The arrival of the Divine Forging Sect and Celestial Spirit Sect at this critical juncture was almost certainly not a good thing.
Shi Xueyun and several elders rose and walked out of the palace. Outside, the Sect Masters of both the Divine Forging Sect and the Celestial Spirit Sect had arrived, their auras overbearing. Both men were in their thirties, with cultivation at the fifth or sixth level of the Core Formation Stage. The contrast with Shi Xueyun was immediately apparent.
Shi Xueyun was only in her early twenties, but her cultivation was stronger than theirs, having reached the seventh level of the Core Formation Stage. In a few years, she was expected to break through to the Spirit Pill Stage without any issue. This was true talent! Only this heaven-defying talent allowed her to firmly hold her position as Palace Master.
