Chapter 433: Now, Truly A Senior

The central square was incredibly vast.
There were forests and lakes around, and a long river ran through the surroundings.
Many sects were located behind some of the forests, but they all had a view of the central arena.
Those with lower cultivation were provided with a formation to watch the center area.
In the Dao Conference, there were arts and philosophies. But mostly, it was a competition of cultivation techniques, including all aspects like formations, alchemy, and talismans.
In a corner of the forest, there was a raised platform with seats and an open space.
It was where the Heavenly Note Sect was located.
Chu Chuan stood in the open space and looked toward the highest platform.
As various major sects arrived, the strong members of the Bright Moon Sect gradually revealed themselves.
On the platform, figures appeared one after another, and then starlight enveloped the platform as a young girl descended from the sky.
She was dressed in a blue and white gown and was surrounded by starlight, which dimmed the heavens and the earth. She drew the attention of everyone present.
Chu Chuan was stunned.
At this moment, he finally understood what Jiang Hao had meant.
The talent and status of Chu Jie surpassed his expectations.
He felt that Chu Jie was unattainable and beyond reach.
This was a gap in status.
Chu Jie was the bright starlight in an immortal sect, while he was just an ordinary sect disciple of a remote demonic sect.
The gap between them was as vast as the galaxy.
“She’s… incredible,” Chu Chuan said with a smile.
“Beast, where’s the food?” Xiao Li looked around.
Behind them, Mu Qi looked at Chu Jie with some disbelief. “She still hasn’t reached the Foundation Building stage?”
Han Ming was also amazed. “The rumors seem to have some basis.”
They all knew the rumors, and although they hadn’t been sure at first, it seemed that the Bright Moon Sect did have other plans.
At this moment, Liu Xingchen arrived with his group.
He respectfully greeted the three individuals at the highest position.
“Greetings, Masters.”
“What’s the situation?” The leading man in black asked.
He was Cheng Liu, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall.
“I investigated it. It seems that someone leaked the information secretly,” Liu Xingchen said.
“What is it?” Cheng Liu asked.
He was responsible for everything at this time.
Although rumors were not always reliable, they still needed to investigate them to feel at ease.
Even if they couldn’t do anything, they had to at least try.
Liu Xingchen looked around and whispered, “Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.”
“Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment?” None of the three understood.
“It’s said that it follows the heavenly principles and brings blessings to the common people,” Liu Xingchen said.
“Where did you hear this news?” Cheng Liu asked.
“One of the Bright Moon Sect disciples mentioned it. It’s only known to a very small circle of people, and it seems that anyone interested can find out,” Liu Xingchen said.
Cheng Liu frowned.
“It seems that we are still ignorant, ” he said helplessly.
They really didn’t understand the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, so they couldn’t really make sense of the situation.
They could only take it one step at a time for now.
“The little girl is talented. It is no wonder the entire Bright Moon Sect admires her,” Chang Zizai said.
Jiang Hao could also feel that Chu Jie had a certain affinity with the heavens and the earth.
Indeed, she was suitable for the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, as she herself was like a vast and brilliant galaxy.
She was qualified to accommodate the great blessing of heaven and earth.
At this moment, the Bright Moon Sect announced the start of the Dao Conference.
Jiang Hao noticed that they were competing in many things. It wasn’t just about the cultivation realm but also their mental state, formations, alchemy, and more.
Even talismans were being compared.
What surprised Jiang Hao was that they could suppress or temporarily enhance their cultivation here at whim.
They could either suppress or enhance it but enhancing it required using a particular magical treasure.
Jiang Hao first focused on the group making talismans. There weren’t many people there.
Then, he turned to look at the place where the people from the Heavenly Note Sect were gathered.
He saw Xiao Li running around with the spirit beast. She was likely looking for food.
‘What was she here for?’
Jiang Hao thought that his master must be helpless. No one could control her.
They could only let her be.
As time passed, light began to appear below. It was accompanied by exclamations from the crowd as some individuals began to glow radiantly.
Jiang Hao felt that some sort of power was gradually appearing. It seemed that the Bright Moon Sect was getting ready for the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.
Once it began, it couldn’t be stopped. They had to move forward with it.
Jiang Hao looked around but didn’t find anything interesting. He wanted to see the power of the Soul Ascension Realm cultivators, but they weren’t here yet.
Chang Zizai often talked to him, so he had to keep up with the conversation.
“What are you doing, Chang Zizai? Why did you bring a young person up here?” asked a woman suddenly.
She wore a beige gown and a green gauze shawl. She looked very classy.
“Senior Qingshan?” Chang Zizai was surprised. “Did the Clear Sky School send you?”
“I didn’t expect that a waste like you would come from the Astronomical Academy,” Qingshan said mockingly and sat down.
“I heard that your sect has a disciple with the heart of a sage. Is he here too?” Chang Zizai asked.
Jiang Hao’s heart skipped a beat. ‘Is that Shang An?’
“No. He won’t leave the sect so easily.” Qingshan shook her head and then looked at Jiang Hao. She looked puzzled.
How could an ordinary disciple come here?
“Senior, there seems to be a misunderstanding,” Chang Zizai said hurriedly.
“These two are not from my academy. They are guests invited by the Bright
Moon Sect. Though, I wish they were from my academy.”
Jiang Hao greeted her politely. “Greetings, Senior.”
“I am Qingshan of the Clear Sky School. I don’t know which sect you two are from,” Qingshan said.
No one dared to question someone in the high seat. These two looked like ordinary disciples in the Foundation Establishment Realm, but something was strange.
“We are just humble wandering cultivators,” said Jiang Hao.
Qingshan frowned slightly but didn’t ask further questions. Instead, she planned to find out about it secretly.
At this moment, some disciples from the Bright Moon Sect approached them. They were tasked with serving tea to the guests. Hua Han led the way.
She was serving tea to the others. When she saw Jiang Hao, she was startled. She bowed hurriedly. “Greetings, Senior. I apologize for unintentionally offending you before. Please forgive me.”
Jiang Hao shook his head and didn’t take it to heart. He didn’t want to hold grudges against anyone.
This surprised Qingshan. After they were served the tea, she followed Hua Han out.
“Wait a moment, girl.”
“Do you need anything, Senior?” Hua Han was puzzled. “Do you know that person?” Qingshan asked.
“We’ve… met once,” Hua Han said.
“Why is he sitting here?” Qingshan was worried that the person was of questionable background and could affect the gathering.
Everyone, even the Clear Sky School, wanted the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment to be a success. The only regret Qingshan had was that the one achieving the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment wasn’t from their sect.
If they had such a disciple, they would also go all out. “According to the list, they shouldn’t be here, but…” “Did they come here suddenly?”
“Yes. They are friends invited by Senior Si Cheng.”
Qingshan was surprised. “Senior Si Cheng?! The Senior Si Cheng?”
Hua Han nodded.
“That should be fine, then.” Qingshan was shocked.
She turned toward Jiang Hao and the woman beside him.
It was no wonder she couldn’t figure them out.
‘But why did he refer to himself as a ‘junior’?’
On a high mountain, several old men looked down below. Their brows furrowed slightly.
“Are there any other strong individuals or special people on the scene?
Everything… seems stable.”
“Do we need to go and check?”
“No need. We still have to prevent any accidents. The Saint bandits are still lurking, and they may want to sabotage the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.”
“Where did they come from, anyway?”
“Perhaps… the deep sea..”
