Dao Sect had four great halls. The sect's disciples were divided into four categories around these halls: Heaven Hall, Earth Hall, Hong Hall, and Desolate Hall.
Each of the four halls had its own merits and strengths. Desolate Hall had originally been the foremost of the four halls and the strongest within Dao Sect. However, because later generations of disciples had been unable to master Desolate Hall's Ultimate Skill, its reputation had gradually been buried.

The Nirvana energy pouring down from the sky all flowed into the ancient tablet. The tablet was like a bottomless pit, swallowing every bit of Nirvana energy.
