A vast, boundless azure sea stretched out, with numerous white clouds filling the sky above. From a distance, they looked like a sea of white clouds.
A beam of blue light and a beam of golden light appeared on the distant horizon, stopping after a flash to reveal the Azure Nether Boat and a golden flying boat.
Wang Banyuan and dozens of other clan members stood on the deck, their expressions varied.
"Is this the Flowing Cloud Sea?" Ye Haitang murmured to herself, gazing at the white clouds high in the sky.
Wang Banyuan quickly walked to the blue pavilion and announced, "Ancestor, we have arrived at the Flowing Cloud Sea."
"Finally, we're here," Wang Changsheng's voice rang out.
As soon as he spoke, Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Cang Feng, and Yuan Yue emerged from the pavilion.
They had been chatting and sharing cultivation insights over tea in the pavilion, and time had flown by quickly; they had already arrived at the Flowing Cloud Sea.
A beam of white light appeared on the distant horizon, swiftly flying towards them.
Not long after, Wang Changsheng clearly saw the true form of the white light—a white cloud, with a team of cultivators standing upon it, led by a tall young man in a white robe.
The young man in the white robe had snow-white skin, white hair, and white eyes. His physique was more than twice as large as a human's; he was a member of the Snow Clan. The white cloud glowed with white light, naturally not an ordinary object, but a flying immortal artifact.
The Flowing Cloud Sea region is rich in Flowing Cloud Stone, a material commonly used to refine flying immortal artifacts.
The young man in the white robe, who had cultivation at the early Golden Immortal stage, saw Cang Feng and exclaimed softly, then smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Cang, long time no see. Are you here to attend Fellow Daoist Ye's Golden Immortal Grand Ceremony?"
From his words, it was clear he knew Cang Feng.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, long time no see. Allow me to introduce you," Cang Feng said. "These two are the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple that Immortal Ye mentioned."
"The Azure Lotus Immortal Couple!" The young man in the white robe's expression tightened. He cupped his fists and said, "I am Bai Bin. It is a pleasure to meet Fellow Daoist Wang and Madam Wang."
"Fellow Daoist Bai, you are too kind." Wang Changsheng quickly returned the greeting, surprised that Ye Xuanji had mentioned them to so many Golden Immortal cultivators.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, where are you headed? Aren't you attending Fellow Daoist Ye's Golden Immortal Grand Ceremony on Flowing Cloud Island?" Cang Feng asked casually.
"The Golden Immortal Grand Ceremony is still some time away. I have some matters to attend to, so I'll go later. You all go ahead!" After Bai Bin finished speaking, the white cloud beneath his feet glowed with white light and flew off into the distance.
Cang Feng nodded, formed a hand seal, and the golden flying boat sped forward.
Wang Changsheng piloted the Azure Nether Boat, following closely and flying parallel to the golden flying boat.
More than half an hour later, the Azure Nether Boat and the golden flying boat slowed down. Ahead of them was a boundless azure sea.
A team of Ye family cultivators flew towards them, led by a graceful young woman in a white dress who possessed cultivation at the late True Immortal stage.
"This junior, Ye Yunbing, greets Senior Cang, Senior Yuan, Senior Wang, and Senior Wang," the young woman in the white dress said, bowing respectfully.
The Ye family and the Ephemera tribe were allies. Cang Feng and Yuan Yue had visited Flowing Cloud Island many times, so Ye Yunbing naturally recognized them.
Before the Golden Immortal Grand Ceremony was convened, the Ye family's patrolling cultivators had already viewed portraits of many Golden Immortal cultivators to facilitate identification and avoid any lapse in etiquette.
"Young friend Ye, long time no see," Cang Feng said with a smile. "We were invited by your Ye family to attend Fellow Daoist Ye's Golden Immortal Grand Ceremony."
An Ephemera tribe cultivator flicked his sleeve, and a golden invitation card flew out towards Ye Yunbing.
Wang Banyuan also took out an invitation card and handed it to Ye Yunbing for inspection.
Ye Yunbing took the invitation cards, glanced at them, then made a gesture of invitation and politely said, "Four seniors, please follow me."
Ye Yunbing led the way for them, while other Ye family cultivators continued their patrol.
