Dao Sect, Four Halls

After the champion's sect selected its disciples, the remaining Seven Great Super Sects randomly decided their order of appearance by drawing lots. Perhaps due to bad luck, Yuan Sect actually plummeted from first place to eighth place this time.

Yuan Sect steward Liu Tong's face was truly terrifyingly gloomy, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay. He presided over the Yuan Sect selection ceremony with a completely ashen face, and even Qin Tian, Senior Disciple Brother of the Sky Origin Dynasty, was reprimanded by him for a few words.

The middle-aged beauty from the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace was secretly delighted to have unexpectedly gained Su Rou, a disciple with extraordinary talent.

In any case, after many twists and turns, this year's Hundred Dynasties War has finally come to a successful conclusion.

"Haha, everyone, this old Daoist priest will take his leave now."

Under the varied gazes of Liu Tong and the others, Wu Dao, laughing heartily, suddenly waved Wu Dao sleeve, and a large expanse of light and shadow appeared. The Space Seal, instantly activated, burst forth with an enormous light array, enveloping everyone and causing them to vanish from their original spot.

It's time to return victorious!

Within the Eastern Xuan Region, the Eight Great Super Sects, led by the Yuan Sect, are positioned in the eight directions, like eight towering giants guarding the eight directions, silently declaring their dominance over this land, which is both an honor and a responsibility.

In the Southwest Region of the Eastern Xuan Region, there lies a magnificent mountain range spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, like a giant, winding dragon lying prostrate on the earth, swallowing clouds and spitting mist. Powerful dynasties thrived and multiplied within it, firmly guarding their sacred land— the Dao Sect—at its center.

Deep within the mountains, a vast, almost boundless, transparent Light Barrier descended in an inverted bowl shape, covering the Dao Sect Ancestral Court. It emitted an extremely terrifying fluctuation of Origin Energy, intimidating all those with ulterior motives.

Now, Wu Dao and his group stood atop the massive Light Barrier, looking down from the sky at this magnificent scene that resembled an epic painting. The towering ancient buildings rising from the ground and the countless busy figures moving like ants filled the entire scene with an endless sense of grandeur and vicissitude.

Whether they were prospective disciples from the Low-Level Dynasty, Mid-Level Dynasty, or even Super Dynasty, they were all deeply shocked by the scene before them, and for a moment their minds were completely absorbed in it.

"So this is the Dao Sect, one of the eight great sects of the Eastern Xuan Region..."

Lin Dong took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light.

"Buzz!"

At that moment, an ancient rune, resembling a vortex or black hole, suddenly appeared between his brows and vanished in an instant.

"Um?"

Lin Dong raised an eyebrow, subtly rubbing his brow with his fingers, and closed his eyes slightly, Sense Stage something.

"The Devouring Seal is acting strangely? Who sent this message?"

Little Marten stepped forward and said solemnly.

Those who could have the Devouring Seal by Lin Dong were all people with extremely close relationships with him. So, whose situation has changed?

So even Little Flame, who was standing to the side, looked over nervously.

"It's Qing Tan. She has arrived at the headquarters of the Darkness Palace in the Northern Xuan Region and passed the Trial assessment, ranking first. She will be personally taught by Bo Xuan, the Hall Master the Darkness Palace."

Lin Dong lowered his hand, a slight smile appearing on his face.

"Her teacher is actually the Great Hall Master of Darkness Palace himself? Tsk, this girl is quite lucky. Bo Xuan himself is not only Peak Expert of the Samsara Stage, but also the current controller of the Darkness Ancestral Symbol, one of the Eight Great Ancestral Symbols."

"In other words, Qing Tan is able to become a disciple of this Peak Expert. In the future, she will not only have the opportunity to inherit the Darkness Ancestral Symbol, but also become the next Hall Master of the Darkness Palace."

The Little Marten was slightly taken aback, then clicked its tongue in amazement.

