Screee!
A Phoenix's cry rang out.
A six-thousand-zhang Fire Phoenix came sweeping in on outspread wings.
Its flames dyed the auspicious clouds overhead into blazing clouds of fire.
Then a hundred-zhang black Phoenix shot out of Floating Cloud Mountain. It was Mysterious Swallow. The two Phoenixes met, circling and calling, conjuring a magnificent vision of a hundred birds paying homage to the Phoenixes over Floating Cloud Mountain to congratulate the Truth-Seeking Abbey.
The hundred birds dispersed, and the Fire Phoenix landed.
A splendidly dressed Phoenix maiden of the Feathered Transformation realm took out her congratulatory gifts and headed toward the main hall. Behind her, the voice of the True Person serving as master of ceremonies rang out:
"The Phoenix Clan presents two Earth Tier Fire Essence Stones, congratulating the Truth-Seeking Abbey on its promotion and the succession of its head True Person."
A hiss rang out.
A white serpent slipped through the void.
Bai Suying had arrived.
As she climbed the mountain and entered the hall, the master of ceremonies called out again: "The Five Immortals Lineage presents one bottle of Earth Tier Mystic Yin True Water, congratulating the Truth-Seeking Abbey on its double blessing."
Five-colored radiance spread across the sky. A vortex poised between the real and the illusory appeared in the void, and two Dream Tapirs, one large and one small, emerged wreathed in hazy light. They transformed into a delicate, lean youth and a plump little girl with twin buns.
They were Meng Ying and Dream Maiden, the young chief of the Dream Tapir Tribe.
Both held parasols, disliking the daylight.
After offering their greetings, they climbed the mountain. Soon, a voice sounded behind them: "The Dream Tapir Tribe congratulates the Truth-Seeking Abbey on this joyous occasion and presents two jars of Dream Epiphyllum Flower Wine."
