Chapter 50: The Magnificent Demeanor of the Black Emperor!

Seeing that the Sect Master spoke with such solemnity, the crowd did not dare to disobey. Immediately imitating the Sect Master, they stood there, closing their eyes and quieting their minds, hoping to have some sort of spiritual enlightenment.

Ji Qingyou glanced at Gu Ya standing beside her, and Gu Ya blushed slightly.

She had long heard that the Sect Master had gone out to pull strings, trying to create an opportunity for everyone in the XuanDan Sect.

She just never expected this opportunity to be so utterly unreliable!

Looking at the large sects continuously entering through the main gate, this was simply too humiliating!

...

Grand Dao Sect, Sermon Platform.

Ye Zhetian, draped in a golden Dao cloak, sat cross-legged on the sermon platform in a very professional posture, flanked by the left and right protectors, exuding an imposing aura.

Because of Ye Zhetian's current status and position—though it was a dog, it was nonetheless the Grand Dao Sect's General Sect Master—some major sects were unwilling to come, but the minor sects willing to respond were countless.

Coupled with the internal and external maneuvering of the left and right protectors, the number of attendees this time was massive.

There were also some small animals that had appeared with Ye Zhetian's permission.

At this moment, the entire area beneath the sermon platform was packed with talented disciples from various minor sects, along with some elderly cultivators who had no hope of breaking through their current realms.

Yet, they simply could not understand dog language, which was vastly different from what they had anticipated before coming here!

Right now, a large number of people from major sects, such as the Vajra Sect and the Heavenly Emperor Sect, sat below the platform with hidden anger, waiting for an opportunity to erupt!

As for the ones in the entire audience who could best comprehend Ye Zhetian's language, they were precisely that group of small foxes, little rabbits, wild boars, and other mountain animals!

At this moment, immersed in Ye Zhetian's sermon, they listened with rapt attention. Accompanied by Ye Zhetian's dog barks, they burst forth with surging auras, actually breaking through their realms one by one!

Meanwhile, the proud talents of humanity sitting here watched these continuously breaking-through beasts, their faces green with envy. They hated themselves for not understanding beast language, while harboring a lingering, anxious resentment toward Ye Zhetian!

As proud prodigies of the human race, they were actually being surpassed by a bunch of low-level beasts?

However, the people of the Grand Dao Sect paid no attention to this. Here, there were also a vast number of Grand Dao Sect disciples. They concentrated and held their breath, carefully listening to the Sect Master's sermon.

From time to time, expressions of excitement, frustration, joy, or tension appeared on their faces.

Some even directly broke through several minor realms, reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment!

Unlike these outsiders, through this period of contact, although the Sect Master was a dog, they could truly comprehend the Sect Master's intent.

This interesting scene was also witnessed by Lin Jun, who remained in concealment.

Hiding in the shadows, he watched the little black dog on the stage, draped in the Dao cloak and putting on such a serious act, unable to help a silent chuckle in his heart.

...

At the foot of the mountain.

The members of the XuanDan Sect closed their eyes and listened quietly, racking their brains to imagine themselves crossing the rock face before them, witnessing the sight of Sect Master Ye giving his sermon.

Yet in reality, they heard nothing and saw nothing.

This place was simply too far away; even if they could sense some "Dao sounds" within the sect, they could not hear them clearly at all!

Among these people, however, Bai Feng of the XuanDan Sect wore an expression of sudden comprehension, as if he had truly pierced through layers of obstacles and actually heard Ye Zhetian's sermon.

Ji Qingyou glanced at him, finding it merely amusing.

"Jiuyou, I didn't hear the sermon. Did you?"

At this moment, Gu Ya cautiously tugged at the corner of her robe and asked with difficulty.

"I'll find someone to escort us in."

Ji Qingyou shook her head and directly sent a strand of divine sense to notify Ye Zhetian, who was currently delivering the sermon.

...

On the sermon platform, the golden-robed Ye Zhetian's voice suddenly paused. A trace of excitement flashed deep within its eyes, and its tail began to wag uncontrollably.

It knew that Ji Qingyou had encountered some trouble these past few days; her true body had been in secluded cultivation all along while constantly condensing a split soul outside. It had even worried for a long time about this, specifically asking its master.

Only after confirming she was fine did it set its mind at ease.

It had originally felt that it would be a true pity if this 'Sermon Assembly' it hosted was not witnessed by its fellow disciple Ji Qingyou!

To this end, it had even deliberately strolled around the main hall where Ji Qingyou's true body was in seclusion several times, but received no reaction. It had already given up, never expecting that Ji Qingyou's split soul would actually arrive!

"Awooo!"

Unable to help itself, it let out a long howl toward the sky, completely oblivious to the iron-colored faces of the crowd below.

Then, draped in its golden cloak, it leaped forward like a celestial hound, charging outward toward the sect gates!

"Sect Master!"

"Sect Master, where are you going?!"

Seeing this scene, the left and right protectors hurriedly gave chase in deep anxiety.

Leaving behind the Vajra Sect, the Heavenly Emperor Sect, and others, who glared angrily at all of this.

At the mountain recess.

"Stop straining your imaginations. I've already contacted someone from the Grand Dao Sect; someone will be here shortly to escort us in."

Ji Qingyou stood among the crowd, whose expressions resembled those of people suffering from severe constipation, and said in a calm voice.

"Jiuyou, what kind of tall tales are you spinning here? How could you possibly know a high-level expert of the Grand Dao Sect?" Gu Ya was startled and hastily tugged at Ji Qingyou's sleeve.

"Hmph, would it kill you not to brag? The Sect Master found such a wonderful spot; just because you can't hear it doesn't mean others can't!"

Bai Feng cast a disdainful look at Ji Qingyou, turned away, and slowly closed his eyes again.

"Fine, then you can just stay outside later," Ji Qingyou said expressionlessly.

Beihan Yan also glanced at him, a trace of displeasure flashing in her eyes.

Even she, the master of a sect, couldn't accomplish this, yet a mere disciple like him claimed he could?

Just at that moment,

Suddenly, a streak of golden light drifted over from within the Grand Dao Sect, and a majestic aura of the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm descended abruptly!

Caught off guard, Bai Feng was pressed straight to his knees by the pressure.

Only Ji Qingyou remained standing, watching the sliding streak of golden light with a smile on her face.

Immediately following that, the golden light retracted, transforming into the appearance of a divine hound that materialized before everyone.

"Sect Master!"

"Where are you going, Sect Master!"

Trailing behind were the two panting protectors who had chased all the way here.

"Woof woof woof woof!"

Before Ji Qingyou's split soul, Ye Zhetian appeared extremely excited. It trotted in circles around her, deliberately releasing the aura of a sect master currently giving a sermon, looking immensely smug.

Ji Qingyou looked at it, feeling rather cheerful as well. Pointing at the terrified crowd trembling behind her, she said, "They want to listen to your sermon. Lead us inside and find us some seats."

"Woof woof!"

Hearing this, Ye Zhetian immediately lifted its chin with a disdainful air.

Ji Qingyou instantly understood what it meant and could only say helplessly, "Senior Brother." Only the two of them could hear this form of address.

"Woof woof woof!"

Having received long-overdue affirmation, Ye Zhetian became even happier. Its tail wagged more vigorously than ever as it barked a few times at the crowd, then proudly took the lead, striding toward the interior of the sect!
