However, human patience has its limits.
If Zhang Yun remains obstinate, he wouldn't mind using some special methods.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
Gong Qi's lingering spirit weighed heavily on Zhang Yun's mind.
Currently, his cultivation level is at the fourth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm. If he were to face Gong Qi, who is at the mid-stage of the Star Phenomenon Realm, even if he used all his current trump cards, his chances of winning would be less than one in ten.
Therefore, Gong Qi's current decision is advantageous to him.
This is because it only takes him a little over half a year to advance to the Star Realm.
If Gong Qi remains patient, that's fine; the real problem is if he changes his mind halfway through, which would make things more difficult.
"It seems it's time to find a suitable place to establish my own sect," Zhang Yun murmured.
He already had a rough plan for establishing a sect.
First, one must find a place that is rich in spiritual energy, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and quiet.
These three points alone are indeed very difficult for the average person to achieve.
As the Yuntian Continent has developed to this point, almost all areas with abundant spiritual energy have been occupied by various sects and forces, large and small, who have established their own sects.
However, given Zhang Yun's abilities, while achieving these points would be difficult, it's not impossible.
The next day, the sun shone brightly and the sky was clear.
After the owner of Crescent Moon Restaurant personally escorted Zhang Yun and his companions to the restaurant's entrance, Ye Qianzhi smiled and teased Zhang Yun.
"Young master, are you sure we want to leave the city now? Aren't you afraid that Gong Qi will come looking for us?"
"My Qianzhi isn't afraid, so why should I be?" Zhang Yun shook his head helplessly. "Remember, this time we're going to find the founding site of the sect. As one of the founders of the sect, you should take some responsibility, okay?"
"Alright, I'll do as you say, young master." Ye Qianzhi smiled sweetly, "May I ask what kind of position you'd like to assign me?"
"I'll let you be the sect leader, okay?" Zhang Yun rolled his eyes at Ye Qianzhi and said.
"The position of sect leader naturally belongs to the young master; Qianzhi would never dare to overstep her bounds."
Thus, Zhang Yun and the two women playfully chatted their way out of the city.
To Zhang Yun's surprise, Jian Yunxiao actually kept his promise and personally escorted Zhang Yun and the other two out of the city gate.
"Brother Zhang, take care on your journey. You are welcome to come back and visit anytime you have time."
Jian Yunxiao clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhang Yun and watched the three of them leave until they disappeared from sight. Only then did he narrow his eyes slightly and turn to leave.
Within the Holy Domain, and outside the Holy Gate, the region is further divided into the Twelve Halls of the Holy Gate.
The Twelve Palaces of the Holy Gate are subordinate forces of the Holy Gate, whose status surpasses that of the Hundred Kingdoms. They are scattered throughout the Holy Domain, assisting the Holy Gate in managing the various countries.
Therefore, the geniuses from among the hundred nations are generally first sent to one of the twelve halls of the Holy Gate, whichever is closest to them.
The Jianglan Temple is located in the northwest of the Holy Domain and governs more than ten kingdoms, including the Qin Kingdom.
Thousands of miles away from the Jianglan Holy Temple lies the Dragon Mountain Range, stretching for tens of thousands of miles. It is a mountain range where dragons and tigers crouch, and it is home to all kinds of demonic beasts from the Holy Domain. It is known as the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range and is the largest demonic beast mountain range in the Holy Domain.
Near the Beast Mountain Range, in a desolate and sparsely populated area, lies a small town called Sifang Town, which serves as a link between the human world and the world of monsters.
On this day, Sifang Town was several times more lively than usual.
This is because the annual hunting competition will be held in the Beast Mountain Range.
Zhang Tiangu is the person directly in charge of this competition.
He was born into the Jianglan Holy Temple and was a direct disciple of the temple, possessing an exceptionally noble status that made him stand out from the crowd.
He also has the right to look down on everything.
The Imperial Palace of the Qin Empire, the Crown Prince's Residence.
"What? You're saying Zhang Tiangu will personally appear at this year's hunting competition?"
A distinguished young man, somewhat excited, spoke to his personal eunuch.
The eunuch smiled, bowed, and said, "Yes, Your Highness, our chance has come."
"Zhang Tiangu... Zhang Tiangu, whether we can successfully join the Jianglan Holy Temple this time depends entirely on you."
A mysterious smile slowly appeared on Qin Wuyai's lips.
He hadn't planned to participate in this year's hunting competition, but he happened to have some news to give to Zhang Tiangu.
The pale-faced eunuch pondered for a moment and said, "However, Your Highness, how should we strike up a conversation with Zhang Tiangu?"
Although Qin Wuyai was the crown prince of the Qin Empire, he was second only to the emperor and held a position of great power within the empire.
But compared to someone like Zhang Tiangu, he still pales in comparison.
