Since he had practiced the Emperor’s Extreme Peerless Fist, there was no need for Li Qing to stay in Jizhou City forever. When he was free, Li Qing bid farewell to the Golden Lion Marquis.

“What? You’re leaving today? Why are you in such a hurry?” Marquis Golden Lion’s face was a little reluctant.

‘”Anyway, there’s nothing to do in Jizhou City. Why don’t we go somewhere else? I’m very happy to get to know someone as forthright as Lord Marquis. I’ll see you again in the future.” Li Qing smiled.

“Well, then, where are you going this time?” Marquis Golden Lion asked.

“I don’t have any goals. I just want to walk around and experience the prosperity of the Central Region.”

“Will you go to the capital of Great Zhou? If that’s the case, we might have a chance to meet again.” Marquis Golden Lion said.

“Of course I’m going. My Eldest Senior Brother still wants to find Princess Lingzhu to reunite with. Although the chances aren’t very high, I have to at least give it a try.” Li Qing smiled.

“Even if you arrive in the capital, I’m afraid you won’t be able to see my sister. May I know what good method you have to solve this problem?” Marquis Golden Lion asked.

Li Qing shook his head, “There’s no good way. King Zhendong’s strength is monstrous. How can I take Princess Lingzhu under his nose? I can only wait patiently and see if there is a suitable opportunity. Let’s take one step at a time.”

The Marquis of Golden Lion turned around and looked at Wen Xiaoxian. “I wonder if you can break through to the Void Realm in a short period of time. If you can, then my father will definitely agree to this marriage.”

Wen Xiao smiled bitterly and said, “You think too highly of me. Although I have recovered to my peak condition after half a year of recovery, I am only at the eighth level of the Xiantian realm. I don’t know how long it will take for me to reach the tenth level of the Xiantian realm, let alone break through to the Void realm.” “Even if I do manage to get there by luck, it will probably be decades from now. How can Lingzhu have so much time to wait for me?”

“Then there’s nothing I can do. My father is planning to find an outstanding young man and marry Lingzhu to him. I’m afraid you don’t have much time left.”

‘”What? How is that possible?” Wen Xiao’s expression changed. “It’s been decades. Why did you marry Lingzhu at this time?”

The Marquis of Golden Lion said, “In another year, something big will happen. You have lived in the Great Zhou Dynasty for so many years. Haven’t you heard of it?”

“Something big?” Wen Xiao was stunned for a moment. He thought about it carefully and said uncertainly, “Could it be the World Martial Arts Congress?”

The Marquis of Golden Lion nodded, “That’s right, the World Martial Arts Convention is about to be held. During this period, countless outstanding figures will go to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. At this time, my father wants to choose a son-in-law to ride a dragon.”

This was also considered a routine. If someone could perform well at the Martial Arts Convention and be ranked at the top, there would be many forces competing to recruit them. Among them, marriage was a good choice.

The Martial Arts Convention had a history of several thousand years. It was held every hundred years, and only Xiantian experts could participate in it. In this way, the number one event in the world would be decided. It was one of the best in the world.

Originally, this was not a grand event held by the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was actually created thousands of years ago by another ancient kingdom in the Middle Territories.

However, after this ancient country was destroyed by Great Zhou, it took over this grand event of the World Martial Arts Convention. It was still being held, and it had been waiting until now without interruption.

Once every hundred years, it is now the thirty-third session.

Although it was held within the Great Zhou Dynasty, all martial artists from the five regions of the world could participate. Even martial artists from hostile countries would not be a problem. Great Zhou would not persecute them.

That was why it was known as the World Martial Arts Gathering, not the Great Zhou Martial Arts Gathering.

This World Martial Arts Gathering was extremely famous. As long as one had heard of it, they would basically come to participate in it. Even in the distant War God Palace of the Southern Domain and the Towering Heaven Sect of the Northern Domain, they would come from far away.

After gathering all the martial artists in the world, these words were not empty words. When the time came, it would definitely be a gathering of experts. Even with Li Qing’s strength, he did not dare to easily say that he would win.

In this World Martial Arts Gathering, there was no restriction on any means! Even if you possess a Dao Artifact, you can still use it. Explosive coldness often occurs.

If he could win the first place in the World Martial Arts Convention, then he would truly become famous in the world. It could be said to be a great honor in the world. Even if there were no rewards, many experts would still flock to it.

Not to mention that the rewards of the Martial Arts Convention were extremely generous, how could it not cause people to go crazy?

“It was because of this World Martial Arts Convention that the Great Zhou Dynasty absorbed countless young elites and became more and more powerful.” Wen Xiao said first.

“If you can enter the top 100 in the Martial Arts Convention, you will have another chance to enter the Void World.” Marquis Golden Lion said.

