"*cough cough*"
Among the two people, the man named Li Kun couldn't help but cough twice before saying, "Everyone, please quiet down. Before the meeting, I have an important announcement to make."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to him.
"My unworthy son has awakened the Grand Transformation Sacred Physique, and next month is his coming-of-age ceremony. To celebrate, my Forest Valley Sect plans to hold a grand feast on the first day of next month."
"Therefore, taking advantage of this meeting, I would like to extend an invitation to all the sect leaders present. Please make sure to honor us with your presence, and perhaps you could also provide some guidance to my son."
After speaking, Li Kun narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard.
His eyes were carefully observing everyone's expressions.
These old fellows never met without trying to suppress and show off to each other. He chose this moment to make his announcement precisely to put pressure on everyone else.
After all, these people had been competing for countless years without a clear winner, so the talents and abilities of their next generation had become their new source of pride.
And the Grand Transformation Sacred Physique was his trump card.
Such a physique was enough to crush any young person in the Chuyuan Immortal Continent.
He could already anticipate the ugly expressions of envy, jealousy, and hatred on their faces when they heard the words "Grand Transformation Sacred Physique."
However.
Li Kun's prediction was wrong.
Upon hearing his words, everyone just gave him a bland look.
"Oh."
After casually nodding, they resumed their own conversations.
"Hey, Old Zhang, have you received any letters from your son?" Zhang Yu asked.
"My former junior sister Jiang Zhi brought me a message. Said my son joined the Brick-Moving Squad!" Zhang Yu replied.
"What? The Brick-Moving Squad? Hiss!"
"That's terrifying! Well, my son's doing pretty well too. The Manure-Carrying Squad just happened to have a new opening, so he joined them. You know that Lu Chong fellow Li Hongtian mentioned? My son stays with him all day, eating and living together."
"Holy cow, that's even more impressive!"
"A bright future indeed, a bright future! Haha!"
They continued praising each other, completely ignoring Li Kun standing beside them.
Li Kun's face darkened, his facial muscles twitching.
Oh?
Just "oh"?
These old fellows, did they not understand, or did they see through his showing off and deliberately act so indifferent?
"Everyone must come when the time comes. After all, my son achieving the Grand Transformation Sacred Physique is a very important matter. I need all the sect leaders to witness it."
With his face fluctuating between dark and light, he couldn't help but add another sentence.
He particularly emphasized the words "Grand Transformation Sacred Physique," afraid that they might not have heard it.
"Oh, got it."
The four people, still complimenting each other, responded flatly and continued their conversation.
Li Kun nearly coughed up blood in anger.
Why?
Why did they have absolutely no reaction to hearing about his son achieving the Grand Transformation Sacred Physique? This level of calmness wasn't normal!
Those who are confused are always kept in the dark.
While those who know how to seize opportunities have already reached the peak of their lives.
Similar situations to what happened in the Chuyuan Immortal Continent were also occurring in other places. The phenomenon of the Heavenly Immortal Palace's influence spreading from person to person was becoming more intense.
Because of this, the number of prisoners on Dark Shadow Island was increasing.
Meanwhile, various powers were privately speculating about what kind of force Dark Shadow Island really was.
Some guessed it was a force supported by the Heavenly Dao, meant to replace the Heavenly Immortal Palace.
Others said the leader of this force was an awakened powerhouse from ancient times.
There were various versions of the story.
In any case.
The reputation of Dark Shadow Island had thoroughly spread far and wide.

g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!
ave】 Shen Qingling was a man with peerless looks, a cunning mind, and the ability to play both the aloof noble and the innocent sweetheart—a master of seduction who could outplay any player. But after an untimely death, he found himself bound to a system and transmigrated into the tragic "true young master" of a melodramatic novel. In the original story, his childhood sweetheart treated him as a backup plan, his fiancée swore to break off their engagement for the sake of the "fake young master," and his own sister saw him as the family's disgrace. He was nothing more than a rat everyone wanted to stomp on. System 077: "Your mission is to change the original fate and conquer the goddesses." Shen Qingling: "Thanks for the invite. If seduction had tiers, I’d be max level." His childhood sweetheart knelt, begging for forgiveness: "Qingling, I was wrong. Please give me another chance." His ex-fiancée refused to marry anyone else: "Shen Qingling, I was blind before. In this life, I’ll marry no one but you." A yandere CEO went mad for love: "Shen Qingling, you can only like me. I’ll stop at nothing to make you mine!" His green-tea sister clung to him daily: "Brother, look at me, won’t you? I’m more obedient than them—I love you the most~" At first, they scorned and trampled on him. Later, they burned themselves like moths to a flame, all for his sake. His looks were his weapon, his sweet words the bait—heroines obsessed over him, villains turned to madness for him. Shen Qingling became a true male siren, igniting battlefield after battlefield of women fighting for his affection. Years later, when System 077—now one of the elites—was asked how to become as outstanding as it, it lazily exhaled a smoke ring and replied: "Just know how to cheer ‘666’ at the right time."
