Chapter 82: Chapter 76 Celestial Being List 33
However, as this thought just arose, Ning Qi chuckled to himself, realizing he unbeknownst had such a comparison in mind, perhaps due to the subtle sense of crisis evoked by the Celestial Human Realm strong person.
The arrival of the Carefree Monarch elevated the atmosphere of the True Martial Dojo to a higher level.
Especially some strong loose cultivators, whose gazes were filled with fervor; some attractive ladies also had a glimmer of affection in their eyes.
It is said that the Carefree Monarch has never accepted disciples but is fond of female beauty. However, every woman who follows the Carefree Monarch gains substantial benefits, like the current twin sisters who are beneficiaries.
The Celestial Being Grand Ceremony, to put it plainly, is a massive arena for fame and fortune, where everyone seeks what they need.
Taoist Longshan and True Martial Sect use this opportunity to display their foundation and become renowned worldwide, while others take the chance to network, gain insights, and explore any opportunity to acquire a bit of Celestial Being fortune.
At this moment.
Carefree Monarch and Taoist Longshan had just sat down, but simultaneously, they stood up again, exchanged a smile, took a step, and appeared outside the Tao Field.
Everyone’s gaze trembled, then followed.
Then they saw an old Taoist with crane-like features appear from the horizon. Dressed in a purple robe, holding a duster, with white hair and beard, he had even more Taoist charm than Taoist Longshan.
"Taoist Friend Longshan, I am late, please forgive!"
"Carefree Monarch, greetings."
The old Taoist showed no arrogance, spoke with a cheerful smile, yet Taoist Longshan and Carefree Monarch showed no neglect.
"True Man Baihe, thank you for your kindness." Carefree Monarch cupped his hands and said.
"Taoist Friend Baihe’s presence here is an acknowledgment of my True Martial Sect as a Tao Sect courtyard; I am grateful." Taoist Longshan sincerely expressed thanks.
This remark stirred everyone internally, with some already realizing something, faces full of amazement.
Luo Wentian noticed Ning Qi’s puzzled expression and whispered:
"Little Junior Brother, you might not know. Although our True Martial Sect is a Taoism sect, to rank among the top Tao sects in the world requires support from top Taoist forces. True Man Baihe is a member of the True Profound Sect, ranked fifth in the world."
"Master specially invited them; his lifelong wish is to become the best Tao sect in the world and revive the glory of True Martial."
Ning Qi immediately understood.
In the past, the True Martial Sect didn’t even have a Celestial Human Realm individual, making competing for Taoist rankings an unrealistic dream. But now things are different; with Taoist Longshan reaching the Celestial Human Realm, planning naturally begins.
However.
With the current foundation of True Martial Sect, let alone being the best Tao sect, even getting into the top ten is difficult.
It still requires gradual effort.
True Man Baihe landed beside Carefree Monarch and Taoist Longshan; none of the three sat down, but instead gazed towards the mountain, and Ning Qi also sensed before anyone else.
In the midst of everyone’s confusion.
A group approached quietly from the foot of the mountain, comprising elderly, middle-aged, and young individuals, all carrying a faint sense of superiority, the centerpiece being a luxurious litter carried by robust youth, the ’Wang’ character on their sleeves revealing their identity.
Qing State Wang Clan.
Everyone’s gaze turned strange.
After all, the previous feud between Taoist Longshan and the Wang Clan was well-known throughout the Martial Realm. Though it was said that the two families had reconciled, they were not expected to be so friendly. Many originally believed the Wang Clan would not show up when they delayed their arrival.
But now, seeing the grand display, it’s evident they made quite an effort.
Everyone looked towards the litter, already guessing the person’s identity.
And Taoist Longshan’s words confirmed their speculation:
"Ancestor Wang’s presence amidst his busy schedule to True Martial Mountain is truly awe-inspiring for Longshan."
He smiled, yet internally puzzled; logically, someone of Ancestor Wang’s advanced age would rarely venture out, especially given the recent conflict with the Wang Clan—sending a Gang Essence Realm master would have already been quite respectful, yet unexpectedly Ancestor Wang came personally.
A hoarse laugh emerged from within the litter:
"I promised to attend your Celestial Being Grand Ceremony before; a person must keep their word."
As he finished speaking, a richly dressed old man appeared before everyone, occasionally coughing, his style differing somewhat from the other three Celestial Human Realm masters, but none underestimated him.
In the previous battle, Ancestor Wang’s miraculous life reversal was also widely known in the Martial Realm; everyone knew Ancestor Wang feared Taoist Longshan’s potential rather than his current strength.
"Ancestor Wang is genuinely trustworthy." Carefree Monarch and True Man Baihe praised with a smile.
Ancestor Wang glanced at the other three Celestial Beings, a hint of joy surfacing in his eyes; both Carefree Monarch and True Man Baihe displayed formidable power.
The rest were quite excited.
At this point, three Celestial Beings had already arrived, exceeding many people’s expectations. Initially, it was believed that someone like Taoist Longshan, with no solid foundation, would attract at most one or two Celestial Beings to support the event.
The four Celestial Beings standing there emitted an unparalleled aura, stirring many individuals profoundly.
Yet some wondered why, with the auspicious timing approaching, the four had not yet taken their seats.
"Taoist Friend Longshan, could someone else be coming?" True Man Baihe curiously asked.
Taoist Longshan smiled mysteriously:
"An elder is coming."
His eyes revealed anticipation.
Curiosity arose in several hearts; someone being addressed as an elder by Taoist Longshan in such a setting must be extraordinary.
Previously, addressing Ancestor Wang as an elder during the Wang Clan dispute was merely out of courtesy; in reality, most Celestial Human Realm masters are peers, with very few truly deserving the title of elder.
Ancestor Wang’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat, slightly exhilarated.
Time passed.
The Golden Crow almost hung vertically.
Suddenly, a ’moo’ sound echoed, clear and piercing through the sky.
Many people shivered, and the expressions of the Celestial Human Realm masters took on a hint of respect, even Ning Qi’s eyes showed seriousness.
Among the previously arrived Celestial Beings, Carefree Monarch, True Man Baihe, Ancestor Wang, and his own master might have varying strengths but overall remain within one tier, with Ning Qi feeling he could handle them to some extent.
But now, facing this individual—not even visible yet—that faint sense of pressure made him extremely vigilant.
All eyes focused, and at the end of their vision, a figure riding a cyan bull slowly emerged.
The clear ’moo’ sound earlier was emitted by this cyan bull, its fur smooth as jade, eyes like brown glaze filled with innocence and wisdom, its aura strong, marking it as an Exotic Beast at first glance.
Upon the cyan bull’s back, an elder with closed eyes seemed in deep sleep; behind him was a blade, unsharpened.
The cyan bull let out another ’moo’, and the elder slowly opened his eyes, a trace of confusion flickered before noticing the bustling scene upon True Martial Mountain.
"We’ve arrived, indeed arrived. Good bull, go play."
Yawning with a smile, he leaped off the bull’s back like a simple farmer, as if disregarding everyone at the True Martial Dojo.
Yet, none of the Celestial Beings dared harbor any resentment.
For the elder riding the cyan bull was ranked thirty-third on Great Yan’s Celestial Being List.
Cyan Bull Blade Master.
