The atmosphere remained lively.
For the most part—
Everything unfolded exactly as one would expect from a celebration of this magnitude.
Laughter echoed.
Cups were raised.
Conversations flowed without end.
And then, the moment everyone had been waiting for finally arrived.
Mu Tianxuan appeared.
He stepped into the grand hall calmly, his presence steady yet profound.
The moment he appeared, the entire hall seemed to shift.
Then a wave erupted.
Congratulations poured in from all directions.
"Grandmaster Mu Tianxuan!"
"Congratulations on your breakthrough!"
"The Mu Clan's rise is unstoppable!"
Voices rose one after another.
Even those who had once stood in opposition stepped forward with smiles.
Zhao Wutian and Li Jianhong.
Their expressions were not pleasant.
But they hid it well.
Following the flow of the crowd, they too offered their congratulations.
Mu Tianxuan accepted everything calmly and gave a nod.
He neither appeared overly proud nor falsely humble.
