Great Qian's northern border, Star Ripple Province, Northern Border Pacification Bureau.
Inside the Star Plucking Pavilion, Spiritual Light flickered and Spiritual Energy emerged.
"A message from Northern Mountain Province."
"Battle Merit has been reported, along with an official letter."
Before the enormous pillar, voices kept sounding.
Before long, within the Northern Border Pacification Bureau, amid clustered palaces and pavilions, a Golden Palace Pavilion learned of the message from Northern Mountain Province.
"Northern Mountain beast tide. Battle Merit verified: Chen Ping'an broke through to Celestial and slew a Celestial of the Same Realm."
A deep, resonant voice sounded, filled with disbelief.
"Gu Yueyan of the Gu Yue Clan. Cangjian of the Heart Inquiry Sword Pavilion."
The voice fell silent, as if pondering for a long time, and then an ordinance boomed out like thunder.
"Regarding Northern Mountain's merits, review them according to precedent. Regarding Reckless Saber Chen Ping'an's breakthrough to Celestial, swiftly report the memorial to the Pacification Commissioner for review. All related matters are to be decided by the Pacification Commissioner. In addition, have the overseeing command office, the realm's acting administration, and all directly subordinate organs deliberate on the subsequent impact in Northern Mountain."
Thunder rolled, surging in all directions.
One day later, a rather large-scale Deliberation Council was convened at the Northern Border Pacification Bureau.
"If another matter like this occurs, we should certainly follow this example and act, to stabilize Northern Mountain's situation. Good! Very good! This is the bearing my Pacification Bureau should have!"
"The current situation is weak, control is poor, and this Northern Mountain situation should indeed be changed!"
"He achieved Celestial amid the winds and clouds, and as one Newly Promoted, slew a Second Realm. Though he used a forbidden move, this qualification is enough!"
"That is indeed the case, however..."
"Draft it."
