The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 2452 - 2329: Under Heaven Wanderer of Kunxu

Chapter 2452: Chapter 2329: Under Heaven Wanderer of Kunxu

Not long after Libu Zheng left, several Elders gradually arrived in the Great Hall. After paying respects to Li Zhengyi, they sat aside, waiting for all the Elders to be present before starting the council meeting!

Li Zhengyi sat high up, and only after the Grand Elder of Li Family entered the hall did he slowly say, "Today I’ve called everyone here to discuss the matter of Lin Bai!"

"I bestowed a piece of Divine Iron upon Lin Bai and let him delve into the Great Sun Chasing Skill. Do you think this is somewhat unfair?"

Li Zhengyi’s eyes were as sharp as a torch, surveying the surrounding crowd and looking at all the Elders present.

Upon hearing these words from Li Zhengyi, all the Elders of Li Family squinted their eyes simultaneously, exchanged glances, and began to secretly convey their thoughts back and forth, discussing how to respond to Li Zhengyi.

Li Zhengyi’s eyes scanned the room, finally resting on the Grand Elder of Li Family. He saw the Elder furrowed his brows, heavily preoccupied, yet still biting his lip and refraining from speaking a word!

Li Zhengyi smiled and said, "Grand Elder, just speak freely!"

The Grand Elder of Li Family sighed lightly and helplessly stood up, clasped his fists, and said, "Since the Patriarch wants me to speak, then I will speak!"

"Originally, I shouldn’t interfere in this matter. Lin Bai has done me a favor by saving my son in the Heavenly Saber Tribe; I should be intervening to speak for him. However, today, as the Patriarch asks, concerning the Li Family, I have no choice but to speak!"

The Grand Elder of Li Family looked at Li Zhengyi solemnly and said, "Patriarch, throughout history, the Kunxu Seventy-Two Skills have been secret within our Li Family, and anyone besides the Patriarch who wishes to cultivate must acquire the Patriarch’s consent!"

"Moreover, to cultivate the Kunxu Seventy-Two Skills, one must be a talented disciple of the family, such as Libu Zheng, Lidao Yuan, Libu Xian, and others!"

"Or a warrior who has made outstanding contributions to the Li Family, or a prodigious talent unparalleled in the generation!"

"But as for Lin Bai, although he saved the Li Family disciple at the Heavenly Saber Tribe, the Patriarch’s reward with a piece of Divine Iron is already sufficient, and if Lin Bai wishes to delve into the Great Sun Chasing Skill, he... probably still lacks much qualification!"

The Grand Elder of Li Family said solemnly.

After hearing the Grand Elder of Li Family finish speaking, Li Zhengyi laughed and asked, "Do all the Elders present agree with this?"

All the Elders stood up, clasped fists, and said, "We all follow the Grand Elder’s lead!"

Li Zhengyi nodded, furrowing his brows, then said, "Indeed, I handled this matter recklessly. Although Lin Bai saved the Li Family disciple at the Heavenly Saber Tribe, his contribution to Kunxu is not enough for delving into the Kunxu Seventy-Two Skills!"

"However, now that he is already inside, it is impossible for me to expel him!"

"After all, he is the Saint of Dongzhou Academy; coming to Kunxu is also for cultivation. Even if I do not give face to this junior, I should give face to Dongzhou Academy!"

Li Zhengyi said lightly.

Upon hearing Li Zhengyi’s words, all the Elders remained silent.

Li Zhengyi scanned the room, seeing the Elders all silent, pretended to ponder for a long time, then said, "Since all the Elders say Lin Bai does not have the qualification to cultivate Kunxu Seventy-Two Skills, but now that I have allowed him in, let it be!"

"Moreover, to cultivate the Kunxu Seventy-Two Skills requires making outstanding contributions to Kunxu Li Family, or being an unparalleled talent. Such assessments are too challenging; few have been able to achieve this throughout history!"

"Since this matter was handled recklessly by me!"

"Then naturally I must take responsibility!"

"Grand Elder..."

Li Zhengyi called.

The Grand Elder of Li Family clasped fists and said, "Patriarch, your commands!"

