Shock!
Horror!
Disbelief!
...
Daoist Jin Mo's eyes were wide open, staring at the scene before him in disbelief.
Holy cow!
Oh, holy, holy cow!
His calves were trembling slightly.
Too strong, too monstrous!
That attack, a coordinated effort by three hundred Golden Core magnates, was earth-shattering, terrifying, and overwhelmingly powerful!
Daoist Jin Mo imagined how he, with his current cultivation of "Nascent Soul early stage," would fare against that attack...
He'd be severely injured!
Too terrifying!
Daoist Jin Mo even felt the urge to turn and flee.
These Golden Core cultivators were too ferocious; they posed a threat to his life!
Daoist Jin Mo never dreamed he would one day fear a group of Golden Core cultivators.
It was absurd; no one would believe it if he told them!
However, in the end, Daoist Jin Mo didn't actually flee. He couldn't lose face as a "Golden Core cultivator"!
Daoist Jin Mo, with Kong Xiao Xian in tow, proactively moved forward.
"This humble Taoist, Jin Mo of the Celestial Secrets Holy Land, thanks you all for helping to destroy the out-of-control mechanical puppet!"
Celestial Secrets Holy Land?
Upon hearing this, True Person Qing Feng dared not delay and quickly stepped forward to pay his respects.
"Qing Feng, the Sect Master of the Water Moon Sect, greets Senior Jin Mo!"
True Person Qing Feng was meticulous in his etiquette and very respectful.
He could feel a powerful Nascent Soul aura, like an unfathomable abyss, emanating from Daoist Jin Mo.
This was a "Nascent Soul expert"!
Furthermore, Daoist Jin Mo had announced his affiliation; he was the Grand Elder of the "Celestial Secrets Holy Land," a noble status that demanded respect.
The Golden Core magnates trailing behind True Person Qing Feng all bowed to Daoist Jin Mo.
"Chi Lian of the Blazing Fire Sect, greets Senior Jin Mo!"
"Zhong Xuanzi of the Heavy Profound Sect, greets Senior Jin Mo!"
...
Daoist Jin Mo did not put on airs of seniority. He was approachable, chuckled, and returned the greetings to everyone.
Kong Xiao Xian secretly snickered from the side.
She had never seen her Master be so "polite" to Golden Core cultivators before.
Although Daoist Jin Mo wasn't typically arrogant or haughty.
However, "Nascent Soul cultivators" had their pride. They wouldn't be overly gentle with Golden Core cultivators, as it would make them lose face!
But today, Daoist Jin Mo was surprisingly "approachable."
It was unavoidable; the joint attack by the three hundred Golden Core magnates had truly "startled" Daoist Jin Mo.
After the pleasantries, Daoist Jin Mo asked the question that was troubling him.
"You are all Sect Masters and Supreme Elders of your respective sects. Why are you all gathered here? Could it be that you are holding an Immortal Gathering?"
Cultivators would occasionally convene for gatherings to discuss their cultivation experiences, exchange rare treasures, and fulfill their respective needs.
Such "Immortal Gatherings" were aimed at fostering exchange, promoting progress, and mutual growth!
How should this be answered?
True Person Qing Feng hesitated.
If he told Daoist Jin Mo the truth, the senior might not be pleased.
The senior's personality, like that of all "masters," was a bit eccentric. He seemed to dislike interacting with strangers.
If he rashly revealed the senior's affairs, it would be a loss if the senior became displeased.
As True Person Qing Feng hesitated, a voice sounded in his mind.
"Do not reveal my existence. Bring Jin Mo to the vicinity of the cave first."
The voice was devoid of emotion.
Calm as still water.
Carrying the familiar "sage mode"!
It was the senior's voice.
True Person Qing Feng felt immense reverence.
The senior was too powerful!
This method of telepathic transmission was definitely not "flying sword transmission."
Ordinary "flying sword transmission" involved a small sword light flying from afar, and the voice would be heard in one's ear, not directly transmitted into the mind.
Even more astonishing was that the senior could know the dilemma I was struggling with internally. Truly, truly, truly... formidable!
[Beep! Congratulations to the host, your friend "True Person Qing Feng" has increased his favorability towards you by +999999, current favorability: Five Stars (Life and Death Comrade).]
Hao Ren felt a sense of wry amusement.
What was this? True Person Qing Feng's favorability had soared again, almost breaking through the heavens!
In fact, Hao Ren's methods were not that mystical.
His ability to detect True Person Qing Feng's thoughts was entirely due to the system.
Through the "Friend Dynamics" feature, whatever True Person Qing Feng thought, Hao Ren knew it clearly.
As for that special transmission method, it was another ingenious application of the "Nine Dragon Holy Emperor Qi" cultivation technique.
Hadn't True Person Qing Feng connected to the "Fortune Network" established by Hao Ren? Through this network, Hao Ren could transmit his voice into the minds of any connected individual.
Of course, the other party had to be completely open and receptive. If there was even a hint of resistance, Hao Ren would be unable to complete such a "telepathic transmission."
As for why Hao Ren wanted to provoke Daoist Jin Mo? There were two reasons.
First, Daoist Jin Mo was clearly becoming very curious about True Person Qing Feng and the others.
Curiosity was a troublesome thing.
Curiosity killed the cat!
Driven by curiosity, Daoist Jin Mo would certainly not give up. If True Person Qing Feng and the others tried to hide things, it would only further pique Daoist Jin Mo's interest.
By then, a Nascent Soul cultivator investigating openly and covertly would be unbearable for Hao Ren. Rather than that, it was better to take the initiative and lure Daoist Jin Mo over.
Second, Hao Ren was very interested in Daoist Jin Mo. No, to be precise, Hao Ren was interested in "Nascent Soul cultivators."
Hao Ren's "arch-nemesis," Green Sword Immortal, was a "Nascent Soul cultivator." Hao Ren wanted to know how strong "Nascent Soul cultivators" truly were.
When Green Sword Immortal eventually came to attack, he would at least be prepared.
Of course, with his "Dao Heart of a Cowardly Man," Hao Ren still didn't want to expose himself prematurely. He told True Person Qing Feng not to slip up and to lure Daoist Jin Mo outside the cave first.
Under Hao Ren's instruction, True Person Qing Feng instantly found his "backbone."
He said to Daoist Jin Mo,
"Senior's guess is correct, we are indeed holding an Immortal Gathering. Would Senior be willing to grace us with your presence and join us for a sit-down!"
Senior's guess is correct!
This sentence struck Daoist Jin Mo right in the "heart."
Daoist Jin Mo's eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Eight hundred years, a full eight hundred years!
Whatever I guessed, it was always wrong!
This was the first time anyone had told me, "Senior's guess is correct."
Daoist Jin Mo showed an expression of comfortable excitement. He made a request to True Person Qing Feng:
"Um, could you say that again?"
True Person Qing Feng
o（（⊙﹏⊙））o
This request was very strange, very bizarre!
However, since the other party had asked, True Person Qing Feng had no choice but to oblige him.
True Person Qing Feng repeated, "Senior's guess is correct..."
Daoist Jin Mo narrowed his eyes. His old face broke into a smile as wide as a blooming chrysanthemum. It felt so good!
He slapped his thigh and readily agreed.
"Alright, no problem, this humble Taoist agrees to attend the Immortal Gathering!"

Her bright, intelligent eyes were filled with speechlessness.
Master, you're being so embarrassing!
