It’s here! He’s about to break through! The opportunity had arrived!
Li Yuanqing was not panicking at all. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. He had always been cautious and had been accumulating experience day after day in the Wilderness.
Until today, he finally broke through.
From a peak ninth-grade martial artist to a Martial Saint. Even if it was just this step, the cautious Li Yuanqing had been accumulating all this while. He had been controlling his cultivation realm to build a solid foundation.
And when the water was full, it would naturally overflow.
Today was the day when the water was full. Therefore, Li Yuanqing, who was standing by the lake, watched as his Clear Sky Sword danced among the clouds in the sky. He extended his hand and the Clear Sky Sword was held tightly by him!
Li Yuanqing held the Clear Sky Sword in his hand. His entire body became one with the sword as he slashed at the dark clouds. The thick dark clouds that covered the sun and moon were split apart by the Clear Sky Sword in a flash!
As for Clearwater Lake, because of the Clear Sky Sword’s sword energy, there was a huge ravine in the lake.
The ravine was extremely wide, and the surging lake water kept pouring into the ravine. Water splashed everywhere, forming a huge waterfall that flows downstream.
There was an additional waterfall downstream of the Clearwater Lake.
The power of a single sword strike from a Martial Saint was so terrifying. At this moment, the dark clouds that originally covered the sky and the sun had dispersed, revealing the sun in the sky.
On the other hand, Li Yuanqing stood by the lake in high spirits. His aura was elevated once again.
Originally, his temperament was extraordinary and elegant like an immortal. Now, his facial features were even more handsome. The key was that he still looked very young, looking like he was not even twenty years old.
After such a huge commotion in the Wilderness, the garrison camp was also investigating what had happened.
However, the dark clouds came and went suddenly. Those who had experienced this scene did not understand what was going on. They could only treat it as a curious and interesting conversation.
Only Wang Shun and Zhang Quan, who were guarding the valley, could faintly feel that the strange phenomenon in the sky seemed to be related to the Crown Prince in the valley.
However, none of them said anything.
Their experiences over the years told them that they would only get better and better if they clung tightly to the Crown Prince. Didn’t they see how His Majesty didn’t blame the Crown Prince even after being rejected?
The Crown Prince was unfathomable.
The scene in the skies above the Wilderness was not only strange to the people in the encampment, but also to the beasts in the hinterlands of the Wilderness. After all, the sky had suddenly turned dark and the immense pressure in the air made these beasts shiver.
They were more sensitive than human martial artists.
On the highest mountain peak in the hinterlands, a qilin was looking up at the sky. Behind it were countless vicious beasts that were howling in pain. The scene was chaotic.
When there were changes in the sky, these vicious beasts would hide behind the strong, wanting to obtain the protection of the strong. For example, this qilin of the Hundred Beast King.
That qilin was originally very anxious. When such a phenomenon descended from the sky, it would sometimes exterminate countless clansmen or its own kind. And it was also time for kings like them to fight over territories and recruit underlings.
If they could protect their underlings’ lives, their reputation would naturally increase. The number of vicious beasts following him would also increase.
However, opportunities and risks coexisted. If it was not careful, its soul might be destroyed by the might of the heavens. Not to mention protecting its underlings, it might not even be able to keep its life.
Thus, when the phenomenon appeared in the sky, there was a commotion in the Wilderness. Countless beast leaders began to flee in search of a cave to hide, while some threw away their subordinates and fled alone.
There were also those who took advantage of the chaos to gather those terrified and uneasy beasts and become their subordinates.
This qilin beast was also the king of this area. It used to be Hu Jiujiu’s mount. He followed along because Hu Jiujiu came here to look for healing medicine.
Hu Jiujiu was following Zhaoyang. So it had no choice but to hide in the hinterlands of the Wilderness and gather a group of underlings to occupy a large territory.
It was only because it hadn’t been here for long that some intelligent vicious beasts didn’t really recognize it. Thus, although its territory was large, it had very few capable underlings.
On this day, the qilin beast raised its head and saw something that no one else could see—the Clear Sky Sword.
It had seen this sword before. It was its master’s master’s sword. It had seen Li Yuanqing many times in that valley in the Wilderness. In the eyes of the qilin beast, Li Yuanqing, who could subdue Hu Jiujiu and render her helpless, was a powerful being.
As long as he made a move, the danger would become an opportunity. Therefore, this qilin beast was different from all the other beast kings. It started to recruit its underlings to protect them, and the numbers kept increasing.
While the beasts were panicking, the qilin beast’s move quickly to gather countless underlings. When Li Yuanqing became a Martial Saint, there would be no danger in the Wilderness.
The qilin beast had obtained what it wanted. With the support of countless vicious beasts, its power had grown even stronger. It even thought that it might not be long before it could unite the entire Wilderness.
All of this was because it knew the Clear Sky Sword and Li Yuanqing!
The qilin beast felt that if it had the chance, it would definitely tell its master about this. The owner of the Clear Sky Sword was simply too powerful, so powerful that it could make people worship it. It was simply too terrifying!
Li Yuanqing’s handsome face flashed before the qilin beast’s eyes. The qilin was so frightened that it shuddered.
Li Yuanqing, who was far away in the valley, did not know what had happened in the Wilderness Valley. He was in an exceptionally good mood at the moment. His Clear Sky Swords Art had reached Master level, and his Sand Escape technique had also reached the Proficiency level.
Even the Saint Extermination Stone, which had reached the Proficiency level, had become his trump card.
There was also a level five Manipulation Arts. He could refine another inner demon seed and slowly nurture it before selecting a servant. This time, he still needed to spend some time.
“Although I am already a Martial Saint, the Blood Flame Sect had already produced a Martial God Paragon. Who knows if there are still Martial Saints hiding in the Northern Kingdom? It’s better to be cautious. Once I’m really invincible, I can leave this valley…”?Li Yuanqing calculated in his heart.
He was someone who was afraid of death and overly cautious. He would never leave the mountain unless he was absolutely strong.
However, with this Hundred-fold Sign-in System, his advancement should be very fast. Furthermore, there were still ancient ruins in this valley. He had to study them carefully. He wanted to know what exactly happened 10,000 years ago.
He wanted to know why there was actually not a single Almighty being left behind from the ancient times. All that was left behind were some mythical legends that no one knew were true or false.
