teacup and wrote lightly, "If Ji Jingqiu can really obtain Senior He Shuai's Daozang, that would be a good thing. At least it's stronger than Daozang never finding a master. By giving in a little at this moment, we can also consider it as a good deed. This young man's future is not to be underestimated, and he is almost certain to become a Celestial Being. Recently, he may have even gained the favor of the Divine Lord."

One of the clan elders showed some interest and said, "We have to repay the Dragon Tiger Dojo's favor, and we also need to win over the young people. What else is there to say? I think we should leave this matter to Anyu to handle, and it will also be a good opportunity to temper the young man."

Didn't he refuse Ji Jingqiu's three swords a few months ago?!

"My name is Qian Chong, from the Great Crimson Heavenly Palace. This time, I came to pay a visit to Master Mu specifically under the orders of my family teacher."

Once the martial artists above the Celestial level from the Great Universe enter the Nine Provinces, they will be marked with a distinct "label" and then hunted down by the strong of the Nine Provinces.

"Speaking of which, aren't you afraid of objections from the Phoenixfall Kingdom?" Yue Wukong asked with a chuckle.

Yin Wushuang fell silent for a moment and said, "It's difficult. This step is harder than I imagined. I need more tempering."

The old man dressed as an archbishop had a strange look in his eyes and clicked his tongue.

Diao Xingyun paused and chuckled.

When they spread the news of Ji Jingqiu's performance in the Cang Qing Temple back to the clan, it immediately caused a huge stir.

Sanctuary Civilization.

Very strong!

Mu Qing's voice carried a hint of coldness.

"The laws of the Qin Dynasty punished three tribes, and the rules of the Han Dynasty only governed five sects. Now, Your Majesty is exterminating ten tribes, which shows that Your Majesty's talent far surpasses that of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu. Truly a once-in-a-million emperor!"

The martial artist sent by the Federation had a cold side profile, and countless divine radiances emanated from his pores, engraved with intricate legal rune patterns.

...

Yin Wushuang nodded) "As the Great Martial Arts Tournament approaches, everyone is starting to show their strength."

Yue Wukong looked at the young man with the nickname Zhang Sanzhou on the arena and wondered, "Can this person really block Ji Jingqiu's three swords? Is it his normal three swords, or the sword technique that slays the three gods?"

Yin Wushuang had a special physique. Once he comprehended the divine intent within the sword, his strength would rival that of the senior at the Heavenly Sword Dojo in Jade Capital.

...

In the Great Ming Dynasty, a distant relative was a great scholar. The family used connections to send him to study under the scholar, hoping he could find a way to make a living.

On this night of separation, everyone would enter their final seclusion to prepare for the upcoming journey to the Nine Provinces.

This was the place where Mu Juncheng, on behalf of the Mu family, hosted a banquet for various parties.

The crowd chased after Ji Jingqiu, determined to get him drunk and make him pass out on the table.

The old man suddenly became interested and said, "Is there a possibility of matchmaking between the two? That way, Ji Jingqiu can also be considered half of the Ji family."

Currently, only the seeded players enjoy this honor.

Yue Yourong asked, "Before the Great Martial Arts Tournament, can you break through and see the divine?"

...

Yue Yourong comforted her, "It's okay. Don't feel pressured. Even if you see the divine, there won't be much difference in the eyes of that freak. Whether you see the divine or not, the result will be the same."

This branch of the Ji family, led by Ji Anyu, was a branch of the Ji clan. For thousands of years, they had been faithfully guarding the ancestral land and the responsibility of protecting the Daozang.

"It's a must! We may not have another chance to gather like this for who knows how long. Tonight, we must get him drunk!"

"Hmm... I think it's possible!" Ji Anyu casually retracted his hand.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, they heard a group of people shouting to get him drunk. Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but feel speechless. After greeting everyone, he found Diao Xingyun and his group.

First Temple.

The sound of the sword ringing out came again.

He ground his teeth, unsure of what to say for a moment. Truly, he had no words to say.

"The ancestral land? Who among you has gone back to pay respects recently?" An elder was unconcerned, although they shared the same opinion, their attitudes were different. "The main issue lies in the inheritance of Senior He Shuai's Daozang. The Dragon Tiger Dojo, in the name of Ji Jingqiu, has 'claimed' Dong3 Huang Star. Is it with the intention of obtaining the Daozang, or is it that Ji Jingqiu truly misses his old home and plans to make his hometown his future dojo?"

