This place was a range of towering mountains that pierced the clouds.
Inside one of those great mountains.
Within the enormous peak, the cave corridor alone stretched for several thousand meters.
Yet at the end of the cave corridor was only a stone chamber of roughly fifty square meters.
At this moment, the stone chamber was brightly lit.
Fewer than ten people sat around the enormous conference table.
A middle-aged man sat in the seat of honor, while two white-haired, white-bearded elders sat to his left and right.
The remaining seats were sparsely occupied by five people.
Judging solely by where they sat, it was clear that these five did not hold particularly high status.
In truth, none of the people seated here possessed an especially lofty status.
Even the man seated in the place of honor was merely a Vice Sect Master of the Four Symbols Sect.
The Four Symbols Sect had no fewer than five Vice Sect Masters, so one such Vice Sect Master truly amounted to little—let alone him, the Black Tortoise Vice Sect Master, whose standing among the Vice Sect Masters was quite ordinary.
The Four Symbols Sect's development over the years appeared to have been swift, but in reality, it had been very limited.
The Sect Master and the true upper echelon spent almost every moment increasing their cultivation, while all of the sect's external affairs were handed over to these five Vice Sect Masters.
The Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master mainly watched the movements of the Cloud Sea Sect, while also supervising their progress.
Among them, the Azure Dragon Vice Sect Master was responsible for foreign affairs.
The White Tiger Vice Sect Master was responsible for the Tianxiang Sect, Tianlan Sect, and Xuan Yin Sect, all of which he had personally taken down.
