Half a year after Quan Xing and Niu Pan joined the Taiyan Sect, Bai Xin and Hou Ji also entered the Earth Cave Sect. However, they were not as high-profile as Quan Xing and Niu Pan; only True Monarch Diwen issued a decree within the Dao Palace.
The faith war between the Taiyan Sect and Vajra Temple grew ever more intense. The True Sun Sect would occasionally join in to stir up trouble, while Linshui Prefecture and the Earth Cave Sect remained neutral.
Over the past half year, the core area of Quan Xing's Daoist field had been completed. He then entered secluded cultivation, leaving the remaining construction to his disciples and grand-disciples, with the Taiyan Sect assisting from the side.
