I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

It can be seen that the Kunlun Military Region has indeed put a lot of thought into this banquet.

Even the lighting was prepared based on the details of past conferences, rather than using modern electric lights.

As the gate of Kunlun Military Region gradually closed, the banquet table in the back mountain was now full of people.

The members of the 788 Exploration Team stood behind the main seats one after another. At this moment, the entire audience fell silent in tacit understanding.

"Om..."

At this moment, the ancestors were surprised to find that a formation was gradually emerging under the banquet stage.

The aura emanating from the formation is extremely powerful, which means that the power within it is so strong that it is unimaginable.

Immediately afterwards, a golden dragon leaped out from the formation and circled above the ancestors.

Just as the ancestors were surprised, another golden dragon flew out from the formation again, and the two dragons entangled with each other.

As they collided in the sky, the two dragons suddenly disappeared, followed by a golden light that seemed to cut through the night sky.

What surprised the ancestors was that before the formation was activated, they could not even sense the existence of the formation.

In other words, if this was just a way for the Kunlun Military Region to liven up the atmosphere, then it would be fine.

But if this was a conspiracy, I'm afraid they are all in desperate situation now.

The two Taoist children stood behind Taoist Master Dao Miao and watched the scene in disbelief.

"Grandmaster, isn't Kunlun Military Region a military region? How come there is a formation technique?"

Hearing the Taoist boy's question, Taoist Master Dao Miao stroked his beard meaningfully:

"There is an expert in the Kunlun Military Region. This is obviously carefully prepared by that expert."

It is both to warmly welcome our arrival and to serve as a warning to those who hold grudges.

Both kindness and severity...

This Mr. Chu is truly a rare genius in the world of magic.

Perhaps the current predicament of the magic world will really see a turnaround because of the appearance of Mr. Chu.

By then, a new Fa-rectification era may quietly sprout.”

After hearing this, the two Taoist children looked at each other in surprise.

This was the first time they heard such high evaluation of a person from Taoist Master Dao Miao.

This made the two Taoist children even more curious. Who exactly was this Chu Gaoren that Taoist Master Dao Miao mentioned?

The golden light lasted for about a minute. When it gradually dissipated, the ancestors discovered that Zhao Qi was already sitting in the main seat of the banquet.

Zhao Qi, dressed in military uniform, sat upright on the throne, his eyes calmly scanning every ancestor present. When everyone's eyes were focused on him, Zhao Qi smiled and said:
“The place is packed with distinguished guests, thank you all for coming to support us.

The Kunlun Military Region encountered some difficulties a few days ago, and many ancestors came to help. Zhao Qi would like to express his gratitude to everyone here."

As he spoke, Zhao Qi bowed slightly.

Because he was wearing a military uniform, Zhao Qi did not perform a grand salute, but simply expressed his gratitude with a military salute.

Then, Zhao Qi spoke again:
“If someone records the history of the magic world, it will cover every part of the past five thousand years.

However, the world of magic has always upheld the principle of keeping a low profile and protecting oneself. No matter how turbulent the outside world is, they only care about preserving themselves and wholeheartedly seek immortality.

It is precisely because of this that the world of magic cultivation has been able to be preserved to this day, and all of you ancestors can sit here.

However, this is also a drawback, causing the art world to gradually decline and even be on the verge of extinction.

I think this is also something that the ancestors have always found difficult to let go of. No one wants to see their sect come to an end in this generation."

Zhao Qi's words made all the ancestors present fall into deep thought.

They knew that what Zhao Qi said was true, but they were also wondering why Zhao Qi suddenly brought up this topic.

Zhao Qi did not let the ancestors wonder for too long and went straight to the point:
“Today, the Kunlun Military Region held a grand banquet, firstly to thank the many ancestors present for their help in the past few days;

The second is to resolve grievances and eliminate misunderstandings with the remaining ancestors.

The first policy implemented by the Kunlun Military Region in the martial arts world was to require all sects to register and accept the unified management of the Kunlun Military Region.

This is indeed an unprecedented thing for the various sects that are accustomed to a leisurely life.

I know that you may have concerns in your hearts, thinking that the emperor did not interfere with the magic world when he was in power, so why did the Kunlun Military Region suddenly break this rule? "

Having said that, Zhao Qi's eyes swept sharply over the ancestors present.

Especially for those ancestors who were still detained in Kunlun Military Region a few days ago, Zhao Qi's gaze lingered on them for a moment.

These ancestors avoided Zhao Qi's sight one after another, because they felt the powerful pressure emanating from Zhao Qi and did not dare to confront him head-on.

