“Greetings, Sect Leader!”
“Greetings, Sect Leader!”
One by one, the people of Heavenly Gate spoke to Lu Ye.
Their attitude was quite respectful; of course, with a Celestial Venerable reborn, how could they not be respectful?
That kind of arrogant, condescending attitude towards a new Sect Leader also exists in the cultivation world, but it’s basically impossible to appear in Heavenly Gate.
Heavenly Gate is composed of elites.
Lu Ye nodded, looking at these faces that were both familiar and unfamiliar.
This person, it seems, was killed by his sword.
This person, it seems, had his head shattered by his fist.
This person, it seems, was refined to death using a formation.
This person...
Lu Ye gently shook his head, casting aside the jumbled thoughts from his previous life.
“Thank you all for coming to help; Lu Ye will remember it in his heart,” Lu Ye said with a smile.
“Hahaha, Sect Leader is too polite, we are all one family, if the Sect Leader is in trouble, it is our duty to help!” Ning Tianming said with a smile.
Ning Tianming is the current Sect Leader of Heavenly Gate in the Fifth Heaven, with formidable strength and naturally top-tier intelligence.
His Bright Light Limitless Body can be said to be maxed out in both offense and defense.
In his previous life, Lu Ye also had to rely on a formation to refine him to death.
Of course, Lu Ye was still weak back then.
“Then let me first check who these dead soldiers belong to.”
Lu Ye walked up to the corpses whose bodies were rapidly decaying and souls dissolving.
He quickly formed hand seals, and soon, a blurry light appeared from within the decaying bodies.
“From Mingfo Temple!”
Following the same method.
“From Myriad Ancient Sect, my old friends!”
“From Sea of Cang Sect!”
“From Linlang Yao Cliff!”
“From Mochen!”
...
One by one, the names of forces were spoken from Lu Ye’s mouth.
The people of Heavenly Gate looked at each other, if they had any doubts about Lu Ye being a Celestial Venerable in his previous life before, now there wasn't a single doubt left.
Because Lu Ye had just ascended to the Fifth Heaven, how could he know so many forces?
Now, being able to identify the force based on just a wisp of special aura, undoubtedly proved that Lu Ye was extremely familiar with these forces.
“I’ve noted it down, let’s leave first.”
Now that they used dead soldiers to target him, Lu Ye would naturally retaliate, but not yet, as his strength was too weak now.
“Then shall we return to Heavenly Gate first?”
Lu Ye nodded.
Upon reaching the Fifth Heaven, Great Dao Sect had almost disappeared without a trace.
Even if Lu Ye went to Great Dao Sect, it would only bring disaster to them, so it was better to go to Heavenly Gate.
Anyway, Heavenly Gate is powerful.
Buddhism, which was rare in the first four Heavens, became a top-tier force in the Fifth Heaven.
The Undying Realm in Buddhism is called Arhat, and Buddhism claims to have three thousand Arhats.
What kind of concept is this?
Three thousand Undying Realm experts!
Of course, there is definitely some exaggeration in this, but it is enough to prove the strength of Buddhism.
A group of people flew out of the Ascension Star.
Heavenly Gate also has its own exclusive star, named Tianmen Star.
However, just after leaving the Ascension Star, a group of strong individuals were waiting in the Void outside.
But these strong individuals were different from those dead soldiers; their faces were all adorned with kind smiles.
Lu Ye raised an eyebrow.
The people of Heavenly Gate also became vigilant.
“Fellow Daoists, no need to be nervous, we have no ill intentions, we just heard that Fellow Daoist Lu Ye ascended and specifically waited here.”
Lu Ye recognized the person who spoke.
It was Daoist Pingyong of Myriad Ancient Sect.
Although his name was Pingyong (Mediocre), he was not mediocre at all.
Daoist Pingyong was the Deputy Sect Leader of Myriad Ancient Sect, and the others were also prominent figures from various sects.
Lu Ye’s figure appeared at the forefront.
“What are you waiting for me for?” Lu Ye asked.
