"*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.
