Mingyue Xin sat down as instructed, her gaze fixed intently on Li Chengtian.
After a moment of contemplation, Li Chengtian slowly said, "I plan to set off for Tianwaitian soon to rescue the sect leader of Yuefeng City."
But before that, I need you to stay in Tianqi City to monitor the movements of Beili, especially the actions of Emperor Tai'an and the Shadow Sect.
Upon hearing this, Mingyue Xin felt reluctant, but still nodded and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, Mingyue Xin will certainly live up to your expectations."
Li Chengtian nodded gently, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes: "I've always trusted you to handle things. However, there are still many forces in Beili City that haven't submitted to us yet, so you need to be extra careful."
Mingyue Xin smiled slightly and said, "Your Excellency is the same. The Heavenly Outer Heaven Protector Mountain Formation is no small matter. I hope Your Excellency will take care."
"Don't worry, the Heavenly Realm is nothing to me." Li Chengtian chuckled softly and said nothing more.
At this moment, Li Changsheng walked towards them with a smile, holding a proclamation.
After getting closer, he said to Li Chengtian, "Your Excellency, I have good news, but it's also bad news. Would you like to hear it?"
"Speak," Li Chengtian replied.
"Emperor Tai'an wants to organize a martial arts tournament between the two countries with Nanjue," Li Changsheng replied. "The good news is that you can take this opportunity to recruit more masters to your side."
The bad news is that the Northern Li royal family and the Southern Jue royal family have always been at odds. This martial arts tournament suggests that they may have begun to join forces.
Upon hearing this, Li Chengtian frowned slightly, tapping his fingers lightly on the table as if pondering Li Changsheng's words. "An alliance? Emperor Tai'an and the Southern Jue Kingdom? This is indeed an unexpected turn of events."
“Not bad,” Li Changsheng nodded, handing the proclamation to Li Chengtian. “The proclamation clearly states the purpose of the martial arts tournament.”
Ostensibly, it's a selection process for a martial arts alliance leader, but in reality, it's probably to unite the martial arts forces of both countries to jointly fight against us.
Li Chengtian took the proclamation, quickly glanced through it, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"It seems they want to use the martial arts tournament as an opportunity to test our strength and find allies. But isn't this also an opportunity for us?"
"Does Your Majesty mean...?" Mingyue Xin asked疑惑地.
“Since they’re going to hold a martial arts tournament, let’s go and join in the fun.” Li Chengtian’s eyes gleamed. “Moreover, we’ll not only join in the fun, but also make this tournament a stage for us to showcase our strength.”
I will let everyone know who the true powerhouse of this continent is.
Upon hearing this, a hint of appreciation flashed in Li Changsheng's eyes. "Your Excellency's insight is brilliant. In this way, we can not only use this opportunity to recruit more experts, but also deter those with ill intentions..."
“However,” Li Chengtian changed the subject, “this conference will undoubtedly be full of experts, so we cannot be careless. Mr. Li, you need to personally oversee it to ensure that nothing goes wrong.”
"Yes, sir." Li Changsheng bowed and agreed, already having made up his mind.
“Furthermore,” Li Chengtian looked at Mingyue Xin, “your task in Tianqi City is even more important. You will not only have to monitor the movements of the Northern Li royal family, but also pay attention to the reaction of the Southern Jue Kingdom.”
At the same time, you must secretly contact those forces that have not yet submitted to us to see if they are interested in joining our ranks.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, Mingyue will not fail in her mission."
Two days later.
Tianqi City, Jixia Academy.
After everything was ready, Li Chengtian called Wuxiang, Wuzuo, Baili Dongjun, Yueyao, and Yueqing to set off for Tianwaitian together.
He naturally had a very thorough understanding of the Outer Heavens.
The so-called mountain gate formation of the Outer Heaven is actually a barrier of the Langhuan Paradise, where Yuefeng City is in seclusion for cultivation.
Only those born with martial arts skills can enter.
Li Chengtian was naturally confident that he could enter at will, but he still invited Baili Dongjun along.
In this world, there are two people who are born with martial arts skills.
One is Ye Dingzhi, and the other is Baili Dongjun.
Ye Dingzhi has already been arranged by Li Chengtian to study under Gongzi Yu, so Baili Dongjun will have to go to Tianwaitian with him.
Firstly, it was to broaden Baili Dongjun's horizons, and secondly, it was to see if only those born with martial veins could pass through the mountain gate formation.
But just as the group stepped out of the gate of the Jixia Academy, a dashing woman carrying a rather valuable sword blocked their path.
Upon seeing this, Li Changsheng, who had come to see her off, feigned anger at the woman and said, "Xinyue, what are you doing?"
"I've come to find my husband!"
The newcomer was Li Xinyue, the successor of the Heart Sword, Lei Mengsha's wife, and the mother of Li Hanyi and Lei Wujie.
Furthermore, it is one of the four guardians of the future Apocalypse.
Of course, all of this is based on the time before Li Chengtian came to this world.
Now that Li Chengtian has arrived, Li Xinyue will no longer be one of the Four Guardians of Tianqi; she will become one of the Four Guardians of Daqing!
Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng continued Li Xinyue's words: "Xinyue, Lei Er has been arranged by the Venerable One to go to the Great Qing World for cultivation. He will be back soon. You should leave first and not delay the Venerable One's business."
Upon hearing this, Li Xinyue frowned, her eyes filled with determination and unyielding spirit. "No, I want to see Meng Sha myself and confirm that he is safe and sound. I heard that he was forced to leave, and I don't believe that he would abandon my daughter and me for no reason."
