The Wise King Road had been rooted in the Southern Border for many years. Regardless of whether it was a cultivation sect or a mortal, they would more or less be related to it. There were even some small mortal kingdoms that directly listed the Wise King Road as their national religion in order to seek protection. The kings of these kingdoms admired the culture of the Wise King Road and directly joined as their outer sect disciples.
As the department that specialized in spreading the teachings of the Wise King Road, the Utilitarian Heaven also taught everyone regardless of background. They brought in all those that could be absorbed, which allowed the Wise King Road to develop rapidly in the Southern Border.
Although the Wise King Holy Son had passed away a thousand years ago, the work of spreading the teachings had never stopped. If it was in the past, the Utilitarian Heaven would usually select a batch of mortals with spiritual roots and bring them to the cultivation world.
On the other hand, Di Yutian was in charge of nurturing disciples and punishing punishments within the Holy Church. These mortal spirit children would be sent to various key positions after being nurtured by Di Yutian. As for those disciples with good aptitudes, they would be nurtured into candidates for the Sect Head of the various divisions.
This was not the first time Yi Tian had heard of the four divisions. Previously, he had thought of contacting Grand Elder Wen Xin directly. However, after considering the unpleasant cooperation in the Western Wasteland, and the fact that he suddenly appeared, the other party might not be sincere in their cooperation.
Therefore, as the true Wise King Holy Son, he had to make a public appearance. He had to appear at a large scale gathering within the Wise King Road.
As for the Holy Son's birthday this time, it was undoubtedly the best opportunity for Yi Tian. At that time, the various powers that came to rely on him would all send people to attend. Furthermore, the main people in charge of the three divisions would also appear.
The Utilitarian Heaven had spent a lot of effort for the birthday this time, building up momentum in various countries in the mortal world. After that, they invited all the Sect Heads of the subordinate powers to the Utilitarian Heaven's headquarters.
Naturally, Sheng Jian of the Heavenly Cursed Sect received an invitation. Furthermore, he belonged to the category of people that could enter the inner hall. Yi Tian did not care about this. These celebrations were all just gimmicks. Perhaps the biggest headache for Grand Elder Wen Xin right now was the fact that he had no successor to the Utilitarian Heaven.
The Heavenly Cursing Sect's Sect Master, Sheng Jian, who was attending the birthday banquet this time, brought his two subordinates and passed through the layers of checkpoints of the Utilitarian Sky. Finally, they arrived at the Grand Virtue Hall located in the Southern Region's headquarters.
At this time, there was a long line outside the hall. The cultivators from the various sects who came to watch the ceremony were all waiting in line for the summons from the hall. Yi Tian roughly scanned the number of people in the group. He estimated that the scale of this event was even larger than the celebration at Dong Ao's Flaming Sun Sect.
The Utilitarian Heaven was indeed worthy of being the number one force in the Southern Border. Although Di Yutian had secretly surpassed them, the might that they had accumulated over a thousand years still remained.
Within an hour, Sheng Jian brought the two of them to line up in the queue. From time to time, they would discuss the subordinate forces. Which of them were the hardcore allies of the utilitarian Heaven? Which of them were respectful on the surface but were secretly scheming against each other?
After memorizing each of these forces in his heart, Yi Tian also understood that a person like Sheng Jian was obsessed with power. In the future, he would have to rely on him to manage the various forces in the Wise King Road.
Just as they were discussing, everyone suddenly felt a few people flying over from the west. Their speed was so fast that it was obvious that they were at least Jin Dan cultivators.
After flashing a few times, that cluster of light stopped at the entrance of the Grand Virtue Hall. Then, a few attendants hurriedly ran out and respectfully invited these people in.
Before everyone could react, another two golden lights flashed across the sky. Judging from the direction, they seemed to be coming from the Utilitarian Heaven's Grand Virtue Hall.
In less than ten breaths of time, the two flashes of light stopped at the entrance of the Grand Virtue Hall. Yi Tian secretly used his eye technique to take a look. He only saw two young ladies with veils on their faces standing at the entrance. One of them was Le Tong Xuan, whom he had known for a long time. He saw that she was still holding the lantern in her hand. The one beside her was obviously the current Yuanying middle stage cultivator of the Heaven of Bliss Division.
Suddenly, the woman turned around and used her divine sense to scan everyone present. Yi Tian was also startled by her action. He hurriedly turned around and concealed his aura. Then, he blended into the crowd and didn't make a sound.
After a while, that person paused for a moment as if she didn't find her target. Then, she snorted coldly, causing everyone below to lose their balance.
Suddenly, a loud and clear voice came from the Hongde Hall, "Junior Sister Yue, let these people go. They are still part of the Holy Church and they care about the Holy Church. If they have offended you, this old man will apologize on their behalf."
"Little sister wouldn't dare to trouble Senior Brother. It's just a small matter that offended the heavens."
Grand Elder Wen Xin replied, "It's also their first time seeing a Yuanying cultivator. That's why they lost their composure."
At this moment, a rough voice came from the Grand Virtue Hall, "Le Qingdong, why are you wasting time with a group of low-level cultivators?"
"Only you, Old Shangguan, are so troublesome." After that, he turned around and informed Le Tong Xuan. Then, the two walked into the inner hall.
After the two of them entered, the cultivators below began to lower their heads and discuss. When Le Qingdong released her spiritual pressure, Yi Tian protected the two of them. Now, looking around, many people were shaken to the ground. Some of the weaker cultivators even sat on the ground and gasped for breath.
Sheng Xingkun quietly asked, "Lord, the situation this time is a bit unexpected. What should we do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone walked out of the Grand Virtue Hall and said to the cultivators below, "Grand Elder Wen Xin has spoken. All the cultivators who came to congratulate are to enter the hall at once. There is an important announcement."
After Yi Tian heard this, his brows furrowed. It seemed that these people just now had ill intentions. Great Elder Wen Xin was also a shrewd person. Knowing that he was outnumbered, he simply called in all the vassal forces to give him face.
He looked back at the confused Sheng Jian and Sheng Xingkun and said, "Let's go in too. Find a place to observe the situation first. I will give you instructions on what to do next." Then, he took the lead and walked in with large strides.
The entire Grand Virtue Hall could be considered spacious. It was more than enough to accommodate a thousand people. At this moment, an old man was sitting on the main seat. It was Grand Elder Wen Xin of the Utilitarian Division. However, Yi Tian found that he seemed to be even more powerless than before.
There were four cultivators sitting on either side of him. Sima Tengyun and Le Qingdong sat on the left, while the other two sat on the right. Behind each of them stood a Jin Dan cultivator. Yi Tian recognized three of them. They were Le Tong Xuan, Shangguan Dingsheng, and Zhuge Wudi.
The one standing behind Sima Tengyun should be the person he chose to replace Sima Wubai.
This birthday banquet seemed to have completely changed. After everyone entered the hall, they all knelt down and bowed to Grand Elder Wen Xin. Then, they were led to the side by the attendants to listen.
Ever since Yi Tian and the Sheng father and son entered the inner hall, Grand Elder Wen Xin unnaturally raised his eyebrows. Then, he instructed the servants to bring another chair to the left. Then, he smiled and said, "It's rare for the four divisions of the Wisdom King to gather together. It's a good omen for the prosperity of our sect."
