Chapter 37: Chapter 36: Divine Ruin Cave Heaven! 10 Statues Arrangements! _1

The Daoist Master of Fire shook his head and said:

"There’s no need for haste, Emperor Song. Once we have the affairs of the hundred sects settled, we will proceed with the matter of the ’Divine Tomb Celestial Cave’

"The reason I asked you here is to discuss the affairs of the hundred sects."

"Emperor Song, these are the protocols we drafted this time, please take a look and see if they are suitable."

"If they are, we will proceed accordingly later on."

As he spoke, the Daoist Master of Fire handed a booklet to Chen Chang’an.

The booklet was filled with a dense record of the agendas for the ’Hundred Sects Conference’. Chen Chang’an did not count them in detail, but estimated that they should number in the hundreds.

Seeing so many agendas, Chen Chang’an felt his scalp go numb immediately.

The so-called agenda refers to each party sending representatives to carry out discussions. Each sect has its own agenda, each with its own spokesperson!

This is the so-called leader’s end-of-year summary!

If he had known earlier that he had to listen to these pointless agendas, he would not have come in the first place.

Whether in his previous life or this one, what he hated most were these so-called ’leader’s speeches’!

There are not many truly useful words, but there is a great deal of nonsense!

Chen Chang’an continued to flip through and found that at the end of each page, there were signatures and seals from several major forces such as the Sword Pavilion, the Tianxiang Pavilion, the Martial Pavilion, and others.

Behind each sect’s name are four big words: No objection.

However, two signatures were noticeably absent.

One from the Hall of Reincarnation, and the other from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect.

"Okay." Chen Chang’an didn’t say much upon hearing this.

He used his hand as a pen to record seven characters: "Hall of Reincarnation, no objection."

"Thank you, Hall Master."

Once Chen Chang’an had finished signing, the Daoist Master of Fire took the booklet back and closed it.

Afterward, he handed the booklet to the Sword Ancestor and the others to look at.

If there are no issues, the conference can proceed according to what is written inside.

The Sword Ancestors took up the booklet and read it very earnestly.

Finally, they all nodded at the Daoist Master of Fire, indicating that they could begin.

As for why the last column had not been signed by the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, everyone tacitly refrained from mentioning it.

"Then, my esteemed guests, I will conduct this conference according to what is written here." The Daoist Master of Fire said to everyone.

He then walked to the center of the stage and said to the crowd below:

"Hello everyone, I am the Fire Daoist from the Taiyi Sect, and I will be hosting this conference."

"Now, I declare that the conference of the Hundred Sects in the Heavenly Dao Sea is now open."

"First, we will conduct the initial agenda of this conference!"

"The millennium annual summary."

"....."

"Let’s proceed with the fifth agenda of this conference, the financial circulation report of each sect."

"This report is put forth by the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, and now let’s invite the representative of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion on stage to explain the summary."

"...."

"Now let’s move on to the seventeenth agenda of this conference, the progress report on the Demon Land investigation."

"This report was put forth by the Qing Xu sect, so let’s invite the representative of the Qing Xu sect onto the stage to report on this summary."

"...." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Now let’s move on to..."

There are many agendas in the Hundred Sects conference, ranging from one to several hundred, all sorts of topics.

These include finances, World Sea investigation, discoveries of various secret realms and a whole heap of other matters.

But what’s most common are the grievances and disputes between the different sects.

If a dispute between sects isn’t resolved in a thousand years, it gets reported to the Hundred Sects conference and resolved by the conference issuing policies.

Of course, not everything can be resolved!

Issues such as the merits of a single ’Tenth Order’ or multiple ’Tenth Order’ sects, such as those between Emperor Song’s Hall and the Xuantian Sword Sect, and the Great Sun Sect, these are beyond the control of the Hundred Sects Conference.

When such issues arise, they are often skipped or unresolved!

Because for these issues, the Tenth Order possesses a supreme authority.

That is, the power to veto with a single vote!

With the power of veto in hand, if I agree, I agree,

If I disagree, it’s useless even if all of you agree!

The Hundred Sects are the sects of the Tenth Order, but the Tenth Order is not the sects’ Tenth Order.

When I want to save face, I can sit down and talk with you.

But when I don’t want to, I can flip the table anytime!

Such is the case.

Therefore, the Hundred Sects conference is usually just a formality for the Tenth Order.

Time passed quietly.

Just like that, three days went by.

Three days, a total of seventy-two hours.

In the Heavenly Dao Sea, there is no distinction between day and night, it’s always daytime.

The mention of three days is a result of Chen Chang’an counting on his fingers.

He had no choice, it was extremely boring!

...

Finally, on the fourth day, Chen Chang’an heard the closing remarks.

"Okay, that concludes the agendas of this conference."

"Now I declare the conclusion of this Hundred Sects Conference."

"Next, we will proceed with the second phase of this conference."

"Please each sect send a representative to follow me for the fortification of the Divine Tomb Celestial Cave."

When the long series of agendas finally came to an end, the Daoist Master of Fire announced the conclusion of this conference.

He then took the lead and exited the Heavenly Dao Sea, asking each participating sect of the Hundred Sects conference to send a representative to follow him.

Everyone did so without hesitation, each one appointing a person to follow the Daoist Master of Fire.

Chen Chang’an and the other Tenth Order sect leaders were among them.

In no time, under the guidance of the Daoist Master of Fire, everyone came to the edge of a deep blue sea.

This stretch of sea was strictly off-limits.

Above the sea was a massive cave, surrounded by blue ice,

Everything seemed like a peculiar kind of paradise.

"My fellows, this is where the seal of the Divine Tomb Celestial Cave is. Thank you for your efforts."

Upon arrival, the Daoist Master of Fire pointed to the deep blue sea in front of him and said to everyone.

"Daoist, rest assured, leave it to us."

After the Daoist Master of Fire finished speaking, the people around responded in unison.

Then they each rose into the air, standing in the air at different corners of the Divine Tomb Celestial Cave.

The crowd was dense and high in the sky.

The distribution of their positions subtly aligned with the laws of the celestial stars.

After everyone was in position, they all released their mana.

In an instant, strands of pure mana flowed into the blue sea.

Ommm~!

Under the reinforcement of all this mana, the deep blue sea became lively in an instant.

The seawater inside started to flow in an orderly manner,

But the speed of flow was very slow, and couldn’t be observed with naked eyes.

To increase its flow speed, a considerable amount of effort is still needed.

"My fellows, thank you."

At this point, the Daoist Master of Fire turned his gaze to Chen Chang’an and the others who were yet to act.

He himself, took the lead and stood at a point in the highest air.

"Rise~!"

Chen Chang’an and the others did not refuse. The sealing of the Divine Tomb Celestial Cave was the real reason they, the Tenth Order sects, attended the Hundred Sects Conference.

So at this moment, they naturally put forth all their efforts.
