On the other hand, after Shang Yi took Han Guang away, a very shocking event happened in the capital.

Meng Qi had just figured out what happened and was amazed at Shang Yi's methods. Zhao Wuyan was promoted to a Dharma body and was sent back home because the big guys had no time to respond to them.

However, Ruan Yushu and even Zhao Wuyan treated him with courtesy. After all, the shock Shang Yi brought to them just now was too shocking, and they did not dare to neglect Ruan Yushu.

After it gradually darkened, Su Li and Su Yue returned, both looking unhappy, especially Su Li, who went straight into the ancestral temple.

Meng Qi followed in, looked at Su Li's back, and whispered:
"Father, how is it going?"

Su Li's expression was somewhat complicated, and he said:

"The royal family now has its own powerful Dharmakāya masters, and their power has been balanced with that of the aristocratic families. Although there are still some dirty fights, under the intimidation of your friend, the owner of the Shang Building, they can only unite to deal with it.

It’s hard to say whether it’s good or bad!”

Meng Qi nodded slightly. The situation in Dajin had stabilized and there wouldn't be any major chaos.

"What about you?" Meng Qi asked sharply.

Su Li chuckled twice, still without turning his head:
"Assisting the Emperor in colluding with the heretics. Although the incident occurred due to the appearance of the Demon King and the Lord of Shang Tower, the Luo Sect did not reveal its collusion with the royal family on the spot, but these things cannot withstand investigation!

You were stripped of your title of Marquis of Divine Power, and you are no longer allowed to hold any position. You are not allowed to leave the Divine Capital in this lifetime, and your martial arts skills were also abolished. Fortunately, you have a good relationship with that person, and Langya Ruan Shi and Zhou Junwang helped you a lot, so you were able to avoid this disaster. "

"It's good enough to be able to save the entire Su family." Meng Qi said calmly.

"It's a pity that my title was taken away from me. I feel ashamed of my ancestors..." Su Li's voice trembled slightly.

Meng Qi took a deep breath and asked again, "Father, now you can finally tell me why you sent me to Shaolin, right?"

Su Li sighed, "At that time, your mother died of exhaustion, and Su Yue secretly instigated the Ke family to regard you as a thorn in their side. Your grandmother could see all these things, but on the one hand, you are the pillar of the family, and on the other hand, you are a powerful in-law. Add the two together, and it's clear at a glance which is more important. She could only make a cold decision."

"Back then, your father was deeply trusted by the emperor. If I said I couldn't protect you, it would be a lie. But at that time, the emperor had already had some connections with the Luo Cult. Your father was worried that there would be a disaster in the future and the entire Su family would be destroyed. I couldn't let the Su family's bloodline be cut off because of my blind loyalty, so I followed the situation and sent you to Shaolin. Others may not know, but your father knows that your uncle is in Shaolin. There is no need to remind him, he will notice it."

"As expected..."

Meng Qi had made some guesses after he knew that the emperor was colluding with Luojiao. Now it has finally been confirmed. He closed his eyes and felt that the last shackles on his body were broken. His body and mind were in harmony, his spirit was lively, and there were no more hidden dangers!

Su Li laughed softly:

"As a father, I once wanted to be a passionate man, but I couldn't escape the responsibility of the family. I wanted to take the responsibility of the family's rise and fall, but I caused unrest in the inner house and lost my title. I wanted to be loyal to the emperor, but I thought that he turned a blind eye to the action of destroying Tianmen and secretly harmed my son. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he doesn't trust me. At this point in my life, I have failed everywhere. It's really sad...

Meng Qi did not take up the topic, and said calmly, "Father, I want to send out invitations to everyone to attend the banquet tomorrow."

"Ah?" Su Li turned back in surprise, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

Holding a banquet at this time?
People are in panic now, why would they think of holding a banquet?

Meng Qi said calmly, "A banquet like the Xingyun Banquet."

Su Li suddenly understood, and was surprised and happy: "You want to create an opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step?"

He thought of what happened to He Jiu and Wang Siyuan.

Meng Qi nodded without saying anything more.

"Good, good! Having you, my son, is enough for this world." Su Li laughed loudly, looking very comfortable.

What does it mean to reach the top overnight?
As long as he doesn’t die young, he will at least become a grandmaster!
And he advances much faster than ordinary people, just like Su Wuming advances one level higher every year!

Su Li's expression was full of relief and sigh: "Father will send someone to deliver the invitation immediately."

As for those people, with his experience he would not be wrong.

