Chapter 360: Chapter 144: The Heavenly Dao Sea Opens Again, Ten Dignitaries Gather!_6

Before boarding the Flying Boat, Li Daoran bowed and spoke to Chen Chang’an and his companion.

"Rest assured, Sect Leader, everything will be fine," said Chen Chang’an with a faint smile after listening to Li Daoran’s words.

"Hmm," Li Daoran nodded. He naturally trusted Chen Chang’an.

This disciple, he hadn’t been able to comprehend for years since that incident two years ago.

But despite not understanding, he had never doubted this disciple’s strength.

Needless to mention, the blood of the four Heavenly Venerates he suppressed in Saint State hasn’t even dried up yet.

If even such a disciple cannot guarantee the safety of his fellow disciples, there would truly be no safe place left in this world.

"Brother Chen, Elder Xuan Qing, take care of yourselves."

In the end, Li Daoran bid both men farewell.

"Sect Leader, we will take our leave."

Xuan Qingzi and Chen Chang’an also bid farewell.

After the exchange, Chen Chang’an and Xuan Qingzi each boarded the Flying Boat.

"Rise~!"

Following the signal, the vast Flying Boat rose slowly, ultimately disappearing into the clouds.

"Dao Ran, they’ve left."

On the ground, having watched Chen Chang’an and his party depart, the Great Elder, Li Xuandao, approached Li Daoran and said.

"Hmm, Elder, Brother Chen and the others have left," Li Daoran nodded.

The Great Elder suddenly looked a bit uncertain, he looked at Li Daoran and asked:

"Dao Ran, are you sure about your decision?"

Li Daoran nodded:

"Yes, Elder, I’ve made my decision."

"Our Tianshui Sect is too small in the end. If Brother Chen stays here, he will be constrained."

"Hence, I’ve decided to build him a college."

While saying this, Li Daoran suddenly noticed a trace of worry on the Great Elder’s face.

He immediately reassured the Elder,

"Elder, you need not worry about me. I can handle the task of building a college."

"There’s no need to worry that I’ll exhaust myself."

"No, I have a feeling that once Chang’an finds out you’ve build him a college, he might beat you to death!" Li Xuandao shook his head.

"Great Elder, is that really possible?" Upon hearing this, Li Daoran felt a sudden chill creeping over him.

"Elder, I’m trying to give Brother Chen a surprise."

"Why would he beat me? I think he’ll be grateful when he finds out."

"Yes, definitely."

"By the way, Elder, where are you going?"

"Well, I suddenly have a feeling that I need to find a good piece of wood for a coffin. I suspect it might come in handy."

Li Daoran: "....."

...

While Li Daoran and Li Xuandao were discussing the college, above on the Flying Boat, Chen Chang’an and his party were proceeding orderly.

The distance from Tianshui domain to Heavenly Dao Sea is relatively far. Even by a large Flying Boat, it would be at least four or five days.

However, for cultivators, time is of no concern.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. After passing through layers of clouds, Chen Chang’an and his party reached the Heavenly Dao Sea.

"Greetings, Saint Chen."

As soon as Chen Chang’an and his party arrived at the Heavenly Dao Sea, several disciples of the Taiyi Sect greeted them.

The disciples were well-trained, arranging everything promptly and efficiently, as if they were already aware that Chen Chang’an and his party would arrive at this time.

Chen Chang’an wasn’t surprised by this. Strictly speaking, the Heavenly Dao Sea was considered the Taiyi Sect’s headquarters.

If such a prominent figure as Chen Chang’an openly walked in and they did not even know, then their so-called hospitality would be very poor indeed.

There was still a day left before the Heavenly Dao Conference started. Chen Chang’an was in no rush, quietly waiting in the arranged room.

Cock-a-doodle-doo~!

Early on the second day, before the break of dawn, the crowing of a rooster woke Chen Chang’an.

"Saint, please follow us."

Under the guidance of a few disciples from the Taiyi Sect, they entered the venue of the Heavenly Dao Conference.

Just as Chen Chang’an had speculated, inside the venue of the Heavenly Dao Sea Conference, seats for five or six hundred people had been arranged for the Tianshui Sect.

Not too few, not too many, it was exactly the total number of people Chen Chang’an brought with him.

Well, not exactly, there were about a dozen extra seats.

There were also several empty areas. Power ruled everything, a fact demonstrated vividly in this situation.

A steady humming sound echoed~!

Then, as the sun rose from the horizon, the representatives of various forces gradually entered the Heavenly Dao Sea.

The members of the ten major sects each made their appearances one by one, taking their respective seats.

However, what was different this time was that originally, there were only ten seats for the ten major sects.

Now, twenty-eight stools were placed!

A hall for every sect, three pavilions, five sects, seven stars, ten territories, and nine heavens in chaos, eight realms!

This time the representatives not only included the original ten major sects, but also the Seven Stars and Nine Heavens.

Originally, these sixteen forces did not exist in the Wuxiang realm. But with the merging of the three thousand realms, they also appeared in this continent.

And they had surpassed all others in strength!

Ten sects, seven stars, nine heavens!

Together they occupied twenty-six of the seats, but the total known number was twenty-eight.

Nobody felt it strange that there were two extra seats.

They knew who those seats were for!

One was reserved for Supreme Saint Chen Chang’an, and the other was for the Immortal from Daluo!

Nobody knew who the Immortal from Daluo was; they didn’t even know whether he would be attending the Heavenly Dao Conference.

Even so, the Taiyi Sect had reserved a seat for him. Nobody at the conference disagreed with this arrangement.

Such respect was deemed appropriate for an Immortal of Daluo!

Understandably, of the twenty-eight seats, not all of them were occupied.

For example, the seat representing the Li Realm, one of the Nine Heavens, was empty!

Nobody wanted to discuss why it was empty. Everybody at the venue knew.

Li Tian of the Li Clan was personally exterminated by Emperor Song!

Ever since then, a life-and-death feud existed between them!

But, given the current situation, dare the Li Clan seek revenge from Emperor Song?

They dared not!

Not only did they not dare, they didn’t even dare show their faces in the Wuxiang realm.

They feared retribution from Emperor Song!
