"Master, the news has been confirmed. Signs of the Fell Star's descent have appeared over in the East Sea. That meteorite seems to match numerous prophecies and legends passed down since Middle Antiquity."
"Is that really true? Could someone be deliberately creating a mystery, or stirring up trouble under the guise of a prophecy?"
"Many people witnessed the celestial phenomenon that day, so it should be genuine. Besides, even if some mighty expert were deliberately creating a mystery, with both the Heavenly Court and the Netherworld Sect watching, they shouldn't be able to conceal it."
"Then it seems the South Sea won't remain peaceful either..."
In the council hall of the Que Luo Immortal Abode, Li Ling, who had long since withdrawn behind the scenes, had made the rare decision to summon everyone. The senior members and attendant elders remaining at the Incense Accumulation Sect’s Mountain Gate gathered to discuss the matter.
Something strange had recently happened in the South Sea.
Just over ten days earlier, around the time Li Ling had killed Qian Kun and was preparing to deal with the aftermath and bring the Qian Household's forces under his control, news had suddenly arrived from there. A meteorite had fallen from the heavens amid an extraordinary phenomenon, and the righteous and demonic factions had fought fiercely over it.
In the end, the Fire Division troops stationed there by the Heavenly Court had prevailed and successfully seized the meteorite.
They then discovered that it contained a tremendous concentration of Dao connotation, apparently left behind by an expert who had once attained Dao integration and true refinement. The Heavenly Court intended to use this opportunity to condense its Dao connotation and create a new divine position or a mighty Dao Realm expert.
Naturally, the Demonic Path refused to accept defeat.