Just as Meng Qi was about to leave the ancestral hall, Su Li whispered, "By the way, Ziyue is not your biological sister."

"Huh?" Meng Qi was quite surprised. Although he already knew it, he did not expect his father to tell him at this time.

"She is of the Tang family of Long County."

Su Li sighed:

“When the Tang family was wiped out, your mother was very sad. Your father took the opportunity to leave the capital and went to Xizhou. Although he did not find your uncle, he discovered that some of the direct descendants of the Tang family were not in the ancestral home at that time and escaped the disaster.

But due to worry and anxiety, Ziyue's parents' health had already collapsed and they were running out of energy, and she was still in her infancy. Her father brought her back and raised her under the name of your mother as an illegitimate daughter. You were still young at that time, and I'm afraid you don't remember this."

Meng Qi was quite pleased:

"Master will be very happy."

Jin Palace.

Prince Jin, Bai Qigu, Yan Chong and others looked at each other in silence, waiting for news from the Council Hall, but there was endless arguing inside, and it was feared that a decision would take several days to come to.

A servant brought an invitation to Bai Qigu and Yan Chong.

"Kuang Dao is holding a banquet? Why is he holding a banquet at this critical moment?" Yan Chong frowned.

Bai Qigu's eyes lit up: "You have never fought with Kuang Dao, so you don't know his specific realm. Is this an opportunity for him to imitate He Jiu and ascend to heaven in one step? Does he want to resist the combination of you and me?"

"It should be a challenge to the combination of Yan, Cui Zhe and Wang Zai, or a life-and-death battle with you alone." Yan Chong guessed Meng Qi's thoughts.

Bai Qigu smiled and said, "No matter which one it is, being able to fight against someone who has the potential to ascend to the sky in one step is really exciting!"

Pingjin Marquis Mansion.

Cui Zhe, the Purple Sword, looked at the invitation in his hand, smiled, and whispered: "Crazy Blade imitated He Jiu's old story."

"The world is full of undercurrents, and more and more people are hoping to reach the top overnight." Cui Qingyu was not a member of the Political Affairs Hall, so he did not argue. He stayed at home, stroking his beard, feeling quite emotional.

When was the last time this happened?
That was an era of chaos between demons and Buddhas that only existed in history books!

Cui Zhe smiled and said, "It's a pity that the top ten people on the Human Ranking are only my nephew, Yan Chong, and Wang Zai in the Divine Capital. There is no grand occasion for the Xingyun Banquet. The time is still too short, and only the warriors in the Divine Capital are invited."

"Three people joining forces is enough. Unless it's a life-and-death struggle, Crazy Blade is good at group fighting." Cui Qingyu's judgment of the characteristics of both sides' martial arts was very accurate. Then, he comforted Cui Zhe, "Don't force yourself to reach perfection in one step. The monk Kongwen was only half a step to perfection back then, but he still achieved the Dharma body. Isn't it the same for Mr. Lu from Huamei Villa?"

After saying this, he looked forward to it: "I wonder how far Kuang Dao can go. Will he be like He Jiu and Wang Siyuan, or will he be as brilliant as Su Wuming in the past..."

Huanhou Mansion.

Wang Zai read the invitation, his face showing his thoughts: "Xiao Meng has finally made it this far. It seems that he is not far from a breakthrough at the Qionghua Banquet today. It's a good opportunity to give him a helping hand."

Langya Marquis Mansion.

Ruan Yushu's uncle played with the invitation, looked at Ruan Yushu, and said with relief:
"Yes, yes, this boy is really outstanding. If he can succeed, he can become a Grandmaster.

However, he is still not as good as your sweetheart. Who would have thought that in just a few years, he would advance from the awakening stage to become a Dharmakaya earthly immortal? Could he really be the reincarnation of the Worldly Free King Buddha! ? "

As he spoke, worry flashed in his eyes again. He was really worried that Shang Yi, the reincarnation of a powerful being like this, would abandon his niece after his memory returned. Moreover, the World-Honored King of Freedom Buddha was a powerful being in Buddhism, and he was a little worried about his niece's future.

Ruan Yushu was chewing dried dragon fish, not being able to speak, and nodded slightly. However, he had immense trust in Shang Yi and was not worried at all that Shang Yi would abandon him in the future.

Guangling Marquis Mansion. Wang Siyuan stroked the uneven surface of the invitation, smiling, as if he was looking forward to it.

The Prince of Wei's Palace and other noble families were also invited, mainly those who were above the Nine Apertures and below the External Scene. Of course, strong people from the External Scene would also be invited to watch the ceremony and prevent accidents.

