The events of the Golden Life Pavilion were major, impacting many different alliances, interests, and relationships. It brought to fore the gathering strength of the Golden Life Pavilion, displaying their means to all, while simultaneously gaining a hefty chunk for the heavily-spectated event itself. It was a brilliant move, yet the outcome left countless gawking in stunned disbelief.
Ma Zheng, the former Third Branch Manager of the Golden Life Pavilion, and one of the oldest living cultivators to date, had somehow claimed victory with two wins and a draw! A fabulous achievement that laid claim to the Pavilion Master seat in the most rightful manner.
