In the blink of an eye, Ye Qing had been in the Levitation Heavenly Palace for two months.
Recently, something big happened in the Levitation Heavenly Palace. Elder Nangong Hongchen's cultivation had reached the Celestial Phenomenon Realm!
There were very few Celestial Phenomenon Elders in the Levitation Heavenly Palace. They were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
Nangong Hongchen's cultivation had improved and he had contributed greatly to the Levitation Heavenly Palace by handing over the Ancient Xuanyuan Sword. He was recognized by the Palace Master and was going to take over the position of the Vice Palace Master.
The Vice Palace Master of the Levitation Heavenly Palace was superior to the Elders.
After Nangong Hongchen took over the position of the Vice Palace Master, he invited the other sects to attend the banquet.
The ninety-eight Holy Disciples and core disciples of the Levitation Heavenly Palace were allowed to attend the banquet.
As a red-clothed core disciple of the Levitation Heavenly Palace, Ye Qing was invited, but he wasn't interested in Nangong Hongchen's succession ceremony.
It was more comfortable to cultivate in the palace. Ye Qing's cultivation had reached the peak of the third level of the Heaven Martial Realm. He only needed one more step to reach the fourth level of the Heaven Martial Realm.
Recently, he had refined many Holy Herbs and absorbed many good Heavenly Pills. The bottleneck of his cultivation was loosening and he was not far from a breakthrough.
Just as the news of Nangong Hongchen's Vice Palace Master's Inauguration Ceremony spread, a guest came to Ye Qing's palace. It was Ling Shuiqin.
Ling Shuiqin was Nangong Hongchen's beloved disciple. She had to attend the Vice Palace Master's Inauguration Ceremony.
Ling Shuiqin went to Ye Qing's palace and invited Ye Qing.
In the magnificent palace, Ye Qing and Ling Shuiqin sat opposite each other. Ling Shuiqin said slowly, "Young Master Ye, you're invited to join the sect by Master. Although you're not Master's disciple, you're still part of Master's faction. You have to attend the Inauguration Ceremony!"
Ye Qing did not take Ling Shuiqin's words to heart. He had always ignored the rules.
"If I don't go, it doesn't seem to affect anything, right?" Ye Qing said with a smile.
Ling Shuiqin looked a little worried and said faintly, "You don't know that many experts from the big sects in the Heaven Realm will come to congratulate Master on his succession ceremony. Our Levitation Heavenly Palace has obtained the fragment of the Xuanyuan Ancient Sword and we have become the target of public criticism. It will not be peaceful at the banquet!"
Ling Shuiqin spoke tirelessly. Ye Qing was smart enough to understand what Ling Shuiqin meant.
The major sects in the Heaven Realm had always been fighting against each other. Therefore, during Nangong Hongchen's succession ceremony, those big shots in the ninth level of the Sky Martial Realm or Celestial Phenomenon Realm would not fight against each other.
Great figures would not easily take action, and if they wanted to suppress the spirit of the Levitation Heavenly Palace, they could only rely on the geniuses of the younger generation.
There were some outstanding core disciples in each of the major sects. There would be some fights among the core disciples during the succession ceremony of Nangong Hongchen.
Ling Shuiqin's intention was to let Ye Qing suppress the situation. She believed that Ye Qing had heaven-defying strength and could suppress all the heroes.
"Why should I go?
It doesn't seem to be beneficial to me! "Ye Qing said indifferently.
Ling Shuiqin spread out her hands and said helplessly, "It's not completely useless. If you protect the face of the Levitation Heavenly Palace, the Palace Master may give you priority when you are promoted to a Holy Disciple in the future!
You know, in every Holy Disciple Challenge, there are many core disciples who win, but in the end, not all of them can become Holy Disciples. After all, the number of Holy Disciples is limited. "
Ye Qing's expression was calm. Ling Shuiqin's words were somewhat interesting. There might be a Holy Disciple who was defeated by two core disciples. In that case, it would be up to the higher-ups of the sect to decide who would be promoted to a Holy Disciple.
"This reason may not be enough, but there should be people from the Highest Profound Purity Palace at the banquet!" Ye Qing did not want to go at first, but when he thought of the Highest Profound Purity Palace, he changed his mind.
In the past, Ye Qing had a deep enmity with Xuanji of the Highest Profound Purity Palace. He had always wanted to find an opportunity to deal with Xuanji.
Xuanji might be on the invitation list for Nangong Hongchen's banquet. With Ye Qing's current strength, even if he could not kill Xuanji, he could at least make him suffer!
"Ling Shuiqin, is Xuanji of the Highest Profound Purity Palace on the invitation list?" Ye Qing asked with a burning gaze.
Ling Shuiqin nodded. Xuanji of the Highest Profound Purity Palace was a peak existence among the elders.
Many of the elders of the Highest Profound Purity Palace were only in the ninth level of the Heaven Martial Realm.
Xuanji's cultivation had already broken through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm and could not be compared to the ninth level of the Heaven Martial Realm.
In the past, Xuanji had descended to the human world and wanted to kill Ye Qing. However, that was only a clone of Xuanji, who only had the cultivation of the ninth level of the Heaven Martial Realm.
The true body of Old Daoist Profound Secrets was completely different. He was a heaven-shaking expert at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
As an important figure of the Highest Profound Purity Palace, Xuanji was naturally on the invitation list of the Levitation Heavenly Palace.
Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts were the top fighting strength in the various sects in the Heaven Realm. Every additional Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert would raise the status of the sect by a level.
Nangong Hongchen of the Levitation Heavenly Palace had broken through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. It was a major event in the entire Heaven Realm. Many important figures would come to congratulate him.
After hearing Ling Shuiqin's confirmation, Ye Qing's eyes suddenly emitted a cold light. He nodded and agreed.
Even if there was no other reason, it would be good enough just to see his old friend, Xuanji.
There were still three days before Nangong Hongchen's succession ceremony. Ling Shuiqin was overjoyed that Ye Qing had agreed to attend the banquet.
In Ling Shuiqin's opinion, as long as Ye Qing attended the banquet, it would not be easy for the geniuses of the other sects to cause trouble!
Three days passed in the twinkling of an eye.
Nangong Hongchen's succession ceremony was held in the magnificent palace of the Levitation Heavenly Palace.
The palace floating in the sky welcomed many guests. They were all important figures of the various sects. There were also many core disciples and even Holy Disciples.
The team of the Highest Profound Purity Palace was led by Xuanji. Although he was not the Deputy Palace Master of the Highest Profound Purity Palace, he was strong enough to represent the Highest Profound Purity Palace at the banquet.
After all, the Levitation Heavenly Palace only had a new Deputy Palace Master. There was no need for the leader of the Highest Profound Purity Palace to personally come to congratulate him.
The Highest Profound Purity Palace had already given face to the Levitation Heavenly Palace by sending Xuanji.
In fact, most of the first-rate sects in the Heaven Realm were led by their Deputy Palace Masters or elders.
Of course, some of the second-rate or third-rate sects in the Heaven Realm had their leaders come in person.
There were not many first-rate sects in the Heaven Realm. The Highest Profound Purity Palace, the Levitation Heavenly Palace, the Lingxiao Sword Sect, and the Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect could be considered first-rate sects.
The other sects in the Heaven Realm were only second-rate sects. Nangong Hongchen of the Levitation Heavenly Palace was appointed as the Deputy Palace Master. The leaders of the second-rate sects did not dare to neglect him and had to attend the banquet in person.
