Xiahou Ba was not in a good mood recently. He was drinking alone.
The cause was the defeat of Beiliu Country by Zhu Lu Country a few months ago.
He did not care about the fight between the two small countries. The key was that the Rain Transformation Heavenly Master had mysteriously died because of it!
The Three Talents Imperial Art was in the hands of the Rain Transformation Heavenly Master. Now that he was dead, it was unknown who had taken the art. Trying to find it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"General, someone wants to see you." A guard reported from outside.
Xiahou Ba said impatiently, "I don't want to see anyone."
"Brother Xiahou, you don't even want to see me? I specially brought good wine." Leng Shiqi's voice came from outside.
Xiahou Ba suddenly raised his head. A trace of joy appeared on his face, but he immediately sighed. "So it's Brother Leng, King of the Western Wilderness. Please come in."
Leng Shiqi walked in with a smile and said, "Brother Xiahou, you don't look very happy. I have prepared some gifts. I hope you don't mind."
He took out a jade slip and threw it over.
Xiahou Ba's heart moved. He caught it in his hand and sank his spirit into the jade slip. He immediately saw four floating words, Three Talents Imperial Art!
"Three Talents Imperial Art!
You actually found this art! "Xiahou Ba was surprised and happy.
He originally thought that he would never get this art. Just when he was full of worry, Leng Shiqi gave it to him!
This made Xiahou Ba, who had been longing for Three Talents Imperial Art, so happy that he did not care about his identity.
He suddenly had a thought. Since the Rain Forming Heavenly Master was already dead, then where did Leng Shiqi get the cultivation method?
Or was it Leng Shiqi who killed the Rain Transformation Heavenly Master?
Leng Shiqi did not explain further and let Xiahou Ba guess blindly. "Brother Xiahou, I wonder if you are satisfied with this gift."
"Hahahaha!"
Xiahou Ba laughed heartily. He put his arm around Leng Shiqi's shoulder and said, "Brother, from now on, you're my brother. I don't dare to promise you anything else, but if you have any trouble in the Western Wilderness Prefecture, I can solve it for you!"
Leng Shiqi thought that Xiahou Ba was too realistic.
Of course, this was exactly what he wanted. He said, "Speaking of which, I do have something to trouble Brother Xiahou."
"Just say it!" Xiahou Ba seemed to have a plan in mind. He beckoned with his hand, looking heroic.
"His Majesty has already ordered me to go to the Northern Wei Empire to participate in the All Spirit Gathering …" Leng Shiqi revealed his worries about leaving the Thunderflame Empire.
Hearing that, Xiahou Ba agreed without hesitation, "So it's just a small matter. Brother Leng, don't worry, our Western Wasteland Province has always kept a close eye on those Spirit Cultivator Sects. No matter how much courage they have, they wouldn't dare to provoke the Western Wasteland King's Mansion."
As such, Leng Shiqi was relieved.
"Brother Leng, since you brought the 《Three Talents Imperial Art》, according to our agreement, you can take this jade scroll."
What was recorded inside was Xiahou Ba's self-created fist technique, Tyrannical Barrier!
After completing the transaction, Leng Shiqi exchanged a few pleasantries and left. After going through so much trouble, he finally had time to go into seclusion.
The first thing he did was to enter the Minor Five Elements Chaos Paradise. He had already been here three times.
The first time was when he participated in the Elite Meeting. The last time was when he hid his identity to participate in the First Spirit Cultivator Conference. And now, the Minor Five Elements Chaos Paradise was in his hands.
Leng Shiqi went straight to the most mysterious chaotic area. He then sat down cross-legged and began to comprehend the power of the five elements.
Time passed quietly without anyone noticing.

A year later, Northern Wei Empire, Wei Capital.
The Northern Wei Empire's capital was naturally smaller than the Thunderfire Empire's, but it was still a rare mega-city.
However, even such a large city was currently overcrowded!
It was because the Myriad Spirit Gathering held by the Northern Wei Empire was about to begin!
