Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

Li Changqing has plans for his future.

His primary goal was to find a way to break through to the highest level.

The number of supreme beings in the world is not large, but it is not small either.

They are all working hard for this, and they are all the best of the best.

Ultimately, neither of them succeeded.

At least according to the intelligence Li Changqing had, no one had ever succeeded.

There are only legends that someone once reached an even higher level.

But whether it's true or not is unknown.

The Tongtian Divine Skill, the number one divine skill in the world, is said to be based on the general principles of the Twelve Golden Men, and there is a chance to break through it.

After so many years of transmission, Li Changqing didn't believe that no one had ever collected them all.

But in the end, he did not hear any news of anyone breaking through this barrier; instead, the Twelve Golden Men continued to be passed down.

Li Changqing created the Seeking Immortality Record, hoping it could surpass the Divine Martial Tai Chi Fist and the Tai Xuan Divine Illumination Scripture, becoming a technique capable of breaking through the ultimate limit.

Li Changqing also wants to find the Twelve Golden Men.

Even if Li Changqing completes the general principles of the Twelve Golden Men training, there will be no way to help him advance further.

It can also be used as a reference.

In addition, there is the Cloud Dragon Body Refining Technique. It is said that it is also extremely terrifying when cultivated to a later stage.

This is only within the Great Zhou Dynasty.

There are so many countries around us, the world is so big...

How long would it take for Li Changqing to gather all these things by himself?

Not to mention discovering new clues.

This was Li Changqing's original intention in creating the World Society.

The World Society is an extension of his eyes and limbs, helping him find these things and giving him unique authority in this world.

He doesn't even need to clock in at the Golden Palace every day.

These two things account for 80% of the meaning of Li Changqing's life.

Of the remaining 20%, 10% is reserved for relatives and friends, and 10% is reserved for one's future partner and children.

The time he can spend with his partner and children only accounts for about 10% of his life.

Given this, Li Changqing had never considered the issue of having multiple wives and concubines.

Find someone with an open-minded personality who doesn't dwell on things, someone you find pleasing to the eye, and you'll have a good life together.

A lifetime with one lover surpasses countless others in the mortal world.

Luo Qingqing perfectly fits all these criteria, and importantly, Li Changqing is also pleasing to the eye.

In addition, regarding their engagement, Li Changqing never felt that the engagement was a burden or a hindrance.

Instead, they felt it was a destined connection between the two.

He had a good plan, but things changed too quickly.

Even now, no matter how well Li Changqing plans, he still hesitates when problems arise with the Tianxia Association.

On one side is one-tenth of her own wish, and on the other side is eight-tenths of his pursuit.

Moreover, Li Changqing himself doesn't need to contribute anything; he only needs to nod and agree to the marriage.

What he lacks most right now is time.

If he disagrees, the World Society, which has been painstakingly established, will soon face joint resistance from powerful families, clans, and sects.

Nobody is a fool; they would never allow an organization like the World Society to appear within their sphere of influence.

Unless they can get involved themselves.

Even if not everyone, at least the strongest few need to participate for the World Society to develop healthily and continue.

Otherwise, Li Changqing would have to be at odds with the Duke of Qi's Mansion, the Marquis of Xiaoyao's Mansion, the four major families, and various hidden families at the same time.

Li Changqing himself is not powerful enough, even if he brings the Qin Prince's Mansion and even the entire Great Zhou royal family onto the war chariot.

That's still not enough.

No matter how powerful they are, they can't suppress so many local bullies.

"Let me see it, and then we'll go to formally propose marriage today."

Those powerful and influential families won't give Li Changqing too much time to allow the Tianxia Society to grow.

This means that the day he marries his principal wife is just around the corner.

"First is Qi Mingfei, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Qi's mansion. You should have met her before; it's said that the young lady is very fond of you."

The image of Qi Mingfei immediately appeared in Li Changqing's mind.

Such a dignified, poised, and sensible woman was actually willing to become his concubine?

Li Changqing knew in his heart that the girl wasn't interested in him, but rather in the potential of the World Society.

They're not here to get married; they're here to become shareholders of the World Association.

If everyone could be like Qi Mingfei, Li Changqing wouldn't find it unacceptable.

After all, he was never afraid of distributing profits. Li Changqing had no concept of money and was never attached to it.

As long as the World Society can be used by him to help him find what he is looking for and the clues, Li Changqing doesn't really care about anything else.

"Secondly, it is the granddaughter of the Marquis of Xiaoyao."

Their second granddaughter, Xie Feixue, is known as a female prodigy. She's two years older than you and is already a Grandmaster-level martial artist. If she can break through within a year, she'll also be a Supreme Seed.

A very important milestone for a Supreme Seed is breaking through to the Free and Unfettered Realm before the age of twenty.

Xie Feixue is such a seed.

"How dare they be so generous? They'd even offer up a family like that for a marriage alliance?"

"The Marquis of Xiaoyao's mansion is shrewd; the more important their members are, the more benefits they receive."

The reason why the Duke of Qi's mansion and the Marquis of Xiaoyao's mansion went to such lengths was not only due to considerations of profit.

Li Changqing was very suspicious that they had seen through his scheme and were planning to get a share of the profits.

For a family that possesses a supreme being, nothing is more important than the supreme ancestor breaking through to the next level.

To achieve this grand goal, losing one or two prodigies from different families is nothing at all.

Moreover, marrying Li Changqing does not mean that their family's pride has perished.

In Li Changqing's case, would people be more willing to help the Prince of Qinghe, or their respective families?

Nobody can say for sure.

"Our Nangong family, including Nangong Yurou whom I told you about before, has a cultivation method that is extremely suitable for dual cultivation. Her talent may not be inferior to that girl from the Xie family. As long as she finds a suitable partner, her cultivation will immediately advance by leaps and bounds."

When Nangong Yurou was mentioned, Nangong Ya's voice became noticeably gentler.

"The remaining candidates are from the Wang family: Wang Ruixue and Wang Piaoxue."

"The members of the Cui family are Cui Lijuan and Cui Lijun."

"All four are legitimate daughters, and their cultivation levels are all quite high. Some are at the late stage of the Innate Realm, while others are Grandmasters..."

Although these two families were not as eager as the previous three, they still showed great sincerity.

Both girls were legitimate daughters of their families' top tier, but they weren't the family's prodigies.

Moreover, the people can be chosen.

"Let's present the betrothal gifts to Qingqing first, and then visit each family one by one after the wedding date is set."

Although Li Changqing had accepted the outcome, he still held firm to his own beliefs.

That means the person who marries him in the future must be someone he finds attractive, and someone who is willing to marry him.

Whether a forced relationship is sweet or not, Li Changqing would never do something like forcing someone to be sweet.

"Alright, Mother agrees."

"It's too late today; it's not appropriate to go to the betrothal ceremony tonight. Let's go to the Minister's residence first thing tomorrow morning."

"Cao Cao, Chang Le. You two come with us."

Nangong Ya clearly knew her son; the two people she chose were family members that Li Changqing could accept.

Not in name only.
