After their shock, Perfected Yu Hua and Perfected Taiwu felt more pleased than anything else.
With an unprecedented paragon like Li Yu among the younger generation of the Great Xia Dynasty, there was no doubt the country would rise up in this tumultuous era.
At this moment, they felt unprecedented peace.
It was as if a lone boat in the middle of a raging storm had suddenly found a haven.
With Li Yu and Li Qingyun protecting the Great Xia Dynasty, there was no need to worry about trouble ahead.
What delighted the two of them more was that the Lingtian Mystic Realm was about to open in another three months.
At that time, the top elites of the Huaxia continent and the various factions of the Great Zenith Domain would enter the mystic realm to train and seek treasures.
It was a contest between countries, sects, and factions.
The struggle for resources and opportunities.
In the Lingtian Mystic Realm, filled with danger and opportunities, whoever was stronger could seize the initiative and snatch more opportunities and natural treasures.
However, this had always been the stage for the eternal empires, Holy Lands, and ancient families.
The countries north of the Huaxia continent could only find a sliver of a chance between the cracks. They could even get annihilated in the power struggle at any moment, becoming sacrifices in the process.
However, if the Great Xia Dynasty had monsters like Li Yu, the situation would be completely different.
Li Yu was absolutely invincible in the current era. He alone was enough to suppress all the prodigies in the world.
He would definitely shine in the Lingtian Mystic Realm this time and stun all the experts.
Thus, the two of them were filled with anticipation.
“Greetings, seniors!” Li Yu cupped his hands politely.
These two proved fearless when facing a powerhouse at the level of Crimson Dragon King and were willing to help his father.
Li Yu would remember this.
Furthermore, he knew that the Jade Pure Dao Sect was a true orthodox sect that cared for the world.
Therefore, he respected the Jade Pure Dao Sect.
“Little Cultivator Li, you’ve really broadened this old man’s horizons today. It’s the fortune of countless lifetimes for our Great Xia Dynasty to have a young hero like you!” Perfected Yu Hua was not stingy with his compliments and praised Li Yu endlessly.
Of course, he was not spouting nonsense. He was really expressing his inner thoughts out of shock and joy.
He knew why Li Yu had refused to join any sect or power back then, and he understood why the Heavenly Dao Rankings had repeatedly rewarded him with additional rewards.
This kid was not a hidden dragon but a true dragon!
“Senior is too kind! I must thank both of you for your help today!” Li Yu smiled and thanked them politely.
“Compared to you, what we have done is simply not worth mentioning! Oh yes, Young Cultivator Li, I wonder if my Jade Pure Dao Sect has the honor of inviting you to be an honorary elder!” Perfected Yu Hua cupped his hands and asked with a sincere and solemn attitude.
“Honorary Elder?” Li Yu was slightly surprised.
He had heard of such a title before. It was just a name, and he did not need to work.
He could also enter the Jade Pure Dao Sect at will and enjoy the various privileges of an elder.
It was like the idler from his previous life who simply held a title and received a salary for it.
Of course, the Jade Pure Dao Sect could also utilize Li Yu’s reputation to improve its influence.
It was a form of mutual benefit.
At the same time, it was a way to tie the two sects together and establish close ties.
“Young Cultivator Yu, you can rest assured. You are only an honorary elder. You don’t have to do anything, and it won’t restrict your freedom. You are still you. You only have an additional title and status. Plus, you can enjoy the privileges of an elder in my sect. In the future, you can enter and leave our sect freely!” Perfected Yu Hua added.
“Senior, it would be impolite for me to decline your invitation!” Li Yu cupped his hands with a smile. He would accept such an offer, reluctantly, of course.
Yep, it’s not a big deal.
“This is great! It’s my Jade Pure Dao Sect’s honor!” Perfected Yu Hua was overjoyed.
He immediately promised that he would choose an auspicious day to hold the appointment ceremony for Li Yu once he returned.
The Jade Pure Dao Sect wanted to solemnly announce to the world that Li Yu would be their sect’s honorary elder.
After that, Li Qingyun invited Perfected Yu Hua and Perfected Taiwu into the Daoist temple for a chat.
Li Yu changed into a new Daoist robe. After bidding farewell to the three of them, he rode the flood dragon to Nan’an City.
After all, the recruitment of disciples was not over yet, and he had to oversee it.
The flying speed of the flood dragon was extremely fast, and its top speed was almost comparable to the fighter planes in his previous life.
They arrived at Nan’an City in less than half an hour from Nine-tailed Mountain.
If he was not strong enough, he would not be able to withstand such a terrifying speed.
The sonic boom alone could kill.
Soon, Nan’an City was in sight, and the flood dragon slowed down.
As the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, no one was supposed to fly on magic treasures and spirit beasts above Nan’an City.
However, the rules were only limited to the ordinary people at the bottom. In the face of absolute power, all the rules were useless.
Thus, when they saw the enormous flood dragon flying over from the sky, the city guards could not think of anything else other than shock and panic.
Although flood dragons were not true dragons, their physiques and appearance were already very similar to dragons.
Ordinary people had never even seen a true dragon before, let alone distinguish whether it was a true dragon or a flood dragon.
That mountain-like, majestic figure was similarly shocking and gave others an invisible pressure.
Therefore, when the flood dragon flew into Nan’an City, the entire city was in an uproar.
“Dragon, it’s a dragon!”
“Oh my, I just saw the legendary dragon!”
Countless citizens looked up at the purple lightning flood dragon in shock.
At the Dao Seeking Square, the recruitment for the Hundred Sects was still ongoing. There was still a sea of people at the Qingyun Sect’s recruitment station.
Ji Qinglan and Su Mu seemed to have already taken up their roles.
Ji Qinglan was in charge of directing those few retainers to maintain order, while Su Mu helped Ye Qiu with registration.
The three of them cooperated surprisingly well over a short time.
Although the scene was lively, everyone’s mood seemed to be shrouded in a layer of gloom, and they were slightly anxious.
They had heard from the Five Elements Sect disciple not long ago about the power of the Crimson Dragon King from the Great Zenith Domain.
That old monster rode the flood dragon like a god from the nine heavens, destroying the Protective Mountain Array at the Five Spirit Peak with a wave of his hand.
The power of the palm seemed to collapse the sky. The color of heaven and earth changed, and all things went silent.
The Five Elements Sect’s sect master and all the elders died under that terrifying power.
And his cultivation was at least at the legendary Profound Void Martial Stage.
Indeed, to the people of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Profound Void Martial Stage only existed in legends like immortals.
They had never seen anyone at the Profound Void Martial Stage.
Therefore, when they heard that the Crimson Dragon King was at the Profound Void Martial Stage, it cast a shadow over the situation.
They began to worry for the Qingyun Sect and Li Yu.
“Senior Brother Ye, is Senior Brother Li really fine?” Su Mu voiced the concern in his heart.
The surrounding boys and girls also stared at Ye Qiu with grave expressions.
They did not wish the heroic Li Yu to die young.
“Heh heh, don’t worry. Senior Brother’s strength is unfathomable. Furthermore, our sect master is around too. He’s an expert from the Divine Firmament Holy Land!” Ye Qiu smiled.
However, to be honest, he was not as confident as he presented himself.
After all, to him, the Profound Void Martial Stage was an existence as powerful as a god.
Although he knew that Li Yu was strong, he was not sure if he could defeat someone at the Profound Void Martial Stage.
