Conor Hopkins and Tianying were both formidable figures, having gone through four cycles of Nirvana in nine epochs. When they eagerly went to curry favor with the lady in the sedan, they were scolded and told to scram.
So, who was this lady in the sedan? What was her cultivation level to give her the audacity to show no respect for these two experts?
However, soon enough, Yusuf Zuck and Demi Garrett overheard whispered conversations around them and learned that the lady was called Natalie Sheppard, also a four-ti Nirvana in nine epochs.
She was on the sa level as Conor Hopkins and Tianying.
But why was she so domineering?
Many people were puzzled, and many were confused, yet Natalie Sheppard’s presence was indeed grand, and those around her were extraordinary as well.
Yusuf Zuck initially thought that with Natalie Sheppard’s arrival, no more powerful figures would co. However, he quickly realized his mistake, as three or four more people arrived one after another, so with great pomp, so alone.
But according to people’s discussions, they were only fourth Nirvana, with none reaching the fifth cycle.
As night fell and everyone continued to wait, suddenly a flash of light appeared on the God Sealing Platform, and then a person manifested right in the center, causing such a commotion as if thunder had struck with a cracking sound.
Everyone was startled, but upon seeing this person, they imdiately gathered around, including Natalie Sheppard, who stepped out of the sedan willingly.
"Greetings, Senior Dominick..."
"Greetings, Senior Dominick..."
Many people addressed this person as Senior Dominick, even though he appeared only in his thirties, cultured and imposing.
"Brother, you’ve co." Natalie Sheppard cheerfully approached the man nad Dominick and called him brother.
The man nad Dominick gently ruffled her hair.
Yusuf Zuck and Demi Garrett exchanged a glance, realizing that the lady’s dominion was due to her formidable brother. But what level had this brother reached?
"Greetings, everyone, Dominick Sheppard here." As many people ca to exchange pleasantries, Dominick Sheppard clasped his fists and looked around, and everyone returned the gesture.
"Alright, are most people here? There’s still half a day until Heaven’s Gate opens. Shall we discuss our plan?" This Dominick Sheppard seed to be a significant figure. No one dared to take initiatives, but upon his arrival, he took up the role of host effortlessly.
"Yes, yes, it’s ti we discuss this matter thoroughly."
"With Senior Dominick leading us, it’s our fortune."
"We’ll follow Senior Dominick’s lead."
"Thank you all for your praise, thank you." This person seed born to lead, without deflecting with modesty, expressing only gratitude.
The murmurs from the crowd slowly faded, and Dominick Sheppard smiled and said aloud, "Since everyone trusts , I shall take this responsibility and strive to secure fortune and benefits for everyone."
"As everyone knows, this Sealing God’s Platform is ant to open Heaven’s Gate, but we have no knowledge of what’s inside. Legend says countless celestial deities were sealed by this very platform, rumored to be controlled by soone within Heaven’s Gate."
"Inside, there might be a creator, possibly The God of Creation, or even the Immortal seniors. However, our journey into Heaven’s Gate will surely be fraught with challenges, for fortune and danger coexist."
"Yet with unity and collaboration, all hardships can be conquered."
"Dominick Sheppard, humbled by your trust, feels honored and heavy-hearted, aware that as the leader, it’s my duty to secure benefits for all."
"Well, with half a day remaining, I propose setting a few principles. Are there any objections?" Dominick Sheppard smiled, scanning not just the high cultivators but even the small figures on the periphery.
Everyone could sense his arrogance and ego.
However, no one ca forward to challenge him, seemingly feared by all.
Yusuf Zuck and Demi Garrett were imnsely curious about what made this person so fearso.
"Alright, since there are no objections, I’ll proceed." With no dissenting voices, Dominick Sheppard smiled and said, "The first principle is to register the number of people present, nas, and cultivation levels."
"I’ll have Water Fairy and Dream Fairy handle this task, how about it?"
The two ladies who scattered flower baskets earlier, though appearing as maidservant types, were actually impressive figures.
"We have no objections." Many nodded in agreent, as everyone ca from different places, many unfamiliar with one another, thus requiring a census for anyone entering later.
"Very well." Dominick Sheppard nodded, continuing, "The second principle is to rank everyone according to cultivation level after registration, forming squads led by the strongest to ensure no life-threatening situations."
"Agreed."
"Agreed, that’s reasonable."
Many nodded, seeing nothing objectionable, as forming groups would be safer when entering Heaven’s Gate.
"Thirdly, I intend to set an example by sharing insights on Nirvana and hope others share theirs, allowing us all to progress together."
"Agreed."
"Absolutely agreed, gaining insights from seniors is a blessing for us all."
Everyone continued to agree.
"Alright, just these three points for now. Water Fairy and Dream Fairy, please conduct the census. Let’s sit together and chat."
"Yes." Water Fairy and Dream Fairy imdiately separated, pulling out paper and pen to record each individual.
Their speed was quick, and those being counted maintained order, presenting no trouble.
Yusuf Zuck and Demi Garrett were also registered, both giving false nas and cultivation levels, claiming to be seven epochs with a single Nirvana cycle, Yusuf as Mrs. Nash and Demi as Spring Mountain.
Together, their nas made Farm and Spring, and since they were just aliases, they made light of it.
After roughly two hours, registration was complete, and Dominick Sheppard signaled for Water Fairy and Dream Fairy to report publicly.
Water Fairy first said, "Everyone, there are a total of 299 cultivators present at the Sealing God’s Platform, including one nine-cycle five-ti Nirvana expert, Dominick Sheppard."
"There are nine four-ti Nirvana cultivators in the nine winds, including Natalie Sheppard, Conor Hopkins, Tianying, Water Fairy, and Dream Fairy..."
Turns out the two were also four-ti Nirvana, yet acted as Natalie Sheppard’s flower boys.
This surna Sheppard was exceedingly powerful, with unrivaled influence.
"There are twelve three-ti Nirvana cultivators, naly White, Guan Li, Bright..."
Then they introduced two-ti Nirvana and one-ti Nirvana individuals.
Among those gathered, the weakest were six epochs with one Nirvana cycle.
Only about twenty had one Nirvana cycle in seven epochs, including one being Mrs. Nash and another Spring Mountain.
But what surprised Yusuf Zuck, Demi Garrett, and others was that there were also three to five with one Nirvana cycle in six epochs, who kept a low profile, their cultivation levels indecipherable by anyone.
"Those few are not simple, be careful," Demi Garrett quietly warned.
