Meanwhile.
At the heart of the Cold Spirit Small Realm, halfway up Cold Spirit Small Mountain, a Fifth Grade Peak Spirit Land, inside the Teleportation Hall.
A powerful spatial fluctuation surged forth.
Ling Pengyun appeared.
"I've heard this senior was originally a cultivator of the Tide Moon Immortal Sect in the Cold Spirit Small Realm. But his aptitude was exceptional, and he reached Spirit Transformation Full Completion at a young age. That caught the Ice Profound Lineage's eye, and they recruited him as a Guest Elder. He's spent the past several decades cultivating in seclusion at their headquarters. I wonder how far his cultivation has advanced?"
"Besides, he's probably returned to the Cold Spirit Small Realm to visit his former teachers at the Tide Moon Immortal Sect. With his current status and the resources within his reach, this realm simply can't compare. Under ordinary circumstances, he'd never set foot here."

Several disciples of the Ice Profound Lineage under the Frost Immortal Sect, who were stationed here year-round, were startled by the sight and could not help speculating to themselves.
Besides, Ling Pengyun's recruitment as a Guest Elder of the Ice Profound Lineage was no secret.
And ever since then, the Ice Profound Lineage had honored its earlier agreement with Ling Pengyun by vigorously supporting the Tide Moon Immortal Sect, a spirit-plant sect in the Cold Spirit Small Realm. It had drawn considerable attention.
As a result, most people knew about it, whether they were disciples the Ice Profound Lineage had stationed at the Teleportation Hall years ago or native cultivators of the Cold Spirit Small Realm.
The disciples guarding the Teleportation Hall hurriedly bowed, awed by Ling Pengyun's status as an Ice Profound Lineage Guest Elder and by his cultivation.
"Greetings, Guest Elder Ling..."
"No need for ceremony."
