Cultivation cannot save the heavens and earth.
——Li Ping'an.
Before this pivotal conference officially began, Li Ping'an gathered over 130 Alchemy Grandmasters and master Artifact Refiners for a simple meal.
Inside the grand hall.
Ten rows and fourteen columns of low tables were neatly arranged like fish scales;
The assembled masters appeared in 'formal attire,' sitting upright and solemn behind their tables.
Li Ping'an wore his usual green robe, with a tied Dao bun, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He exuded the majesty befitting the Heavenly Emperor yet retained an approachable warmth and affability.
He raised his wine cup, and the Alchemy and Artifact Refining Grandmasters, along with their companions from the Heavenly Court, simultaneously raised their cups and drank heartily.
Xu Sheng chuckled and asked, "Your Majesty, you've summoned us all here on short notice. May I ask what orders you have for us?"
