Three days later, the opening ceremony came as scheduled.
At dawn, Ye Wudao and Qi Yunting walked out from the temporary residence at the foot of the Heaven Gate Sect mountain.
The main hall on the top of the mountain is newly built. In front of the hall is a wide bluestone square. In the center of the square stands a newly engraved stone tablet with the three words "Heaven Gate Sect" written on it.
The mountain gate is still empty, waiting for the clan leader to hang the plaque himself during the opening ceremony.
When the first group of people arrived, the sun had just risen.
Several large sects from Central Heaven Domain came, led by monks from Integrated Body Late Stage, wearing brand new robes and holding a congratulatory gift covered with red silk in their hands.
Ye Wudao didn't know them, but they introduced themselves and said they had seen Ye Wudao arrange Immortal Array's style at the Demon Race battle.
Ye Wudao politely returned the gift and asked Ma Lian'an to lead them through the door.
Then there is Yuqing Sect from East Heavenly Domain.
This time it was Sect Leader Yuqing Sect himself, accompanied by three elders, and the lineup was even more complete than that of Arena Tournament.
Ye Wudao Standing at the mountain gate, he saw the battle formation from a distance and raised his eyebrows slightly.
After the Yuqing Sect master came closer, he arched his hand towards him, his polite manner with a touch of well-controlled alienation. "Fellow Daoist Ye, you're all right. Since Yuqing Sect's territory was exported by Arena Tournament, we naturally acknowledge it. Although this gift is light, it represents my Yuqing Sect's sincerity."
Ye Wudao returned the favor. "Sect Master, you're welcome. From now on, Heaven Gate Sect and Yuqing Sect will be neighbors."
Yuqing Sect Master nodded and led the elders into the mountain gate.
Following Yuqing Sect is All-Encompassing Sect of West Heavenly Domain.
All-Encompassing Sect Here comes a deputy sect master named Liu. He has a kind face and talks with a smile.
He handed Ye Wudao an Storage Ring, saying it was a congratulatory gift from the All-Encompassing Sect, two ten thousand-year elixirs, a box of weapon refining materials, and a pile of medicine refining materials.
Ye Wudao thanked him and asked someone to guide him.
Central Heaven Domain's Sword Sect came the latest and had the biggest battle.
The sect leader personally led the team, followed by seven sword-wielding elders. When the group fell to the ground, Sword Qi was so stirred that the dust on the edge of the square was shaken up.
The leader of the Sword Sect was a middle-aged man with a thin face and sharp eyes. After approaching, he nodded slightly towards Ye Wudao and said only one sentence, "Wine Sword Immortal went to the Mortal Realm. On behalf of the Supreme Elder, I express my blessings for the reconstruction of the Heaven Gate Sect."
South Heavenly Domain's major sects also arrived one after another.
Although there were not as many people as North Heavenly Domain and Central Heaven Domain, all of them were leaders or great elders, and none of them were lower than Integration Realm.
There was a sect named Zhu, who was said to be in the spiritual materials business, and he brought three cartloads of gifts.
Ye Wudao looked at the three cars dragged by the spirit beasts, feeling a little dumbfounded.
When the sun reached its zenith, the square was already full of people.
A rough count showed that there were at least a thousand people, including fifty or sixty large sects from Five Heavenly Domains, all the super sects, and large sects from Earth Domain, Mystic Domain, and Desolate Domain.
There were countless Rogue Cultivator, filling the whole square.
There were people on the periphery of the crowd hanging in mid-air watching from a distance.
Ye Wudao stood on the steps at the entrance of the main hall, Zhao Yiyuan stood on his left side, and Qi Yunting stood a little behind him on his right side.
Looking at the densely packed heads in front of him, he suddenly felt that the final step of the seven levels he had passed through in the Myriad Worlds Academy was to stand at this place.
Ye Wudao took a look at the person who had almost arrived, and said softly to Zhao Yiyuan: "Sect Master, the auspicious time has come."
Zhao Yiyuan took half a step forward, cleared his throat, and said to the dark crowd in the square, "Heaven Gate Sect was originally the sect of Heavenly Domain. Later, the sect withered and fell to Desolate Domain. I have survived with more than a dozen disciples to this day. I originally thought that this sect would never have a chance to see the light of day again in this life."
