After completing his cultivation of the Hunyuan Hand, Lin Yun calculated the time and realised there was still a period before the ceremony began.
“I might as well continue cultivating my divine sense.”
Lin Yun’s divine sense had already reached the first tier of the Immeasurable level. With the lower portion of the Star God Diagram, he was confident he could advance further.
Having made up his mind, Lin Yun entered a state of cultivation once more and began condensing and visualising the Star God Diagram.
…
While Lin Yun cultivated in peace,
the Ancestral Land, and indeed the entire human race, was anything but calm.
Thanks to the deliberate spreading of the news by the master of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, word that Lin Yun was rebuilding Wuji Heavenly Palace in the Ancestral Heart Realm soon reached every corner.
In a certain tavern in the Ancestral Heart Realm.
“I hear the rebuilt Wuji Heavenly Palace is personally led by Lin Yun, and two Golden Supremes have joined it. Even the elf clan and the beastman tribe are forming an alliance with them.”
“If that is true, then this Wuji Heavenly Palace will be extremely powerful.”
“Yes, yes, yes. With the backing of two great allies, it could absolutely become the third major power in the Ancestral Land, perhaps even forming a tripartite balance with the Dao Alliance and the six great forces.”
“This is not bad news at all. For human cultivators, it means another choice, another place to go.”
…
Conversations like these were taking place in inns and taverns across many parts of the human territories.
After the earth-shaking events Lin Yun had caused in Chaos City, discussion about him had already been intense. Now that he was establishing his own force, people naturally paid even closer attention.
Time passed, and the day of the grand opening ceremony for Wuji Heavenly Palace soon arrived.
Inside Wuji Heavenly Palace.
Today, the palace was bustling with activity.
The entire Wuji Heavenly Palace was decorated with lanterns and coloured banners, filled with a festive atmosphere.
On the palace square, a banquet had been laid out. Whether old members of the new Wuji Heavenly Palace or cultivators who had recently joined, all were gathered here.
Of course, Muli and the Sixth Prince had arrived several days earlier.
The great protective formation of Wuji Heavenly Palace had also been completed a few days before.
Lin Yun walked to the front of the square.
“Greetings, Palace Master!” Everyone present bowed towards Lin Yun and shouted in unison.
From this day forward, Lin Yun was no longer the young master of Wuji Heavenly Palace, but its current palace master.
Looking at the lively scene, Lin Yun felt a surge of emotion.
He very much wanted to say to the former palace master of Wuji Heavenly Palace, “The restoration you longed for, I have achieved!”
“Everyone,” Lin Yun declared, “I, Lin Yun, announce that Wuji Heavenly Palace is officially established today. From now on, we are all part of Wuji Heavenly Palace, sharing honour and disgrace alike!”
“Furthermore, our Wuji Heavenly Palace will form an alliance with Muli of the beastman tribe and the elf clan. Should any one of us face difficulty, the other two parties will provide full assistance!” Lin Yun’s voice rang out powerfully.
Next, Lin Yun announced the appointments to various positions, from vice palace masters to elders.
Aside from Zou Dongsheng as grand elder, An Yun was specially appointed as a red-robed elder. Hong Yuan, Dong Jian, and Manor Lord Wu were also named elders, each responsible for different affairs.
After the speech ended, the banquet officially began.
At the foremost table,
Muli, the Sixth Prince, Feiying Jinjun, Huimie Jinjun, Zou Dongsheng, An Yun, Hong Yuan, Dong Jian, and Manor Lord Wu all took their seats.
This table represented the current core leadership of Wuji Heavenly Palace.
After finishing his speech, Lin Yun also came to this table and sat down.
“Brother Lin Yun, congratulations on successfully establishing your own force!” Muli said in celebration.
The Sixth Prince smiled and raised his cup. “Lin Yun, from now on in the Ancestral Heart Realm, you are the strongest power. As for the rules the Dao Alliance and the six great forces once set here, you can ignore them entirely. On the contrary, if they wish to step into the Ancestral Heart Realm in future, they will have to think twice.”
“I truly have you all to thank for your help and support,” Lin Yun said with a smile, raising his cup to clink with theirs.
After draining the cup,
“Feiying Jinjun, Huimie Jinjun, now that Wuji Heavenly Palace is officially established, if you know of any reclusive Supremes, you may try inviting them to join. After all, our Wuji Heavenly Palace is different from the Dao Alliance and the six great forces. We can offer them a third choice,” Lin Yun said.
Lin Yun knew that some Supremes lived in seclusion because they were weary of worldly strife, while others simply wished to join neither the Dao Alliance nor the six great forces.
