Chapter 238
Tiantian lived up to her name, being truly sweet and pleasant. She wasn’t particularly aloof, but ordinary individuals could hardly approach her for a conversation. Moreover, there was a certain aura about her. Even if some cultivators felt an attraction towards her, they often felt ashamed and dared not harbor any impure thoughts after a glance at her.
A first-grade Spirit Root, Bihai also couldn’t help but feel envious. He felt particularly envious of these geniuses. He had wasted thousands of years, and his lifespan was limited. He might remain in the mid-Nascent Soul stage for the rest of his life. However, for these geniuses, as long as they didn’t encounter bottlenecks, the Nascent Soul stage would be a smooth journey.
He silently found a place to sit down. The Returning Origin Sect was so vast that his Nascent Soul stage cultivation didn’t make him stand out. He was less eye-catching and famous than some Nascent Soul stage talents.
“Sister Tian, come over here~”
On the other side, a few female cultivators called out to invite Tiantian. She walked over and joined the group of female cultivators.
“Sister Tian, it seems like your cultivation has become even stronger~”
“Sister Tian, you’re so amazing. I’m five hundred years older than you, and I’m not as strong as you~”
The chattering of those female cultivators continued. “Chatter, chatter…”
And then, at that moment, the Returning Origin Bell rang again. Another Refinement Void expert had arrived. This time, it was someone from the Southern Realm’s Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s procession was exceptionally massive, and they rode on a white serpent over ten thousand meters long. This serpent was not a true dragon but a type of Five Elements Spiritual Beast. While it wasn’t a real dragon, its strength was formidable, having reached the Refinement stage. It was the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s sect-defining treasure, now brought by its leader.On such occasions, the two second-grade immortal sects naturally had to appear to bolster the atmosphere.
“The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has been declining year after year. In recent years, apart from their sect leader, they haven’t produced any renowned talents.”
“Yeah, unlike our Sister Tian, whose name has become well-known throughout half of the Canglan Realm.”
“Sister Tian, even some sacred places are trying to recruit you. Is that true?”
“These sacred places are everywhere, trying to poach talents. A few thousand years ago, Brother Lei was poached by one of them, and it infuriated several peak masters.”
“Have you heard about Li Su from the Northern Realm? Everyone is talking about how formidable he is, and even peak masters have personally invited him.”
“I’ve heard about it, but I always feel it might be exaggerated.”
The arrival of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect led to hushed discussions among the female cultivators around Tiantian. Two of them also mentioned Li Su.
Dang~
“At the same time, with the Returning Origin Bell ringing again, people from the Xuantian Academy also arrived.”
Soon, all the guests qualified to have the Returning Origin Bell ring for their arrival had arrived. Other guests had also arrived well in advance. The celebration was about to begin, and the Returning Origin Sect had become even more bustling.
“Why hasn’t he arrived yet?”
Peak Master Dieyun’s gaze turned towards the Returning Origin Sect, but she hadn’t seen Li Su. This time, she had invited Li Su, with one of her primary goals being to show him the might of the Returning Origin Sect. However, now that the celebration was about to begin and Li Su hadn’t arrived, she couldn’t help but worry that he might not come.
At this moment, outside the Returning Origin Sect, Li Su’s figure appeared. He was delayed because, upon arriving at the outskirts of the Returning Origin Sect, Li Su became interested in the nine veins merging into one layout of the Returning Origin Sect and conducted some research. Some Returning Origin Sect disciples appeared ahead, and Li Su flew up, handing over the invitation.
“You may enter~” Several disciples made their way for him.
Li Su was about to fly in when a figure approached.
“Fellow Taoist Li, wait a moment~”
Li Su looked, and the speaker was a fellow. This was one of Peak Master Dieyun’s disciples, Xiaoyu, who had reached the later stages of Nascent Soul.
“He’s here!”
At the same time, inside the Returning Origin Sect, Peak Master Dieyun received the notification.
“Please wait a moment. I’ll welcome a guest first.”
Addressing the many guests around, Peak Master Dieyun flew outside. Her actions immediately piqued the curiosity of many guests and the Returning Origin Sect disciples. Even with so many guests arriving earlier, Peak Master Dieyun hadn’t personally gone out to welcome anyone. At most, she would welcome guests at the outskirts of Dieyun Peak. However, she went outside the Returning Origin Sect to greet someone. Who could this person be, to be so important that Peak Master Dieyun was giving them such attention?
“Huh? Why is the peak master personally going to welcome someone? Who is this person?”
“I’m not sure, but having the Peak Master personally greet them is impressive. They might be a formidable expert, at least at the Refinement Void Peak.”
“He could also be a very skilled alchemy grandmaster.”
“…”
The disciples of the Returning Origin Sect speculated.
