Brother Cheng checked the system panel.

The show-off effect of the two recent artifact refining events was remarkable, leaving everyone present utterly shocked.

Even the two Immortal Kings who knew about his past were no exception.

They could understand artifact refining, but using such a style for artifact refining was beyond their comprehension.

Brother Cheng felt a bit regretful; too bad there weren't many people on-site.

If he had known, he should have gathered all the disciples before starting the show.

In the following days, the Feixian Sect continued to gather Immortal Crystals to purchase more Immortal Fate Orders.

And in those days, three more Immortal Kings traveled a long way to visit Sect Leader Jiang.

The entire Feixian Sect was almost numb.

What big deeds did the Ancestor do back then?

This widespread connection has to have its limits.

The Immortal Kings, who they might not have had a chance to see once in a lifetime before, were now eight in number, stationed right beside them.

And each one showed him great respect, completely following his lead; the prestige was overwhelming.

Yuan Shu, Yuan Mu, and others had privately speculated countless times but couldn't guess what was going on.

On the other hand, Brother Cheng was not in such a good mood.

These eight Immortal Kings stayed at the Feixian Sect after arriving, as if they intended to follow him from now on.

He knew well how capable ascenders from the Lower Realm could be, and with such a group, his chances to show off would be greatly diminished.

But it's hard to drive people away when you've accepted their goodwill.

Especially Mingchi Immortal King and his disciples, who clung to him like sticky candy over the past few days.

As if he was the beacon, the morning star, the lighthouse of the artifact refining world…

"I've said it countless times, that Void Refining Technique can't be replicated."

"Following me won't help you!"

He was truly tormented to a headache, while Mingchi Immortal King and his disciples just chuckled along.

"It's alright, we know."

"We can't replicate your ultimate techniques, Elder, we just want to follow you closely and listen to your teachings."

They're not fools.

An Ancestral Master level figure who can single-handedly create a new school must have unparalleled artifact refining mastery.

Following such a person, even a brief word of guidance could be enlightening, greatly enhancing one's artifact refining skills.

"I have no teachings to give!"

"I know nothing about artifact refining..."

"To be honest, this is my first time refining artifacts; I'm not as experienced as you guys."

Everyone thought skeptically, who would believe you!

Could your lie be any more unbelievable?

First-time refining and you crafted a Tier Seven Top-Grade Immortal Artifact?

Even amazing talents have their limits, right?

"Sect Leader Jiang is too modest!"

While Mingchi Immortal King sighed in admiration, he didn't pass up the chance to educate his disciples.

"Learn from him!"

"See how profound Sect Leader Jiang's artifact refining skills are, yet he's still so humble!"

"And look at you, swaying with just half a bucket of skills, yet so conceited usually..."

All the disciples nodded repeatedly with deep self-reflection, expressing their desire to learn Sect Leader Jiang's down-to-earth and modest spirit.

Brother Cheng felt helpless.

As an arrogant person, of course, he wouldn't ordinarily be modest.

The Artifact Refining Technique drawn from the system had automatically endowed him with knowledge for crafting Tier Nine Immortal Artifacts.

Moreover, this knowledge was comprehensive, covering all aspects of artifact refining.

Even without using the system and refining in a conventional Artifact Refiner's way, he could still produce Immortal Artifacts, only with a certain failure rate.

He indeed had the capacity to teach these people.

But recalling the cultivation of the batch of Feixian Sect disciples back in the day, he never taught them, always hands-off.

How could he possibly start an artifact refining class to teach students?

No time for that!

And during this time, the outside of the Feixian Sect was also turbulent.

Brother Cheng's sudden emergence indeed stunned the Middle Immortal Realm.

Especially the scene outside the Celestial Pavilion of the four great experts showing submission, which caused quite a stir among various nearby forces.

The first to bear the brunt was the Qingjing Palace, the leading Great Sect in the Qianlan Celestial Realm where the Feixian Sect was located.

This was an ancient sect with a history of tens of billions of years. Although during the Ascension Battle, Immortal City was the center, the status of Qingjing Palace remained transcendent.

They still had a more powerful main sect in the Upper Immortal Realm, with an Immortal Emperor holding the fort.

The branch left in the Middle Immortal Realm for development.

When Mo Chen, Ji Linghan, and Lin Ning's batch of prodigies rose, Qingjing Palace attempted to defend its position as the leading sect in Qianlan Celestial Realm by attacking.

But they practically couldn't handle the ferocious dragons emerging from the river, and eventually ranked second.

Ji Linghan, Luo Yuan, and others suspected Sect Leader Jiang went to the Upper Immortal Realm, with no intention of expanding further in the Middle Immortal Realm.

So they didn't plan to eliminate surrounding forces and adopt a supreme dominance strategy.

After the thousand Immortal Kings of the Feixian Sect all ascended, Qingjing Palace resumed its position at the top.

During that period, under the directive of their Upper Immortal Realm branch, they once united with other sects to attack the Feixian Sect.

But that time, they unfortunately encountered the fierce Sword Domain Sword Cultivators.

The Sword Domain was aggressive, unlike the Feixian Sect disciples who just disciplined their adversaries…

Not only did Qingjing Palace fail to benefit, but they also lost three Immortal Kings, severely decreasing their power.

This scared them from making any significant moves afterward.

Their heritage remained, and after millions of years of recuperation, Qingjing Palace now housed two Immortal Kings again.

Making it the strongest sect among surrounding ten celestial realms.

If the Feixian Sect hadn't declined drastically afterward, posing no threat to them anymore, they would have likely attacked again.

Brother Cheng's reappearance threatened them.

This Feixian Sect is restless.

If left unchecked, they might repeat the scenario from millions of years ago, overwhelming Qingjing Palace.

This is unacceptable to them.

Threats should be nipped in the bud.

It's said that Jiang Cheng lacks personal strength besides having a Tier Nine Immortal Sword.

The toughest to deal with are the four great experts Xiao Kun and Jiyun.

For this reason, Qingjing Palace has been secretly contacting a few powerful sects and noble families in the surrounding celestial realms, planning to eradicate the Feixian Sect.

Their proposal for alliance quickly received responses from several surrounding forces.

Even though their motives differed, their interests aligned.

Qingjing Palace aims to maintain their dominance over the Qianlan Celestial Realm and several nearby celestial realms.

Other forces eye the Tier Nine Immortal Sword.

Some are outraged over the 3,300 Immortal Fate Orders.

And yet others seek revenge.

For instance, behind the Candle Mountain Demons extinguished at the Celestial Pavilion stood the Blood Flame Sect.

As an Ancient Demon Sect, they also had two Demon King-level Supreme Elders.

So far, five Great Sects and one Noble Family have gradually joined the joint encirclement.

The number of Immortal King and Demon King-level experts reached nine!

Amidst the swirling undercurrents, the Feixian Sect had not made any preparations yet.

Many merely heard outward complaints about the Feixian Sect holding so many Immortal Fate Orders.

Unaware, a battle at the Immortal King level was indeed about to break out.
