The gathering included prominent cultivators from the Liang, Yun, and Yan nations.
As midday approached, a powerful earthy yellow sword light suddenly streaked across the sky towards Mount Mystic Tai. Its formidable aura was beyond anything a Golden Core cultivator could emanate, shocking all the cultivators already at Mount Mystic Tai.
Who could this mighty figure be? A sense of solemnity spread among everyone.
At that moment, two figures appeared before the crowd. They were Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, the protagonists of this state-establishing ceremony.
They watched the approaching sword light with a hint of a smile. Both flew up to greet the light, clasping their fists from afar, "So it is Daoist Earth Walker. You must be travel-worn. We apologize for coming out to receive you sooner."
"Hahaha!"
A hearty laugh echoed in the air.
