In the war between humans and demons, it's not unreasonable for me to absorb demonic energy, is

"Tell me what you think!" Feng Qingyang also frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

"In the past, even if that old fellow Haoyang was arrogant, he would at least say some polite words. But this time, he's been so arrogant and conceited. Coupled with the Yunxia Sect's commotion, I'm afraid things are not going to go well!"

Shen Youtu smacked his lips and frankly expressed his concerns.

“Junior brother, your consideration is correct. If you knew that before coming to our Fengqing Sect, the Fenyan Sect had secretly summoned the Yunxia Sect, you probably wouldn’t be so suspicious.”

Feng Qingyang nodded in agreement with Shen Youtu's words and continued, "The Northern Region Grand Competition is about to begin. I hope this celebration can proceed smoothly!"

"Don't worry, Sect Master. I've already told Gao Renyong, that dark-faced guy, to have the Enforcement Hall keep their eyes open and be on high alert."

Seeing Feng Qingyang's expression, Shen Youtu knew that his senior brother, the sect leader, already knew the situation regarding the Burning Flame Sect and the Cloud Mist Sect.

Although Feng Qingyang was previously suppressed by Dongfang Yao's absolute strength within the sect, he still secretly controlled many things. Moreover, his current cultivation level has far surpassed Dongfang Yao's.

Afterwards, the two brothers discussed the precautions for tomorrow's celebration in the hall.

……

The next morning, the day of the Fengqing Sect's celebration arrived!

Fan Tong got up early, changed into clean linen clothes, and tidied his appearance. After all, it was an important day for Meng Yao, so he had to be a little more formal.

"When will I be able to get my own Qiankun Ring? That way I can carry my valuables with me wherever I go, instead of going through all this trouble!"

Fan Tong carefully hid the Taiyi Sword Manual and the Taiyi Ancient Sword, then suddenly remembered the Qiankun Ring that had been recorded in a book before.

The Qiankun Ring is a magical artifact crafted by a powerful being using special techniques to collect fragments of space. It can contain a vast expanse of space within a mustard seed.

Legend has it that the top-tier Qiankun Ring, forged from a dead planet, has an exceptionally large capacity, except that it cannot hold living beings.

Fortunately, Fan Tong defeated the senior disciple of the outer sect of Yunxia Sect and obtained the qualification to participate in the celebration. Otherwise, he would have been able to stand on the outside of the celebration and watch the excitement without even a place to sit, let alone eat the spiritual fruits and medicines at the celebration!

Upon arriving at the venue of the celebration, Fan Tong followed the directions and patiently waited in a secluded corner. The sect elders had not yet arrived. Several smaller sects were already waiting there, but the other four major sects certainly wouldn't arrive so early.

Looking at the scenery before him, Fan Tong couldn't help but exclaim again, "It's so great to have high cultivation levels!"

This celebration site was created by having some elders from the Fengqing Sect level a mountain.

In the center of the venue is a towering sacrificial altar, surrounded by various exotic flowers and plants, spiritual springs and ponds. On one side is a relief inscription displaying the sect's history and glorious achievements, while on the other side is a competition arena.

The next circle outwards consists of the viewing platforms of various sects, where the Fengqing Sect will provide spiritual fruits and medicines for the attendees to consume.

As time passed, disciples from the Northern Region sects entered the venue in an orderly fashion, while the elders of the Fengqing Sect's Foreign Affairs Hall began to read out the gift list, announcing the gifts presented by each sect!

Although there were many people, everyone was careful and tried to keep their voices down, for fear of accidentally offending some big shot.

As noon approached, Sect Master Feng Qingyang and Grand Elder Dongfang Yao led many elders and core disciples of the Fengqing Sect to the celebration venue, followed by the Fengjian Sect, the Burning Flame Sect, and other top ten sects in the Northern Region.

Once all the cultivators were seated, it was noon, and the Fengqing Sect's celebration officially began!

"Thank you all for coming from afar. On behalf of the entire Fengqing Sect, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for your presence! The auspicious time has arrived, and I now declare the Fengqing Sect Celebration officially open!"

Feng Qingyang sat upright in the main seat, looked around, and said in a low voice!

"May Heaven bless the Northern Region! Mengyao of my sect, with her exceptional talent and diligent cultivation, recently broke through to the Profound Spirit Realm, breaking the record held by Elder Dongfang Yao of our sect. This is a blessing for our sect and for the Northern Region."

"First, please invite Elder Dongfang Yao to ascend the sacrificial altar to pay homage to the sages of the sect throughout the ages!"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yao immediately came to the foot of the sacrificial altar and walked step by step toward it!

Having climbed a total of 1,024 steps, Dongfang Yao stood firmly on the sacrificial altar, first lighting the incense burner, and then chanting incantations.

"The cycle of Heaven continues, and time marches on. Our sect is fortunate to stand between Heaven and Earth."

"Ancient trees reach for the sky, and spiritual springs murmur. This tradition has been passed down for thousands of years, following the laws of nature."

"The teachings of our ancestors are deeply engraved in our hearts, and countless disciples and heroes have emerged from among them."

"Swords point to the heavens, magic displays its power, protecting my sect and shaking the eight wastelands."

"Beautiful mountains and rivers, blessed lands and grotto heavens, the glory of the sect shines in all directions."

"Disciple Mengyao, at the Profound Spirit Realm, brings glory to the sect, and will be remembered for eternity."

"With the sound of drums and gongs and the fluttering of colorful flags, we celebrate this grand event together."

"Heroes from all sects gathered together to discuss the future and look forward to a glorious future."

"Heaven and earth bear witness, the sun and moon are our mirrors, with the world in our hearts, we vanquish demons and monsters."

"Follow the natural way, love all living beings, pass on the tradition, and live on forever."

Elder Dongfang Yaoda sang the sect's hymn in a special tone, as if taking everyone back to the process of Fengqing Sect's growth into one of the five major sects in the Northern Region.

"Though our predecessors have passed away, their spirit lives on. We, the disciples of Fengqing Sect, must always remember the hardships of cultivation and strive to reach the pinnacle of martial arts!"

Feng Qingyang broke the silence of the celebration venue with his voice full of vicissitudes!

"The legacy will continue forever!"

"The legacy will continue forever!"

"The legacy will continue forever!"

……

Many disciples of the Fengqing Sect had red eyes, their emotions stirred, and they unconsciously shouted loudly again and again.

"Now, please welcome our protagonist for today, the Water Fairy Mengyao!"

As soon as Feng Qingyang finished speaking, Mengyao used her flying technique to fly from a distance into the center of the celebration venue. She first bowed deeply to the Fengqing Sect Master and all the elders, and then greeted the various sects.

After completing the formalities, Mengyao began to unleash her cultivation, continuously casting one technique after another.

Fifty more disciples appeared behind her at some unknown time, serving as a foil to Mengyao, allowing the various sects to witness a pleasing yet dangerous display of martial arts techniques.

Mengyao also used her actions to demonstrate her Xuanling Realm cultivation and combat power, thereby showcasing the formidable cultivation of the new generation of disciples of the Fengqing Sect.

"Mengyao, you've worked hard. Come sit down and rest for a while!" Feng Qingyang called Mengyao over as soon as she finished her presentation.

"Cultivation is like a million people crossing a single-plank bridge; those who make it soar to the heavens, while those who don't must continue to accumulate strength. Next is the martial arts exchange segment that everyone has been eagerly anticipating. We will now..."

"Wait!"

A sharp shout interrupted Feng Qingyang's speech!
