"Headmaster, you cannot," responded one teacher, and this time many other people agreed with him.
"The Devil God Bone was reserved for Lin Fan to temper his body. Without it, even with his Absolute Chaos Physique, his fleshly body will not be able to compete with the likes of Wang Wei," said another person.
"I understand how you feel," replied Bai Han calmly, "But we all know that if we do not prevent Wang Wei from gaining access to the Dao Tablets, with his talent, he can create a supremely powerful cultivation technique perfectly suited for his Fate Puppeteer Physique.
"By then, how powerful will he be? Even if Lin Fan refine the Devil Gone Bone, he will merely decrease the gap with him by a little amount. So, our best solution is to prevent him from furthering his lead on the other Heaven Chosens."
The room became quiet after Bai Han spoke. Although his words were reasonable--at least now it was--many people still could not accept handing out such a precious resource to one of their competitors in order to stop the advancement of another more powerful competitor.
"This is madness," roared one teacher. Then, he stood up and left the room. A few people agreed with this sentiment, so they also left the room without saying much.
Bai Han looked at the people who left with cold eyes, then he said calmly to the remaining people:
"The situation is not as bad as these people make it out to be. With how powerful the Devil God Bone is, it is impossible for Ji Song to refine it in any way form or shape--at least not with his current strength.
"So, the best outcome will be that he fused the bone with his, while replacing one of his own original bones with the Devil God Bone. So, as long as Lin Fan can defeat him in a battle in the future, he can still recapture it for his own use."
’This is a good way,’ thought many of the remaining teachers. It is proven that Ji Song is the kind of person that is easily provoked. As long as Lin Fan uses the same method as Wang Wei, he could probably get him to fight with him with the bone as a bet.
Of course some of the more wise teachers in the Academy knew that things would not be so simple, but they did not say anything.
Only the future can tell who is right and wrong in this situation.

Dao Opening Sect, Tianwei Peak, inside a Secret Room:
Sect Master Wang Tian was sitting cross-legged with a formation in front of him. In this formation, countless people were shown sitting cross-legged. These people ranged from young women to old one, from middle-aged men to young people in their 20’s, to old men that looked like they were about to die.
Nevertheless, despite the different appearance of these people, they were all from the same generation and were similar in ages.
However, the physical appearance of these people does not really matter; what’s important is the status or identity of these people.
In this meeting was the leader of all the Professional Associations in the Southern Vermillion Bird Continent, the sect master of the Eternal Dream Sect--which was one of the young beautiful women.
From the Eastern Azure Dragon Continent, there was JIan Yi, the Sword Sage of the Sword Casting Villa and Jian Wushuang’s master. There was also the previous generation Saintess of the Yin Moon Palace--who was the master of Su Ya. Finally was the Worshipping Dao Academy.
From the Western White Tiger Continent was the head of the Di family, the head of the Divine Dao League--who was Fang Lijuan’s father-- accompanied by the top Divine Clan of the League.
From the Central Qilin Continent was Sect Master Wang Tian, Sovereign Ji Wen--the father of Crown Prince Ji Song. Sovereign All Wisdom--who was the Sovereign of the Great Wu Imperial Dynasty and the father of Sun Jiaolong.
Finally, the Herd Master of Herd Raising Valley, the Celestial Master of the Taiyi Profound Gate and the Dao Priest of the Five Element Palace.
The Five Element Palace has 6 Great Emperors and is the sect that the number 6 physique, the Five Elements Balance Physique, Zhen Biyu belongs to.
Technically speaking, the Five Element Palace is located in the Eastern Continent. However, they used to live in the Central Continent, but left after losing a dispute with the Taiyi Profound Gate.
...
Back to this meeting that took place, all the factions mentioned were just the most powerful ones. Other Emperor Lineages with one or two Great Emperors were also present. For example, Wang Wei’s mother, Yu Yan, represented the Yu family.
Unfortunately, these factions were too weak to have any true representation in this meeting.
Nevertheless, without counting the Northern Black Tortoise Continent, the people in this meeting control more than 78-80% of the Myriad Emperor World.
"Is everyone here?" asked Wang Tian with a majestic voice, thus starting this meeting. Once everybody nodded, he continued.
"So, have all of you reached an agreement after so many years?"
