Heavenly Lord Mountain was immensely vast. Although the Heavenly Lord River was extraordinarily broad, it still seemed insignificant beside the entire spirit mountain.
A market town occupied the mountainside, while pure white snow covered the summit like the white hair of an ancient elder.
Beneath that snow lay the foremost cultivation grounds in Southern Wasteland Province: Governor Liu's Lord Sword Dojo.
Governor Liu's Daoist title had once been Heavenly Lord. But after reaching a certain age, he had come to understand that all cultivators beneath heaven, even those at Nascent Soul, were still far too insignificant beside heaven and earth. Thus, he had changed his Daoist title to Lord Sword.
Of course, since his position as a provincial governor of the Righteous Path Sect was far more distinguished than his Nascent Soul status, most cultivators still respectfully addressed him as Lord Governor.
At that moment, Nascent Soul cultivators had gathered inside the dojo.
Besides the Nascent Soul cultivators from the five major Nascent Soul powers, Prefecture Lord Xiao, Prefecture Lord Wang, and Governor Liu were also present.
This was the Nascent Soul trading gathering held after the Nascent Soul Grand Assembly. It also served as a banquet and trading gathering to bury old grudges, as well as a handover meeting for the reassigned prefectural territories.
Of course, Prefecture Lord Xiao now had to be respectfully addressed as Governor Xiao, while Wang no longer needed the title of Prefecture Lord.

Every Spirit Transformation cultivator wishes to expand their territory and search for spatial nodes.