“It is to show that whether it is Myriad Ancient Sect in the Third Heaven or Myriad Ancient Sect in the Fourth Heaven, although they have some connection with Myriad Ancient Sect in the Fifth Heaven, they are definitely not one entity.”
“The Myriad Ancient Sect in the lower realm was evil and greedy, and became enemies with Fellow Daoist.
We also tried to persuade them, but they were unwilling to listen, and we were powerless.”
“During the period when Myriad Ancient Sect in the Fourth ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) Heaven hunted Fellow Daoist, our Myriad Ancient Sect in the Fifth Heaven did not provide any help.
Now, our Myriad Ancient Sect in the Fifth Heaven does not want to be enemies with Fellow Daoist, but instead is willing to become friends with Fellow Daoist.
We hope Fellow Daoist will see clearly!”
“This is the apology expressed by our Myriad Ancient Sect for the recklessness of the lower realm forces, please accept it with a smile!”
They came to make peace.
No, it wasn’t exactly making peace, they came to state their position.
Lu Ye couldn’t help but find it quite strange.
It was genuinely strange.
He had heard of showing courtesy before resorting to force, but this kind of situation, resorting to force first and then showing courtesy, was truly the first time he had encountered it.
If he hadn't found members of Myriad Ancient Sect among the dead soldiers just now, Lu Ye would have really thought that Myriad Ancient Sect had a change of heart and didn't want to die anymore.
Fortunately, fortunately, Myriad Ancient Sect was still the Myriad Ancient Sect that wanted to die.
If Myriad Ancient Sect really didn’t want to die anymore, Lu Ye would be a little sad.
However, a smile appeared on his face.
He seemed quite satisfied with Myriad Ancient Sect’s actions.
“I also noticed that you did not provide assistance to Myriad Ancient Sect in the Fourth Heaven.
It seems you truly do not want to be enemies with me; we were not enemies to begin with.”
“Then I won’t be polite about the gifts.”
How could Lu Ye refuse something delivered to his doorstep?
Daoist Pingyong also couldn’t help but let out a slight sigh of relief.
“Fellow Daoist is discerning, and we hope that in the future, Myriad Ancient Sect and Fellow Daoist can coexist harmoniously!”
Lu Ye nodded.
Besides Myriad Ancient Sect, the others who came were also like this.
Many forces span across several Heavens.
If the people below caused trouble, the people above also bear responsibility.
Some people genuinely didn't want to provoke Lu Ye anymore; their Dao lineages were not easily formed, and they truly didn't want to be enemies with a reborn Celestial Venerable.
Others were different.
Just like that, unlike the previous ascensions that involved fighting and killing, this ascension, although it had some twists and turns, immediately provided Lu Ye with a batch of resources upon arrival.
Whether they were enemies or friends, Lu Ye accepted everything they gave.
Everyone appeared harmonious and friendly.
Lu Ye continued to leave with Heavenly Gate.
The starry sky of the Fifth Heaven is extremely vast.
Traveling through the star river, one feels incredibly small.
If one were to see such a sight for the first time, they would definitely gain great insights.
Unfortunately, Lu Ye had seen it all before.
There were no further incidents along the way.
They returned to Tianmen Star.
Everyone in Heavenly Gate came to pay their respects.
Among them was Drunken Sword Daoist.
Heavenly Gate’s influence in the Fifth Heaven had greatly increased, with a total of over a hundred people, most of whom were powerful experts.
Looking at the people he had killed in the past, Lu Ye actually felt a little embarrassed.
Forget it, give them some compensation.
“There is nothing urgent today.
Since everyone is here, if you are willing, I will speak about the Great Dao.
Are you all willing to listen?”
Lu Ye sat in the main seat, speaking with a faint smile on his face.
Everyone immediately became excited.
A Celestial Venerable speaking about the Dao!
They had heard from Dao Traces Great Emperor that Lu Ye’s Great Dao was even more powerful than his.
Certified by a Great Emperor himself!
“We are willing!”
Lu Ye nodded, and the Enlightenment Tree soared into the sky, growing against the wind, directly enveloping the entire palace.
