The Sect Leader of Cloud Dream Pavilion chatted briefly with Cui Hao, then left with the group of Elders after saying that Cloud Dream Pavilion would lend its full support in dealing with the Great Calamity.
He neither asked what news was in the Jade Token in Bai Xuanling's hand nor what arrangements Cui Hao had planned next.
Zheng Zhaoling, a Core Disciple, was actually the buffer Cloud Dream Pavilion had carefully chosen.
First, sending a Core Disciple demonstrated how seriously Cloud Dream Pavilion took the matter. Second, she could coordinate affairs, and a Core Disciple would absolutely consider her own Sect's interests, so there was no need to worry about her being tempted by benefits.
After all, in the future, the Core Disciples would have the final say in the Eighteen Immortal Sects. Benefits of that magnitude already stood above all others.
If disagreements led to conflict later, at least it would not be a conflict between Bai Xuanling and the entirety of Cloud Dream Pavilion. Naturally, Cloud Dream Pavilion had no intention of making its Core Disciple a scapegoat either.
This arrangement would simply give both sides room to cushion the impact.
That was why Chu Xingchen often dealt with Xu Jin and Yuyang Daozi as well.
As for Bai Xuanling's explanation of the opportunity to become Immortals-only after the Great Calamity passed and Heaven's Way returned to normal would the Tribulation Transcendence Cultivators have a chance to become Immortals.
Cloud Dream Pavilion's Sect Leader had not actually placed much importance on this pie Bai Xuanling had painted.
Although this painted pie was indeed very tempting to high-level cultivators, especially given that Chu Xingchen had genuinely helped Bai Xuanling become a True Immortal.
But however tempting the pie was, it was still only painted.
They were all thousand-year-old