Li Zhengyi said, "I intend to hold a Martial Arts Competition in Li Family!"

"For this competition, any warrior who can enter the top ten, whether from the main family, side branch, or offshoot, will be granted an opportunity to delve into the Kunxu Seventy-Two Skills!"

"Simultaneously, these ten individuals will be trained as the next Lord of Kunxu!"

"Certainly, the first of this competition, when venturing outside in the future, will wander Under Heaven as a Kunxu disciple, meaning the first of this competition will be the Under Heaven Wanderer of Kunxu!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Grand Elder, what’s your opinion?"

Li Zhengyi asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder’s pupils fiercely contracted, shocked as he looked at Li Zhengyi: "Patriarch..."

All the Elders present couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath.

"The top ten in the competition can get the opportunity to delve into the Kunxu Seventy-Two Skills!"

"This is a qualification that only the Young Master of Kunxu and the main family can have!"

"And these ten individuals are all being trained as the Lord of Kunxu!"

"The first one is the Under Heaven Wanderer of Kunxu!"

"Throughout history, the Under Heaven Wanderer of Kunxu is the future Lord of Kunxu!"

"This is fortune, fortune... this is an opportunity of fortune!"

"..."

All the Elders exclaimed one after another.

Libu Zheng’s expression became solemn upon hearing these words.

Li Zhengyi laughed, "I relaxed the qualification restrictions for Lin Bai, so naturally I must also relax the qualification restrictions for the disciples of Kunxu Li Family, Grand Elder, do you have any objections?"

The Grand Elder said solemnly, "If the Patriarch can discard the restrictions between the main family and side branches, graciously granting the top ten warriors the opportunity to delve into the Kunxu Seventy-Two Skills, that will truly be the blessing of Kunxu!"

Li Zhengyi said, "Since the Grand Elder has no objections, leave this matter to you to arrange, set the time three months later, and allow any warrior under thirty within the Li Family to participate regardless of state!"

"Moreover, I will have a warrior with tremendous strength defend during the competition!"

"Unless they can obtain this warrior’s approval, they will not be able to delve into the Kunxu Seventy-Two Skills!"

"Grand Elder, if you understand, then make arrangements!"

Li Zhengyi said.

The Grand Elder asked, "Patriarch, do you know who you would choose as the defending warrior for this competition? Is it an elder from the Elder Pavilion?"

Li Zhengyi said, "I have made the arrangements, you just need to handle everything else well!"

"Thank you, Patriarch!" The Grand Elder said gratefully.

"Thank you, Patriarch!" All the Elders said, clasping their fists in gratitude.

Afterward, these Elders left the Conference Hall to begin organizing warriors to participate in the competition.

After all, this will be a battle like fish leaping over the Dragon Gate!

This battle, if entering the top ten, one will soar to great heights!

After all the Elders left, Libu Zheng stood expressionless in front of Li Zhengyi.

Li Zhengyi smiled, "Zheng!"

Libu Zheng clasped his fists and said, "Father!"

Li Zhengyi smiled, "Do you blame me?"

Libu Zheng pondered for a long time and said, "No, if other Li Family disciples are really more excellent and more suitable than me to become the Lord of Kunxu, I’m willing to offer up the position of Lord of Kunxu!"

"All for Kunxu!"

Li Zhengyi shook his head and said, "Do you think I am doing this solely for Kunxu?"

Libu Zheng looked at Li Zhengyi, puzzled, not understanding his words.

Li Zhengyi said, "I must put pressure on you, you have lived too peacefully!"

Libu Zheng furrowed his brow, at a loss!

Li Zhengyi’s words suddenly became sharp, and he fixed his eyes on Libu Zheng, saying, "You have been too comfortable these years, do you think merely being able to keep pace with Lidao Yuan is enough?"

"Zheng, we are fighting a war, in this battle, the weak, will inevitably die!"

"Go prepare, prepare!"

"I want you... no matter the cost, no matter the means, seize the first place in this competition, and become the Under Heaven Wanderer of Kunxu!"

Li Zhengyi said solemnly.

Libu Zheng said, "I will give it my all!"
