Yun Yuanfang, Lian Huashao and the rest followed behind Luo Qingwu on the eighth light path and came before Lin Feng.

Luo Qingwu knelt down and the Qingwu Pavilion disciples behind her did the same thing.

“Greetings, Master.”

“Greetings, Grandmaster.”

Lin Feng laughed and pointed into void space, “Xuan Che, I shall confer onto you your honorific title today. You shall be known as the Xuan Che Holy Woman, for the records of the sect.”

A jade token with the words “Xuan Che” appeared. Below them, the words “Holy Woman” appeared. They combined together and formed the words “Xuan Che Holy Woman”.

Luo Qingwu received the jade token over and kowtowed towards Lin Feng, “Thanks, Master.”

Usually, a sword cultivator would be called a swordmaster when he or she reached the Immortal Soul Stage rather than a holy man or holy woman. But neither Lin Feng nor Luo Qingwu had no special intention to make her title different from the rest.

The Heavenly Master Swordmaster sighed when he saw this scene. Whereas the Lightning Swordmaster on the other side said cheerfully, “It’s my honor to be in front of the Xuan Che Holy Man and Sword Celestial Master.”

Just like Yue Hongyan, there were those who referred to Luo Qingwu as the Sword Celestial Master before she formed the Immortal Soul. Although many recognized Luo Qingwu’s talent and potential, they didn’t really bother about her.

But no one could underestimate her now anymore. Furthermore, the significance of the title ‘Sword Celestial Master’ was entirely different as it was said by the Lightning Swordmaster.

The Heavenly Swordmaster sighed and said, “It’s my honor to be in front of the Xuan Che Holy Woman and Sword Celestial Master.”

The Supreme Radiance Swordmaster and other sword cultivators also congratulated Luo Qingwu. So did the rest of the observers from the other sects and powers.

From the crowd, a youth in black said his congratulatory words in unison with the others and watched Luo Qingwu with a peaceful gaze.

Those around him were Nascent Soul Stage and Aurous Core Stage cultivators. Although the youth in black didn’t stand in a leading position, those who travelled with him regarded him as their leader.

The other sects and powers didn’t underestimate him either. Although this youth was only the second Immortal Soul Stage cultivator from the Ethereal Mountain Sect ever since it was established and was only in the beginning stages of the Immortal Soul Stage, his powers were enough to garner the attention of everyone.

This youth was Chu Yang.

During the internal strife of Mount Shu, he managed to form the Immortal Soul. He also shocked everyone when the Divine Lands counterattacked the Barren Expanses. His powers were beyond what everyone expected.

Chu Yang and the Ethereal Mountain Sect’s reputation caught the attention of the Divine Lands for the first time. The status of the Ethereal Mountain Sect also made a leap as they followed the Celestial Sect of Wonders closely.

Someone also slowly recalled Chu Yang’s black horse appearance during the Spiritual Conference of the Kunlun Mountains. But he was only an Aurous Core Stage cultivator then. Though he was talented and performed well, the bunch of Immortal Soul Stage elders then only offered him a few compliments.

But he had formed the Immortal Soul now and his powers were even greater than most ordinary Immortal Soul First Level cultivators. In terms of identity and abilities, he was on the same level as many leading elders of the other sects and powers.

He was from the Ethereal Mountain Sect. Not only was the Ethereal Mountain Sect inferior to the powerful sects and powers like the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Great Void Sect, Great Zhou Empire, Great Qin Empire and Mount Shu Sword Sects, they were not even comparable to the Heavenly Master Sword Sect, Lightning Sword Sect and Purple Clouds Sect. Even the Intense Flaming Sword Sect and Great Barrens Sword Sect were above them.

The founder of the Ethereal Mountain Sect perished not long after he set up the sect. After him, no Immortal Soul Stage cultivators had been nurtured before.

But today, Chu Yang had formed the Immortal Soul and the powers and reputation of the Ethereal Mountain Sect now had already surpassed their most prosperous period.

Although many knowledgeable cultivators could tell that his foundation wasn’t based on the Ethereal Mountain Sect when he fought with the demons, he was still an Ethereal Mountain Sect disciple. As his powers continued to grow, he learnt better how to protect himself. He also started to infuse many of the mantras he had into the Ethereal Mountain Sect and caused the overall powers of the Ethereal Mountain Sect to grow significantly.

This also caused the legend of Chu Yang to be even more exciting than most people.

But the attention on him was much lesser as he stood in the Grand Heavens Pavilion now.

Chu Yang wasn’t too bothered by this and remained very composed.

He also knew that once news of him possessing the Great Nine Heavens Holy Sword Technique spread, the Great Zhou Empire had the power to make it difficult for him even if the Mount Shu Sword Sect & Great Void Sect had no opinion and the East Heaven’s Gate couldn’t do anything about it without Shao Dongtian and the Xuan Heaven Sel.

Chu Yang was clearly aware of the connection between the Great Nine Heavens Holy Sword Technique and the Great Heavenly Mantra.

The only reason why he was safe now and the Great Zhou Empire hadn’t come to find trouble with him was because the Celestial Sect of Wonders backed him.

Chu Yang appeared to have raised his profile, but he remained very cautious. Even in the Barren Expanses, he travelled close to the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ disciples and refused to move alone. Even if the Great Zhou Empire ignored the Celestial Sect of Wonders, they couldn’t find a good opportunity to strike.