The power structure of the Northern Xuan Region is different from that of the Eastern Xuan Region. The Eastern Xuan Eastern Xuan Region is dominated by one superpower and many strong ones, with Eight Great Super Sects complementing each other. In contrast, there is only one super power in the Northern Xuan Region Domain, namely the Darkness Palace. The main hall suppresses the core, while the various branch halls are located in different directions.

A Darkness Palace in the Northern Xuan Region is equivalent to a combination of the Eight Great Super Sects, including the Yuan Sect and Dao Sect, in the Eastern Xuan Region. Having dominated the Northern Xuan Region for thousands of years, its power is terrifying to the point of being frightening.

If Qing Tan could officially become the Young Palace Master of the Darkness Palace, his status would be comparable to that of the Dao Sect's Sect Master, and far more prestigious than his elder brother Lin Dong.

"Hmm, this girl's luck is much better than mine as her older brother. We fought to the death in the Ancient Dimension for a year and only became disciples of the Dao Sect. But Qing Tan, as soon as she arrived in the Northern Xuan Region, became the future Young Palace Master of the Darkness Palace."

Lin Dong nodded with a smile. After receiving the message from Qing Tan, he was completely relieved. The journey from the Eastern Xuan Region to the Northern Xuan Region was quite long and dangerous.

"Now that you have arrived at the Dao Sect, Little Flame and I can leave with peace of mind."

The Little Marten stretched contentedly and said lazily.

"Huh? Leaving now?" Lin Dong, somewhat surprised.

"Hehe, if we don't leave now, are we going to wait for that old man Wu Dao to kick us out? The Dao Sect won't easily let a Heavenly Demon Marten from the Demon Domain into its heartland, especially when we can't be sure of its identity."

"There are a few good secret realms in the Eastern Xuan Region. I plan to take Little Flame there to improve our strength and also to restore my cultivation level. Alright, enough chit-chat, Little Flame and I will be leaving now. We'll contact each other again using a secret technique later."

Little Marten patted Lin Dong on the shoulder, and then, amidst the astonished gazes of the powerful figures behind them, led Little Flame away from the group and quickly disappeared into the horizon.

"Your two Demonic Beast friends are gone?"

Wu Dao looked over as if he had sensed something.

"Um."

"Hehe, it's good that you're gone. Otherwise, you would still have to endure the interrogation of those guys from the Enforcement Hall. Even with my guarantee, it would be very troublesome. I'm just afraid that your friend from the Heavenly Demon Marten Tribe might get impatient and directly reveal his true form and cause a ruckus at my Dao Sect Ancestral Court."

"Alright, come with me to the sect. We'll go to the Hall Selection Platform first to divide these disciples into the four halls. Although you are already a disciple of my Desolate Hall, you can come with me to observe."

Wu Dao nodded with a smile, then with a wave of his sleeve, a raging wind appeared, sweeping Lin Dong and his group away from the spot.

Within the vast, boundless Light Barrier, there was an abundance of Earth Yuan, so dense it was almost viscous, exceptionally pure and inexhaustible.

"This is the result of generations of top experts from my Dao Sect using Connecting Heaven methods to forcibly extract the Origin Energy from within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, and then using a giant array to contain it for the sect's disciples to cultivate. The concentration of Origin Energy here is at least ten times that of the outside world."

Looking at the people who were full of amazement, Wu Dao introduced himself with a rather proud air.

Atop a towering, cloud-shrouded Giant Peak in the distance, a massive blue stone platform came into view. Dozens of powerful figures stood in twos and threes, clearly having been waiting on the platform for some time.

"Look, that's the Hall Selection Platform. The Hall Master of the Four Halls Primeval Desolation our Dao Sect have been waiting there for a long time. Let's go down now."

As Wu Dao changed his hand seals, the giant azure bird formed from the raging wind beneath him immediately accelerated and swooped down, heading straight for the giant stone platform.

P. S.: I've been visiting relatives frequently these past two days, and I've finally used up all my drafts. Not a single chapter is left. This chapter is written now.

I'll still be posting four updates today, and three more this afternoon. I'll try to finish writing and posting as soon as possible.

Tsk, a stockpile of drafts, what a wonderful thing, too bad I'm out of them~