In the palace, Zhao Wuyan, who had just ascended the throne, listened to the reports from the people below and sighed in a low voice:
"Is he going to rise to fame overnight like He Jiu? The Su family really has a talented child!"

He was a little envious. Why weren't such talents from the Zhao family?

At the same time, the continuous appearance of extraordinary geniuses who rose to fame overnight, a situation that was said to have only occurred in ancient times, made him feel the pressure of the coming of a great era.

The news swept across the entire Divine Capital like a tornado, and the people on the streets who were still discussing the incident during the day were once again distracted by this incident.

For a moment, there was a lot of discussion, and everyone compared this banquet with the banquet in Xingyun.

“I heard that Kuang Dao killed Fan Changmiao, no, the Six Destroyers, and now he is in great momentum. I’m afraid he can really ascend to heaven in one step!”

Some people sighed with emotion.

Some people are worried about Meng Qi:

"This is a banquet for the strong not to attend. Maybe the pressure from the Mad Blade is not enough and we can't ascend to the sky in one step?

At that time, He Jiu alone killed Buddha Heart Palm, Sword Qi Changhe, Qinglian Gongzi and Kuangdao, four masters who were in the top ten of the Human Ranking. Later, Suan Jin Cangsheng and Absolute Sword Fairy joined. Now, there are only four people in the top ten of the Human Ranking in the Divine Capital, including him. The gap is huge!"

"Yes, and how can the ranking of people back then be compared with the ranking of people today?" someone echoed.

"Yan Chong should be stronger than his past self. Cui Zhe's Buddha Heart Palm is probably similar to that at the Xingyun Banquet. Wang Zai is getting stronger and stronger, not much different from Young Master Qinglian at that time. The combination of the Descending God and Demon Qi Zhengyan and Lengyue Qinxian can also resist the Mad Saber of that day. This part is not much different from the Xingyun Banquet. Only the later Suan Jin Cangsheng and Juejian Fairy, there is really no one who can replace the current God Capital. Do they have to rely on the advantage of numbers?"

Someone analyzed it carefully.

"Perhaps, maybe I will challenge Bai Qigu's perfect half step?"

"How is this possible? No matter how strong Crazy Blade is, he is not a perfect opponent. He cannot have the effect of sharpening and oppressing. Didn't He Jiu dare to try it back then?"

"Maybe Kuang Dao wants to fight ten alone?"

The streets are filled with discussions and analysis of the challenges that may arise tomorrow. The atmosphere is lively, emotions are high, and expectations are high.

In the Shenwei Marquis Mansion, in Meng Qi's courtyard.

Su Ziyue, who knew the news, came to Meng Qi excitedly and said, "Second brother, you, you are going to challenge all the strong men on the Human Ranking to join forces tomorrow?"

"Who told you?" Meng Qi sat on a stone bench, listening to the wind and admiring the moon, with a warm smile.

Knowing that Su Ziyue was from his master's lineage and could be considered his cousin, Meng Qi felt even closer to her.

Su Ziyue blinked: "No one told me, isn't this normal? This is how the Xingyun Banquet is..."

Her cheeks flushed and she smiled excitedly: "Tomorrow I will see my second brother show his power and ascend to heaven in one step!"

After a pause, she said embarrassedly: "Second brother, am I disturbing you? You should adjust your mood, warm up your spirit, and prepare for tomorrow..."

"It's okay, it won't delay much." Meng Qi said with a smile.

Seeing his second brother's assurance, Su Ziyue felt relieved and asked curiously, "Second brother, how confident are you that you can reach the top in one step? How many masters do you plan to challenge tomorrow?"

Meng Qi tapped the tabletop, looking relaxed: "Do you know about the one-step success?"

"Of course." Su Ziyue thought his second brother was testing him. "It means opening the gate between the eyebrows and building a bridge between heaven and earth. Without any stabilization or adjustment, the inner and outer worlds will merge directly. Only those whose inner world and the corresponding laws of heaven and earth are extremely close and harmonious can succeed. Because if you ascend to heaven in one step, heaven will envy you and punish you."

"Then do you know what realm one must reach after reaching the Nine Apertures to reach the sky in one step?" Meng Qi took a sip of tea and spoke in a gentle tone. He seemed to be unconcerned about tomorrow's challenge and was still in the mood to guide his sister.

