Recalling their initial mistrust, Yuan Shu and Yuan Mu were red-faced with embarrassment. Now they had no choice but to accept it. The news outside had spread far and wide. The ancestor possessed a Tier Nine Immortal Sword, destroyed Danhua City, and defeated Meng Qin in an instant. Follow current novᴇls on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚫𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵 Jiyun Immortal King, Hua Yin Immortal King, Xiao Kun Demon King, and Sahili Demon King, these legendary experts were now closely associated with him! When this news first circulated, they did not believe it at all. But as time went by, not only did no one deny it, but the stories became more exaggerated, with some even claiming Elder Jiang was an Immortal Emperor. It was then they realized they might have missed something. They hurried to find Yuan Zhen and Yuan Sheng to probe for more information. But these two old men kept their mouths shut, only saying he was an ancestor of the sect, refusing to disclose his full name. Truth be told, Yuan Zhen and Yuan Sheng were equally astounded to hear that the four great experts were chatting amiably with the sect founder. They knew Jiang Cheng was the sect founder, aware of his defeat of an Immortal Emperor. They knew about his astounding feats during the Immortal Ascension Battle in Immortal City. But they did not know he had brought 120,000 ascenders from the Lower Realm back then, and in Dingtian City, he was the only one whose name was known. They also did not know about the past of the Void Immortal Realm and the Fake Immortal Realm. This was only natural. The ascenders of that time, whether Mo Chen from Void Abyss or Gui Cang Golden Dragon King, were all thoughtful individuals. After learning that Upper Immortal Realm's Immortal Emperors considered them a target, how could they expose their origins? They, of course, concealed their identities and quietly developed. So, after a billion years, these secrets remain hidden, and the Feixian Sect's classics do not record them. In Yuan Zhen and Yuan Sheng's view, Elder Jiang's prestige might be high but likely limited to within the Feixian Sect itself? The second and third generation ancestors showing utmost respect if they were to meet him would be normal. Xiao Kun Demon King, Jiyun Immortal King, these individuals should have nothing to do with him! None of them belonged to the Feixian Sect, how could they even have a connection with him? They truly couldn't figure it out. "Ancestor, do those seniors from the Ghost Alliance and Ancient Emperor Sect truly show you such respect as the rumors claim?" As soon as this question was raised, all the other elders perked up their ears. No matter how true the rumors were, without seeing it with their own eyes, they couldn't believe it, it was too incredible. That was the Ghost Alliance after all! Qianlan Celestial Realm was merely one of the thirty celestial domains they secretly controlled. And the Feixian Sect's strength in the Qianlan Celestial Realm didn't even rank in the top fifty. When compared, the gap was too vast. As for the Ancient Emperor Sect, that too was a leader of a domain, an existence they once looked up to. However you looked at it, this was too unreal. Looking at the eager faces of the crowd, Brother Cheng felt a certain satisfaction for showing off. He simply nodded: "That's right." Upon receiving his personal confirmation, all the elders exclaimed in shock. "How on earth did this happen?" "Could it be the ancestor had dealings with them before?" "Gaining the goodwill of those top experts is immensely significant..." After a brief moment of amazement, Elders Yuan Shu, Yuan Mu, and others entered a state of ecstatic joy. Everyone was beaming as if celebrating a festival. "This is the honor of our Feixian Sect!" "The ancestor indeed has an extensive network, with such formidable old friends outside!" "Haha, our Feixian Sect is blessed..." Yuan Zhen and Yuan Sheng remarked, at the time we said the ancestor had an extensive network, it was just an excuse. Who knew we inadvertently spoke the truth. Watching the other elders' revelry, the three elders Yuan Zhe, Yuan He, and Yuan Wu, who had been shocked multiple times, felt superior. "You people really are quite humble." "What old friends, those four Demon Kings and Immortal Kings are deferential to the ancestor, aren't they?" "Receiving their goodwill? Is that necessary?" "Clearly, they are eagerly currying favor, there's a hierarchical distinction, they are merely subordinates of the ancestor!" Having traveled with Brother Cheng, they had seen the world and straightened their backs. Yuan Zhen, Yuan Shu, and others were even more shocked. "The ancestor's subordinates?" "Quickly, tell us in detail!" "Yes, exactly, what happened back then?" With Brother Cheng's permission, the three elders quickly recounted the course of this trip amidst the crowd's encirclement. Shouts of astonishment erupted from the crowd from time to time. Their admiration for the ancestor soared to new heights. Brother Cheng glanced at the system panel and was awarded some Shock Value. When converted into Merit, it was about over a thousand. The main reason was most of the information had already spread, now it was just a personal confirmation. After he went in to rest, the elders couldn't wait to start a meeting in the chamber. "Ladies and gentlemen, what more is there to say?" Sect Leader Yuan Zhen Immortal Venerable felt euphoric. Some time ago, because he fully supported Elder Jiang's decision, he was almost branded as willful and reckless. Third Elder Yuan Mu cleared his throat and managed to squeeze out four words: "The Sect Leader is wise!" The Second Elder wasn't as reserved. "It truly is a spectacle that the ancestor can command those four to his use!" He exclaimed loudly: "I'm convinced, previously I was blind to fail to believe in him!" And the other elders couldn't help but press once more: "Sect Leader, Great Elder, who exactly is Elder Jiang?" "For the past few days, I've searched through the classics but cannot find any predecessor from our sect who matches him..." "To have four Immortal King level experts as subordinates, during his time roaming the Middle Immortal Realm, he surely must have been famous across the world!" "Indeed, those four have been famous for at least seventy or eighty million years. From their era, Elder Jiang should be even earlier." "It seems his seniority is truly high!" This question, even those who traveled with Brother Cheng for a few days, such as Yuan Zhe and Yuan Wu, couldn't fathom. Yuan He paid respects towards the Ancestral Hall direction, then furrowed his brow and pondered: "I remember those four addressed the ancestor as Sect Leader Jiang..." Yuan Zhe and Yuan Wu also recalled: "Yes, that's indeed how they called him!" "Could it be the ancestor was a sect leader of a certain generation?" "But in our Feixian Sect's history, there was never a Jiang as sect leader!" "Does this mean the ancestor founded another sect outside? And those four great experts belonged to that sect?" "I've never heard of those four ever belonging to the same sect." Seeing their speculations growing increasingly wild, Yuan Zhen and Yuan Sheng thought the title Sect Leader Jiang was indeed fitting. "Enough, you will naturally know the ancestor's identity in due time." "Right now, the more pressing matter is the purchase of the Immortal Fate Order!" He swept a gaze over the gathered elders, dissatisfied: "Last time when I asked you all to contribute Immortal Crystals, you all made excuses and didn't trust that the ancestor could keep us safe!" Upon hearing this, Yuan He was the first to respond. "I am willing to contribute 2 million Immortal Crystals!" After laying out a storage ring, he added: "Besides, there are some Immortal Artifacts and Treasures to be sold!" "To ensure my lineage of disciples and grandchildren can reach the Upper Immortal Realm together, I'm going all out this time!"
