"Sword Master, the entire Great Xuan Realm is now in chaos.

The struggle among the three forces has made life impossible for the people of Central Earth, with countless lives lost and grievances soaring, lingering without dispersing.

If this continues, it may harm the great fortune of our Human Race."

Dao Alliance, Heavenly Mechanism Hall.

In the vast, pitch-black hall, twelve gold disks engraved with ancient Human Race inscriptions float up and down.

And this is the highest authority organization within the Dao Alliance.

The Twelve Members!

At this moment, nine figures are seated cross-legged on the gold disks, while three disks are empty, their owners either absent or not yet determined.

Sitting on the topmost gold disk, in a plain robe, with white hair and a stern expression, the Qinglian Sword Venerable had his eyes half-closed. After a while, he slowly spoke:

"This time, the forces from Outside the Domain have waged war against our Tianyuan Main Realm, forcing our Dao Alliance to devote most of its attention outside the domain.

We have indeed neglected many matters in Central Earth.

The Zhao Dynasty has gone against the Heavenly Dao, their fate is exhausted, and they should step down.

However, the position in the Central Imperial Court is not something anyone can just take.

Jing Zhe, your cousin is using the pretense of raising an army to protect the king, but he is recklessly committing slaughter, accounting for half of the civilian casualties this time.

Go back and tell him.

If he enjoys killing so much, I can arrange to send him outside the domain, where he can kill as many aliens as he likes."

Being named directly by the Qinglian Sword Venerable, Yang Jingzhe, sitting on one side, looked slightly embarrassed.

Although officially there is no hierarchy among the Twelve Members, and their status is equal,

this generation's Qinglian Sword Venerable is the strongest Sword Dao Venerable since the Immortal.

With a longsword, he once consecutively defeated nineteen Outer Realm Evil Gods, earning people's complete respect and admiration.

His exceedingly formidable style has brought the Dao Alliance's power to its peak, but it also put immense pressure on the other True Venerables among the Twelve Members.

Most of the time, even they feel a twinge of fear towards this old venerable.

"Rest assured, True Venerable, I will surely convey your message.

If he dares to act recklessly again, I will personally throw him outside the domain."

Nodding in response, Yang Jingzhe outwardly remained expressionless, though inside, he was already cursing.

That damned brat got me named and criticized.

Just you wait, when I get back, I'll beat you until you can't sit down!

"The Zhao Family's fate has run out, and their desperate resistance only increases the slaughter.

What was the resolution regarding the last incident in the South Sea?"

As he spoke, the Qinglian Sword Venerable turned his gaze towards a scholar in a green robe.

This man was Meng Ling, the dean of Haoran Academy and one of the Twelve Members.

Feeling the Qinglian Sword Sect's gaze, Meng Ling slowly shook his head:

"After the South Sea incident, I arranged several meetings with Zhao Xuanyin, but the Zhao Family always sent word that he was bedridden with illness and unable to rise.

With the delay, specific news hadn't come before the Great Xuan civil war broke out."

"Hmph!"

A light snort caused the entire Heavenly Mechanism Hall to quiver slightly. The Qinglian Sword Sect slowly opened his eyes slightly, piercingly bright and sharp, cutting countless cracks in the void.

"It seems the Zhao Family has long decided to go all out.

That's fine, then we don't need to follow the usual procedures.

The Zhao Family has lost the people's support and committed grave sins.

Meng Ling, immediately draft an order, recalling the Imperial Court Divine Artifact from their hands!

If they dare to resist, kill them!"

The murderous words of Qinglian Sword Venerable sent a chilly ripple through those present among the Twelve Members of True Venerable.

At the same time, they internally sighed at the gall of the Zhao Family, truly reckless and unaware of the heavens' height and earth's depth.

After a thousand years as the emperor of the Human Race, did they truly believe they held ultimate power over the world?

Didn't they realize, that the Dao Alliance that let them sit in that position could also make them step down?

Had the old Sword Venerable not been dealing with the allied army outside the domain recently,

they would have already been lined up kneeling, awaiting execution long ago.

"Understood, Meng Ling."

Responding promptly, the True Venerables of the Twelve Members prepared to leave, but just as they rose, hundreds of golden lights suddenly emerged from the pond at the bottom of the initially dark and dim Heavenly Mechanism Hall.

Vast rays of light filled the hall,

casting a golden hue over the faces of the True Venerables.

"Hmm? Someone is attempting to pass the Great Tribulation of the Primordial Spirit?!"

In a tone of surprise, the Members of True Venerable turned their gaze towards the Heavenly Mechanism Pond below.

Within the still, mercury-like, yet clear and crystalline pond,

a lotus flower was beginning to bloom.

This lotus was suffused with a jade and silver hue, with a faint Dao pattern appearing on its surface, while beneath, lightning flickered continuously on its leaves, radiating majestic heavenly might.

Upon seeing the Thunder Law Dao Pattern on the lotus and the lightning, the True Venerables' eyes immediately revealed understanding.

"It's that person from the Shenxiao Sect again."

"Including this time, it's his seventh attempt at passing the Great Primordial Spirit Tribulation, right."

"Indeed, over these years, only he has the depth and qualification to pursue the Primordial Spirit Great Path."

"Seven attempts to pass the tribulation without success or demise, isn't that a kind of skill in itself."

"With Shenxiao Sect mastering the Great Dao of Thunder Law, he has an innate advantage in passing tribulations.

Moreover, every time he attempts the tribulation, Dongfang Qing personally protects him by holding up that Lei City.

When the tribulation threatens his life, Dongfang intervenes to forcibly end it.

Otherwise, did you really think someone could attempt to forcefully pass the Great Primordial Spirit Tribulation seven times without dying?"

Gazing at the blooming tribulation flower of the Primordial Spirit, the True Venerables were both curious and indifferent, but mostly a little envious.
