Nine Spirit Realm, Xuanwu Heavenly Palace.
On this day, the mountain gate opened wide, celestial music played in harmony, divine cranes danced in the sky, and golden boys and jade maidens led the way hand in hand. Numerous Heavenly Palace Divine Generals held banners and paving signs to guard the sides, showcasing a grand spectacle of distinguished guests arriving.
Indeed, a distinguished guest had truly arrived.
The tenth strongest in the two domains, the foremost sword cultivator across both, the only Swordsmanship Master, and the sole inheritor of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion—Dari Swordsman himself—had descended upon this place today.
Setting allegiances aside, this Heavenly Monarch's visit to any Immortal Sect would warrant such an extravagant welcome. It adhered to etiquette for a sect's Great Experts to personally greet him or send avatars in his stead.
However, for Xuanwu Heavenly Palace to do the same, it came with an air of dark irony.
