How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

"Senior Brother Ning, Senior Sister Qingcheng, and fellow mage brothers, you all heard what was said just now, right? Should we participate in this Heavenly Pride Arena?"

"Of course we should go, otherwise this trip to Zhongzhou would be pointless," Ning Tian said.

"Alright, tomorrow we'll travel around and head towards Tiandu City. This month will be enough time for us to gain experience on the road," Mu Qingcheng agreed.

"Alright, let's find an inn to rest for the night and set off tomorrow."

At this moment, a guest arrived at the Tianji Tower.

"Haha... Elder Murong Bo, it is truly an honor for our Heavenly Mystery Pavilion to grace us with your presence today."

"It's been a long time since I last met Master Ji. Your cultivation has improved considerably."

"Hahaha... Elder Murong Bo, you flatter me. Come! Please take a seat."

"Someone, bring tea."

A short while later, a disciple brought up the tea.

Murong Bo glanced at the disciple, then at Ji Changkong.

Ji Changkong immediately understood; this person wanted to speak to him privately. So he said to his disciple, "You may leave now. Don't let anyone in to disturb you unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Yes, OP..."

"You're too kind, Master Ji," Murong Bo said.

"Elder Murong Bo, have you come to my Tianji Tower today because you need my help? If it is something we can do, my Tianji Tower will certainly not refuse."

"You're too kind, Master Ji. I do have something to ask Tianji Tower today."

"Oh? What is it, Elder Murong Bo? Please speak."

"Alright, I won't beat around the bush. I've come today to ask how the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion views the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect?"

Why did Elder Murong ask about the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect? We don't have any particular opinion about the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect.

"Lord Ji, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion must be aware that the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect acquired another Great Emperor-level demonic beast a couple of days ago! With this beast, the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect now has ten Great Emperors, and even more Quasi-Emperors. Aren't you, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, afraid that the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect will unify the entire Xuanhuang Continent?"

"Elder Murong, your words are a bit alarmist! The Myriad Laws Emperor Sect is indeed very strong, but they have never provoked any trouble. The Heavenly Fiend Hall overestimated itself and tried to assassinate their sect leader, which is why they were destroyed. The Xiao family also brought this upon themselves and were destroyed. Apart from that, they haven't made any moves. So, our Heavenly Mystery Pavilion has a pretty good impression of the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect."

"Does Master Ji really trust the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect that much? Aren't you afraid they might actually have that ambition?"

"Elder Murong, our Tianji Tower has always only engaged in business and rarely participates in worldly disputes. Therefore, we at Tianji Tower will maintain a calm attitude towards the Wanfa Emperor Sect and will not feel dissatisfied just because they are strong."

"Alright then! I apologize for disturbing you today, Master Ji. I hope you won't take offense. I have important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now," Murong Bo said.

"Elder Murong Bo, you're being a bit too polite. There's no such thing as disturbing you. It's already an honor for our Tianji Tower that you've come."

"Haha, you're too kind, Master Ji."

"Someone, please see Elder Murong Bo off."

Forbidden area of ​​Tianji Tower...

"Ancestor, the Murong family has just arrived."

"Oh? What did they say to you?"

"Ancestor, they asked us, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, what our view is on the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect, and whether we are afraid that the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect will unify the entire Xuanhuang Continent."

The old man of the Heavenly Secrets stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and then said, "They probably want to test our opinion of the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect. If we show dissatisfaction with the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect, they will join forces with us to deal with it."

"Ancestor, that's what I think too. That's why I said that our Heavenly Mystery Pavilion has no opinion on the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect. We should take everything in stride."

"These imperial clans and holy lands have dominated the Xuanhuang Continent for so long. Now that a sect with strength far surpassing theirs has suddenly appeared, they will definitely be dissatisfied and will not allow such a sect to look down on them. Therefore, they will definitely unite to deal with the Myriad Laws Imperial Sect."

The old man was right; that's what I think too.

