In the spacious and magnificent great hall, a dreamlike, celestial aura permeated the air. Many cultivators with long, flowing hair and pristine white robes could be seen, some gathered in small groups whispering to one another, while others stood silently to the side, lost in meditation. Their postures were graceful and their bearing otherworldly, as if they had become one with the celestial hall itself.
Beyond them, other cultivators displayed unique animal traits. Some had magnificent wings sprouting from their backs, creating gentle breezes with every flutter; others bore horns upon their heads that glimmered with mysterious light; still others had assumed the form of nimble fox spirits, their nine tails swaying with elegant charm. Though these diverse beings gathered here, there was no sense of discord; rather, they made the entire scene all the more vibrant and colorful.
Suddenly, a mild commotion rippled through the hall. Everyone simultaneously turned their gaze toward the entrance. It was Master Tongtian who had returned! His stride was steady, and he radiated a formidable, awe-inspiring aura. Upon seeing the Master’s return, the bustling hall fell silent in an instant. Every cultivator stood up respectfully to bow and pay their respects. For a moment, the synchronized movements and the chorus of greetings echoed throughout the hall, demonstrating the Jiejiao disciples' deep reverence for their Master.
