Dharma Assembly

November.

Heaven sent down auspicious snow.

Outside Changluo, a huge ritual altar had already been erected.

Following Zhong Shenxiu's instructions, the altar had been built in the style of the Roman Colosseum. Tier upon tier of cloud platforms spread outward in concentric circles, with the inner platforms higher than the outer ones.

On the day the Dharma Assembly opened, streaks of flowing light descended from the heavens one after another, landing upon their corresponding cloud platforms and revealing one cultivator after another.

Countless Immortal Birds, streaks of light, and magic treasures... Immortals in the eyes of ordinary mortals used all kinds of escape arts to take their seats. It was an utterly unforgettable sight for the residents of Changluo.

Then, accompanied by a sonorous announcement of names, the leaders of the truly weighty great sects began to enter.

"Yingzhou Sea Pavilion and Penglai Sword Sect's sect leaders have arrived!"

These two were representatives and leading figures among the Rogue Cultivator sects. With True Lords of the Dharma Body guarding them, they had also leaned toward the Imperial Court from the very beginning.

Moreover, the deterrence Zhong Shenxiu had displayed when he was still a Dharma Body, when he destroyed Square Inch Spirit Mountain, remained fresh. It could be said that these two sects were among the most enthusiastic of the great sects in responding.

"Baoxiang Arhat of Tuomi Temple, Master Xiaoyuan of Vajra Temple... have arrived!"

Within the void, Heavenly Flowers Falling filled the air, while Golden Lotuses Springing from the Earth emerged.

The Dharma images of two arhats retracted their divine radiance and transformed into two utterly ordinary-looking bald monks, seated cross-legged upon lotus platforms. Countless novice monks, Martial Monks, and scholarly monks served them at their sides.

Layer after layer of radiance descended, brilliant as the Milky Way
