So many people are heading to the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce headquarters to witness the breakthrough of its president to the Mahayana stage?
Upon hearing this, Li Qi’s heart grew even more astonished.
However, he remained outwardly composed.
What he had casually mentioned earlier about witnessing the breakthrough to the Mahayana stage was a complete fabrication.
He was actually there to cause trouble for the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce.
If he were to travel with these individuals on the way…
The speed of these people couldn't compare to his own, and having others accompany him would only be more troublesome.
Li Qi naturally could not agree to their request to travel together.
Facing the enthusiastic invitation from the three, Li Qi’s face showed a hint of apology.
“My apologies, but I am a rather solitary person and do not particularly enjoy traveling with fellow Daoists. I appreciate your kindness, but perhaps we should forgo traveling together.”
Upon hearing Li Qi’s refusal.
Sun Rong and the other two were slightly taken aback. Then, Sun Rong spoke again.
“You don’t wish to travel together? The Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce is still quite a distance from here. Even for us at the Tribulation Stage, it would take half a month to travel. Traveling alone for such a long journey is extremely tedious. Are you truly not considering it?”
For ordinary Tribulation Stage cultivators, it might take half a month, but for Li Qi, it would likely only take two or three days.
Therefore, to this repeated invitation, Li Qi gave the same response.
“Daoist friends, I apologize.”
After hearing Li Qi’s second refusal, this time Sun Rong and the other two did not continue to invite him.
A look of regret appeared on their faces, but they were not angry.
As cultivators at the Tribulation Stage, this was a very minor matter, and there was no need to get upset.
“Very well. Since you do not wish to join us, we shall not press further. We still need to head to the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce headquarters, so we shall take our leave now.”
With that said, Sun Rong and the other two did not continue to converse with Li Qi. Their figures flickered, and they continued on their journey.
Soon after, in Li Qi’s sight, the figures of Sun Rong and the other two slowly disappeared.
Li Qi did not leave immediately. Instead, his brows furrowed slightly.
From what Sun Rong and the others had said, it seemed that many powerful individuals would come to witness Qin Zhang, the president of the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce, breaking through to the Mahayana stage.
“It will be a chaotic mix of people then. With so many cultivators, could it cause trouble for my plan?”
Li Qi muttered to himself.
But soon, a cold glint flashed in Li Qi’s eyes.
“No, it seems I need to speed up my journey. If even more cultivators go to the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce headquarters to await Qin Zhang’s breakthrough, it will be much more troublesome for me to deal with the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce.”
After all, among so many cultivators, one could not rule out the possibility that someone might be friendly with the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce, or might have seen that Qin Zhang’s breakthrough to the Mahayana stage was a sure thing and come to interfere and assist.
Below the Mahayana stage, although with Li Qi going all out, they would be dealt with in a single blow, more people meant that even swatting flies would be annoying for Li Qi.
Furthermore, besides those below the Mahayana stage, there were still cultivators above the Mahayana stage in the Qing Rao Domain!
If any of them also wished to protect Qin Zhang, and a Mahayana stage cultivator intervened, Li Qi’s current plan might very well end in failure.
With this thought, Li Qi glanced again in the direction Sun Rong and the other three had departed.
Then, Li Qi’s direction shifted slightly, to avoid encountering Sun Rong and the others.
With a flicker, Li Qi’s speed once again rose to its peak as he hurtled towards the direction of the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce.
…
The perspective shifts.
In the dark, deep, and void-like realm of nothingness.
An incomparably colossal continent, at least four to five times the size of a normal small world, drifted serenely.
It was much like the headquarters of the Cang Yan Medicine Pavilion that Li Qi had annihilated in the past.
This was also an artificial continent, and it was the headquarters of the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce.
However, in reality, compared to this artificial continent that served as the headquarters of the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce, the former headquarters of the Cang Yan Medicine Pavilion seemed utterly dilapidated and barren.
There was no other reason.
A detailed look at the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce headquarters.
This artificial continent, the headquarters of the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce, was even more prosperous.
The spiritual energy was incredibly dense, almost forming mist.
Countless magnificent and glorious buildings.
The aura of powerful cultivators emanated from various parts of the continent.
Mountains, rivers, stones, and streams, countless living beings existed on this continent, except for the will of the Heavenly Dao.
This continent was no different from a small world.
Perhaps the only difference was that this artificial continent, the headquarters of the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce, was far more prosperous than many small worlds.
Even on this continent, after countless years of development by the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce.
Its population had reached an unimaginable scale.
Countless emerging powerhouses of the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce were selected from this population that had developed over the countless years of the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce.
These populations were the foundation of the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce.
From the powerful cultivators who could expand the territory for the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce and serve as fighting forces,
To ordinary people who could give birth to new offspring for the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce and cultivate the entire continent.
But correspondingly, they also enjoyed welfare and treatment that ordinary small world beings could not imagine, under the reciprocation and feedback of the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce.
And at this moment.
From all directions around the headquarters of the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce, countless figures with extraordinary auras were approaching.
This was an unimaginable number of cultivators, at the Integration Stage, the Tribulation Stage, and among these Tribulation Stage cultivators, there were even a few at the peak of the Tribulation Stage.
And at this moment, among these peak Tribulation Stage cultivators, one figure flickered out, arriving outside the continent of the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce headquarters.
A hearty laugh erupted from his aged face.
“Fellow Daoists of the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce, we have come to witness Daoist Qin Zhang’s breakthrough to the Mahayana stage!”
The next moment, a figure flickered out from within the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce headquarters.
The one who came was also a peak Tribulation Stage expert.
These were the only two peak Tribulation Stage cultivators in the Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce besides the president Qin Zhang.
“So it is Daoist Gu from the Qian Gu Small World. The Qin Yang Chamber of Commerce is deeply honored by Daoist Gu’s esteemed presence. President Qin Zhang is currently preparing his breakthrough methods, which may take another month or two. Since Daoist Gu has arrived, why not come with me? We have already prepared accommodations on the continent to entertain Daoist Gu.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Shang was slightly surprised.
“Daoist Qin Zhang’s breakthrough still requires another month or two of preparation?”
However, Gu Shang soon nodded and smiled.
“It is not a bad thing to prepare thoroughly. After all, if Daoist Qin Zhang successfully breaks through this time, he will be the sixth Mahayana stage cultivator in our Qing Rao Domain. A month or two is nothing, it is worth waiting for.”
“If that is the case, then please follow me, Daoist Gu.”
