As soon as these words were spoken, the room erupted in commotion.
Elder Shen paused for a moment before continuing to explain:
"In the following three sessions, this ranking will change each time."
"However, after three sessions, it will be finally determined, with the sect ranking remaining unchanged for a hundred years."
"Sect reform, three sessions of Dao Debate, ten years of time, to determine the ranking for the next hundred years. This reform will take place every hundred years, allowing the capable to rise..."
Elder Shen spoke earnestly:
"The positions of the Four Great Sects and the Eight Great Gates are at the top of the thousands of sects in our Qian State Boundary, holding significant importance."
"The teaching principle of a sect is to impart Dao and train students. Only by cultivating outstanding disciples and achieving superiority in the Dao Debate Conference can one qualify for this position."
"Otherwise, it would be occupying the position without fulfilling the role, in name only, causing others to laugh."
"To prevent some sects from relying on the achievements of their ancestors without striving for progress, this matter will be initiated and led by us, the Four Great Sects, setting an example."
"This is also a form of motivation for us, the Four Great Sects."
"Among the ’Four Great Sects’, whoever is capable can take the position."
"If our disciples from the Four Great Sects are inferior in skills, we are willing to step down without hesitation."
"The Qian Dao Sect, including the current Four Great Sects, will not complain!"
"Everyone, what do you think..."
Within the Qianxue Pavilion, the hearts of the people immediately stirred.
The position of the Four Great Sects!
Within the Qian State Boundary, there is no sect that does not want to be among the forefront, to be ranked among the Four Great Sects, to occupy the largest share of the Qianlong Mountain Range, to devour this piece of fat meat.
Even the elders of the Tai’a Sect and the Rushing Void Sect, upon hearing Elder Shen’s words, felt their hearts stir.
If not for the matter of the Rouge Boat, they indeed would by all means wish to fight for this opportunity.
But now, they are forced to swallow their grievances in silence...
Several sects of the Tai’a Sect also tried to resist.
But the Qian Dao Sect, including the Four Great Sects, had already arranged everything in secret.
These matters were already predestined.
In the end, the vote of each sect almost unanimously agreed to the Qian Dao Sect’s proposal.
The sect reform, calculated and maneuvered by various parties, officially began to be implemented...
...
The Taixu Gate.
In the midst of the Elders’ Residence, Mo Hua was still learning formations with Elder Master Xun.
More accurately, Mo Hua was in the "exam."
Elder Master Xun had set up a comprehensive array exam sheet, containing over ten second-grade nineteen-pattern and even peak nineteen-pattern formations, requiring Mo Hua to complete them all in one go within a limited time.
There could be breaks in between, but very little time was allotted.
Mo Hua began drawing from morning until evening.
When he handed over the "exam sheet" to Elder Master Xun, the incense in front of Elder Master Xun had only one-third left.
"Finished?"
"Yes." Mo Hua nodded.
Elder Master Xun took Mo Hua’s formation exam paper and reviewed each formation carefully.
Despite the limited time, despite the abundance of patterns, despite the high difficulty of the formations.
The formation patterns on the exam paper were meticulous and orderly, as if printed, without a single error!
Even the pen technique was consummate and flawless.
At this level of proficiency, completing such a top-level array exam is nearly impossible among second-grade Formation Masters.
Even for an ordinary third-grade Formation Master, it would never be achievable to this extent.
With a solid foundation, extensive knowledge, profound experience, and deep attainment.
The depth of divine thought, pen technique honed through countless practice.
Even an old monster who can perform Divine Soul Snatching to draw second-grade formations would only be equivalent to this...
Elder Master Xun took a deep breath of cold air, then gazed deeply at Mo Hua, finally relieving the heavy weight on his heart...
The turning point for Taixu Gate has arrived!
