Chapter 2411: Astonishing Everyone!

Chapter 2411: Chapter 2411: Astonishing Everyone!

However, just as Zhou Yu and his group were about to approach the outskirts of the city.

Suddenly, between heaven and earth, a wave of spirit light spread out.

In an instant, the entire sky was covered by this spirit light.

As this awe-inspiring celestial phenomenon appeared, everyone, whether inside the city, outside, or entering the city, stopped simultaneously and looked up.

What they saw was the place from which the spirit light emanated.

A gigantic shadow appeared.

Of course, Zhou Yu was the first to notice this extraordinary scene.

He immediately focused his gaze, revealing a hint of surprise in his eyes.

That gigantic shadow turned out to be an exotic beast he had never seen before.

It looked like a bull or a horse, yet it had wings on its back and its feet emitted a glow.

The entire body was hundreds of meters long.

It was clearly of uncommon lineage.

On the back of this exotic beast was a three-story pavilion.

Inside the pavilion, a radiant glow shone, as if celestial spirits had descended to the mortal world.

Behind the exotic beast, a group of armored warriors riding flying exotic beasts followed.

The entire procession spanned the sky, advancing directly towards Jiulong Mountain.

These armored warriors all had cultivation levels above the Nascent Soul realm.

Moreover, on the back of the giant beast stood several men and women.

These men and women appeared young, yet their cultivation levels were remarkable.

Most were in the Divinity Transformation realm.

Their bearing and posture exuded nobility and magnificence.

They were clearly favored by the heavens.

It must be said that this suddenly appearing entourage.

Was truly grand in its presentation.

Zhou Yu naturally paid no attention to these exotic beasts nor the men and women.

His gaze was directly focused on the top of the pavilion on the exotic beast’s back.

There, three people sat drinking together.

Their cultivation levels made Zhou Yu’s expression turn serious.

Because all three were cultivators of the Integration realm.

At this moment, Venerable Yue Ling finally recovered from her stupor.

She excitedly exclaimed:

"It’s Hao Yuan Heavenly Venerate!"

"It’s Hao Yuan Heavenly Venerate’s procession."

"Good heavens, who could have thought we could see Hao Yuan Heavenly Venerate with our own eyes."

The elderly woman could hardly contain her excitement.

Zhou Yu, hearing this, was taken aback.

"Daoist Yue Ling, do you know Hao Yuan Heavenly Venerate?"

Yue Ling enthusiastically replied:

"How could a mere old woman like me know such an exalted figure."

"It’s just that Hao Yuan Heavenly Venerate’s mount, the Two-winged Dragon Ox, is famous worldwide."

"That’s the one."

Yue Ling pointed excitedly at the giant exotic beast.

"Huh?"

"Daoist Zhou, don’t you know?"

Zhou Yu rubbed his nose and replied:

"I truly didn’t know."

At this moment, Zhou Yu also looked enlightened.

No wonder such a grand spectacle.

It turned out to be Hao Yuan Heavenly Venerate, one of the Five Great Venerables of the Human and Demon Clans.

This grandeur was completely justified.

And just as Zhou Yu was observing Hao Yuan Heavenly Venerate’s procession, Hao Yuan Heavenly Venerate, who was drinking on the pavilion, suddenly seemed to sense something.

His expression turned surprised as he set his wine cup down, stood up, and stepped outside the pavilion, looking down.

The next moment, a powerful voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"Which Daoist is below?"

"Why not come up here and join me for a drink!"

As these words were spoken, everyone inside and outside the city was astonished.

Being called a Daoist by Hao Yuan Heavenly Venerate meant that one had to be at least in the Integration realm.

Across the entire Human Race, there were only about twenty such cultivators.

In such a remote place, could there actually be an Integration realm senior present?

For a moment, everyone instinctively looked around.

At this point, Qi Ling and Hai Long were filled with disbelief.

Qi Ling hesitantly said:

"Am I having an illusion?"

"Why do I feel Hao Yuan Heavenly Venerate is looking at me?"

Hai Long dumbfoundedly said:

"You’re having an illusion."

"The Venerate is clearly looking at me."

"Give it a rest; what’s there to see in you," Qi Ling mercilessly remarked.

Even Venerable Yue Ling was full of doubt.

Because she felt Hao Yuan Heavenly Venerate seemed to be looking at her as well.

How could she, a mere Golden Core realm cultivator, warrant Hao Yuan Heavenly Venerate’s direct gaze?

While everyone was puzzled, Zhou Yu suddenly spoke.

"Brother Qi, Brother Hai, follow Daoist Yue Ling to her residence."

"I’ll go see Hao Yuan Heavenly Venerate, then come find you afterward."

Upon hearing this, Qi Ling, Hai Long, and even Venerable Yue Ling were all bewildered.

"What?"

Qi Ling and Hai Long instinctively questioned.

However, Zhou Yu said nothing further.

In the next moment, his figure flashed, transforming into a bolt of thunder light, and vanished instantly.

Witnessing this, Qi Ling and Hai Long were utterly stunned.

"No way... Brother Zhou... he... he he he... he..."

Qi Ling was so flustered he couldn’t articulate.

Hai Long was similar, continuously rubbing his eyes, thinking he was seeing things.

Only Bai Zhanfeng beside them, after a brief shock.

Suddenly thought of something.

"Senior Zhou... Is an Integration realm patriarch?"

"Yes, it must be that."

"Previously, a Nascent Soul realm senior mentioned."

"Only an Integration realm patriarch could immediately recognize the strange poison in Little Hua."

"And only an Integration realm patriarch could save Little Hua."

At this moment, Bai Zhanfeng was tearfully excited, constantly gazing at the sky.

Upon hearing this, Venerable Yue Ling was also filled with incredulity.

She looked to Qi Ling and Hai Long.

"Daoist friends, this Senior Zhou... Is he truly an Integration realm patriarch?"

Qi Ling and Hai Long were even more astonished.

Having spent the most time with Zhou Yu.

At this moment, memories of their time together flooded both their minds.

They had always been curious why Zhou Yu seemed to have similar cultivation to them, but his understanding of cultivation was far deeper.

A few casual remarks from him often enlightened them, opening their minds.

Moreover, during moments of trouble, Zhou Yu’s expression never changed.

His face seemed to always remain calm.

A calm that looked down upon everything.

Before, they didn’t understand.

Now, they suddenly understood.

"Integration realm!"

"Brother Zhou is actually an Integration realm master!"

Qi Ling acted frenzied.

Hai Long came to his senses too.

He was equally ecstatic, but hurriedly reminded Qi Ling.

"Brother Qi, Senior Zhou didn’t mind lowering himself to treat us as equals; before we didn’t know, but from now on, we must never address him as brother."

Qi Ling realized after the reminder.

He quickly nodded.

"Brother Hai is right, completely right—we must change how we address him."

Saying so, Qi Ling again raised his head, gazing at the magnificent procession hovering in the sky.

Along with the pavilion on the giant beast’s back.

Such heights that countless cultivators could not reach in their lives.

So close!

Yet so far!

In the gazes of Qi Ling and Hai Long, there appeared an immense longing and aspiration...
