Despite maids bustling about and people occasionally entering, the dim hall remained extremely quiet.
All the Golden Core Cultivators sat serenely. Some, like Chu Mu, meditated with their eyes closed, ignoring worldly matters. Others conversed using Telepathy, so not the slightest sound could be heard.
The serving Maids and the young Artifact Refiner disciples of the Chen Family, in a place filled with Golden Core True Masters, naturally acted with extreme caution, not daring to step out of line in the slightest.
After about a quarter of an hour, a sudden fluctuation of Spiritual Qi rippled from the empty Jade Stone seat of honor at the head of the hall.
Immediately after, a strikingly out-of-place figure in white robes materialized.
"Greetings, Elder."
The Golden Core Cultivators rose one after another and bowed with clasped hands.
The Maids and the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining disciples in the hall all scrambled to prostrate themselves on the floor.
