In the eyes of many, although Daoist Return-to-Void had missed out on the greatest opportunity of Rebirth After a Hundred Tribulations, he would very likely attempt to break through to the Zenith Heaven realm in the next calamity.
Such a figure naturally drew great attention from every faction. They also wished to use this banquet to probe Daoist Return-to-Void's true depth.
This time, the immortals of the Guixu Heavenly Domain noticed a change. Top-tier immortals who were normally seen only once every ten thousand years began continuously flying across the Guixu Heavenly Domain, one powerful immortal after another blazing like the midday sun as they streaked across the sky.
Among them, the weakest were Earth Immortals. Even half-step Heavenly Immortals mixed among them were entirely unremarkable, while Heavenly Immortal mighty figures appeared by the hundreds and thousands.
Outside the Guixu Grotto-Heaven, the many immortals of the Chen Immortal Clan welcomed the gathered immortals with smiles and laid out an incomparably grand feast upon the Daoist Guixu Field.
"Six hundred Heavenly Immortals have already arrived."
That day, Chen Nianzhi emerged from the grotto-heaven. Looking at the list in his hand, surprise flickered in his eyes.
The Sky-Pillar Immortal Domain had only a little over a thousand Heavenly Immortal mighty figures in total. Yet before the banquet had even begun, nearly half of all Heavenly Immortals had arrived. This truly caught Chen Nianzhi somewhat off guard.
Beside him, Jiang Linglong quietly said, "Heavenly Immortal mighty figures from nearly all the mid- and lower-grade ninth-rank grotto-heavens have arrived. Only the top-tier grotto-heavens and the Ancient Immortal mighty figures have yet to come."
Chen Nianzhi nodded at this, then said, "Those people have begun arriving as well."
Just as his words fell, three streams of light tore through the void from its distant end.
