The man sitting in the middle of the crowd on the high platform was wearing a white robe that represented the status of the master of the spiritual path. His eyes were sharp and majestic. He was slightly sideways listening to the people around him. Although he did not speak, the aura he exuded was enough to scare people away. He sat there, and although there were many strong men standing beside him, as long as he was there, others would not look at others.
This person is obviously the current master of the spiritual path.
But this was not the reason that surprised Hua Shi. What really surprised Hua Shi was that he actually knew this person.
In other words, he had seen the other person before, but the other person had not seen him, because he saw the other person in the illusion of Huiguangzhu.
Although the outline was much sharper and the eyes and aura were completely different, the features of the appearance were so obvious that it would be difficult for Hua Shi to make a mistake even if he wanted to.
The current master of the spiritual path is indeed Ji Yuan, who once appeared in the Huiguangzhu illusion, the young man who often followed Liu Qishuang.
Although he had never really known Ji Yuan, Hua Shi had figured out Ji Yuan's temper from the two flashbacks in Huiguangzhu. In his opinion, this little guy had a quick temper and spoke without knowing the importance of words or manners. If it weren't for Liu Qishuang's good temper and pampering him, he would have been beaten up if he went out.
But he could never have imagined that after Liu Qishuang left, this guy not only did not get beaten up, but instead grew up and became the person with the highest status in the entire spiritual world.
Hua Shi once regarded Ji Yuan as an imaginary rival in love, thinking that this guy was incompetent and had a bad temper, but who would have known that a thousand years later, this once hot-tempered young man would have changed so much.
He looked at Ji Yuan in a daze from afar, and Fang Wei, who was living in his soul at this time, was also slightly stunned.
Even though he had some guesses about Ji Yuan's current situation, he had also thought of this possibility. But when he actually saw that the impetuous boy had grown into a calm and independent figure, he realized that too much time had passed. The old appearance had long been replaced by a new one, and the current Xuanqing Continent was a completely different landscape.
But it seems that Ji Yuan has been living well over the years.
Fang Wei thought so and couldn't help but look back at Lu Yao, who had found a corner and sat down to drink with an indifferent look on his face. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
If Lu Yao could leave Fengyu Palace and live on his own, he would definitely be able to live a good life with his strength, but he gave up all the easy paths and took the path with the most thorns.
If Lu Yao could also leave more smoothly, Fang Wei might feel more at ease.
Not being able to recall the past for too long, Fang Wei's mind was drawn elsewhere again. Zhou Li and Hua Shi followed the flow of people gradually walking towards the center of the square, and soon found the seats that had been arranged in advance for the three major families in this Spirit Transformation Conference.
Dozens of attendants had been waiting here early in the morning. When they saw the two men arrive, they served the two young masters and helped them take their seats.
The three great families have always been different from other sects. While the others were still standing in the square, squeezing together to bask in the sun, Hua Shi and Zhou Li were already sitting on chairs, being fanned by the wind and eating fruit cakes. This is also what makes the family different from other sects. The three great families have lasted for thousands of years. Although they are now only as important as the five great sects in the martial arts world, they still retain the confidence of a family and still have generous treatment at the Spiritual Transformation Conference.
Only Hua Shi and Zhou Li were present from the three great families. The remaining Wen family had no disciples to attend the Spiritual Transformation Conference this year, so they did not send anyone to the scene. Beside their seats were the elite disciples from the other five major sects. These disciples were the focus of the sect's training, or had already been reserved by the masters of other sects.
Hua Shi looked at the group of people. They were all about the same age and it was hard to see anything special about them. It was hard for Hua Shi to tell their strength just by looking at them.
However, Hua Shi could not do it, but Fang Wei could.
He could see that the strength of this group of young disciples was very good. Most of them had already reached the third level, the Red Evolution Realm, and their spiritual sea had reached the fifth level or above. Some of them had even reached the seventh level of spiritual sea, which was enough to sign contracts with extremely powerful spiritual creatures.
Although Fang Wei had spent half a year teaching Hua Shi the technique and had his personal guidance, it was still difficult to catch up with these geniuses who had been practicing since childhood in such a short period of time.
Observing the people around him, everyone arrived one after another, and the Spiritual Transformation Conference was finally about to officially begin. For Fang Wei, this process was not unfamiliar to him. He had participated in a Spiritual Transformation Conference once and personally presided over several conferences. Although a thousand years had passed, the process was not much different from the conferences he had presided over before.
Or maybe it's not that there has been no change over the years, but someone deliberately kept these old habits unchanged. Fang Wei noticed that in many of the rituals and procedures of this Spiritual Transformation Conference, the ones used were not the most traditional ones, but the ones he was used to when he temporarily took over as the Lord of the Spiritual Dao.
As for why there is no change, it is obvious that the current master of the spiritual path did it on purpose.
Fang Wei followed Hua Shi's perspective and watched the event. After the Spiritual Master spoke, the Evil Master finally arrived and walked over from the back of the crowd. He walked lazily to Ji Yuan's side with a smile on his face, and then sat down casually without even planning to say anything to the crowd. When Ji Yuan looked back at him after he finished speaking, he just smiled and shook his head, saying, "You've already said everything, so I don't need to say anything. Let's get started as soon as possible."
