...

After hearing this.

"Senior Brother, haven't you been cultivating your body and mind recently? Why is your temper so volatile lately?"

Another person spoke, their tone familiar and smiling.

"Alright, putting everything else aside, at least the Sect's Great Formation needs to be changed, and recently the Nine Peaks have put forward some ideas and suggestions, proposing some revisions to the Sect's rules..."

Before the words fell.

An old man's voice, filled with a sense of vicissitude, slowly interrupted: "The methods of the ancestors have always been reasonable. Constantly changing them, yet not knowing that our cultivation is nothing more than cultivating the body and mind. Constantly pondering these things, on the contrary, leads us astray into side paths."

"If it were truly that easy to go astray, wouldn't that mean the karmic connection when first entering the Sect was incorrect?"

Someone else spoke up, their tone somewhat forceful.

"Those are merely insignificant minor techniques, how can they be the same as the Great Dao? There are many detours on the Great Dao we cultivation, so how can we determine that the initial karmic connection can determine a person's entire cultivation life?" Another voice calmly inserted into the topic.

"Since that's the case, if the karmic connection cannot be certain, why not expand the Mountain Gate recruitment? Relying solely on karmic connection, our disciples are showing signs of a shortage of successors, which is a decline visible to all of you!"

"Senior Brother, why would you say that!"

"Senior Brother, your words are mistaken..."

Numerous voices rose and fell, each holding their ground, unwilling to give up.

The highest figure above was vast and boundless, seeming to be in this realm, yet also in the land of the other shore, neither visible nor audible, as if his trace could not be found among all beings in heaven and earth, and his cause and effect could not be found within cause and effect.

As the discussion began, this figure remained silent.

Until the old, familiar arguments started again, and the atmosphere within the great hall seemed about to impact the Array Formation inside and outside the hall.

The figure raised his palm and lightly pressed down the spiritual light that flew due to the argument, causing the void to tremble.

The figure's clear and resonant voice said: "Everyone has been discussing this matter for some time. Since there is no result, let's temporarily put it aside. It's best to return to the main matters of the Sect's discussion now."

"Yes, Hall Master." Behind the blurred light of many figures, some frowned, some pondered, and a glint of light flashed in some eyes...

The Hall Master not mentioning this matter was equivalent to not promoting it. Apart from the Sect's Great Formation, which urgently needed changing, the other rules had already deeply penetrated the Profound Heaven Dao Sect from top to bottom, leaving deep marks in all the Small Realm and wildernesses. Tens of thousands of years have passed, and those involved are still living long lives.

Discussing changes, how could it be easy?

The figure sitting in the center was naturally the Sect Master of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, but many figures here called him the Hall Master. Although the title was different from the usual Sect Master or Gate Master, it was because the relationship between the Xuantian Dao Academy and the Profound Heaven Dao Sect was not as simple as that of the Outer Gate.

With the Hall Master speaking out, the remaining topics naturally followed.

"The Demon Sect is located in the four directions. Although there are fellow Daoist Immortal Sects united to suppress them, we still need to be cautious of their resurgence."

"Celestial phenomena have shown anomalies. The Profound Heaven Domain also needs to be reminded to guard against them."

"The coming great change is unpredictable as to when it will arrive. It is best for the disciples under our Sect to prepare as early as possible. We can appropriately dispatch some disciples to gain experience outside the Sect, or seek out some Great Era figures and bring them into our Sect."

"Great Era figures bear the Mandate of Heaven, and Celestial Secrets are chaotic and difficult to calculate. Even if they cannot be brought into the Sect, we must guard against the Demon Sect seizing them."

"These Cultivators from the Demon Sect have always been good at concealing themselves. I observed the technique of the teleportation array and it doesn't seem like a legitimate Demon Sect method. I'm afraid they obtained it through cooperation with others."

"There is one more matter. Abnormal tides have recently appeared along the coast of Nantian Continent, affecting some nearby mortal villages over a wide area..."

Without mentioning the changes to the old and new rules, the figures quickly began to become serious.

Messages were transmitted from the lowest level, filtered through rounds, and then, due to their difficulty, required the upper echelons of the Dao Sect to make decisions and judgments. After rounds of discussions, they were already quite familiar with the process.

