To be honest, although the Heaven's Fate Sect (Tian Fan Zong) has always existed, no one has ever taken it seriously. Whether this sect existed or not was the same in the eyes of others.

It was precisely because of this that the matter of the Heaven's Fate Sect reopening its doors occurred. In just one month, the news of the Heaven's Fate Sect's reopening spread to almost half of the God Domain.

The reason why the news spread so quickly was not because the Heaven's Fate Sect was powerful, but because a God King had emerged from the Heaven's Fate Sect. The opening ceremony of the Heaven's Fate Sect and the God King's inauguration ceremony would be held on the same day.

Numerous sects and some rogue cultivators, upon hearing the news, rushed to the Heaven's Fate Sect. Most of the sects came to congratulate the Heaven's Fate Sect on its reopening, while the rogue cultivators came to join the Heaven's Fate Sect.

The emergence of a God King in the Heaven's Fate Sect meant that the Heaven's Fate Sect would become one of the major sects in the God Domain in the future. Even if it couldn't become a top-tier sect, it would still be an upper-class sect.

The Heaven's Fate Sect currently had very few members, so joining the Heaven's Fate Sect at this time would mean a higher status.

…

Because Mo Wuji had become the Hall Master of the External Affairs Hall, the task of welcoming guests fell entirely on him. Even Mo Wuji hadn't expected so many people to come to the Heaven's Fate Sect specifically for the ceremony.

Group after group of people entered the Heaven's Fate Square, and all their name cards and gifts were handled separately by Mo Wuji.

All the guests, regardless of their cultivation level, were arranged to walk across the golden carpet and then enter the square within the protective array. The leaders of sects or those with World God cultivation level or higher, regardless of their sect or identity, were personally guided to the guest hall by Mo Wuji's men.

The Heaven's Fate Sect had few available people to begin with, less than a hundred in total, but Mo Wuji managed to prevent the sect's welcoming ceremony from descending into chaos.

Even when a person of high status arrived at the Heaven's Fate Sect and walked on the golden carpet, there were people loudly announcing their names and the amount of their gifts.

Some cultivators who initially looked down on the Heaven's Fate Square's ordinary protective array secretly admired the Heaven's Fate Sect's thorough and well-organized welcoming ceremony.

Although it was just an ordinary golden carpet, the feeling was immediately different when Mo Wuji arranged for them to walk across it and have their names announced after giving gifts.

The Heaven's Fate Sect had few people, but many people came to observe the ceremony. Now that the Heaven's Fate Sect's protective array was open, the people outside could be clearly seen even from the square inside the Heaven's Fate Sect.

Being watched by so many people, those who gave more gifts felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. Hearing their names and gifts being announced as exceeding others was extremely pleasant.

Many powerful individuals, even the leaders of sects, intentionally added items to their gift lists. Some cultivators who hadn't planned to give gifts felt very awkward and had no choice but to offer gifts. If they didn't give gifts, it would be embarrassing to have no gifts following their name announcement.

It was embarrassing to be called out with nothing to offer when others were walking the golden carpet with gifts.

Initially, smaller sects and ordinary rogue cultivators arrived. Later, great figures gradually began to arrive.

"A warm welcome to Sect Leader Zhuang Yingnan of the Sword Rule Sect (Jian Ze Men) upon their arrival at the Heaven's Fate Sect. Sect Leader Zhuang Yingnan of the Sword Rule Sect offers a mid-grade God Spirit Vein as a congratulatory gift…"

"A warm welcome to Sect Leader Li Ru of the Pill River Sect (Dan He Men) upon their arrival at the Heaven's Fate Sect. Sect Leader Li Ru of the Pill River Sect offers a low-grade God Spirit Vein and a piece of Severed Web Divine Silk…"

"A warm welcome to Elder Zhen Qi of the Divine Harmony Valley (Shen He Gu) upon their arrival at the Heaven's Fate Sect. Elder Zhen Qi of the Divine Harmony Valley offers two top-grade Divine Peaks…"

…

The Sword Rule Sect and the Pill River Sect were not large sects and did not have any God Kings. However, the Divine Harmony Valley was different. It was one of the top sects in the God Domain. Moreover, the Valley Master of the Divine Harmony Valley, Wen Mingyang, was one of the top ten God Kings in the God Domain, ranking sixth.

The arrival of Elder Zhen Qi of the Divine Harmony Valley immediately sparked a lot of discussion in the square.

"Even Elder Zhen Qi of the Divine Harmony Valley has come. Elder Zhen Qi is at the ninth level of the World God Realm. This God King inauguration ceremony of the Heaven's Fate Sect is truly a gathering of experts," someone in the crowd exclaimed.

"Heh heh, besides the Divine Harmony Valley, have you seen any other top sects? Even the Divine Harmony Valley has only sent an elder," someone immediately retorted.

The people around them fell silent in an instant. It was indeed true that only one elder from the Divine Harmony Valley had come from a truly great sect. Many other sects had come, but the best of them was only the Sword Rule Sect. It was said that the Sect Master of the Sword Rule Sect, Zhuang Yingnan, was only at the sixth level of the World God Realm.