Before long, Ye Yunbing stopped. Ahead was a vast, enormous island which, when viewed from high in the sky, resembled a white cloud.
The island was covered with exotic flowers and strange plants, jagged rocks, and immortal cranes calling in unison. Waterfalls cascaded from the sky, and rays of colorful light shimmered everywhere.
This was Flowing Cloud Island, the ancestral land of the Ye family in the immortal realm.
Upon entering Flowing Cloud Island, they followed Ye Yunbing to a vast white stone plaza. In the plaza stood a palace shimmering with white light, its plaque inscribed with the three golden characters: "Guest Welcome Hall."
A dignified old man in a white robe walked out, his eyes bright and piercing. A team of Ye family cultivators followed behind him.
"Patriarch," Ye Yunbing introduced, "the Ephemera tribe and the Azure Lotus Wang family are here to attend Ancestor Shengxuan's Golden Immortal Grand Ceremony."
"This old man is Ye Yishan. Fellow Daoist Cang, Fellow Daoist Wang, you've had a long journey. Please have some tea to refresh yourselves. Yun Sheng, please settle the kin of Fellow Daoist Cang and Fellow Daoist Wang," the white-robed old man said.
The four, including Wang Changsheng, followed Ye Yishan into the Guest Welcome Hall. As soon as they sat down, a white-robed attendant walked in carrying four cups of spirit tea, then placed the tea down and withdrew.
The tea was snow-white, steaming, and emitted a unique fragrance.
Cang Feng picked up his teacup, took a sip, and a look of enchantment appeared on his face.
Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan took a sip. As the tea entered their stomachs, a coolness rose in their bellies, making them feel refreshed. They could clearly feel their divine souls growing slightly.
It is important to note that the divine souls of Golden Immortal cultivators were already extremely powerful, so for a single sip of spirit tea to increase them even slightly indicated that for True Immortal cultivators, the effect would certainly be even more profound.
Ye Yishan offering this tea to entertain them showed both the power of the Ye family and their generosity.
"Flowing Cloud Immortal Tea! It's been a long time since I've had this," Cang Feng said with a smile after finishing his tea.
"Flowing Cloud Immortal Tea is nothing," Ye Yishan said with a slight smile. "When the Golden Immortal Grand Ceremony begins, we will have even better things."
He took out a white magical disk, cast a spell into it, and a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, Madam Wang," Ye Yishan said, "the Ancestor has invited you over; she wishes to meet you."
Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were stunned. They had never imagined that Immortal Flowing Cloud would personally request to see them. Cang Feng and Yuan Yue looked on with envy.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, Madam Wang, congratulations! Hurry and go!" Cang Feng said.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, will you lead us there, or...?" Wang Changsheng asked curiously.
"The Ancestor has already sent someone," Ye Yishan said.
No sooner had he spoken than a beam of white light flew in, landing inside the hall and revealing a tall young man in a white robe, radiating powerful demonic energy, clearly a member of the demon race.
"Two fellow Daoists, my master has been waiting for a long time. Please follow me," the young man in the white robe said politely.
Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan nodded, then followed the young man in the white robe and left. They arrived at a vast estate, landing in a secluded small courtyard.
Within the courtyard was a white stone pavilion, surrounded by exotic flowers and strange plants.
A graceful young woman in a white dress sat in the stone pavilion. Ye Xuanji and a tall young man in a silver robe stood beside her, their expressions respectful.
The young woman in the white dress had delicate features and skin as white as snow. There was not the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power emanating from her.
"Master, Fellow Daoist Wang and Madam Wang have been brought," the young man in the white robe said to the young woman in the white dress.
"This junior, Wang Changsheng, and I, Wang Ruyan, greet Senior Ye," Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan said, bowing respectfully with solemn expressions.
Immortal Flowing Cloud sized up Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, who felt as if they were being seen through completely.
"Excellent. Xuanji has mentioned you to me many times, and indeed, as she said, you are truly outstanding individuals," Immortal Flowing Cloud said, her voice clear and pleasant to the ear.
"I am Ye Guangting. It is a pleasure to meet Fellow Daoist Wang and Madam Wang," the young man in the silver robe said with a smile, cupping his fists.
Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan quickly returned the greeting, not daring to be negligent.
