552: In terms of relationships, we still have to look to his master, Sanyuan!

"Congratulations on reaching the Peak of the Eighth Golden Body Realm!"

Liu Ruqing looked at her younger sister, not holding back her praise. Liu Xianyun truly deserved her commendation; a five-Realm increase in power would not have been possible without her own hard work, even with the Golden Summit Immortal Palace's aid.

"In my memory, this is the first time you've praised me."

Liu Xianyun had wished to hear this praise countless times, but all she ever received were more, and more difficult, trials. This wait lasted twenty years!

Liu Ruqing patted her hand and sighed softly, "In those years, you suffered. Your elder sister will compensate you in the future."

The two had now reconciled, and Liu Ruqing's change was significant.

Liu Xianyun was the same.

But none of that mattered anymore; after all, they had both returned to the correct Dao.

The closest of sisters, they didn't need to be separated by vast distances.

The two stood on the mountain Peak, their gazes fixed on the distance. A glint flashed in Liu Ruqing's beautiful eyes.

"He's here!"

Liu Ruqing was already an Immortal Realm Cultivator, her perception far surpassing Liu Xianyun's. From afar, she saw a flying boat approaching Dianxing Academy.

Upon hearing this, deep affection filled Liu Xianyun's eyes.

Six months. She had used Cultivation to keep herself from thinking about Shen Tianxing. Now that six months had passed, the one who captivated her heart and soul was finally returning... Inside Dianxing Academy, Shi Sanyuan and Gao Xingwu were, as usual, playing chess in a quiet courtyard.

Suddenly, a voice rang out in the courtyard.

"Academy Master Shi, Academy Master Gao, a distinguished guest has arrived. Prepare to welcome him!"

As the voice sounded, the two high-ranking Academy officials quickly rose and respectfully looked towards the direction of the Holy Mountain.

"It's the Academy Master's voice."

"Strange, who could possibly alarm the Academy Master? And to be called a distinguished guest by the Academy Master, that's rare!"

Gao Xingwu's Face was filled with surprise.

Dianxing Academy was a special type of Sect in the Five Domains. They rarely traveled to other parts of the Five Domains, but every Disciple who left quickly became famous in the Four Domains.

This was because the Cultivators who emerged from their Academy were generally not weak.

But precisely because of this, they had fewer dealings with other Sects, and even fewer Cultivators could alarm their Academy Master!

Even when the Three Saints of the Golden Crow visited, they didn't cause Liu Ruqing to be so solemn.

Shi Sanyuan put away the chess pieces and chuckled, "Who else could the Academy Master consider so important right now, besides Shen Tianxing? Let's go, inform the others, we'll prepare to welcome our distinguished guest!"

Six months ago, when Academy Master Liu Ruqing emerged from seclusion, she had expressed interest in Shen Tianxing.

Unfortunately, Shen Tianxing declined at that time, promising to visit again after six months.

If it were anyone else, they likely would never have another chance to visit.

You dare to refuse an invitation from the Academy Master of Dianxing Academy? Do you really think she doesn't care about Face?

But Shen Tianxing was different.

Sweeping through three Domains, and an Immortal Realm powerhouse himself, was enough for Liu Ruqing to take him seriously.

Gao Xingwu immediately followed Shi Sanyuan out.

Dianxing Academy was mainly divided into three departments and six halls!

They were the Supervision Department, the Martial Department, and the Literary Department. The six halls were the Hall of Rewards and Punishments, the Medicinal Pill Hall, the Divine Weapon Hall, the Formation Hall, the Self-Cultivation Hall, and the Skill Imparting Hall!

In reality, the three departments were where the Inner Sect Disciples resided, while the six halls were specifically established for outer Disciples.

Aside from the three department heads, the six hall masters held the same rank and were considered high-ranking officials within the entire Dianxing Academy!

Normally, Cultivators from other Sects would be received by the outer six halls. Only a few Sect Master-level figures would warrant the presence of the three department heads.

However, a figure who could command all high-ranking officials from the three departments and six halls to greet him had never appeared in the entire Five Domains.

Shen Tianxing was receiving unique treatment.

Soon, the high-ranking officials of the three departments and six halls arrived at a plaza outside the Academy.

Shen Tianxing's flying boat was landing there.

At this moment, Shi Linglong and the others in the small courtyard still didn't know that Shen Tianxing was about to arrive, and that even the high-ranking officials of the Academy's three departments and six halls had mobilized to greet him.

Meanwhile, inside and outside the Academy, the Academy's students and Cultivators from various other Domains watched this scene, all showing expressions of surprise.

They were all guessing who this important figure could be.

"What's happening? All the big shots from the three departments and six halls are here. Who are they preparing to welcome?"

"Who knows? Our Academy has been in the Northern Wilderness for so many years, and I've never seen anyone make them all come out to greet them. The person's identity must be significant."

"Could it be the Three Saints of the Golden Crow from the Central Domain? It seems besides those three, no other Sect Master gets such treatment."

"Are you stupid? Have you forgotten the situation in the other three Domains now? I think it can only be the Three Saints of the Golden Crow, otherwise, it can only be that one!"

"Which one? Could it be Shen... *hiss*!"

A name popped into a Disciple's mind, and then his eyes widened, as if he had seen an incredible sight.

Above the sky, a massive flying boat descended.

On the deck of the flying boat stood two figures.

The man was handsome and upright, his eyes like a river of stars, as if an immortal had descended from the heavens.

The woman was tall and exquisitely beautiful, her white robe accentuating her figure, bringing one word to everyone's mind.

Peerless grace!

No praise could describe her.

The appearance of this man and woman was the most captivating, making them seem as if they had walked out of a painting.

After one glance, it was impossible to forget them.

But this was merely their initial impression.

Soon, all the students and Cultivators looked at the young man's figure with immense shock.

"Shen Tianxing! It's him... Why is he coming to our Dianxing Academy?"

"It really is him. He... wasn't he in the Western Ridge? Didn't they say he had a great feud with the Holy Heaven Demon Sect? Why did he come to our Academy first?"

"No, it doesn't look like a tense situation. Look, the big shots from the three departments and six halls are going to greet them. Ah, they're here to welcome Shen Tianxing!"

The students were astonished, their minds struggling to process it.

They had thought that Shen Tianxing's arrival in the Northern Wilderness meant he was about to sweep through the Fourth Domain.

And Dianxing Academy would be the unlucky one chosen.

Unexpectedly, the course of events was completely different from what they had imagined!

"Mr. Shen, Miss Yan, your visit truly brings glory to our Academy."

Wen Siqing, the head of the Literary Department, said with a smile.

When it came to eloquence, Gao Xingwu and Shi Sanyuan certainly couldn't compare to Wen Siqing, so he took the lead in speaking.

"This old fellow, he really knows how to seize an opportunity!"

Shi Sanyuan pouted, looking displeased.

However, he immediately started to smile.

Being eloquent was sometimes useless. Who didn't know that his granddaughter, Shi Linglong, had an extremely close relationship with Shen Tianxing?

Who didn't know that the group of young women Shen Tianxing brought were all staying at his house?

When it came to connections, it still depended on his, Shi Sanyuan's!
