A month ago, Spirit One Sect issued invitations to all the top powers in the world, asking them to gather today at Wang Ling Manor to discuss an important matter together.
This so-called important matter was naturally clear without saying—it could only be about Da Xia.
Or, to be more precise, it was about Gu Chen.
Now that Gu Chen had reached the realm of Martial God, even old top masters like the former Valley Master Huo Ke of Ling Yun Valley were no match for him. How many people in the world could still control Gu Chen?
It could be said that looking across the martial world, Gu Chen was already nearly invincible!
Now, everyone in the Jianghu knew that Gu Chen had grown into a figure almost comparable to the former Emperor of Da Xia. With him alone, Da Xia was sufficient to suppress the Jianghu!
With Gu Chen stationed in the Jing Tian Department, it once again became a sharp sword hanging over the heads of everyone in the Jianghu, ready to fall at any moment and sever their heads.

Originally, due to the disappearance of the Emperor, the world was in chaos, causing Da Xia to weaken, but with the rise of Gu Chen alone, it had regained its strength once again.
The Jianghu, just having relaxed for a few days, was again tense, and even felt somewhat endangered.
Especially those top powers, who were very worried that Gu Chen might come knocking on their doors to eradicate these top forces that had lasted for more than a thousand years.
Now, the purpose of Gu Chen, the purpose of Da Xia, was not to say that everyone knew it, but it was almost the same.
Or rather, Gu Chen’s intention to suppress the world was a public secret; he wanted everyone to witness his strength and then willingly submit to him.
Surface submission with backstabbing was not what Gu Chen needed; he would simply eradicate them right away.

Martial artists are proud; no one wants to live with a sharp blade constantly hanging over their head. Even if that person was Gu Chen, even the number one martial talent of ancient and modern times in the nine provinces, it wouldn’t do.
And so, one of the Nine Sects, Spirit One Sect, took the initiative to send out invitations to all the major powers in the world, hoping that they would gather today at Wang Ling Manor to discuss this matter.
At this moment, Wang Ling Manor was brightly lit, as bright as day.
Inside a huge hall, it was vast and splendidly decorated with various antiques and famous paintings.
Sitting on the chairs made of golden-threaded sandalwood were figures of extraordinary presence; the aura of each individual was incredibly strong, harmonizing with heaven and earth. Without exception, these people were all Xiantian realm martial masters!
One Wang Ling Manor had gathered more than twenty Xiantian realm martial masters. If this news spread throughout the world, it would cause a sensation, because nearly all the leaders of the world’s top powers had come here tonight.
Of course, there were some who had not been invited, such as the Canghai Sect without Xiantian realm members, and there were some who did not come, such as the Da Guangming Sect from Yan State.
Using the old master’s unhealed injuries as an excuse, the Da Guangming Sect had closed its gates and allowed no disciples to leave the mountain after the battle in Yan State.
Therefore, the Da Guangming Sect did not participate this time.
As the initiator, Spirit One Sect naturally hosted the gathering, and sitting in the foremost position was Yang Tong, the current Sect Leader of Spirit One Sect.
He, too, was a Xiantian realm martial grandmaster at the peak of perfection. At this moment, Yang Tong surveyed the entire hall, furrowed his brow upon seeing the representative from Zhenwu Gate, and said, "Why didn’t the old Celestial Master come?"
As one of the most powerful forces in the Jianghu, Zhenwu Gate was naturally one of the main invitees by Spirit One Sect this time. However, to the surprise of Spirit One Sect Leader Yang Tong, it was not the old Celestial Master who was invited this time, but Zhang Chengxuan, known as the young Celestial Master.
Although there is only a one-word difference in their titles, the difference in strength and prestige between the two can be said to be vast.
Even though Zhang Chengxuan was young, he had already reached the Xiantian realm, achieving the position of a martial grandmaster, but here, today, he was still just a junior.
Hearing Yang Tong’s words, Zhang Chengxuan, dressed in a purple robe, slowly opened his mouth and said, "The old Celestial Master rarely descends the mountain. Whatever it is, you can tell me, and I will relay it to the old Celestial Master after returning to the mountain."
Yang Tong frowned, but did not say any more.
No matter what he said, the old Celestial Master would not appear, but if today he could unite all the forces present, even the old Celestial Master of Zhenwu Gate would have to take a stance and could no longer be ambiguous as now.
Even Yang Tong was considering that if he could facilitate this matter and bind all the top powers into an alliance to contend with Da Xia, or even with Six Union God Sect, then as the initiator, Spirit One Sect, or rather he, Yang Tong, might have a chance to ascend to the position of the Martial Alliance Leader.
Once this alliance was formed, a leader would need to be chosen. Whoever took charge would naturally be the so-called Martial Alliance Leader, having control over the whole Jianghu.
In a flash of thought, a desire for power ignited fiercely in Yang Tong’s heart; to facilitate this matter, he suddenly became even more enthusiastic and devoted.
Yang Tong’s gaze swept the entire hall—Beidou Sect, Qinglong Valley, Zhenwu Gate, Xuantian Sect, the Shang clan, the Murong family, the Mo family, Shen Martial Sect, and others were all present.
Most of these forces had dealt with Gu Chen before; they knew his capabilities and talents all too well.
Even Yang Tong was clear that not only were these Xiantian realm martial grandmasters present today at Wang Ling Manor, but even the top martial grandmasters of the Transcendent Divine realm were gathered here, and not just one.