He originally wanted to meet Yue Yourong to try and imprint the essence of the Heavenly Will Dao Body.

Indeed, could a woman who claims to be the heir of the Holy Prince be normal? "Your Majesty Chi Ji, I want to represent the Federation and form an alliance with you. For example, this journey to the Nine Provinces, or even a strategic alliance on the scale of the entire Great Universe..."

Standing beside him was the Western Emperor of the Demon Eye Empire. He said, "The news came from the Phoenixfall Kingdom, and it should be authentic. However, which type it is, we don't know. Additionally, this incident happened a few months ago."

They specifically came here to join Ji Jingqiu, not only to lower their brows but also to observe the Federal Security bureau’s true martial artists over the past ten thousand years.

Looking at the slightly awkward young man on the stage, it seemed he was not good at handling such situations. The crowd couldn’t help but feel a bit dazed, as if the scene of yesterday was vividly before their eyes. They saw someone suddenly drunk, raising a glass in a toast, his face sincere as he said—

That day, he and Ji Jingqiu fought a battle. If they continued, it would definitely take more than three blows!

That night, the lights on the top floor of the Celestial Building were all aglow, the crowd celebrating until midnight before gradually dispersing, each bidding their farewells.

So much for a divine journey.

“And you… Ji Tianhang’s successor, the young man who cultivated the 【Celestial Being Chess Sword Diagram】led a team of seven people, without a partner and with Rong, in the squad.”

At the same time, the four divine yangs on his head emitted a dangerous aura! This scene caused many martial artists to glance sideways.

A middle-aged man beside him whispered, “Your Highness, this is too clumsy!”

He bowed to Qingyang and left after a respectful salute.

The Emperor of the West swept his eyes over the Federal Security Bureau’s formation, regretting, “It’s a pity Ji Jingqiu isn’t here.”

The Federation has yet to come into contact with the true dominant force of the Nine Provinces.

Ji Anyu pondered, “This matter should be discussed, but not now, rather after he returns from the Nine Provinces. It’s the time for martial arts to rise, how can one be infatuated with personal feelings, one should rise with vigor!”

The Holy Light Star—002 Main Cathedral.

On the way back to Dong3huang star.

Ji anyu smiled brightly, “The junior will certainly handle it properly.”

Evening light also appeared astonished, hard to believe.

“Me?” Ji Jingqiu thought, “I’ll go back to Dong3 huang star to handle some matters, then prepare.”

Ji Jingqiu was slightly stunned, thinking of something, then nodded, “Actually, he is quite powerful. The inheritance of the Pure Yang Dao is very meaningful, looking forward to meeting other Pure Yang daoists in the future.”

On the hall, the woman in a white robe and red feet stood proudly, overlooking the young man on the stairs below.

This arrogance did not diminish her charm, but rather added a wildness.

Ji Jingqiu shook his head, “No, but Senior Xuan Yi bestowed me a secret technique.”

Diao Xingyun gazed down at the azure city under the night sky, curiously, “You say, from the top of the Jade Capital, the view is the same, right?”

If not, then cultivate with peace, await the ancient path battle for over a month.

The Western Emperor spoke mildly, “Compared to a minor civilization and the secret of the Holy Light Plane, which is more important, which should we weigh?”

“What a pity, they didn’t compete, couldn’t come.”

That night.

“Back then, this venerable one will offer his blood, to worship my father!”

One could say.

“What are you planning to do next, Ji Jingqiu?”

“Another competition?” Ji Jingqiu asked in confusion.

In the Black Sun Tribe’s formation.

“The Ji clan’s descendant, you seek me out, how can you be so shameless, not to be a good deceiver in the future!

“Indeed!” In the tone, there was a hint of arrogance.

This legendary force... perhaps cannot be underestimated! In the Holy Spirit Clan's formation.

Standing on the building with the Four Guardians, below the Jade Capital, one can overlook half of the Azure Sovereign’s appearance.

Ji and Shan watched Ji Jingqiu in this pose, couldn't help but smile, showing the elder’s kindness, “If you have time, you can accompany me to the War Department for a briefing, the Federated Security Bureau will nominate seed competitors to enter the Nine Provinces’ oasis, to meet the local forces.”

Ji Jingqiu was slightly puzzled, thinking of something, then nodded, “Actually, he is quite capable. The inheritance of the Pure Yang dao is very significant, looking forward to meeting other Pure Yang daoists in the future.”
