Several significant events took place in Eastern Treasured Vial Continent after the New Year.3

Firstly, thanks to the strong recommendation of his senior brother, Heavenly Lord Qi Zhen, the young Daoist priest with a surprisingly senior status in the Divine Edict Sect was invited to the sect that controlled the Divine Edict Sect. 0

They derided the bumpkin Song Clan as having shallow knowledge and not even being able to tell north from south. Only Lake View Academy strictly prohibited its students from discussing this matter. This was something worth ruminating over.0

The other matters weren't as astounding as these three, and many of them were nothing more than rumors that had become more and more inaccurate as they were spread. Thus, it was difficult to determine the veracity of these things. For example, it was rumored that in the southernmost city of the continent, the Old Dragon City, Young Master Fu Nanhua was going to marry a direct descendant from some powerful...0
