Before long, numerous immortals, gods, and rogue cultivators arrived at the banquet venue where the celebration was being held.
By then, quite a few living beings had already gathered within the venue.
They clustered in groups of three or five, chattering among themselves:
"Did you hear? Even Saints are coming to this celebration?"
"Of course!"
"It seems there will be more than one Saint."
"Really? The Western Heavenly Court was only just established, yet Saints are already coming to oversee it. It truly is extraordinary!"
"Looks like the establishment of the Western Heavenly Court has received the Saints' approval as well."
"The Western Heavenly Court has far too much prestige, doesn't it?"
"After all, it was founded by the Dao Ancestor's attendant. Even Saints have to show it some respect."

Just as everyone was discussing it fervently, an announcement suddenly rang out from outside the venue:
"Sect Master Tongtian has arrived!"
At the sound of that announcement, every living being in the venue was stunned, especially the great powers, who found it utterly inconceivable.
"Huh?"
"What is going on?"
"Sect Master Tongtian is actually the first Saint-level figure to arrive?"
"..."
Many living beings cried out in amazement.
The great powers, however, wore looks of utter surprise.
After all, they all knew that Haotian had established the Western Heavenly Court under the instruction of Primordial Heavenly Venerate and the two Saints of the Western Teachings.
Moreover, Haotian had led many immortals and gods in rebelling against the Heavenly Court.
Such actions were clearly a provocation toward Qin Mu.
And Sect Master Tongtian was Qin Mu's master.
In the eyes of those great powers, Sect Master Tongtian should not have come to attend the Western Heavenly Court's celebration.
Yet who could have expected Tongtian to be the first Saint-level figure
