Emperor’s Domination

portance in the system with the majority of sects and clans participating. Though it was meant to worship the ancestors, it was also a way for Longevity Valley to remind everyone else of their position and control. Thus, only the orthodox branch could preside over the ceremony, openly telling everyone else that they are still in charge.

Due to the ambush, one particular development could have been Everlasting interfering with the ceremony due to the absence of the valley lord.

If Longevity Valley failed to maintain control, Everlasting would take over and no one else would dare to oppose this due to their current power. At that point, they would be one step closer towards seizing the reign of the system. Replacing Longevity Valley would only be a matter of time. This was why Miaozhen thought that someone was behind all of this. The timing of the ambush was too much of a coincidence.

Alchemy Hutwas a sacred ground of the system, a place of pilgrimage. In a sense, it didnt belong to anyone alone, not even Longevity Valley.

Thus, some considered it their ancestral ground. Many cultivators and alchemists journeyed to reach this place.

Of course, it was no hut. The place consisted of numerous mountain ranges, verdant hills, and waterfalls. Of course, one couldnt forget about the trees and flowers.

Deeper inside were magnificent mountains floating in the sky, hidden behind the clouds. They had stone steps leading to the sky.

The largest one was in the very center and pierced straight up above just like a heavenly pillar. The sun and moon floated around it. One could see it from a thousand miles away.

Some believed that these floating mountains, especially the largest one, were the core of Alchemy Hut.

There was a peculiar poem about this location – A young apprentice was asked, where does your teacher find his herbs? The boy answered, in this mountain, somewhere among the clouds.

The mountain mentioned here was the one in the center. Rumor has it that Alchemy Immortal had cultivated, found herbs, and refined pills here. Some True Emperors and progenitors descended from Immortal Lineage just to ask him for medicine.

Of course, inferior beings came in droves as well. More often than not, Alchemy Immortal would avoid them by telling his followers to use the excuse that he was away finding more herbs.

Thus, this poem was famous during his generation. Everyone who wanted to ask for medicines thought about it.

As time passed by, the glory days didnt return. Without Alchemy Immortal, the top beings no longer visited. Alchemy Hut became desolate unlike before.

Nevertheless, the cultivators in the system still considered this as their ancestral ground. Many alchemists would travel here at least once in their life. They all respected Alchemy Immortal, thinking that he had few peers in all of history.

The conference was about to begin and this added some life to the area. Many disciples from various powers have arrived early.

Longevity Valley prepared ahead of time. Their disciples were already here to greet people from all over the world.

When Miaozhens group showed up, many tasks have been carried out. This wasnt their first time taking charge of this event so they were quite good at it.
