Upon hearing the sounds within the carriage, the previously arrogant Dragon Beasts stiffened, their expressions turning obedient and docile.
The cultivators below, blessed with keen eyesight, found it utterly absurd. These monsters, practically disaster beasts, somehow appeared well-behaved?
But upon considering the identity of the voice from within the carriage, they understood.
The carriages, pulled by Dragon Beasts, showed no signs of opening or descending. They simply hovered silently above the numerous pavilions, a testament to the transcendence of the Ten Great Sects.
Everyone had thought the arrival of the Vast Sea Sect marked the climax, but what followed plunged them all into a dreamlike state!
Boom! Boom!! Boom!!!
The sky, which had just healed, shattered repeatedly. Buildings, pavilions, and divine palaces, all shimmering with exotic colors, flew out from the fractured space.
"Abyssal Water Transforms into Sea, True Water Stands Alone! Water Immortal Sect!"
"Myriad Ways Evolve, the Great Dao Returns to Truth! Dao Profound Sect!"
"Nation of Ten Thousand Kingdoms, Supreme Immortal Dynasty! Great Zhen Immortal Dynasty!"
The Water Immortal Sect and the Dao Profound Sect, also among the Ten Great Sects, were certainly impressive. However, the Great Zhen's appearance sent the atmosphere into an unprecedented frenzy.
This was the foremost power of the Primitive Continent, a supreme force that even seemed to possess a slight edge over those within the Ten Great Sects!
But this was not the end!!
The fractured space above the heavens had no time to recover before figures of battle chariots, wicked temples, and pavilions, radiating flamboyant demonic energy, shot out once more!
This time, the shouts of the crowd carried a hint of fear:
"Conquer the Heavens, Destroy the Earth, Only I Am Supreme! War Demon Dao!!!"
"All in the mortal realm suffer, the Other Shore Becomes Buddha! Demonic Buddha Sect!!"
"Entangled by Six Desires, All Wonders Are Free! Desire Immortal Sect!!"
These three were also part of the Ten Great Sects. However, unlike the others who aligned with the Immortal Dao, these were genuine demonic sects!
Especially the War Demon Dao, renowned as the sect with the greatest combat power among the Ten Great Sects.
Only the War Demon Dao possessed the subtle ability to contend with the Great Zhen Immortal Dynasty!
The various powers on the platform had grown numb. While they knew many would attend, they hadn't expected six of the Ten Great Sects to arrive, along with the Great Zhen Immortal Dynasty, a force even stronger than the Ten Great Sects.
However, they soon began to discuss excitedly.
After all, those invited later knew the purpose of these supreme powers' arrival!
The "Immortal Luo Physique"! When the Spring Fragrance Pavilion, affiliated with the Four Seasons Society, sent out invitations, it was clearly stated that this peerless cauldrons, once drained, had the potential to forge an Immortal Ascension!
How crucial was Immortal Ascension? One only needed to look at the powers present!
The aloof Ten Great Sects and the Great Zhen Immortal Dynasty had dispatched their Immortal Ascension-level forces!
The palaces of the seven supreme powers floated silently above the platform's pavilions. The representatives of these great forces showed no inclination to converse with each other.
This, however, brought a sigh of relief to those below. After all, if these clearly Immortal Ascension-level experts were to clash here, everyone would have to flee for their lives.
Luo Xuan also felt a sense of relief: "Fortunately, the Four Seasons Society can manage this. The other sects are giving face. Otherwise, this would have likely turned into a free-for-all!"
...
While the cultivators on the platform were filled with trepidation, within the platform, the people of the Spring Fragrance Pavilion, preparing for the auction, were completely overwhelmed.
As those belonging solely to the Spring Fragrance Pavilion, they knew they were a subordinate organization of the Four Seasons Society, and even the spatial transformations of the Spring Fragrance Pavilion were manipulated by them.
But none of the seven powers above were weaker than the Four Seasons Society. Even if only an envoy had arrived, it would be impolite to neglect them!
"Quick! Quick! Where's the Pavilion Master! Hurry and find the Pavilion Master to take charge!"
"Hurry, re-examine the auction items! We must not neglect these great figures!!"
"What? Auction item number seventy-three has awakened and is resisting? You have the time it takes for an incense stick to burn! Either force him into submission, or we'll all be frozen to death by the Pavilion Master!!!"
Amidst the chaotic interior of the platform, the direct subordinates of Spring Pavilion were on the verge of madness. But just as everyone was in a panic,
Gong Xiaoyan's voice suddenly rang out, suppressing all the chaos:
"What are you panicking about! I'm here! If the sky falls, I'll bear it! Aren't they just the Ten Great Sects and the Immortal Dynasty! We are also people of the Four Seasons Society!"
"All of you, gather your courage! Don't disgrace the majesty of our Four Seasons Society!!"
Upon hearing the Pavilion Master's scolding, the people of the Spring Fragrance Pavilion seemed to have found their backbone, and everything quickly became orderly.
Gong Xiaoyan nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this and then strode towards the outside of the platform.
After all, she, a true disciple of the Four Seasons Society, had to go and stabilize the situation outside!
But as she took a step, a familiar female voice sounded in Gong Xiaoyan's ear:
"Heh, you only remember the Four Seasons Society now? A cauldron that can aid Immortal Ascension, and you're just selling it off like that! Once the Sects and the Immortal Dynasty arrive, our Four Seasons Society might not be able to keep this person!"
Gong Xiaoyan, rather than being surprised, was delighted and instinctively called out, "Mother!"
However, her voice was immediately met with a scolding: "Don't! My Miss Gong! I can't afford that address! When you ran away from your arranged marriage and came here to take up a post, how much pressure did I cover for you! And you, after just sixty years, have given me another big surprise!"
But amidst the scolding, Mei Yingxue noticed her unfortunate daughter, after calling out to her mother, had red eyes and had started to cry.
Mei Yingxue's anger flared instantly: "What?! Who bullied you?! Don't be afraid, Mother will stand up for you!!!"
Feeling her mother's usual protective nature, Gong Xiaoyan could no longer suppress the grievances in her heart. In a secluded corner, the Pavilion Master Gong began to weep:
"Mother! I was bullied by a man! He, he doesn't want me!!!"
Mei Yingxue's heart sank. Good heavens, had her unfortunate daughter been rejected by someone?
But after sensing, Mei Yingxue, who was at the fifth level of Immortal Ascension, shook her head. No, she was still a virgin.
Following that, Gong Xiaoyan's intermittent sobs caused Mei Yingxue's eyes to widen, and her emotions became completely jumbled:
"Huh? You're saying you took one look and fell in love with a boy under twenty?"
"And that boy is selling himself! And wants you to publicize it as widely as possible?!"
"Is he stupid?!"
Gong Xiaoyan's crying paused as she retorted, "Mother! Don't talk about Luo Xian like that!!!"
Mei Yingxue was furious upon hearing this!
At this moment, she even wanted to appear directly and take her unfortunate daughter back to the Four Seasons Society to be confined for five hundred years!!!
But there was nothing she could do. After all, she was flesh and blood that had fallen from her. She couldn't bear to part with her, but she wasn't going to let that man off the hook:
"He's deep within the Spring Fragrance Pavilion, isn't he?! Hmph! I want to see what kind of young man has bewitched my daughter like this!!!"
Gong Xiaoyan, upon hearing this, forgot her tears and quickly shouted, "Mother! Don't go!"
Mei Yingxue was enraged: "Fine! You're going to sell him, and you're still protecting him?!"
"No... I'm afraid if Mother sees him... she'll want to fight me for him..."
"I!!!"
