Soon, this news spread throughout the entire temple.
In the blink of an eye, Taoist Taixuan's mountain manor saw its doorstep trampled to the ground.
Only the faction led by Song Lin and a few members of Ziyuan remained unusually quiet.
It wasn't that Song Lin lacked social awareness; having not chosen a side earlier, suddenly doing so now would neither gain him favor nor would it avoid offending Ziyuan.
The best course of action for now was to play dead.
The situation was far more complicated than it seemed.
The temple master's act of passing down the title implied that they sustained injuries in the last great battle, severe enough to render them incapable of carrying out their responsibilities. Thus, the position was handed over to Taixuan.
However, Ziyuan's cultivation was slightly superior to Taixuan's, which added an element of uncertainty.
After Qi Refinement comes Divine Establishment; following Divine Establishment comes Core Formation.
