This group of strong warriors entered the State Master's mansion, and with a flash of their figures, they disappeared from sight.
At this moment, countless auras in the entire state city of Yunzhou converged near the State Master's mansion, waiting for the outcome of the discussion. Everyone knew that this meeting would determine the future of the major forces in Yunzhou.
The hall of the State Master's mansion was a vast space, mysterious and grand. The furniture in the hall was made from unique materials of the Celestial Realm, exuding an aura of encompassing all things, majestic and domineering.
The hall was built of ancient stone, radiating an aura of long history, with an ancient atmosphere flowing within this ancient hall.
At the head of the hall, Qin Chen was seated, with Ao Lie at his side, while other experts from the Chendi Pavilion stood around like guards.
On both sides of the hall were rows of seats where experts from various major forces sat. These included the local Tianhe Elders from Yunzhou as well as envoys sent by the state cities like Yanzhou and Lingzhou. Each of them was a peerless Heavenly Saint, exuding an aura that caused hearts to tremble.
"Congratulations to the Pavilion Master Qin for winning the championship in the Tian Gong Refiner examination. With Pavilion Master Qin's talent, reaching the peak in the future is just around the corner."
"Pavilion Master Qin has extraordinary cultivation, slaying Yun Dongguang and ridding the people of harm. We admire him greatly."
"Unexpectedly, within the borders of Yunzhou, there is such an extraordinary talent like Pavilion Master Qin. Truly admirable."
As soon as this group of experts entered, they all smiled and cupped their hands in salute. Their bodies were woven with the patterns of Heavenly Saint laws, eternal and free. Among them, several peerless Heavenly Saints had auras that transformed into various shapes such as knives, guns, tripods, and bells.
This clearly showed that they had begun to shape their understanding of the Great Dao, transforming the Heavenly Dao into various tangible forms.
These were not treasures, but manifestations of the Heavenly Dao. At the Heavenly Saint level, to enhance one's cultivation, one needed a deeper understanding of the Heavenly Dao, fully integrating its rules into oneself, turning them into tangible forms and forming one's body's power.
However, the aura of the Heavenly Dao is ethereal and formless. How can one advance further? By turning it into something tangible?
Thus, many Heavenly Saint experts would, through their understanding of the Heavenly Dao and in combination with their cultivation techniques, manifest different tangible forms. Some people's understanding was a tower, others a blade, and yet others a cauldron... all different.
"Thank you all for coming. I believe you are all aware of the purpose of this meeting, so I won't waste words. From today, Yunzhou will fall under the rule of my Chendi Pavilion. Of course, I will not renege on the matters previously discussed with you. Now is the time to fulfill the agreement and make a comprehensive arrangement for the control of Yunzhou."
As Qin Chen's words fell, the expressions of everyone present immediately became serious.
Qin Chen said calmly, "According to the previous agreement, with Yun Dongguang dead, Yunzhou will become the territory of my Chendi Pavilion. However, my Chendi Pavilion will not monopolize the entire Yunzhou because we are a neutral force and do not develop territories, only expand business. Therefore, some of Yunzhou's city areas can be given to you to manage based on your territorial distribution, of course, nominally still under the rule of my Chendi Pavilion."
Indeed, before the Tian Gong Refiner examination began, Qin Chen had secretly met with the envoys from several major states and the experts from the major forces in Yunzhou and discussed this matter with them. At the time, the people from the major states and top forces were taken aback.
After all, Yun Dongguang was not yet dead at the time, so everyone did not pay much attention to this matter. Who would have expected that Qin Chen would directly kill Yun Dongguang during the Tian Gong Refiner examination, surprising people from all major forces.
