The entire upper echelon of the Sacred Palace was gathered today, but Xiao Chen had no idea what they were going to discuss.
As soon as Xiao Chen returned to the Holy Palace, he had only exchanged a few words with Bai Ruyue before he was summoned by Xiao Sheng. Therefore, Xiao Chen was completely clueless about what they were going to discuss next and knew nothing about it.
He looked at Chen Ling and Long Qing for help, hoping that they could remind him. However, before the two of them could speak, Xiao Sheng had already said indifferently from the main seat.
"Everyone, the Sacred Palace has just been established, but after this period of time, it has basically stabilized. However, we can't let our guard down because the real test that the Sacred Palace has to face is coming up next."
The Sacred Palace had only been established for a few years. For a colossus like the Sacred Palace, a few years was nothing more than the snap of a finger. However, after a few years of hard work, the Sacred Palace was still considered stable.
Without keeping them in suspense, Xiao Chen soon learned the purpose of this meeting from Xiao Sheng. Xiao Chen did not expect that this meeting would be about the ownership of the Human Race's territory and various resources.
He had just seized a supreme grade spirit vein from the Bai Mo Continent, and today, Xiao Sheng had gathered everyone to discuss this issue. It had to be said that he was really efficient.
He bluntly explained the matter to everyone, but there was not the slightest change in their expressions. It was obvious that they had already known about it beforehand.
This was very normal. As the internal components of the Sacred Palace stabilized, it was naturally time to shift their focus to the outside world. As for the first problem to bear the brunt, it was naturally the allocation of the Human Race's territory and resources. These were the most critical issues.
However, these two points were also the most contradictory because they were related to benefits.
After a slight pause, Xiao Sheng's originally serious face suddenly revealed a smile. "Speaking of which, I can tell you a piece of good news. Not long ago, Chosen Xiao Chen successfully seized a supreme grade spirit vein from the Liwang Sect."
Xiao Sheng and the others were obviously already aware of what had happened on the Bai Mo Continent. Xiao Sheng and the other four patriarchs were naturally very satisfied with Xiao Chen's performance. Being able to seize a supreme grade spirit vein from the hands of the Liwang Sect's first Chosen, Tong Huang, had indeed greatly increased the Sacred Palace's momentum.
As Xiao Sheng's words faded, everyone present turned to look at Xiao Chen. Faced with everyone's gazes, Xiao Chen calmly stood up, cupped his hands and bowed to the crowd. "I was just lucky."
Xiao Chen's attitude was calm. Seeing this, Xiao Sheng smiled and said, "Alright, the Bai Mo Continent's matter is worth being happy about. This is a good start. However, a mere supreme grade spirit vein is obviously not enough to support the entire Sacred Palace. Therefore, if our Sacred Palace wants to truly gain a foothold in the North Star Boundary, we must seize back the resources that originally belonged to the Human Race."
It had been a very long time since the Human Race's status had become lower and lower due to the lack of a quasi-Saint Sect. As their status continued to decline, the Human Race's territory in the entire North Star Boundary was also constantly shrinking.
To make a simple analogy, perhaps thousands of years ago, the territories that still belonged to the Human Race had long been seized by other races.
The Continent that should have been dominated by the Human Race had been snatched away by other races, and the Human Race could only live under the charity of others and suffer in silence.
The continuous loss of territory brought about harm, and that was the reduction of the resources in their hands. Those precious resources were gradually taken away by other races, resulting in the Human Race having a pitifully small amount of resources in their hands today.
In fact, during this period of time, Xiao Chen had paid almost no attention to other matters because of Qin Shuirou's disappearance, so he only had a rough understanding of the current situation in the Sacred Palace.
First and most importantly, after a few months, the number of Human Race forces under the Sacred Palace's name that had declared their allegiance to the Sacred Palace had reached dozens.
With these Human Race forces' allegiance, Xiao Sheng and the other patriarchs began to understand the details of the North Star Boundary from these Human Race forces.
It would have been fine if they didn't know, but once they did, Xiao Sheng and the other patriarchs were secretly shocked. The Human Race's situation in the North Star Boundary was worse than they had imagined.
First, there was the issue of territory. There were only three continents like the Bai Mo Continent that were truly dominated by the Human Race in the entire North Star Boundary, and they were all insignificant small continents. The largest one was only slightly larger than the Tianchen Continent.
The seemingly prosperous Human Race only occupied three continents in the North Star Boundary. It was easy to imagine how weak the Human Race was.
Most of the Human Race were living under the charity of others and under the tyranny of other races, just like the Fallen River Sacred Sect on the Taishen Continent. Although they had settled down on the Taishen Continent, they couldn't make any decisions and could only linger on while at death's door.
Their territory was pitifully small, not to mention their resources. Almost all of them had been snatched away, and they only had some worthless low-grade spiritual veins in their hands.
Low-grade spiritual veins could be said to be of little value, but of course, it was better than nothing. However, the entire Human Race only had low-grade spiritual veins in their hands. They didn't even have a single mid-grade spiritual vein, as all of them had been taken away by other races.
Without resources, it was impossible to become stronger. After all, even the cleverest housewife could not cook without rice. Even if one was more talented than the heavens, if one did not have the corresponding resources to support them, they would only end up being annihilated in the end.
Territory and resources could be said to have been completely taken away by other races. After truly understanding the Human Race's situation in the North Star Boundary, Xiao Sheng and the other patriarchs unanimously agreed that they had to change this situation.
They had to take back the territory and resources that once belonged to the Human Race because these two things were the roots of the Human Race, and also the roots of the Sacred Palace.
Without territory and resources, the Sacred Palace was like a rootless duckweed, a complete mirage without any foundation to speak of.
They had to raise the status of the Human Race in the North Star Boundary and take back more territory and resources. Only then could the Sacred Palace and the entire Human Race truly gain a firm foothold in the North Star Boundary.
This was something that had already been decided, and no one could change it. In the end, Xiao Sheng said in a deep voice, "We have to take back the territory and resources that once belonged to the Human Race. In this way, we will inevitably become enemies with the other quasi-saint sects, but this can't be helped. The Sacred Palace needs these things, and the Human Race needs them even more. Therefore, I've gathered everyone here today to prepare for any possible conflicts that may break out next."
