However, the old man was proud and aloof.
Moreover, he had made too many enemies.
It was fine in Taowei State. As for this continent …
Just the sects that Fang Yu knew had been messed up by the old man.
Therefore, in this generation, almost no one was willing to ally with the Heavenly Secrets Court.
No one was willing to be with someone like the old man.
After all, in their eyes, the old man's personality was too strange.
While they were afraid of him, they couldn't help but hate him.
However, due to the rules set at the sect meeting, no one dared to find trouble with the Heavenly Secrets Court.
Of course, with their strength, they were not qualified to find trouble with the Heavenly Secrets Court.
However, the old man was different. He had never formed an alliance with others, so he did things according to his personality.
On this continent, there were almost no sects that could control him.
As for the sects in the Ethereal State, they were too far away.
Moreover, the old man didn't do things ruthlessly. Basically, he would let it go after venting his anger.
Therefore, the various sect alliances and the leaders of the sect alliances in Taowei State turned a blind eye to this kind of thing and couldn't be bothered.
As for the sects in the Western Wilderness …
Previously, they would occasionally attend the sect meeting. After all, they were just putting on an act.
However, in the past ten years, the Fire Cloud Hall had become the leader and established the sect alliance.
Apart from the Tianli Sect, the Heavenly Thunder Sect, and a few other sects that had a grudge with them, the Fire Cloud Hall had joined forces with almost all the remaining sects. Moreover, they had become the leader of this alliance.
Not only that, with the Fire Cloud Hall's appearance, they had also roped in many northern forces.
From the looks of it, he had the intention to go against Bian Lianzhou.
The old man didn't care about this and even clapped his hands in approval.
After all, they were undoubtedly courting death by doing so.
The sect meeting was held once every five years.
By the time Fang Yu attended, it had been held more than a hundred times.
This time, it was held by the previous leader of the sect alliance. The location was in the central city of the Ethereal State. It was also the most prosperous city among the more than twenty cities in the Ethereal City, Distant Star City.
According to the old man, there were many sects participating in the sect meeting this time.
Just the continent they were on, including the Sword Sect and Qi Sect.
There were already more than forty sects.
As for the Ethereal State, there were more than a hundred of them.
This was also the first time in history that the number of sects participating in the Sect Assembly was the highest.
In the past, many sects would choose not to join in the fun.
The reason why all of them had gathered together this time was because in recent years, the strength of the northern forces had increased explosively.
There were also many sects there.
Moreover, their average strength surpassed the sects of this generation in Taowu State.
This was not the most important thing.
Most importantly, the Alliance Leader of that sect was very ambitious.
Unwilling to settle for a small state like Shire, they had long coveted Upper Taowei State.
Over the past two years, many experts had arrived in the Ethereal State one after another, sweeping away many small sects.
At this rate, it wouldn't take more than a few years for the Shire experts to sweep through the entire Taowei State.
At that time, the various sects would definitely be plunged into misery and suffering.
In order to seek stability, they had no choice but to participate in this sect meeting.
The first reason was to seek an alliance.
Secondly, they could hug each other for warmth.
Although the major sects in Liuzhou usually fought with each other non-stop.
Against external enemies, they were still considered the same.
After all, they were all in the same boat. Most of them understood the principle of being intimately interdependent.
As for the old man, he was the one who had been absent from several sect meetings.
This time, he wasn't looking for an alliance. He just wanted to see if the sects in the alliance had the strength to fight against the experts in the Shire State in the north.
With Xuan Jizi and the others, the journey didn't seem so leisurely.
Xuan Jizi and the old man chatted about everything.
Xuan Jizi's disciples were also talking about their own things. They were very excited about this trip to the Ethereal State.
They were all from the same sect and were very familiar with each other.
For a moment, Fang Yu was still sitting alone and couldn't talk at all.
In fact, it wasn't because they weren't familiar with Fang Yu.
It was because Xuan Jizi's expression just now made them a little jealous.
After all, Xuan Jizi hadn't taken in a personal disciple in all these years.
Judging from his words, he really wanted to take in Fang Yu.
If it weren't for the old man's refusal, Fang Yu might have been Xuan Jizi's personal disciple by now.
It was impossible to say that they weren't jealous!
The spirit beast continued to fly. With nothing to do, Fang Yu continued to study the crystal store.
In this crystal store, almost all the large and small items had been rummaged through by Fang Yu.
The temptation inside was too strong. In the end, Fang Yu didn't dare to look.
He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold back and squander all the crystals.
However, after rummaging through the crystal store, Fang Yu still found a detail.
The upper grade in this crystal store wasn't completely fixed.
In other words, the goods in the crystal store were divided into batches.
In each batch, there were some fixed goods.
After a period of time, these goods would be randomly refreshed.
The refreshed goods were rarely repeated. However, their grades were all very high and could be considered rare treasures.
Only the cultivation base was fixed and would never be refreshed.
However, the price was fixed as well. Not a single crystal less would be accepted!
There was still a long time before the next refresh of the crystal store. Although he didn't know if the next refresh would cause him to lose the things he had taken a fancy to.
But he wasn't worried.
Because he had enough confidence that he could gather the number of crystals before the next refresh of the crystal store …
After another two days of flying, under his feet, there was no longer a desolate area.
Gradually, they could vaguely make out the sparse buildings.
These buildings were different from the buildings of the Tianji Courtyard and the various sects. They used a special architectural method in the Taowu State.
The courtyards were connected, and there were no tall buildings.
However, relatively speaking, the space was much larger.
Fang Yu secretly estimated.
It had been almost ten days since the spirit beast set off from the Tianji Courtyard.
The spirit beast's flying speed of a hundred miles in the blink of an eye should have flown millions of miles in more than ten days.
It seemed that the Taowu State was still quite far from the continent where Fang Yu was.
It was no wonder that the sect assembly of the Misty State would only be held once every five years.
Just the round trip alone would take a month.
Moreover, there were many sects in the desert, so they would have to spend even more time.
An hour later, the spirit beast's flying speed had begun to slow down.
Under his feet, the clouds were pushed aside, and a cluster of buildings appeared.
These buildings were very unique. Looking down, they were quite orderly.
