The 36 islands never ran out of topics to talk about.
Amazing things were happening all the time. Today, people were talking about what heaven-defying deeds this proud son of heaven had done, and tomorrow, they were talking about what incredible deeds this expert had done.
For the past month, everyone on the 36 islands has been talking about one thing, one person.
It was Ling Xian, the person whose three pieces of news created a huge commotion.
However, after that piece of news traveled around, it overshadowed everyone's glory. Even Ling Xian, who was in the limelight, was temporarily suppressed.
The Palace of Fortune is about to open!
These short words created a never-before-seen storm that engulfed the entire 36 islands.
Countless cultivators rubbed their palms together. All the Supreme Headmasters were startled and began to investigate the authenticity of this news.
All because it was the Palace of Fortune!
A mysterious place that was similar to a Hidden Territory, but not a Hidden Territory. It has existed since the ancient times. Every few hundred years, it would randomly appear on the 36 islands.
The history of this Hidden Territory was extremely mysterious. Nobody knew. They only knew that it seemed to follow some kind of rule. After a certain amount of time, it would automatically appear and open.
There was a saying that went like this: Fortune is found in the Palace of Fortune.
This meant that inside the Palace of Fortune, there was an infinite amount of fortune. There were rare treasures and techniques left behind by the ancient powerhouses. There was also a rumor that inside the Palace of Fortune, there was a secret to becoming an immortal!
To sum it up, there was an infinite amount of fortune inside!
Therefore, how could cultivators not go crazy over this?
However, not everyone can enter the Palace of Fortune. Only those who pass the test of the Palace of Fortune can enter and search for the fortune inside.
Therefore, when this news traveled around, everyone on the 36 islands went insane. They all tried to find out if this news was true or not.
Just then, another piece of news came out.
The Palace of Fortune will open in a month at the House of Zi Yang!
At the same time, the most mysterious original leveled cultivator on the 36 islands stood out and announced that this news was something he spent 30 years researching.
Instantly, the entire 36 islands were in an uproar!
Everyone believed this original leveled cultivator's words. Nobody questioned him anymore. They rubbed their palms together, boarded their ships, and headed towards Shi Ao Island.
This was all because this person's abilities were known to the world.
His name was Divine Diviner. His forte was not cultivation, but the Dao of Divination. He was able to predict good or bad luck, predict the future, understand the heavens and earth, and predict the future. He was the best on the 36 islands!
Therefore, when he announced that the information was derived by himself, no one questioned him.
Then, countless nomadic cultivators headed towards Shi Ao Island. The leaders of different forces all sent their best descendants to the House of Zi Yang to fight for the fortune.
For a moment, a storm was brewing!
…
If there was a force that was most shocked by this news, it would be the Zi Yang House without a doubt.
Because the Marvelous Diviner's words indicated that in one month, the Palace of Fortune will appear in the House of Zi Yang.
Without a doubt, the Zi Yang House was pushed to the heart of the storm and became the target of everyone.
Ling Xian broke out of his isolation because of this.
When he heard this news, he fell into a state of shock. Then, a thought flashed across his mind.
Did the Demonic Fairy reveal this information?
Without a doubt, the Demonic Fairy was the biggest suspect. Because more than a month ago, Ling Xian found out about the Palace of Fortune from her.
"How troublesome. Now the Zi Yang House has become the target of everyone. The water is getting murkier." Ling Xian sighed. Walking out of his palace, he headed towards the main peak of the Zi Yang House.
He had already received a message from Zi Dong Lai asking him to head to the main peak for a meeting.
Very quickly, Ling Xian arrived before a towering mountain peak. After showing off his Guest Token, under the watchful eyes of the guards, he slowly walked into the meeting hall.
The moment he entered, he felt countless gazes fixated on him. Then, he heard a series of greetings.
"Master Ling, you are here? Come sit. "
"It's been a while. Master Ling, you are still as handsome as ever."
"Haha, yeah. Master Ling is handsome and has an extraordinary temperament. I wonder how many female cultivators will fall for you."
Everyone chimed in, their words full of flattery.
Ling Xian bitterly chuckled and paid his respect to the people before him. He thought to himself, this is a critical situation, yet you still have the mood to chat?
Everyone here was wronged. They all knew the severity of the situation and knew that this was not the time to drink and chat.
However, that depended on who it was.
What was Ling Xian's position today? To put it bluntly, his position in the Zi Yang House has been elevated to a very high level. He was now second only to Zi Dong Lai!
Therefore, everyone naturally had to greet him.
"Ling Xian, come sit." Zi Dong Lai smiled and waved at Ling Xian, gesturing for him to sit.
Ling Xian nodded. Before him, there was a mahogany table that was about a meter long. Around it, there were 12 carved chairs that were already filled with people.
Only the first chair to Zi Dong Lai's left was empty. It was the seat reserved for Ling Xian.
There were many rules in the Taoism community. For example, during a meeting, one cannot sit randomly. The first chair is always reserved for the person with the highest status, which was Zi Dong Lai.
The seats on the left and right were reserved for cultivators who were second only to the Supreme Headmaster. The rest of the seats were arranged according to their status.
Without a doubt, those who were able to participate in this meeting were all people of high status. There were Elders in charge of punishments and Elders in charge of finances. Without exception, they were all influential figures.
Right now, the Demonic Fairy was sitting on Zi Dong Lai's right. Her flowery face was as calm as water, making it hard for others to guess what she was thinking.
Ling Xian glared at her and then looked at Zi Dong Lai. "Headmaster, I am an Honorable Guest. It is not appropriate for me to sit on your left."
He was very familiar with the rules in the Taoism community. He naturally understood that it was an honor for him to be able to participate in a meeting of the Zi Yang House as an Honorable Guest.
It was not appropriate for him to sit on the chair on the left that symbolized his status.
"It's okay."
Zi Dong Lai brandished his hand and smiled. "Don't mind the rules. After all, you have helped the Zi Yang House. Everyone is grateful and respectful towards you. Nobody will say anything."
"I …"
Ling Xian hesitated and shifted his gaze towards the Elders.
Seeing this, more than 10 Elders faintly grinned and began to speak.
"Master Ling, go on up. We all respect you."
"Yes, go on up. Nobody will say anything."
"Yeah, come and sit. Putting aside the kindness you've done for the House of Zi Yang, just based on your abilities, none of us have any objections."
"I … Okay, then I will accept." Ling Xian paid his respect to everyone and walked to Zi Dong Lai's left side. He then slowly sat down.
One has to admit that Zi Dong Lai thought highly of him. Everyone in the Zi Yang House respected him as well.
Or else Ling Xian, an Honorable Guest, would not have been able to participate in a meeting of the Zi Yang House, let alone sit in a chair that was second only to Zi Dong Lai.
This was an honor and a form of recognition.
This meant that his position in the Zi Yang House was now second only to the Supreme Headmaster, Zi Dong Lai.
