At the banquet, almost every Immortal Sect Heavenly Lord and True Lord looked toward the young man in azure. Not one of them overlooked him because he was only in the Nascent Soul Realm.
The Great Sun Sword Heir!
He was currently the Immortal Sect's strongest individual combatant, and his future stretched far beyond that. Once he reached Spirit Transformation and then Void Refining, he would become one of the pillars holding up the Immortal Sect.
Whatever the theory might say, in practice he could sway the views of countless Immortal Sect Citizens and shape the sect's future.
"Senior Vast Sea, what do you think?"
Jiang Ding asked.
Vast Sea Heavenly Lord had always seemed to follow Sun Slayer Heavenly Lord's lead, but that did not mean their views were identical. Everyone had their own understanding of how to make the Immortal Sect stronger.
That was one reason so many battles had been fought throughout history.
They were not necessarily fought for personal gain. Even when people shared the same ultimate goal, they could disagree about how to reach it.
Vast Sea Heavenly Lord fell into thought.
"Fellow cultivators,"
Jiang Ding raised his cup, which held fruit juice, and said, "I believe that drawing on the wisdom of myriad races and countless human peoples is a road the Immortal Sect must take to grow strong, and a road we cultivators must take to become immortals."
"There will be growing pains along this road, but it will surely bring enormous rewards in the future."
"I believe today's reforms will turn the Immortal Sect into a true gateway to immortality."
"What would such a gateway look like?"
"It would produce true immortals. Beneath them, Spirit Transformation Heavenly Lords and Void Refining Divine Lords would be found everywhere among its cultivators and citizens.
