"That's right."
Lin Ye nodded.
That was indeed the case, although there was no evidence.
However, with his level-44 Divine Perception, when he scanned the short pirate, he quietly invaded the pirate's mind with his Divine Perception and obtained this information.
He knew that Murong Xiu wanted to be the hero to save the damsel in distress and make Murong Lingling grateful.
At that time, he would use some tricks to trick Murong Lingling and enter the Murong family.
Of course, after that, he would also give the pirate some benefits.
"Damn it."
Murong Lingling was filled with hatred.
This time, if Lin Ye hadn't been with her, she might have really been finished.
She didn't expect that Murong Xiu would covet the Murong family even though the Murong family treated him so well.
"It's all in the past."
Lin Ye smiled and gently squeezed Murong Lingling's hand.
Then, he walked back to his room.
Murong Lingling and Luo Bingyue followed him in.
They chatted for a while and then left separately.
The interlude of encountering pirates on the ship quickly passed.
They quickly passed through the pirate zone and sailed in the direction of Heavenly Purification Territory.
…
"We've finally arrived at Heavenly Purification Territory."
"I wonder how Ling 'er and Xing' er are now?"
In the main ship's room, Lin Ye finished cultivating.
He muttered to himself.
After this period of time, his cultivation had reached the peak of the Creation realm.
More importantly, his Sword Intent had already reached 70%.
His strength had reached a whole new level.
"Brother Lin."
"We've arrived at Heavenly Purification Territory."
Lingxi's clear and sweet voice sounded and reached Lin Ye's ears.
"Mm."
Lin Ye walked out and nodded.
He looked at the endless coastline. There were countless ships and powerhouses on the coastline.
"This place belongs to the Yuntian Kingdom."
"It's called Rising Star City, one of the 128 major cities of the Yuntian Kingdom."
"The most powerful are the Qing family and the Zhang family. Both are seventh-rank families."
Murong Lingling explained to Lin Ye.
Before going to the Sky-sea Realm, he was more familiar with the Yuntian Kingdom.
The Murong family wasn't in Rising Star City, but their power extended here.
"A seventh-rank clan."
"One level higher than the Heavenly Sea Sect."
Lin Ye was looking forward to it.
A seventh-rank clan was even more powerful than the Heavenly Sea Sect.
There were definitely many Creation realm experts among them.
"The Heavenly Purification Region is different from the Sky-sea Realm."
"You should know that the Creation Realm is only considered the middle level in the Heavenly Purification Territory."
"Little brother Lin Ye, why don't you come with me to the Mu Rong family?"
Murong Lingling raised her beautiful face and looked at Lin Ye.
She wanted Lin Ye to go to the Murong family with her. With Lin Ye's talent, he would be able to establish himself in the Murong family.
"No need."
"I'll make a trip to the Heaven Cangxuan Sect."
Lin Ye shook his head.
To be honest, if it wasn't for Luo Xing 'er and Luo Ling' er, the Murong Family would have been a good place to stay. At least, he would have a place to stay when he first arrived.
"Alright then."
"This is the map of the Cloud Sky Kingdom."
Murong Lingling pouted. She was extremely disappointed.
She wanted Lin Ye to agree, but she knew that Lin Ye would definitely not return to the Murong family with her.
She then handed a map to Lin Ye.
It was a rough map of the Cloud Sky Kingdom, and it recorded some important cities.
Soon …
The ship docked.
Lin Ye, Luo Bingyue, Silent Soul, and Ling Xi left the ship together and headed into the distance. Although they had spent more than a month on the ship, the four of them did not plan to stay in Rising Star City.
…
Heaven Cangxuan City.
One of the 128 cities of the Cloud Sky Kingdom.
In Heaven Cangxuan City, the most famous sect was naturally the Heaven Cangxuan Sect.
The Heaven Cangxuan Sect was a sixth-rank sect.