"Later, I saved someone in Desolate Domain. I didn't think too much at the time, I just saw that he didn't look like a bad guy. I didn't expect that he later took back the sect's territory for me and rebuilt the sect. This man standing here now is my benefactor and the sect leader of the Heaven Gate Sect."
The square was quiet for a moment, and then low-pitched discussions broke out.
Many people in the sect only knew that Heaven Gate Sect was rebuilt by Ye Wudao, but they did not know the relationship between Ye Wudao and the old Heaven Gate Sect.
Those discussions soon became quiet again, because Zhao Yiyuan took half a step back and turned sideways to give up the middle position.
Ye Wudao took a step forward and stood at the front of the steps of the main hall. Thousands of pairs of eyes in the square all fell on him.
He didn't say any more words, he only said a few words: "Heaven Gate Sect was built here. From now on, the land between East Heavenly Domain and Central Heaven Domain will be Heaven Gate Sect's territory. If you want to come, Heaven Gate Sect will open the door to welcome you. If you want to leave, Heaven Gate Sect will not stay. The rules are very simple, don't bully fellow sects, don't betray the sect, and don't bully ordinary people."
He paused for a moment, then raised his hand and made a vague stroke at his side.
A golden pattern spread from under his feet, spreading outward along the gaps in the green bricks of the square, like countless tiny light snakes swimming on the ground, climbing up the mountain.
Wherever the formation pattern passed, golden light seeped out from the cracks in the rocks, wrapping the entire mountain within it.
A translucent golden light curtain rises from the mountainside and slowly closes on the dome. The surface of the light curtain is covered with intricate patterns that make people's scalp numb.
"This formation is named Primordial Mountain Protection Array. No one can break it under Golden Immortal. From today on, it will be the mountain-protecting formation of the Heaven Gate Sect."
Array Master from the sects in the square took a breath of cold air at the same time.
Someone couldn't help shouting in a low voice, "Immortal Array? Is this Immortal Array?"
"What a generous act!"
"Today's Immortal Realm, who can use Immortal Array to make Sect Protection Array!"
"With Immortal Array here, Heaven Gate Sect's disciples can be said to be invincible!"
"You're kidding! Heaven Gate Sect belongs to Ye Wudao, and Ye Wudao came from the Azure Sect. Who among the Spirit Realm's today dares to go against the Azure Sect?"
"Not to mention, Ye Wudao and Immortal Array Master are here, who dares to disturb Tai Sui?"
Ye Wudao didn't explain much, returned to Zhao Yiyuan's side, and gave up the main position again.
Zhao Yiyuan glanced at him, without refusing, walked up to the top of the steps, raised his hand, and with a wave of his hand, he used his spiritual power to hold up the hanging plaque at the mountain gate and hung it on the door.
Three words are clearly visible on the plaque: Heaven Gate Sect.
There was a round of applause and congratulations in the square.
All kinds of sounds came together and came over like a tide, drowning the entire mountain in the noisy excitement.
Next comes the part of giving congratulatory gifts.
Starting from the Yuqing Sect of East Heavenly Domain, one family came forward to present the congratulatory gifts, and Zhao Yiyuan sent someone to register and create a book.
Although the gifts brought by the small and medium-sized sects and Rogue Cultivator are not as good as those of the large sects, they are better in variety.
Some people gave pills, some people gave formation flags, and some people simply gave a whole cart of spiritual rice.
Ye Wudao stood on the steps and looked at the people lining up below to deliver things. Suddenly, he felt that the name Heaven Gate Sect had transformed from an old plaque into a mountain, a formation, and an entire living sect.
After the gift registration was completed, Zhao Yiyuan suddenly turned to look at everyone and said softly, "Today is not only the opening ceremony of my family, Heaven Gate Sect, but also the wedding celebration of my granddaughter and Ye Wudao!"
"Since everyone is here today, why not sit down and have a glass of wedding wine!"
Zhao Yiyuan These words were said suddenly and in a calm tone, as if he had said something that had been planned for a long time.
The square was quiet for a moment, then someone shouted "Hello" first, and then the whole square exploded.
The guests who were about to leave all stopped and turned to look at the steps in front of the main hall.
Discussions, laughter, and applause came and went.
