After these monks leave the mountain gate, disciples of the Wuliang Sect will record their origins in a roster, and then reach out and shake a small bell on the table. Amid the melodious sound of the bell, disciples will sing their promises in a loud voice.
"Congratulations, Master of Twelve Wuye Island!"
"Congratulations, Master Wu of Lingtian Sect!"
"Mu Zuowanghe from the Shenmu family!"
"… "
Following the chants of promise, these cultivators were led to the depths of the sect by other disciples of the Wuliang Sect. For a moment, the sky was filled with rays of light, crisscrossing between heaven and earth, and it was very lively.
Today in the Wuliang Sect, the sky is filled with colorful clouds, cranes are flying and dancing, and the forbidden formation is also emitting a refreshing and heavenly music.
Between the pavilions and palaces, there were beautiful female disciples standing in neat rows, flying in and out from time to time carrying fine wine and fairy fruits. It looked like a holy land of the immortals.
Even some monks who were used to seeing the extraordinary demeanor of immortals were amazed.
On the high platform of the square of the Laojun Peak main hall, nine people have gathered here at this time, each of them is a powerful cultivator at the Nascent Soul level.
As the most powerful sect on this continent, the Wuliang Sect certainly has more than just these Nascent Soul cultivators coming to congratulate them. In addition to the few who have just arrived, there are still some who should be on the way.
At the same time, many Yuanying monsters were either in the gate of life and death or traveling outside, so they could not come to participate in person.
However, for a large sect like the Pure Land Sect that has more than one Nascent Soul cultivator, usually only one or two people will come, and not all of them will come. They want to leave people to guard the sect.
At this time, the square below the platform was even more crowded with people. The platform was densely packed with seats, and on each seat there was the fragrance of fairy fruit and mellow wine.
And in the distant sky, there were still rays of light flying in and then falling. The leading disciple of the Wuliang Sect would lead the people he was bringing into the corresponding seats.
Among these falling rays of light, the vast majority can only fall on the square in front of the main hall, and only a very small part will fall on the platform.
Whenever the disciples in the square glanced at the high platform, there was a flash of envy and respect in their eyes.
The platform is also extremely spacious, enough to accommodate thousands of people.
At this time, the nine people on the platform gathered at the front and were talking in low voices.
Among them were Li Yan, Li Yuyin, Mo Qing and Wei Chongran. The rest included old and young, male and female, monks and laymen.
At this time, Li Yan was talking in a low voice with a monk who had a face as clear as water and handsome features.
Suddenly, the monk stopped talking. At the same time, the other dozen people also stopped talking and looked up at the sky.
There were still rays of light flying in the sky, but one of them flew straight towards the platform, reached the sky in a flash, and then hung in the air.
"Hahaha, Wuliang Tianzun, I, Hanglin, greet all of you fellow Taoists!"
The rosy glow faded, revealing a group of cultivators on a gigantic crystal jade ruyi. There were about twenty of them, and except for a disciple from the Wuliang Sect who was leading the group, all the others, both men and women, were dressed in Taoist robes.
Each of them was full of energy, and each of them had reached the Golden Core Realm. This was different from the cultivators from some sects and families who had landed on the square before.
There were some foundation-building disciples among those people before. They were obviously the next generation of elite disciples from various sects who had brought them to gain more knowledge.
Those who came from Taixuan Sect were undoubtedly the most elite core disciples.
The person who was speaking in the air was the old Taoist priest who was standing at the head with a thin figure and silver hair.
The old Taoist was in good spirits, with a ruddy complexion, a Taoist ribbon on his head and a jade hairpin inserted horizontally.
There was a gleam in his eyes as he looked at the people below. Although his gaze only passed by briefly, Li Yan below still felt that the other party's gaze lingered on him for a moment.
“I’ve heard of this person’s name before. He was a person who reached the Nascent Soul stage at about the same time as Master.
Among the monks who came here to congratulate this time, apart from some veteran Yuanying from various major sects who came in person, the Pure Land Sect and the Taixuan Sect each only had one Yuanying, and both of them had just successfully crossed the sea within the past hundred years or so."