His casual attitude quickly attracted the surprise of everyone. Hua Shi also couldn't help but whisper to Zhou Li beside him: "Is this guy really the leader of the evil way? Why does he look a little bit..."
What's up?
Hua Shi couldn't put it into words, but he had heard people talking about the previous evil lord Fang Wei before, and the evil lord in his mind was all like Fang Wei. Now, he suddenly saw such a seemingly useless evil lord, and Hua Shi couldn't accept it for a while.
Zhou Li, on the other hand, seemed to have gotten used to it. He explained to Hua Shi softly, "It's always like this. The evil way is now in name only. The so-called evil lord is just pretending. Now the evil lord has to act according to the spirit way's mood."
Hua Shi blinked and asked, "How did this guy become the leader of the evil way?"
Thinking of the story he had heard before, about how many hardships and obstacles Fang Wei had gone through to secure his position as the leader of the evil ways, Hua Shi couldn't help but wonder why even the guy on the stage could become the leader of the evil ways.
Zhou Li said calmly, "After the devil Fang Wei died, Fengyu Palace and Chuixing Tower refused to surrender to the Spiritual Dao and stubbornly resisted for many years. Eventually, they became the destitute and miserable they are now. The people of the Blood Crow Cult understood a lot. As soon as Fang Wei died, the leader of the Blood Crow Cult, Ji Yan, surrendered."
Hua Shi suddenly understood something: "So the evil master on the stage..."
Zhou Li nodded and said, "Yes, this person is Ji Yan, the leader of the Blood Crow Cult."
Hua Shi: “…”
He couldn't help but find it a little funny: "So the leader of the evil path was actually chosen by the spiritual path."
As long as the other party is an obedient puppet and is willing to listen to Lingdao, then he is a qualified leader of the evil way.
Hua Shi did not hide his thoughts, so his ideas were heard by Fang Wei who lived in his soul. Fang Wei also thought of a lot of things, but he was not surprised at all that Ji Yan would lead the Blood Crow Cult to surrender to Ling Dao. This man was a casual guy, and he would just follow whoever made him live comfortably.
The Spirit Transformation Conference was still going on, and the Lord of the Spiritual Path and the Lord of the Evil Path had already arrived and spoken, so everyone turned their attention to the other people around them.
Sitting next to Ji Yuan and Ji Yan on the high platform were the leaders of the five major sects of the spiritual path and the evil forces. Fang Wei looked at them one by one and confirmed that these thousand years were enough for the Xuanqing Continent to undergo earth-shaking changes. During these thousand years, the leaders of the five major sects of the spiritual path had been replaced by three people, not to mention the evil forces. Now, only the Blood Crow Sect and the Wind and Rain Palace were left among the three major forces. The Star Destroying Tower had not even sent anyone. Only Lu Yao, representing the Wind and Rain Palace, was sitting in the most inconspicuous place in the corner, drinking alone.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
Hua Shi noticed where everyone was looking, and quickly asked the "Xuanqing Continent Encyclopedia" beside him: "Why are you all looking at those sect leaders and so on?"
Zhou Li explained the previous questions very quickly, but now he couldn't help but look at Hua Shi for a second longer, revealing that expression of wanting to say something but not being able to. After a long while, he admitted defeat and said, "Do you think that our search for spiritual objects in the Spirit Realm this time is all there is to the Spirit Transformation Conference?"
Hua Shi blinked and said, "Isn't it?"
"Of course not."
Hua Shi was about to ask the reason after hearing this, but he stopped suddenly. Then he realized that the person who spoke just now was not Zhou Li. The voice came from his mind. It was clearly the voice of the system.
Hua Shi was stunned: "System, you actually answered first."
Fang Wei: “…”
He had too many things on his mind just now, and he instinctively responded to Hua Shi's question. But now that he had spoken, he could no longer play dead. He continued, "What kind of spiritual objects the disciples can obtain in the Spirit Realm is important, but it is only important to that disciple. The various forces are really concerned about other things. Look at how many people have been sent by various sects around you. Do you think they are all here to see you choose spiritual objects?"
Hua Shi reacted quickly. He understood what Fang Wei meant by what he heard: "Before we came, my father seemed to have said that after the Spiritual Transformation Conference, each sect would select disciples..."
"Yes, they are here to select people." Although many years have passed since he last witnessed the Spiritual Transformation Conference, Fang Wei believes that this has not changed. "The masters of each sect will select the best of these young disciples to become their disciples and focus on training them. This is a very good opportunity for the disciples, and it is also very important for the major sects."
Hua Shi listened to Fang Wei's words and couldn't help but scratch his eyebrows in distress.
Zhou Li beside him looked at his actions and asked with a strange expression: "What are you doing?"
Hua Shi said with a bitter face: "I am thinking about how to make these sect leaders not notice me. I really don't want to be too dazzling."
Zhou Li: “…”
