The four celestial ancestors not only came to observe the ceremony, but also bestowed gifts upon us?

Boom~~~~

Four golden beams shot out from the clouds above the main hall, leaving everyone inside in shock.

What the Celestial Ancestor bestowed upon all his disciples could hardly be an ordinary item.

No one knew what kind of talisman or secret technique it was, and they had no way of guessing its value.

Nine celestial-grade pills alone were enough to make the Void Return Immortals in the Profound Heaven Palace envious.

Whether it's elixirs or magical treasures, reaching the immortal level means they are items used by immortals.

Even the most ordinary immortal-grade pills are far more precious than a heaven-grade magic treasure.

If you want to buy Origin Liquid, you'd need at least a million Origin Liquid (500 kg) of it.

They are usually at the level of celestial immortals, using it to replenish their immortal power during battles.

Ordinary Loose Immortal Earth Immortal wouldn't even be willing to use them.

The other token Yinglong Guard's 'Inspector' token, is also quite remarkable.

Most of the peak leaders Void Return Immortals knew that their sects had an extremely close relationship with the Xia Clan royal family and the Yinglong Guard; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were as close as family.

All inner disciples will directly become Yinglong Guard upon arriving in the Xia Clan Great World, enjoying the same treatment as Yinglong Guard. True disciples can even become 'Inspector Envoys' of a branch, directly under the command of the Yinglong Guard headquarters.

However, the 'Inspector' is a position that only immortals dispatched by the Yinglong Guard headquarters are qualified to hold. Like the Five-Clawed Yinglong Guard, who holds the highest position in the Yinglong Guard, they can mobilize the Yinglong Guard army and their status is comparable to that of a feudal lord.

This token represents identity, status, and the Great Xia Emperor. Even if you offered a top-grade immortal magic weapon, I wouldn't trade it!

Zhou Hao stared in astonishment for a long while at the four items bestowed by the Celestial Ancestor floating in front of him.

A Dao talisman, like a freshly picked leaf, is very similar to the Pure Yang Ancestor talisman used by Steward Senluo in the Abyss World.

One secret technique is a purple book with the words "Purple Lightning Yin Thunder Blade" on the cover, the five characters seemingly crackling with lightning.

A wooden box, with pale yellow wood grain, was carved with the two ancient characters 'Huixian' (回仙). Inside were clearly the nine immortal-grade pills.

A token, made of black metal, with a lifelike five- Yinglong on its surface, and the four golden characters "Inspector on Behalf of Heaven" on it, as if it had the power to command the world.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and accept the thanks." Seeing Zhou Hao's stunned expression, Immortal Feng Yu quickly reminded him via telepathy.

Wow!

Zhou Hao waved his hand to put away the four gifts, and respectfully bowed to the clouds at the top of the hall, saying, "This disciple thanks the four venerable ancestors for their gifts."

"Zhou Hao, that Dao talisman was personally crafted by me. After you refine it, carry it with you. With just a thought, you can activate its immortal energy to protect your body. In case of danger... even if a Pure Yang attacks, you can hold out for a breath."

A gentle voice sounded in his ear. Zhou Hao looked up and saw four figures clearly appearing in the golden clouds above the main hall.

The young man in the golden Daoist robe sitting at the highest point nodded slightly to him. "My Daoist name is ' Mu Yang '."

"Patriarch Mu Yang." Zhou Hao was secretly surprised.

This is Pure Yang True Immortal Pure Yang True Immortal! No wonder he dared to say that the immortal energy in the talisman could protect him and stop him from taking a single breath.

"That secret technique was a gift from me," another man in a pale yellow robe said with a smile. "This ' Purple Lightning Yin Thunder Blade ' is not a sect's secret technique, but rather a secret technique unique to my Liang Clan. Although the name contains the word 'blade,' it is actually a secret technique for controlling lightning. Last time you helped Nishang retrieve the ' Nine Thunder Cauldron,' so this secret technique is a gift from me to you."

It turns out to be the ancestor of the Liang Clan.