As he looked at Luo Qingwu now, he thought to himself, “Congratulations, Qingwu...”

Qingwu kept the jade token and bowed towards everyone, “Thank you all for the compliments.”

After she finished, she also left with her disciples and landed on a luminary beside Lin Feng.

Lin Feng’s eight Immediate Disciples faced eight different directions and the luminaries under them turned brighter and brighter. They finally turned into beams of light pillars that shot into the sky.

Lin Feng stood in the center of the light beams and smiled at everyone who came to observe the ceremony. He opened his mouth and said, “I am thankful for everyone for attending this ceremony.”

Everyone responded with formalities and turned to Xiao Yan and the 7 others around Lin Feng. The eight of them gathered together now and appeared even more awe-inspiring than when they appeared one by one.

After all, everyone knew that they couldn’t be treated normally even though they had all only recently formed the Immortal Soul.

Even for Yue Hongyan, Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang and Luo Qingwu who had just formed the Immortal Soul, they were already superior than other Immortal Soul First Level cultivators.

As for the Immortal Soul Second Level cultivators in the Divine Lands, how many of them were truly capable of defeating any of these four?

For Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao, their reputations were built on the countless corpses that have fallen in their hands.

The Cangming Swordmaster, Azure Sky Dragon King, Zhujian Grand Sage, Zhanming Hades, Ningfeng Hades, Juanlong Hades and Blazing Flames Dragon King all perished under the hands of Xiao Yan and the others and became their stepping stones to greatness.

Not even including Lin Feng, the eight Immediate Disciples of his formed an unparalleled force in the Divine Lands.

“There’s one more thing I have to do today besides conferring honorific titles.” Lin Feng smiled and looked at Xiao Yan and the others. “All of you are considered masters of your own now. I have some arrangements here for all of you.”

He pointed in void space and five light circles appeared. A strong aura exuded from these light circles.

Everyone present, apart from Gu Jun, all straightened their gazes.

As the radiances from the light circles dispersed, the Saros Magical Tree, Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain, Holy Dragon Heavenly Armor and Zu’e Holy Armor appeared.

The last item was a long sword that had a sword radiance that was as misty as clouds and surged like a river. The sword radiance seemed to watched all matter in the sky and also seemed to be the projection of everything in the Heavens and Earth that was reflected in the Heavens.

The Heavenly Master Swordmaster exclaimed, “Taiqing Ancient Sword?!”

This long sword was the Taiqing Ancient Sword that was as precious as the Tiangang Ancient Sword and Cangming Ancient Sword in the Mount Shu Sword Sect.

But what left the Heavenly Master Swordmaster and the rest who knew about the insider information shocked was that the Taiqing Ancient Sword was supposed to belong to the Great Void Sect. The Mount Shu Sword Sect had eyed it for years, but were unable to get it.

Everyone was unsure as they looked at the Taiqing Ancient Sword.

Lin Feng didn’t explain much either. He only watched as the figures of the sword, Saros Magical Tree and Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain appear. Beside the Taiqing Ancient Sword, a lady also appeared. She had an indistinct gaze and was the original soul of the Taiqing Ancient Sword.

“There’s 5 here. Another 3 will arrive later.” Lin Feng said slowly, “I hope that all of you will watch over my Immediate Disciples, but not just them alone. I hope that all of you can watch over their lineages too. It’s also a path that all of you can follow in the future; join them in their cultivation.”

As he spoke, his vision landed on the Holy Dragon Heavenly Armor. The scales of the armor fluttered and the entire armor shook.

Lin Feng said to Xiao Yan, “Xuan Yan, this treasure shall belong to the Inferno Precipice.”

Everyone around was slightly moved when they heard Lin Feng.

The Holy Dragon Heavenly Armor was once the Flame Dragon Celestial Armor. Right now, it was quite reputable too. After entering under Xiao Yan, there seems to be some sort of significance too.

It was also one of the earliest magic treasure known to the Celestial Sect of Wonders. The rumors also claim that Lin Feng cultivated it himself and it had followed Lin Feng’s Avatar of Ares since.

But although this magic treasure held an extraordinary significance, it was still in the metaplasia realm. It couldn’t compare to the Taiqing Ancient Sword, Saros Magical Tree and Dual Polarity Heavenly Mountain.

“He gave this magic treasure to Xiao Yan. Isn’t it a little...” Such a thought arose in everyone’s mind. But then Lin Feng slapped the armor suddenly.

In the next moment, a tall and burly man appeared above the armor. His skin revealed dragon scales. He was the projection of the Holy Dragon Heavenly Armor’s original soul.

Following this, the projection turned extremely bright and blinding radiances scattered. They lit up the surrounding void space and a magnificent and mystical force spread around. Concepts of the Great Dao combined with the armor and reached the original soul through the treasure’s original body.

As everyone watched in shock, the projection of this man seemed to turn real. As eh blinked, he seemed like a strong presence of life that was independent of the Heavens and Earth.

Everyone took in a deep breath, “Mahayana level magic treasure!”

Although there was a rumor once during the Anti-Celestial Sect War that Lin Feng could turn a metaplasia level magic treasure into a Mahayana level magic treasure, everyone was still shocked when they saw this scene.

Everyone was a little lost when they looked at the Holy Dragon Heavenly Armor before looking at Lin Feng who seemed indifferent.
