“The Daoist Court has agreed, and the family has no say in it.”
“As a result, this huge Qianlong Spirit Mine has fallen onto the heads of hundreds and thousands of Sects within the Qianxue State Boundary.”
“But such a large amount of Spirit Stones, how exactly to divide them, has also become an issue…”
Mo Hua understood and then said, “Tao Discussion Meeting?”
“Yes.” Situ Jian nodded, “Sect Disciples will participate in the Tao Discussion Meeting to determine their rankings.”
“This ranking affects the order of the Sects, and the order of the Sects determines the share of the Qianlong Mountain, that massive Spirit Mine.”
“That is a gargantuan Spirit Mine, any tiny share means a massive volume of Spirit Stones.”
“And Spirit Stones are the foundation for the development of a Sect.”
“So, the Tao Discussion Meeting is not just about the personal future of the Disciples, but it is closely related to the interests of the Sect and its future development…”
“So that’s how it is…”
Mo Hua came to a realization and nodded slightly.
“Junior Brother, it seems that this year’s Tao Discussion Meeting has already started, do you want to go and see?” Situ Jian also asked from the side.
After pondering for a moment, Mo Hua replied: “Sure.”
He also wanted to know what exactly the Tao Discussion Meeting was like.
As for reaching the Foundation Building Middle Stage, it was happening soon anyway, not in a rush for these two days.
Thus, Mo Hua gave himself a half-day off and went to watch the Tao Discussion Meeting along with Cheng Mo and Situ Jian.
The Tao Discussion Meeting is held on the Dao Mountain in the central Qianxue State Boundary.
From the outside, Mount of Tao is majestic and solemn, with a Large Formation constructed around it.
Mo Hua could tell at a glance, this was a Large Formation.
Moreover, it was not a closed Large Formation, but one that was slightly activated.
Above the Large Formation, light flowed, the aura was astonishing, like a giant beast lying dormant, gently breathing.
“This Formation is…”
Mo Hua looked towards Cheng Mo and Situ Jian, was about to ask something, but seeing their expressions were even more shocked than his, he did not voice his question.
Never mind, the matters of the Formation, it’s better not to trouble them.
The requirements for entering the Tao Discussion Meeting are not strict, as long as one is a Sect Disciple within the Qianxue State Boundary.
The three of Mo Hua arrived at the mountain gate entrance, showed their Taixu Tokens, confirmed their identities as Sect Disciples, and were allowed to enter the Mount of Tao.
To enter the Mount of Tao is to enter the inside of the Large Formation.
Cheng Mo and Situ Jian were somewhat baffled, not understanding anything.
But to Mo Hua’s perception, the vastness and mysterious grandeur of the Large Formation, as well as the immense and boundless spiritual aura, were extremely intense.
He could even faintly sense the intricate movements of the high-grade Formation Patterns throughout the whole mountain, as well as the profound yet unruffled movement of the massive, ocean-like Spiritual Power…
Mo Hua was profoundly moved, his eyes wide open.
Truly worthy of being the Fifth Grade Qianxue State Boundary, so many grand things!
He wondered when he could set up a Large Formation of this grade himself…
Mo Hua longed with anticipation.
Situ Jian walked with Mo Hua, explaining as they went:
“The Tao Discussion Meeting will assess in the order of Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Runes, Formation.”
“Debating Sword is somewhat different, due to the long cycle, more competitions, hence the timing of each session may vary, but generally it will not coincide with the Alchemy, Artifact, Rune, Formation discussions…”
The three talked and walked together.
Nearing the Taoist Field, indeed it was a sea of people, not only the Taixu Gate, but disciples from the other Four Great Sects, Eight Great Gates, Twelve Streams, as well as Qian Learning Hundred Gates were all present to watch.
Around the Taoist Field, it was bustling with excitement, full of young disciples wearing various Sect Taoist Robes, with dashing handsome youths as well as lovely young ladies with elegant figures.
Cheng Mo was somewhat yearning, “Do you think, if I demonstrated great prowess in the Sword Discussion Conference six years from now, making a name for myself, would these girls and fellow junior sisters adore me and insist on devoting themselves to me…”
Situ Jian patted his shoulder, sighed, and said:
“This place is crowded; if you’re daydreaming, it would be better to move somewhere else.”
Cheng Mo was taken aback, then somewhat annoyed, he lowered his voice and said:
“Well, Situ Jian, how dare you look down on me! Let’s find a place to spar, we’ll see if your sword is faster or if my axe is harder…”
Mo Hua felt a bit helpless and sighed, “Alright.”
“Okay, Junior Brother.” Cheng Mo immediately became amenable and then gave Situ Jian a look, whispering:
“Out of respect for Junior Brother, I won’t hold this against you.”
Situ Jian shook his head.
Meanwhile, the Alchemy Conference had already begun.
