They even have an illusion in their hearts, as if these talents are the protagonists of the "Ceremony of Ascension to the Clouds", and they and the other members of the Cangyun Sect should be the younger generations who come to watch and admire.
This is true for senior elders, not to mention Ling Xiao, Shang Yunfei, Bai Ling'er and other new elders.
The four reclusive old monsters like Lingyan, Fenghen, Wuli, and Bingxuanzi have always been mythical existences in legends in their minds, and they were figures they once admired and respected.
It is not difficult to imagine how they would feel when such a character suddenly appeared in front of them!
The elders of the sect all reacted like this, not to mention the disciples below. Each one of them was simply more nervous and excited than the guests who came to observe the grand ceremony, and they were almost unable to control themselves.
A large number of disciples couldn't help but whisper, and their eyes were almost attracted by these powerful foreigners. It seemed that they had almost forgotten what day it was today and what the occasion was here.
Such a scene made those powerful foreigners quite disdainful. Many of them even shook their heads and sneered, showing disdain on their faces.
"Hmph, I have to say that Cangyun Sect's background really disappoints me!"
"Yes, although Cangyun Sect has risen rapidly in recent times, the sect's foundation is obviously far from enough!"
"Look at these people's lack of self-confidence. Even an outsider like me can hardly stand it anymore."
"In my opinion, as long as Patriarch Lingyan and the others raise their arms, the disciples of the Cangyun Sect will probably quit the sect and join the ranks of these hidden powerhouses!"
"Haha, it would be a bit exaggerated to say so, but it is also true that Cangyun Sect has insufficient foundation. They have made the news so loud, I think this ceremony will make a fool of themselves."
The words spread, causing a burst of laughter. The atmosphere of ridicule and contempt continued to spread in the square, and the scene was very embarrassing.
Seeing the scene in front of him, the sect leader Chu Tianhua also narrowed his eyes and felt secretly angry in his heart.
But as the leader of a sect and the host of this grand event, he naturally couldn't bear to lose his composure in public.
Although Jiang Tian has not yet appeared, he must not be vague when greeting guests from afar.
"Cangyun Sect Master Chu Tianhua, together with all the elders and disciples of the sect, welcomes all seniors and comrades!"
"The four seniors, Ancestor Lingyan, Ancestor Fenghen, Ancestor Wuli, and Bingxuanzi, please move to the VIP seats and take your seats!"
"Your Majesty, the Lord of the Tianfeng Empire, and all distinguished guests from the royal family, please take your seats at the VIP table!"
"Dignified guests from Fengling Empire, Silver Frost Empire, and other major super empires, please come and take a seat at the VIP table!"
"Sect Master Yin of the Qingtian Sect, Sect Master Lu of the Kunyuan Sect, and Master Wuji Palace, please take your seats at the VIP table!"
"Sect Leader Jiang of Tianyao Sect, Elder Song and other elders, please come and take a seat at the VIP table!"
"Dignified guests from the surrounding empires, please forgive Chu for not being able to name them all. Please take your seats according to the invitations for the grand ceremony!"
Chu Tianhua scanned the audience and shouted loudly.
In fact, the appearance of Lingyan Ancestor and others was not what he expected. This was an unexpected situation, and the Cangyun Sect did not send an invitation to them at all.
For Cangyun Sect, this should have been an unexpected surprise, but now it has become a big pressure.
Everyone did not rush forward rashly, and countless eyes were cast on the four ancestors Lingyan, Fenghen, Wuli and Bingxuanzi.
Among the people present, they are the most senior and have the strongest cultivation. If they don't move, who dares to act recklessly?
"Sect Master Chu, you're welcome. We are here just to meet Daoist Fellow Jiang. No other customary etiquette is required."
"Fellow Taoist Lingyan is wrong. For such a big event, there are no shortage of rules. If the Cangyun Sect doesn't entertain well, won't it make the entire continent's martial arts circles laugh?"
"It's hard to refuse the kindness of Master Chu. We are guests from afar, so we can just do as the master does."
"Everyone, please!"
The four of them joked with each other and walked towards the VIP seats at the end of the square.
A powerful aura pressed forward and descended on Chu Tianhua, the elders and disciples, causing their faces to change slightly and their hearts to be shaken.
The auras of these four people are surprisingly deeper than those of Su Wan and Feng Weiwei!
After these four people took their seats, the sect leaders and elders of other sects and guests from surrounding empires took their seats one after another.
The atmosphere in the square eased briefly, but as time passed, Jiang Tian still did not appear, and everyone became restless again.
Many guests who came to watch the ceremony even complained and expressed their dissatisfaction wantonly.
This made Chu Tianhua feel a lot of pressure, and also made the elders of Cangyun Sect murmur.
Jiang Rulan, the leader of the Tianyao Sect, and Song Xianglan, the successor candidate, were whispering, with a hint of worry in their eyes.
"Sect Master Chu, how long has Jiang Tian been in seclusion? Did you calculate the date correctly?" Jiang Rulan sent a message through her spiritual power and asked Chu Tianhua.
"..." Chu Tianhua twitched the corner of his mouth and shook his head repeatedly: "Sect Master Jiang was joking, how could we make a mistake in calculating such a big thing? To be honest, the date of the ceremony was chosen by Jiang Tian himself."
"Then why hasn't he come yet?" Jiang Rulan frowned and glanced at the whole place subconsciously. This restless atmosphere made her quite resentful.
"Perhaps... he has his own plan, right?" Chu Tianhua shook his head and sighed, not knowing what Jiang Tian was planning.
But based on his understanding of Jiang Tian, it was obviously impossible to forget such an important matter.
Jiang Tian said he would show up on time after leaving seclusion in half a month, but he did not agree on a time, so everyone could only continue to wait.
"Sect Leader Chu, when will your sect's 'Ascension to the Cloud Ceremony' begin?"
"I see it's getting late, can we invite Jiang Tian to appear?"
"I have never dealt with this fellow Daoist Jiang, and today I can finally fulfill my long-cherished wish."
Yin Jiu Ming, Lu Tianlong and the Palace Master of Wuji Palace spoke one after another. The former was quite impatient, while the latter was quite cautious.
"Everyone, please be patient, it should be soon, soon!" Chu Tianhua forced a smile and could only do his best to appease everyone.
To be honest, these people used to be the ones he looked up to. It was only through the rise of the Cangyun Sect that he became qualified to interact with them on an equal footing.
But even he himself subconsciously felt that he could not truly be on an equal footing with the other party.
After all, the gap in strength is still not small. Cangyun Sect's confidence today mainly comes from Jiang Tian, while Chu Tianhua himself has no pride.
Time passed slowly, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Jiang Tian still did not show up.
Everyone is getting more and more angry!
Ancestor Lingyan and others looked at each other in disbelief. They were talking about something unknown through the spiritual power transmission, but they still maintained the demeanor of a reclusive master to some extent.
Some other guests were not so particular and began to speculate wildly. The square became noisy, like countless flies buzzing around.
"What the hell is the Cangyun Sect doing? Why doesn't the protagonist of this grand ceremony show up yet?"
"We came all the way, and they just left us alone. It's too much!"
"Hmph, I think Jiang Tian was frightened by today's battle and didn't dare to come out, right?"
"It's possible! The four ancestors Lingyan, Fenghen, Wuli, and Bingxuanzi are all the hidden peaks of the Lingluo Continent. In front of them, Jiang Tian, a young junior, may not be able to hold his head up at all!"
