Open up and break into another world

With complex emotions, Chi Xue walked towards the seat belonging to Snowdrift City.

Xu Ming also retracted his gaze and began to eat and drink as if nothing had happened.

One expert after another, one great power after another at the Earth-rank level or higher, arrived at the Ask Dao Banquet.

"Look, it's the people from the Thousand Transformations Sect!"

The Thousand Transformations Sect was a Heaven-rank power closer to the Lake Heart Island, specializing in disguise techniques.

Back in the Demon Domain of Seeking Dao, Xu Ming, under the banner of the Thousand Transformations Sect, had tormented the Remnant Moon Sect to the point of utter defeat.

Later, Tian Qizi, the leader of the Remnant Moon Sect, even joined forces with Lake Heart Island, Snowdrift City, and other powers to seek an explanation from the Thousand Transformations Sect; as a result, he was slapped across the face by the sect leader of the Thousand Transformations Sect.

Now, seeing the Thousand Transformations Sect again, Tian Qizi only felt a faint burning sensation on his cheeks.

"Evidence? My Thousand Transformations Sect said we didn't do it, then we didn't do it! How can you find evidence for something we didn't do!"

"Hehe, there are too many things that your Thousand Transformations Sect claims you haven't done!" Tian Qizi sneered, "But how many of those claims are actually true?"

Speaking of which, the Thousand Transformations Sect was quite wronged—the matter in the Demon Domain of Seeking Dao had absolutely nothing to do with them; yet the Remnant Moon Sect and other powers insisted that they were responsible and sought evidence in various ways.

Xu Ming glanced over: "So they are the Thousand Transformations Sect…"

When Xu Ming was doing bad things under the banner of the Thousand Transformations Sect, he had only heard of this power but had never seen them. Now, he finally knew who the scapegoats who took the blame for him were.

…

From the three thousand six hundred territories, tens of thousands of large and small powers, and hundreds of thousands of experts, arrived at the Ask Dao Banquet.

"Elder Xuan Qing is here!"

Elder Xuan Qing, an old man with a white beard and a white robe, slowly walked towards the main seat in the center of the Ask Dao Banquet.

Along the way, the experts on both sides stood up to salute him.

"Elder Xuan Qing!"

"Elder Xuan Qing!"

"Elder Xuan Qing, you've worked hard!"

"Elder Xuan Qing has worked tirelessly for the Ask Dao Palace and the entire human race, his merits are immeasurable!"

Elder Xuan Qing returned the greetings with a kind smile.

Xu Ming listened to the surrounding conversations.

"Elder Xuan Qing was originally an unattached solo cultivator, but to handle the miscellaneous affairs of the Ask Dao Palace, he doesn't even have time for his own cultivation! Otherwise, with Elder Xuan Qing's natural talent, his strength might have reached another level!"

"Most experts value 'cultivation' and despise 'worldly affairs'! However, worldly affairs must be managed by someone! Thanks to Elder Xuan Qing stepping forward, the three thousand six hundred territories of our human race are at peace!"

"Elder Xuan Qing's contributions to the human race are truly immeasurable!"

"It's just that Elder Xuan Qing's age seems to be getting on…"

"I wonder which elder will step forward to handle the miscellaneous affairs in the future!"

…

Xu Ming also understood Elder Xuan Qing's identity—an elder of the Ask Dao Palace! Responsible for various trivial matters of the Ask Dao Palace and even the entire human race!

One must know that those who can serve as elders of the Ask Dao Palace are all extremely powerful existences among the "Dao Lords"; some elders are even not much weaker than the twelve Palace Lords!

Many powerhouses at this level are unwilling to waste cultivation time on worldly affairs—for example, the old master of the Mist Rain Battleship, "Old Man Bitter Short", was once an elder of the Ask Dao Palace; however, he was focused on cultivation and never cared about the trivial matters of the human race!

Therefore, every elder of the Ask Dao Palace who is willing to put down cultivation and handle miscellaneous affairs is worthy of admiration from the experts of the entire human race.

Of course, it is not to say that those elders who only know how to cultivate are not good elders.

Some elders have high potential and are more likely to break through to become "Palace Lord"-level powerhouses; then, the race will hope that they put all their energy into cultivation—if they can break through from "Dao Lord" to "Demigod", it would be the greatest contribution to the human race!

Some elders are good at preserving their lives, so they may be sent to some dangerous places to seek opportunities and treasures.

Some elders are stronger in direct combat, so they will be sent to fight and kill异族.

There are also elders who choose to sleep for a long time, increasing the strength of the entire human race, until… they die in their sleep!

…

Every elder of the Ask Dao Palace has different responsibilities. In short, everything is for the race!

Like Old Man Bitter Short, he was the kind of elder with high potential; however, he cultivated bitterly but ultimately failed to become a "Demigod", leaving only an empty sigh of "Life is bitter and short."

…

After Elder Xuan Qing took his seat, another Dao Lord soon appeared.

"Eastern Inspector!"

The inspector's status in the Ask Dao Palace is slightly lower than that of the elders, but they are also Dao Lord-level powerhouses! And this Eastern Inspector is the direct superior of Inspector Yi, inspecting a hundred territories including the Lake Heart Island territory—that is, the territory of a "Sacred Ground."

"Inspector Nangong Xiong!"

"Inspector Nangong Yan!"

After the Eastern Inspector arrived, one inspector after another appeared.

"Isn't that General Jingyu?"

"General Jingyu, he actually came!"

"General Jingyu hasn't attended the Ask Dao Banquet for thousands of years, right?"

General Jingyu is extremely powerful and is responsible for guarding the Myriad Ancient Demon Pit; his position in the Ask Dao Palace is even slightly higher than that of the elders, approaching the twelve Palace Lords!

"Even General Jingyu has come, then this Ask Dao Banquet is really lively!"

"So many experts have come…"

"Yes, the Nangong Xiong and Nangong Yan brothers haven't appeared for a long time!"

Suddenly, a hearty laugh resounded throughout the entire Ask Dao Banquet.

"Hahahaha, Jingyu, you old bastard, you came too!" A burly iron man with an overwhelming aura crashed in with a rumble.

This iron man, from head to toe, was covered in knife scars. And miraculously, all the dense, large and small knife scars seemed to form a secret pattern of the Heavenly Dao Law.

"Zhan Wuwei, your mouth is still so foul!" General Jingyu laughed and scolded, "After teaching disciples for so many years, you still haven't tempered your temper to be gentler!"

"Damn it!" The iron man "Zhan Wuwei" cursed, "Staying in the 'God Kingdom' every day, I'm almost getting sick! Damn it, it's rare for you to come to the Ask Dao Banquet, you must drink to your heart's content with me!"

General Jingyu teased, "I don't drink with brainless people!"

"Then how about with me?" A rough voice sounded.

A giant with a height of two zhang and curved horns on his head appeared on the third floor of the Ask Dao Palace.

General Jingyu was immediately surprised: "Palace Lord Potian, you've come!?"