"A few days ago, ' Tiandu ' said that your Second Primordial Spirit exhausted its Origin Power to save him?" Another young man with blue hair spoke up. "These immortal-grade pills are what I refined to restore your Origin Power. One pill is enough to recover the loss of your Second Primordial Spirit. The rest is for your self-defense and cultivation."

This is the patriarch of the Yu Clan.

The last imposing man was dressed differently from the other three elders, with Yinglong embroidery patterns on his body.

"I am the Left King of the Great Xia Emperor, Yinglong Guard is under my command." The Left King looked at Zhou Hao and smiled. "When you return to the Xia Clan Great World to explore in the future, this token will be more convenient to carry. If you wish to cultivate at the Yinglong Guard headquarters, you may come to see me at the Left King in the Xia Capital Imperial City."

The four True Immortals and Celestial Ancestors revealed their divine countenances only to see Zhou Hao.

The other immortal disciples inside the hall naturally couldn't see it; all they saw was a golden cloud.

Everyone saw Zhou Hao put away the four treasures, then respectfully bow to the clouds above. After a flash of golden light, only four jade thrones remained at the top of the hall.

With the departure of the Celestial Ancestor, the Sect Leader Immortal Feng Yu, announced the end of the ceremony.

The Profound Heaven Palace then became lively.

One by one, the chief immortals and primordial spirit elders came to greet Zhou Hao and offer their congratulations.

Logically speaking, Zhou Hao was only promoted to a true disciple. Although his status in the sect was almost equal to that of the Nascent Soul Elders, he was still a junior due to his cultivation level and seniority. It should have been him who went to pay respects to the head immortals of each peak.

Even the sect's celestial ancestor treated him with special regard, personally attending the ceremony and bestowing rewards upon him. Who would dare to truly regard him as a junior?

For a time, Zhou Hao was surrounded by Void Return Immortals and Primordial Spirit Elders. Even the two true disciples, Nishang and Lin Han, couldn't squeeze in, let alone the other inner disciples.

"Junior Sister Nishang, let's go to Junior Brother Zhou Hao's newly built mountain cave." Lin Han smiled wryly at Fairy Nishang beside him.

Seeing this, Fairy Nishang could only nod.

Their sect's grand ceremony for promoting disciples to true disciples was never this grand.

Let alone them, even when a sect's Primordial Spirit Daoist advances to the Void Return Immortal realm, there's never a Celestial Ancestor personally present!

When Zhou Hao came out of the Profound Heaven Palace, he felt even more exhausted than if he had just fought a fierce battle.

"Zhou Hao." A chubby middle-aged man greeted him. "Your mountain cave is finished. I'll take you there now."

"Thank you for your trouble, Lord Wanqiu," Zhou Hao said, bowing.

This man is the master of the sect's ' Heavenly Craft Hall ', with the Daoist name ' Wanqiu ', and is a Primordial Spirit Daoist.

Considering that his master's public identity was only that of Primordial Spirit Daoist, Zhou Hao dared not underestimate him in the slightest.

In Zhou Hao's view, not only Wanqiu Daoren, but also Daoist Huang Ting of the Dao Treasury Hall, those who can serve as the master of a hall in a sect are not ordinary Primordial Spirit Daoist.

Wanqiu and Zhou Hao rode together on auspicious clouds and left Profound Pole Peak.

"Zhou Hao, the specifications of the mountain peaks for each true disciple are the same. Look at Nishang's ' Ten Thousand Rosy Clouds Peak ' and Lin Han's ' Cold Blade Peak '. They are what they are today because they have been working on them for over a hundred years."

With a smile, Wanqiu prepared to give advance notice before even reaching the mountain peak of Zhou Hao's true disciples.

For cultivators, building a mountain peak that is 3,333 feet tall is an extremely simple matter.

The difficulty lies in constructing the mountain array, embedding spiritual roots, and setting up various cultivation arrangements.

"Your mountain peak was somewhat simple at first..." As Wanqiu Daoist was speaking, auspicious clouds circled around Ten Thousand Seas Peak, and a solitary peak rose from the clouds in front of them. Below the towering peaks was a flat cliff, on which was a cave dwelling, backed by the Jade Wall of Chonggang.

At the summit of the mountain, several clear springs flow, winding down the mountain and gradually converging into a mighty torrent.

