"Everyone, please follow me."
Xue Yi led the group to Immortal Spirit Plaza, which was already packed with people. There was a Restriction against flying nearby; while Core Formation stage could forcibly break free, they all remained on the ground to show respect for Li Feiyu.
Li Feiyu scanned the entire area. Most of those present were Core Formation stage Cultivators; among the Nascent Soul Stage, he only detected Zenith Yin.
The two exchanged glances, and a faint smile appeared on Zenith Yin's pale Face as he nodded to him.
Li Feiyu did the same. Although there had been past grievances, in this situation, visitors were guests.
However, not long after, people from Star Palace and Inverse Star Alliance arrived, all of whom were Nascent Soul Middle Stage. This surprised him considerably, but after seeing Ling Yuling and another elegant young man in coarse linen robes, he felt relieved.
Ling Yuling was the daughter of the Twin Sages, and the young man was surrounded by many women, likely Wen Tianren, the successor of the Six Paths.
These two held significant positions within Star Palace and Inverse Star Alliance, completely comparable to the status of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
With these two major superpowers present, Li Feiyu didn't pay much attention to the other Nascent Soul Cultivators.
In terms of abundant resources, who could compare to them?
"It seems this time I won't be disappointed."
"Welcome everyone for taking the time to come to my Sangxing Island."
Li Feiyu spoke calmly, but his voice echoed like a great bell, spreading to every corner of the plaza.
"I am Li Feiyu. Many of you may be unfamiliar with me, as I have always focused on cultivation and kept a low profile. I am also not yet two hundred years old."
"Today, everyone present can bear witness: I, Li Feiyu, will establish a great sect, named Blazing Zenith Sect."
He smiled faintly, "However, for now, I will not be recruiting Disciples. When the time comes, if any of you are interested, you may come to participate in the entry assessment."
Fire Cloud and Mad Demon both pondered the name Blazing Zenith Sect, trying to guess Li Feiyu's intentions.
Star Palace was named after stars, but the Great Sun was the chief of all stars.
This couldn't help but make Fire Cloud overthink.
Since it was the founding of a great sect, Li Feiyu also performed the necessary procedures, such as burning incense and offering prayers.
Everyone discussed this Blazing Zenith Sect of one person.
"The auction will begin in two hours. Those interested are welcome to look around my Sangxing Island."
The crowd began to disperse, and soon only the people from Star Palace and Inverse Star Alliance remained in the plaza.
Zenith Yin stepped forward with a smile, flipping his hand to reveal a wooden box that emitted a cold aura.
"Sect Leader Li, you truly have grand ambitions. A one-man sect, only you would dare to do such a thing. This is a small welcoming gift; please accept it."
Li Feiyu hooked his finger, and the wooden box flew over, then slowly opened on its own.
"Yin Demon Iron. Island Master Wu is very polite. Although it's not a top-tier Materials for Artifact Refining, it's excellent for refining Demonic Path Magic Treasure. You are thoughtful."
Zenith Yin chuckled, "I was very offensive last time; I hope you won't take offense. I absolutely bear no ill will towards Sect Leader Li."
"Since Island Master Wu has said so, if I were to trouble you again over that matter, I would be too ignorant."
"Haha, I'm relieved to hear Sect Leader Li say that. Oh, by the way, I have other matters, so I won't be attending the auction."
Li Feiyu nodded, "Island Master Wu, please do as you wish."
Afterward, Star Palace and Inverse Star Alliance also presented some small gifts, including inner cores and five-hundred-year-old Spiritual Plant, just as a token of their regard.
Ling Yuling cupped her fists and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, I trust you have been well."
Li Feiyu nodded slightly, then looked at the purple-clad woman beside Wen Tianren and said with a faint smile, "There are few in the Chaotic Star Sea with such beauty. Fellow Daoist Wen is truly blessed."
"Haha, no matter how blessed, can it compare to you? If Fellow Daoist could give me the opportunity to form a Nascent Soul, I wouldn't mind exchanging with you."
