Chapter 6 : The Fiancé 2 (2/2)

This temple was the starting point for all of the conquests made by the great Emperor. Min Ren conducted ceremonies here before conducting his expeditions that would span the whole Nine Worlds. Only an Immortal Emperor sect could possess this temple.

“Bang…”

As the entrance was opened, a gateway could be seen standing inside. Colored and tempered by god crystals, the hulk was covered by empty holes and Immortal Emperor carvings. The empty holes were there to be filled with meteoric crystals.

Meteoric crystals are formed by the natural spiritual power of heaven and earth; the very essence of what makes cultivation possible. Its main purpose was to operate gateways in order to traverse far distances. The warping distance was predicated by the quantity and quality of the meteoric crystals.

Unfortunately, the current gateway only has a few meteoric crystals inside. Once again, Li Qi Ye was saddened by how far the sect had fallen. In the past, this gateway, with an abundance of crystals, had brought many armies to far away places in the Nine Worlds.

They entered the gateway and in the blink of an eye, they warped to a different location.

The Grand Middle Territory was huge, spanning billions of miles. There were countless sects spanning across fifteen countries. However, there were gigantic monsters like Kingdoms and Ancient Kingdoms that spanned billions of miles by themselves.

If one wanted to cross a country by flying, unless he was an Enlightened Being or a Heavenly King, it would take many years. Any Named Hero or Royal Noble would be wise enough to not attempt this feat. Plus, the Grand Middle Territory was only one part of the Mortal Emperor World.

The Mortal Emperor World was also known as the Emperor Boundary or Emperor Country, and consisted of five different parts. In the north lies the Limitless Land; the south has the Chained Earth; the east forms the Hundred Cities; the west contains the Desolate Wasteland; and the middle was the Grand Middle Territory.

“Bang…”

Li Qi Ye and his companions arrived at the gateway of the Nine Saint Demon Gate.

As they stepped out, they felt that the natural spirit essence was denser than any place before. As far as the eyes could see, this was truly a heavenly sect.

The location of the Nine Saint Demon Gate spanned for millions of miles; it was filled with mountains and rivers, with majestic waterfalls and heavenly saint trees that could pierce the heavens, and with marble palaces floating and hiding in the clouds as far as the eyes could see. At the deepest part, you could see penetrating auras that shone radiantly across the land. One would believe that the origin of those aura lies a shocking heavenly treasure.

This was the picture of a powerful sect. With this atmosphere and location, no wonder it could rule over a country. In comparison, the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect was akin to a destitute old man at the end of his life.

“I see that it is Older Brother Mo, long time no see.”

When the three of them left the gateway, there was an older man leading his disciples for the welcoming party.

The man was a sectional leader of their sect. His last name was Fu; he was the owner of a cold and stoic face. His eyes contained a powerful gaze, and his body radiated a shining aura; his natural disposition was one that could cause fear in weaker souls.

Even though he was only a sectional leader, he possessed the strength of a Named Hero, that was evident by the aura exuded from his body. In the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, only an elder would be eligible for the Named Hero qualification.

“Is this your prime disciple?”

“That is correct, Li Qi Ye is the prime disciple of my sect.”

Protector Mo smiled bitterly. The body and talents of Li Qi Ye was nothing to be proud of.

“The trial, it is but a friendly competition. Brother Mo does not have to worry about it.”

Sectional Leader Fu showed a gentle smile.

“Only a trial, can’t reach the peak.”[2]

Li Qi Ye smiled back at Sectional Leader Fu and elegantly expressed his feelings.

Sectional Leader Fu ignored Li Qi Ye’s sly remark and conversed with Protector Mo instead:

“Brother Mo, please follow me.”

In his mind, a Named Hero arguing with a junior like Li Qi Ye would be unbecoming for a man of his status.

Protector Mo, on the other hand, glared angrily at Li Qi Ye.

[1] This is a saying Li Qi Ye and other people in this novel love to say, I think the meaning is literal enough to keep

[2] He uses it again here to imply that a trial is nothing to him
