At the main peak of Mount Taihua, Lu Changsheng arrived with a group of disciples, ready to set off with Lin Xuantong, Xia Ningxue, and others.
Lu Changsheng took a group of disciples to gain some worldly experience, even bringing along Zhao Wuyan and Daoist Earth Hound.
Beside Lin Xuantong stood a beautiful woman.
This woman bore some resemblance to Lin Qinghan, but Lu Changsheng had not seen her before.
“Xuantong, is this your newly accepted disciple? She seems to have good potential.”
The woman seemed very intrigued when she saw Lu Changsheng.
Lin Xuantong gestured towards Lu Changsheng, “Longevity, come and greet your master’s wife. She has been in seclusion and rarely comes out, except now for the Yaochi Holy Mother’s birthday celebration.”
It turned out to be Lin Qinghan’s mother; no wonder the two looked somewhat alike.
Liu Yue’er was one of Yaochi Holy Mother’s Direct Disciples, known to be proficient in Formations, artifact refining, and other Great Dao, with remarkable talent.
The Yaochi Holy Mother was an excellent teacher. Each of her Direct Disciples was exceptional, which caused quite a stir.
The Changliu Immortal and Lin Xuantong had once fought fiercely over Liu Yue’er.
The Palace Master of Guanghan Palace even rivaled the Holy Maiden for a suitor.
There was also a strong figure from the Demon Realm who kidnapped a Yaochi Holy Maiden. The Yaochi Holy Mother, furious, led a group of experts into the Demon Realm to rescue her.
“Disciple greets master’s wife.”
Knowing Liu Yue’er was a powerful figure, Lu Changsheng bowed respectfully.
“I have heard Xuantong and Han’er mention you many times,” she said.
Liu Yue’er nodded in approval.
“It’s time for us to set off.”
Lin Xuantong led everyone towards the Holy Land of Yaochi.
To show full respect for the Yaochi Holy Mother, Lin Xuantong brought along Supreme Elders, Elders, disciples, and followers—altogether tens of thousands of people.
After all, it was the Yaochi Holy Mother’s 80 millionth birthday. Since Lin Xuantong had married her disciple, naturally he had to honor his elder.
Colourful treasures drew streaks of light as they descended at the gate of the Holy Land of Yaochi.
The various Prestigious Families, Holy Lands, and even powerful Sects, all sent their delegations to offer birthday congratulations.
The Holy Land of Yaochi was bustling as never before.
A great number of Yaochi Elders and disciples were arranged to receive guests from other Sects and Holy Lands.
“Ah, a protector from the Green Duckweed Sword Sect, please come inside.”
“Isn’t this someone from the Ancient Qian Family? Please, come in quickly.”
The disciples of the Holy Land of Yaochi were incessantly busy.
Some Sects and Ancient Cultivator Clans only heard of in rumours showed up for the Yaochi Holy Mother, showing just how widespread her network was.
When the Yaochi Holy Mother led the experts of the Yaochi Holy Land into the Demon Realm, other Holy Lands and Prestigious Families offered their help too; that’s how some of the Yaochi elite managed to escape from the Demon Realm.
Otherwise, relying solely on Yaochi’s foundation, they would have stood no chance against the Demon Realm.
“Welcome, from the Ancient Han Family, please.”
The Ancestor of the Han Family arrived at the gate of the Holy Land of Yaochi with Han Jie. The Yaochi disciple, upon checking their invitation, knew they were from the Ancient Han Family.
The status of the Ancient Han Family among the Ancient Families was quite average.
The Yaochi disciple treated them with considerable respect, but without any flattery.
It seemed the Han Family was eager to ingratiate themselves with the Holy Land of Yaochi.
“The Holy Land of Yaochi really has deep pockets; just at the mountain gate to receive guests, there are more than a dozen at the Immortal Emperor Realm. If we could connect with the Holy Land of Yaochi, then the future of our Han Family would be incredibly bright,” the Han Family Ancestor couldn’t help but daydream.
If Han Jie could befriend the Holy Maiden or a Holy Maiden Candidate and rise through the ranks, then the fortunes of the Han Family would truly be limitless.
After all, the Holy Maiden was set to be the future Sect Leader of Yaochi, and she wouldn’t degrade herself by personally receiving each delegation.
Han Jie didn’t see any Holy Maidens or Maiden Candidates at the mountain gate.
“The Saint Lord of Changliu Holy Land has arrived!”
“The Saint Lord of Changliu, renowned for his Frost Sword Skills! Who would have thought that the rarely seen Saint Lord of Changliu would also be stirred by the Yaochi Holy Mother’s birthday. It seems the Holy Mother really does have an extensive network,” the gathered disciples from the Cultivator Clans and those from other Sects commented, all showing great respect when they saw the Saint Lord of Changliu surrounded by disciples radiating with Immortal Qi.
The Saint Lord of Changliu, once a favored child of heaven and known as the third most outstanding genius of his generation, was only surpassed by the Saint Lord of Kunlun and the Saint Lord of Mount Taihua.
Frost Sword Skills were the renowned techniques of the Saint Lord of Changliu. With his sword, he had turned many formidable opponents into mere wandering spirits.
“We welcome the Saint Lord of Changliu.”
The Yaochi disciples hurried forward to receive him, showing much more humility than they had towards delegations like the Ancient Han Family.
The status of the Saint Lord of Changliu was indeed extraordinary.
“There is no need for such formalities. Today is the Holy Mother’s birthday, and as her junior, how could I not attend?” the Saint Lord replied diplomatically, as he showed his respect to the Yaochi Holy Mother, a venerable elder of this caliber and strength.
Any being who had cultivated for 80 million years would possess Great Divine Powers that defied the heavens.
“Please,” a Supreme Elder at the Immortal Emperor Realm from the Holy Land of Yaochi made a welcoming gesture towards the Saint Lord of Changliu, personally guiding him towards the Holy Land.
As the Saint Lord of Changliu followed this Supreme Elder into the Holy Land, the Han Family Ancestor, Han Jie, and the other members of the Han Family watched enviously as the entourage of the Saint Lord of Changliu entered Yaochi.
Because of its formidable strength, the Changliu Holy Land was accorded great honor by the Yaochi Holy Land.
The Ancient Han Family possessed no such strength.
Only the topmost Ancient Cultivator Clans could possibly contend with a Holy Land.
Such Ancient Cultivator Clans were exceedingly rare.