"Regarding the Demon Sect matter, the Sword Lineage can handle it."

An indifferent and cold voice appeared.

"The matter of the abnormal tides on the coast will be handled by my branch's Doufa Peak."

"Bringing in Great Era figures will be handled by my branch's Divination Peak."

"The Demon Sect's objectives, this matter can be left to the Outer Gate to handle and liaise with other Sects..."

...

Voices one after another took on the tasks that came before them.

"Over at the Xuantian Dao Academy, the Qi Fortune is both boisterous and dim, like a bipolar phenomenon. This matter will also be left to the Outer Gate for handover."

"Good."

"Good."

Many voices said in unison.

"If there are no important matters, you may all disperse." The Hall Master made the final decision.

As the words fell.

Above the treasure platform, surges of aura, some grand and mysterious, some majestic and distant, some leisurely with immortal energy, and some ancient and serene, dispersed with a rumble.

The great hall returned to tranquility.

The two Senior Brothers left by the outermost Array Formation of the great hall also looked up at the high sky.

Seeing countless clouds above disperse and then re-gather.

They knew that this discussion had come to an end.

Senior Brother Bai Changshou's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he adopted a listening posture.

Junior Brother Liao Bufan also closed his mouth.

"disciple obeys!" Senior Brother Bai Changshou cupped his hands and bowed towards the hall.

He turned to look at Junior Brother Liao Bufan, "This task is also our Sword Lineage's turn."

"Senior Brother, what task is it?"

"It's related to the Demon Path."

"The Demon Path, no wonder."

On the other side, Wang Chunfeng also went to Sun Moon Peak. He was recognized among the disciples as a warm-hearted Senior Brother. Some Junior Brothers who joined later and those registered disciples had more or less received guidance from him.

"No, why did Junior Brother come to Sun Moon Peak? This road is really hard to find."

"East, so it must be this way."

Wang Chunfeng hadn't expected that his little Junior Brother's temperament was quite calm, looking as if he had no sharp edges.

He had originally been worried that without the challenges of the trials, the challenges from fellow disciples in the Dao field, it was normal for young people to be full of vigor and complacent.

When they first became disciples and entered the Sect, they also went through this, and further realized that there were always mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people.

"Junior Brother Lu!"

He looked curiously at Sun Moon Peak, with clouds and mist covering the mountain, the central mountain wilderness seemingly hidden yet not hidden, holding a flying talisman in his hand, he said.

Suddenly, a passage opened in the clouds and mist at the mountain peak, and a young figure appeared before his eyes.

It was Lu Qing.

While cultivating, he also put some thought into adjusting the spiritual charm of the Spiritual plants. His Spiritual plants were also placed in the cultivated Spiritual Fields. Having come to a new environment, they needed time to adapt.

In the future, once he had manpower, Lu Qing wouldn't need to specifically take care of them anymore.

"Senior Brother Wang, why do you have time to come over today?"

Lu Qing also smiled slightly when he saw Wang Chunfeng.

This Senior Brother Wang had a rather kind heart.

"Hahaha, I originally wanted to see if Junior Brother had found his cave dwelling."

The two walked in while chatting about recent events.

Upon reaching the courtyard, Wang Chunfeng took a look, "Junior Brother, your cultivation place here is quite serene, a good place to seek tranquility."

"Senior Brother is joking. I just enjoy planting Spiritual plants, and it just so happens there was an empty spot here, so I came."

Wang Chunfeng showed a hint of surprise, "So Junior Brother is a Spirit Planter. That's not bad. Although in our Sword Lineage, most focus on the sword, it's not extreme in one path. Since Junior Brother has made his choice, he can also cultivation leisurely."

"It's just that obtaining resources from Spiritual plants is slower. Junior Brother Lu still needs to consider it carefully."

After saying the first part, Wang Chunfeng still couldn't resist saying the latter sentence.

Lu Qing nodded slightly, "Senior Brother's words, I will keep them in mind. It's just that my heart is already set. Whether it's fast or slow, I don't really care."

Wang Chunfeng nodded upon hearing this, knowing that the Junior Brother before him already had his own plans, and changed the topic, no need to say more and annoy him.
