Chapter 549: Chapter 499 Sorry, I’m late! 19 more updates

Heavenly Gate Capital Peak towered majestically into the ninth heaven, seemingly piercing through to the Outer Domain, reaching an unimaginable height. Clouds and Spirit Fog surged around it.

From below, one could only see a mountain peak resembling a Sky-Reaching Pillar soaring into the clouds, its summit utterly obscured from view.

Legend had it that the Heavenly Gate Master had moved this King of Ten Thousand Mountains, the Emperor of Mountains, from another domain with his Heavenly Power. It was immensely magnificent, with even the Heavenly Stars revolving around it.

Ye Chen marveled, truly deserving of being the Heavenly Gate Master, akin to a legendary Divine being, who had actually relocated such a divine peak, a feat rare in antiquity.

The Main Hall stood beneath the starry sky, above the ninth heaven, overlooking the vast, endless land, positioned on the highest peak in the world, towering even higher than the mighty Divine City of Heavenly Saint City.

Boundless starlight descended from above the ninth heaven, cloaking the entire Heavenly Gate Main Peak. Bathed in its radiant, holy surges, it invoked a profound reverence from deep within.

The Main Hall was imposing and grand, sculpted with jade and resplendent with gold and splendor. The walls were carved with various Exotic Beasts from ancient to modern times, exuding a majestic aura as if the carvings themselves were Ancient Beasts.

The massive and majestic main doors swung open, revealing a spacious hall within, where a continuous feast was set.

At its deepest part stood a high Divine Throne, suspended in the void. The Heavenly Gate Master sat upon it, his posture noble, his eyes like stars, brows like swords, black hair cascading down his shoulders, his disposition both youthful and vigorous.

Yet, everyone knew that the Heavenly Gate Master’s age was far beyond his youthful appearance, possessing unmatched strength, standing among the cloud-adorned rank of Supreme Powerhouses, his authority and dominance incomparable.

Simply sitting there, he resembled an insurmountable Great Mountain, making everyone feel an immense oppressive force.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Gate Master had restrained his aura; otherwise, no one present could withstand the overwhelming presence of such an Ancient Power.

Below the master there were several thrones laid out for the most potent figures within the Heavenly Gate, including the Heavenly King’s Ministers, and others whose fame shook the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, each more formidable than a Saint.

Though none could match the Heavenly Gate Master, their contained aura still commanded a mountainous, imposing authority that even Saints would tremble before.

Whizzing sounds filled the air as streaks of light appeared, brought forth by the powerful presences of elders, renowned elders, and guest elders of the Heavenly Gate, each a long-renowned super expert.

On this day, many elders and important figures of the Heavenly Gate had received the master’s summons and had all headed to the Heavenly Gate Main Hall for an important announcement.

Such a command from the Sect Leader could not be taken lightly.

By midday, nearly all the key figures within the Heavenly Gate Capital Peak had arrived, and even those strong in the Heavenly Gate from afar had rushed back.

The assembly included many exceptional young talents, each with remarkable capabilities and radiant vigor, or breathtaking beauty, the likes that could enchant a city.

In recent years, with the rapid development of the Heavenly Gate, the Sect had not lacked in recruiting talented individuals from not only the Seven Great Domains but even beyond, attracting countless geniuses aiming to become disciples of the Heavenly Gate.

Everyone understood that the Heavenly Gate had only recently developed, lacking a solid foundation of disciples. Joining at this time would naturally afford the richest resources and double the cultivation results, making it the most opportune moment.

Of course, admission to Heavenly Gate was far from indiscriminate—those who wished to join had to pass through multiple rigorous selections, proving their worthiness to become a disciple of Heavenly Gate, with both their backgrounds and character thoroughly vetted, leaving no stone unturned.

Those who had made it to the main hall for the banquet were primarily freshly emerged young elites, each endowed with extraordinary potential, not just anyone could join.

These young Heavenly Prides, ordained to participate in the banquet, were all incredibly excited, casting fiery glances towards the central Divine Throne where the esteemed Sect Leader of Heavenly Gate sat high above, engendering a sense of admiration.

For the spirited youth of that era, the Sect Leader, a figure who overlooked generations with Great Power, was undeniably a divine-like figure they revered and idolized.

Ordinary days wouldn’t afford a glimpse of this legendary leader; even the high-ranking Supreme Elders within Heavenly Gate rarely saw the Sect Leader. Only a few ancestors at the level of Supreme Heavenly Kings possessed the privilege to regularly meet the Heavenly Gate Master. Unbelievably, he had appeared today.

Moreover, everyone was quite curious as to why the Heavenly Gate Master had ordered the return of all Super forces and arranged such a lavish banquet, wondering what it all truly meant.

Yet, the Sect Leader sat quietly on the Divine Throne, his eyes slightly closed, silent, emanating an imposing aura, which left everyone too intimidated to inquire, remaining silent.

"The Sect Leader is really very handsome," said a young noblewoman associated with a Supreme Elder, looking at the Sect Leader with infatuated eyes.

"Shh, don’t speak recklessly about the Sect Leader. He’s not someone we can aspire to climb to; better to think about more realistic matters," another breathtakingly beautiful young woman interjected, giving her a warning look.

Many elders, respected figures, or Guest Elders had brought their families or proud disciples. Among these were several young beauties who, gazing upon the Sect Leader atop the Divine Throne, felt their hearts flutter, their cheeks flushing with shyness.

Though they were all aware that despite his youthful appearance, the Sect Leader’s real age might make him old enough to be their great-grandfather.

But heroes indeed love beauties, and what beauty does not love a hero.

The name of the Heavenly Gate Sect Leader resonated across Heavenly and Myriads of Realms. In just a few decades, he had founded a Super Force that rivaled Immortal Forces and was close to being a Supreme Sacred Land, lacking only in comparable history.

All the powerhouses of Heavenly Gate believed that with enough time, they would achieve that status because the very existence of the Sect Leader represented everything.

Establishing such an Immortal Super Force overseeing Seven Great Domains was a feat beyond the reach of ordinary individuals, achievable only by a Peerless Sect Leader.

Compared to him, the so-called young talents pursuing these women on ordinary days were just fleeting sparks, utterly lackluster and dim.

While discussions continued below, the Sect Leader remained seated on the Divine Throne above, his eyes slightly closed, quiet and patient, as if waiting specifically for someone, stirring considerable curiosity about who had such magnitude of influence that even the Sect Leader awaited.

Yet no one dared ask; even Wang Chen among a few other Founding Ancestor-level figures kept their silence, aura of authority radiating.

In that moment, suddenly, the entire main hall fell silent.

For the Sect Leader opened his eyes, looking towards the grand doors of the main hall, where a young man and woman slowly emerged.

The usually silent Sect Leader spoke and even smiled, astonishing everyone in the main hall as he slowly said, "Finally, you have arrived..."

The evidently handsome young man replied with a gentle smile, "Sorry for being late!"
