93: Chapter 93 Did Qi Sheng give the Sword Sect disciples special treatment?

On this day.

Above the three-thousand-li Guangling Lake, astonishing Concepts suddenly manifested. Above the great lake, it seemed as if a Saint had descended.

Indestructible golden light illuminated everything, manifesting various phenomena.

Some phenomena were like gods appearing in the world, with heavenly flowers falling.

Other phenomena were like divine mountains descending from the sky, majestic and towering.

There were also phenomena like colossal divine trees, obscuring the sky and sun.

There were all sorts of these, and they were the manifestations of Concepts left behind by Saint Qi when he attained the Dao, ceaseless for a thousand years.

Only at specific time points would these Concepts disperse into individual fragments, and it was only until this time point that one could enter Guangling Lake.

"Guangling Lake is open. Once you enter, be careful, everyone."

"Although the successors of the great sects from the other twelve states are also of the Righteous Path, if a dispute arises, they might not hesitate to kill. We Sword Cultivators should strike when it is time to strike; there is no need for any hesitation."

Yuan Tiankuo and Qin Shaoshang gave their instructions. Xie Zhixu, Fang Yu, and the dozen or so eager Disciples of the Qingwei Sword Sect had already been waiting for a long time, and they scattered at once.

"Neither of us is here for the first time, so let us prioritize the safety of our Junior Brothers." Yuan Tiankuo glanced at the countless fragmented Concepts, which were like countless Small Worlds, and sat cross-legged in mid-air.

Qin Shaoshang had no objections. The two of them, experts at the level of the Ten Heroes, had come specifically to ensure the safety of Xie Zhixu and the others.

"I wonder how many of the Junior Brothers who came this time will be able to obtain an Opportunity?"

The three-thousand-li Guangling Lake was vast, and the Concepts left behind by Saint Qi were even more numerous, but not everyone who came to Guangling Lake would have a harvest.

According to the patterns of Guangling Lake's opening in the past, generally, if one out of three people could obtain an Opportunity, it was considered a very good result.

If one's luck was poor, it might take five, or even ten Disciples to produce one lucky person who obtained an Opportunity.

Matters like Opportunities sometimes did not just depend on strength; they also depended on luck and whether the Concepts left by Saint Qi were compatible with oneself.

"Huh?" No sooner had Qin Shaoshang finished speaking than he saw Xie Zhixu collide into a Concept and disappear into thin air.

"Xie Zhixu is quite lucky..."

"Huh, Fang Yu has also entered a Concept?"

Even Yuan Tiankuo, who was usually taciturn, was attracted and exchanged a glance with Qin Shaoshang.

Having two Disciples attracted by Saint Qi's Concepts and receiving recognition was rare.

But before the two of them could react, the remaining dozen or so Disciples of the Qingwei Sword Sect all entered the Concepts like dragons entering the sea, exceptionally smoothly.

"What the hell?" Qin Shaoshang stood up abruptly: "How did they all get recognized by Saint Qi's Concepts?"

This should not be!

This made no sense!

Since the existence of Guangling Lake, the Qingwei Sword Sect had come here no less than dozens or hundreds of times, yet never once had it been like this, where all the Disciples could be recognized by Saint Qi's Concepts and all obtained Opportunities.

This was clearly unreasonable!

"Could it be that something has changed in this Guangling Lake?" Qin Shaoshang paced back and forth on the lake surface, "I will go and see if the people from the other great sects are the same."

Yuan Tiankuo stood up, and his phoenix eyes also showed a bit of gravity: "Be sure to look carefully."

Qin Shaoshang turned into sword light and left. He inspected the three-thousand-li Guangling Lake place by place. 'They are there, all there. Among the major sects, those who can be recognized by Saint Qi's Concepts and enter them are very few and far between!'

After circling Guangling Lake, Qin Shaoshang quickly returned, his brows locked in a frown: "Strange! The other sects are all within the normal range; those who obtain Opportunities are not even one in five!"

