The Profound Bright Church held a grand and solemn welcoming ceremony, far beyond Gao Xian's expectations.
Gao Xian had no idea how long his fellow cultivators had been waiting here, since he had never said when he would return. The sect had truly put thought into creating such a spectacle.
The sight of ten thousand people singing his praises genuinely moved Gao Xian.
It did not merely satisfy one's need for honor. More importantly, it was recognition of what he had done in that battle. At least he had not risked his life for nothing; everyone understood the meaning of his desperate fight.
As for whether everyone truly thought so, Gao Xian would not demand it. At any time, people's thoughts could never truly be unified.
Even men and women wrapped in sweet, passionate love could not achieve that, nor could the closest of kindred friends.
Conversely, that was precisely why individual existence was necessary. If a group of people had no differences whatsoever in their patterns of thought, they would lose their independence, and that would become truly terrifying.
After Gao Xian returned the greetings, Zhenyi brought Zhenye and the others over to speak with him. The many Spirit Transformation cultivators surrounding Gao Xian showered him with every sort of compliment.
As the master of Heavenly Treasure Hall, Zhenyi's position was effectively that of the Profound Bright Church's executive deputy leader.

Spirit Transformation cultivators of the Zhen generation, like Zhenye and Zhenying, controlled the Profound Bright Church's most vital central authority. Their status was also far above that