There was only one sixth-rank force in the entire Heaven Cangxuan City. The rest were either seventh-rank or eighth-rank, or some small clans. Because the Heaven Cangxuan Sect was too powerful, they did not allow a second sixth-rank force to exist in Heaven Cangxuan City.
In the Divine Continent, the hierarchy of forces was very strict.
A ninth-rank force would have at least one Creation stage expert.
An eighth-rank force would have at least ten Creation stage experts.
A seventh-rank force would have at least one fifth-rank Creation stage expert.
A sixth-rank force would have at least one ninth-rank Creation stage expert.
As for fifth-rank forces and above, they would have existences that surpassed the Creation stage. They were either descendants of the Saint realm or had a Saint realm expert overseeing them.
The Heaven Cangxuan Sect had tens of thousands of disciples.
There were hundreds of Creation stage experts.
During this period, the Heaven Cangxuan Sect became more and more lively.
This was because the Sect Master of the Heaven Cangxuan Sect, Dongfang Tongxuan, was celebrating his eightieth birthday. Countless experts rushed to the Heaven Cangxuan Sect to celebrate Dongfang Tongxuan's birthday.
Rather than a birthday banquet, it was an opportunity to collect money.
One had to know that in Heaven Cangxuan City, the Heaven Cangxuan Sect could cover the sky with one hand, and no one dared to not attend.
If one was invited and did not attend, they would definitely be remembered by the Heaven Cangxuan Sect.
Those who were invited were basically people with status in Heaven Cangxuan City, or representatives of clans and sects.
On this day
The entire Heaven Cangxuan Sect was extraordinarily lively.
There were nearly tens of thousands of people attending the birthday banquet.
Here, they were all experts of the Void Refinement and Creation stage, and most of them were very powerful.
On the Heaven Cangxuan Square, two thousand tables were set up for the birthday banquet.
"Congratulations, Sect Master Dongfang."
"Congratulations, Sect Master Dongfang."
"Brother Dongfang, congratulations."
"Congratulations, Brother Dongfang."
One by one, experts entered the Heaven Cangxuan Sect to congratulate Dongfang Tongxuan.
At the same time, they also presented generous gifts.
Dongfang Tongxuan stood in the middle of the square, nodding and greeting the guests who came, his face beaming with joy.
As a fifth-rank Creation stage expert, he was nothing in Heaven Cangxuan City.
But he had the Heaven Cangxuan Sect behind him, and the old ancestor of the Heaven Cangxuan Sect.
Looking at the countless experts who came with gifts, Dongfang Tongxuan smiled.
After a full two hours, all the invited experts had arrived. Then, the main guests took their seats, and the female disciples of the Heaven Cangxuan Sect served the delicacies, making the birthday banquet extremely lively.
"Thank you for coming in person."
"This old man can't thank you enough."
Dongfang Tongxuan said loudly, his voice rumbling like thunder, spreading across the entire Heaven Cangxuan Square.
Although he was eighty years old, he still looked like a middle-aged man who had reached the fifth-rank Creation stage. His spirit and vitality were extremely strong, even stronger than those of the younger generation.
With that, he downed the spirit wine in his hand in one gulp.
"It's my honor to be able to attend Sect Master Dongfang's birthday banquet."
"I wish Sect Master Dongfang's cultivation to reach the next level."
"Brother Dongfang is too polite."
"I heard that Brother Dongfang's second son has become a core disciple of the Shengling Heaven Sect, what a double blessing."
"What, a core disciple of the Shengling Heaven Sect!"
"The Shengling Heaven Sect of the Heavenly Boat City, a top fifth-rank sect."
Seeing that Dongfang Tongxuan had finished his wine, the guests didn't dare to be rude and also downed their own cups. At the same time, countless congratulatory and polite voices rang out.
Gradually, someone told everyone about Dongfang Yu becoming a core disciple of the Shengling Heaven Sect.
At once, everyone at the scene was shocked. Most of them were envious.
A fifth-rank sect was a colossus.
A sixth-rank sect like the Heaven Cangxuan Sect couldn't even withstand a single blow from a fifth-rank sect.
