At the height of the Azure Dragon Temple’s power, it was the undisputed leader in the Beyond the World.
During that time, all major sects essentially looked up to the Azure Dragon Temple.
Even when there were conflicts of interest between sects, they would ask the Azure Dragon Temple to preside over justice.
Under such circumstances, to better convey messages, the Azure Dragon Temple created the Azure Dragon Order.
To put it plainly, it’s a letter with the emblem of the Azure Dragon Temple.
But at that time, this Azure Dragon Order represented supreme authority.
Wherever it passed, all sects submitted to it.
However, as time passed, the Azure Dragon Temple endured several hardships, its strength greatly diminished and it could no longer relive its past glory. Naturally, the Azure Dragon Order became merely a name.
Now, seeing Zhao Ya mention the Azure Dragon Order again and wanting to send it across the Beyond the World to various sects, Qin Jianji and others felt a mix of emotions in their hearts.
Shen Yunshen was the first to stand out and express support.
"Good, it should have been done long ago! Damn it, when our sect first fell, those outside couldn’t wait to expel us from the Thirteen Sects of Beyond the World. I’ve always remembered this hatred, just using this opportunity to slap those short-sighted people’s faces."
Even Guo Luming did not express opposition.
He knew that the Azure Dragon Temple had been lying low for long enough, and it was indeed time to show some edge and vent.
Quickly, Zhao Ya, in the capacity of the current Temple Master of Azure Dragon Temple, signed dozens of Azure Dragon Orders, and then handed them to the capable disciples to send to various major sects.
These disciples, upon receiving orders, all showed great excitement, each patting their chests and promising not to disgrace their mission.
For these disciples, the reappearance of the Azure Dragon Order undoubtedly signified that their sect had finally overcome its difficulties and was heading towards a more glorious future.
And in this world where Martial Dao is revered, a powerful sect is itself a great aid during one’s cultivation.
Zhao Ya did not dampen the enthusiasm of these disciples but merely instructed them to act according to circumstances, to temporarily retreat if facing an unsolvable situation, leaving the rest to the sect to handle.
These disciples accepted their missions and departed.
After doing all this, Zhao Ya did not remain idle but immediately began coordinating the defense plans of the Azure Dragon Temple.
As the headquarters and base, the Azure Dragon Temple could not afford any mishaps, so the more careful, the better.
Fortunately, during the past two years of sealing the mountain, the Azure Dragon Temple had not been idle, always secretly accumulating strength.
Therefore, now coordinating and planning was not difficult.
And just as the Azure Dragon Temple was preparing intensely for the impending war, ripples were gradually arising in the Beyond the World due to the sudden appearance of the Azure Dragon Order....
Dragon Elephant Institute.
Ranked among the middle-to-upper sects in the Thirteen Sects of Beyond the World, the Dragon Elephant Institute was not far from the Azure Dragon Temple, making it the first sect to receive the Azure Dragon Order.
The Dean of the Dragon Elephant Institute was named Wu Weili, a tall man standing nearly two meters, weighing close to four hundred pounds.
In every move he made, one could vaguely see his skin glowing with a metallic luster similar to fine steel.
This was the manifestation of reaching the Realm of Divinity in the Dragon Elephant Body Refining Technique.
Wu Weili relied on this Horizontal Refining Skill to become one of the top Martial Dao grandmasters in the Beyond the World.
And at this moment, while gnawing on a leg of lamb, he frowned and said, "People from the Azure Dragon Temple came to pay respects?"
"That’s right, Dean. This person insists on having a very important letter to personally present to you," a subordinate reported.
Wu Weili took a bite, crushing the hard bone, while sucking out the marrow inside, he sneered.
"A very important letter? Heh, the Azure Dragon Temple has already been expelled from the Thirteen Sects of Beyond the World. If they don’t honestly seal their mountain and live quietly, what important letter could they have?"
"Should we chase this person away?"
"Forget it, let him in. I want to see what tricks the Azure Dragon Temple can play." Wu Weili said indifferently.
"Yes!"
Soon, the subordinate led the Azure Dragon disciple who came to deliver the letter inside.
The hall of the Dragon Elephant Institute was grand and imposing, with each Dragon Elephant Institute disciple inside being a Martial Dao powerhouse.
Devoting themselves to Body Techniques, all their disciples were tall and large, with an extremely extraordinary aura.
When the Azure Dragon disciple entered, everyone in the hall looked at him malevolently.
The sense of oppression was palpable.
Yet this disciple of the Azure Dragon Temple seemed completely unaware, striding forward to the bottom of the steps, cupping his fists towards Wu Weili seated above.
"Azure Dragon disciple, greets Dean Wu!"
"How bold!"
"Insolent!"
Before Wu Weili could speak, someone immediately shouted sharply, and simultaneously someone else said sinisterly.
"Why don’t you kneel when meeting our Dean?"
This Azure Dragon Temple disciple showed not a hint of fear, lightly patting his chest.
"With the Azure Dragon Order on me, I naturally cannot kneel."
"Azure Dragon Order?" Wu Weili, focused on sucking marrow, raised his head upon hearing this, his eyes narrowing slightly to look at the young disciple below.
"That’s right, personally signed by our Temple Master."
This disciple’s face was somewhat pale.
After all, facing Wu Weili’s might, even a careless glimpse was hard to bear due to the vast gap in strength.
Yet even so, this disciple still stood his ground, unwilling to show a trace of cowardice.
"Current Temple Master...." Wu Weili muttered these words with interest, then grinned.
