Brother Timothy is awesome!

The first round of the grand festival was for mingling, and the second for competition.

The third round of the grand festival was led by the ancient elders of the sacred land, who delivered sermons to the righteous monks who had gathered.

True to their reputation, the elders spoke for a full day and night, benefiting many monks immensely.

Especially the disciples who weren't very advanced but had great insight—they gained significantly, as if nourished by a spiritual spring.

Then, the Blooming Sanctuary officially hosted a grand banquet.

There was singing, dancing, and plenty of wine—a truly magnificent scene.

The banquet lasted three days and nights, and all the visiting monks left satisfied.

The bonds between the sects grew stronger, and many felt as if they had been spiritually cleansed, achieving great advancements in their realms.

Aside from the unexpected appearance of Thunder Sage, the festival went off without a hitch.
