"Have you heard? Senior Shen of the Thousand Spirits Sect has a Heavenly Treasure! He used it to break Heavenly Venerable Ganhuo's Spirit Domain."
"I heard about it ages ago. I never expected us to witness the birth of a new Heavenly Venerable."
"I heard that Senior Shen voluntarily entered Heavenly Venerable Ganhuo's Spirit Domain. Senior Ning activated the Spirit Domain to attack Senior Shen, yet Senior Shen emerged completely unharmed."
The streets and alleys were abuzz with discussion of this matter. Many Mahayana cultivators regretted missing the battle.
When Thousand Spirits Sect disciples heard the discussions of other cultivators, they held their heads high and puffed out their chests. The Thousand Spirits Sect had produced a Heavenly Venerable; its rise was now unstoppable.
Fire Qilin Pavilion, the largest restaurant in the marketplace, was extravagantly expensive.
Lin Qingshan strode into Fire Qilin Pavilion. The cultivators in the main hall rose to their feet one after another and bowed. "Greetings, Senior Lin."
Lin Qingshan was Shen Long's grand-disciple, and his status had risen along with Shen Long's.
The expressions of the cultivators present varied—envy, awe, and nervousness.
"Forget the formalities. I'm here for a social engagement. Go about your business and don't mind me."
Lin Qingshan spoke amiably as he headed upstairs.
Only after Lin Qingshan reached the second floor did the cultivators in the hall dare to sit back down.
"Senior Lin is truly approachable, worthy of being Heavenly Venerable Myriad Beasts' grand-disciple."
"Otherwise, how could Senior Lin have become Heavenly Venerable Myriad Beasts' grand-disciple? His character is far beyond that of ordinary people."
"Isn't that so? With a Heavenly Venerable for a grandmaster, it is only a matter of time before Senior Lin enters the Mahayana Stage."
The cultivators talked over one another, their chatter unceasing.
