Early in the morning.
The sun rose.
The entire Never-Ending Territory was already packed with people. People from all the major sects, clans, and families of the Divine Continent rushed over from all directions.
They were not here to welcome Ye Tianlan, the female sect leader of the Shangqing Sect.
They were here to suppress King Chixiao, Gu Tianlang.
Yesterday, the news of Scarlet Firmament Sovereign King appearing at the foot of the Shang Qing Sect spread across the entire Divine Great Land. Not only that, it was said that Scarlet Firmament Sovereign King even said that he would settle the old scores today. He even said that all the sects that went against Scarlet Firmament Sovereign King back then would not be able to escape.
Therefore, almost everyone who heard the news came.
No one knew how many sects and clans came. They only knew that the huge Never-Ending Territory was full of people.
Some people might just be here to join in the fun.
But more people from the major sects and clans came to suppress King Chixiao.
There were countless sects and clans under the major sects and clans. One could imagine how many people there were.
The Never-Ending Territory was like that.
At the foot of the Shangqing Sect's mountain, it was already crowded.
And looking around, good heavens.
Mahayana Sect, Pure Sun Sect, Thousand Star Sect, Jade Moon Sect, Fire Cloud Sect, Heavenly Water Sect, Ximen Yunhe Immortal Clan, Daluo Mountain and Sea Immortal Clan, Spirit Snake Valley Immortal Clan, Tiger Might Wang Clan, Flowing Light Immortal Clan, Cloud Dragon Clan, and so on.
It was no exaggeration to say that almost all the major forces of the Divine Continent were here.
And the people who came were all the leaders of the major sects and clans.
Some of them were respected seniors of the older generation in the Divine Land.
There were also young geniuses of the Divine Continent who were famous in the younger generation.
Even many of the inner sect patriarchs in charge of the major sects seemed to have come.
Immortals were everywhere.
There were Itinerant Immortals and Perfected Immortals.
Itinerant Immortals were mostly beyond the ninth tribulation. There were even 12th tribulation, 18th tribulation, and 24th tribulation Itinerant Immortals.
There were countless Perfected Immortals, and there was no lack of Overarching Heavenly Supreme Immortals.
Once a cultivator became an Immortal and a Perfected Immortal, they were Immortals.
Above Immortals were Exalted Immortals.
Immortals did not have an immortal position. Only after ascending to the Exalted Immortal Realm would one reach the Allheaven Immortal Realm.
The Overarching Heaven Celestial Realm had a total of 81 levels. It was the legendary 81 levels of the Overarching Heaven Realm.
It was not difficult for Immortals to become Ascendant Immortals. It was only a matter of time. As long as an Immortal could endure for a period of time, they would become Ascendant Immortals.
Of course.
Although it was only a matter of time, it also depended on one's talent and luck.
Those with good natural endowments might be able to step into the Ascendant Immortal realm in a year or even a day.
On the other hand, those with poor natural endowments might not even be able to step into the Ascendant Immortal realm in a thousand or even ten thousand years, let alone one year.
After becoming an Exalted Celestial, one would enter the Overarching Heaven Celestial Stage.
His physical body, thoughts, consciousness, divine sense, and even his soul would enter the Allheaven Immortal Realm.
The Allheaven Celestial Realm was the entry stage of the Immortal Dao. There were 81 levels in total.
Although there were 81 levels in the Overarching Heaven Celestial Stage, each level was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. This was because each level of the Overarching Heaven Celestial Stage contained endless mysteries.
This was not a matter of natural endowments or luck. It was a matter of comprehending the Immortal Dao of Allheaven.
The reason why Immortals went into seclusion for hundreds of years at the shortest and thousands or even tens of thousands of years at the longest was to comprehend the Immortal Dao.
Once one completely comprehended the Allheaven Celestial Stage, that was, after successfully breaking through all 81 levels, one would become a legendary Perfected Golden Immortal.
Unfortunately, it was not easy to comprehend the 81 levels of the Allheaven Celestial Stage.
At the very least, in this world, whether it was the major sects or Immortal Clans, respected seniors, or geniuses with unparalleled luck, there were very few people who could completely comprehend the Allheaven Celestial Stage. It could be said that there were very few of them. Even in the Shangqing Sect, there were not many almighty figures who had become Perfected Golden Immortals.
However.
Although there were not many, it did not mean that there were none.
Legend had it that there were at least one or two Perfected Golden Immortals in the cabinet of the major sects and Immortal Clans.
However, it was unknown if they would come today.
If they did, it would be too lively.
At the foot of the mountain.
The inner and outer sect members of the Shangqing Sect, as well as the elders of the Shangqing Sect, were also present. The True Court Immortal Master, the Zhenyang Wine Immortal, the Shangqing Sect's Crown Princess Yun Wan, and even Fairy Su Yan were present.
They had been persuading the major sects and repeatedly explaining that Gu Qingfeng's words yesterday were not to settle old scores. On the contrary, they wanted to resolve the grudges of the past. Unfortunately, no matter how they tried to persuade them, the effect was minimal.
Su'Er had been watching silently. She did not say anything today.
She had already tried to persuade them yesterday. She also realized that the key to the problem was not what Gu Qingfeng had said yesterday. She knew very well that even if Gu Qingfeng had not said those words yesterday and did not even appear in front of the public, these people would definitely not let the matter rest.
This was because Gu Qingfeng had caused the major sects and families to suffer too much humiliation in the ancient times. Now that they finally had such a great opportunity, they all wanted to take this opportunity to wash away the humiliation of the ancient times. Only by washing away the humiliation could they truly rise in the modern era. Otherwise, they would never be able to raise their heads with the label of being slaughtered by King Chixiao in the ancient times.
However.
This was not what Su'Er was really worried about.
She knew very well that no matter how many experts the major sects and families sent today, they would definitely not act rashly, let alone attack Gu Qingfeng. Firstly, they were all wary of Gu Qingfeng's mysterious and terrifying strength. Secondly, and most importantly, Sengoku and the Shangqing Sect had already expressed their stance and chose to remain silent. Without the support of Sengoku and the Shangqing Sect, the major sects would not dare to act recklessly.
The main reason he came here today was to test the waters, to coerce, and to denounce.
To test the true attitude of Sengoku and the Shangqing Sect.
They also wanted to join forces and rely on their numbers to force Sengoku and the Shangqing Sect to come out and punish Gu Qingfeng.
Even if Sengoku and the Shangqing Sect really did not come out, they would still force Gu Qingfeng to apologize for what happened in the ancient times.
The reason why Su'Er was not worried about this was because she knew the attitude of Sengoku and the Shangqing Sect. No matter how the major sects forced them, Sengoku and the Shangqing Sect would not punish Gu Qingfeng. Most importantly, Gu Qingfeng himself said that he wanted to resolve the grievances of the past. If possible, he was also willing to apologize.
Su'Er felt that as long as Gu Qingfeng was willing to apologize, there would not be any major problems with the Shangqing Sect mediating on this side.
What really worried her were the God's favored ones of the major sects, especially those in the inner sect of the Shangqing Sect.
Gu Qingfeng's existence was like a mountain to any God's favored one in this world. It was also a mountain that all God's favored ones wanted to surpass or even overthrow.
