Zong Ganyu was not the only one stunned. Everyone present who saw this scene was dumbfounded. It defied all reason! The Second Saints and Sage Kong had all returned Fang Yun's bow. What immense honor was this?
To every scholar, this scene was even more astonishing than Fang Yun's The Myriad Worlds Bear Witness.
The Zong Family members were utterly bewildered. Saint Zong was a heaven-gifted genius, yet when his Sacred Image had entered the Hall of All Sages, Sage Kong and the six Second Saints had not so much as moved, let alone returned his bow!
The sages had returned his bow. What an extraordinary honor! Even if Fang Yun became a Saint Ancestor and was granted the title of Saint, he could expect no greater treatment.
Fang Yun's Sacred Image stepped forward and came to stand beside Saint Zong's Sacred Image.
Saint Zong had been the last member of the Human Race to undergo Saint Enfeoffment.
But then something happened that nearly made the Zong Family members cough blood: Saint Zong's Sacred Image slowly turned sideways.
Saint Zong's Sacred Image was making way for Fang Yun's!
Under everyone's horrified gazes, Fang Yun's Sacred Image stepped forward, passing Saint Zong's. Next, Mi Fengdian's Sacred Image turned sideways, and Fang Yun passed him as well.
Then, one Half-Sage's Sacred Image after another turned sideways. Fang Yun kept stepping forward, passing Half-Sage after Half-Sage.
At last, Fang Yun arrived before Dong Zhongshu, foremost of the Half-Sages!
Dong Zhongshu's Sacred Image slowly turned sideways!
The instant Dong Zhongshu turned, Saint Zong retreated one position. Then all the Half-Sages moved back one position in orderly succession.
Finally, Dong Zhongshu also retreated into second place.
Fang Yun's Sacred Image stepped forward and took the foremost position among the Half-Sages!
