Chapter 936: Chapter 768 Settling in Taiching Palace_3

"Understood, Patriarch!" the middle-aged scholar Qin Ming respectfully replied.

"Let’s head to Nianyun Hall for deliberation!" With those words from Qin Ming, he gestured with a hand, and the two of them vanished in succession.

Wang Zijia and Qin Xianyu exchanged glances. Wang Zijia looked indifferent, while Qin Xianyu said somewhat awkwardly, "Disciple is not very skilled in these matters, so the majority have been handled by the disciples below. Initially, I had intended to personally discuss this with my master..."

As Qin Xianyu was explaining, Wang Zijia, not particularly concerned, changed the subject, "Take me for a stroll around Nianyun Pavilion’s mountain range, shall we?"

"Of course, Master!"

As they spoke, the two of them flew towards the mountain range.

...

As Wang Zijia began to familiarize himself with Nianyun Pavilion’s mountain range, as well as the operational mechanism and relationship structure of the entire Taiching Palace...

Also, as Ice Frost continuously liaised with others, squads of personnel from the Immortal Alliance arrived at Nianyun Pavilion.

The discussions on how to integrate, how to construct the New General Pavilion, and how to establish the divisions were underway.

Nianyun Pavilion truly had vast territory, but the number of its disciples was indeed small, not even comparable to a fraction of Wanyu.

Ji Yueling said they were not very adept at management, which was an understatement—he likened them to five salted fish.

Moreover, they did not follow the current faction system of Taiching Palace but rather the ancient mentor-disciple system. That is, the disciples of the five of them, and then their disciples and so on, formed Nianyun Pavilion.

Under such a structure, you can imagine how few people there were. After all, they did not broadly preach the Tao Law, fervently accept disciples or impart teachings!

The entire Nianyun Pavilion followed the elite troop model, with just five Immortals and their disciples forming five factions, all of whom were considered direct lineage with no subsidiary side branches.

Only a few disciples who had achieved the Earth Immortal Realm had some other subordinate forces under them, though still inconspicuous ones, without any side branches.

They were simply an ancient sect that persisted in the midst of Taiching Palace’s many factions, a stubborn old guard, sustained by the mentor-disciple lineage!

It was only because Qin Xianyu and the other four were strong enough and were situated in such a colossal entity like Taiching Palace, that they could enjoy the shade under the big tree.

Otherwise, they would have become a broken-down household long ago.

Due to this, the integration was actually quite straightforward, and reserving major pulses for Nianyun Pavilion was rather excessive!

For all this, neither Wang Zijia nor Qin Xianyu and the others paid much attention.

Wang Zijia occasionally focused on the overall direction, while Qin Xianyu and the rest completely disregarded it.

...

Time flew by, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

The affairs of Taiching Palace were steadily progressing, the outline of the main matters started to take shape, and Wang Zijia had somehow managed to settle in Taiching Palace.

That day, Wang Zijia was browsing through a series of materials about Taiching Palace within the Immortal Cliff Residence.

His short time in cultivation had always been a limitation in his knowledge reserve, even though he had been consciously trying to catch up.

Now that he had such a vast platform as Taiching Palace, he naturally couldn’t let its Information Library slip by.

About Taiching Palace, the Three Pure Ones and Three Factions, the whole Shen Hong Era, past Eras’ secrets and so on...

Everything he could view for free at the moment, he was amassing.

Suddenly, Wang Zijia’s actions halted.

Then, An Xingsheng hurriedly entered the room, gave a formal bow to Wang Zijia and said, "Sect Master, Ice Frost has brought an Immortal from Fire Spirit Palace who seeks an audience."

This ’Secretary,’ who he was accustomed to using, had naturally been transferred over to serve him once Wang Zijia had settled in. With him also came the initial four ’children’ from White Peach Tower.

However, they were no longer taking turns standing guard outside the door, as Lei Ting had become the exclusive door guardian.

"Someone from Fire Spirit Palace? Did they mention the matter at hand?" Wang Zijia asked, puzzled.

Li Xunbo and Liu Mingsheng, the two golden immortals, had seemingly resolved his allegiance issue clearly. By all accounts, people from Fire Spirit Palace should not be bothering him anymore.

He had just found his footing, and it was in his best interest not to have ambiguous dealings or sit on the fence with his old masters.

Although they were from the same Sect, Taiching Palace was of such size that it functioned beyond the conventional meaning of a Sect.

The unification of the entire previous life’s globe couldn’t even match a fraction of it.

Therefore, especially for someone new like him, the relations between different departments should still be kept discreet.

"It seems to be concerning the adoption of subordinate branches. Would you like to meet them, Sect Master?" An Xingsheng reported.

"Adoption of subordinate branches? Isn’t our pavilion integrating these few days? How did it relate to the matter of adopting subsidiary branches?" Wang Zijia asked with confusion.

An Xingsheng shook his head, "According to the current information, we have not been haphazardly absorbing subordinate forces within Taiching lately."

"Even our interactions with other pavilions of the Ancient Department have been minimal; we’re completely focused on our own construction behind closed doors."

Wang Zijia frowned slightly and said, "Bring them in then. Even though I didn’t join Fire Spirit Palace, I assume our relations have not soiled."

"Obeying the Decree!" An Xingsheng bowed respectfully and withdrew.

It was only a moment after An Xingsheng left that Ice Frost arrived with a girl in her late teens, who was pretty yet somehow seemed naive. Contrary to her youthful appearance, the girl possessed a higher cultivation level than Ice Frost—a standard Earth Immortal Peak Cultivator.

Apparently, in Taiching Palace, she was a person of some significance.

"Greetings, Lord!"

"Disciple of Fire Spirit Palace, Qiankun Meridian’s Li Shiting, greets Red Sun Shishu!"

Upon entering the room, both greeted Wang Zijia with due respect.

Wang Zijia looked at Li Shiting and inquired with surprise, "Qiankun Meridian? You’re a disciple of Junior Brother Benlin?"

"In response to Red Sun Shishu, he is indeed my Family Ancestor," Li Shiting answered respectfully.

Wang Zijia’s expression cleared as he examined Li Shiting briefly before saying, "How is Junior Brother Benlin? Why has he not come to seek me out for tea and discussion? Is it because he’s concerned that I have joined the Ancient Department, creating distance?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shiting immediately said, "Shishu misunderstands. The Family Ancestor has already descended to the Lower Realm on a Task a few days ago. He was preoccupied even before, temporarily drafted because of the Taiching Ruins in East Wilderness."

"After the Blood Rain, it has been even more so. With demon disasters springing up everywhere, there are too many matters at hand. Most cultivators above the Earth Immortal Realm in the sect are busy."
