The mountain gates reopened, and a saintly voice rang out.
In an instant, ten thousand golden rays spread across Shouyang Mountain, illuminating the mountains and rivers for trillions of miles.
A fine rain fell silently, nourishing all living things.
Within trillions of miles, plants surged wildly. Some ancient trees grew ever more vigorous, showing faint signs of developing sentience!
The plants bent toward Shouyang Mountain and the Eight Sceneries Palace, bowing in gratitude to the saint!
And it wasn't only the plants.
Within trillions of miles, every animal—birds, beasts, fish, and insects—greedily absorbed the fine rain. They all bowed toward Shouyang Mountain, giving thanks to the saint!
The holy sect had reopened, and its blessings spread across trillions of miles!
Some independent cultivators who had established caves near Shouyang Mountain now knelt toward it, giving thanks for the saint's grace. Some among them were even Golden Immortals!
Meanwhile, over the East Sea, amid the countless Immortal Dao realms, golden clouds gathered one after another. Ten thousand rays of light shone across the land, divine radiance spilled down, and lotuses bloomed in the air as their fragrance drifted for miles.
Within the auspicious clouds, immortal maidens played zithers, pavilions stood tall, and bells and tripods rang softly.
Where the flowers' fragrance spread, sea creatures leapt in competition. Wherever the immortal music reached, countless spiritual beings were enraptured.
The strange phenomenon still extended for trillions of miles. Countless sea creatures lowered their heads toward Biyou Palace and prostrated themselves.
They were giving thanks to the saint!
However, within trillions of miles around the Interception Sect in the East Sea, there were no other cultivators.
But whether around Shouyang Mountain or Biyou Palace, any living beings that received these blessings would become registered disciples of the respective sect if they later gained sentience
