Yang Xi was somewhat confused as he followed Qi Zhiheng's lead and signed up. Qi Zhiheng didn't even charge him a registration fee.
Yang Yitian seized this opportunity to spread the word that Emperor Yangxi was also participating in this immortals' Daoist exchange meeting.
This prompted many of the gods and immortal emperors who hadn't originally planned to participate to join in, especially those from the Yangxi Divine Realm. The four gods from the Yangxi Divine Realm had originally intended to visit the Guiyi Divine Realm because of Qi Boxing, and they were completely stunned by this news.
Mingyi Divine Lord: "The Emperor just came to ask me about Boxing not long ago." And now he has already signed up for this matchmaking event.
"It seems our previous guess was correct; the Emperor does indeed have designs on Bo Xing!" Vast Divine Lord pursed his thin lips.
Crimson Flame God: "So what? Even if all of us come together, we are no match for the Emperor."
Starry God Lord: "We have to go and see, no matter what the outcome is."
Within the Yangxi Barrier, numerous Immortal Emperors were engaged in lively discussions.
"I heard that the Emperor has gone to the Realm of Unity to participate in a matchmaking event."
"Why did the Emperor go to the Realm of Unity? No, I have to go too. What if the Emperor notices me in the crowd?"
Stop dreaming!
...
Yang Yitian was quite satisfied as he watched the number of applicants rise sharply, and he expanded the illusionary realm once more.
The environment essentially places everyone in an illusion; by completing the challenges within, one can obtain corresponding rewards. This illusion is primarily designed to allow everyone to fully demonstrate their abilities.
Who doesn't like a strong person? Of course, you need to fully demonstrate your strength to be liked.
Of course, simply demonstrating strength is not enough. After emerging from the illusion, a meeting is needed for everyone to get to know each other.
If you have someone you like, this is the time to start communicating with them.
After arriving in the Realm of Unity, Yang Xi had not seen Qi Boxing. She wondered if Qi Boxing was avoiding her, but she couldn't find a reason to go see him.
In the end, I had to suppress this idea.
Yang Yitian, on the other hand, enthusiastically introduced Yang Xi to several single members of his family, including Qi Zhiheng's great-uncle, Yang Yitian's father, and his older brother and sister.
However, the exchanges were all rather superficial and didn't spark any real interest.
Yang Xi wasn't completely unable to see Qi Boxing; at least he could see him when he released his soul power, though this could only be considered spying...
It would be despicable to talk about this, so he certainly wouldn't dare to make it public.
However, upon closer inspection, he suddenly realized that Qi Boxing was actually quite good-looking.
Although Qi Boxing looks almost exactly like his two older brothers, Qi Zhiheng's features are unique.
The three Qi brothers are like that; they all have almost identical faces, but people can easily tell them apart.
The eldest is somewhat mature and steady, the second is somewhat carefree and irresponsible, and the third is the refined and cultured type.
After the first time he spied on Qi Boxing, Yang Xi found himself becoming a voyeur. He felt uncomfortable every day if he couldn't see what Qi Boxing was doing. He attributed this behavior to a habit.
It was all because of Qi Zhiheng's instructions that he got into the habit of watching Qi Boxing's every move when he was in the Yangxi Divine Realm, which is why he can't change it even now that he's left the Yangxi Divine Realm.
This matter caused Yang Xi great distress.
What if he can't break this habit in the future? What if he has a Daoist partner and keeps watching Qi Boxing's every move?
Yang Xi pondered for more than ten days and finally made a decision on the night before the matchmaking event!
As long as Qi Boxing doesn't become a Daoist partner with anyone else, isn't that enough?
Yang Xi stopped worrying about it. Anyway, he knew that Qi Boxing had feelings for him, and he could bring Qi Boxing back to Yang Xi's God Realm anytime he wanted!
Finally relieved and no longer troubled, Yang Xi gathered with the others in front of the illusion after dawn.
Yang Yitian said, "Everyone, today I have set up an illusion here. You can freely demonstrate your abilities within this environment, allowing everyone present to clearly see your strength. After all, we are all unfamiliar with each other, and understanding each other's levels will help us develop further. Moreover, each successful completion of the challenge will grant you some rewards that I have placed inside. Whether you can obtain them depends on your skills."
After he finished speaking, he immediately activated the illusion: "You may all enter now."
One by one, the group entered the illusion.
Although everyone has gathered together and gotten to know each other, they are clearly not able to communicate yet; they can only roll their eyes and look around.
Yang Xi also saw Qi Boxing in the crowd, but it was not a good time to meet him. He entered the illusion at a position further ahead.
The environment presented a palace scene, and they were in the main hall.
There are many challenges in the main hall. Some challenges test the strength of one's divine power, some test the degree of understanding of the laws, and others involve fighting against divine beasts.