"But in fact, the ancestors really misunderstood..."

Zhao Qi's tone suddenly softened. His control of the rhythm of the scene made all the ancestors curious and wanted to hear what he would say next.

Zhao Qi sighed softly, then said earnestly:
“The reason why I did this is not because I want to control the world of magic cultivation.

On the contrary, I hope that the world of magic cultivation can continue and regain its former glory.

Times have changed. Although the ancestors are reluctant to admit it, they have to accept the fact that the existence of various sects is no longer recognized by the official authorities.

The ideals that you hold fast to and the methods of seeking immortality and enlightenment that you believe in are seen by the general public as nothing more than legends, or even feudal superstitions.

This is an inevitable process of social progress, and ideological revolution is also very important.

Wearing this military uniform, I must tell you responsibly: only by doing this can society progress; only by doing this can China be what it is today.

But, putting aside this military uniform, with my ability, I can also chat with you about the internal topics of the magic world. "

In response to this, all the ancestors remained silent, and it was obvious that they had already tacitly agreed to this.

“In the Dharma Ending Age, spiritual energy is thin and opportunities are even fewer.

I think all of you ancestors should still remember how glorious each sect was during its heyday.

Alchemy, weapon making, treasure building...

Almost every sect has a large auxiliary group to lay the foundation of the entire sect.

But now, these things are few and far between in the world of magic cultivation. Looking around, which sect still has alchemists, weapon refiners, and treasure builders?

Without alchemists, there would be no medicine to support them, and the speed of cultivation would not be comparable to that of the past.

Without weapon refiners, the overall strength of all sects has dropped significantly, and even some disciples who have been in the sect for many years are just ordinary people.

Without treasure builders, each sect would be like a small boat in the wind and rain.

I think the magic weapons of various sects are passed down from generation to generation, right?

Don't you feel sad that it is called the sect's treasure with just one or two low-level magic weapons?
You know, these magic weapons were once looked down upon.

But now, they have become treasures that everyone cherishes.

So, don't you understand, elders? The times have changed, and it is no longer what it used to be. It needs new power. Therefore, there is no hostility between us. On the contrary, Kunlun Military Region can lead the entire magic cultivation world to glory again. "

After Zhao Qi finished speaking, he fixed his eyes on the ancestors present.

In the silence, each of the ancestors had their own thoughts, but no one showed them.

Just when Dao Miao Tianshi was about to stand up and express his opinion first, a soldier suddenly ran over from a distance.

"Commander, there's an old man outside the door. He said he came from Longhu Mountain to attend the banquet..."

Longhu Mountain?
When the three words "Longhu Mountain" reached their ears, all the ancestors present were surprised.

Longhu Mountain actually sent people here, which was a rare thing that had not been seen for many years.

Back then, after the old Taoist priest of Mount Longhu retired, the entire Mount Longhu gradually faded out of the sight of the magic cultivation world.

The former Longhu Mountain was the backbone of the magic world, and all the sects had to give the old master some respect and give Longhu Mountain some face.

When the old Taoist priest is in charge, no sect dares to act rashly.

Once a conflict occurs, people have to light lanterns for ten miles to welcome the Taoist priest to mediate.

But that was all history. Ever since the old Heavenly Master went into seclusion, people from Mount Longhu rarely appear in the secular world.

Now the Kunlun Military Region has held a grand banquet, and even Longhu Mountain has sent people to attend, which shows how great Zhao Qi's face is.

All the ancestors thought that the people from Longhu Mountain were invited by Zhao Qi, but in fact Zhao Qi himself was also confused.

He knew that the old Taoist priest of Mount Longhu would no longer come out of the mountain, and that the disciples of Mount Longhu rarely came down the mountain, so he did not invite Mount Longhu to this banquet.

Why is there someone here all of a sudden? And an old man?

Zhao Qi frowned, thought for a moment, and immediately ordered the soldiers: "Go and invite the person in."

The soldier took the order and turned and ran.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the passage connecting the back mountain and the front gate.

Everyone is very curious, who will Longhushan send?

At this moment, a powerful pressure suddenly enveloped the entire back mountain.

This pressure was not artificially imposed, but a natural expression of powerful force.

Feeling this power, the ancestors frowned and released their own power to resist.

Then, a figure slowly appeared in front of everyone.

This man was wearing a cloth gown and had white eyebrows and a long beard. His eyes and brows were full of kindness and there was no sharpness at all.

Only one person came from Longhu Mountain, which was in stark contrast to the huge teams from other sects.

