Chapter 1439 - 1440: Li Yuan’s Invitation

Chapter 1439: Chapter 1440: Li Yuan’s Invitation

Wang You is a respectable opponent.

Even though, on that day, Wang You admitted personally that he was defeated.

However, what Xiao Tianyu said was also correct. After all, after both of them proved their path to divinity, they didn’t fight. Although it was because of Xiao Tianyu that Wang You attained divinity.

But if there was no battle, there was no distinction of victory or defeat.

"Brother Xiao, aren’t you being too modest?" Li Yuan smiled nonchalantly and said, "According to rumors, in that battle, Wang You admitted himself that he lost. I’m not sure why Brother Xiao..."

"Prince Li, you also know it’s a rumor, and rumors can be true or false, correct?" Xiao Tianyu interrupted bluntly, not understanding why Li Yuan insisted on praising him while belittling Wang You.

Moreover, given Li Yuan’s status, Xiao Tianyu believed Li Yuan surely knew some secrets. After the two of them proved their paths, they didn’t make another move. Why did Li Yuan still want to insist on praising Xiao Tianyu?

Thus, Xiao Tianyu got straight to the point: "I think, since Prince Li is personally visiting my Xiao Sect, it’s not just to praise me, is it?"

With these words, Li Yuan naturally understood the implication in Xiao Tianyu’s words and no longer mentioned Wang You.

He spoke: "It is well-known that Brother Xiao is a straightforward person, so I will get straight to the point!"

"Please go ahead!" Xiao Tianyu nodded.

Li Yuan continued: "Our Great Li Dynasty intends to crown the Crown Prince. I am here on behalf of my eldest brother to invite Brother Xiao to visit our Great Li Dynasty, to witness the grand occasion of Great Li. Moreover, my eldest brother specifically instructed that Brother Xiao must attend in person, so please honor us by not being absent then!"

Upon hearing this, Lihen Heaven was slightly startled. Being a native of the Central Region of the Yanzhou, he knew well the ambitions of Great Li in recent years. This Great Li Dynasty aims to gather support through the crowning of the Crown Prince.

Clearly, Xiao Tianyu is one of their targets.

And Xiao Tianyu said: "Now that I, Xiao, have received the invitation from the Great Li Dynasty, I will naturally attend to witness the grandeur as long as Prince Li informs me of the date!"

Xiao Tianyu’s voice was equally hearty, after all, this is coming from the Great Li Dynasty with thousands of years of heritage, and Xiao Tianyu must give them face.

Moreover, the Xiao Sect was founded not long ago and its foundation is still unstable, it is unnecessary to oppose the Great Li Dynasty.

"In seven days, I will be waiting on behalf of my elder brother to welcome Brother Xiao’s arrival!" After saying this, Li Yuan stood up and cupped his fists: "Brother Xiao, I take my leave!"

"Farewell!" After Xiao Tianyu stood up, he said to Bai Bufan beside him: "Bufan, see off Prince Li for me!"

"Alright!" Bai Bufan nodded, making a gesture of invitation: "Prince Li, please!"

After saying this, Bai Bufan followed Li Yuan and his entourage out of the Golden Hall.

After Li Yuan left, Xiao Tianyu frowned slightly and then turned his gaze to Lihen Heaven, speaking: "Hentian, you are a native of the Central Region of Yanzhou, you should have some understanding about this Great Li Dynasty!"

"Yes!" Lihen Heaven nodded and spoke: "The Great Li Dynasty was originally from the Yanzhou region, it belonged to the Ba Province. It’s said that they declined ten thousand years ago, causing the Great Li Dynasty to split into five, respectively Luoshen Sect, Southeast Celestial Sect, Fengtian Hall, Shenxiao Valley, each dominating a region until now!"