They have expertise in various fields. Those in the main hall can observe the progress of the challenges in the rooms, allowing everyone to showcase their strengths.
After demonstrating your talents, you can receive elixirs as a reward. How many levels you can advance through depends on your individual abilities.
After that, the collective must work together to solve a difficult problem. Only after the problem is solved can the illusion be broken.
Yang Xi only realized the power of this illusion during the final group challenge, and at the same time, she began to think more highly of Yang Yitian.
He thought he was an emperor, but he was actually trapped in the environment set up by the god.
But since this illusion is not malicious, there must be a way to solve it. At first, everyone thought that with the Emperor here, they shouldn't be unable to get out.
In order to save face, Yang Xi had no choice but to refuse to participate in breaking the illusion.
Everyone thought it made sense. The Emperor's cultivation was so high; if he participated in breaking the illusion, wouldn't he lose a lot of the fun?
Qi Boxing found it somewhat amusing to see Yang Xi like this. He knew his own father well and could probably guess that even Yang Xi himself would have difficulty breaking through this illusion without using brute force.
In the end, the Qi brothers worked together to shatter the illusion, and then everyone left.
Yang Yitian greeted them outside: "Alright, everyone, please follow me to the banquet hall. We will prepare some food there. You have all been working hard for so many days, it's time for you to rest and relax."
When everyone came out of the illusion, they were not actually injured. The monsters and the challenges they encountered were all within the illusion.
Immediately, someone thought of the pills obtained in the illusion, and upon opening their storage containers, they were relieved to find that the pills were real.
The resources they contributed were roughly equivalent to the value of these pills, and they could even get more rewards if they encountered a stronger opponent.
There are many tables and chairs set up in the square, and tea and snacks are readily available.
Having already gotten a general idea of each other's strengths and character traits during the illusion, the next step is for everyone to interact.
The three Qi brothers broke the illusion and were now enjoying immense popularity. Many people wanted to get to know them, and they were currently surrounded by a crowd.
As an emperor, no one dared to approach Yang Xi for a time.
Although many people came specifically for Yang Xi, they dared not act recklessly in front of her.
Someone went up to greet him, but was intimidated by his cold tone. After saying a few words, they backed away, not daring to disturb him any further.
Clearly, they were not the Emperor's intended targets.
Yang Xi was unhappy because Qi Boxing was surrounded by too many people. He had said he liked her before, but now he was flirting with so many people. Thinking of the four gods before, Yang Xi was a little angry!
Qi Zhiheng saw that Yang Xi was alone and exuded a cold aura, giving off an unapproachable vibe that made no one dare to talk to him.
Seeing that he was all alone and looked pitiful, Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian went to talk to him.
"Lord Yangxi, did you not find a suitable candidate this time? It's alright, if we can't find one this time, we can wait until next time. We'll definitely invite you next time." Yang Yitian comforted this perpetually single man.
Yang Xi was a little embarrassed. He was getting on in years, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him to tell Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian that he wanted to become Daoist partners with their sons. So he could only nod in agreement with Yang Yitian's suggestion.
Because Yang Yitian and Qi Zhiheng kept praising Yang Xi's side, Yang Xi originally wanted to go find Qi Boxing, but in the end, she didn't go.
At this moment, Qi Zhiheng said, "Fellow Daoist Yang Xi, after this matchmaking event, please take good care of my son, Bo Xing."
Yang Xi's heart skipped a beat: "Will Bo Xing return to Yang Xi's Divine Realm?"
Qi Zhiheng assumed that his third son had caused trouble for Yang Xi, and that Yang Xi didn't want him to return. So he gave him some more pills, saying, "I'll trouble Emperor Yang Xi to take good care of him."
"I can't take this pill! But don't worry, I really like Boxing, and I'll take good care of him." Yang Xi wouldn't dare accept Qi Zhiheng's gift now, especially since he had his eyes on the man's son.
Qi Zhiheng immediately felt that Yang Xi was indeed good, but he still stuffed the pill into his hand.
Yang Xi: "..."
Yang Xi accepted the gifts, but at the same time he was thinking about what to give in return. After thinking for a while, he finally decided that he should leave them for Qi Boxing to use, so that he wouldn't feel guilty.
Looking at Yang Xi's two fathers from a distance, Qi Boyue complained, "Why are Father and Dad always by Emperor Yang Xi's side? Aren't they blocking his path to love?"
At this point, the first wave of communication basically stopped. Qi Boyue sat with his two brothers, holding his spirit pet, Fox Ren, in his arms.
He reached out and stroked the black fox from head to tail; the soft touch of its fur was pleasing to the eye.
Fox Ren let out a low growl, indicating his agreement.
