After a brief moment of shock, everyone immediately came to their senses.
More than a hundred ascenders!
What an astonishing opportunity!
If they could recruit them all into a single immortal kingdom, that kingdom's strength would undergo a heaven-and-earth-shaking transformation within just a few years!
"Fellow Daoists, I am an envoy of the Azure Cloud Immortal Kingdom! Our sovereign is a mighty Golden Immortal. Join our Azure Cloud Immortal Kingdom, and each of you will receive ten thousand immortal stones..."
"Don't listen to him! Our Mysterious Flame Immortal Sect has a legacy spanning hundreds of thousands of years. Our sect master is at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, and our sect even possesses complete Profound Immortal cultivation methods..."
"Our Hundred Flowers Immortal Kingdom has many female cultivators. If you join us, you can receive a fairy as your Dao companion free of charge..."
The envoys from the various factions scrambled to speak over one another.
But before they could finish, they noticed Li Qingshan standing at the very front of the crowd.
At first, they merely felt that Li Qingshan gave off no aura at all, as though he were an ordinary mortal with no cultivation.
But how could a mortal pass through the Gate of Immortality and appear in the Ascension Pool?
Several Profound Immortals activated secret arts at the same time, attempting to probe Li Qingshan's cultivation.
The moment their divine senses drew near Li Qingshan, they seemed to plunge into a vast, boundless chaos universe.
Worlds were born and perished; myriad Daos rose and fell.
A World Tree that held heaven and earth apart took root at the center of the chaos, while a figure in azure robes sat high above the nine heavens, seemingly looking down upon all the heavens and myriad worlds!
"Pfft!"