The surging torrents reached the edge of the cliff, plunging thousands of feet into the water like spraying snow, forming a silvery, iridescent waterfall that converged into a deep pool in front of the cave.

In the deep pool, there is also a flat stone area of about an acre in diameter. On the flat stone, there are pavilions, towers, waterside pavilions, and covered walkways, each with carved beams and painted rafters, and is exceptionally exquisite.

Moreover, the entire mountain is lush and verdant, filled with exotic flowers, rare plants, ancient trees, and rare stones. White tigers, white deer, and white rabbits roam the mountain, making it a veritable paradise on earth.

"This, this is still a bit rudimentary?" Zhou Hao exclaimed in surprise, his eyes filled with even more respect as he looked at Wanqiu.

Leaving aside the other scenery and exotic flowers in the mountains, the pavilions and towers on the flat rocks of the deep pool in front of the cave are all puppet buildings, and each one is no cheaper than Earth-Grade Dharma Treasure.

This is still somewhat rudimentary. How much confidence must the Wanqiu have to be to be so bold?

"This..." Even Wanqiu was dumbfounded.

It wasn't like this when I left...

To arrange the mountain peaks like this, you shouldn't even think about it without spending three to five hundred Origin Liquid.

Even if he wanted to arrange it this way, the sect wouldn't allow it!

"Senior Brother Zhou Hao"

A streak of light flew out from a waterside pavilion below, heading towards Zhou Hao's auspicious clouds.

It's Liu Yu.

"Disciples from all twelve inner peaks have sent gifts to adorn your mountain," Liu Yu said excitedly. "Senior Sister Nishang Chang, Senior Brother Lin Han, and I, along with other senior brothers and sisters from the inner sect, have also added some decorations to your mountain as a way of congratulating you."

As she spoke, Liu Yu handed over a gift list.

Zhou Hao took it and saw that it listed the twelve inner peaks, such as the spiritual spring given by Ten Thousand Seas Peak, the Emerald Cloud Barrier given by Morning Jade Peak, the lakeside pavilion given by Joyful Wander Peak, and the thousand ancient trees given by Nine Splendors Peak...

"So that's why the elders and peak leaders only exchanged pleasantries without giving me any gifts earlier," Zhou Hao thought to himself.

Among cultivators, especially when opening a new cave dwelling, it is perfectly normal and elegant for friends to gift rare flowers and exotic plants to enhance the scenic beauty of the mountain peaks.

Zhou Hao's ability to become a true disciple meant that, in everyone's eyes, he was already a powerful figure at the level of Primordial Spirit Daoist. How could he be dismissed with just a little Origin Liquid and an ordinary Earth-Grade Dharma Treasure when he first entered the sect?

Furthermore, with four Celestial Ancestors setting such a high bar, everyone, from the various peaks of the inner sect to the numerous inner disciples, knew they couldn't compete with the Celestial Ancestors in terms of the value of their gifts. So they could only focus on making their gifts exquisite and elegant.

"Oh, right," Liu Yu suddenly remembered and reminded him, "Senior Brother Zhou Hao, your mountain peak hasn't been named yet. You should give it a name first."

name...

Zhou Hao stood on the auspicious cloud, looking down at the mountain peak.

Suddenly, with a wave of his hand, a wisp of white golden energy flew out from the Taiyi Golden Fiend nurtured in his Purple Mansion, streaking across the sky and landing on the jade wall of the mountain peak behind the cave.

Sizzle~~ Sizzle~~~

Stone chips flew everywhere.

In the blink of an eye, the two characters ' Yueying ' appeared on the mountaintop.

"From now on, this peak will be called... Yueying Peak!" Zhou Hao said solemnly.

Sir, I have fulfilled your request.

The name Yueying Peak will stand tall in the Upper Sect!

P. S.: The word count has been calculated; the following is free of charge...

The Profound Heaven Realm is basically over. The next chapter will return to the Xia Clan Great World, and will be somewhat integrated with the original storyline, but it will not follow the main plot of the original work. Zhou Hao will take everyone to see some places that were not in the original work.

It's okay if you haven't read the original work; it won't affect your reading experience. Thanks for your support!
