He leaped out of Dream Spirit Island and ascended the Heavenly Ladder. A colossal celestial palace appeared in the sky, bearing three dazzling golden characters: Divine Compassion Palace.
Everyone on Dream Spirit Island, witnessing this miraculous scene, bowed to Shenji in unison. The birds and beasts on the island also stopped and bowed to Shenji in their own way.
Shenji stood at the entrance of Shenci Palace and glanced at Linghu Lan from afar.
Linghu Lan waved to him, Shenji nodded, and turned to slowly walk into the magnificent house.
The Divine Compassion Palace has vanished, its whereabouts unknown. Across the vast expanse of floating clouds, any place can be home.
Linghu Lan stood on the beach, staring blankly in the direction where Shenji had disappeared.
Several elders from Dream Spirit Island stood behind her, bowing and waiting.
After a long pause, Linghu Lan sighed and turned to look at them. An elder hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Island Lord, the houses on the island have now been cleared out. There are a total of 1,532 people, all of whom have been registered. They are all of superior dream-making ability..."
The elders chatted on about the island's daily affairs. Dream Spirit Island had just recovered and was in dire need of rebuilding; there was so much to do. Linghu Lan calmly directed everything.
Finally, an elder asked, "Island Lord, should we hold a sect leadership ceremony to inform all the immortal sects? Dream Spirit Island has always been secluded. This time, I advocate that it emerge into the world. The reason why Shadow Flower was able to destroy Dream Spirit Island was because Dream Spirit Island has always been closed off. After the island was destroyed, the other immortal sects did not know a thing. The cultivation resources that Dream Spirit Island still has are likely to attract covetous eyes. Remaining closed off is not a long-term solution. This problem should be changed."
“That makes sense. There aren’t many immortals left in the world. Sooner or later, everyone will have to leave. It’s better to lay a solid foundation now to avoid being caught off guard later. You and the other elders should discuss a date for the sect leader’s ceremony!”
"yes!"
The crowd dispersed.
In the days that followed, with Linghu Lan's composed leadership, life on Dream Spirit Island got back on track, and everything started to move in a positive direction.
The elders noticed that the new island lord wasn't very interested in the enthronement ceremony. He seemed detached from worldly affairs, as if he were untouched by human affairs. They made all the decisions, which made things easier for them, but they also had a feeling that the new island lord might leave at any time, which made them very uneasy.
Sure enough, their fears came true not long after.
After the date for the sect leader's inauguration ceremony was set, the new island lord offered to deliver invitations to various immortal sects. Wasn't this just an excuse to leave Dream Spirit Island? Besides, as the main figure in the inauguration ceremony, shouldn't she be rehearsing the ceremony now to avoid chaos on the day? There are so many things to handle; why is she leaving? What if she doesn't come back?
Thinking of the terrible consequences, the elders tried to persuade him with excuses.
Linghu Lan waved her hand and said, "I have participated in countless grand ceremonies of all kinds. I have participated enough of them. Don't worry, if you say I'm coming back, I will definitely come back."
After all, we still have to wait for someone here.
The elders had no choice but to let her go, having exhausted all other options.
Linghu Lan waved her sleeves and left Dream Spirit Island with a flourish.
First, I went to Ji Liang's little shop. The shop had been closed for many days, and the door was covered with little notes that Q had written to her.
