He was a genuine early-stage Heavenly Immortal powerhouse.
In any other sect or faction, Daoist Cheng Tian would have been the sect master; within a nation, he would have been the sovereign.
However, the Sacred Hall was in reality an extremely loosely structured organization, with no true master of the Sacred Hall.
Or rather, the master of the Sacred Hall was Immortal Dao Mountain itself.
And as the Sacred Hall's highest-ranking and most powerful figure, Daoist Cheng Tian had a unique title.
Celestial Master.
This title belonged to every Academy Instructor of Heaven Academy.
Other than presiding over Heaven Academy, the Celestial Master had no other substantive obligations or responsibilities.
It was merely that, with the greatest strength and highest status, the Celestial Master could generally decide many of the Sacred Hall's affairs.
Previously, aside from Fairy Qing Xia, none of them had appeared.
Yet the moment they appeared now, the three of Heaven, Earth, and Sea, along with all the other Academy Instructors, had shown themselves together!
All the disciples present rose to their feet and respectfully saluted them.
"What are you doing?" Wu Yuanhe was not having any of it. Instead, his face darkened because of their lateness and their sudden appearance disrupting the ceremony, and he bluntly questioned them.
"My apologies, Martial Uncle." Daoist Cheng Tian bowed to Wu Yuanhe. He was a generation junior to Wu Yuanhe, so he performed the salute of a disciple.
"However, this ceremony cannot continue as usual. I ask Martial Uncle for understanding," Daoist Cheng Tian continued after a pause.
Wu Yuanhe noticed that Ye Tian showed no surprise whatsoever. Instead, he seemed to have anticipated this long ago. Remembering Ye Tian's earlier words that these people would definitely come, Wu Yuanhe realized there was indeed something suspicious about this matter.
