"Hahaha... that's great." Wang Yi retracted his palms and laughed heartily. The Cloud Manipulation Palm was a palm technique he had created using the Transforming Cloud Palm, with power more than three times greater than the latter. Although in terms of power it could not compare to the Ninety Realms, Blood Shadow Divine Art, Fengyun Sword Technique, or Netherworld Technique, the subtlety of its Suction, Stagnation Force, and gravity was unmatched by these four Seventh-Rank Martial Arts Techniques.
If used during battle, it would certainly catch opponents off guard and serve as a trump card.
"Mm." Fire Spirit nodded and smiled, saying, "I didn't expect you to be able to create your own Martial Arts; this truly surprised me. Moreover, I can see that this Martial Arts contains the three profound powers of Suction, gravity, and Stagnation Force. It is no less impressive than Sixth-Rank Martial Arts Techniques and is indeed rare." However, he was even more astonished because martial artists categorize Martial Arts into nine ranks, and very few types of Martial Arts can contain such profound powers—almost none at all. This was the true reason for Fire Spirit's surprise.
"Just luck," Wang Yi replied with a smile.
"However, if you can further develop this Martial Arts and create subsequent palm techniques, I believe the Cloud Manipulation Palm will become a significant asset for you," Fire Spirit said slowly.
"I have just created this palm technique and there are still many areas that need improvement. Once I fully master this Martial Arts, I will practice further," Wang Yi said thoughtfully.
Fire Spirit nodded.
The next day, Kaiyang Sect was decorated festively and bustling with activity.
Hundreds of forces from Xiangzhou Prefecture continuously arrived at Kaiyang Sect.
"The Rongcheng Sun Family has arrived!"
"The Rongcheng Zhang Family has arrived!"
"The Xiangcheng Chu Family has arrived!"
"The Yuecheng Wang Family has arrived!"
Iron Curtain, Zhang Liao, Jin Qinghan, and Niu Meng, as the four elders of the Outer Sect, warmly welcomed the heads of various families to the Martial Arts Plaza. A variety of delicacies and Spirit Fruits were available—flying dishes, aquatic dishes, land-based dishes—everything imaginable in abundance.
Yang Kaihe, Liu Ba, Zhou Deyu, and Xiao Renyi arranged seating for the heads of various families in the Inner Sect, showcasing the dominance of Xiangzhou Prefecture.
The heads of various families wore smiles on their faces; they all understood that today marked the day Kaiyang Sect would solidify its status as the dominant force in Xiangzhou Prefecture. No one dared to underestimate it. After all, currently, the leaders of various forces were merely at Mysterious Realm cultivation level, while only Kaiyang Sect had two Breakthrough Experts—this was unimaginable.
Liu Bei stood with his hands clasped behind his back on the stage of Kaiyang Great Hall, wearing a smile as he stroked his beard and said, "Our Kaiyang Sect owes much of its success today to you, Elder Wang!"
"The Sect Master is right, this time the Kaiyang Sect was able to survive the great calamity thanks to Elder Wang," Xiao Renyi said with a smile.
Yang Kaihe and the others all nodded in agreement.
"The Sect Master overpraises me; Wang Yi does not dare to take credit," Wang Yi replied respectfully.
"Hahaha, big brother, you should not be modest. Although the Kaiyang Sect owes its current state to our efforts, the main credit belongs to you!" Niu Meng, despite being an elder, still behaved in a boisterous manner.
"Xiangcheng Zhao Family Yunlong Chamber of Commerce Zhao President has arrived..."
"Xue Er, they are here," Wang Yi exclaimed joyfully upon hearing the announcement.
"Elder Wang, a beautiful woman is arriving; why don't you go greet her?" Liu Bei laughed heartily at the sight of Wang Yi, who showed a hint of eagerness on his face.
Hahaha...
Everyone burst into laughter at this.
Wang Yi's face turned red; he swiftly transformed into a shadow and disappeared from the hall.
In the next moment, an extraordinary woman dressed in pink appeared before Wang Yi. Her beautiful hair danced gently, her willow-like eyebrows arched like a crescent moon, and her captivating eyes were enchanting. With a delicate nose and blushing cheeks, her lips were like flowers, pure and beautiful. Her skin was smooth and fair as snow, and her graceful figure made her seem like a fairy descended from heaven.
"Wang Yi," Zhao Ruixue looked at the remarkable Wang Yi, her eyes filled with joy as two rosy blushes appeared on her cheeks.
"Xue Er," Wang Yi said with delight, pulling the beautiful woman into his embrace, enveloped in her fragrant scent that was utterly intoxicating.
"I didn't expect that the Elder Wang of the Kaiyang Sect would be fond of Zhao President."
"Sigh, I had originally planned to betroth my daughter to Elder Wang, but it seems that hope is lost now."
"With your daughter, does she even match up to Elder Wang? My daughter is far more beautiful and worthy of Elder Wang."
The heads of various families were astonished to see Elder Wang of the Kaiyang Sect embracing Zhao Ruixue, his face clearly showing affection. Immediately, discussions erupted among them, with many expressing regret and looking enviously at the elder from the Zhao Family.
Zhao Sheng and Zhao Qi both showed joy on their faces. Wang Yi had become a Breakthrough Expert at such a young age, a talent rarely seen in the Song Kingdom. It was likely that he would become one of the Top Ten Powerhouses in the Song Kingdom in the future, making the Zhao Family a dominant force.
"Cough, cough, I have met Elder Wang," Zhao Sheng said, noticing that Wang Yi was holding his niece without any intention of letting go. He pretended to cough a couple of times and added, "Elder Wang, the ceremony is about to begin; you see..." He gestured towards the crowd around them, his old face turning red.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruixue's face turned crimson as she buried her head in Wang Yi's sturdy chest, her expression filled with happiness.
