Grand Banquet

Initially, when Gu Chenxian contacted Ye Ji and received a response, he thought she and Fire Enchantress might have encountered some misfortune.

Now it seems, this isn't some misfortune; it's clearly that they've been captivated by his Master's charm.

Of course, he had no thoughts of blame in his heart.

Instead, he felt a bit of relief.

He had personally experienced just how unfathomably profound his Master's strength was.

If the two of them had truly offended Phoenix Feather Sect badly, their fate would be obvious; besides death, there would likely be no second path.

Not only that, but his relationship with his Master might also develop a rift because of it.

This current situation is quite good.

At this moment, Zhong Qing was also quite surprised, even a bit speechless.

Although he knew that Fire Enchantress had previously come to Phoenix Feather Sect to spy on him.

But he didn't expect that the other party, affected by her Charm (Charm) physique, would be exaggerated to such an extent.

She was even more so than Ye Ji.

As for whether to bring Fire Enchantress under his command, he was inwardly against it.

After all, whether it was Ye Ji or Fire Enchantress, they were both his precious Disciple's people.

He naturally wouldn't do something so unseemly as snatching away people from his Disciple's command.

At this time, Gu Chenxian spoke, "Master, speaking of which, this Fire Enchantress and Ye Ji met me ten thousand years ago, and we have quite a connection. Now, they both wish to follow you, Master. I hope Master can take them in."

"Regardless of their abilities or character, they are both trustworthy."

Fire Enchantress heard her Young Master speak up for her, and she gratefully glanced at Gu Chenxian, then looked at Zhong Qing with an eager gaze, speaking again, "Please, Young Master, take me in!"

Ye Ji, at the side, also spoke up at the opportune moment, "Young Master, please accept her!"

"She, like me, loves Young Master dearly."

"If Young Master refuses, she might spend the rest of her life in endless longing, unable to find peace."

"Just pity her, please!"

As one after another pleaded for Fire Enchantress, Zhong Qing finally carefully examined Fire Enchantress.

After a moment of thought, he said, "Since that's the case, from now on, you will stay by my side, just like Ye Ji!"

"As for being a servant or maid, there's no need!"

"If you two don't mind, from now on, you can be my Sword Attendants!"

Upon hearing this, Fire Enchantress was overjoyed.

"Thank you, Young Master!"

During this time, she had missed Zhong Qing terribly.

As long as she could stay by his side, she didn't care at all about what she would specifically do.

What Zhong Qing originally thought would be a disaster ended in this manner.

The unexpected outcome caught him a bit off guard.

To give the two women something to do.

He even took out his Natal Divine Weapon, Zero Seal.

The wonder of Zero Seal was that it could transform in countless ways.

Then he divided it into two, formally handing it to the two women.

At this moment, Ye Ji and Fire Enchantress were undoubtedly quite excited.

They could feel the extraordinary nature of this Divine Weapon.

Holding this Divine Weapon, they even felt a sense of close contact with Zhong Qing.

It was as if this Divine Weapon was Zhong Qing, and Zhong Qing was this Divine Weapon.

A sacred sense of mission arose spontaneously.

From this moment on, they secretly swore in their hearts that, even if it meant sacrificing their lives, they would protect this Divine Weapon well in the future.

At this moment, Zhong Qing spoke to Gu Chenxian.

"I originally wanted to bring you back to recognize the Sect after you finished your task!"

"It's a blessing in disguise; since you're here, I, your Master, will host a welcoming banquet for you!"

"Consider it an introduction to the Sect and all your Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters."

"To avoid any future misunderstandings!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chenxian naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Thank you, Master!"

For Phoenix Feather Sect to host a grand banquet for the entire Sect, the resources consumed would be absolutely massive for some smaller Sects.

After all, this was a feast for over two million Disciples.

But for Phoenix Feather Sect, such a small consumption was simply not worth worrying about.

Phoenix Feather Sect now, compared to before Zhong Qing arrived, was already incomparable.

Not only had its reputation spread throughout the entire Void Domain, but it also had affiliated forces like Intercepting Heaven Sect.

Over this period, many other Sects had applied to become affiliated Sects of Phoenix Feather Sect.

The tributes paid by these affiliated Sects each year were immense.

Even if one day Zhong Qing was no longer in the Sect, the tributes submitted by these affiliated forces would be entirely sufficient to meet Phoenix Feather Sect's daily needs.

The banquet arrangements were personally handled by Phoenix Aotian, who led the efforts.

He could sense that his Master's newly accepted Disciple had an origin that was somewhat beyond imagination.

After all, the existence of a Great Saint Peak was not something every domain in the entire Three Thousand Domains of the Lower Realm could produce.

His grandson, Phoenix Tian, was a True Disciple of the Master, and the two sides should foster closer ties.

This way, if they encountered problems in the future, they would have someone to rely on.

A banquet for over two million people was held boisterously in Phoenix Feather Sect.

Gu Chenxian was also surprised when he learned that he actually had over two million Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters.

This number was simply too exaggerated.

In his impression, even in the Upper Realm, no one would accept so many Disciples.

Could it be?

Is Master from the ancient era?

In the ancient era, myriad races stood, and the Human Race was weak, only able to survive in the cracks.

Life was far more difficult than imagined.

The entire civilization could face the disaster of extinction at any time.

There were ancient sages who enlightened all living beings in heaven and earth, selflessly enlightened the ignorant Human Race, taught them methods of cultivation, and answered their difficulties in cultivation.

Such people were called the teachers of ancient sages.

It seems his Master is following this path.

Of course, he wasn't sure about the specifics.

He was just more curious and surprised about Zhong Qing's mysterious origin!

This grand banquet!

It lasted for three days!

Three days also allowed Gu Chenxian to gain a more comprehensive understanding of Zhong Qing.

At the same time, he also learned that he had five other True Disciple Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters under his Master.

Each one seemed to have different abilities.

Everyone here held their Master in great respect!

Their gazes towards their Master were filled with respect and adoration.

He was very familiar with this kind of gaze.

He had once felt this kind of gaze from the people in the True Domain when he was there.

However, compared to that, the respect and adoration of Phoenix Feather Sect's Disciples for Zhong Qing were purer and more fervent.

It was as if Zhong Qing's existence was a light in their lives, their faith and hope.

Moreover, Gu Chenxian also really liked the atmosphere here.

There was no infighting, no hidden malice, and no schemes.

The entire Sect, from top to bottom, was harmonious, and everyone helped each other.

He had only felt this kind of atmosphere when he first arrived in the Lower Realm from the Upper Realm, in that small Sect in the True Domain.

But human hearts are often complex.

That his Master could teach over two million Disciples to be united; just this point alone made him feel inferior.
