Chapter 915: Chapter 914: Year-End Grand Event (Part 2)

Everyone burst into laughter because Wang Mian did indeed have a very painful childhood, but amidst the laughter, everyone relaxed.

Fang Yazi then turned to the main topic, “Senior Brother is fine, he will return, the only difference is what kind of flamboyant way he’ll choose to come back? My unease is not about that, but rather this time the Outer Space star seems somewhat different from the last time it appeared?”

He was one of Hou Niao’s earliest brothers, fighting alongside him from before entering the Dao, and now his skills are among the best in the group of brothers, so over the sixty years he has become Hou Niao’s de facto representative within the Quanzhen Sect.

Mao Qifeng nodded, “Fang Senior Brother is right, the last time the star approached, we saw it from the vacuum hole months ahead; but this time the vacuum hole appeared very late, Sui Mo City’s sky was constantly cloud-covered without any response, until today it suddenly revealed a vacuum hole, and the star is already very near, what does this mean?”

Li Shipeng interjected, having spent most of his years focusing on the Grassland, “Does this mean that the establishment of the space passage is not going smoothly? Is it due to human reasons? Or celestial phenomena?”

Wang Mian just laughed, “If Senior Brother is inside, then it’s definitely because of human reasons!”

Everyone expressed their agreement, where Hou Senior Brother is, things are always a mess with endless situations, this is proven by countless facts.

“That female sword cultivator named Yue Duo, do you think Senior Brother has managed to win her over? One hundred top-grade Spirit Stones, I’ll bet!”

Everyone started betting, most betting on Senior Brother having succeeded, only Rao Zongzhi had a different view, “Isn’t there a possibility that Senior Brother got tricked?”

Wang Mian snickered, “That’s a matter of posture, doesn’t affect the essence.”

Everyone laughed carelessly, the more tense they felt inside, the more indifferent they appeared; this is not about whether a fellow sword cultivator can return, but about the future position of the Sword Sect within the Jinxiu Continent Cultivation World, it’s foreseeable every Daoist sect will be strengthened due to coming Upper Realm inheritances, it depends on whether the change is significant, if you stagnate or only make limited progress, you’ll be left behind, this is the essence of everyone’s anxiety.

If the Sword Sect falls behind in such competition, what will they face?

“Currently in the Jinxiu Continent Cultivation World, the Daoist Sect is quite arrogant.” Li Shipeng is the most gifted at intelligence gathering among them, now already recruited into Sikong Mansion, outside there’s talk of the Sikong Twins with Li, an old Li who is cunning and crafty, a young Li who is ruthless and hard-hearted.

Zong Qian deeply agreed, “It’s not just because last time the Twelve Upper Realms’ envoys included five from the Daoist Sect, they just see this as a sign of prosperity for the Jinxiu Daoist Sect, with the Upper Realm backing them, their words and actions are much bolder than before.

Actually, it’s not just the Daoist Sect, there’s also the Buddhist Sect, even including the Northwest Qin Sect and Yunzhang Blood Transformation.”

Daoist and Buddhist Sects feel they’ve finally waited for their organization, it’s inevitable, after all the Daoist tendencies among the Twelve Envoys have fully proven this point; but among these twelve, the appearance of Xuanwu Wei Yi and Blood River Gu Zai offers hope to the Qin Sect and Blood Transformation Sect, they realized their backing is strong enough to wrestle with top Daoist sects.

The Qin Sect is easy to discuss, they have no entanglements with the Shan Sect Quanzhen, treating each other with respect, occasionally joining forces, occasionally having friction, but none of it matters; but Yunzhang Blood Transformation Sect, both being Southwest Demon Sect, have always been the most loyal little brother to the Shan Sect Quanzhen, firm alliance, because of Gu Zai’s appearance they have a slight shift in attitude, not that they’ve become estranged from the Quanzhen Sect, but rather showing an intent to gain greater voice.

Such a tendency is very realistic, before the Upper Realm envoys truly descend, everything is still unclear.

In idle talk, the Big Star in the vacuum hole became increasingly clear, the Jinxiu cultivators knew the mystery was about to be revealed; memories of the grandeur from the last Upper Realm visitors were still fresh, wondering what spectacular scene it would be this time?

At Sui Mo Nine Towns, at Heavenly Heart Pavilion, in every corner around Sui Mo City, innumerable cultivators gathered according to their Daoist sects, neatly ascending into the air, awaiting the arrival of Upper Realm Angels.

One can’t blame the Jinxiu Cultivation Realm for lacking backbone or self-respect, after all for two thousand years their Daoist sect heritage has been bestowed by the Upper Realm, it’s a solid fact, a relationship with heritage ties, close yet distant.

Knowing the wealthy host is coming to aid, the poor relatives putting on a presentable display is understandable, hoping the wealthy host’s fingers open up a bit more…

Just short of spreading yellow earth for roads, sprinkling clean water on the streets, joyous cheers, drums echoing the sky…

In the Cultivation World, strength is the king, and this is why the Nascent Soul Masters don’t wish to come forward, as a Nascent Soul Great Cultivation receiving such Upper Realm minor cultivates is undignified, so only the disciples have gone to the forefront.

Every Daoist sect hopes to have its own affiliate among the envoys, which would enhance their strength; yet no sect wants to have an affiliate, as it may ultimately lead to their authority being sidelined, becoming a vassal to the cosmic Daoist sect.

In such a complex and contradictory mindset, the Big Star, like last time, stopped at a very close distance, immediately, a white light flashed.

Everyone knew this was the prelude to the space passage opening, the Jinxiu cultivators remained expectant, just waiting for the white light to pass and the Upper Realm angels to make their dazzling entrance…

In the next moment, they felt an escape light swiftly streaking across the sky, heading into the distance, and such escape shadows grew increasingly numerous, seemingly endless, not merely twelve, nor even hundreds, but hundreds upon thousands, as if with the white light a beehive exploded, countless bees scattering and fleeing.

For a moment, no one could react to what exactly occurred, and even if there was some reaction, they couldn’t stop it, it was simply too many, reaching thousands.

Each hidden and masked, every uninvited guest, in just a dozen breaths of time, the vacuum passage was already empty, completely deserted.

Actually no, there’s still one person leisurely, slowly hanging back, wandering out, everyone looked up, oh, it’s still an old acquaintance, Hou Niao from Heavenly Dog Star.

Hou Niao glanced at the line-up in Sui Mo City, he couldn’t help but sigh, everything happened too quickly and suddenly, even he did not expect it; it’s unclear whether it’s because of the Medicine King Furnace or the result of the pounding pestle, this time the space passage opened not just limited to those who entered the crevice, but was open to the entire Hell Star.

All the cultivation prisoners on this day, it’s unknown who organized whom, everyone gathered outside the Green Mist of Medicine King Furnace, as soon as the passage opened, they immediately flooded in…

One can imagine, prisoners confined for decades to centuries, doomed never to gain freedom, what would their reaction be once they rush out? That would naturally be everyone scattering like birds and beasts, who cares about the rules of the Jinxiu Continent?
