Zhu Zixuan opened the lecture platform and delivered his discourse as scheduled.

The Eternal Immortal Sect was packed with people, the sky was connected to the sky, and the ground to the ground, everywhere was filled with human figures. Flying ships and various flying artifacts and spirit beasts hovered in the sky, alongside those using sword flight and sky-shooting steps. On the ground, every place where people could stand was filled to the brim.

This was an enormous pressure for the Eternal Immortal Sect. Yet, they couldn't prevent anyone from attending the lecture. Zhu Zixuan, who was delivering the discourse, never turned anyone away, so how could the Eternal Immortal Sect have the nerve to do so?

Moreover, this was the sect's golden fortune, and they should endure such trials.

Representatives from various major powers, along with their sect leaders and key figures, stood together in the aerial pavilion atop the Eternal Immortal Peak. During the opening ceremony, it was this one aerial pavilion, grand and imposing.

Enlightenment Peak had been vacated, and no one dared to disturb it.

At the peak, by the edge of a cliff, Zhu Zixuan sat cross-legged in midair. The surrounding environment was quite ordinary, at least, in everyone's imagination, it seemed somewhat unbefitting of the identity of a "Wangxian Pavilion's disciple," lacking an overwhelming aura and boundless Daoist intent.

He just sat there, no different from an ordinary person.

He Youyi approached from behind, "A sea of people."

"Listening to the Tao..." Zhu Zixuan smiled, "These people are merely joining the fun. It's not really time for them to listen."

"Even a scrap of Taoist insight is good to gain. Don't underestimate these people, you never know when one might become someone significant." He Youyi said lightheartedly, glancing at the Eternal Immortal Sect, "This Eternal Immortal Sect, its momentum is indeed remarkable."

"Hmm." Zhu Zixuan, though proud, admitted, "It's been a long time since I've seen such a sight. Although the Eternal Immortal Sect is not considered a major sect, its momentum surpasses many larger ones."

"Thanks to that Purple Qi Wutong." He Youyi laughed.

Zhu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, "Scholar, are you deliberately picking a fight?"

"Hehe. I heard you got a severe scolding at White Jade Capital."

"Just some old fogeys with one foot in the grave, let them scold."

He Youyi shook his head, "You really dare to speak like that. Aren't you afraid they might hear you?"

"Then let them hear." Zhu Zixuan shrugged it off.

"By the way, there's a rumor that White Jade Capital is looking for a representative sect on Little South Continent, is it true?"

"Nothing to hide. Little South Continent started late, but it's still one of the Nineteen Continents of the World. Having a flaw means the lifeline is unstable; naturally, it needs to be strengthened. After much consideration, the only one qualified is the Eternal Immortal Sect. But whether they can bear it or not remains to be seen. If not, we'll just establish a new one."

He Youyi teased, "What, the Demon Continent isn't one of the nineteen?"

Zhu Zixuan forced a smile, "Then why don't you help us persuade those bastards in the Demon Continent? Aren't you known for your inclusive teaching, preaching equality... chanting it every day, so loudly."

"Tend to one's own affairs."

"Tsk tsk. You scholars always talk about caring for the world and being benevolent to all beings, but when it comes to practicalities, you only mind your own business."

He Youyi simply smiled without responding.

Zhu Zixuan counted the time, selecting a good moment to open the lecture platform.

"Oh, right, scholar, help me with something."

"What is it?"

"Find a way to get Fan Wubing to Changsheng Continent."

He Youyi chuckled, "Have your eyes on him?"

"I hardly fancy him. How could I admire a mere child? But the elders at Wangxian Pavilion are interested in him, and want to give him a chance, add some flair to the trials."

"Flair." He Youyi slightly narrowed his eyes, scanning around but not seeing Fan Wubing anywhere, "He's not one to be used as flair."

"Why bother, there's no shortage of people like him in this world."

"Your eyes are already on your forehead."

"In any case, just help me with this."

He Youyi shook his head, "No. I won't help you manipulate someone else's life. The path he chooses should be his own decision. If he wishes to stay in Little South Continent his whole life, let him stay. If he wants to venture out, let him venture. Whether he seeks fame or personal contentment, it should all be his own choice."

"Sigh..." Zhu Zixuan was rather helpless, "You really are stubborn, with a scholarly air of poverty all over you. Don't think I don't know, you'd love him to venture to Changsheng Continent, yet you speak such words."

"You're not wrong. But I won't impose my personal expectations on others."

"That's why you'll never get into Wenxin Heaven. You're too proper. But where can proper people find a seat in Wenxin Heaven?"

"No need to say more, I know well enough. You better not force him either." He Youyi remained calm, "If you truly wish for him, then invite him sincerely."

"Tsk."

He Youyi knew clearly that Zhu Zixuan would never invite him; he'd rather do nothing than bow to someone weaker than himself.

...

"Have Wubing and Changkong returned?" Mei Jinqiu anxiously asked Qi Ming.

The opening is just about to start, yet the two are nowhere to be seen.

Qi Ming was also worried, "Logically, they only needed to pay some money. It shouldn't take this long; Yunyong City isn't far. With their cultivation, it shouldn't even take half a day to make a roundtrip."

Lin Xing suggested, "Treasure Heart Pavilion has many entertainment options, could they have..."

Indeed, there were many options.

Gambling, shows, divine pity, rarities...

Mei Jinqiu glared, "How could they be such idle wastrels!"

Lin Xing laughed dryly, "Indeed."

Mei Jinqiu's eyes narrowed, "Yunyong City is close to Luofu Mountain and Green Blade Sect, could they have run into trouble?"