But it was this one person who made all the ancestors stand up and be shocked.

Zhu Qingyang, who was standing behind Zhao Qi, watched this scene and muttered in confusion: "Who is this old man? Why did these arrogant ancestors stand up to greet him?"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Qi responded to him: "In the entire magic cultivation world back then, the only one who could have such a calm aura and majestic power was the old Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain."

As he spoke, the old man walked slowly in front of everyone with a smile: "I am sorry for coming here uninvited."

The ancestors all bowed, and Taoist Master Dao Miao asked directly, "Old Taoist Master, didn't you announce that you would be in seclusion a long time ago? Why did you suddenly come down the mountain today?"

The ancestors had great respect for the old Heavenly Master.

This respect is not only because the old master’s strength is the strongest among the ancestors present, but also because the old master has a very high prestige in the world of magic.

The old Taoist priest stroked his beard without any airs. He smiled and said, "When people get old, they don't like to move around, but they like to join in the fun. The Kunlun Military Region is holding a banquet to entertain the entire magic cultivation world, so naturally I can't be absent."

At this time, Zhao Qi walked up to the old Heavenly Master and said, "Zhao Qi from the Kunlun Military Region, nice to meet you, Old Heavenly Master."

The old Taoist priest looked at Zhao Qi, his eyes revealing satisfaction: "Chief Zhao, I wonder if there is a place for me at the banquet in the back mountain?"

Zhao Qi nodded quickly: "Of course, please come this way..."

In full view of the crowd, Zhao Qi led the old Taoist priest to his seat.

After the old Taoist priest sat down, all his aura was gone and he looked like an ordinary old man.

Almost all the ancestors' eyes fell on the old Heavenly Master. They were puzzled and didn't know what the purpose of the old Heavenly Master's visit this time was.

After the old Taoist priest sat down, he stopped talking and just drank hot tea leisurely, as if he was indifferent to everything.

Zhao Qi returned to the main seat. The arrival of the old Taoist priest surprised him a little, but it did not change his original idea.

"Everyone, the era of fighting alone in the art world is over, this is an indisputable fact.

Before the banquet officially begins, I have an obligation to express to everyone the determination of the Kunlun Military Region.

For the prosperity of China, for the peace of the country, for the major events in the world, and for the prosperity and peace of the dragon veins.

The Kunlun Military Region must unify the entire martial arts world, formulate a unified practice plan, and even uniformly allocate practice resources.

The Kunlun Military Region will intervene in all matters, including the ancestors' tribulation, including when, where and how they will do it.

This is the mission that the Kunlun Military Region must fulfill, and it will not change regardless of whether the ancestors agree or not."

At this point, Zhao Qi picked up the teacup in front of him and said, "On behalf of the Kunlun Military Region, I would like to offer a toast to all the ancestors. This banquet is to thank you for your help before.

After the banquet, the Kunlun Military Region will continue to fulfill its mission of unifying the world of magic.

By then, I hope that the opposing ancestors will understand that the Kunlun Military Region is not targeting any person or any sect, but it is the general trend and someone must do these things. "

Zhao Qi's words were extremely bold. Saying this in front of all the ancestors in the world of magic cultivation was undoubtedly a challenge to the entire world of magic cultivation.

For a moment, the ancestors at the banquet quickly split into two factions.

One faction, led by Taoist Master Dao Miao, agreed to accept the control of the Kunlun Military Region.

The other faction was composed of the majority of the ancestors, who did not agree to be controlled by the Kunlun Military Region.

This made the atmosphere at the scene become serious. Everyone looked unhappy and had their own thoughts.

The ideas of these ancestors who disagreed to be controlled were very simple: the sect had existed for many years, so how could it be managed by a younger generation who had just established the sect?
This kind of thing seems quite ridiculous no matter where you talk about it.

Zhao Qi still stood there, holding a teacup in his hand, his eyes unusually calm.

He quietly examined the ancestors, and gradually, those ancestors who supported the Kunlun Military Region's control stood up and raised the teacups in their hands.

However, the number of these ancestors who stood up was less than one-third of the total population.

The rest of the people just sat there, neither making eye contact with Zhao Qi nor standing up to express their opinions.

It is obvious that they are expressing their attitudes through silence.

The sects they each represented were unwilling to join and accept the unified management of the Kunlun Military Region.

Because once agreed, the various sects will no longer be able to exist freely outside the secular world.

Moreover, it was unprecedented for a sect to accept military control, and it was against the rules no matter how you thought about it. (End of this chapter)
