CHAPTER 143: CHAPTER 143: WHITE FEATHER SWORD SAINT

"Hmm!"

White Feather Sword Saint’s expression remained unchanged, still composed.

"Please!"

Yin Xuer handed him over to another guiding disciple.

This time, it was Luo Yuan’s turn to laugh at her.

"Is this your guest?"

Yin Xuer put on a mournful face, "Isn’t it? When I walked through a village of the Gu Yan Dynasty, I heard someone mention the title of Sword Saint."

"I thought if the Saint Tier arrived, the Sect Leader would definitely be pleased, so I braced myself to invite him."

"Back then, his courtyard door was closed. I could only state my purpose outside. Afraid to upset the Saint Tier, I didn’t dare use Divine Thought to probe."

"He was quite straightforward and agreed from a distance immediately."

"Then I found out, he was just an Innate Expert of the Mortal World..."

Her explanation left Luo Yuan wide-eyed and stunned, and he then laughed maliciously.

"You’re done for; the Sect Leader might faint from anger because of you."

After entering the Secret Realm, Zhao Hongde immediately lost his calm.

If it wasn’t for a disciple leading the way ahead, he might have danced and shouted in excitement.

The Spiritual Qi here was just too concentrated, it was beyond his imagination.

Just taking a few breaths, he noticed his realm had loosened somewhat.

This, this, this, is this the Sacred Land?

This should be called an Immortal Realm!

Before coming, he was downcast because being selected to come here actually counted as a sacrifice for his family.

Before leaving, various stewards gave him sympathetic looks.

As if he was going to the execution ground.

Now, he suddenly felt that no matter how the future turned out, just being able to enter here once was worthwhile.

At this point, there were already more than three hundred guests in the Reception Hall, most, like him, were only in the Gathering Yuan Realm, Soul Splitting Realm.

The highest cultivation among them was only at the Spirit Platform realm.

Everyone was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, unable to remain calm, marveling at everything here.

Soon, they were surprised to see someone in the Body Tempering Realm being brought in.

Only upon reaching the Condensing Vein Realm do you truly enter the ranks of a Cultivator.

Body Tempering Realm can only be considered mortal.

No way, even mortals are eligible to be invited into such an Immortal Realm?

Suddenly, they all felt that their own status didn’t seem too bad.

White Feather Sword Saint entered, but he didn’t look around like them, his expression remained as calm as ever.

As soon as the guiding disciple left, he immediately sat cross-legged and began to meditate and cultivate.

Everyone chuckled softly.

How normal.

Several among them had just broken through their realm after entering, some even broke through two levels successively.

Because the Spiritual Qi here was just too abundant.

For this mortal in the Ninth Layer of Body Tempering, this should be the greatest opportunity of his life.

Suddenly, the mortal’s aura changed abruptly.

Ascending into the Condensing Vein Realm.

Zhao Hongde jokingly cupped his hands towards him, "Brother, congratulations, you’ve gained the most this time."

"Hahaha..."

"He’s really hit the jackpot."

Everyone in the hall burst into laughter.

Isn’t it, coming as a guest, breaking through to a great realm.

Though they spoke words of congratulations, they truly weren’t envious, as the realm was too low.

White Feather Sword Saint, however, paid them no mind, still immersed in cultivation.

"Seems he’s been holding back for long."

"Yes, with a low foundational realm, maybe he can break through two more levels."

"I bet on three!"

"Then I’ll be bold and set a big goal, bet he’ll ascend to Condensing Vein Fifth Layer in one go!"

The crowd became interested.

As time passed, the mortal’s realm indeed kept rising.

But gradually, they could no longer laugh.

Because this mortal kept breaking through to Condensing Vein Ninth Layer without stopping.

In just half a moment, he blasted through the barrier of Energy-Introducing Realm, becoming an Energy-Introducing First Layer Cultivator.

Moreover, he was still cultivating.

"This... does he not need realm comprehension?"

"Perhaps his previous cultivation conditions were too poor, just short of Spirit Stone Elixirs?"

"Even if that’s the case, breaking through two great realms in succession so smoothly is still too outrageous."

It’s known that realm comprehension, without reaching a certain level, cannot produce insights into the next realm.

White Feather Sword Saint finally stopped after breaking through to Energy-Introducing Third Layer.

Though his realm was still the lowest, he counted as a legitimate cultivator now.

By then, the Reception Hall had over two thousand guests.

Luo Yuan and Yin Xuer both appeared.

"The Immortal Sect’s grand opening ceremony is about to start."

"We kindly ask everyone to relocate."

"The Sect Leader has been waiting for a long time!"

In the guest reception hall, Brother Cheng was all smiles.

Seeing a large group of guests coming this way, he felt elated.

The grand opening ceremony was his big day to establish a reputation; boasting naturally required more people to sponsor it.

Though over two thousand might seem much fewer than he initially expected, he was still quite satisfied.

But once he saw their realms clearly, he felt less delighted.

What situation is this?

A dignified Sacred Land’s opening, no, an Immortal Sect’s grand opening, you’d expect some Saint Tier Ascending to Saint guests, at least a group from Daoist Palace?

Yet the highest attendee was only in Spirit Platform realm?

Among the remaining, there were Energy-Introducing Third Layer attendees, are you kidding me?

With a smile maintained outwardly, he discreetly tugged at the two girls standing by his side.

"What’s the situation?"

Ji Linghan looked innocent, "It was you, Sect Leader, who said, regardless of realm or origin..."

Jiang Cheng indeed said that.

He wanted as many people as possible; he wouldn’t look down on those with low realms.

Everyone enjoys together after all.

"Indeed I welcome even mortals, but you couldn’t invite even one from Daoist Palace realm, at least several should’ve attended?"

Lacking any powerful figures, the ceremony, when spread outside, would be a laughingstock?

Saying Feixian Sect lacked prestige, no one cared to come.

Lin Ning of Daoist Palace Ninth Layer felt a bit embarrassed, the Sect Leader had barely arranged a task for her, but she couldn’t satisfy him.

"I invited a sect with Daoist Palace realm the day before yesterday, and they agreed."

"Then what? Where’s the person?"

"They... today sent just an outer disciple, that Spirit Platform First Layer one."

Brother Cheng no longer needed asking.

He understood the reason, it seemed the external pressure from other Sacred Lands was too great, it wasn’t the fault of those families or sects.

"Alright, since they’re afraid to come, today’s ceremony must make those absent regret."

"Regret till their guts turn green!"

Ji Linghan and Lin Ning exchanged puzzled looks, not knowing what he intended.

The guests soon settled down.

Four per table, two thousand made a full five hundred tables, yet this reception hall still felt spacious.

After all, Sect Leader Jiang’s initial guest expectation was at least ten thousand people.

"Today marks the reestablishment of my Feixian Sect. As Sect Leader, I, Jiang Cheng, welcome everyone’s support!"

Everyone felt honored; this was the Sect Leader of Sacred Land, at least Ascended to Saint?

Some who’ve lived for tens of thousands of years might not qualify to meet such a person, let alone they.

They hurriedly stood, clasped their fists.

"Congratulations Sect Leader Jiang!"