Su Ziyue was still young and hadn't figured it out yet, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Meng Qi tapped the stone table with his left hand. "After the Nine Apertures, the next step is to cultivate the Ancestral Aperture between the Eyebrows. If you don't have a good technique, or if you break through hastily before reaching the state of communication between heaven and man, you will be at the bottom of the Half-Step External Scene. There are contradictions and repulsions between the Inner and Outer Worlds, and it is difficult for them to merge. There is little hope for the External Scene. This is called the worst, or low-grade."

“Yeah, I know that.” Su Ziyue nodded like a chick pecking at rice. The noble families in Shendu all required their talented children to at least achieve a breakthrough in the communication between heaven and man.

Meng Qi looked at the cold and bright moon and continued, "When you cultivate the ancestral acupoint between your eyebrows to perfection, you will be able to connect with nature and man. When your realm is stable, after a breakthrough, you will be at a normal half-step outer realm, or middle-grade. There will be no contradiction or rejection between the inner and outer worlds, but they are not close enough. You need to spend a lot of time to adjust and polish. That's why some people can break through to the outer realm, but some can't."

"After the ancestral orifice at the center of the eyebrows is fully developed, one can comprehend the heaven and earth, and the body and mind will be in harmony. The inner and outer heaven and earth will gradually become harmonious, which is the unity of heaven and man. Every move you make will have power close to that of a normal half-step. When it is perfected, after a breakthrough, it will be a perfect half-step, with great power, and a hidden control over the laws of heaven and earth. It is very terrifying, and can rival the abnormal half-step external scene. It can be called a top-grade one. Once the heat is enough, a breakthrough will be possible."

Su Ziyue listened attentively without interrupting.

“When you reach the state of unity between man and nature, if you can preliminarily determine the path that suits you, you can use this to adjust your inner world. Once the adjustment is complete, you will return to your original state, and basically surpass the state of your inner world before the perfect half-step breakthrough. It’s just that you don’t have enough power to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, and your control over the law is not enough. Only in this way can you have the foundation to reach heaven in one step. Those who practice martial arts must have lofty ambitions. Even if they cannot reach heaven in one step, they can still set this as their goal.” The moonlight fell, bathing Meng Qi in the bright light.

Su Ziyue's eyes sparkled, and he asked curiously, "Second brother, have you returned to your original nature?"

Meng Qi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and smiled without saying anything.

The night wind is cool and the moon is bright. After a day of hustle and bustle, the capital of the gods has returned to peace.

Meng Qi was enjoying this kind of tranquility, or rather, he felt refreshed at the thought that he would be able to show his prowess in public the next day without any risk!

The next day, in a remote courtyard, Gu Xiaosang, dressed in white, with her face turned upside down, looked at the sun rising gradually in the sky, waiting for the affairs in the Divine Capital to be settled. She had an ethereal temperament and a serene expression.

Many people from the martial arts world gathered near the Su family's villa. Although they could not witness the grand occasion, if any strange phenomenon of ascending to heaven appeared, they would be the first to see it.

"Purple Sword Cui Zhe is here..."

"The long river of sword energy is coming... and Bai Qigu is also here!"

"Wang Zai is here..."

"The Ruan family's zither master is here too, as is the Minister of the Honglu Temple..."

The low cries seemed to be brewing a fight between dragons and tigers that was about to begin, with one dragon challenging many tigers!

Just thinking about it makes my blood boil!

Carriages stopped outside the villa. Wang Zai, Cui Zhe and others nodded to each other. They all saw that the other party was restrained. Even if they wanted to lend a helping hand to Meng Qi, they could not lose their face in the battle.

Bai Qigu was eager to try, and walked into the courtyard first.

The banquet was held in the martial arts hall of the other courtyard. It was very spacious and filled with tables. Meng Qi sat in the main seat, wearing a neat blue shirt and nodding with a smile.

Fearing that Meng Qi's momentum would be taken away from him, which would affect his breakthrough, Su Li and Su Yue did not show up, but helped secretly from behind to prevent any accidents.

The guests greeted each other and took their seats one by one. Soon, everyone was present. Yan Chong, Bai Qigu, Cui Zhe and others all looked at Meng Qi. It was time to begin.

Meng Qi smiled slightly: "Everyone, please be patient and enjoy the singing and dancing and the wine first."

Eh, it’s a little different from the Xingyun Banquet… Everyone was surprised, but after thinking that maybe it was just a different way of entertaining guests, they felt relieved.

The music was lively, the singing and dancing were beautiful, and the wine was mellow and sweet, but no one present was in the mood to enjoy it.

After the song and dance ended, Meng Qi waved his hand and flicked his green shirt. (End of this chapter)