"However, in recent hundred years, the Great Li Dynasty has been recruiting continuously to strengthen Great Li. It clearly wants to restore the glory of the Great Li Dynasty from ten thousand years ago and attempt to dominate the world again. This time, Prince Li came to the Xiao Sect on behalf of Eldest Prince Li Saint; it is obvious that they have taken notice of the foundation of the Xiao Sect and the talent of the Sect Leader. Remember how in the Ghost Cave, Li Yuan seemed to invite our Sect Leader once?"

"Indeed!" Xiao Tianyu nodded: "I only refused him then, but looking at Li Yuan’s demeanor, he seems to be a resourceful person!"

"Indeed!" Lihen Heaven nodded.

Li Fei stepped forward and spoke: "So, does the Great Li Dynasty wish to ally with our Xiao Sect?"

"I fear it may not be that simple!" After Lihen Heaven replied, he said, "To be exact, they probably want to use the Xiao Sect, but now the world is divided into five for over ten thousand years. If the Great Li Dynasty wants to rule again, it would be exceedingly difficult, at least Luoshen Sect is not that easy to take down, let alone there’s also Fengtian Hall, Southeast Celestial Sect... and other forces!"

"What about this Li Saint, what kind of character is he?" Xiao Tianyu asked.

"In the Central Region of Yanzhou, within the Divine Separation Fifth Layer, there are seven era-suppressing geniuses, who are the true leaders of the younger generation. Has the Sect Leader ever heard of them?"

"Do you mean this Li Saint is one of them?" Xiao Tianyu asked.

"Yes!" Lihen Heaven nodded.

"Who are the others?"

Mo Qingluan asked, which was also what Jian Wushuang, Xiao Tianyu, Li Fei, and others wanted to know.

Lihen Heaven said: "Luoshen Sect has one. It is said that the Luoshen Sect’s Sect Leader has only three disciples, and Wang You who fought you is one of the three. Yet, although Wang You’s talent is strong, his realm is too low to be considered one of the seven era-suppressing leaders!"

"Above him are two senior brothers, one of whom, Senior Brother Wang Tian, is an era-suppressing genius. But it’s said this person has always been very low-key, to the point where no one has ever truly seen him in action. Yet, he is still listed among the seven era-suppressing geniuses, which means there must be a reason!"

"Is it him?" Upon hearing this, in Xiao Tianyu’s mind, a scholarly figure emerged. When he ascended the outer peaks, he had seen this person. This person had a delicate appearance, exuding no aura, hardly like someone who practiced cultivation.

Yet, precisely because of this, Xiao Tianyu found this person all the more mysterious.

Subsequently, Bai Bufan asked: "What about the remaining five?"

"Shenxiao Valley, Southeast Celestial Sect, and Fengtian Hall each have one!" Lihen Heaven said.

"That makes only five!"

"The other two are still in the Great Li Dynasty!"

"So the seven era-suppressing geniuses, the Great Li Dynasty accounts for three!" Bai Bufan expressed surprise.

Lihen Heaven nodded: "Exactly, this is the main reason why Great Li wants to dominate the world again. As long as the three can all reach the Divine Separation Ninth Layer, the restoration of Great Li Dynasty’s former glory will be within reach!"

"This time, with Li Saint about to be crowned Crown Prince, the implication is the Great Li Dynasty wants to demonstrate to the world the depth of Great Li Dynasty’s foundation!" Lihen Heaven continued: "But to rule once more won’t be simple, that’s why I think Li Yuan came to the Xiao Sect on orders from Li Saint to form an alliance. The current Xiao Sect, besides the extraordinary talent of the Sect Leader, has ten senior brothers who can each hold their ground!"

"..."

After this round of discussion, Xiao Tianyu gained a general understanding of the current foundation of the Great Li Dynasty, although now the Xiao Sect has integrated into one area, it can even be one of the six major forces, but in terms of heritage, it is undoubtedly the weakest one.

After all, the Xiao Sect never had a Primordial Spirit Realm expert.

Moreover, some of Xiao Tianyu and their cultivation levels are too low, insufficient to compete with those era-suppressing geniuses.

This is the true weakness of the Xiao Sect.
