Chapter 1793: The Peace Immortal Sect
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
A short while later, an extremely grand and majestic sect appeared before everyone’s eyes.
The ma.s.sive, ornate pillars extending all the way into the clouds and the golden “Peace” plaque hanging in above the gate presented quite a spectacular sight to behold.
“Hurry! The sect leader is back!”
“Elder Tian Lingling has also returned!”
The disciples standing guard by the gate immediately notified everyone within the sect upon seeing their sect leader flying toward the sect atop his sword.
Bang bang bang…
Streaks of vibrant light shot into the sky, forming a few large words.
Welcome back, Sect Leader!
At the same time, beautiful immortal music reverberated through the mountains.
“Our gates are always open, and we await you with open arms… Our bond was forged through cultivating together, and you will fall in love with this place. There is no need for formalities here. Regardless of where you have come from, we welcome you… Peace welcomes you, and will cater for your visit…”
“Er…” An Lin was a little dumbstruck by these lyrics.
An awkward expression appeared on An Mingchuan’s face, and he heaved a faint sigh. “I told them not to do this, yet they still insist on welcoming me like this every time…”
An Lin was in the exact same situation, and he nodded with a sympathetic expression. “That’s alright, at least it shows that everyone cares.”
There are over three thousand members of the Peace Sect, among which were over twenty Spirit Nurturing Stage powerful beings, four Soul Formation Stage Earth Immortals, including Tian Lingling and An Mingchuan, as well as even a Return to Void Stage mighty figure.
Of course, this was not the first Return to Void Stage mighty figure on Earth, You Mu.
Instead, this was a horned dragon that resided deep within the Kunlun Mountain ranges by the name of Ao Leiba.
Back when Ao Leiba was about to transcend his tribulation to the Return to Void Stage, he required many rare and exotic medicines to prepare his body. He was very poor and simply could not afford these, so he went to the filthy rich An Mingchuan.
An Mingchuan just so happened to have all of those medicines and provided them to Ao Leiba free of charge.
Ao Leiba was very touched by this kind gesture, and after transcending his tribulation to the Return to Void Stage, he became the grand elder of the Peace Immortal Sect to repay An Mingchuan.
There were only five Return to Void Stage mighty figures across the entire world, one in the Pacific Ocean, one in the American Alliance, one in the European Alliance, and two in the Hua Alliance. One of those two was Ao Leiba of the Peace Immortal Sect, and he had pretty much been bought using medicines.
Ao Leiba wore a set of golden robes and stood with his dragon horns raised tall and proud in front of the sect, awaiting the return of An Mingchuan.
He had thought that he had already reached the pinnacle of this world.
However, the terrifying auras approaching him struck fear deep into his heart.
There was a man standing atop wind flame wheels with eyes as dazzling as the sun…
Was that the legendary Ne Zha?
And there was a man who was riding on a large, white dog. Just the aura from that dog alone was more powerful than his. Could that be…
Ao Leiba drew a sharp intake of breath and immediately rushed over with a respectful expression.
“Junior Ao Leiba pays his respects to Sect Leader An Mingchuan, Senior An Lin, and Senior Ne Zha!”
“There’s no need for such formalities, Elder Ao.” An Mingchuan immediately hurried over to help Ao Leiba to his feet.
An Lin nodded with a smile at the sight of Ao Leiba. “Who would have thought that there would be dragons of the Ao family here on Earth…”
An Lin had encountered many dragons and could sense the Ao family’s bloodline in Ao Leiba’s body. Theoretically speaking, he was related by blood to Xu Xiaolan.
“I’ve actually been living in and cultivating in the Kunlun Mountain ranges ever since I can recall. I have no ties with the Ao family Dragon Tribe of the Kingdom of the Nine States, and I have no interest in them either…” Ao Leiba replied.
An Lin appreciated Ao Leiba’s honesty and felt like this was quite a good dragon. Thus, he pulled out a Dragon Tribe mantra from his storage ring and tossed it to Ao Leiba.
“This might help you in your cultivation, and don’t worry, it has nothing to do with the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas. My disciple wrote this, and if you cultivate according to it, it can present a path of progression for you to the Dao Integration Stage.”
“This…” Ao Leiba caught the mundane-looking book An Lin had thrown at him, and his body trembled as if he had been struck by lightning. This was essentially an inheritance, and a Dao Integration Stage inheritance at that! This was most definitely a supreme-grade inheritance on Earth!
But now, An Lin was giving something so important to him for free?
“I, Ao Leiba, hereby vow that I will protect the Peace Immortal Sect with my life!” Ao Leiba half-knelt to the ground and bowed to An Mingchuan and An Lin.
An Lin nodded with a satisfied expression. It was always a pleasure to deal with smart people.
Tian Lingling was practically drooling. “Dao Integration Stage inheritance… How about I try and cultivate that Dragon Tribe cultivation method and renounce my humanity…”
An Lin pinched her soft cheeks with a smile. “Jumping between cultivation methods is a cardinal sin in cultivation. If you end up falling into Qi Deviation as a result, even I won’t be able to save you.”
Tian Lingling glared at An Lin and was just about to resist when An Lin’s next sentence had her smiling like a sweet, obedient little girl.
“When the time comes, I can give you a cultivation method that’s suitable for you, how about that?” An Lin proposed.
“Fake Daoist Priest is the best!” Tian Lingling smiled sweetly and was completely unbothered by the fact that her cheeks were still being pinched.
Ne Zha buried his face into his palm upon seeing this. “What a materialistic woman…”
Immediately afterward, the Peace Immortal Sect held a large conference with An Lin delivering an address.
This created a ma.s.sive stir across the entire sect.
Everyone arrived on the scene and stared up at the white-robed man onstage with scorching light in their eyes.
They knew exactly who this man was. He was the biggest backer the Peace Immortal Sect had! This was a legendary man who had reached the pinnacle of cultivation at an extremely young age!
An Lin was quite accustomed to being scrutinized by scorching, frenetic eyes and delivered a smooth, flowing speech.
In any case, everything he said was correct as they were coming out of his mouth.
The disciples applauded with all their might following his address, and all of them had the same thought in their hearts, Holy s.h.i.+t! I’ve finally seen An Lin!
After a stirring speech, the sun was gradually beginning to set below the horizon.
The moon and stars appeared in the sky.
An Lin, Da Bai, Tian Lingling, and Ne Zha set off for Dongfang Xue’s concert.
At the concert venue.
This was the most prestigious stage in the Hua Nation.
The venue could house over three hundred thousand spectators.
The venue was known as the Starlight Stadium, and it was suspended in the sky and shaped like a rainbow.
The circular stage at the most core position was like a bright jewel emanating a faint light and entrancing the audience.
There was still an hour until the commencement of the concert, but the Starlight Stadium was already packed to the rafters.
Dongfang Xue’s singing voice had allowed her to retain her position as the number one singer globally for over a hundred years, and her popularity was only rising. Some of her rivals had already been laid to rest in coffins, but she was still at the height of her popularity.
Dongfang Xue had an almost monopolistic hold over the music industry, and three hundred thousand tickets sold out in a flas.h.!.+
An Lin and the others all received front row tickets and arrived at the Starlight Stadium.
