Qian Xing looks around fifteen or sixteen years old, with short white hair, a face still tinged with childlike innocence, dressed in ordinary shorts and a T-shirt, resembling a homebound internet-addicted teenager.
But facing him, the five Nascent Soul Superiors from the Immortal Gate who wield authority over their respective domains on Gathering-Immortals Peak, all wear expressions of respectful homage.
"Great Ancestor, this year is when the Immortal Gate undergoes its change of term."
One of them, a tall and upright old cultivator clad in a wide silvery-white robe, responded.
He is the Head of Immortal Affairs, an elderly individual with the countenance of a child yet white hair, named Lin Daoming.
Among the six people present, he was the sole one whose appearance betrayed his age, with hands like withered branches, yet with a voice as clear and deep as a babbling brook.
Lin Daoming has governed over Immortal Gate for just eight sixty-year cycles.