Li Yan thought in his heart.
The former Nascent Soul cultivators on this platform included Yiye Luohan from the Pure Land Sect who arrived a day earlier, and the others who came here included some who had arrived a few days ago and some who had just arrived.
Among them are the ancestors of the first-rate sects and immortal cultivation families under the jurisdiction of the four major sects.
The handsome monk who was talking to Li Yan was none other than Yi Ye Luohan of the Pure Land Sect. The others included Nascent Soul cultivators named Ye from the Twelve Valleys of the Taixuan Sect and Nascent Soul ancestors of the Shenmu Family under the jurisdiction of the Shibuyuan.
They are under the jurisdiction of four major forces, but usually there is only one Nascent Soul cultivator in each sect, so they must come in person when they are free, unlike the three major sects who would leave strong people to guard.
"Fellow Daoist Hanglin, please take a seat!"
Mo Qing below did not say anything, but Wei Chongran gestured with a smile.
Taoist priest Hanglin had fallen down from the huge jade ruyi with his robe fluttering in the wind, and he looked like an immortal.
As he fell, the jade ruyi in the void also shrank rapidly.
The Taixuan Sect disciples who came with them also flew down and were led by the Jieyin Wangliang Sect disciple to a place in the square.
And that position is right opposite to the Nascent Soul cultivator on the high platform, and the location is very conspicuous.
There were already ten monks sitting in an area adjacent to them, all of them had the cultivation level of a Buddha, and they were monks of the Pure Land Sect.
It is obvious at a glance that the best seats in the square are reserved for disciples from the three major sects.
As Taoist Hanglin fell, Li Yan on the high platform also withdrew his gaze. In addition to looking at Taoist Hanglin, his eyes also swept over the disciples behind him.
Among those disciples, Li Yan felt that several of them looked familiar. He must have seen them in the secret realm or Fengliang Mountain before. In particular, there was a female Taoist priest who was tall and had fair skin with a rosy glow.
He was wearing a green Taoist robe, looking very heroic. His hair was tied up as a crown and his face was like the most flawless crystal jade in the world. He was none other than Qiu Jiuzhen, whom Li Yan had met several times.
Li Yan could tell at a glance that Qiu Jiuzhen's cultivation had reached the peak of the middle stage of the Golden Core, and was only one step away from the late stage of the Golden Core. This seemed only slightly inferior to that of his senior brother.
The Taixuan Sect disciples also set their sights on Li Yan and Li Yuyin, and some male disciples focused their attention more on the seductive and charming Li Yuyin.
But they only dared to pay a little attention and then looked away.
Li Yan also noticed that since Qiu Jiuzhen arrived, her beautiful eyes had been constantly looking at him, and she had not paid any attention to Li Yuyin.
There were very complicated emotions in Qiu Jiuzhen's eyes, a mixture of doubt, confirmation, relief, etc.
Li Yan knew that Qiu Jiuzhen must have been the same as Hu Chen Wuding and the others before. Before meeting him, she still doubted whether he was the person she knew.
Now that he has confirmed that it is him, Qiu Jiuzhen's mood can only be more complicated.
Li Yan even felt that Qiu Jiuzhen might now have some doubts about the cause of Quan Jiuxing's death. After all, she had been investigating Wang Lang for so many years and had not found any cause.
"Friend Li, you are truly a young generation to be feared. Our generation has only just reached the stage of infant formation, and yet you have stood out and caught up with us head and toe. It is truly admirable!"
Hang Lin landed in front of Li Yan. A light flashed behind him and flew into his waist and disappeared. It was the crystal clear jade ruyi.
Hanglin first saluted the One-Leaf Arhat beside Li Yan, and then looked at Li Yan with a smile on his face.
He and Li Yuyin are from the same generation. He is familiar with that woman. He doesn't even want to talk to her if he can have less contact with her, so he congratulated Li Yan right away.
