As one of the three sacred sects of the Grand Essence Realm, the Seven Star Sacred Shrine had a very high status. Moreover, the Sect Master of the Seven Star Sacred Shrine, Han Qianwei, was currently in seclusion to comprehend the Dao Fusion Realm.
Moreover, in recent years, the Seven Star Sacred Shrine's status in the Grand Essence Realm had risen even more. The main reason was not Sect Leader Han Qianwei, who was in seclusion, but Vice Sect Leader Mu Yuankong.
Mu Yuankong was just a Deputy Sect Master in the Seven Star Sacred Shrine. However, he had a higher identity. That is, he was one of the ten pillars of the Grand Essence Dao Court. More importantly, the Dao Lord of the Taisu Dao Court, Ning Cheng, valued him very much. He even placed him on the same level as the First Court Pillar Li Feng and the Elixir Association.
Because of Ning Cheng's attention, Mu Yuankong didn't spend much time in the Seven Star Sacred Shrine. He spent most of his time in Heaven Essence Sacred City, in charge of the Dao Court Army. Moreover, the cultivation resources provided by Heaven Essence Sacred City were far superior compared to the sects. Mu Yuankong also believed that Ning Cheng had a bright future ahead of him. Following behind Ning Cheng, the Dao Lord of the Grand Essence Dao Court, was the right choice.
The Seven Star Sacred Shrine's Sect Master went into seclusion, and the Vice Sect Master was absent all year round. Even so, the Seven Star Sacred Shrine was still thriving.
Today, the Seven Star Sacred Shrine felt a bit strange. The Seven Star Sacred Shrine's Sect Protecting Grand Array had loosened, as if someone had cracked open the Sect Protecting Grand Array with their bare hands. The spatial fluctuations in the entire sect were so great that even the laws of heaven and earth became unstable.
At the same time, the rumbling sounds of dao charm filled the air, which made the people from the Seven Star Sacred Shrine even more nervous. A group of Elders and some Peak Masters of the Seven Star Sacred Shrine had gathered in front of the Array Entrance of the Barrier Protecting Grand Array.
"Elder Fan, the spatial fluctuations of my Seven Star Sacred Shrine are so intense. Could someone have secretly tampered with the Barrier Protecting Grand Array?" The one who asked was a deacon who guarded the Array Heart. He was well aware of the fluctuations of the Barrier Protecting Grand Array.
The one being questioned was a white-haired old man, the Seven Star Sacred Shrine's Sect Protector Elder Fan Mu. In the past, when Ning Cheng entered the Grand Essence Mystic Realm on behalf of the Seven Star Sacred Shrine, he was the one who led the team.
Even though Fan Mu was in the Primordial Dao Realm, he didn't know what was going on in the face of such intense spatial fluctuations. He thought for a long time before saying, "I'm not sure about this. I'll immediately send a message to Sect Master Far Void and ask him what's going on."
"Boom ….." Fan Mu didn't even have time to send out a message when an extremely powerful dao charm erupted from the Seven Star Sacred Shrine's main peak, the Seven Star Peak.
A Grand Dao Charm that could almost be touched by spiritual consciousness fluctuated in the air. A middle-aged man standing in the crowd immediately cried out in surprise, "The Sect Master has come out of seclusion. Let's hurry up and welcome him."
After saying that, the middle-aged man was the first to rush towards the main peak.
Several disciples of the Seven Star Sacred Shrine also followed behind, but the rest of the people hesitated. Many of them looked at Fan Mu.
Fan Mu knew what was going on. The Seven Star Sacred Shrine's Sect Master was Han Qianwei, while the Deputy Sect Master was Mu Yuankong.
However, the Sect Master had always looked down on Ning Cheng, the Dao Lord of the Taisu Dao Court. He didn't even bother to participate in Ning Cheng's first sect meeting. Because of this, he had never come out of seclusion. He didn't even know how strong Ning Cheng's status and strength had become.
Deputy Sect Master Mu Yuankong fully supported Ning Cheng, which in fact went against the original intentions of Sect Master Han Qianwei. No matter what Deputy Sect Master Mu Yuankong had in mind, Fan Mu knew that Ning Cheng, the Grand Essence Realm's Dao Lord, wasn't a simple person.
