In the Three Clear Dao Sect, within the Jade Emperor Palace, Huayang sat in the prime position.
The Three Clear Heavenly Lords held their positions in a cyclical manner every fifty years.
Those who closed their doors for cultivation could choose to extend their term or skip ahead, but they had to make up for the lost time later.
Gu Wen had already missed his term by three hundred years.
It should have been his turn to make up for it, but now, the Yuqing Heavenly Lord and the Chitian Heavenly Lord had "eloped."
Yun Miao often goofed off, leaving the heavy burden of ruling the world resting on him alone.
By calculation, Huayang had been in power for five hundred years, and more than half of that time had been spent in the role of governance.
He had accumulated considerable prestige, but in return, his cultivation had stagnated.
Yun Miao had continuously mocked him, claiming that in this lifetime, he would no longer have the chance to become an immortal.
Suddenly, a ray of light flew in.
Huayang opened it, and his gaze sharpened.
A strand of divine thought flew out from Jade Emperor Palace, entering the heaven prison realm where he summoned the heads of various departments.
A crowd of divine thoughts transformed into human forms and gathered.
