"Congratulations to the Great Sun Celestial Lord, on advancing your cultivation!"
Upon the arrival of the green-clothed youth, a circle of Celestial Lords from the Xianmen Sect spoke in unison to offer their congratulations.
"Haha, esteemed seniors, fellow Daoists, no need for such formality."
Jiang Ding smiled gently and said, "This is merely some slight progress. It's still far from being able to influence the main battlefield of the Xianmen Sect, so there's really no need to be so solemn."
"Humble, huh? Trying to play that game with me."
"Don't think I don't know your tail's already wagging with pride..."
The surrounding Celestial Lords laughed and teased.
After a bout of banter, with mutual flattery and joking flowing freely among them, they soon shifted to discussing principles and philosophy, as was their habit, transitioning naturally into topics of research and cultivation.
