When they arrived, everyone was shocked by the huge crowd. As far as the eye could see, there were people everywhere. Not only were there Asians, but also Caucasians and Africans.
All kinds of people gathered together, chattering away.
"That Yun Shan is really amazing! If only he could tell us his secret of ascending to a higher realm."
"How could he possibly share his cultivation methods with us? I just hope that after he ascends, he can open the passage between the two realms so that we later generations can also ascend."
"Yeah, yeah. He truly deserves to be the number one in the cultivation world. He will definitely ascend."
...
Everyone was extremely excited. He was the first person in five hundred years!
Whether they could ascend in the future depended on this day!
Yong Shanling's gaze fell on the high platform not far away. The platform was forty or fifty meters high, grand and imposing. Flashes of light streaked across it. It was a platform fortified by layers of defensive formations, built for Yun Shan to give a lecture to the crowd.
Yong Shanling and Hou Hua stood together and found a pavilion nearby to sit down. Mu Yijie followed them coldly and sat opposite them.
"Sister Hou Hua, this Yun Shan is really powerful. To reach the Tribulation Transcendence Period so quickly, he must have killed many demons and done a lot of good deeds." Yong Shanling's eyes sparkled with admiration as she looked at the high platform.
"To be the number one among us, he must have some skills. But what I'm most curious about is how he cultivated. I just hope he can show all cultivators a way and tell us his cultivation methods."
Hou Hua didn't comment much. She had never had much contact with Yun Shan and didn't know what to say about him.
Hearing that Hou Hua wanted her idol to reveal his cultivation methods, Yong Shanling pouted and said, "Whether he wants to make it public or not depends on him. After all, most cultivators are reluctant to disclose their cultivation methods. If he doesn't want to, we can't force him."
"Okay, okay, I know. I won't force him. I know he's your idol." Hou Hua quickly gave in.
Yong Shanling nodded in satisfaction. Suddenly, her expression changed. She quickly reached out and grabbed the hand on her shoulder, then twisted it hard.
"Ouch, it hurts! It hurts! Take it easy. Benefactor, it's me!" A somewhat frivolous male voice sounded.
Yong Shanling turned around and saw that it was Ye Lin.
She quickly let go and frowned, saying, "Who told you to pat my shoulder secretly? If we were in the wild, I might have disabled your hand."
Ye Lin rubbed his hand and smiled awkwardly. "I just wanted to give you a surprise. I forgot that you're a cultivator with high vigilance."
Ye Lin rolled his eyes and sat down beside Yong Shanling with a smile again. "Little benefactor, you're also here to watch Yun Shan ascend, right? Do you want to come with me? We have the best seats. You'll be closest to Yun Shan for sure."
"Really? Can I talk to Yun Shan then?" Yong Shanling immediately turned into a little fan girl, her voice becoming lighter.
Successfully attracting the benefactor's attention, Ye Lin grinned happily. "Of course you can. In a while, it will be the time for Elder Yun Shan to explain his cultivation methods. All cultivators can ask questions freely. The closer you are, the more likely he is to pick you. Benefactor, come on. Go to our Ye Family's seats."
"Let's go. Anyway, we're here to watch. Why not take the front seats?" Hou Hua also encouraged her, while secretly glancing at the person sitting opposite. As expected, his face darkened a lot. She couldn't help but snicker inside.
Let these two be jealous of each other!
"Then... okay. Well, do you want to tell your brother?" Yong Shanling glanced at the unresponsive person and, eager to see her idol, agreed.
"No need! I can decide such a small thing. Oh, right, Mr. Mu, do you want to come with us?" He turned to Mu Yijie and asked cautiously.
He was very grateful to the person who had also saved him, but for some reason, he was always a little afraid of him, as if he were facing his family's ancestors.
"Go." Mu Yijie replied tersely. After that, he ignored them and sat there looking at the people around, as if there was something attractive in the scenery.
Soon it was noon, 12 o'clock.
The people around became excited and rushed towards the high platform.
"Little benefactor, let's go too. Elder Yun Shan will be here soon."
The group followed Ye Lin to the front seats. Just as they sat down, they found that Ye Sen was sitting beside them.
Ye Sen nodded to them and then frowned, looking at the high platform again.
Yong Shanling didn't expect that the Ye Family attached so much importance to this grand event. She looked around and saw that the young masters of the aristocratic families were wearing special clothes and maintaining order. She understood immediately.
They must be afraid of something going wrong and angering Elder Yun Shan, which was why they looked so worried. They were really dedicated.
Yong Shanling thought to herself.
Soon, a figure flashed by. Before the crowd could react, a figure appeared on the high platform, wearing a black conical hat, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
"Look, it's Yun Shan. He has really reached the peak of the Tribulation Transcendence Period."
"Yun Shan! Can you tell us how you cultivated to the Tribulation Transcendence Period?"
"Yun Shan! Yun Shan! Yun Shan!"
...
As soon as Yun Shan appeared, everyone around became excited. The usually cold and reserved cultivators went crazy, just like the audience at a concert.
Many cultivators even flew up, trying to rush towards Yun Shan.
Yun Shan slightly raised his hand and pressed down. Immediately, it became quiet around. Everyone stared at him eagerly.
Yun Shan reached out and took off his conical hat. An old man with gray hair, a ruddy complexion and a beard appeared.
"Everyone, don't be impatient. I will answer all your questions one by one. I was just lucky enough to be one step ahead of you on the path of cultivation. It's all thanks to the blessing of the heavens."
However, Yong Shanling couldn't hear what he was saying on the platform. She just stared at the man on it in shock. The man looked exactly like her master.
It was clearly Zhou Chengzi, her master.
And Mu Yijie beside her was no less shocked. Soon, Mu Yijie calmed down. There was a look of realization in his eyes. He remembered.
