Chapter 849: Chapter 415: Master Acceptance Ceremony_2
The World Master of Floating Dust gave a slight nod to the Heng Chong Dominator before flashing into position and settling down into a seat, coincidentally next to the previously arrived World Master of Blue Martial.
After a while, two more World Masters arrived one after the other; both were female and knew each other, naturally engaging in a warm round of pleasantries.
The Heavenly Pride disciples below gaped in awe at the sight; these World Masters seemed as if they were discussing family affairs, their faces lit with laughter and ease, nearly indistinguishable from ordinary cultivators, showing none of the cold aloofness or prideful demeanour one would expect from such formidable beings.
“So it seems, World Masters are merely ordinary people with considerably greater strength,” Xia Huowang thought to himself.
Afterward, World Masters continued to arrive one after another, until the red Grand Master chairs on both sides were all filled.
With that, all thirty-six red Grand Master chairs were occupied, each by the esteemed presence of a World Master.
Among the thirty-six World Masters in attendance, besides those from Tai Yuan Vein, there were powerful masters from other veins such as Tongtian and Qingxuan, each vein represented by at least four masters.
Most of these World Masters were male.
Female World Masters were fewer in number, only seven, among whom one had white hair and a venerable old age, three others were beautifully dressed ladies, and the remaining three appeared quite young, hardly different from women in their twenties.
Of course, at the level of World Master, one could not discern age from physical appearance.
It could be said that as long as one’s lifespan had not reached its limit, any World Master could easily control their own state of being.
Those World Masters present were not individuals nearing the limits of their lifespan. Thus, the differing states were entirely a matter of personal mindset.
Those who had experienced the vicissitudes of life did not deliberately control their appearance but chose to let nature take its course and walk the world in their truest form.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, the Elder in charge of reception looked up into the void, stunned for a moment, and said, “We honor the arrival of the Qingxuan Vein Master and the Changfeng Vein Master!”
At this, the World Masters seated on the Grand Master chairs all stood up, offering their salutations, “We pay our respects to the Qingxuan Vein Master and the Changfeng Vein Master!”
Almost simultaneously, the heavens above split open, and golden light showered down as two figures emerged, surveying those below with slightly raised eyebrows.
The Qingxuan Vein Master smiled and said, “Senior Brother Changfeng, it seems we have arrived a step early.”
“Never mind them, let’s take our seats first!” The Changfeng Vein Master replied nonchalantly, cheerfully greeting everyone before sitting down on the leftmost purple-gold chair.
The Qingxuan Vein Master took a seat on the far right.
After the exchange of greetings, everyone returned to their seats. While the World Masters still interacted with each other, they no longer engaged in the relaxed chitchat they had before, clearly due to the presence of these two Vein Masters.
The ordinary disciples and Elders felt somewhat anxious in the presence of the World Masters; similarly, these World Masters also felt uncomfortable in front of the Immortal Experts and could not converse as freely as before.
The disciples below hadn’t realized this, as their eyes were now fixated on the Qingxuan Vein Master and the Changfeng Vein Master.
Immortal Realm experts, to them, were always the stuff of legends—such close encounters were extremely rare, and thus, they were immensely curious.
Not long after the two Vein Masters had sat down, the Elder continued to announce loudly, “We welcome the Zheng Yang Vein Master!”
As the elder’s words fell, the chattering World Masters on the field fell silent, all turning to look into the void, eager to see where the Zheng Yang Vein Master would appear.
Otherwise, how could they receive him?
However, after a while, with no sign of movement, they each looked questioningly at the Heng Chong Dominator outside the main hall, who shook his head slightly indicating he was also unaware.
What they did not know was that on one of those few purple-gold chairs, an inconspicuous, unremarkable, short, and rotund old man had already taken his seat, his true face unclear.
The Qingxuan Vein Master said, “Senior Brother Zheng Yang, you still love to tease the juniors as always.”
“Hahaha, are you joking, Junior Brother Qingxuan?” laughed the Zheng Yang Vein Master, then waved his hand at the World Masters on either side and to the watching crowd below, “You all just carry on as normal, no need for such trouble.”
Even so, everyone still simultaneously bowed respectfully to the Zheng Yang Vein Master, seated on his purple-gold chair, “We pay our respects to the Zheng Yang Vein Master.”
“Alright, alright, such a fuss!” replied the Zheng Yang Vein Master, his face showing impatience as he had always loathed such tedious formalities.