This Myriad Spirit Gathering could be considered the most lively event in the entire Falling Star Continent in recent years. Last time, the First Spirit Cultivator Assembly of the Thunderfire Imperial Dynasty was basically targeted at the Spirit Cultivators within their borders. Furthermore, the winners did not receive much other than fame.
The Myriad Spirit Gathering was different. The Northern Wei Empire was willing to use the Ashen Eon Realm as a reward.
Everyone who came to participate in the Myriad Spirit Gathering was aiming for the Ashen Eon Realm.
In the Wei Capital, a man and a woman were walking together in the bustling crowd.
The man was dressed in black. He was handsome and tall, and his every move exuded the aura of a superior.
He was Leng Shiqi, who had been in seclusion for a long time!
For the past year, he had been comprehending the power of the five elements in the Minor Five Elements Chaos Paradise. He had made some progress, but it was far from enough.
Now that he thought about it, it was a rare opportunity for him to comprehend the power of three through the 《Three Talents Imperial Art》.
After a long period of meditation, Leng Shiqi felt a little anxious and irritated. It was good to come out for a walk.
"This is the first time I've come to the Wei Capital after being in the Northern Wei Empire for so long. If it weren't for the Myriad Spirit Gathering, I wouldn't have been able to enter." The one who spoke was the enchanting woman. She was Nine Leave.
Nine Leave had completely recovered her cultivation!
A few days ago, Leng Shiqi came out of seclusion. Nine Leave had been recuperating in the Underworld for the past year. Perhaps it was because of this injury that her cultivation had improved, allowing her to recover to the realm of a Stage 7 great demon.
Leng Shiqi contributed a lot of Advancement Pills, allowing Nine Leave to completely recover her cultivation in just a few days!
Nine Leave's strength was close to the middle stage of the Heavenly Origin Realm after obtaining Ghost Emperor Yao Ye's inheritance. Now that she had recovered to the seventh stage, her strength was probably comparable to the late stage of the Heavenly Origin Realm.
As for Leng Shiqi himself, he wasn't sure how strong he was now. After all, he hadn't used the Tripartite Dharma Seal and the Eye of the Six Paths. He could use the Myriad Spirit Gathering to find an opponent to test.
As he walked, he said, "The Wei Capital is smaller than the Thunderblaze Empire, but the defenses are not low. Normally, with your Stage 7 great demon aura, you would be discovered before you even got close."
"The little thing you gave me doesn't have much battle strength, but it's very good at hiding aura." Nine Leave was talking about the Gu King that Leng Shiqi hadn't used for a long time.
He had lent the Gu King to Nine Leave to hide her demonic aura, which was why they could enter the Wei Capital.
Soon, the two walked into a seven story tall gorgeous building. This was the Thunderblaze Empire's encampment in the Wei Capital.
Leng Shiqi didn't deliberately change his appearance, so he was recognized as soon as he walked in. A group of people immediately came over to greet him, "Greetings, Your Highness."
One of them was short and fat, and looked very tactful. He walked forward and said, "I am Ban Ning. Your residence has already been arranged. Please follow me, Your Highness."
Leng Shiqi didn't say anything and walked away.
Everyone saw Nine Leave, but no one said anything. It was normal for the King of the West to have a beauty by his side.
Ban Ning didn't stop talking along the way. He even introduced some of the rules of the Myriad Spirit Gathering to Leng Shiqi.
The rules of the Myriad Spirit Gathering were very different from the World's First Spirit Cultivator Gathering. Back then, Leng Shiqi went through a few rounds of auditions in various cities. Only the experts who advanced in the end were qualified to come to the Imperial Capital.
However, the Myriad Spirit Gathering was different. Anyone who was willing to participate could directly come to the Wei Capital to sign up. The biggest difference was that there was no restriction on cultivation realm!
In other words, even if you were in the Spirit Transformation Realm, you could also participate in the Four Realms of Heaven and Man Unity Realm.
The premise was that you had to know your own limits!
This was specially prepared for those who had the ability to fight above their realm.
Of course, there were very few of them.
And Leng Shiqi was one of them.