Wang Yi paused for a moment, glanced at the crowd discussing among themselves, and affectionately said to Zhao Ruixue, "Xue Er, why don't you go rest for a bit? I'll come find you later."
"Okay." Zhao Ruixue nodded gently, brushed her hair behind her ear, and blushingly said, "Alright, Uncle and Second Uncle, let's take our seats first."
"Good." Zhao Sheng and his companion both looked pleased and nodded in agreement. They cupped their hands towards Wang Yi and said, "Elder Wang, please." Although they were old enough to be Wang Yi's grandfathers, they did not dare to act superior in front of him since his cultivation and strength far surpassed theirs.
Afterward, Wang Yi encountered familiar faces at the ceremony: He Shan and his son Heber Fu. The three chatted for a while; although they still laughed as before, Wang Yi could sense the respect that He Shan and his son held for him—a respect reserved for strong individuals. Even the boisterous Heber Fu spoke with less bravado than usual.
However, Heber Fu quickly bonded with Niu Meng over drinks and food, enjoying themselves heartily.
Additionally, Wang Yi saw the Zhang Family trio but did not spot Zhang Wanyou. According to Zhang Liang, she had married off to Jin Kingdom.
"Today marks the grand ceremony of the Kaiyang Sect. It is an honor for Liu Bei to have you all here," Liu Bei said with a smile as he stood up. "Our Kaiyang Sect has decided to allocate one-third of Wen Cang Sect's assets to all of you."
"Ah!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned before erupting into joy. It was known that Wen Cang Sect was one of the two major powers in Xiangzhou Prefecture, controlling nearly one-third of its assets. The wealth of each family paled in comparison to Wen Cang Sect; even if it were divided among them all, it would still be a substantial fortune.
"Liu Zongzhu, is this true?"
"Yes! Liu Zongzhu, are you not deceiving us?"
"Everyone calm down; our Kaiyang Sect's words are as solid as gold—there is no falsehood here. Shortly, we will distribute the assets among you," Liu Bei said with a smile, seemingly unconcerned.
Seeing the joy on everyone's faces, Liu Bei nodded to himself. Although giving up some assets would reduce the income of the Kaiyang Sect, it gained the support of various families, which was more important than anything else.
"Alright, now I announce..." Liu Bei said with a smile, raising his voice.
"The Crown Prince has arrived."
At that moment, a dry voice interrupted Liu Bei.
"The Crown Prince is here?"
"What? I didn't expect the Crown Prince to attend the Kaiyang Sect ceremony!"
"The Crown Prince's arrival must mean there is something significant to announce; otherwise, he wouldn't come in person."
"Could it be about Zhou Mengling's death?"
Everyone knew that although Zhou Mengling was not favored by Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin, he was still a dignified Prime Minister of the country. If news of his death at the hands of a child spread to other nations, it would become a laughingstock.
To everyone's surprise, when Liu Bei heard that the Crown Prince had arrived, he did not show any joy on his face. Instead, a trace of solemnity flashed across his expression as his gaze flickered. He murmured, "The Crown Prince comes at this time; could it be that something significant has happened?"
"Master, we should go greet him first," Yang Kaihe said with a slight change in expression, glancing at Wang Yi before addressing Liu Bei.
Liu Bei nodded and looked around at everyone before saying loudly, "I invite you all to join me in welcoming the Crown Prince."
The Crown Prince represented The Song Dynasty Court, and no one dared to be negligent. They quickly nodded in agreement.
"Wang Yi, you have met the Crown Prince before; you should also go," Liu Bei said to Wang Yi.
"Yes, Master," Wang Yi replied with a flash of understanding in his eyes.
At that moment, a hearty laugh echoed through the air.
"Ha ha ha, congratulations to Liu Zongzhu, congratulations to Liu Zongzhu. Zhao Xuan comes uninvited, please forgive me, Liu Zongzhu."
As soon as the words fell, a tall and handsome young man with bright eyes laughed heartily and strode forward against the wind. As he walked, an imposing aura unconsciously emanated from him, displaying an extraordinary demeanor.
Behind him followed a gray-clad old man, hunched over with a face full of wrinkles that resembled terrifying ravines. His complexion was waxy yellow, and his hands were hidden in his sleeves, leaning on a cane that seemed neither wood nor metal nor ink. His eyes were slightly squinted, as if they were not fully open, but occasionally a glimmer of brilliance could be seen shooting out from them.
Wang Yi's gaze lingered on Zhao Xuan for a moment before shifting to the Gray-Robed Elder, and his pupils suddenly constricted: "Breakthrough Four." It turned out that when he faced this old man before, he had no power to resist; he was actually a Breakthrough Expert. However, Wang Yi felt no fear.
"Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince," everyone said in unison.
"Everyone, please be exempt from formalities." Zhao Xuan raised his hand slightly to signal everyone to rise, then looked at Liu Bei and said, "Liu Zongzhu, congratulations."
"It is an honor for Kaiyang Sect to have His Highness visit. Please take a seat," Liu Bei said respectfully with cupped hands.
"Mm." Zhao Xuan nodded with a smile and walked in front of Wang Yi, waving his hand and saying, "It has been a year since we last met; I hope you have been well, Wang brother."
"Wang Yi greets His Highness the Crown Prince." Wang Yi appeared calm and showed no signs of flattery as he cupped his hands in salute.
"Come, brother Wang, sit with me. I came here specifically for you!" Zhao Xuan said sincerely.
