Tan Yun pretended not to see anything and walked forward to prepare to sit next to Bai Cheng Divine King when Lingxia, the celestial master, waved at him, “Yun'er, you should sit beside me with Shiyin and Shimin.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present couldn’t help but gasp in surprise. They never expected that Tan Yun would be favored so deeply by Lingxia!
Soon, Tan Yun, along with Li Shimin and Shiyin, sat at the upper seat, while Xuan Yuan Rou took a seat beside Mu Feng Divine King.
At this moment, Lingxia smiled and said, “Today, this celestial master announces that Jing Yun is now my direct disciple.”
Upon hearing this, the gazes of the crowd toward Tan Yun changed. They knew that there was a vast difference between a named disciple and a direct disciple.
Everyone understood that Tan Yun could now cultivate the ultimate techniques of the celestial master: the Ten Thousand Paths Return to Origin Technique.
“Congratulations, congratulations!”
The myriad divine kings and family heads all voiced their congratulations.
The supreme divine king stood up and said, “Young Master Jing, you are talented and will surely achieve great things in the future!”
“Thank you for your praise, divine king.” Tan Yun stood up and clasped his fists toward the supreme divine king, then turned to face Lingxia and said, “Master, there’s still half an hour until the wedding begins.”
“Why don’t I tell you about my experiences in the God-Eating Abyss?”
Lingxia responded, “Good, I’m quite curious about the independent spatial-temporal realm of the God-Eating Abyss in the last universe.”
The intelligent Xuan Yuan Rou revealed a glint of insight in her beautiful eyes; she had already guessed Tan Yun’s intention.
“Your disciple obeys.” After Tan Yun finished speaking, he stood up and scanned the crowd, starting to recount his experiences in the God-Eating Abyss.
He spoke of the purple evil spirit he encountered in the last universe, which shocked everyone when they learned that the purple evil spirit could even imprison people’s spirit pools.
When he mentioned the ancient blue luan on the Ancient Divine Mountain, the crowd’s eyes were filled with curiosity.
In everyone’s mind, the ancient blue luan was merely a legendary existence. It was said that with the great cosmic destruction of the last universe, the ancient blue luan, which led the six clans of the azure luan, had vanished without a trace. They never expected that there was still one in the God-Eating Abyss...
Half an hour had passed, and everyone was captivated by the tale.
“Divine king, the bride and groom are about to arrive; the wedding is about to start.” At that moment, an old servant of the supreme divine king stepped into the Guest Hall and respectfully addressed him.
Hearing this, the supreme divine king nodded and said, “Alright, I understand. You may leave.”
“Old servant takes his leave.” After the old servant left, Tan Yun sent a voice transmission to Bai Cheng Divine King, saying, “Please cooperate and ask me if anyone died in the God-Eating Abyss.”
“Understood.” After sending the voice transmission, Bai Cheng Divine King looked at Tan Yun and kindly asked, “Yun'er, did any of our talented individuals from the Primordial Chaos Divine Realm suffer casualties when they entered the God-Eating Abyss?”
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun fell silent, his eyes filled with sympathy as he looked toward Gongsun Zhuanglie at the table.
“What does this kid mean by looking at me?” Gongsun Zhuanglie thought to himself, a sense of foreboding rising within him. “Could something have happened to Shanshan? No, that can’t be! My daughter has exceptional talent; she wouldn’t be in danger!”
While Gongsun Zhuanglie was lost in thought, Tan Yun’s next words struck him like a bolt from the blue!
“Alas.” Tan Yun sighed and said, “Head of the Gongsun Family, unfortunately, your daughter Gongsun Shanshan has perished in the God-Eating Abyss.”
