Su Bai's gaze swept slowly across the region that had remained silent.
At the heart of that silent region stood the representatives of three great powers: the Buddhist School, Heavenly Dragon Mountain, and the Underworld!
Those powers had been renowned for countless years, and their foundations were deep beyond imagining.
Moreover, their territories lay in the far northwest of the Myriad Heavens and Worlds—the place farthest from the Demon World!
Even when the Demon World's invasion had raged at its fiercest during the Ancient Immortal-Demon War, it had fallen one step short of reaching the northwest.
After all, if even the northwest had fallen, the entire Myriad Heavens and Worlds would have been lost!
As a result, the powers of the northwest had preserved their foundations intact.
And after the Immortal-Demon War ended, the Myriad Heavens and Worlds had faced the task of rebuilding from ruins.
Those powers had reaped no small share of the benefits then.
No one knew just how strong the forces behind them had become.
All anyone knew was that these three powers had wielded enormous influence over the years and held an exceptionally important place in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds!
Yet under Su Bai's gaze, their representatives remained motionless!
The Heavenwatch Tower Master noticed Su Bai's gaze and murmured beside him, "These powers had Immortal Venerables among them even in ancient times—and more than one each."
"Their foundations are so formidable that, apart from those secluded Emperor Clans, they stand among the very strongest!"
"Sect Master Su, your talent is unmatched. I was deeply shaken to see you enter the Immortal Venerable Realm in so short a time."
"But these powers have deep roots. You can only try to win them over; you cannot... force them."
The Heavenwatch Tower Master's expression grew faintly complicated.
