However, everyone was already here, so An Lin could only muster up the courage to face them.
As for Su Qianyun’s promotion, all of it was actually true, so it wasn’t as if they were scammers!
One should look at the representative of the Ancient Man Tribe, Little Lang. After transforming into a humanoid wolf form, he was extremely imposing, and a vast aura exuded from his body. What an intimidating sight!
Next, one should look at the representative of the Fairy Tribe, Little Na. The essence of the sun and moon converged toward her, and her flawlessness glowed radiantly under the light of the sun. She was small, but no one dared to look down on her!
One should also look at Xiao Ze, a mighty figure from the legendary Primordial Dragon Tribe!
He appeared to be a young boy, but he was extremely calm and collected in the face of such an overwhelming occasion. He sat still and meditated, as still as an elderly monk. He seemed to be unshakeable even though he was swaying slightly in the wind. That wasn’t drool dripping down the corner of his mouth, that was the dragon jade elixir!
After that, there was the representative of the Blood Tribe, Bryce, who had transformed into a little seedling and stood proudly in the soil…
F*ck! I can’t make up any more bullsh*t!
All the sect representatives were already looking at them with skeptical eyes… as if to say that they had arrived at a fake sect!
An Lin transmitted his voice to all his beast pets, “What the h.e.l.l are you all doing? Our sect’s reputation is being tarnished by all of you! Can’t you all act profound and do what Return to Void Stage mighty figures are supposed to do?!”
His voice had only just fallen when a loud voice drowned out all the commotion. The voice reported, “The representatives from the Vermilion Bird Sect, Elder Zhu Yuanzhou and his entourage, are here!”
Their arrival instantly attracted the attention of everyone gathered here.
The four great sects of the Kingdom of the Nine States were extremely powerful ent.i.ties, even in the context of the entire continent.
A middle-aged man with red hair and a red beard led a bunch of sect disciples as they made their way into the Four Nine Immortal Sect, among which there were many familiar faces.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan immediately made their way over to greet them.
“Uncle, you’re finally here!” Xiaolan greeted with a vibrant smile.
“h.e.l.lo, uncle!” An Lin also chimed in with a smile.
Zhu Yuanzhou glowered at the two of them. “You… Can’t you two settle down for just one minute?!”
An Lin offered up a sheepish smile.
Xu Xiaolan latched onto Zhu Yuanzhou’s arm with a pout. “I’m going to make my thoughts clear; this Four Nine Immortal Sect was built on the sweat and blood of An Lin and myself, so there’s no way we’re going to give up on it!”
“Tch…” Zhu Yuanzhou glared at An Lin, as if he was accusing him of bewitching his niece through dark sorcery. “Sect Leader has said that you can teach the mantra of the Vermilion Bird Sect to the Four Nine Immortal Sect disciples, but you can’t disclose the core sect mantra! Of course, if you invent your own mantra, then it’s up to you who you choose to teach it to!”
“M-hm! I’m aware of all that!” Xu Xiaolan’s pout gave way to an enchanting smile upon receiving permission.
All the mighty figures from the other sect were astonished upon hearing their conversation.
They had thought that the inheritances of the four great sects would just be a ruse to attract people to the sect. After all, no first-rate sect would allow their cultivation methods to be used by other sects.
However, they didn’t think that the Four Nine Immortal Sect could truly deliver on this promise!
To think that the Vermilion Bird Sect had actually given them the permission!
What a ma.s.sive shock!
Even though she wasn’t allowed to teach the core cultivation methods of the sect, but all the other cultivation methods of the Vermilion Bird Sect were still top-tier cultivation methods! It could be said that just this one aspect alone was enough to attract countless prodigies to the Four Nine Immortal Sect.
An Lin was pulled aside by Mo Hai, Yang Yuan, and Lan Yan.
“I heard you’ll have to wait a hundred years to become dao partners with Xu Xiaolan?” Yang Yuan asked with incredulity.
“That’s a lie! It’s only ninety-nine years!” An Lin retorted.
Everyone: “…”
“Brother An Lin, are you f*cking r.e.t.a.r.ded? Ninety-nine whole years? Don’t you know that you have to strike while the iron is hot?” Mo Hai was also incredulous.
“It doesn’t make sense. There is clearly mutual love, so why would you wait so long?” Lan Yan’s thoughts traveled down a strange direction, and she asked, “Could it be… that you fell under some sort of curse that prevents you from getting it up for a hundred years, which is why you decided to abstain for a hundred years?”
