Yaochi Holy Mother had someone lead out the cultivators of the Five Qi Mystic Sects, then introduced them one by one. "This is Perfect Jade Perfected, sect master of the White Cloud Sect. This is Mei Yu True Cultivator, sect master of the Mysterious Cloud Sect. This is Mingyu True Cultivator, sect master of the Azure Cloud Sect..."
"Greetings, fellow Daoists!" The five sect masters offered everyone a Daoist salute.
At those words, the cultivators from the holy lands attending the gathering showed no reaction. The cultivators watching from the surrounding area, however, had plenty to say.
"The strongest of them is only a Daluo Golden Immortal, yet they dare address our holy land masters as fellow Daoists. What arrogance!"
"I really don't know how people like these even qualified to attend Yaochi's grand gathering."
"A few of us brothers could wipe out sects like theirs. What a joke."
The Five Sacred Mountains Divine Continent was relatively weak. Only the Panshen Heavenly Palace Palace Master inspired fear on all sides; the other cultivators fell far short, leaving an enormous gulf in strength.
Disrespectful though these words were, they were also true. Some small sects had enough strength to wipe out any one of the Five Qi Mystic Sects.
Others shook their heads and sighed. "I'd long heard that the cultivators of the Five Sacred Mountains Divine Continent were weak, but hearing a hundred times is no match for seeing once. To think they've fallen this far! How formidable the Five Sacred Mountains Immortal King was back in his day."
Whatever others did, no one inside Yaochi reacted. The cultivators of the various holy lands returned the salute. "Greetings, fellow Daoists."
None of the holy land cultivators looked displeased. Presumably, they had already known this would happen today.
