Seeing that Li Feng was silent and deep in thought with his eyes closed, Wu Yi did not disturb him. After all, no matter who receives so much information at once, it will take time for him to accept it.
Herlin pondered for a moment and asked
"After the source of magic was sealed, why do magic cultivators still exist?"
"The seal is just a seal, not an annihilation, so the demon cultivators still exist and cannot be completely eliminated. However, the situation is much better now than it was a thousand years ago. According to our intelligence, since a thousand years ago, the demon cultivators have not produced a sword saint-level strongman. Even the sword emperor-level strongmen can be counted on the fingers of one hand."
"Oh? I see."
Herlin was silent for a moment and then asked
"Why can't I advance to Sword Saint after reaching Great Perfection as Sword Emperor?"
Speaking of Li Feng's cultivation, Wu Yi was also envious.
"Because of the limitations of heaven and earth, the four major sword sects have a fixed number of Sword Saints, four for each. Our Bishui Sword Sect's allocation is based on the four leaders of the Myriad Demon Islands. When they become the leaders of the sword sect and the older generation of Sword Saints pass away, they can be promoted to Sword Saints."
There's actually a quota limit! Just like the Origin Mark, why do people like to play this game?
Herlin frowned and asked
"Without exceptions?"
"Of course there are exceptions. During times of calamity, restrictions will be lifted, or if one possesses sufficient merit, restrictions can be broken through!"
"A calamity of heaven and earth? A blessing from heaven and earth? I see. Now I understand what's going on."
This is the Heavenly Dao forcing the Sword Emperor and Sword Saint to do more Heavenly Dao merits! How amazing!
The merits of the way of heaven and the merits of the way of man are different, and sometimes even completely opposite.
I also understand why these two levels are called "Emperor" and "Saint".
The 'Emperor' commands all spirits and is the bridge between the Way of Heaven and the Way of Man. One should act first, then act after Heaven.
A sage understands the will of Heaven and represents Heaven's way among humans. They must act in complete accordance with Heaven.
"Master Wu has shared so many secrets with me, which have benefited me greatly. He has done me a great favor. What can I do for you?"
Wu Yi laughed
"In a year and a half, I hope that Island Master Li can take over the Four Symbols Demon Sealing Ceremony on my behalf."
"Are there any side effects to presiding over a large formation?"
"There are indeed side effects, but they're not serious. It's much better than the second time, but it still takes a toll on your vitality! You'll need to retreat for twenty to thirty years to recover. And since you're the heir of the Four Symbols bloodline, the side effects might be much smaller than mine."
Now is the period of founding the country, and naturally we cannot lose our support at this time.
"Is there anything special about the Four Symbols bloodline inheritor presiding over the formation?"
"As far as I know, not really. However, according to the historical records of Lord Li Qing regarding the arrangements for the inheritors of the Four Symbols bloodline, it was to replace Azure Dragon. Since he can replace Azure Dragon, he can naturally replace Black Tortoise as well. I believe that with Island Master Li's Four Symbols bloodline, he can definitely do better than me. The formation may have an even more powerful effect."
"How did you find out that my sister is the inheritor of the Four Symbols bloodline?" Three months ago, Wu Yi asked Li Yu to replace him, so he must have known that Li Yu had the Black Tortoise bloodline.
"This is the secret technique of the Xuanwu Wu family. It can determine whether a person possesses the Xuanwu bloodline. The other three families should also have similar secret techniques! After I discovered that Li Yu possesses the Xuanwu bloodline, and based on the intelligence that your biological mother is the former Holy Maiden of the Sea of Fire, combined with your name, I can deduce your origins and conclude that you two are the inheritors of the Four Symbols bloodline."
I see.
"This matter is a bit sudden, I need to think about it."
"Of course. By the way, because of the 'university federation system' proposed by Island Master Li, he has become very famous. Three months ago, people from the three sects sent envoys here, but I stopped them. I wonder if Island Master Li would like to meet with them?"
"Thank you, Master Wu, for helping me resolve my problems and allowing me to practice in seclusion. Now that I've emerged from seclusion, I must meet you."
"Okay, I'll arrange it for you right away, right at..."
"I'll go back to the Sea Dragon Hall on Xuanwu Island to meet them. Otherwise, it would be against etiquette."
Wu Yi was stunned and said with a smile
"good."
Looking at Li Feng's leaving back, Wu Yi felt a little annoyed.
"We should have met in the White Tiger Hall. This was a great opportunity to earn a favor! It was also a way to send a signal to the outside world that I had won over Li Feng. But Li Feng, after obtaining the thousand-year-old secret, turned around and left me alone to meet with the three sect envoys. Well, he was the villain who blocked the three sect envoys, but the good guy didn't get his share! Does Li Feng really not know the ins and outs of this, or is he doing it on purpose?!"
He Lin sat in the Sea Dragon Hall, recalled the conversation with Wu Yi, and shook his head.
"As you level up, the swordsmen you meet start to look more and more like politicians."
Perhaps because there is no hope of upgrading, they are no longer enthusiastic about cultivation, and instead start to care about those struggles for power and profit.
This reminded Herlin of the three great sorcerers of Nanzhao. Their long reign had preoccupied them with these conspiracies and schemes, leading to a stagnation in their research into the sorcerer's cultivation system. Despite being born decades before wizards, Herlin had surpassed them in a matter of years, ascended to the Saint stage, annihilated them, and annexed their cultivation system, turning it into a branch of the wizard system.
"This may also be the intention of Heaven. That's why there is the concept of Heaven and Earth's merit, to guide their selfish thoughts and distractions in a direction that is beneficial to Heaven."
A swordsman reports from outside the main hall
"Master, Lin Hao, the envoy of the Tianshan Sword Sect, requests to see you."
