155: Boundary Breaker! A true and upright person!
Li Qi...you are not from this Realm, are you?
Li Qi's heart trembled when he heard this.
He had come from the Lower Realm by breaking through the Void Realm, and he had always been careful to hide his identity.
Wu Yinshi had also told Li Qi not to easily reveal his identity, because some people in the Upper Realm would specifically capture powerful individuals who came from the Lower Realm!
But Li Qi never expected that as soon as he entered the Four Seas Sect, he would fall into the Sect Leader's Dharma Eye, and the Sect Leader would even see through his origins at a glance. This turn of events greatly exceeded his expectations.
After a moment of silence, Li Qi could only grit his teeth and admit, "The Sect Leader is right, this junior indeed came from the Lower Realm by breaking through the Void Realm."
Sect Leader Xiang Zhi Zhou of the Four Seas Sect, however, appeared exceptionally happy, clapping his hands and laughing loudly, "Good, good, good! As expected!"
"Li Qi, you don't need to be nervous. We have no ill intentions. You can rest assured on that point."
Xiang Zhizhou looked at Li Qi with increasing satisfaction, his face showing unconcealed joy.
As an overlord, the Four Seas Sect was an extraordinary behemoth, and the Sect Leader taking on a Disciple was an even more extraordinary event. It would not only focus on the Disciple's Aptitude and talent but also investigate the Disciple's identity and background.
If someone of unknown origin were to be taken as the Sect Leader's Disciple, or even someone from a hostile force, the consequences would be unimaginable.
These people could very likely deliver the most fatal blow to the School during its most difficult time!
But Li Qi was different. The moment Xiang Zhizhou saw Li Qi, he saw through Li Qi's origins!
A World Breaker!
This was the general term in the Upper Realm for those who broke through the Void Realm from the Lower Realm!
Every World Breaker could be said to be a favored son of Heaven, a true Dragon among men and Phoenix among women, blessed with great Luck, and one of the very few top individuals in their Realm!
As long as World Breakers were given even a small opportunity... they would surely soar to great heights!
Moreover, such individuals had another very important characteristic: they had almost no background.
They came up alone, and to the people of the Upper Realm... a World Breaker's background was almost nonexistent!
What Xiang Zhizhou wanted was for Li Qi to have no background. He didn't have to worry about Li Qi being a hidden plant from other hostile forces.
Having no background, to a certain extent... meant being pure and reliable!
He could be nurtured with confidence!
With a World Breaker of astonishing Aptitude appearing before him, Xiang Zhizhou decided to take him as his Disciple with almost no hesitation.
"What good fortune, to have discovered a Heaven-Defying Aptitude World Breaker! Hahaha..."
Xiang Zhizhou laughed heartily, while Feng Wuyai, standing beside him, was too astonished to speak.
"A World Breaker?"
"Is he really a World Breaker?"
"That girl Feng Yuqin actually found me a World Breaker?"
"Why didn't she tell me? Did she not know either? Was it just pure Luck?"
"Such good Luck... my Feng Family actually failed to seize it?!"
Feng Wuyai felt a lump in his throat, unable to catch his breath.
Xiang Zhizhou patted Li Qi's shoulder and said with emotion, "Are you wondering how I saw that you are a World Breaker?"
Li Qi nodded and replied, "Please enlighten me, Revered Master."
Xiang Zhizhou then explained, "No need to be surprised. I have traversed the Four Seas for thousands of years, traveled through most of the Immortal Martial World, and naturally, I have seen some World Breakers."
"World Breakers all have some subtle and common characteristics. Although you tried to conceal it, I still saw it."
"In the past, those World Breakers were all in other Sects, which truly made me envious..."
"Today... my Four Seas Sect finally has its own World Breaker! What a joyous occasion! What a joyous occasion!"
The Aptitude of World Breakers was terrifying even in the Lower Realm, and they were blessed with great Luck. Even in the Upper Realm, they were extraordinary Geniuses. Once they grew up... they would be enough to support a Sect's millions of years of unwavering existence!
After Xiang Zhizhou's explanation, Li Qi also understood the reason, and could only shake his head with a bitter smile.
"Li Qi, how long have you been here since you broke through the Realm?"
"Three months."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Zhizhou and Feng Wuyai were once again shocked, and Feng Wuyai couldn't help but speak.
"After breaking through the Realm and ascending to this Realm, everyone has the strength of the Celestial Origin Realm. Are you saying you went from the Celestial Origin Realm to the Peak of the Divine Soul Realm in three months?!"
Li Qi nodded, "Yes."
Feng Wuyai almost couldn't maintain his composure, practically beating his chest and stomping his feet.
This speed of Realm Breakthrough almost only existed in dreams; he simply couldn't believe it.
After taking a deep breath, Feng Wuyai forced a fawning smile and pleaded with Xiang Zhizhou.
"Sect Leader, do you think this matter can be discussed?"
"Let Li Qi still come to my Feng Family. Whatever the conditions... we can discuss them!"
Xiang Zhizhou glanced at Feng Wuyai, then chuckled.
"Do you think that's possible?"
"Alright, no more unnecessary talk. There's something I need to make clear."
"Li Qi being a World Breaker is a matter of great importance. Only you and I should know; the news must not be leaked."
"If people from hostile forces find out, it will be troublesome."
Given the gravity of the matter, Feng Wuyai immediately responded, "Sect Leader, rest assured, this matter will absolutely not be leaked."
After Feng Wuyai left, Xiang Zhizhou said to Li Qi.
"Li Qi, come with me. I have a few things to give you."
