[Meng Xing's Favorability towards you has increased.]
[Current Favorability: 1-Stars]
Tian Yongheng was stunned for a moment as a system notification suddenly appeared in front of him.
Hm? Why did his Favorability suddenly increase?
He thought for a moment before quickly regaining his composure, and scanned the area within the range of his Divine Sense.
His Divine Sense's range covered up all of the Sword Seeking Sect, and the identity of each person in this range appeared in front of him. He was far stronger than a cultivator who had just reached the Acquired Realm, so his probing was not detected by anyone, including Cui Ming.
By the time he and Meng Xing arrived at the main hall, he had already checked the Cultivation of the strongest person in his Divine Sense's range.
[Cui Ming: First Stage of Acquired Realm.
Sect Master of the Sword Seeking Sect.]
He was relieved to find that no one was stronger than Cui Ming around the Sect, at least for the time being. Although there were quite a few Ninth Stage Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators aside from the Great Elders, they were all guests from weak forces and would not deliberately provoke anyone.
Even if they did, he was confident in dealing with all of them. His strength long exceeded the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Soon, they entered the main hall, immediately catching the attention of all the people present there. They were all Great Elders of the Sword Seeking Sect, with Cui Ming sitting cross-legged on a higher platform on a meditation cushion.
All of them were shocked by Tian Yongheng's appearance, in a trance.
Too handsome!
That was the only thing in their mind. Cui Ming quickly snapped out of it and smiled, greeting Tian Yongheng.
"Fellow Daoist, you must be the Master of Eternal Peak. I'm Cui Ming, The Sect Master of Sword Seeking Sect." He introduced himself politely.
He was cautious when talking. He had already seen through Tian Yongheng's Cultivation. He could sense that he was at the Ninth Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm, yet his presence and the aura that emanated from him gave Cui Ming an inexplicable feeling that he was far stronger than him!
Moreover, it was still not determined whether he did not have any great force behind him or if he had any ulterior motives.
[Cui Ming's Favorability towards you has increased.]
[Current Favorability: 1.5 Stars]
Tian Yongheng ignored the System notifications in front of him.
However, the Great Elders were shocked by Cui Ming's unusual behavior and immediately came out of the trance.
Why is the Sect Master so polite to him!?
They couldn't sense Tian Yongheng's Cultivation either, and could only guess that he was really extraordinary.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoists. I'm the Founder and Master of Eternal Peak, Tian Yongheng." He cupped his fists and introduced himself, with the same indifferent and calm expression as always.
His temperament awed all the people present.
He can maintain his composure in front of so many experts and even a Acquired Realm Powerhouse!
He's definitely not simple!
However, what surprised them even more was the fact that his surname was 'Tian'. Cui Ming was also moved, and couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist, are you perhaps a Descendant of the Tian..."
But before he could finish, Tian Yongheng shook his head and replied sternly, "No, Fellow Daoist, I don't have any connections with the Great Tian Immortal Family."
Cui Ming immediately stopped probing any further. Everyone had their own secrets that could not be shared. And he couldn't understand why would the Tian Family even send someone as talented as Tian Yongheng to such a remote Qingyun Region.
He sent a Voice Transmission to the Great Elders using his Divine Sense and consulted them about this, and decided to temporarily suppress the thoughts of Tian Yongheng having ulterior motives.
Cui Ming looked at him meaningfully and spoke, "Fellow Daoist, I'm sure you must've understood why i wanted to meet with you, So I won't beat around the bush. The Sword Seeking Sect would like to form an alliance with the Eternal Peak."
Hearing this, all the Great Elders turned to look at Tian Yongheng.
He contemplated for a bit, and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, my Eternal Peak is a newly established force, so it doesn't hold any power right now. There is no one other than me in the Eternal Peak. I'm sure you must've also known this too."
Cui Ming nodded, "Yes, that is why my Sword Seeking Sect will provide the Eternal Peak both resources and Disciples, helping Eternal Peak to gain a foothold and position in the outside world."
He really came prepared!
Tian Yongheng was quite surprised by Cui Ming's words. There was no need to deny his kindness and generosity, only an idiot would deny it.
On the other hand, Cui Ming offered all these because he wanted to get Tian Yongheng on his side and not offend him. In his opinion, the other party had a mysterious background, powerful talent and great Providence. It would not be wise to offend such an existence.
"Then, I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Cui." He said, causing the Great Elders and Cui Ming to be pleasantly surprised.
[Cui Ming's Favorability towards you has increased.]
[Current Favorability: 2-Stars]
[Meng Xing's Favorability towards you has increased]
[Current Favorability: 2.5 Stars]
[Ding Hui's Favorability towards you has increased]
[Current Favorability: 2 Stars...]
Tian Yongheng received many of these increased Favorability notifications, but not one of them reached 3-Stars, which disappointed him quite a bit.
Still, it was reasonable for the Favorability of these people to not increase much, after all, they had lived for centuries and knew about the treacherous world more than him. It was already a big deal that they even trusted a complete stranger with a mysterious background such as Tian Yongheng.
Even Jia Changxun and Feng Zhen's Favorability towards him did not exceed 5-Stars.
Putting aside all these thoughts, he talked with the Great Elders and Cui Ming for some time before Meng Xing took him to his guest courtyard to rest before the banquet officially began.
...
6 Months Later.
Yan Immortal Dynasty.
Yan Jingfei and Yan Guo set off for the Sword Seeking Sect alongside some Core Disciples of the Yan Immortal Dynasty's 3 Sects.
Each Sect sent 2 Core Disciples. So in total, there were 6 of them, with 3 at the Ninth Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm and other 3 at the First Stage of Acquired Realm!
After all, the 3 Sects were accustomed to showing off their might as the strongest force in a hundred thousand miles.
Yan Jingfei and Yan Guo could only follow these Disciples from behind, as they were weaker than them.
Yan Jingfei, however, did not pay attention to such small matters as she was thinking about the next chain of events that will occur.
According to her estimations, she had 200 years left till the Great foe of the Yan Immortal Dynasty emerged. She had to reach the Innate Realm by then, which would've proven to be an extremely difficult task for any other Foundation Establishment Realm Ninth Stage Cultivator, but she was different.
She had the special inheritance of her past life when she was at the Immortal Ascension Realm!
She dispersed all these thoughts as they would happen in the future.
They quickly flew on their Flying Swords and arrived at the Sword Seeking Sect in less than a day.
...
At the same time, at Sword Seeking Sect.
A system notification suddenly appeared in front of Tian Yongheng.
[Ding! A Chosen One has been detected in the System's range!]
