The capital city of Great Qin, today is the date agreed upon three days prior between Li Xiaotian and the powerhouses of various factions. The forces of Yanzhou will gather in the capital to discuss the unification of Yanzhou.
In fact, even in ancient times, Yanzhou was never unified by any single force. This was because during ancient times, various forces were in a state of mutual checks and balances, and the threat from the demon race was even stronger than it is now. Humans simply did not have the time to consider unifying Yanzhou.
But now, all factions know that before their own revival, Yanzhou belonged to Great Qin and was a single entity.
And Great Qin's goal from beginning to end has been to recover lost territories and once again unify Yanzhou.
So when Li Xiaotian notified the various factions to come to the capital to discuss the unification of Yanzhou, they had long known that this day would come.
Although they were extremely unwilling, today, every sect in Yanzhou sent representatives to the capital. Moreover, those who came were all core figures of their respective sects, either the sect leader or sect elders.
"Today, powerhouses from all sides are gathered in the capital. Perhaps in ancient times, no force had such capability to gather powerhouses from every sect in Yanzhou in one place. Alas, I wonder what will happen today? Is the unification of Yanzhou good or bad?"
The sect leader of an ordinary sect murmured, his eyes filled with worry for the future. Sects like theirs had never even interacted with Great Qin from beginning to end, but after Li Xiaotian's notification, they had no choice but to come. This was because they dared not refuse the power of a hegemon.
"Hmph! Unify Yanzhou? Even overlord-level sects like the Daoist Sword Pavilion dare not harbor such thoughts. Li Xiaotian's ambition is too great."
Someone sneered, a hint of coldness flashing in their eyes. In ancient times, the various sects were independent and accustomed to freedom. Li Xiaotian's desire to unify all forces was clearly wishful thinking.
"Heh heh, if the Heaven-level powerhouses had not yet awakened, would Li Xiaotian dare to be so presumptuous? He wants to unify Yanzhou? Hmph! A junior who doesn't know how many generations removed from his ancestors, acting brazenly in front of his forefathers. His death is not far off!!"
An old man roared. In fact, these ancient people, from beginning to end, never believed they were the underdogs of Great Qin. Because in ancient times, Yanzhou originally belonged to them, and Great Qin was the invader!
"I heard that many old generation powerhouses have emerged this time. Many of them have half their bodies buried in the earth, with little lifespan left, but their strength is not to be underestimated. This time, they are using their lives to stop Li Xiaotian."
A powerhouse spoke. No one dared to provoke Li Xiaotian now, but for those ancient beings on the verge of death, dying sooner or later was all the same.
Li Xiaotian's ambition to unify Yanzhou was not something that could be achieved through strength alone. Those old antiques would absolutely not tolerate such an insult.
"It's possible there will be great chaos today. Even though Heaven-level powerhouses have not awakened, the foundations of various forces are still present. Some long-established sects may very well have dormant overlords. This time, something big is likely to happen!"
People from various sects arrived in the capital. Although they appeared friendly on the surface, and the capital was filled with lively atmosphere, undercurrents were surging in secret.
No one wanted to be trampled underfoot, especially those top sects. In ancient times, they did not fear even overlord-level sects. Now, a descendant's Great Qin wanted them to submit. This was clearly wishful thinking.
"Great Qin, Li Xiaotian, a genius, hehe, a bit too ambitious!"
An extremely ancient old man, exuding an aura of decay, appeared at the city gate of the capital. Before the soldiers at the gate could react, he suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The Great Qin soldiers at the city gate were immediately alarmed and urgently raised the alert level.
"Hiss!!! That person just now looked familiar! Judging by his aura, he seems to be from the Imperial God Sect! Who is it? Why can't I recall!"
An old man, tens of thousands of years old, frowned and murmured, his eyes showing deep thought. He had definitely seen the old man just now, but for a moment, he couldn't recall his identity.
"A powerhouse from the Imperial God Sect? Impossible. I know the sect leader and elders of the Imperial God Sect, and I haven't seen this person."
Someone nearby spoke, the sect leader of a certain sect. He looked at the old man beside him with a sense of shock.
Putting aside the old man who had just disappeared, the one before his eyes was definitely an existence of the ancient artifact level.
"It's him!!! Old man, I remember! It's him! I can't believe he's still alive!!!"
The old man exclaimed suddenly, his face full of shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Old Senior, who is it? Is there someone even more ancient than you?"
Someone nearby asked, full of curiosity.
"Shen Wuji!!!"
The old man spoke with a solemn expression.
Upon hearing the old man's words, everyone present looked confused. Shen Wuji? They had no impression of him.
"I know! Shen Wuji! The legend of the Imperial God Sect, who achieved godhood through killing, the Killing God!!"
A powerhouse exclaimed, recalling Shen Wuji's identity, his face instantly turned pale. It should be known that he was a powerhouse at the late stage of the Emperor level, and for him to change color, it was evident how terrifying the title "Killing God" was.
Hearing the title "Killing God," everyone present let out gasps of shock, their faces filled with awe.
And this scene was unfolding in various parts of the capital. Many powerhouses who had long been forgotten, even some rumored to have perished, had all emerged.
Shen Wuji, a powerhouse from the Imperial God Sect, a first-rate sect, tens of thousands of years ago in ancient times, was the most brilliant star of that era. He single-handedly killed nearly eighty percent of the geniuses of his generation, killing until no one dared to call themselves a prodigy.
Fire Boy, a sect leader from a certain generation of the Blazing Fire Sect, separated from Yan Song by at least five generations. He was accompanied by nascent fire at birth. In his prime, he single-handedly ventured into a forbidden demon territory, burning half of the forbidden area and slaying two Overlord-level Beast Emperors. Ordinary Beast Emperors were countless.
Diviner Wumu Zhenren, who could divine heaven and earth, and understand the past and future, belonged to no sect, but his shadow appeared in every major event of ancient times, and his age was known to all.
Zhan Tianxia, a powerhouse from the War Sect, a first-rate sect, had once severely injured a Heaven-level powerhouse. It was rumored that he perished while attempting to break through to Overlord level, but today he appeared in the capital.
Miao Zong's Meng Po, renowned throughout the world for her mastery of่ๆฏ (gu poison) arts, was neither good nor evil. She killed both humans and demons, and when she broke through to the Emperor level, she killed her own master. Subsequently, she was hunted by her sect, but she killed all the powerhouses of her sect and eventually took control of it. When her lifespan was nearing its end, she led the sect's powerhouses to poison and kill a Heaven-level demon beast!
Many figures who were mere legends to people of ancient times had all emerged. Each of them was a towering presence in their respective eras, and even overlord-level sects had to avoid their sharpness.
But who would have thought that because Li Xiaotian wanted to unify Yanzhou, all these people would emerge.
And at this moment, Li Xiaotian also realized the seriousness of the situation. The foundations of the ancient sects were beyond his imagination.
However, even so, Li Xiaotian had no regrets or hesitation. He had already prepared for the worst.
Moreover, regardless of how terrifying the strength of these newly emerged powerhouses was, they did not possess Heaven-level powerhouses. As long as they were not Heaven-level, Li Xiaotian was confident that he could control the overall situation!