"Alas! These are truly turbulent times. In just over three years, the Path to Immortality will open, and the Great Emperors from beyond the stars will return. A great war is inevitable on the Xuanhuang Continent. You've handled this matter well; our Heavenly Mystery Pavilion will not participate."

"Yes... Ancestor, then we, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, will observe the situation and wait and see."

Meanwhile, at Guiyuan Sword Pavilion... Liu Bai was drinking tea and chatting with the Guiyuan Pavilion Master.

"Does Brother Liu mean to wait and see?"

"Indeed, there's no need for our two cabinets to get involved in this conflict."

"Brother Liu, are you so sure that Qinglan Academy and Tianji Tower won't intervene?"

"I'm 90% sure they'll make the same choice as us. Qinglan Academy has always been aloof from worldly affairs, only opening its doors to accept disciples. They rarely venture into the world, even less often than your Sword Pavilion. Do you think they'd be foolish enough to join this war?"

"The same goes for the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. They have calculated everything under heaven, so they would never get involved for the sake of such a reputation."

"Brother Liu, aren't you afraid that if we stay out of it, and these imperial clans and holy lands win this conflict, they might turn around and deal with us?"

"Hahaha... Brother Guiyuan, how much strength do you think they'll have left after dealing with the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect? Don't forget, the four of us can also unite. If you push us too far, I'll directly help the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect fight them and wipe them out."

"Hahaha...you business people are really shrewd!"

"Brother Guiyuan, please stop making fun of me."

"Brother Liu, I'm not making fun of you. When it comes to shrewdness, we are indeed no match for you, hahaha..."

"Next, let's give Qinglan Academy and Tianji Tower a heads-up so everyone is aware of the situation. Then I'd like to personally inform the Wanfa Emperor Sect of this news."

"Brother Liu, do you mean to inform the Myriad Laws Imperial Sect about the potential alliance between several imperial clans and holy lands?"

"That's right. I want the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect to be prepared so that they won't be caught off guard by the major families in the future."

"Brother Liu, do you really trust the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect that much? Aren't you afraid that after they win, they'll turn against us and dominate the entire Xuanhuang Continent?"

"According to the intelligence that Yiyi gathered in the Eastern Region, the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect is extremely clear about its actions. If you offend them, they will definitely destroy you. Conversely, as long as you befriend them, they are extremely generous."

"Two things demonstrate that the Wanfa Emperor Sect is very disciplined and never indiscriminately kills innocent people. First, when the Wanfo Temple in the Western Regions joined forces with an Eastern Region dynasty to deal with the Wanfa Emperor Sect, after the Wanfo Temple and the dynasty were destroyed, in order to prevent the dynasty from descending into chaos and to prevent the people of the dynasty from suffering, the Wanfa Emperor Sect decisively took action, pushed a capable person to become emperor, and also introduced many policies that were good for the people."

"The second one is the Xiao family. The older generation of the Xiao family is senile and wants the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect to be their dogs. Back then, the sect master of the Myriad Laws Sect spared the younger generation of the Xiao family because of the great emperor's contributions to the Xuanhuang Continent, so that the Xiao family line would not be cut off."

"That's why I say the Myriad Laws Imperial Sect acts with principle. If I had to choose, I would definitely choose the Myriad Laws Imperial Sect. Brother Guiyuan knows better than I do who those imperial clans and holy lands are."

"When it comes to gathering information, apart from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, no force on the Xuanhuang Continent is more powerful than your Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. Unbeknownst to many, you have already collected so much information about the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect."

"Hahaha... Brother Guiyuan, you flatter us. We just happen to have a lot of shops, so we are well-informed."

"According to Brother Liu, the Myriad Laws Imperial Sect does indeed follow the rules, and is much more upright than those imperial clans."

"Then, I'll trouble Brother Guiyuan to go to Qinglan Academy and Tianji Tower and make it clear that our two pavilions will not participate in this conflict. I'll go to Wanfa Emperor Sect to make sure they are prepared for this matter."

Alright, as Brother Liu suggested, I will personally visit Qinglan Academy and Tianji Tower.
