Collective breakthrough

Thinking of this, everyone, led by Qin Wen, felt a stir in their hearts.

If that were the case, becoming an affiliate of the Five Elements Sect might not be entirely a bad thing.

Qin Wen cupped his hands and thanked Sect Leader Xiang Feng, the Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect, saying, "Many thanks for your guidance, Sect Master Xiang!"

Sect Leader Xiang Feng waved his hand, "This is what you all deserve."

"Alright, this matter is settled, I should be going!"

Qin Wen said, "Sect Master Xiang, why not stay here for a few more days? Seven days later, you can leave with us. Besides, it would allow us to fulfill our duties as hosts."

Sect Leader Xiang Feng stood up, "No!"

"The Hundred Sects Grand Ceremony is approaching."

"Many things need to be prepared in advance."

"I've already stayed in the Wenxian Sect long enough."

"I won't stay any longer."

"I'm leaving, there's no need for you to see me off."

It wasn't until Sect Leader Xiang Feng's figure completely disappeared from everyone's sight that an elder said bitterly, "Sect Master, although this Five Elements Sect Master has shown us goodwill, must our Wenxian Sect really become an affiliate of the Five Elements Sect?"

His eyes were filled with unwillingness.

Qin Wen, the Sect Master of the Wenxian Sect, heard this and sighed softly.

"If not for this, what else could we do?"

"Ultimately, our strength is inferior to others."

"The weak, no matter where they are, inherently have no human rights or fairness to speak of."

"To change all of this, given our potential, there is no hope left."

"I only hope that among the new generation of Disciples, someone can emerge who can transcend me."

As his words fell, everyone nodded in deep agreement.

"After this Hundred Sects Grand Ceremony, we must strengthen the motivation and cultivation of all the Disciples!"

However, they did not know that the Disciples on whom they placed great hopes were currently being poached furiously by someone.

...

Above a mountain range, Zhong Qing was traversing through the clouds!

His path to the Emperor Realm was long and uncertain.

He naturally couldn't expect the Disciple-grandsons taken by his fourteen Great Emperor Disciples to allow him to break through to the Great Emperor level in a short period.

He himself still needed to take more Disciples.

Only by doing both simultaneously could he greatly shorten the time it took for him to break through to the Emperor Realm.

As Zhong Qing continued forward, searching for targets he could take as Disciples.

Suddenly, he felt a commotion in the Small World.

Zhong Qing exclaimed in surprise.

He sensed that Medicine Red Dust and the others, who had come from the lower realm to the Second Heaven, had awakened.

As Zhong Qing opened the Small World.

Figure after figure leaped out of the Small World!

Medicine Red Dust, Dou Di, Qing Di, Ancient Emperor...

Their strength had clearly made great progress.

And what truly astonished Zhong Qing was the Twelve Demon Generals and Kylin Xiao Ga!

They had—become Emperors!

He clearly remembered that before they entered the Small World, these guys hadn't even reached the Saint Realm.

However, how long had it been? They had all become Emperors!

He, their master, was still stuck at the Quasi-Emperor Realm level.

Is this reasonable?!

"Hahahaha..."

A burst of wild laughter filled the sky.

Qilin Xiao Hei transformed into a ten-thousand-zhang Dharma Idol.

Flames blazed on his body, like a moving volcano, and his formidable might shook the sky.

"I feel incredibly strong right now!"

He strode with an arrogant gait, adapting to his surging power.

Xiao Ga flew up, his wings spread out, tens of thousands of feet wide, sweeping across the sky, casting large shadows on the ground.

"Big Brother, Big Brother, Xiao Ga is also very strong now!"

"I think even an ordinary Second Tribulation Emperor is no match for Xiao Ga."

The Twelve Demon Generals still retained their poultry-like appearance, with no changes to their bodies.

They still looked harmless, but the power hidden within them was enough to make Medicine Red Dust and the others tremble with fear.

They felt that if they were to clash, they would definitely be the ones crushed.

Originally, Medicine Red Dust and the others thought that their current improvement was already extremely powerful.

But there is no harm without comparison.

However, they also knew that while the Kylin and the others were indeed inherently heaven-defying, they shouldn't have reached this level.

The truly heaven-defying one was the Scarecrow!

The reason for everything was that the Scarecrow had given them some terrifying inheritance back then.

But what kind of inheritance could allow someone to have such terrifying improvement in a short period?

And their strength could undergo such earth-shattering changes?

It was only at this moment that they truly realized that the Scarecrow's terror had clearly exceeded their imagination.

At this moment, Zhong Qing's heart was also a little numb!

It was not difficult for him to see that the changes in the Twelve Demon Generals were brought about by the Scarecrow.

This guy!

He truly exceeded his expectations again and again.

The other party actually had this ability; for a moment, he even wanted the Scarecrow to help him improve his strength!

However, this thought was fleeting.

It was quickly suppressed by Zhong Qing.

He could see that the reason the Twelve Demon Generals had such an improvement was because the Scarecrow had passed on a complete Dao to them.

In other words, from now on, they could only continue on this path.

But Zhong Qing had his own Dao.

This kind of improvement was not suitable for him!

In the sky at this moment!

Qilin Xiao Hei was extremely excited as he ran and jumped.

"From now on, who dares to claim invincibility before me, who dares to speak of being undefeated before me!"

"Xiao Hei's single Kylin leg is destined to conquer all enemies above and below the heavens!"

Just as he was showing off, a stream of light swiftly passed through the distant sky!

This person was precisely Sect Leader Xiang Feng, the Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect, who had come out of the Wenxian Sect.

At this moment, Sect Leader Xiang Feng was a million miles away from the Kylin and the others, but how astonishing were the senses of a Second Rank Pseudo-Immortal.

As soon as Xiao Hei appeared, he sensed the Kylin's presence.

This made him feel excited all over.

"What a great fortune, to actually encounter a Kylin."

Pure-blood Kylin, even in the entire Second Heaven, was rare and was a proper Immortal Beast level existence.

In an instant, he regarded Qilin Xiao Hei as his own possession.

And after hearing Qilin Xiao Hei's extremely arrogant words, Sect Leader Xiang Feng smiled.

"This Kylin is truly arrogant!"

"However, the more so, the more I like it!"

"Alright, let me teach you a good lesson, let you know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is!"

"Emperor Realm cultivation is far from enough to allow you to roam the world freely."
