Five days later.
Nandang Swamp, Bamboo Island.
On the mountain ridge stood the Flying Palace Cloud Hall and Mystic Carriage. Over five hundred disciples from the Mingcang Sect aligned themselves with the mountain's contours, awaiting beside the mountain path.
The island was filled with enchanting fragrances, where peculiar flowers bloomed abundantly. Below the mountain path, jade stairs paved the ground, colorful pearls draped as adornments. Above, a Hua tent shielded the dust while silk curtains covered the skies. At the summit, four Hua Gai were erected, a reed hut constructed in the center, enshrining a Golden Furnace burning Immortal Incense alongside Treasure Spiritual Fruits.
Standing foremost among the Third Generation Disciples, Qi Yuntian led the front. Turning his gaze backward, his eyes swept past the gathered disciples down to the mountain's base.