“Pfff…” An Lin almost threw up a mouthful of blood. “Please don’t curse me like that!”
He really was scared. After all… he had come extremely close to becoming a eunuch for a hundred years, and then even ten thousand years!
Su Wenjun and the Green Wood Imperial Family entourage sighed. They had mixed emotions about the unfolding situation. “It looks like the Four Nine Immortal Sect isn’t playing around. They’re such a powerful force; I wonder if this bodes well for the imperial family…”
“There’s a simple solution to this! We can get An Lin to marry Yun Le, and all will be well!” Su Xin’s eyes lit up as he suggested.
Su Wenjun rolled his eyes at Su Xin. “Are you even her real brother?!”
Soon after that, there was another loud report. “The representatives from the Mythological Beast Sect, Bai Xian and his entourage, are here!”
More commotion erupted as soon as everyone heard this.
Even Bai Xian, who was one of the Three Immortal Beast Overlords, was here! This was a ma.s.sive event!
“Father! Mother!” Da Bai pounced on Bai Xian and Chun excitedly before s...o...b..ring his tongue all over their faces.
Splat!
Da Bai was bashed into the ground by a palm from Bai Xian.
“Restrain yourself! There are so many people around, woof!” Bai Xian snapped.
An Lin also made his way over to welcome the Mythological Beast Sect representatives.
However, their disparity in species made it a little difficult for him to tell who was who since all the dogs before him looked a lot like Da Bai…
After an arduous process of identification, he finally figured out who was who between Da Bai’s parents, and Da Bai’s girlfriend, Qing Hua.
“Da Bai, why don’t you go lick Qing Hua?” An Lin encouraged.
Qing Hua blushed upon hearing this.
Da Bai chuckled coldly. “You want to swindle me into mounting Qing Hua? No chance!”
Splat!
Da Bai was bashed into the ground by another slap from Bai Xian.
“As a male dog, you should face reality and marry a b*tch with whom you’ll build a life together! Don’t hold on to unrealistic dreams!” Bai Xian warned in the voice of someone who had been there and done that.
He then turned to An Lin before speaking in an earnest voice, “An Lin, it’s all thanks to you that my child was able to progress so quickly.
“Therefore, I hereby give Da Bai permission to teach anything he would like to the disciples of the Fourth Nine Immortal Sect. He’s not powerful enough to learn all the core cultivation methods anyway, so I don’t need to place any restrictions on him.”
An Lin: “…”
“Dad, how could you say that? Woof!” Da Bai’s expression was full of grief and indignation.
Bai Xian’s words created another ma.s.sive stir.
It was quite clear that the Mythological Beast Sect had also given the Four Nine Immortal Sect permission to teach their cultivation methods!
Thus the status of the Four Nine Immortal Sect was elevated further in everyone’s mind.
However, this wasn’t the extent of it.
Very soon, the representatives from the Ten-Thousand Spirits Immortal Sect had also arrived.
The person leading the entourage was one of the Peak Leaders, Bu Guzhou of the Earth Spirit Peak.
He was a middle-aged man with dark skin, and An Lin had some recollection of him. He had fought during that battle against the snow maidens, and An Lin could remember that he was quite a powerful cultivator.
Bu Guzhou delivered Sect Leader Xuanyuan Lun’s instructions to Xuanyuan Cheng, which stated that he could teach any cultivation methods that he saw fit, and he would leave everything to Xuanyuan Cheng’s discretion.
This was a great show of trust toward Xuanyuan Cheng. It was basically telling him that he could teach whatever cultivation method he wanted, however way he wanted.
All the sect representatives who were getting a bit skeptical of the Four Nine Immortal Sect had completely abandoned their suspicions.
Some of the cultivators were even considering whether they could deviate from their sect and become a disciple of the Four Nine Immortal Sect, which appeared to possess boundless potential!
“Hey! Have you all noticed that some of the lords of the Four Nine Immortal Sect Pavilions are very important members of the four great sects! Is there some sort of under the table deal going on here?”
“Those are some terrifying connections!”
“Representatives of three of the four great sects have arrived. Do you think the Heavenly Sword Sect will also come?”
“Gaps… the four great sects all here at once? Could it be that their promotions were true?!”
Just as everyone was engaged in heated discussions, another loud announcement sounded.
“The representatives of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Sect Leader Liu Mingxuan and his entourage, have arrived!”
This announcement created the biggest stir yet!
