As soon as I entered the hall, a young man in a white robe came to greet me. He bowed to me and said respectfully, "Sage, this way, please."
I had already gotten used to hearing Wang Can call me 'Sage', but I didn't recognize this young man. Hearing him call me Sage, I felt a little awkward, but I didn't say anything. I just nodded and followed him into the hall.
There were many winding corridors in the hall. It was like a labyrinth with hundreds of twists and turns. It was very complicated.
If I had come here alone, I would have been confused. It was no wonder that Wang Can had left someone here to guide me.
There was no scenery in the hall. I looked at the young man who was leading the way. He seemed to be in his twenties, but he had the Glorious Knowledge cultivation base. I couldn't help but feel surprised.
The Glorious Knowledge cultivation base wasn't low. In Longhu Mountain, it was enough to be a hall master. Apart from the Heavenly Masters who rarely showed up, the Glorious Knowledge cultivation base was considered the backbone of the Metaphysics world.
Moreover, this young man should be a rare genius in the Metaphysics world.
I was curious, so I asked, "What's your name?"
The young man in the white robe turned his head. His face was still respectful as he answered in a low voice, "My name is Chen Neng."
Such a talented young man was just a servant of the Wang family. I couldn't help but sigh at the profound heritage of the Blessed Enclave.
However, after thinking about it, even a Yang God Celestial Master like Ah Fu was just a servant of the Wang family. This young man was nothing.
I nodded and didn't say anything. I motioned for him to continue leading the way.
After walking for a few minutes, I saw a hall in front of me. Chen Neng walked to the door and bowed, indicating that I had arrived.
As soon as I entered the hall, Wang Can came to greet me. He greeted me with a smile and said, "The banquet has begun. Sage, you've finally arrived."
"The banquet has begun?
Have the guests from the other Blessed Enclaves arrived? "I asked.
Before coming here, Wang Can had told me that we were going to participate in the Heavenly Grand Ritual and that the guests from the other Blessed Enclaves would come.
Wang Can nodded and said, "The Heavenly Grand Ritual will begin in three days. The Blessed Enclaves are scattered all over the place. Half a month ago, people arrived one after another.
I've been taking care of guests for the past few days, so I'm really busy. Otherwise, I would've personally welcomed you just now. "
I shook my head. "If you have something to do, then do it. There's no need for me to participate in this banquet.
Apart from you, I don't know anyone else in the Blessed Enclave. "
When Wang Can heard that, he said, "How can we do that?
My Wang Family is only the Holy Spirit Guard of the Sage. You can represent the Wang Family more. During the Heavenly Grand Ritual, I will announce your identity. From now on, the people of the Blessed Paradise will treat you as the Wang Family's Patriarch.
Sage, you must attend this banquet. "
I was bewildered. After thinking for a while, I denied Wang Can's words.
"It's better not to introduce me to them … I have disputes with many forces in the metaphysics world outside. Although the Blessed Enclave is hidden from the world, it is also inextricably linked to the metaphysics world. I don't want to implicate the Wangwu Grotto-Heaven because of me."
After hearing my words, Wang Can was a little confused. He didn't seem to agree with me, so he said, "The mortal world is connected to the Blessed Enclave, but why should we care about them?
To the Blessed Enclave, the mortal world is like a cultivator to an ordinary person. Sage, you're overthinking things. "
He didn't care about the mortal world and always felt that he was superior. However, I knew that there were existences in the mortal world that they couldn't afford to provoke. For example, the current Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu and the Patriarch of the Metaphysics Society.
So, I shook my head and insisted on my opinion.
When Wang Can saw that I had made up my mind, he nodded and agreed. Then, he asked me, "How should I introduce myself to the outsiders?"
After a brief discussion, we decided that I would be the Wang Family's Foreign Minister.
If I were the Wang Family's Foreign Minister, I wouldn't need to attend today's banquet. However, Wang Can insisted that I go. I also wanted to see what was so special about the other Blessed Enclaves. So, I decided to attend the banquet.