Seeing this, Li Chengtian maintained a faint smile on his face, but his eyes revealed an undeniable authority.
“Li Xinyue, I understand your concerns, but Lei Mengsha’s whereabouts were indeed arranged by me personally. He was not forced, but rather sought greater power to better protect you in the future.”
Li Xinyue gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, the tip trembling slightly, as if ready to be drawn at any moment.
"I only believe what I see and hear with my own eyes. How can I feel at ease if I can't see him?"
Just as the atmosphere was about to become tense, Li Changsheng sighed softly, and in a flash, he stood in front of Li Xinyue.
“Xin Yue, I assure you as Lei Mengsha’s teacher that he will be fine. The Venerable One would not harm him without cause. Please be patient and wait until the matter of Tianwaitian is resolved, and Lei Er will return on his own.”
Li Xinyue stared at Li Changsheng, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.
She knew Li Changsheng's importance and how much he valued Lei Mengsha. But the unease in her heart still made it hard for her to let go.
Just as she was about to retort, Li Chengtian spoke slowly, his voice gentle yet powerful: "Li Xinyue, if you really want to do something for Lei Mengsha, you should first improve your own strength."
I have a sword technique here that's perfect for you to practice. You can not only practice it yourself, but you can also pass it on to Lei Wujie in the future, so he can grow alongside you.
As he spoke, Li Chengtian flipped his wrist, and an ancient sword manual appeared in his hand, which he gently tossed to Li Xinyue. "This sword technique is called the Ice Heart Technique, which emphasizes a calm mind like still water and a sword strike as icy as ice."
If you can grasp its essence, your strength will definitely increase greatly. If you don't practice, I'm afraid you'll find it difficult to fight alongside Lei Mengsha in the future.
Li Xinyue took the sword manual, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
She knew that Li Chengtian's words were not unfounded; Lei Mengsha did indeed need stronger power to protect his family. And she herself could not become a burden to him.
She took a deep breath, her gaze resolute as she bowed to Li Chengtian. "Thank you for your guidance, Your Excellency. Li Xinyue is willing to practice this sword technique and swears to serve Your Excellency to the death. I will go through fire and water for Your Excellency without hesitation."
Li Chengtian smiled slightly and nodded. "Very good, I look forward to your growth. Now, please make way, we have important matters to attend to."
Upon hearing this, Li Xinyue silently stepped aside, watching Li Chengtian and his group's departing figures with a complex expression.
She knew that from this moment on, her fate might have quietly changed.
But she had no regrets, because it was all for Lei Mengsha, for their family.
Just as Li Chengtian and the others disappeared from sight, Young Master Liu Yue and Young Master Mo Chen slowly emerged from the shadows.
Upon approaching Li Changsheng, Young Master Liu Yue and Young Master Mo Chen bowed and greeted him, "Teacher."

Li Changsheng glanced at the two of them, and he knew exactly what they were thinking.
He looked at Young Master Liu Yue and Young Master Mo Chen and said, "Liu Yue, Mo Chen, do you two also want to go to the Outer Heavens?"
"Teacher, how did you know?" Young Master Liu Yue and Young Master Mo Chen asked in surprise at the same time.
"How could I not know what you're thinking?" Li Changsheng chuckled. "You disciples, each of you has your own mindset. But my favorite is still your eldest brother, Junyu, who is most like me."
You can do whatever you want without my permission as your teacher. Understand?
Young Master Liu Yue and Young Master Mo Chen exchanged a smile, secretly relieved that their master had seen through their thoughts but did not reprimand them.
"Thank you for your understanding, teacher." Young Master Liu Yue said with his hands clasped, his eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation. "We do want to follow you to the Outer Heavens to see what it's like. Maybe we can be of some help."
“Yes, teacher, although our cultivation is not high, more people mean more strength.” Young Master Mo Chen quickly chimed in.
Li Changsheng shook his head, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. "The Outer Heavens are not like other places; the dangers there far exceed your imagination."
However, since you are so willing, I will not stop you. But remember, you must closely follow His Majesty's lead and never act on your own.
"Yes, teacher, we understand." Young Master Liu Yue and Young Master Mo Chen replied in unison, their eyes shining with determination.
Li Changsheng nodded, his gaze lingering on the direction where Li Chengtian and the others had departed. He sighed softly, "Your Majesty's journey will certainly not be peaceful."
"Going with you might actually come in handy. But remember, only by protecting yourselves can you help others."
"Don't worry, teacher, we will." Young Master Liu Yue and Young Master Mo Chen bowed again, then hurriedly chased after Li Chengtian and the others in the direction they had left.
"Mr. Li, are you really so comfortable letting your two disciples slip away?" Mingyue Xin looked at Li Changsheng and asked with a curious expression, "You didn't realize that your two disciples' trip to Tianwaitian was a pretense, and their real purpose was to get away from Tianqi City, did you?"
"How could I not see it?" Li Changsheng retorted. "Of my seven disciples, Junyu has gone on a journey, Lei Er has gone to another world to cultivate, and Luo Xuan, Liu Yue, and Mo Chen have no ambitions in the court."
Baili Dongjun also went to the Outer Heavens with the Venerable One. As for Xiao Ruofeng, he was destined to be the one who guarded the Apocalypse.
So why wouldn't I be happy to let Luo Xuan, Liu Yue, and Mo Chen live their own lives?
Besides, I'll be here very soon...
Li Changsheng hesitated, not wanting to tell Mingyue Xin about his cultivation of the Great Chun Gong.
Because he knew that even if Mingyue Xin found out, she would be powerless to do anything about it.
"What happened to you so quickly?" Mingyue Xin asked.
