Even Miao Yu had this reaction, so it was even worse for the others. An Immortal King in the Middle Immortal Realm is like the heavens. For the heavens to kneel to someone, it's simply absurd. A dignified Immortal King wouldn't even kneel before an Immortal Emperor. But now here he is, submitting before Jiang Cheng, whose Realm is plain to most present—just a First Grade Golden Immortal. Even kneeling on one knee seems impossible! No one could comprehend it. From Jiyun Immortal King's words, many heard that he seemed to have known Jiang Cheng for a long time, akin to old friends reuniting? Thıs content belongs to 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩 But even so, the ceremony is way too grand, right? Their shock was not yet over. Then, from among the 31 Ninth-grade Immortal Venerables of the Ancient Emperor Sect, three Ninth-grade Immortal Venerables flew out again. Many recognized them; these three were Supreme Elders from many generations ago in the Ancient Emperor Sect. In recent years, they have rarely ventured out. But millions of years ago, when they roamed the Middle Immortal Realm, their talents and accomplishments were no less than Meng Qin's, just without the support of a Tier Seven Immortal Artifact. In the Ancient Emperor Sect, these three held a remarkable status, only beneath Jiyun Immortal King. And at this moment, the three Supreme Elders fell down swiftly, practically crawling to kneel before Jiang Cheng. "Greetings to Sect Leader Jiang!" "For years, we've longed day and night, hoping you'd return to lead us again..." "Finally seeing you again... Sob sob sob!" One of the Supreme Elders even held Brother Cheng's thigh, crying uncontrollably in public. Everyone felt questioned about reality once more. They originally thought Jiyun Immortal King might have just gone mad with excessive power from the recent battle. Watching the performance of these three, it seemed they had a history! Leng Huahan, Yuan Zhe, and others nearly had their jaws drop in shock. How was this even possible? They had just thought they'd be wiped out by Jiyun Immortal King's wave of the hand, yet now this Immortal King... They thought back to the day Elder Jiang made his appearance, seeing Sect Leader Yuan Zhen and Great Elder Yuan Sheng's excited reactions, seemingly identical to the scene now with these four! Could it be... that Elder Jiang truly has an extraordinary origin? Especially Leng Huahan, recalling his master's hint that day—Elder Jiang's standing is no lower than the first two rows of the Ancestral Hall. The Sect Leader of the Ancient Emperor Sect, with those remaining, also flew down. "Ancestor, what are you doing..." In the entire venue, they were the ones most questioning their reality. Jiyun Immortal King, this ancestor alone was best left unmentioned, as the Sect Leader hadn't seen him in over a million years except for the news of a Tier Eight Immortal Artifact, sometimes even suspecting he might already be gone. The other three Supreme Elders were each characters the Sect Leader must thoroughly respect. Even though all were Ninth-grade Immortal Venerables, the background, talent, and combat power were worlds apart. Besides, these three had followed the Immortal King since the beginning of the sect, with their seniority well-established. He could not fathom these four kneeling; it truly shook his beliefs... Weren't we agreed on coming to seize the Immortal Artifact? What is this show we're playing here? We are now at a loss, our minds in chaos. With all of you kneeling, should we kneel too? But the question is, why kneel before a Golden Immortal? Just at this moment, Brother Cheng suddenly said, "Who are you guys?" In truth, he thought that these four might be Ascenders from the Lower Realm Ten Thousand Realms from back then. Over millions of years, having these few become Immortal Kings was quite normal. But back then, there were 120,000 Ascenders, and he truly couldn't know them all. Well, Brother Cheng, being so laid-back and careless, could only remember those few hundred that frequented the spotlight. For instance, Gui Cang, Void Abyss, Golden Dragon King, Bi Chang, Ling Xing, Taichang, the leaders of the Great Domains. Others were merely background characters for him. Jiyun Immortal King, he had no impression of him at all. This straightforward question was a little hurtful. Even Miao Yu and Ye Yang Immortal King felt intense indignation on behalf of the four. These distinguished Immortal Kings had knelt before you, yet you claim not to know them? The rest of the crowd appeared more dumbfounded. Are you tired of living? Denying recognition to Immortal Kings who willingly present themselves? Yuan Zhe, Yuan Wu, and Yuan He almost wet themselves again in fright; Leng Huahan genuinely wanted to cover this ancestor's mouth. This is an Immortal King! Whether you know them or not, even if they recognized the wrong person, you should take the opportunity to acknowledge it! How dare a dignified Immortal King be insulted lightly? This simple retort alone could provoke fatal rage! Yet the anticipated scene did not happen. As Jiyun Immortal King initially looked disappointed but then smiled broadly. "It's normal if you don't remember me. I was once the Jiyun Daoist Saint of the Evergreen Domain, and my senior brother, Qingyun Daoist Saint, spoke with you!" In his eyes, speaking with Brother Cheng back then was something immensely brag-worthy. The Lower Realm had as many as Ten Thousand Domains! Back then, in times of great events, only the strongest few hundred would make it into meetings inside; others could only stand outside. The overall strength of the Evergreen Domain couldn't break into the top thousand of the Ten Thousand Domains back then. However, his senior brother, Qingyun Daoist Saint, had exceptional encounters, being the top expert of the Evergreen Domain, his power unusually strong. His combat prowess was not inferior to the top Sword Saints of the Sword Domain, so he had the fortune to attend council and once received a response from Sect Leader Jiang during a speech. Such encounters became their most cherished memories afterward. "These three were youngsters who ascended with us back then." "They also saw you at the time and received your orders." Those three Supreme Elders kept bowing repeatedly, their faces wearing blissful grins. Back then, they had no qualifications for direct conversation with Sect Leader Jiang in close quarters. Now they felt incomparably honored, terribly excited. Brother Cheng then slapped his head: "Oh, you mean Qingyun Daoist Saint, now I remember him!" "Haha, so it's you guys!" Jiyun Daoist Saint was moved to tears, feeling immensely grateful he remembered. "Yes, yes, yes, it's us." "By the way, where's your senior brother?" Jiyun Immortal King elaborated: "Back then we wandered everywhere, later co-founded the Ancient Emperor Sect, extensively recruiting disciples." "Seventy million years ago, Senior Brothers Qingyun and Liuyun advanced to Immortal Kings and then successively went to the Upper Immortal Realm." "I chose to stay behind, wishing to continue attending to the younger generation." He reflected: "Thankfully, I stayed, so I was the first to see you. Perhaps, it's fate!" Brother Cheng laughed heartily: "I thought you were here to seize the Immortal Sword." Jiyun Immortal King's face changed, immediately declaring: "How dare we seize your Treasure? Honestly, I'm here leading people to aid you, Sect Leader Jiang!" "The Ghost Alliance, those scoundrels, dared to provoke you; I've long been unable to tolerate it!" "Taking the liberty to annihilate them, I hope Sect Leader Jiang won't take offense!" He said these words decisively, with the other three Supreme Elders echoing in agreement. Yes, yes, that's exactly what we thought. Listening to this, the Sect Leader and the other Elders from the Ancient Emperor Sect secretly grumbled, knowing full well that initially, they intended to seize the Immortal Sword.
