183: Wushuang Sect Grand Gathering

"What a grand display! The Peerless Sect has truly made a name for itself this time. Their Sect Master Chu Feng advanced to the Saint Realm not long ago, gaining unrivaled prestige. His Personal Disciple, who is making a high-profile return from seclusion, I wonder what Realm he has reached."

"That's nothing. Their Disciple who went out for a few years and awakened an Imperial Rank Bloodline is truly terrifying."

"You're talking about Lu Wu, right! My Senior Brother from the Endless Sea Region returned a few days ago and told us about his glorious achievements. After Awakening his Bloodline during his years abroad, he immediately killed a Saint Rank Third Heaven expert upon his emergence and founded the Blade Emperor Alliance. It's truly enviable!"

"I wonder what kind of luck the Peerless Sect stumbled upon to produce an Imperial Scion. If Lu Wu truly returns, the Peerless Sect will have found a powerful backer!"

"It's said that the reason this gathering is so grand is that even the emperors of neighboring Empires are coming, all for Lu Wu. With an Imperial Clan right before their eyes, how could these major powers not come to curry favor?"

"Heh heh, no matter the reason, in short, the Peerless Sect has gained immense Face. Even the Grand Elders of many Sects have come to attend this gathering."

"Heh heh, you've only mentioned these two. What about that other one you dare not speak of?"

"Brother, you're talking about the first madman of the Endless Sea Region—Ji Mo, right!"

"You guys might not dare to speak, but I don't care. He's my idol. No matter how powerful Lu Wu is, even with an Imperial Rank Bloodline, I still think my idol is stronger."

"I agree with that too. The name 'Madman Ji Mo' is truly well-deserved. Since he entered the Endless Sea Region, he's either been fighting people or on his way to fight people, and he's gotten more and more intense, more and more ferocious, until half a year ago when no one in the Endless Sea Region dared to show their Face."

"His deeds are simply legendary, making him a representative figure for those of us without backing or special Bloodlines."

"Who still dares to say that us common folk cannot grow into influential figures?"

"I just wonder if my idol will return this time. I truly look forward to his arrival."

These people used the gathering to chat, discuss, and catch up with each other.

"Look quickly, the high-ranking members of the Peerless Sect are entering."

Suddenly, someone shouted loudly, drawing everyone's attention.

At an entrance on the innermost side of the plaza, dozens of Void Shattering Realm and hundreds of Condensing Gang Realm Cultivators first entered the plaza, heading towards their respective positions.

Next, Chu Feng, with a Holy Wheel on his back, entered, his expression full of excitement and smugness. He came to a seat on the plaza, cupped his hands, and performed a respectful bow.

Everyone who came gave Face, and the chaotic noise immediately ceased. All eyes were fixed on Chu Feng, awaiting his next words.

The moment he saw Chu Feng, a flash of killing intent flickered in Ji Mo's eyes, and he sneered, "I'll let you be smug for a while. You won't have a chance to smile later."

Just then, a long congratulatory announcement came.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, His Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Wind Empire, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Yan Empire, accompanied by a host of ministers, have arrived!"

In the distant sky, three teams of people simultaneously approached from three directions. Each team was enveloped in Holy Light, with Dragon-pulled carriages, exuding an imposing aura.

"Jade Maiden Sect has arrived!"

"Divine Blade Gate has arrived!"

"Myriad Sword Gate has arrived!"

"Blood Slaughter Gate has arrived!"

"Blood Sect has arrived!"

...One after another, large and small forces all rushed over. Each force was led by a Saint Realm Expert, showing great prestige.

"Hundred Flowers Empire has arrived!"

"Red Sea Empire has arrived!"

"Qilin Empire has arrived!"

...Next, eight or nine out of ten of the royal families of the Xuanling Continent successively arrived.

At this moment, this small Peerless Sect had gathered eight or nine out of ten of the important figures of the Xuanling Continent.

Above the sky, brilliant lights and colors flickered, and various Sacred Beasts, normally unseen, were everywhere.

Leaving aside these Sects, these emperors, whether in status or Bloodline, were terrifyingly noble. At this time, they kept their distance from each other, suspended in different directions, with thick Saint Might continuously spreading, showcasing the peak military power of their Empires.

The observers from the smaller forces in the plaza had never seen such a grand scene before. Even the unfathomable Saint Rank experts were present in droves, causing them to tremble with excitement.

Looking at everyone from the Peerless Sect on the high platform, they were beaming with joy and full of pride. Today was surely the most glorious day for the Peerless Sect.

"Chu Feng, how dare you! On the land of my Heavenly Dragon Empire, you dare to invite people from other Empires without my permission. Are you no longer putting me in your eyes?"

Just then, a question interrupted Chu Feng's pleasant thoughts.

"Emperor, I have achieved the Saint position, and from now on, I am free from worldly etiquette. In terms of status, I am equal to you, and we are no longer in a lord-vassal relationship. For you to question me again, I'm afraid it's a bit too much."

"Besides, these are all my guests and have nothing to do with the Empire. Emperor, you're being a bit too meddlesome, aren't you?"

Chu Feng's expression was calm, and he did not rise. His tone was also quite flat, showing none of his usual respect towards the Emperor. In his words, he no longer held the Emperor in regard.

A flicker of anger flashed across the Emperor's brows, then settled, his expression unreadable, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

The Saint Rank experts behind him, however, were not pleased. Their anger erupted, wanting to lash out, but the Emperor waved his hand, making them suppress it.

"Haha, Sect Master Chu is right. Today, we are here as friends to observe the ceremony. You are being overly sensitive."

The other emperors also echoed in agreement. The Heavenly Dragon Empire's Emperor closed his eyes and ignored these people.

Seeing that the main character wasn't responding, these people naturally felt bored.

In a corner of the plaza, Ji Mo and Elder Mu were whispering together.

"Lad Ji Mo, are you scared by this scene? There are over a hundred Saint Rank experts here."

Ji Mo chuckled, "Scared? Elder Mu, you're underestimating me. I'm only excited right now; my blood is burning."

"To deliver a fatal blow to the Peerless Sect at its most glorious moment, how satisfying that would be! I feel no pressure now, only a desire to kill to my heart's content."

"Hahaha! Lad Ji Mo, you truly have my demeanor from back in the day!" Elder Mu also looked on with admiration.

At this time, the guests had basically all arrived, and the timing was just right.

On the high platform, Chu Feng and Ancestor Tianhong exchanged glances and nodded slightly.

"My Disciple, Song Jianyi, achieved Acquired Great Perfection three years ago and entered my Peerless Sect's Secret Realm for secluded cultivation. Today marks the completion of his cultivation. Now, I invite my Personal Disciple, Song Jianyi!"

Suddenly, in the depths of the Holy Land, a towering Holy Pillar lit up. Immediately after, a handsome young man was seen approaching from afar, like a Sword Immortal Lin Chen.

"Did I see that right! He's glowing with Holy Light!"

"How is that possible! He's actually a Saint Rank expert?"

"Heavens! Wasn't he only at the Acquired Perfection Realm before entering seclusion?"

"Three years, only three years of seclusion to reach the Saint Rank. What kind of Prodigy talent is this!"

"Saint Realm! This is the Realm I've pursued my entire life, yet he achieved my life's pursuit in just three years. Truly, comparing people is enough to make one die!"

As soon as Song Jianyi appeared, his cultivation base was fully displayed, creating a sensation that pleased them.
