Chapter 172: Chapter 139 Ascension (Request for Monthly Ticket)_3

"What on earth is happening? Why has the concentration of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi suddenly increased so much?"

"The sky is manifesting such unusual phenomena; let’s hope no more trouble arises."

...

At this moment, the doors of the Divine Sword Hall opened.

"Please invite all the elder Peak Masters to enter the hall for a discussion."

An Inner Sect Disciple said.

Consequently, numerous influential elders and Peak Masters proceeded inside.

Besides Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu, Xiao Wendao, the Heavenly Person, was also present.

Once everyone was seated, Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu began, "Everyone has seen the phenomenon that appeared in the sky just before."

"Sect Leader, do you know what situation this is?"

An influential elder asked.

"I do not know, but... what I’m about to discuss is of utmost importance."

Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu shook his head and said, "Not long ago, the Imperial Family sent us a secret letter, mentioning that such celestial phenomena may occur, advising us not to worry, and suggesting it might even benefit us."

"The increased concentration of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi does indeed bring quite a few benefits to our cultivation."

The crowd nodded in agreement.

For Martial Artists above the Innate Realm, the higher the concentration of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, the easier it becomes to cultivate.

"Furthermore, to reinforce our response to the increasingly severe demon calamities, the Imperial Family has adjusted the administrative divisions of the Dao regions at the first level, finally reducing them to eleven regions. They have abolished the titles of sealed nations. Our Tai Xing Dao, Shu Chuan Dao, and Kunwu Road have been merged into Taiwu Dao... Additionally, aside from the Jingwu Dao centered around Jade Capital, the remaining ten regions will each establish a Dao Mansion, respecting the Dao Master’s position, who will lead the Martial Arts forces within the region."

Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu stated. _{freēwēbnovel.com}

"Uh... Which power will hold the position of Dao Master?"

Dishui Peak Master Yun Lei asked in surprise, "Isn’t the authority attached to the position of Dao Master a bit too great?"

There are more than ten major Martial Arts sects and forces in the current three great sealed nations, excluding the three great royal houses.

If the Dao Master is to emerge from the forces within the region, the question remains, which force holds an absolute advantage?

Under such circumstances, even if one assumes the position of Dao Master, it would be challenging to command the respect of other forces, possibly exacerbating conflicts and leading to a chaotic situation.

"According to the secret letter from the Imperial Family, a candidate has already been selected for the position of Dao Master and will be appointed from above."

Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu shook his head.

"What, appointed from above?"

Those present were even more astonished.

Originally, when the Qi Royal House and He Family were sent from above, it was acceptable because the Luo Royal House was eradicated, and a power vacuum emerged in Tai Xing Dao. Now that three sealed nations have been consolidated into one Dao Mansion, appointing a Dao Master from above... would they really be able to suppress the numerous Martial Arts forces of the three sealed nations?

It seems highly unlikely.

"Great grand-uncle, what is your view on this matter?"

Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu turned to Xiao Wendao, who had been silent.

"Let’s wait and see. This matter is probably not as straightforward as it seems..."

Xiao Wendao shook his head.

Even he could not comprehend the Imperial Family’s maneuvers.

...

Several days later.

In Xuanzhou, Changle County.