Moreover, Dao Lord Ning Cheng's establishment of the Grand Essence Dao Court would only bring benefits to everyone in the Grand Essence Realm. Dao Lord Ning Cheng himself also had formidable strength, even comparable to Dao Perfection experts. Even the Grand Change Dao Court's army had attacked the Grand Essence Realm several times, but they were repelled under Dao Lord Ning's leadership.
Regardless of whether the Sect Master succeeded in Dao Perfection or not, he couldn't fight against Dao Lord Ning. Just look at the several Dao Perfection experts in the Grand Essence Realm, all of them supported Dao Lord Ning Cheng. So what if the Sect Master was strong? Whether it was public or private, he, Fan Mu, would always support Deputy Sect Master Mu Yuankong.
Fan Mu only hesitated for a moment before speaking up, "Since the Sect Master has come out, we naturally have to welcome him. As for the fluctuations of the Realm Protection Grand Array, let's talk about it later."
Fan Mu's cultivation wasn't the highest, but his status in the Seven Star Sacred Shrine wasn't bad. With Fan Mu taking the lead, the rest naturally didn't hesitate anymore and followed the Sect Master to the main peak where he went into seclusion.
… …
Han Qian didn't suddenly come out, not because he succeeded in Dao Perfection, but because the violent traces of Dao charm had directly broken through his Seven Star Sacred Shrine's Realm Protection Grand Array.
The Seven Star Sacred Shrine's Realm Protection Grand Array was connected to his mind. Therefore, he naturally knew that someone had forcibly broken through the Realm Protection Grand Array. Even if he didn't want to come out, he had no choice but to do so. Unfortunately, as long as he had a little more time, he might have been able to comprehend the second step. Even if he couldn't reach Dao Perfection, he would still be an expert infinitely close to it.
Han Qian hadn't even opened the cave residence's restrictions, so he felt a little puzzled. What was going on? Even the weakest person would know about the fluctuations of Dao charm before he came out of seclusion. Knowing that the Sect Master had come out of seclusion, he would naturally rush to the main peak as soon as possible. So why was it so quiet outside his main peak's grand array?
Fortunately, at this time, more than a dozen people had already arrived outside the main peak's grand array. Before Han Qian opened the array, a middle-aged man came in first and bowed, "Disciple Xiang Junying congratulates Sect Master for coming out of seclusion. Congratulations to Sect Master for reaching the next level."
Han Qian didn't nod. He saw Elder Fan Mu and the others also come over. He didn't see Deputy Sect Master Mu Yuankong. Not only did he not see the Deputy Sect Master, but the other Elders and Peak Masters of the Seven Star Sacred Shrine also didn't come over.
Although Xiang Junying wasn't his direct disciple, she had always been very respectful to him. This time, he was also the first one to come out of seclusion. In the future, he could consider accepting Xiang Junying into the Seven Star Peak.
"Is Deputy Sect Master Mu not in the sect?" Han Qian asked casually. He knew that even if Mu Yuankong had some thoughts about him, he wouldn't dare not come out on the big day he came out of seclusion.
Xiang Junying quickly replied, "Replying to Sect Master, Deputy Sect Master Mu is now one of the ten Court Pillars of the Grand Essence Dao Court. The Dao Court has a lot of things to do, so he probably can't come back."
Grand Essence Dao Court? Han Qian froze slightly. A Dao Court was established in the Grand Essence Realm? He knew about Ning Cheng's sect meeting, and it was also at that time that he went into seclusion. He didn't expect that Ning Cheng would use this sect meeting to establish the Grand Essence Dao Court.
Ning Cheng's establishment of the Grand Essence Dao Court had already been announced to the entire Grand Essence Realm. Therefore, Han Qian's seclusion array formation naturally wouldn't allow outside voices to come in. As such, he didn't know about this matter. Later, he never participated in the two wars between the Grand Essence Dao Court and the Grand Change Realm.
Because the Grand Essence Realm had always been the winner, coupled with Mu Yuankong's intention not to disturb Han Qian's seclusion, Han Qian didn't know that the Grand Essence Realm had changed so much until now.