“The Void World? What is that?” Li Qing was puzzled.

“In the Middle Thousand Worlds, the Laws of the Grand Dao can be manifested, allowing people to observe them directly. Because the world there was too fragile and the laws were not perfect, Void Realm experts were simply unable to enter. Even if they forcefully entered, they would still be suppressed and unable to invoke Power of heaven and earth. Therefore, Great Zhou would often send some outstanding Xiantian experts in to comprehend the Heavenly Dao Laws.

“I see! This is truly a precious opportunity!” Li Qing was instantly moved.

“If you still plan to wait for an opportunity to take Lingzhu away, then I’m afraid it won’t work. My sister will probably get married soon.” Marquis Golden Lion said.

“Then what should we do?” Wen Xiaoxian’s face turned pale.

“I have a way to get Li Qing to participate in this Martial Arts Convention. Isn’t that enough?” Marquis Golden Lion smiled.

“Oh? How will this help?”

“Those who have won the top three spots can make a request to His Majesty. As long as it is reasonable, His Majesty should agree. Li Qing, when you win the first place in the world, can’t you let Wen Xiao stay with Lingzhu first? I’m sure my father won’t be able to stop you then.”

Li Qing’s eyes lit up, “This is a good idea!”

“Li Qing, with your strength, you are able to compete with me without losing. It should be a simple matter to win the first place in the world.”

Li Qing said modestly, “How dare you underestimate the people of this world? There are always many strange people or old monsters hiding in this world. Because they are unable to break through to the Void Realm, they are constantly polishing their combat strength. I’m afraid their strength may not be any weaker.”

“You’re right. There are too many hidden experts in this world. Those who are very famous often fail early.” The Marquis of Golden Lion felt the same way. “It’s like the last Martial Arts Convention. The top three are all people I don’t know. They’re all nameless, but the result was astonishing at the Martial Arts Convention. It’s truly beyond everyone’s expectations.”

“Who was the first place winner of the last term? How strong was he?” Li Qing said.

“The first place of the previous year was called Jiang Shuiliu. It’s very difficult to assess how strong he was. He can definitely fight against the Void Realm. As for whether he can compete against you, I’m not sure.”

“Alright then, I will participate in the World Martial Arts Gathering and meet all kinds of heroes and heroes in the world. It would be even better if I could reach the top three and help Eldest Senior Brother accomplish good deeds.” Li Qing nodded.

“You are too modest. With your strength, you have a high chance of reaching first place. I have lived for so many years, but I have never seen a freak like you before.”

“Is there anyone in your palace participating?”

“Definitely. You don’t need to show mercy when the time comes. Anyway, you don’t have any friendship with them.”

“Let’s talk about it in the light of the situation.”

The Marquis of Golden Lion said, “There is still one year left before the World Martial Arts Convention begins. There is no need to rush to the capital for the time being. Why don’t you stay for a while longer and we’ll travel together?”

Li Qing was also touched by the hospitality of the other party, and then shook his head, “I need to go somewhere else. As long as I arrive at the country by the deadline, I won’t go with you.”

“Where else do you want to go?”

“I heard that there is a Northern Radiance Ruins in Jizhou. What’s the situation inside?” Li Qing asked.

“Why are you going to this place?” Marquis Golden Lion frowned slightly.

“What’s wrong?”

“That place is very strange. Killing intent is everywhere. If you’re not careful, you might die.” Marquis Golden Lion shook his head.

“Could it be the immortal’s immortal’s immortal’s immortal’s immortal’s cave?”

“No, there was a famous sect called the Divine Weapons Sect on the Northern Radiance Mountain a long time ago!”

“The name of this sect is a bit strange. Could it be that there are many divine weapons?” Li Qing asked.

Marquis Golden Lion nodded his head. “There are indeed many divine weapons, but this is not the only reason. At the beginning, this was originally a sect that refined weapons. As for later on, the situation changed.”

“What does it look like?”

The Golden Lion Marquis slowly explained to them, “This matter is quite complicated. You also know that artifact forging sects are usually not very powerful. They are all made up of artificers. They are intoxicated with artifact forging. They have no time to raise their cultivation, so they are often bullied by outsiders.”

“Originally, they would often help others forge weapons and have a wide range of friends. Many people had received their favors, so most of the time, they would help them, so there wasn’t much trouble.”

However, there was never a shortage of accidents in this world, and there would never be a shortage of outlaws. One night, a group of masked experts invaded Beimang Mountain and killed a large number of artificers. After killing a large number of artificers, they took away a large number of divine weapons and precious treasures. The Divine Weapons Sect suffered a heavy blow.

“After this incident, they finally understood that relying on others was never better than relying on themselves. Thus, they came to a painful conclusion and began to think of ways to improve their own strength in order to fight for their ability to protect themselves.”
