At the moment, many inner sect disciples of the Clear Void Holy Land were gathered on the outer peak.
‘They rarely visit the outer peak on other days, and they’d gathered here for the sake of seeing Li Yu.
Li Qingyun and the Clear Void Holy Land could be said to have had great enmity back then.
However, to the younger generation of disciples, that calamity existed in legends.
Although they had heard of the story, it was difficult to relate.
Unlike the older generation, who held grudges and hated Li Qingyun to the bone, the past did not affect their respect for other people’s excellent aspects.
Furthermore, Li Qingyun and the Clear Void Holy Land were enemies of the previous generation, and Li Yu represented the new generation.
Therefore, these disciples hoped to see with their own eyes the boy who could utter the Great Dao’s mantra and become the number one prodigy of the human race.
This was especially true for some young female disciples filled with anticipation.
“Lheard from Senior Brother Qin that Li Yu’s strength is incredible, and his appearance and bearing are also extraordinary!”
“Hmm, regardless of appearance or class, Senior Brother Chu should have been the best and unmatched in the world. Li Yu must be extraordinary and outstanding to be ranked ahead of him!”
“The Sons of Heaven Rankings isn’t ranked based on looks and bearing. What if he’s ordinary-looking?”
“How is that possible? Someone who can top the rankings and speak the truths of the Great Dao must be extraordinary!”
“That’s right. An auspicious phenomenon descended from the heavens when he topped the rankings. This guy must have the image of an immortal!”
“I think you guys are just infatuated. Don’t be disappointed later!”
“Hmph, that’s right. In terms of looks, I think our Senior Brother is the best. Chu Yunhe is only bragging. Even if Li Yu is the top prodigy, he can’t compare to our Senior Brother.”
“Then what are you doing here? Didn’t you come to see the glory of the top genius too!”
“Ljust want to prove with my own eyes that Li Yu is inferior to Senior Brother Zhou!” The female disciples chattered non-stop.
Right at this moment, a dragon’s roar resounded through the sky, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.
‘The Purple Lightning Flood Dragon had already undergone significant changes under the nourishment of the Ancient Dao Fortune Tree. Its strength was comparable to the Profound Void Martial Stage, and its body became larger. It was increasingly similar to a true dragon.
It was as if a true dragon was flying over from the sky on purple lightning.
“It’s the Qingyun Sect!” The Clear Void Holy Land disciple patrolling in the air exclaimed.
“Tl inform Senior Brother Duan!” a disciple said and immediately flew to the main peak.
Duan Tianming had already instructed them that Li Yu should be riding the Purple Lightning Flood Dragon. If the Qingyun Sect arrived, they must inform him directly.
The flood dragon arrived above the Clear Void Holy Land’s outer peak in the blink of an eye. Everyone’s gaze gathered as their discussions intensified. Everyone sized up the purple lightning flood dragon as they wondered which faction had arrived.
However, no one could see the people standing on it since the flood dragon was in the air.
“are you from the Qingyun Sect?” The Clear Void Holy Land disciples in the air bowed respectfully with cupped hands while they curiously sized up the people standing on the dragon’s head.
Although they didn’t know Li Yu, they could recognize the top prodigy from his standing position and bearing.
‘They were also awed by Li Yu’s appearance and temperament.
Li Yu was indeed the number one prodigy of the human race. His bearing was extraordinary and peerless.
He seemed even more remarkable than their Holy Son.
‘The question attracted the crowd’s attention below, and a commotion instantly arose. Countless gazes gathered in the air, but they could only see the enormous body of the flood dragon, and they could not see Li Yu and the others.
“Indeed! Here are our tokens!” Li Yu had yet to finish his sentence when Ji Qinglan immediately pulled out the 11 tokens for the disciples to see.
“Okay, please wait a moment!” The disciple in the lead cupped his hands again.
At this moment, Duan Tianming flew over at high speed and arrived in a flash.
Seeing Li Yu, he cupped his hands with a smile. “Haha, Cultivator Li, we have met again!”
“ah, yes!” Li Yu put up a smile and cupped his hands in return.
“My master has already set up a banquet and is waiting for Cultivator Li. Our Holy Land has also prepared a resting place for your sect. Cultivator Li, please follow me!” Duan Tianming said with a smile.
Li Yu smiled slightly. He could not get used to the Clear Void Holy Land’s politeness.
Of course, he was not worried that the other party would set up an ambush for him. In his opinion, the Clear Void Holy Land was not that despicable.
“You’re too kind!” Li Yu cupped his hands and did not stand on ceremony. He rode the Purple Lightning Flood Dragon and followed Duan Tianming to the main peak.
‘As everyone from the Qingyun Sect followed Duan Tianming directly to the main peak of the Clear Void Holy Land, a commotion broke out among the people below. They were here to see Li Yu, but how could he fly away like that?
After arriving at the main peak, Duan Tianming started with a smile, “Cultivator Li, your mount will temporarily stay at the foot of the mountain. You and your fellow cultivators will follow me!”
“Sure!” Li Yu nodded, and he allowed the flood dragon to rest in the forest at the waist of the mountain while he brought his junior brothers to the main peak.
Many people were gathered on the main peak. They had rushed over to see Li Yu when they heard of his arrival.
Seeing Li Yu with their own eyes, everyone’s eyes brightened up, and they were stunned. Some young female disciples were even slightly infatuated.
Li Yu was like an exiled immortal. His appearance and bearing were spectacular. His body emitted a soft immortal glow, and there seemed to be a faint luminance of Dao fate circulating around him.
Duan Tianming called for a few disciples to bring the Qingyun Sect disciples to rest as he led Li Yu straight to a hall.
The hall was filled with guests. There were no empty seats, and more people stood behind those seats.
Li Yu did not know anyone in the room. The people sitting in the seats were obviously old. There were occasionally a few who looked relatively young. One thing was common across, they had the aura of authority.
It was clear that the people sitting here had deep backgrounds. They were probably the big shots of all the top factions in the Huaxia continent.
While the youth standing behind were probably the current prodigies of the various top factions.
At that moment, the gazes of everyone in the room gathered on Li Yu, and they sized him up with various expressions.
‘The older generation’s eyes were calm as water in an ancient well, and they did not reveal their emotions. Other than a few who had looks of admiration, the rest had practically no expression.
On the other hand, the young people behind them had shining eyes. Obviously, they were stunned by Li Yu’s demeanor.
After all, Li Yu had good looks, to begin with, and he possessed an extraordinary bearing. Coupled with the various buffs that the Heavenly Dao Rankings had bestowed upon him, he seemed like an immortal.
Duan Tianming cupped his hands and said, “Master, seniors, Cultivator Li Yu has arrived!”
“Hahaha, my young friend Li Yu, welcome to Clear Void Holy Land. Please have a seat!” Perfected Taiqing hurriedly stood up and welcomed him with a smile.
“Thank you for your hospitality!” Li Yu smiled and returned the greeting.
Duan Tianming quickly led Li Yu to a big square table on the side to sit.
He quickly retreated to the side of the hall and stood with his other senior brothers and sisters.
Although Li Yu’s seat was close to the end, the people sitting in the hall were clearly the bosses of the top factions in the Huaxia continent. Be it in terms of age, seniority, or status, they should be extraordinary.
In terms of strength, he could thrash all the old fellows in this room.
Nonetheless, they were barely worthy of sitting with him in terms of age and seniority.
