"It's unsurprising with Brother Ji, just a few days at the Celestial Emperor's Mansion and he has already stirred such a storm."

At a location on Celestial Peak, Ning Bufan and several others, Gu Hao included, were gathered together cultivating, clearly having heard the news and couldn't help but discuss it.

Jiang Yan spoke, "How did this guy pull it off, actually defeating Ghost Sword? And it's said that he didn't even use the Hongmeng Body, only relying on Sword Technique and Emperor Scripture to defeat the opponent, without showcasing his strongest trump card."

Even with their understanding of Ji Chen, upon hearing the news, they were nonetheless incredibly surprised.

Also from Daoxuan, they knew better than anyone else that the Great Success Hongmeng Body was Ji Chen's strongest trump card.

They thought he had won the battle against Sword Wushuang by using the Hongmeng Body, but the circulating news clearly indicated otherwise.

"Speaking of which, we've also been at the Celestial Emperor's Mansion for a while, and now that Brother Ji's reputation is rising, should we go see him?" Gu Hao suggested.

Everyone nodded without hesitation, quickly got up, and headed toward Spirit Peak.

"The fairies are here too?"

When they arrived at Qixian Residence, they were taken aback to see Si Ruyan, Huang Shuying, and others had already arrived before them.

"Sit."

Ji Chen rose to welcome them and led them to the courtyard to sit together.

After Ning Bufan and the others, many others arrived at Ji Chen's Qixian Residence, including Mo Cheng, Ye Yunge, and even the Ape Prince and Dragon Heir, all young kings from Daoxuan, gathering once more.

"Your defeat of Sword Wushuang this time has drawn much attention from many at the Celestial Emperor's Mansion, especially Shen Yan; he might not let this go easily, so you should be careful, I've heard that Shen Yan is not weak," said Dao Inference Saint Heir.

He also joined Dao Peak, the same as Shen Yan and Sword Wushuang.

And over these few days, he'd heard many rumors about Shen Yan at Dao Peak, knowing that this person couldn't be underestimated.

Ning Bufan also nodded, "It's said this person has Half-Saint Cultivation, with many experts following him under the 'Cyan Gate', Sword Wushuang being just one among them, besides him, many top experts in Cyan Gate heed Shen Yan."

"Cyan Gate?" Ji Chen was taken aback.

Huang Shuying said, "There are many forces in the Celestial Emperor's Mansion, all formed by some outstanding disciples, Cyan Gate is one, organized by Shen Yan, recruiting many experts like Sword Wushuang."

"Besides Cyan Gate, there are also 'Flame Hall', 'Wind and Thunder Hall', and other forces, all quite powerful, led by extraordinary figures, recently a new batch of disciples joined the mansion, with many recruited by these forces."

Hearing this, Ji Chen couldn't help but squint his eyes, "It seems the waters in the Celestial Emperor's Mansion are much deeper than we imagined."

Then he looked at everyone, "Have any of you joined any force?"

"Many forces did try to recruit me, but I refused them all," Jiang Yan said.

The rest seemed to have the same experience, with various forces trying to recruit them, but they chose to observe for now, at least to first understand the current landscape of the Celestial Emperor's Mansion.

"I have an idea, we are all from Daoxuan, why not form our own force?" Si Ruyan suddenly suggested.

"It's a good idea, but executing it may not be as easy as imagined, with so many intermingling forces at the Celestial Emperor's Mansion, forming a new force would surely face a lot of resistance and suppression," Gu Hao said.

"I agree to form one, we can recruit everyone from Daoxuan, so if there's trouble in the future, we can solve it together," Saintess Qing Ling also voiced her agreement.

Everyone quickly began discussing around this topic.

Eventually, after voting, they decided and chose Ji Chen as the representative of this new force.

After all, having just defeated Ghost Sword, he had already gained some fame in the Celestial Emperor's Mansion, and by this, he might be able to effectively recruit people in the future.

Ji Chen unwittingly agreed, as it was hard to refuse such enthusiasm, and he indeed supported the idea.

"What should our new force be called then?" Mo Cheng inquired.

"Daoxuan... Ji Chen... how about Dao Dust Pavilion?" someone suggested.

"It's a good name, if no one objects, let's decide on this, and later notify other Daoxuan people to see if they want to join," Si Ruyan said.

"Like Cyan Gate, Flame Hall, and other forces have headquarters in Celestial Emperor City, our Dao Dust Pavilion should have one too, as a future meeting place."

"There should be some vacant places in the city, which we can rent, as for rent..."

Ning Bufan said, "Rent is not cheap, it's said that right now it costs at least ten to twenty Spirit Crystal Stones per month, how about we all share the cost?"

None objected to this, everyone took out their Spirit Crystal Stones, and they managed to gather exactly twenty.

The attendees were all young kings from Daoxuan, although overall not as powerful as those who had joined the mansion years ago, their potential was strong, with Ancient Race princes, Divine Body Jiang Yan, Dao Body, Sun Body, and Ning Bufan, all having great cultivation prospects.

Thus, when joining their chosen peak early on, they received some Spirit Crystal Stones as rewards, so naturally, they could gather some now.

"I plan to open a shop in Celestial Emperor City to sell some Elixirs, do any of you have things you'd like to sell to exchange for Spirit Crystal Stones for cultivation?" Ji Chen proposed, sharing his idea.

This also interested everyone, knowing that Spirit Crystal Stones were precious in the Celestial Emperor's Mansion, and if they could acquire more, it would indeed be beneficial.

The shop and Dao Dust Pavilion headquarters matters were entrusted to Si Ruyan to handle, as Ji Chen planned to absorb the remaining Spirit Crystal Stones to attempt a breakthrough to the Void Realm soon.

After discussing everything thoroughly, everyone left Ji Chen's Qixian Residence and passed the message to other disciples from Daoxuan.

Many responded eagerly upon knowing Dao Dust Pavilion would form.

Most of them had backgrounds much less significant than Ning Bufan, Dragon Heir, etc., and thus were not highly regarded by the Celestial Emperor's Mansion, so to establish themselves there, they naturally needed some help.

And Dao Dust Pavilion would undoubtedly be their best choice, as they all came from the Daoxuan Star Realm, and any future difficulties could be resolved there.
