Chapter 1416 - Roundabout Insult
The face of Jianmu Star's planet lord alternated between red and green. He clearly hadn't expected Liu Wuxie to dissolve his question in such a way.
"Hmph!" He snorted and flicked his sleeve, turning away. He didn't even offer Liu Wuxie a word of blessing for passing his trial.
Watching the planet lord leave, Liu Wuxie continued up the stairs. He would soon reach the summit. His steps stayed perfectly measured, each one so steady and precise that watching him climb felt pleasing to the eye.
Under the sunlight, the golden threads hidden in his red ceremonial robe glimmered faintly, framing him like a deity descending into the mortal world. The sight drew cheers from the surrounding female disciples.
"Senior brother, I want to give you a whole pile of Wuxies!"

"Junior brother, look here! Look what I prepared for you!" Their overlapping voices darkened the faces of the male disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
By now, Liu Wuxie had become the most popular person in the Heavenly Dragon Sect. Many elders even began to show open favor toward him. After all, he had tricked a group of Void Realm experts at the pinnacle of their realm into death, and even Earth Immortals struggled to do anything to him. A prodigy like him might not appear again even in ten thousand years.
Liu Wuxie, however, kept his composure. He only wanted to finish the ceremony quickly. He still didn't know how the Heavenly Dao Society was faring, and, even with the Martial Soul Art, he didn't know whether they could secure a foothold in the astral domain.
What he lacked was an opportunity to make the Heavenly Dao Society's name resound throughout the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain. If he wanted the Heavenly Dao Society to integrate into the astral domain truly, he needed the recognition of all its forces.
Although everyone already knew that he had founded the Heavenly Dao Society, most people still brushed it off as child's play. Establishing a true power required deep foundations, its own industries, and influence woven throughout the astral domain. The Heavenly Dao Society was still far from that standard.
When Liu Wuxie was a hundred steps away from the summit, two people appeared before him.
