Immortal Palace of Eternal Life

Chapter 1029: Such a Crude Custom Does Have Its Merits!

Seven days later.

Five Elements Pass.

Water Movement Immortal City.

This city was located at the center of the five immortal cities, closer to every side than the others. The council hall, the "Hall of Heavenly Unity," was also established here.

All changes and affairs concerning the Five Elements Pass, big and small, came out of the Hall of Heavenly Unity.

After the battle between the six true lords, from the perspective of the human race as a whole, the three divine transformation sects and the Qingyun Society reached a tacit understanding and were about to change from a "council system" to an "elders' system."

The selection of the nine elders would take place in the Hall of Heavenly Unity of the Five Elements Pass.

Small matters called for a grand assembly; major matters called for a smaller meeting.

As for the selection of the alliance elders, all yuan ying cultivators were qualified to participate. As for cultivators below that level, most people hadn't even received the news.

Thus, unless they were in death seclusion or stationed on the front line, almost all true lords and demon lords from Tian Nan had come.

They had traveled from far and wide to witness and take part in this grand event that would change the structure of Tian Nan.

After all, from this point on, the front line would be divided into nine major war zones, and all forces and cultivators would be assigned to them.

As long as one didn't want to carry the crime of "treason against the human race," no cultivator could stay out of it. One way or another, everyone would be affected.

At mao hour, just as a faint red glow appeared in the sky, while heaven and earth were still dim, one yuan ying ancestor after another, beings whose decisions could alter the fates of countless cultivators, arrived from all parts of Tian Nan and entered the solemn, murderous Hall of Heavenly Unity.

"The six true lords, the nine elders."

"Just one seclusion, and Tian Nan has undergone such earth-shaking changes."

"Especially this matter of the elders. I didn't hear even the slightest rumor beforehand."

"So fast. In just a few decades, the cultivation world has changed too much."

"Too much for even this old man to adapt to."

Before the Hall of Heavenly Unity, a true lord who had spent years in bitter cultivation looked at the plaque and the surroundings with a sigh.

As the most important line of defense for the human race, the city had originally been built to resist the demonic race, so the five immortal cities had no unnecessary decoration.

Every inch of the city walls carried a murderous aura.

Especially the Hall of Heavenly Unity. The doors and walls were all black, like a giant beast lying in wait, opening its maw to devour any cultivator who entered.

"Forget it."

"I'm just a loose cultivator, and I don't have any disciples or descendants to worry about. I don't want to get involved in these matters."

"As long as I don't take part and obey orders when I'm told to go to the front line, I doubt anyone will deliberately make things difficult for me."

After standing there for a moment, the true lord shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Then he stepped into the Hall of Heavenly Unity.

Because this assembly only allowed participation from cultivators above the yuan ying stage, there were no low-level cultivators present, and naturally no one was assigned to receive guests.

As time passed, a streak of golden sunlight pierced through the darkness, and the sky and earth gradually brightened.

Inside the Hall of Heavenly Unity, more and more true lords took their seats.

A rough count showed well over a hundred, with waves of yuan ying-level auras filling the hall.

However, the true lords who arrived first were mostly early to mid nascent soul stage cultivators.

In the cultivation world, there was an ugly custom: the stronger the figure, the later they made their appearance.

So it was not until si hour that one great cultivator after another from the nascent soul late stage began to arrive.
