Chapter 780: Chapter 91: We Pay Our Respects to Alliance Leader Zhou!

Meanwhile, in the Sea Suppression Hall!

Nearly a hundred cultivators gathered together, all of whom were representatives of the Core Formation influences in the Eastern Wilderness.

There were sect elders, such as from the Dongyang Sect, whose Grand Elder Master Dongping was present. There were also influences founded by Loose Cultivators after they achieved Core Formation, included within the scope of the alliance meeting.

"Master Xingqiu, you’re here too!"

The speaker, wearing a blue and green Dao robe, was as handsome as jade, with a long beard flowing, exuding extraordinary demeanor. He was none other than the Grand Elder of Jade Spring Valley, Master Yuyuan.

Jade Spring Valley had been an ally of Tianhan City for a millennium, always in solidarity, advancing and retreating together!

Back then, when Zhou Xun took the position of Grand Elder of Tianhan City, it was this ’Master Yuyuan’ who responded. (Volume Four, Chapter 60)

This alliance meeting organized by Zhou Xun was also first supported by Jade Spring Valley.

"So it’s Daoist Brother Yuyuan, it’s been a while!" Master Xingqiu smiled slightly.

Since True Monarch Xingyue advanced to Nascent Soul, his Celestial Star Sect joined under Wangchuan Lake, voluntarily becoming a subordinate sect.

He himself had taken over True Monarch Xingyue’s position, handling the affairs of the Celestial Star Sect.

"Since True Monarch Wangchuan organized the meeting, our Jade Spring Valley will naturally fully support it!" Master Yuyuan said with a light smile.

"Our Celestial Star Sect will not fall behind others, whether in terms of personnel or resources, we will fully support!"

From True Monarch Xingyue, he already knew the theme of this alliance meeting, so he was already prepared.

At this moment, a thin old man walked over, cupping his hands to Master Yuyuan and Master Xingqiu:

"Two Daoist friends, I just searched around, and here you are!"

The old man was the Grand Elder of the Divine Night Sect, Master Qianye.

Now, a hundred years later, he also successfully broke through to the late stage of Core Formation.

Since Zhou Xun broke through to Nascent Soul, the Divine Night Sect also had to yield and annually tribute many Treasures of Heaven and Earth to Tianhan City.

"So it’s Brother Qianye, it’s been decades, congratulations on advancing to the late-stage Core Formation!" Master Yuyuan cupped his hands in congratulations.

"It was just a breakthrough aided by the Spiritual Energy Recovery, nowhere near compared to Daoist Brother Yuyuan, who probably already has the qualification to impact Nascent Soul!" Master Qianye said enviously.

"Nascent Soul is not so easily achieved. Our Eastern Wilderness has been dormant for long, already without the Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects for breakthroughs,

solely relying on oneself, the chances are extremely slim!" Master Yuyuan shook his head.

"By the way, Daoist Brother, you’re pretty familiar with True Monarch Zhou and the others, do you know why the True Monarch has summoned us this time?"

"You’ll find out soon enough!" Master Yuyuan smiled mysteriously, not revealing it.

As people were chatting, a chant rang out,

"True Monarch Wangchuan arrives!"

The crowd instantly quieted,

Then, from the back of the hall, four figures walked out directly, it was Zhou Xun and True Monarch Tianci among others.

Upon seeing Zhou Xun’s figure, everyone paid their respects, saying in unison:

"We pay our respects to True Monarch Wangchuan!"

"No need for formalities!" Zhou Xun waved his hand, a gentle uplifting force slowly raising everyone up.

Feeling this vast power, everyone’s heart involuntarily tightened, becoming even more respectful.

’Truly a Nascent Soul Cultivator, this depth of mana is at least ten times ours!’

Then Zhou Xun came to the head of the hall, where four chairs were set side by side, specially for the four Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

Zhou Xun sat in the central position, True Monarch Tianci sat next to him,

while True Monarch Iron Mountain and True Monarch Xingyue sat on either side.

Clearing his throat lightly, everyone’s eyes focused on Zhou Xun as he slowly began to speak:

"Thank you all for honoring me with your presence, traveling here!" Zhou Xun glanced at everyone,

then turned his gaze to True Monarch Tianci beside him, starting to introduce:

"The person beside me, perhaps many here do not recognize!"

After a hundred years, many of the older generation of cultivators had passed on, and a new generation had risen,

"He was the Eastern Wilderness’s Number One Cultivator back then—Master Tianci, now advanced to Nascent Soul and should be addressed as True Monarch!"

With these words, everyone was amazed,

Many of them had grown up listening to the legends of True Monarch Tianci,

Yet among the consensus of the people, True Monarch Tianci had already passed away a hundred years ago, why is he appearing here now, and furthermore became a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

’Could it be that like True Monarch Wangchuan, he left the Eastern Wilderness, found an opportunity to break through to Nascent Soul Formation, and achieved advancement!’

Amidst the crowd’s surprise and restlessness,

Zhou Xun slowly spoke:

"You’re right, True Monarch Tianci had left the Eastern Wilderness back then, found the opportunity to break through, and subsequently achieved Nascent Soul True Monarch!"

"Not only him, True Monarch Iron Mountain did the same!" He said, looking toward Hu Tieshan on the far right.

"The two True Monarchs heard of the Ghostly Mist outbreak in the Eastern Wilderness, so they returned with the intent to work together to deal with it!"

At this point, Zhou Xun paused:

"Additionally, the reason I’ve gathered you all here is also because of the Ghostly Mist!"

On hearing this, quite a few people’s expressions changed subtly.

Those who had experienced the might of the Ghostly Mist knew the risks in dealing with it, as it came with the risk of falling.

Yet some others had expressions of delight, like Master Dongping.

These were the ones whose influences were near the seventeen locations still affected by the Ghostly Mist, having been tormented beyond endurance by it.

They had intended to invite Zhou Xun to refine a Tier Four Array, but couldn’t gather enough materials,

Trying to stop the mist from spreading, they lacked the strength needed,

only able to watch helplessly as the mist continued to spread until it engulfed their sect gates.
