Following the same path they came from, they soon arrived at the dragon tomb. After exiting the tomb, everyone stood at the entrance and finally relaxed.
As soon as they appeared, they were quickly discovered by the disciple on guard, who quickly took out the jade communication disc and sent a message to the master.
Then he stepped forward and bowed respectfully to them: "Greetings, senior brothers and sisters. The master has instructed that if he sees you coming out, he will ask you to wait here for a while. He will come to pick you up personally!"
Since Sect Leader Li had already given the order, Su Yao and the others naturally had no objections and just waited patiently.
After waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, I saw several figures flying rapidly in the distance.
Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect that the leaders of various sects would come in person.
As soon as they landed, they each walked towards their own disciples, and they were as excited as if they were at a large family reunion ceremony.
Gu Changfeng had lost all the dignity of a sect leader at this moment, and was crying loudly. He didn't care about that. What was dignity? What could be more important than the safe return of his own young people?
"Girl, you are finally back. It's good that you are back. I was so worried about you." Gu Changfeng said while crying and choking.
Su Yao and Ning Jing looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment. They really didn't know how to comfort others, and this person was their elder.
They saw and remembered how good Gu Changfeng was to them. After hesitating for a moment, they walked forward and each held one of their arms.
She said sweetly, "Yes, Uncle Gu, we are back. Did you prepare any gifts for us as a token of our triumphant return? If not, we will not accept it!"
Gu Changfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment after hearing what they said. At least he still remembered his identity as the leader, so he found a way to back down and stopped crying.
He just said cheerfully: "Yes, yes, yes, just tell me what you want. If you want my position as the head, I'll give it to you. Hahaha."
"Let's forget about the position of the headmaster. It's not about whether we are qualified. The main thing is that we still want to venture out for a few more years and see more of the outside world." Ning Jing said playfully, and Su Yao also echoed her.
Compared to Gu Changfeng's exaggerated reaction, the other sect leaders seemed much more calm. They stepped forward and grabbed their own disciples to take a good look. After confirming that everything was fine, they said, "It's good that everything is fine!"
Although the other leaders did not react as exaggeratedly as Gu Changfeng, they all knew that their own leaders must be worried about them as well.
When Sect Leader Li saw that Nalan Jingyue and Xu Fuyi came out safely, he was also smiling. However, when he glanced at Nalan Jingyue's body, his face suddenly darkened.
He knew what level of cultivation Nalan Jingyue was at, so how come he had reached the Nascent Soul level after going in and coming out?
"Jingyue, what's going on with your cultivation?" Sect Leader Li's face was not very good.
"It's okay. I've taken the Violent Spirit Pill. This is not the place to talk. Why don't we go back and talk?" Nalan Jingyue suggested.
"That's true. You have to tell us the whole story anyway. Let's go back and talk about it." After saying that, he looked at the other leaders.
He slowly said, "Masters, this isn't the place to talk. Why don't we go to our Haoyue Sect's meeting hall to discuss this?"
It was then that the several leaders remembered that they had important matters to discuss. They didn't know what had happened inside the dragon tomb this time.
Everyone agreed at once, and then they all flew towards Haoyue Sect.
In the meeting hall, several leaders sat at the top, while others sat on both sides of the hall.
Sect Leader Li asked, "Jingyue, did you gain anything from this trip to the Dragon Clan's Tomb?"
"This trip was indeed fruitful, and we also found a way to reopen the door to the fairyland."
The leaders at the top were shocked when they heard this: "Did they really find it?"
"Yes, we also found the soul of a senior from the Dragon Clan and brought him back." Nalan Jingyue said in a light tone.
"What? The Dragon Clan? But the one that disappeared thousands of years ago?" Qiu Bichen, the head of Xuanji Pavilion, was the first to ask, his tone filled with surprise.
"That's right!" Nalan Jingyue nodded, then looked in the direction of Su Yao, signaling her to release Aotian.
After receiving his instructions, Su Yao took out the Naling Wood, and then Aotian's soul appeared in the hall.
Gu Changfeng was a perceptive man. He took the lead and stepped forward and said respectfully, "Junior Gu Changfeng, greetings to the senior!"
The others also came forward to pay their respects.
Aotian nodded slightly, then said calmly: "My name is Aotian, and I am the leader of the dragon clan thousands of years ago."
After a brief acquaintance, everyone began to ask about what happened thousands of years ago and how to open the door to the fairyland.
Aotian continued to answer their questions one by one, and he could be said to have answered them all without reservation. He did not show any impatience at all.
When discussing whether to open the gate to the fairyland immediately, Nalan Jingyue expressed his opinion.
"I think we should open the gate to the fairyland immediately. If what Senior Ao said is correct, then something big must have happened in the upper fairyland.
I also think that the reason the people in the upper realm closed the gate to the immortal realm is because they don't want us from the lower realm to go up there. No one knows what the upper realm is like, and going up there easily would only put us in danger."
"I think so too. Now there is no ancestor who has reached the tribulation period, so we can put the matter of opening the door to the fairyland on hold for now. This matter still needs long-term consideration." Sect Leader Li was the first to speak and express his position.
After hesitating for a moment, the other leaders also spoke in agreement.
"If this matter is as Young Friend Nalan guessed, we must go back and report to the ancestor of our sect before making the next plan. We must also inform the sects in other continents for discussion." Gu Changfeng added.
Indeed, the major event of opening the door to the fairyland is not only a matter for their continent, but also requires consultation with people from other continents.
Next, the others began to discuss how to place the dragon blood and the stone. In order to make it easier to distinguish them, they specially named the stone Kaitian Stone.
Gu Changfeng thought for a moment, and finally said, "This matter is of great importance. We are all aware of the strength of your Haoyue Sect. After much deliberation, I think it is most appropriate for you to keep it."
The other leaders all felt that what Gu Changfeng said was very reasonable, and since it was a door to the fairyland, it didn't matter who opened it or where it was placed.
So the matter was finalized, and the three leaders of Wanjian Sect, Xuanji Pavilion, and Wanfa Sect quickly said goodbye with their disciples, saying only that they had to hurry back to report the matter to the ancestors in the sect.
Soon, only a few people from Haoyue Sect and Xiaoyao Sect were left in the meeting hall.
One issue has been resolved, and there is another issue that needs to be resolved, which is the issue of whether Senior Aotian should stay or leave.
