Several days later, inside a newly constructed Palace deep within Ten Thousand Caves Mountain.
The Palace sat atop a mist-shrouded mountain peak. Constructed primarily from elegant white jade and bluestone, its structure was simple yet grand, with a pure, natural Dao Rhyme flowing between its upturned eaves and interlocking brackets.
The furnishings within the Palace were few, but each piece was exquisitely crafted.
A wisp of fragrant incense smoke curled upward from a censer, filling the entire space with a sense of tranquility and transcendence.
At this moment, within the Palace's Main Hall, Qi Yun sat high in the main seat. He was upon a wide Cloud Bed, his aura calm, and his Deep Blue Daoist Robe lent him an air of majesty.
Below him sat five Foundation Establishment Masters, each with a profound aura.