No one had noticed it until someone pointed it out. Now that someone had reminded them, many people realized that although many people had come, only the Divine Harmony Valley was a truly top sect. As the cultivator had said earlier, even the Divine Harmony Valley had only sent a World God Elder. That is to say, so far, no God King had come.

In fact, Mo Wuji, who was standing in the square to welcome guests, had already noticed that almost all the guests had arrived, and many gifts had been given, but no God King-level figures had come, which made him feel a little unhappy.

Regardless of the Heaven's Fate Sect's past, it now had a God King, but no God King was giving them face. These God Kings in the God Domain were truly blind.

Wasn't an early-stage God King still a God King? Mo Wuji had been in the God Domain for a while and knew how remarkable God Kings were in the God Domain. It was said that there were only about a hundred God Kings in the entire God Domain.

And how many people were there in the entire God Domain? It was said to be tens of trillions. With tens of trillions, even hundreds of trillions of people, there were only about a hundred God Kings. Was that a lot? That was incredibly few.

Just as the guests were about to completely enter and the sect's protective array was about to close, the disciple announcing the gifts suddenly shouted loudly, "A warm welcome to God King Wei Zheng (Wei Zheng Shen Wang) upon their arrival at the Heaven's Fate Sect. God King Wei Zheng offers a top-grade God Spirit Vein, a high-grade God Spirit Vein, and ten top-grade Divine Peaks…"

Before the disciple could finish the announcement, Pang Jie had already rushed out of the sect, his face full of smiles, and said, "This little brother is preparing to rebuild the Heaven's Fate Sect, and I've actually disturbed Brother Wei Zheng. I am truly terrified and humbled!"

"Haha," God King Wei Zheng laughed and cupped his fists, saying, "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Pang for joining us. I received the news relatively late. It seems I'm not too late, truly fortunate, fortunate."

"Brother Wei Zheng, please come in quickly…" Pang Jie personally welcomed God King Wei Zheng inside.

Even though the welcoming ceremony was about to end, the arrival of God King Wei Zheng still brought a new climax.

"Didn't you just say that no God King would come to observe the ceremony? Did you see that? That's God King Wei Zheng, one of the most powerful God Kings among rogue cultivators."

"I know God King Wei Zheng. Although he's a rogue cultivator, he acts fairly and justly. He's also at the fourth level of the God King Realm and stands at the pinnacle of the God Domain."

…

Mo Wuji also breathed a sigh of relief. At least one God King had come to observe the ceremony. Otherwise, no matter how well he performed as the Hall Master of the External Affairs Hall, something would always be missing.

Like a chain reaction, just as God King Wei Zheng entered, the disciple announcing the gifts once again shouted loudly, "A warm welcome to Lan Ou, a disciple of the Forgotten River Dao Sect (Wang Chuan Dao Men), Bian Huang'er, a disciple of the Forgotten River Dao Sect; Gong Qianchan, a disciple of the Radiant Moon Divine Sect (Xi Yue Shen Zong); and Gan Luan, a disciple of the Nine Evolutions Divine Sect (Jiu Yan Shen Zong)!"

Four extremely beautiful young women walked over from the golden carpet.

Mo Wuji was somewhat stunned. Each of these four women was more beautiful than the last. Mo Wuji was already at the first level of the God Nurturing Realm. With his eyesight, he could easily see that none of these four women had entered the Heavenly God Realm. They were all in the God Nurturing Realm.

It was fine for four such beautiful women with such low cultivation levels to come to observe the ceremony. The key was that none of these four people had brought gifts, and they were walking on the golden carpet with peace of mind.

Wait, these sects seem to have been mentioned before. Wasn't that woman named Liu Ruting from the Nine Evolutions Divine Sect…?

While Mo Wuji was thinking about these sects, Su Xia whispered in his ear, "They are all from top sects. The Forgotten River Dao Sect, the Nine Evolutions Divine Sect, and the Radiant Moon Divine Sect are all large sects."

Not only was Mo Wuji muttering to himself, but the other guests were also discussing it. They had just said that only the Divine Harmony Valley had come to offer congratulations, but now, in the blink of an eye, several more top sects had arrived. The Forgotten River Dao Sect, the Nine Evolutions Divine Sect, and the Radiant Moon Divine Sect were all famous existences in the God Domain.

But something didn't seem right. Not only had these disciples who came to offer congratulations not brought any gifts, but their cultivation levels were also too low, not even a single Heavenly God Realm disciple, only four God Nurturing Realm disciples…

Were they here to congratulate or to humiliate them?

Mo Wuji also understood what was going on. It was fine if the major sects didn't come to congratulate, but they had actually sent some lackeys over. Were they trying to humiliate them? However, as the Hall Master of the External Affairs Hall, he still suppressed his anger and said to Su Xia beside him, "Su Xia, take them to the guest hall."

After all, they were from major sects. If they were not received well, it would bring hatred to the Heaven's Fate Sect.

"Are you the person in charge?" To Mo Wuji's surprise, just as he had instructed Su Xia, the four women walking on the golden carpet stopped, and one of them specifically walked up to him and asked.

(I think the third update today will definitely be very late. I'll still ask for monthly tickets for the second update. Anyway, it won't be lost no matter how late it is!)