"Fellow Daoist Wen is joking. With the financial resources of your Inverse Star Alliance, can you not bid for a Medicinal Pill?"
"That's true. I am determined to get that Medicinal Pill."
After saying that, he laughed heartily and departed.
The purple-clad woman looked back at Li Feiyu one more time, her eyes filled with emotion. If she had known Li Feiyu would achieve such accomplishments back then, why would she have sought far and wide, colluding with a tiger?
At this moment, Li Feiyu transmitted his Divine Sense: "Fairy Ziling, long time no see. I knew that wasn't your true appearance back then."
Zi Ling was slightly shocked, then replied: "Indeed, long time no see. I didn't expect Senior to advance to Nascent Soul Stage in just a few decades. Zi Ling is truly surprised."
The two exchanged a few words, which naturally didn't escape Wen Tianren and Mad Demon. Wen Tianren's Face was dark, showing his displeasure.
Fire Cloud also said, "Fellow Daoist Li, we shall also go browse around for a bit."
Soon, only Ancestor Xing and Xing Jueyi remained at the scene.
"Fellow Daoist Li."
"Old Ancestor, how have you been recently?"
Ancestor Xing stroked his beard and smiled faintly, "Not bad, living another one or two hundred years is not a problem."
Xing Jueyi, with a beaming smile, handed a Storage Pouch to Li Feiyu and said, "Brother Li, this is what our Star Commerce Alliance promised back then. We have finally collected everything. The rest are our Star Commerce Alliance's congratulatory gifts for your establishment of the Blazing Zenith Sect."
Li Feiyu swept his Divine Sense over it, nodded with satisfaction, "That's quite a lot of things. I won't be polite and will accept them."
"It's only right," Ancestor Xing said, "By the way, Fellow Daoist Li, Star Palace entrusted me to be a mediator to reconcile the relationship between both sides. What do you think?"
Li Feiyu glanced at Ancestor Xing, "Since Old Ancestor has spoken, I will naturally give him this Face. Past grievances can be forgotten, as long as they don't provoke me in the future."
"However, there's no need to mention Elder Liu's matter. I can guarantee I won't harm him, but a hundred years of imprisonment is unavoidable."
"Alright, then so be it."
Seeing Xing Jueyi's hesitant expression, Ancestor Xing smiled faintly, "I won't delay you young people's conversation."
Ancestor Xing left, and Xing Jueyi breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Li, you are truly amazing! Forming a Nascent Soul before two hundred years old is rare in the history of the Inner Star Sea."
"Such blatant flattery, what do you want? Long time no see, and you're still in Core Formation Early Stage, you're too disappointing."
Xing Jueyi said, sweating, "How can I compare to a Prodigy Genius like you? Besides, as the next President of the Star Commerce Alliance, I am very busy."
"Moreover, I haven't made no progress at all, haven't I reached the peak of Core Formation Early Stage?"
His eyes darted around, "I know your Trading Pavilion has Medicinal Pill effective for breaking through the Core Formation Bottleneck. How about giving me a bottle?"
Li Feiyu took out a bottle from his Storage Pouch and directly threw it to him, saying, "Considering the generous gifts you sent, this bottle of Medicinal Pill is for you. However, this is a one-time offer. If you want more later, you can come to my Trading Pavilion for a transaction."
"Ah, why isn't it for the sake of our friendship? You hurt my heart too much."
"Get lost! If you don't want it, give it back to me!"
Xing Jueyi, quick as a flash, quickly put it into his Storage Pouch, then laughed, "Once something is given away, there's no reason to take it back."
Li Feiyu took Xing Jueyi on a tour of the island for a while, and Xing Jueyi remarked, "I originally planned to open a Star Plucking Pavilion on your Sangxing Island, but with your auction house and Trading Pavilion, I can never surpass you."
"Then open it. Who knows, my Sangxing Island might become a second retreat for your Xing Family."
Upon hearing this, Xing Jueyi fell into deep thought.
"Let's go, it's almost time to head to the auction house," Li Feiyu said.
Xing Jueyi followed closely behind.
