Divine King of Honour

Although the Tianhen Star Domain is a Loose Cultivator realm, it does not mean it lacks sects.

However, the sects are mixed and numerous.

Compared to the Four Great Sects, these inconspicuous small sects are naturally akin to Loose Cultivators.

Among them, the Tiande Sect is ranked among the top five forces in the Tianhen Star Domain, occupying the entire Tiande Star.

In the Tianhen Star Domain, it also holds a significant position.

Shi Guangxu grew up here, and the Tiande Sect Master is his aunt.

However, he later rebelled, escaped from the Tiande Sect, and never returned.

It has been decades since he left.

This time, the Guihai Family hosted the Earth Immortal feast, surely inviting the Tiande Sect.

Shi Guangxu intends to use this connection to hide his identity and visit the Tiande Sect.

"Stop, who are you?"

Just as Xu Nian and the others arrived at the entrance of the Tiande Sect, they were stopped by two disciples.

Xu Nian glanced at these disciples guarding the entrance and discovered their Cultivation was in the Cave Void Realm.

Disciples at the Cave Void Realm guarding the sect entrance, it seems the Tiande Sect's strength is indeed not weak.

"I'm looking for your Sect Leader!" Shi Guangxu glanced at the two disciples and said.

"Looking for our Sect Leader? The Sect Leader and the Elders are discussing important matters in the main hall. May I know your esteemed name?" The two disciples had evidently checked Xu Nian and Shi Guangxu's Cultivation.

They found nothing they could discern, naturally knowing Xu Nian and his company's strength greatly surpassed theirs, so they dared not show disrespect.

If they were esteemed guests of the Sect Leader, they would be in big trouble.

"Is the Sect Leader in the Chenghe Hall? I'll go find her directly." Shi Guangxu took out a token from the storage ring.

The two disciples' faces changed instantly upon seeing the token and knelt down respectfully: "Tiande Sect Yellow-ranked disciple greets the lord. Please enter, my lord."

Shi Guangxu did not say much more, but confidently walked past the two disciples towards the inner gate.

All these sects have formations around them; without passing through the gate, it's impossible to enter the inner sect.

Of course, forcibly breaking through the formation could also allow entry, but Xu Nian and his group were not there to cause trouble.

Seeing the familiar sights around them, Shi Guangxu maintained a rare silence.

Xu Nian didn't speak either. He knew the scene was stirring memories for Shi Guangxu.

Thus, Xu Nian and his company walked slowly.

Xu Nian did not rush them, and along the way, they encountered quite a few sect disciples.

Xu Nian noticed their chests embroidered with different characters — some were Yellow, some were Xuan, some were Earth, and some were Heaven.

Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang!

Those ranked with the Heaven character were at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage.

Those ranked with the Earth character were at the Heavenly Phenomenon Stage.

Those ranked with the Xuan character were at the Harmonization Stage.

As for those ranked with the Yellow character were at the Cave Void Stage.

Seeing such an arrangement, Xu Nian was reminded of the Qinglin Academy, where competition was equally intense.

The appearance of Xu Nian and Shi Guangxu also attracted many disciples.

Most disciples respectfully greeted them because they couldn't discern Xu Nian and his company's Cultivation.

No arrogant disciples forcefully intervened either.

Thus, Xu Nian and Shi Guangxu walked directly to the deepest part of the Tiande Sect's Chenghe Hall.

However, before they even entered, they heard sounds of argument emanating from within the hall.

Xu Nian and Shi Guangxu furrowed their brows and walked towards the main hall.

At this moment, there were five people standing inside the hall.

Among them, four elder men wearing gray robes stood below; their identical attire indicated they were the Elders of the Tiande Sect.

In front of them stood a woman dressed in purple.

The woman appeared to be a mature lady, her looks carrying a charm of maturity.

If Shi Guangxu saw her, he would definitely recognize her as his aunt.

"Sect Leader, this matter must not proceed. You are injured and have yet to recover. This time the Guihai gathering, the Mountain Sea Sect will definitely attend. Conflict is inevitable," an Elder spoke.

"Hmph, old lady fears her? If I see her, I will slaughter her." The woman's eyes were fierce, filled with strong anger.

Originally, her Immortal Body transformation was almost complete, yet the Mountain Sea Sect Master struck her with a spear, leaving a Heavenly Dao Scar; not only did she fail to complete her Immortal Body, but her Cultivation plummeted.

She always remembered this feud and was someone who would seek revenge for every grievance. Upon seeing the Mountain Sea Sect Master, it was impossible for her to let him go.

But now, she couldn't afford to fight desperately; otherwise, her injuries would worsen, even risking her life.

So the sect Elders tried persuading her, advising her not to attend the feast.

Yet she was maddeningly stubborn, fearing others would think she was afraid of the Mountain Sea Sect Master if she didn't attend.

"Sect Leader, your injuries are really severe, the sect cannot do without you. If anything happens to you, what will we do? Better let me accompany you," the Great Elder said emotionally.

"Great Elder, you needn't say more. I must go this time, though I promise you I won't act recklessly. Of course, if that guy provokes me, I wouldn't mind perishing with him." The Tiande Sect Master said.

The Great Elder sighed upon hearing this.

The other three Elders shook their heads.

"Whoever dares to hurt my aunt, I will slaughter him."

At this moment, a voice came from outside the hall.

The Tiande Sect Master quickly turned around, and upon seeing the figure entering the doorway, her eyes welled up.

The four Elders were also stunned, not expecting this person to appear here.

"Aunt, I've returned!" Shi Guangxu said heartfully.

The Tiande Sect Master's eyes were a bit red, her nostrils sniffled slightly, then she glared at Shi Guangxu, shouting: "Hmph, you still know how to return, didn't you say you'll never come back to my Tiande Sect?"

"Surely this kid has caused some trouble outside and returned here to hide," the Third Elder mocked.

He had never liked this kid; Shi Guangxu was always causing trouble, and in his view, would never amount to anything.

Shi Guangxu frowned upon hearing this.

"Shut up, my nephew is not for you to reprimand." Before Shi Guangxu could speak, the Tiande Sect Master shouted directly.

The Third Elder had no choice but to shut up.

He knew the Sect Master never gave up searching for Shi Guangxu, dispatching countless disciples over the years.

The previous remark was mere words of frustration.

"Aunt, I've returned haven't I? Look, my Cultivation has broken through to the Late Stage Tribulation Crossing, only a step away from the Peak of Tribulation Crossing." Shi Guangxu grinned cheekily.

The Tiande Sect Master finally noticed Shi Guangxu's Cultivation, revealing a surprised expression.

This kid progressed fast?

He left while just in the Cave Void Realm, and within a few decades has reached the Late Stage Tribulation Crossing.

The other four Elders were also surprised, clearly stunned by Shi Guangxu's Cultivation speed.

"Returning is good, now I can report to your mother," the Tiande Sect Master said happily.

"Aunt, I can feel the injuries on you, who hurt you?" Shi Guangxu asked, his eyes carrying a chill.

"Who else, the old foe who killed your mother, last time when I sought revenge, I was injured, but rest assured, I will avenge your mother," the Tiande Sect Master said emotionally.

"Mountain Sea Sect!" Shi Guangxu clenched his fist, his eyes filled with Killing Intent.

Beside him, Xu Nian began to understand, realizing the complexities of the grievances involved.

However, one thing was certain, the Tiande Sect Master's injuries were severe.

She probably has less than ten years left to live.