'Then why did all the Disciples of the Qingwei Sword Sect obtain Opportunities and receive recognition from Saint Qi's Concepts?'

The two looked at each other, both seeing the doubt and confusion on each other's faces!

To say that the people selected by the Qingwei Sword Sect were all talents and all had great luck, even they themselves did not believe it!

"Could it be..." Qin Shaoshang thought over and over, then suddenly spoke: "Is it that Saint Qi was on good terms with one of our Ancestral Masters, so the will he left in Guangling Lake opened a back door for our Disciples?"

This seemed to be the most reasonable explanation.

Although Saint Qi was not on Wangding Star, there must be his will within the Concepts he left behind.

If Saint Qi himself had traveled in the starry sky and made friends with a certain Ancestral Master of the Sword Sect, it was not impossible that he would give the Qingwei Sword Sect some convenience because of that Ancestral Master.

"That possibility cannot be ruled out." Yuan Tiankuo fell into deep thought.

After a long while, Yuan Tiankuo finally could not help it: "I will go and try."

If Saint Qi had truly opened a back door for the Qingwei Sword Sect, then he would certainly also be able to receive recognition from the Concepts.

"Good." Qin Shaoshang nodded heavily, with hidden anticipation.

Yuan Tiankuo said nothing, following his inner intuition, and walked on the lake. He had walked for only a moment when his heart suddenly jumped, 'Indeed!'

A Concept manifested before his eyes, emitting an indestructible light, and it faintly resonated with him.

This meant that this Concept recognized him, was compatible with him, and could be comprehended by him.

He did not enter this Concept and returned to Qin Shaoshang's side: "The situation seems to be exactly as you said!"

Qin Shaoshang was overjoyed: "You only walked these few steps and actually found a Concept compatible with you."

He slapped his palm with his fist: "It seems my guess was correct. Saint Qi must have formed a deep friendship with one of our Ancestral Masters, so he is taking extra care of our Disciples."

"Wait for me to go and try as well."

He also walked out, walking on the lake surface following his intuition. Before long, he also resonated with a Concept.

"What a huge loss, we should have brought more people from our Sword Sect this time!" Qin Shaoshang did not enter that Concept, just sighing and wringing his hands.

Judging by this situation, if the Sword Sect had just brought a dog, it would probably be able to obtain the Opportunity left by Saint Qi.

Because this was already too obvious; as long as one was from the Sword Sect, there was a Concept resonating with them, not a single one missed.

"I just don't know which Ancestral Master formed a friendship with Saint Qi, and they didn't even let the Sect Master know so that the Sect Master could be prepared." Qin Shaoshang still felt it was a pity.

One must know, those Concepts left by Saint Qi were not just for comprehending Profound Truths; they almost formed an Exotic Realm on their own. If one was lucky, they might even be able to obtain some precious medicines or spiritual objects.

'Strange!' Yuan Tiankuo fell into deep thought.

There were only a few Ancestral Masters of the Sword Sect, and all of them had existed for over a thousand years. They were all from Wangding Star, so even if they weren't close to Saint Qi, they should have known him.

If there was a friendship, then this friendship should have existed long ago. Why wait until now to let Saint Qi open a back door for the Sword Sect?

Moreover, for beings like the Sword Sect's Ancestral Masters and Saint Qi, they shouldn't even care about this Guangling Lake!

'Ancestral Master!'

'Could it be...'

Yuan Tiankuo's heart jumped violently.

There was more than one Ancestral Master of the Sword Sect, but there was only one who had just become an Ancestral Master!

'Ancestral Master Yu Xiu!'

Did Ancestral Master Yu Xiu do something in secret?

This thought could not be suppressed in Yuan Tiankuo's heart, and he felt it was incredible!

How could Ancestral Master Yu Xiu interfere with the Concepts left by Saint Qi?

He couldn't possibly have found Saint Qi, fought him, and forced Saint Qi to open a back door for the Sword Sect's Disciples, right?
