Chapter 36: Grotto-Heaven! Ten Divine Patterns!

Li Huo Dao Zun shook his head and said, "Emperor Song, there's no need to rush. Once we finish arranging the matters of the Hundred Sects, we will proceed with the 'Grotto-Heaven' affairs."

"The reason why you were called here is to discuss the matters of the Hundred Sects."

"Emperor Song, this is the charter we have drafted for this meeting. Take a look and see if it's suitable."

"If it is, we will proceed accordingly."

Saying that, Li Huo Dao Zun took out a notebook and handed it to Chen Chang'an.

The notebook recorded in great detail the various agendas of the 'Hundred Sects Conference'. Chen Chang'an didn't count them one by one, but he could roughly estimate that there were about hundreds of them.

Seeing so many agendas, Chen Chang'an immediately felt a headache.

The so-called agenda was for representatives from various factions to come forward and give speeches. Each sect had its own agenda and its own representative.

It was like the leaders coming up to give their year-end speeches.

If he had known that he would have to listen to these nonsensical agendas when he came here, he wouldn't have come in the first place.

Whether in his previous life or in this life, he hated these so-called 'leaders' speeches the most.

There wasn't much useful information, just a lot of empty talk.

Chen Chang'an continued to flip through the pages and found that at the end of each page, there were signatures and seals from several major forces such as the Sword Pavilion, Celestial Fragrance Pavilion, and Martial Pavilions.

Behind the names of each sect, there were four big characters: No objections.

However, among these signatures, there were two that were missing.

One was the Hall of Rebirth, and the other was the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect.

"Good." Chen Chang'an didn't say anything more.

Using his hand as a pen, he engraved seven big characters on it: Hall of Rebirth, no objections.

"Alright, thank you, Lord Chen."

After Chen Chang'an finished signing, Li Huo Dao Zun took back the notebook and closed it.

Then, he handed the notebook to the Sword Ancestor and the others to look at.

If there were no problems, the conference could proceed according to the contents of the notebook.

The Sword Ancestor and the others picked up the notebook and looked at it very seriously.

In the end, they all nodded at Li Huo Dao Zun, indicating that they could start.

As for why the last column was left blank without the signature of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, everyone tacitly understood and didn't mention it.

"Well then, everyone, I will proceed with the conference according to the contents of this notebook," Li Huo Dao Zun said to the crowd.

Then, he walked to the center of the platform and said to the people below, "Hello, I am Li Huo Daoist from Taiyi Gate. I will be presiding over this conference."

"Now, I announce that the Hundred Sects Conference of the Heavenly Dao and the Sea is now in session."

"Now, let's proceed with the first agenda of this conference!"

"The year-end summary of the millennium."

"..."

"Now, let's proceed with the fifth agenda of this conference, the financial circulation report of each sect."

"This report is presented by the 'Treasure Gathering Pavilion'. Now, let's invite the representative of the 'Treasure Gathering Pavilion' to come on stage and explain the summary of this report."

"..."

"Now, let's proceed with the seventeenth agenda of this conference, the progress report on the 'Heavenly Demon Domain' investigation."

"This report is presented by the Qingxu Sect. Now, let's invite the representative of the Qingxu Sect to come on stage and give us a summary of this report."

"..."

"Now, let's proceed with..."

There were many agendas for the Hundred Sects Conference, ranging from one to several hundred, a whole bunch of them.

They included financial matters, investigations of the boundary sea world, discoveries of various secret realms, and so on.

But the most common ones were the disputes and grievances between various sects.

If the grievances between sects were not resolved within a thousand years, they would be reported to the Hundred Sects Conference, and the conference would come up with a charter to resolve them.

Of course, not all matters could be resolved!

For example, the merits involving individual or multiple sects of the Ten Divine Patterns, such as the Emperor Song Palace, the Profound Heaven Sword Sect, and the Great Sun Tathagata Sect, were not something the Hundred Sects Conference could influence.

Often, when encountering such topics, they would either skip them or have no results!

Because, for these agendas, the Ten Lords have supreme power.

That is, the power of veto!

With the power of veto in hand, if I want to agree, I agree.

If I don't agree, even if all of you agree, it's useless!

The Hundred Sects belong to the Ten Lords, but the Ten Lords do not belong to the Hundred Sects.

When I want face, I can sit down and talk with you.

But if I don't want face anymore, I can flip the table at any time!

That's all.

Therefore, often at every Hundred Sects Assembly, for the Ten Lords, it's just going through the motions.

Time quietly passes by in the world.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

Three days, a total of seventy-two hours.

Here in the Grotto-Heaven of the Heavenly Dao Sea, there is no distinction between day and night, it is always daylight.

The reason why it is said to be three days is the result of Chen Chang'an calculating it himself by pinching his fingers.

There's no way, it's just too boring!

Finally, on the fourth day, Chen Chang'an heard the sound of the end.

"Alright, the agenda of this assembly is hereby concluded."

"Next, I announce the end of this Hundred Sects Assembly."

"Next, we will proceed to the second item on the agenda of this assembly."

"Strengthening the Grotto-Heaven, each sect should send a representative to come with me."

After the long agenda was over, Li Huo Dao Zun announced the end of the assembly.

Then, he took the lead and walked out of the Heavenly Dao Sea, and asked each sect to send one person to follow him.

Everyone did not hesitate and each sent one person to follow Li Huo Dao Zun.

Chen Chang'an and the Ten Lords were also among them.

Soon, under the leadership of Li Huo Dao Zun, everyone arrived at a blue sea outside.

This area of the sea is forbidden.

Above the sea is a huge cave, surrounded by blue ice,

Everything looks like an alternative fairyland.

"Everyone, this is where the seal of the Grotto-Heaven is located, thank you for your help."

After arriving here, Li Huo Dao Zun pointed to the blue sea in front of him and said to everyone.

"Dao Zun, rest assured, leave it to us."

After Li Huo Dao Zun finished speaking, everyone around responded.

Then they flew up one by one and stood in the air at a corner of the Grotto-Heaven.

The number of people was dense, standing in the sky.

Looking at their positions, it coincided with the arrangement of the stars in the sky.

After everyone took their positions, each person displayed their own mana.

In an instant, strands of pure mana merged into the blue sea.

Buzz~

Under the blessing of this mana, the blue sea instantly became active.

The water inside also began to flow in a regular manner.

However, the flow speed was very slow, and it couldn't be observed with the naked eye.

To make the flow speed faster, it would require a great amount of force.

"Thank you, everyone."

At this moment, Li Huo Dao Zun looked at Chen Chang'an and the others who hadn't moved yet.

And he himself took the lead and came to a point in the highest sky, and stood there.

"Begin~!"

Chen Chang'an and the others did not refuse. The seal of the Grotto-Heaven was the real reason why they, the Ten Lords, participated in the Hundred Sects Assembly.

So naturally, they also exerted all their strength.
