Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these two days, Li Xuan had witnessed true top-tier forces.
Not to mention the colossal Yuan and Xuan clans, even other first-rate powers left Li Xuan astounded. Chaos Spirit Treasures, rarely seen in ordinary times, were commonplace on the Sacred Yuan Continent.
Among the seven or eight powerful teams Li Xuan observed, their mounts were all of Chaos Spirit Treasure grade. No wonder Wang Kun had called Li Xuan's flying boat rather rudimentary; compared to these, it truly was.
"See that? The team that just entered is from the Yuan clan. The one leading them is Yuan Chuge, the clan leader of the Yuan clan. His strength broke through to the Intermediate Supreme realm fifty years ago. I wonder if his current strength has advanced further."
As a grand procession shot into the barrier, Wang Kun's voice sounded again.
These past two days, Wang Kun had introduced every faction's team to Li Xuan.
This greatly increased Li Xuan's understanding of the powers on the Sacred Yuan Continent, which he had not been fully aware of.
"Brother Wang, when will this barrier disappear?" Li Xuan nodded at the introduction and then asked Wang Kun. With two days gone, Li Xuan was naturally eager to enter Moon Mountain of the Moon Clan.
"It should be soon. According to reason, most factions have arrived. The Moon Clan wouldn't be so stingy as to not let us rogue cultivators witness the ceremony," Wang Kun said, looking around with some uncertainty.
It had indeed been two days, and the Saintess Ceremony should be starting soon. Yet, the surrounding barrier remained, leaving Wang Kun puzzled.
*Buzz.*
At this moment, accompanied by a humming sound, the egg-shaped barrier began to dissipate from top to bottom.
Seeing this, Li Xuan and Wang Kun immediately moved, heading straight for the Moon Spirit Plaza on Moon Mountain.
"Brother Li, come here!"
As soon as Li Xuan arrived at Moon Spirit Plaza, he was stunned by the sight of the vast plaza packed with an ocean of people.
Before he could fully recover, Wang Kun's voice reached him.
Li Xuan's mind settled slightly upon hearing the call. Following Wang Kun's voice, he saw two empty seats.
The plaza had thousands of platforms surrounding it, yet only these few seats remained. This showed the grandeur of the Saintess Ceremony.
"Brother Wang, thank you." Li Xuan said, cupping his fists in thanks after sitting down.
Without Wang Kun's guidance, Li Xuan would likely not have found this spot.
Wang Kun waved his hand with a smile and replied, "Didn't I accept your favor earlier? Consider this repayment. Never mind that, look."
Li Xuan smiled and followed the direction Wang Kun indicated.
Upon seeing, a hint of surprise appeared in Li Xuan's eyes. On the high platform of Moon Spirit Plaza, several figures were seated.
"Those are all high-ranking figures of the Moon Clan. Aside from the main lineage, the patriarchs of the other five major branches are all present. Furthermore, four elders from the main lineage, except for the Grand Elder, are also above."
"Moreover, the patriarch of the Yan lineage, Yue Yantian, is said to be the father of this Saintess," Wang Kun pointed to the high platform and said.
"Brother Wang, you seem to know a great deal about these prominent families," Li Xuan nodded slightly.
"Naturally. Whether it's the Moon Clan, Yuan Clan, or Xuan Clan, these major families are immensely powerful. By the way, the Saint Clan's team has yet to arrive."
Wang Kun chuckled and scanned the aerial courtyards around the high platform.
Li Xuan looked and saw four aerial courtyards level with the high platform. The Xuan, Yuan, and Li clans had already taken their seats in their respective courtyards. The single empty aerial courtyard was naturally reserved for the Saint Clan.
It was unexpected that the Saint Clan's delegation had not yet arrived at this point.
"Esteemed guests, I am Yue Zhengxiao of the Moon Clan, the host of this Saintess Ceremony. Firstly, on behalf of the Moon Clan, I express my gratitude for your long journey. If there are any shortcomings, I hope you will forgive them."
Yue Zhengxiao cupped his hands and addressed the assembled crowd.
"We welcome the Clan Leader!"
After Yue Zhengxiao finished speaking, he turned and bowed towards the void, shouting.
"We welcome the Clan Leader!"
As Yue Zhengxiao's voice faded, those on the high platform also rose in unison and bowed towards the void, shouting.
*Buzz.*
After Yue Zhengxiao and the others finished speaking, a figure slowly emerged from the void.
The arrival was none other than Yue Zhengqi, the clan leader of the Moon Clan.
With Yue Zhengqi's appearance, the delegations of the three other major clans in their aerial courtyards also rose and offered a respectful bow.
"Elder Yue Xiao, please proceed," Yue Zhengqi said to the three clan leaders, his gaze sweeping over the Saint Clan's aerial courtyard before turning to Yue Zhengxiao.
"Yes, Clan Leader," Yue Zhengxiao bowed and nodded, then turned to Moon Spirit Plaza and announced, "The Saintess Ceremony, now be-"
"Heh heh, Clan Leader Yue, my apologies, we are a little late."
Just as Yue Zhengxiao was about to declare the Saintess Ceremony open, a resounding voice suddenly rang out.
Li Xuan, Wang Kun, and the others looked over. A dragon throne was approaching through the air.
The man leading them was eight feet tall, with a stern face and flowing beard. His aura was incredibly potent.
Just a glance made Li Xuan's soul feel a faint stinging sensation, and his eyes became so dry that tears streamed down.
The arrival was none other than the Saint Clan's delegation, led by the Saint Lord, the clan leader of the Saint Clan.
"The Saint Lord truly has impeccable timing. However, since you are here, please take your seat," Yue Zhengqi said, glancing at the Saint Lord with a discernible hint of displeasure in his eyes.
However, under the gaze of everyone, he did not show it and spoke slowly.
"It is better to arrive at the opportune moment than too early. Since the Saintess Ceremony is just beginning, I shall not delay everyone further."
The Saint Lord smiled freely, nodded to Elder Sheng Tian and others, and then headed towards the already prepared aerial courtyard.
"The Saintess Ceremony officially begins!"
As the Saint Lord and his party descended, Yue Zhengxiao looked at Yue Zhengqi. Upon receiving a nod from the latter, he shouted loudly.
*Boom, boom, boom!*
As Yue Zhengxiao's voice concluded, three rumbling sounds shot up into the sky.
Following the thunderous sounds, incredibly brilliant rainbow streaks instantly appeared in the sky.
A pleasant melody filled the air, and many spiritual birds flew in, chirping merrily. The scene was like a fairyland.
As the crowd was entranced, Yue Zhengxiao's voice sounded again: "Please welcome the Saintess!"
