Before long, dozens of figures appeared at the entrance of the Dao Sect with astonishing speed, like lightning.
These dozens of people all possessed an exceptionally powerful and terrifying aura, as if the very existence of each of them was a deterrent.
The old man in blue robes standing at the very front exuded an exceptionally powerful aura, possessing a terrifying cultivation level of the ninth level of the Loose Immortal Realm (without a supreme deity).
Just then, the old man in blue suddenly shouted, "Who exactly knows the name 'Sheng Hong'?"
The sound was like a resounding bell, echoing throughout the entire space.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian immediately replied without hesitation, "It is I!"
The old man in green robes looked in the direction of the sound and his gaze instantly fell on Yuan Zhexian.
When he saw Yuan Zhexian clearly, he was deeply shocked.
The person in front of me looks quite young, but his cultivation level has already reached the fourth level of the Mahayana realm.
Even more astonishingly, the aura emanating from Yuan Zhexian was incredibly powerful, comparable to that of a wandering immortal.
A look of astonishment flashed in the old man's eyes. Then he moved quickly, walking towards Yuan Zhexian like a gust of wind.
As he approached Yuan Zhexian, he stopped, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and bowed slightly, saying, "Greetings, fellow Daoist. May I ask how you came to know the name 'Sheng Hong'?"
Faced with the question from the old man in blue, Yuan Zhexian remained calm, though his thoughts stirred slightly.
Immediately afterwards, a flash of light appeared, and an ancient jade stone appeared in his hand.
This jade stone was formed from Sheng Hong's divine consciousness, and a mysterious radiance faintly flowed across it.
When the old man in blue robes' gaze fell upon the ancient jade in Yuan Zhexian's hand, his body trembled violently, as if struck by an invisible force.
His eyes widened instantly, and a hint of barely suppressed excitement appeared deep within his normally calm eyes.
Immediately afterwards, he turned to face the crowd without hesitation and loudly ordered, "Immediately convey my order: all those of elder rank and above, come to the council hall immediately!"
"Anyone who dares to delay even half a minute will be expelled from the sect on the spot, without any leniency!"
Its sound was like a great bell, resounding throughout the entire space, making people tremble with fear upon hearing it.
Upon hearing these stern words, everyone was startled, and their faces showed astonishment.
However, they dared not be negligent in the slightest and bowed in unison, replying, "Yes, Ancestor!"
They immediately sprang into action to relay this urgent order.
Then, the old patriarch in green turned around and said to Yuan Zhexian with a sincere expression, "Please come with me to the council hall, fellow Daoist."
Seeing this, Yuan Zhexian simply nodded in agreement.
So he led Yuan Taixu and the old man in blue towards the council hall.
When Yuan Zhexian entered the council hall, he looked around and saw that the hall was crowded with people, with nearly a hundred cultivators already gathered.
These people possessed incredibly powerful auras; even the weakest among them had reached the Nascent Soul Realm cultivation level.
Seeing that most of the people had arrived, the old man in blue cleared his throat and immediately asked, "Fellow Daoist, where did this ancient jade come from? I hope you can tell me."
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Yuan Zhexian, waiting for his answer.
Facing the intense gazes of the crowd, Yuan Zhexian remained calm and slowly replied, "I obtained this jade by chance in my hometown."
Immediately afterwards, the old man in blue spoke again, asking, "So, may I ask, how is he now?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian replied without hesitation, "Senior Shenghong has already passed away."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man in blue robes turned extremely sad upon hearing this, and tears streamed uncontrollably from his eyes.
He said in a trembling voice, "For dozens of years! All these years, we have never given up looking for his whereabouts, but we never expected that this would be the only result we would get in the end."
Since stepping into this mysterious and unpredictable world of cultivation, Yuan Zhexian discovered that the timeline here is almost identical to that of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
The only difference is that in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths it is called an era, but in the cultivation world it is called a year.
After a brief pause, Yuan Zhexian continued, "Back then, I inherited the legacy of Senior Shenghong and made a promise to him that I would bring back the ancient jade that he had transformed into with his divine consciousness to his hometown."
"In this way, Senior Shenghong may still have a chance to enter the cycle of reincarnation."
These words struck everyone like a thunderclap. The old man in blue robes widened his eyes upon hearing them, his gaze filled with disbelief, yet also with barely suppressed excitement.
His lips trembled slightly, and it took him a while to recover before he eagerly asked, "Fellow Daoist, are all the things you just said absolutely true?"
It is important to understand that reincarnation is an unattainable dream for many people, but if this wish is fulfilled, it means that they will have the opportunity to be reborn and rise again.
At this moment, Yuan Zhexian stood there quietly, without saying a word.
Suddenly, the jade stone emitted a faint light, as if it contained endless power and secrets.
Yuan Zhexian stretched out a slender finger and gently pointed to the ancient jade.
Then he said, "Senior, I have fulfilled my promise to you. Now you can embark on the path of reincarnation in peace!"