Han Qian only froze for a moment, but he immediately felt angry in his heart. Mu Yuankong didn't even tell him about the establishment of the Grand Essence Realm's Dao Court. He even dared to hide that he had become a Court Pillar of the Grand Essence Dao Court. This was simply despicable. No wonder when he came out of seclusion, not many Peak Masters came over. It turned out that they didn't even put him in their eyes. These people probably thought that Mu Yuankong would become the Sect Master of the Seven Star Sacred Shrine and that he, Han Qian, was just a puppet.
"Summon all the Peak Masters, Deacons, and Elders of the Seven Star Sacred Shrine. Immediately hold a sect meeting." Han Qian couldn't hold back his anger and directly ordered Xiang Junying.
If there wasn't any major event, the Seven Star Sacred Shrine's sect meeting would only be held once every few years. Once the sect meeting was held, even the Peak Masters and Elders who were far away from the sect had to rush back in time.
… …
Mu Yuankong had just returned to the Seven Star Sacred Shrine when he received a message about the sect meeting. Originally, he came back because of the rumbling Dao Charm that filled every corner. He also wanted to summon the Elders and Peak Masters for a meeting. He didn't expect that the Sect Master would come out of seclusion and also hold a sect meeting.
Mu Yuankong guessed that Han Qian wouldn't dare to do anything to him, but he felt that he shouldn't return to the sect for the time being. Even if the Sect Master hadn't reached Dao Unification, he, Mu Yuankong, was far from being Sect Master Han Qian's opponent. If Han Qian didn't get angry and killed him, even if Dao Lord Ning came back to avenge him, it would be too late.
"Since Yuankong is back, come in. I just came out of seclusion and am holding a sect meeting. You came back at the right time. "Mu Yuankong was still hesitating when Han Qian's voice reached his ears.
At this time, even if Mu Yuankong didn't want to go in, he could only bite the bullet and go in.
The Seven Star Sacred Shrine's sect hall was rarely so lively. Dozens of Peak Masters, hundreds of deacons, and Elders were gathered together.
Sitting at the head of the table was Han Qian, who had just come out of seclusion. Sitting on his left was Mu Yuankong, who had just returned to the sect.
"I've been in seclusion on the Main Peak because I'm trying to break through to the Dao Integration Realm. The heavy responsibilities of the sect have fallen on the shoulders of the Peak Masters, deacons, and Elders. This is my dereliction of duty as the Sect Master. Fortunately, I didn't come out empty-handed. Although I haven't completely stepped into the Dao Integration Realm, I've already taken a step in … "Han Qian's tone was calm, but his powerful aura told everyone that he was now a half-step Dao Integration expert.
In the Grand Essence Realm, except for a few Dao Integration experts, half-step Dao Integration experts were the peak experts. If he had the opportunity to go to a realm with complete Heaven and Earth Laws, he could easily step into the Dao Integration Realm.
Han Qian didn't believe that after he said he was half-step Dao Integration, he would definitely suppress those Peak Masters, Elders, and the others who didn't even greet him when he came out of seclusion.
What made Han Qian not angry was that apart from a few Seven Star Peak Elders and deacons who echoed his words, most of them were very calm and didn't show the shock he had imagined.
Mu Yuankong said in a timely manner, "Sect Master Han of the Seven Star Sacred Shrine is a happy event. In any case, the strength of the Seven Star Sacred Shrine has also increased greatly. Congratulations, Sect Master Han."
"Congratulations, Sect Master Han." As Mu Yuankong's voice fell, almost eighty percent of the Peak Masters and Elders in the hall stood up and echoed in unison. Compared to before Han Qian's announcement, this aura was much stronger.
Han Qian didn't show the slightest bit of joy. In fact, he was so angry that he almost used his Divine Ability to kill Mu Yuankong. How many years had he been in seclusion? Mu Yuankong actually dared to make him a figurehead. Now that he had clearly come out of seclusion and his strength was also at the half-step Dao Integration Realm, the Peak Masters and Elders of the Seven Star Sacred Shrine still dared to not give him face. How could he endure this kind of anger?
"Sect Master, there is a cultivator surnamed Ning outside asking to see you." At this moment, the disciple guarding the array formation suddenly rushed into the sect hall to report.