"Ten years is not a very long time," said Sovereign All Wisdom.
"That may be true, but we are running out of time. We need to come to an agreement as soon as possible in order for our plans to have the best effect," replied Wang Tian.
Everybody nodded as this was indeed the truth.
"We have come to an agreement, but there are some concerns that I have," replied Su Ya’s master.
"Me too," added the leader of the Refiner Association Leader--who was an old man with white hair and beard.
"You can bring them up, as long as it does not involve my Dao Opening Sect’s 20% of the benefit," replied Wang Tian calmly.
Many people twitched the corner of their mouth after hearing this. Many people felt that this number was too high, however given that this plan was created by the Dao Opening Sect and nothing can be done without them, no one said anything.
Nevertheless, many people felt that the percentage that they received was too low, but after arguing for so many years, they still came to a final decision.
"I still think that this is a bad idea. What we are doing is to subvert the status quo of this world for countless millennia. We are essentially trampling on the wisdom of our Ancestors, spitting on the face of the Sages of the Past," said the old refiner with passion.
"Tsk, you just want to keep these mortals as ignorant as possible in order to keep exploiting them without them even being aware of it. If you do not want to participate, say so and we will find other people," replied the All Wisdom Sovereign with a sneering smirk.
The Refiner Association Leader gave him a deep look, then did not say anything further. Although he firmly believes in his previously spoken words, when it comes to the benefit he will soon receive, he can forsake his ideas and beliefs.
Everyone became silent after this brief confrontation, then someone finally spoke after a few seconds.
"My problem with this agreement is with the Yu family," continued the Yin Moon Saintess, while giving Yu Yan a fierce stare filled with killing intent. "Since she already belongs to the Dao Opening Sect, why is she accepting benefits from the Yu family?"
Yu Yan was calm despite being attacked as she was not that surprised. The two of them have been fighting for more than one generation now. First it was for the Heaven Will, then it was because of Wang Tian.
Yes, the Yin Moon Saintess loved sect master Wang Tian and pursued him during their generation. As a matter of fact, many women pursued him as he was the most handsome, most suave and powerful Heaven Chosen of his generation.
Unfortunately, the strict sect rules of the Yin Moon Palace prevented her from even having a remote chance.
"The Yu family is different from the Dao Opening Sect, and this should be obvious. By this logic, since your sister married into the Sword Casting Villa, shouldn’t your share be counted to them as well?" replied Yu Yan calmly.
The truth of the matter is that the percentage that their Yu family will receive is less than 1%. Nevertheless, this amount is enough to help heal her father that has been gravely injured for many years.
It’s true that her husband would be more than happy to use some of the benefits of the Dao Opening Sect to help her father, but since she can solve the problem herself, why seek help?
"Do not mention this traitor to me," hissed the Yin Moon Saintess after hearing Yu Yan’s comeback.
According to the rule of the Yin Moon Palace, their disciples are allowed to marry, but all their marriage partners have to marry into the Palace. So, it is forbidden for them to marry into other sects.
The culture of this world dictates that a woman must marry into her husband’s family, but the Yin Moon Palace’s law is the opposite. Despite this, many men still rushed to marry any of the women from the Palace. After all, this is a sect full of only beautiful women.
After the Yin Moon Saintess had a fit, she did not say anything anymore--only staring at Yu Yan.
As for Jian Yi from the Sword Casting Villa, he pretended that he did not hear anything. After all, this scandal was the fault of their Villa, and resulted in further increase the animosity between them and the Yin Moon Palace--which are two most powerful factions in the Eastern Continent.
As for Sect Master Wang Tian, he remains calm on the surface despite secretly cursing inside. He knew his wife the best, so he can predict that she will blame him for what happened today despite not doing anything.
’I guess I will be sleeping in my own cultivation room in the next few days, or months, Maybe Wei’er can help me... I’m crazy for thinking this brat would help me; it would be a miracle if he did not add more chaos to the situation’ secretly thought Wang Tian to himself.
"Well, since everybody has agreed, then we can sign the contract. Following which, the highest binding contract of this world was signed between all these powerful factions.
After the meeting was over, Wang Tian contacted his son who was still deep underwater.
"How was everything?" asked Wang Wei.
"Everything went according to your plan," replied Wang Tian with a smile on his face.
