A few supervisors are chatting in the pavilion.
In front of them, there are numerous scrolls and heaps of Jade Slips.
These almost encompass the dossiers of all the Tao cultivation influences within the Nine State that have reached a certain magnitude, have a certain scale, been formally recognized by the Taoist Court, and undergone assessment.
All matters regarding the assessment of these influences, demotion, promotion, naming, renaming, and delisting are decided by discussion among the cultivators of the Heavenly Right Pavilion.
Therefore, the cultivators of the Heavenly Right Pavilion hold great power, but their affairs are equally busy.
At this time, several supervisors of the Heavenly Right Pavilion are discussing the matter of the “Three Sects Unification” of Taixu Gate.
And in the middle of the pavilion, sits an “elder.”
This elder has a wooden face, a rigid expression, and skin like rotten wood, resembling a living puppet mechanically stamping various scrolls.
The seated supervisors chat among themselves, ignoring the “elder.”
…
“Qian Learning State Boundary, Tai’a, Chongxu, Taixu Three Gates merge, using ‘Taixu Gate’ as the name, combined into one sect…”
“This matter has dragged on for quite some time, the Pavilion Elder has spoken, it needs to be finished today.”
“But it’s just some follow-up work, the higher-ups have already nodded, we don’t need to take charge.”
“We are just supervisors, even if we want to make decisions, we aren’t qualified…”
“At least, we need to become Supervisor.”
“What are you thinking? Supervisor is not something you can do at will. Honestly, typical cultivators reaching the level of supervisor is the end of the road, don’t even think about Supervisor, even if you manage to reach there, without the ability, you won’t sit firmly.”
“Our Heavenly Right Pavilion’s Supervisor is relatively decent, unlike the Heaven Shu Pavilion, they handle formations and even involve heavenly secrets, without some capability, even if given the Supervisor position, you wouldn’t dare sit, or else you’d have bad luck.”
“Heavenly Right Pavilion isn’t simple either…”
“Alright, let’s not talk about this, focus on work.”
The pavilion falls silent for a while.
But as the work is tedious, after some time, someone speaks up:
“Taixu Gate… How come, in these times, there are sects willing to reunite after separation? For what purpose?”
“Couldn’t survive otherwise…”
“I heard there have been reforms in the Qian Learning State Boundary lately, frequent changes, fierce sect competition, probably about to drop out of the Eight Great Gates, thus forced to merge for survival.”
“No wonder…”
“What’s the point of reforms when everything was fine, causing so much unnecessary trouble.”
“People die for money, birds perish for food, sects are the same, outsiders like us can’t figure out the games inside.”
“That’s true as well…”
“However, since it’s the Three Sects Unification, why specifically use ‘Taixu Gate’ as the name?”
“It’s simple, Taixu Gate currently holds the greatest influence, is ranked higher, and haven’t you heard, Taixu Gate produced an Array Demon…”
“Demon?”
“You’ve never heard?”
One supervisor shakes his head, “Been working overtime, busy with the battles in the Southern Wilderness, haven’t heard.”
And someone asked, “What demon?”
“Ignorant, right,” the previous supervisor said, “Qian Learning State Boundary, Array Discussion Conference, a Taixu Sect disciple suddenly appeared, mid Foundation Establishment, yet drew the peak of the Nineteen-Pattern array, won the Array Leader.”
“This event even reached my Taoist State…”
“Mid Foundation Establishment, Nineteen-Pattern Array? Fake, right?”
“Impossible…”
“Divine Sense can’t be cultivated, even if born with it, it can’t exceed this much; there must be a trick. I don’t believe it…”
“Even in my Taoist State, the central hub of the Nine State, with remarkable talent, I haven’t seen such a genius…”
“Exaggerating too much.”
“Is the Qian Learning State Boundary so inexperienced? Don’t they know what surpassing Three Rank in Divine Sense means? Believing such absurdity?”
“Is the Qian Learning Sect trying to create momentum for a genius, boasting too much?”
“Indeed, I also don’t believe.”
Several supervisors shake their heads.
Someone says, “But the chief examiner of the Array Discussion Conference is from the Heaven Shu Pavilion of Taoist State, questioning Qianxue Sect is something, but surely you can’t doubt Heaven Shu Pavilion?”
“That’s true…”
“Misjudged?”
“What are you thinking? Fourth-grade Array Master, can they misjudge? They are more proficient in formations than the number of dossiers we’ve reviewed…”
“So could it be… there really is such a genius?”
