Outside the Celestial Treasure Palace.
The once bustling temple of Great Dao Teaching, filled with incense offerings, has now fallen into decay.
After the Zhenyi Sect drove the people away, they did not send anyone to tidy it up but left it vacant here.
Then they went on to vie with the Western Sect for various positions of real power in the court.
Each of the twelve provinces has positions with governing authority.
The collapse of the Celestial Treasure Palace has opened up many positions, enough for the two factions to split for a while.
Meanwhile, the Spirit Emperor remains indifferent, recently obsessed with the Celestial Demon Dance, showing no concern for external matters.
At this moment on Heavenly Treasure Mountain.
The white flowers of the mountain have long fallen and withered.
Only the bare trunks remain, awaiting new sprouts.
"The scent of medicine unknown, the white flowers on the Cloud Terrace....."
Inside the vast emptiness of the Celestial Treasure Palace.
