“Is she the disciple of the Master?”
“I heard that the last time the Master took in a disciple was a hundred million years ago. The Master only accepts disciples with the demeanor of a Saint, and not just any common Saint. Once they become Saints, they are among the elite of saints.”
“What a charming lady of letters.”
The Great Confucians and disciples from the other eight Great Confucian Sects looked curiously at the female disciple presiding over the Confucian assembly.
The Master of Ziyang Academy is low-profile, but due to his identity as an Ancient Saint, he is famous in the Immortal Realm.
Naturally, the Master’s disciple attracted everyone’s attention.
“This lady possesses Great Fortune, and for some reason, her Qi Destiny does not solely originate from herself, but is also intertwined with other individuals of significant fortune.”
The Wine Trough Nose Old Man from Tianming Academy, who was holding a wine gourd in his hand, was no longer drinking in pain, his attention now on the disciple of the Master of Ziyang Academy.
He could even see the Qi Destiny above her head.
“The Master indeed has taken in a good disciple.”
“This lady has the demeanor of a Saint.”
“With so many outstanding figures at this Confucian assembly, it’s hard to predict which Confucian Sect will come out on top.”
Mo Huazhi faced everyone’s gazes with an indifferent composure.
After years of experience, Mo Huazhi has earned the demeanor of a Saint, and according to the process, she will hold the Confucian assembly.
“The Crown Prince of the Immortal Dynasty has arrived!”
“The Third Prince has arrived!”
“The Sixth Prince has arrived!”
“The Ninth Prince has arrived!”
“The Crown Princess has arrived!”
“The Fifth Princess has arrived!”
“The Seventh Princess has arrived!”
…
The disciples of Ziyang Academy continued to announce outside the meeting place, which turned the heads of all nine Great Confucian Sects.
The power of the Immortal Dynasty is not inferior to any Sect among the nine Great Confucian Sects.
Members of the Imperial family of the Immortal Dynasty, more or less, all possess the Supreme Imperial Physique Bloodline, and are considered prodigies in the Immortal Realm.
A group of Golden Armored Guards marched in a formidable procession through the mountain gate.
“Please.”
The disciples of Ziyang Academy ushered the guests from the Immortal Dynasty to their seats.
Since Ziyang Academy and the Immortal Dynasty maintained a cooperative relationship and got along well, the disciples of Ziyang Academy immediately guided the Princes and Princesses upon their arrival.
The Third Prince’s covetous eyes fell on Mo Huazhi, who was presiding over the assembly.
Winning the heart of a fine lady would mean gaining the support of Ziyang Academy in the struggle for the throne.
The current Crown Prince of the Immortal Dynasty is still the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince had a square face and an imposing appearance. Among the arriving members of the Imperial family, his Cultivation Level was second only to the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess was dressed in a magnificent long gown, her hair reaching her waist and styled with dragon and phoenix hair ornaments, exuding elegance and grandeur, her skin so delicate it seemed it could be broken with a blow.
These members of the Imperial family of the Immortal Dynasty took their seats one after another.
“With all nine Great Confucian Sects gathered, it’s truly a grand occasion. If these nine Great Confucian Sects could be united, they would become a force not to be underestimated in the Immortal Realm, one that even the Heavenly Court could not overlook.”
The Crown Prince sat straight and observed the attendees from the nine Great Confucian Sects, such as Tianming Academy, Weilong Academy, South Foot Academy, Bailu Academy, etc. All were attended by Great Confucians with powerful auras.
The unified strength of the nine Great Confucian Sects is comparable to that of a great Divine Palace.
The Crown Princess interjected, “Tianming Academy and South Foot Academy have brought Saints with them. These Saints are usually rare to see.”
The sloppy old man from Tianming Academy and the youthful-faced elder with crane hair from South Foot Academy swept their Divine Senses over.
They too were interested in the strength of the Imperial family of the Immortal Dynasty.
“The Imperial family of the Immortal Dynasty does carry the Supreme Imperial Physique Bloodline, although regrettably it’s not pure.”
The youthful-faced elder with crane hair shook his head.
The Imperial family of the Immortal Dynasty is not of the pure lineage of the Supreme Emperor Body, and thus has its limitations.
Of course, even the limits of an incomplete Supreme Emperor Body still surpass many unique physiques.
“Mount Taihua Sacred Land has arrived!”
The disciple at the gate of Ziyang Academy continued to announce.
“Are there other Sects participating in the Confucian assembly?”
“Isn’t Mount Taihua Sacred Land a Daoist Holy Land? What are they doing joining in the fun?”
All Confucian Sects, big and small, were surprised.
This is a Confucian assembly, not a Daoist one.
Why would Mount Taihua Sacred Land, a Daoist Holy Land, meddle in this?
The Princes and Princesses of the Immortal Dynasty looked at each other, bewildered.
They too couldn’t understand why the people from Mount Taihua Sacred Land would come to a Confucian assembly and what their intention was.
“Stillness conquers motion.”
Although the Crown Princess couldn’t fathom the purpose of Mount Taihua Sacred Land’s participation in the Confucian assembly, their presence must indicate some sort of pursuit. By watching silently, she would surely reveal their intent.
“It’s said that the Holy Son of Mount Taihua defeated the son of the Heavenly Emperor at the Heavenly Court assembly, being acclaimed as the number one prodigy of the Immortal Realm. Today, we will finally have the chance to see him in person.”
Everyone’s gaze fell on the direction of the Academy gate.
Having defeated the son of the Heavenly Emperor at the Heavenly Court assembly, the Holy Son of Mount Taihua became renowned throughout the Immortal Realm, known to every Sect.
With this Confucian assembly, Lu Changsheng brought people along, and it was an opportunity for them to see his true face.
Even Mo Huazhi turned towards the Academy entrance.
Her heartbeat suddenly quickened.
For some reason, she felt a familiar aura.
Under the guidance of several Ziyang Academy disciples, several hundred Elders and disciples from Mount Taihua Sacred Land entered the assembly.
The Elders and disciples from Mount Taihua Sacred Land were proud and upright.
Although Mount Taihua Sacred Land ranked among the midstream within Daoist Holy Lands, after the events of the Heavenly Court assembly and Lu Changsheng’s fame, Mount Taihua also gained renown far and wide, and its Elders and disciples felt immense pride.
To the discerning eye, it was clear that as long as Lu Changsheng continued to grow, Mount Taihua Sacred Land would become one of the leading Daoist Holy Lands.
Although Lu Changsheng alone couldn’t elevate Mount Taihua’s heritage beyond that of the Purple Void Palace, an existence with billions of years of history, Mount Taihua’s ranking would definitely rise a great deal.
