The Great Sun Heavenly Pool shrank its form and traveled through the skies of the Magic Vine Minor Realm, inspecting the earth and the living beings of the Minor World that the Immortal Sect had ruled for over a thousand years.
"Greetings, Great Sun Heavenly Monarch!"
"Congratulations on your victorious return from the thousand-year war, laying the foundation for the Immortal Sect's ten-thousand-year legacy!"
Within the Solar Abyss, a great crowd of Immortal Sect Nascent Soul Cultivators and Minor World Deity Transformation Cultivators performed grand rites of obeisance.
Every one of them was beaming with delight. The Immortal Sect's younger generation looked upon him with worship and reverence, as though they were gazing at living history, an ancient fossil.
This was the Immortal Sect's hero of the present age.
A hero of the present age qualified to be inscribed in history books and occupy several pages!
The Minor World Deity Transformation Cultivators, meanwhile, were filled with deep awe, not daring to let the slightest stray thought arise in their hearts.
Deity Transformation Cultivators with high moral character, such as Hua Teng and Huo Bao San, had no distracting thoughts at all. Even as they offered their excited congratulations, expectant gazes turned upward one after another, and some thought within their hearts suddenly blazed hot.
"Please rise, everyone."
"The victory in this war did not belong to me, but to the hundreds of millions of citizens as a whole. Do not place too much focus on any individual in the war."
Jiang Ding laughed heartily, then repeatedly reminded them.
The civil officials and military commanders of the many Minor Worlds below knew that the Great Sun Heavenly Monarch disliked cumbersome formalities, so they quickly straightened up.
Gift boxes opened automatically, flying before every Nascent Soul True Lord and Deity Transformation Cultivator.