These World Masters clearly knew the temper of the immortal, but the proper respects had to be paid; this was not only in deference to their elder but also a mark of homage to the powerful.
At this moment, only two purple-golden chairs remained on the scene, naturally leading to endless speculation among the crowd.
Which one of them would be the Immortal, and what kind of demeanor did Yuan Guang Immortal, as the host, possess? All these were tugging at their curious minds.
As for Xia Huowang and Zhang Xuan, who had almost ascended to the Unity Realm at the same time as Lu Yun, they were curiously surveying their surroundings.
From beginning to end, they had not found the figure they wished to see.
They were eager to know whether this Heavenly Pride, who broke limits, reached the true pinnacle in the Heavenly Human Realm, and passed the Forbidden Tower, truly possessed strength comparable to the Heavenly Prides of his generation, as the rumors suggested.
Just then, the Elder in charge of receiving guests suddenly called out, “We welcome the Immortal Xuan Ling of the Tongtian pulse!”
The cultivators in the square suddenly fell silent, all wanting to see what kind of person this last-to-arrive Immortal Xuan Ling was.
When the World Masters heard that Immortal Xuan Ling had arrived, they all stood up to welcome her, even the three pulse masters who had been seated and unmoved, also straightened up and slowly rose to their feet.
A red silk ribbon came flying across the sky, one end landing at the entrance of the Tai Yuan Hall, while the other stretched long, connecting to the horizon, invisible from where they stood. Just as everyone was puzzled, they saw a woman in palace attire standing atop the bridge formed by the red silk, far in the distance.
When the crowd looked back, this dignified and luxurious woman had already landed in front of the Tai Yuan Hall, followed by a young girl.
“Immortal Xuan Ling is actually a woman?” Xia Huowang said, somewhat shocked.
Beside him, Brother Chen said, “Immortal Xuan Ling is the only female Immortal in our Green Flame Palace, and she is also the wife of the palace master.”
“The palace master’s wife?”
“Yes, exactly. The palace master is from the Tongtian pulse and is siblings with Immortal Xuan Ling. The two were Dao companions before they ascended to immortality.”@@novelbin@@
This was the first time Xia Huowang had heard such a secret, and he looked again at Immortal Xuan Ling. Suddenly, his gaze was drawn by the young girl.
“Senior Brother, do you know that Junior Sister?”
“That is Junior Sister Liu Qiuying. You should have heard of her reputation before.”
Xia Huowang was stunned for a moment. He naturally knew of Liu Qiuying; she was the foremost person among the young generation of the Tongtian pulse, at the twelfth level of the Heavenly Human Realm.
Before Lu Yun came into the picture, she was the only one in the younger generation of Green Flame Palace at the twelfth level of the Heavenly Human Realm.
From the current situation, it seemed that she had also ascended to the Unity Realm.
Immortal Xuan Ling looked at the empty purple-golden chair in the middle, her brows slightly furrowed, “All of us here to witness the ceremony have arrived, yet Yuan Guang Junior Brother, the host, has yet to make an appearance.”
Heng Chong Dominator felt somewhat embarrassed and said with an apologetic smile, “Please forgive us, Immortal Xuan Ling. Yuan Guang Immortal must have encountered some urgent matter, but he will arrive soon.”
Immortal Xuan Ling nodded without making things difficult for Heng Chong Dominator and turned to the young girl behind her, “Ying Er, go mingle with your Senior Brothers and Sisters. Once Lu Yun arrives, I will grant your wish.”
“Alright.” Liu Qiuying nodded lightly and, with a graceful leap, joined the younger generation who were observing the ceremony below.
Immortal Xuan Ling smiled and nodded, her indulgent gaze returning to the crowd before she turned and took her seat on one of the purple-golden chairs.
The World Masters waited for the Immortals to be seated before taking their own seats.
However, they picked up on an unusual implication from Immortal Xuan Ling’s previous words.
Thick-browed and big-eyed, the Lan Wu World Master chuckled, “Interesting. It seems this Master Acceptance Ceremony won’t be as boring as I anticipated.”
The Floating Dust World Master beside him shook his head slightly. As one of the top World Masters in the Tongtian pulse, he knew some secrets.
This young girl accompanying Immortal Xuan Ling was not only the first person among the young generation of the Tongtian pulse but also the beloved daughter of the palace master and Immortal Xuan Ling.
As for why she didn’t share the palace master’s surname?
It’s simple. Immortal Xuan Ling’s surname was Liu, and her first name was Xuan Ling.
What do you think?