After making the decision, Wang Can and I walked into the hall together.
After a few steps, I was stunned. I raised my head and looked at the corridor in front of me. On both sides of the corridor stood a row of young girls in palace dresses. They were holding lotus lanterns in their hands, which were the source of light in the hall.
I was surprised by the number of maids and their motionless postures. However, when I took a closer look, I found that those girls weren't real people but stone statues. However, they were very lifelike, and their skin color was no different from that of ordinary people. They were also wearing silk palace dresses. At first glance, they could be mistaken for real.
When Wang Can saw that I had noticed those statues, he smiled and said, "Sage, the banquet is in front of us. Dozens of people from the Blessed Enclave have arrived and are waiting there."
I waved my hand. "If you want to hide your identity, you don't need to call me Sage anymore. Just call me Brother Zhou."
Wang Can seemed to be a little uncomfortable. After hesitating for a while, he finally said, "Brother … Brother Zhou, let's go in."
I nodded and pushed open a heavy door with complicated carvings.
The door seemed to have good soundproofing. At first, it was quiet, but when I pushed open the door, a wave of sound hit my face.
I looked up and saw a spacious hall behind the door. It was decorated in an antique style, and there were rows of red-painted pillars around it.
In the middle of the hall, short and exquisite long tables were placed in a regular pattern. There were dozens of them.
At this moment, people were sitting cross-legged at each table. They were eating and talking. Many of them even stood up to talk to the people at the other tables.
They were the ones who had made the loud sound in the hall.
I sensed their cultivation base and found it strange. Except for a few people who had the aura of a Heavenly Master, most of them were below the Heavenly Master Realm.
How could the cultivation base of those people from the Blessed Enclave be so low?
At this moment, Wang Can whispered to me, "Those are the servants and attendants from the Blessed Enclave. Sage … Brother Zhou, don't mind them. Let's go to the inner room. The people from the Blessed Enclave are waiting there."
I understood now. No wonder those people in the hall didn't have a high cultivation base and looked young. They were just attendants.
Speaking of attendants, those people's cultivation base wasn't low. Half of them had the Heavenly Master Realm, and the rest had the Glorious Knowledge Realm. In the secular world, they were a powerful force.
The most frightening thing about the so-called Blessed Enclave wasn't the Heavenly Masters or the Yang God Celestial Masters, but the servants and attendants.
The Glorious Knowledge Realm was a very high cultivation base in the secular world, but it was ordinary in this place.
It was because of their strong foundation that their overall strength was so terrifying.
I nodded and glanced around before walking in.
As soon as we entered the room, those people seemed to hear us. They all turned around and looked at me and Wang Can.
Since our statuses were different, Wang Can didn't pay attention to those people. He didn't even look at them. He just took me past them and went to the other side of the hall. There was also a huge wooden door carved with complicated patterns.
Since I had to hide my identity, I was just a Foreign Officer of the Wang family, so it wasn't appropriate for me to walk in front of Wang Can. This time, Wang Can walked in front of me. After pushing the door open, he walked in first, and I followed behind him.
Just like in the hall outside, there were also some short tables placed here, only divided into two rows. The people inside sat at each table, and there were also people chatting, but because there were fewer people inside, it was not as noisy as outside.
After we walked in, we also attracted everyone's attention.
However, most of their eyes were focused on Wang Can, and no one paid attention to me.
I followed behind him. While walking forward, I observed the people from the other paradises and blessed lands.
Among those people, some were wearing old-fashioned cotton shirts, some were wearing suits and ties, and some were dressed casually. However, most of them were wearing Daoist robes like Wang Can.
Since the 'Heavenly Dipper Nine Steps' contained the 'Bright Insight' technique, I could easily see other people's cultivation base.
He scanned the surroundings roughly. Among the people he saw, there were rarely any ordinary Heavenly Masters. Most of them were Yang Spirit experts!
