Looking at this group from Baihua Holy Land, Zhong Lin’s lips curled slightly, revealing a playful smile, while unconsciously glancing at Second Senior Brother beside him.
Because he saw a few familiar figures in this crowd.
Leading this group from Baihua Holy Land is also a woman, dressed in a white dress, but embroidered with a bright moon.
She might not have the stunning grace of other women, but she didn’t hide her aura, and surprisingly, she was also a Sealing King expert, comparable to their own Senior Brother.
As the woman approached, Zhong Lin and Chi Zhonglin dared not be negligent at all, cupping their hands in salute, saying, "Greetings, Moon Spirit King."
This person was the Moon Spirit King of Baihua Holy Land, and the Moon Spirit Flower is a kind of spiritual medicine that grows under very strict conditions, blooming like a rising bright moon, full of aloofness and coldness.
Disciples of Baihua Holy Land take names after flowers upon entry, and after breaking through to the King Realm, she became the Moon Spirit King.
The Moon Spirit King nodded slightly towards the two, then led the many disciples to step into the mountain.
"Little Brother Chi."
Among the crowd, the Saintess Lu Luo, with a complicated expression, softly called out to Chi Zhonglin as she approached.
Chi Zhonglin, however, remained calm and unperturbed, slightly cupping his hands, saying, "I have seen Senior Sister Lu Luo, the seat for Baihua Holy Land is ready, please take your seat."
Lu Luo Saintess heard this, her eyes dimmed, bowed slightly and didn’t say more, and followed the crowd into Sky-reaching Peak.
Zhong Lin moved slightly closer, giving a thumbs-up towards Chi Zhonglin.
Thinking that Second Senior Brother might not move on, it seems he underestimated him; it turns out that the temperament of a Martial Artist is indeed not lacking.
Chi Zhonglin laughed and scolded, "You brat," and then continued to greet the guests.
"Wind and Thunder King of Thunderbolt Sacred Land brings disciples to congratulate."
"Sky Saber King of Divine Blade Sacred Land brings disciples to congratulate."
"Jade Leopard King of Ancient Spirit Sacred Land brings disciples to congratulate."
"Fang Xuan King of Fang Domain brings disciples to congratulate."
Continuously, Holy Land disciples or many renowned experts arrived, and among them, the leaders of the Holy Land were all Sealing King experts, while those Loose Cultivator experts were mostly Nirvana Realm masters.
Every time a strong figure arrived, it would cause waves of exclamations.
As the sun gradually rose.
Sky-reaching Peak became increasingly lively.
Zhong Lin stood like a little transparent figure behind Chi Zhonglin, feeling quite good, not only because today was the Sealing King Ceremony of Senior Brother, but also because many of the guests came with gifts, among which included many Sword Dao texts and martial arts, and those given as gifts at today’s Sealing King Ceremony were naturally not ordinary goods.
Zhong Lin had long read through all the texts in the Scripture Pavilion, and this time replenishing them naturally made him happy.
Of course, standing together with Chi Zhonglin, Zhong Lin would also occasionally attract some attention.
After all, Zhong Lin had become quite famous during this time, slaying the True Disciple of Battle Heaven Saint Heir with one strike and obtaining the Undying Evil Emperor’s inheritance from God Desolate King’s hands; just these two matters were enough to make him known throughout the Eastern Desolate.
However, he remained calm and composed.
Zhong Lin raised his eyebrows, looking towards the sky.
He saw a figure walking in the air from afar, no, to be precise, three figures.
The middle-aged man in white clothes looked quite ordinary, but he held an absolute beauty on each side, two women who were strikingly similar in appearance and had high cultivation, actually being a pair of charming twins.
At this moment, the three appeared somewhat detached from reality as the two beauties tenderly served with spirit fruits and fine wine in hand, gently stroking with their fingers, occasionally offering fragrant kisses and gentle breezes.
This kind of scene made many young people extremely envious, but their elders showed awe on their faces.
To carry such a carefree demeanor was certainly the mark of a Sealing King expert.
Some well-versed individuals had already recognized the newcomer’s identity, their eyes showing a sudden realization.
"Second Senior Brother, who is this?" Zhong Lin curiously sent a voice transmission.
"A Loose Cultivator Martial Artist, Carefree King."
Just as Chi Zhonglin’s voice faded, the three from afar had already arrived before Sky-reaching Peak.
Chi Zhonglin stepped forward, cupping his hands, saying, "I have seen Carefree King, Brother Tu has already prepared the seat, please take your seat."
The words revealed the newcomer’s identity, and Zhong Lin suddenly understood.
The person before them was titled "Carefree King," and his life story was quite legendary. Born a Loose Cultivator, he experienced countless fortuitous encounters and ultimately became a Sealing King expert, making him the target for countless Loose Cultivator Martial Artists.
Carefree King laughed heartily: "When I first met Brother Tu, I predicted that he would one day be among the King Realm experts, but I didn’t expect that in just less than a hundred years, he would attain the Sealing King title. Truly, as the First Saint of Heavenly Sword Sacred Land, he makes others envious."
Speaking, they crossed into Sky-reaching Peak, heading towards the central high platform, sitting opposite those Sealing King experts who had already arrived, exuding the demeanor of a Sealing King expert which deeply impressed the crowd.
Zhong Lin also observed from afar, carefully examining this Carefree King’s aura, more powerful than his Senior Brother, but lacking compared to his Master.
Sealing King experts cultivate Domains, making their cultivation even harder, often stagnating for hundreds or even thousands of years, and many who barely step into the King Realm exhaust their potential, unable to advance further.
"It seems that this Carefree King’s early fortuitous encounters have a limit, or perhaps his own aptitude has reached its upper limit, and it won’t be long before he’s surpassed by Senior Brother."
In fact, this is expected, as the limitations for Loose Cultivators are quite vast, whereas Holy Land disciples are each carefully selected from among thousands of geniuses, cultivating top-tier Cultivation Techniques and martial arts, with fast early cultivation speed and steady pace later as well, incomparable to Loose Cultivators with mere fortuitous encounters.
Of course, there’s no denying some fateful individuals with extraordinarily good fortune, but they are extremely rare.
The arrival of Carefree King further elevated the atmosphere of Sky-reaching Peak.
Especially some Loose Cultivator experts, who looked on with eager eyes, and some stunning women with arousing glances.
It’s said that Carefree King has yet to take on any disciples and is merely infatuated with women, but every woman by his side has benefited considerably, such as the twin sisters now being beneficiaries.
Even sect forces wish to befriend him, including Holy Lands, wanting to rope him into their own sects.
Even those whose potential has been exhausted, a Sealing King expert still increases the sect’s strength if brought in.
In essence, the Sealing King Ceremony is a grand arena of fame and benefits, where everyone seeks what they need from it.
Senior Brother Tu Ye and Heavenly Sword Sacred Land use this to showcase their foundation, making a name for themselves worldwide, while others seize this opportunity to make connections and gain insights, hoping to grasp even a sliver of the Sealing King chance.
"Holy Desolate King of Battle Heaven Sacred Domain brings disciples to congratulate."
Chi Zhonglin called out again, and instantly, the entire Sky-reaching Peak went silent; eyes intermittently shifted between Zhong Lin, who was like a small transparent figure behind Chi Zhonglin, and the group from Battle Heaven Sacred Land, with a playful and unknowable expression.
