Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1257 - 545: The Highest Ceremony

The few patrolling disciples nearly knelt down!

Before the token, they felt the pressure akin to that of several Golden Core Realm cultivators from "Feiyun Sect"!

"We were unaware of Vice Sect Leader Li’s esteemed arrival; please forgive us!"

The young man’s face changed dramatically, hurriedly sheathing his sword to salute: "I will report immediately!"

He had naturally heard of the illustrious name of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," even knowing that an Elder of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" was stationed on "Shenxiao Island."

Thirty years ago, several prominent figures from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" crossed the seas to the East Sea, joined hands with their "Feiyun Sect" and other factions to rout Buddhist and Demon Sect forces, seizing control of the surrounding Sea Region.

However, it was his first time hearing of the name of the Vice Sect Leader of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect!"

This surely indicates that a distinguished figure from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" has arrived.

This made the members of their patrol team even more nervous; their attitude became extremely humble, not daring to show any hint of disdain.

As the voice fell, the sky in the distance suddenly lit up with nine cyan beams of light, like nine giant dragons rushing straight into the clouds, which were the welcoming signals of "Feiyun Sect."

Evidently, the "Celestial Patrol Ship" had arrived, and the Elders of "Feiyun Sect" had also detected the anomaly.

Upon seeing Li Yunjing standing on the deck demonstrating his Divine Techniques, the elders were further stunned and prepared to greet him with grand ceremony.

And the patrolling disciples saw the anomaly behind, each one’s expression turned serious, divided into two teams to stand on both sides of the "Celestial Patrol Ship," in a welcoming gesture, waiting for the "Feiyun Sect" distinguished figures to appear.

This wait lasted quite a while.

Behind Li Yunjing, Jin Shouyun and others became a bit impatient.

Yet seeing Li Yunjing remained motionless, they restrained their emotions, continuing to stand there honestly, displaying their elite demeanor in support of Li Yunjing.

Half an hour later, the sound of bells resonated from the horizon, twelve rainbow lights raced from the depths of "Feiyun Island," intertwining in the sky to form the massive "Twelve Star Palace Diagram."

At the Array Hub, a white-haired elder standing on a cyan jade Lotus Platform surrounded by cyan glow was the Grand Elder of "Feiyun Sect."

Behind the twelve Golden Core Realm elders were thirty-six True Disciples clad in silver armor, holding long spears engraved with runes, arranged into an array, their spear tips flashing with cold light corresponding with the sky’s "Twelve Star Palace Diagram."

"Vice Sect Leader Li of ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ has graced us with his presence; we apologize for our inability to greet you from afar!"

The Grand Elder’s voice was powerful, echoing through the skies.

As his voice faded, the eaves of all buildings on the island suddenly lit up with cyan light, transforming into thousands of streams of light gathering into a radiant Star River, stretching from the island’s heart to the cyan jade plaza in "Feiyun Sect’s" highest ritual, "Star River Phoenix."

"Thank you Elder Feng and fellow Daoists for welcoming from afar!"

Li Yunjing slightly nodded, walking calmly down the Star River, with the "Cyan Dragon" and "White Tiger" natural pressure circulating around him, the dragon roars and tiger growls echoing with the surrounding cyan light, exuding even more majesty.

Grand Elder Feng glanced over at Jin Shouyun and the others behind Li Yunjing, astonished secretly.

These Foundation Establishment cultivators could remain composed under the pressure of Golden Core powerhouses; "Shenxiao Dao Sect" indeed has profound foundation.

"Vice Sect Leader Li, please follow me; the Sect Leader has prepared a banquet in ’Feiyun Hall’ to welcome and cleanse the dust of your journey."

The Grand Elder respectfully made way, and the cyan jade Lotus Platform slowly descended, transforming into a resplendent Jade Tier extending towards the island’s magnificent palace.

Along the way, countless disciples of Feiyun Sect bowed to salute, chanting "Welcome to the distinguished guest," with waves of sound causing the surrounding clouds to churn.

Before the "Feiyun Hall," Feiyun Master personally led the Elders to await, among them was Li Yunjing’s old acquaintance, Wen Bin!

Seeing his old friend Li Yunjing arriving, Wen Bin was astounded!

Though not surprised by Li Yunjing’s breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm, he hadn’t expected that after years apart, Li Yunjing had become the Vice Sect Leader of "Shenxiao Dao Sect!"

Wen Bin knew well what this meant!

All were elites from major sects, competing to reach this position; the next step would be the Sect Leader Venerable!

Thinking that his good friend might one day become the ruler of a region on the Southern Heaven Continent, Wen Bin was thrilled to the point of tremors!

Like Wen Bin, those fortunate to have participated in the three factions’ magical combat on "Shenxiao Island" remembered who Li Yunjing was.

Years ago, he was a brilliant young talent already showcasing elite aptitude, etched in the minds of "Feiyun Sect’s" people, believing he would surely be one of the future leaders of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect."

Yet, who would have thought that after just thirty years, Li Yunjing would break through to the Golden Core Realm and become the Vice Sect Leader of "Shenxiao Dao Sect"?

In a sect as colossal as "Shenxiao Dao Sect," holding the position of Vice Sect Leader undoubtedly entails overcoming immense trials, competing fiercely with peers, achieving significant advantage, and stabilizing this position!

Is Li Yunjing truly this strong?

It left everyone in a daze.

Feiyun Master looked at the young man before him, his gaze filled with complexity.

"It’s the fortune of ’Feiyun Sect’ that Vice Sect Leader Li visits amidst such busyness!"

When Li Yunjing arrived before "Feiyun Hall," he returned to his normal state, stepped forward slowly, and saluted.

Saying this, Feiyun Master moved aside, gesturing an invitation for Li Yunjing to enter the hall.

As for Jin Shouyun and his entourage, a True Disciple of "Feiyun Sect" courteously escorted them to a side hall for rest.

After all, such a grand occasion is not something disciples like Jin Shouyun, who hold no status, should participate in.

"Hahaha! It’s been so long, yet Feiyun Master remains as splendid as ever; Li Yunjing pays his respects."

In terms of strength, Li Yunjing naturally wasn’t comparable, but his status was high enough to engage with Feiyun Master equally, without restraint.

"Haha! Seeing Fellow Daoist Li today, I realize what an unparalleled talent truly is! Please!"

Feiyun Master complimented, and walked alongside Li Yunjing towards "Feiyun Hall."