"Fellow Daoist Hanglin, you are too kind. I am just lucky!"
Li Yan also spoke with a smile.
"Luck? Haha, who here has advanced to the Nascent Soul stage without luck..."
"Old fellow, you've been here for quite some time, but I haven't even seen you say congratulations to me. You are really looking down on me!"
At this moment, a charming voice came from the side, interrupting Hang Lin's words directly.
When Hanglin heard the voice, a bitter look appeared on his face.
In their generation, so many people were bewitched and obsessed by this woman, but in the end no one could gain any advantage, and instead, they were all fooled around.
Later on, whenever Li Yuyin appeared, unless they wanted to fight to the death, they would definitely stay away from this evil woman.
“Fellow Daoist Li, I am not familiar with Fellow Daoist Li, so I said it first. Your advancement to the Nascent Soul stage is a foregone conclusion, so I won’t give others any surprises!”
Hanglin turned his head and looked at Li Yuyin who was standing next to Wei Chongran with an angry look on her face. He was an old and experienced man, so how could he possibly make Li Yuyin angry
Just one sentence that combined criticism and denial not only praised Li Yan, but also made Li Yuyin feel happy.
"Everyone, please take your seats again. There is still about an hour and a half before the ceremony. We still have to wait for other Taoist friends to arrive!"
Wei Chongran smiled and waved his sleeves, signaling everyone to take a seat first. At this time, at least the monks from the Ten-Step Courtyard had not arrived yet.
Under the high platform, Qiu Jiuzhen lowered her head after she sat down.
"I heard that Li Yan came back from the Lost Continent. If he was able to enter the Golden Core stage, it was a miracle. But considering his legendary poor spiritual root aptitude, he was able to form a fetus. This should be his true strength...
And based on previous news, he performed well in the war with the demons and made many remarkable achievements. Could all of this be a coincidence..."
After finally confirming that Li Yan in front of him was the person who had entered the secret realm with him, Qiu Jiuzhen became even more confused for a moment.
As an elite disciple of the Taixuan Sect, she naturally received more and more complete information about Li Yan. At this time, she was wondering why such an outstanding disciple was rumored to be a person with very ordinary qualifications.
This person's name had never appeared on the list of people that the three sects were paying attention to before.
Even though Li Yan had made great contributions in instigating the rebellion of the South China Sea monks, rumors later spread that he had already died, so no one would pay attention to his past anymore.
Qiu Jiuzhen's suspicion also represents the doubts in many people's hearts, which is also what Li Yan had guessed a long time ago.
But he had no way to deal with this, unless he never formed a fetus, so as not to attract other people's attention. But who among the immortal cultivators would miss the opportunity to form a fetus
A Nascent Soul cultivator in the mortal world is bound to become famous throughout the world, whether it is the fame brought about by transcending the tribulation or the influence after success.
However, Li Yan was no longer afraid of exposing some secrets at this time. In this world, unless he encountered an old monster like Gu Jiuqi, he already had the means to protect himself.
"Senior Sister, I heard that Senior Li entered the secret realm with you guys back then. Was he really only at the Qi Condensation Stage at that time?"
At this time, a voice like an oriole came over. She was also dressed in a Taoist robe and was sitting next to Qiu Jiuzhen.
The female Taoist priest looked to be about 28 years old, with a baby face, fair and smooth skin, and a pair of big eyes that were blinking as she looked at Qiu Jiuzhen.
Qiu Jiuzhen raised his head and looked at the junior sister who had just been promoted.
"That's true. At that time, he really wasn't noticeable at all. Even among the Qi Condensation disciples, he wasn't outstanding in terms of appearance or cultivation..."
A hint of tenderness appeared on Qiu Jiuzhen's face. This junior sister was her own younger sister, and they had the same master.
This girl likes to stick to him on weekdays. Qiu Jiuzhen is also particularly fond of this little junior sister and dotes on her a little in the sect.
This time I brought him out to broaden his horizons. Seeing her asking, Qiu Jiuzhen couldn't help but explain softly...
