Qadirre's brow furrowed in confusion. “What are you insinuating?" The Celestial Sage said solemnly, "Although the Earthly Sage and I reside in the Tai Chi World, we're not living beings. You should know that." The Earthly Sage lifted his head and said coldly, "We're manifestations of Yin-Yang Aura. Hence, our auras far surpass that of mere beings. Although you're temporarily taking over as the Yang governor, | must inquire, are you a living being or a manifestation of aura?" Qadirre's expression stiffened, completely at a loss for words.
The Celestial Sage continued. "As far as | know, he wasn't born from energy nor Tai Chi, Yehria. In truth, she is a mere mortal who attained strength through cultivation. Hence, his insistence on our homage violates the natural order and the Law of Paths." At that moment, a collective shock rippled through the hall as they were reminded of the Celestial and Earthly Sages' origins. Although they were not exceptional powerhouses, they were still born of Yin- Yang Aura. Hence, their status was naturally higher than everyone present, even including Tai Chi.
They demanded that a superior being bow before a mortal, which was against Zymurgy's natural order.
Xaiden suddenly turned around and shouted, "Outrageous! How dare you act so arrogantly before Tai Chi. Do you have a death wish..." Before he could act, Xaiden was halted by a warning glare from the Celestial and Earthly Sages.

"If it's a fight you want, we're ready to fight. You may be at the Seventh Xaeclon Rank, but so are we. How about we test it out?" the Earthly Sage retorted coldly.
Xaiden's lips twitched as he was confronted by the Celestial and Earthly Sages' unwavering pride. However, he had no choice but to relax his clenched fists.
Mattaniah laughed, "When greater power is absent, the weak start to assert dominance." His words instantly drew everyone's attention.
Mattaniah lifted his head with a gentle smile and said, "Qadirre, from what I recall, you and | were once part of the ssect, makingyour senior. Is that correct?" Qadirre's expression shifted, his cheeks twitching in anger. "Are you looking to stir up trouble with them too?" Mattaniah said calmly, "We respect Tai Chi. However, it's the position that we revere. That doesn't entail allowing anyone to misuse Tai Chi Power, feign authority, or suppress others." Qadirre trembled, his anger evident as he gritted his teeth. "Fine, it seems you're all bent on rebellion. Today." “Qaddire," stern female voice interrupted him. Shortly after, a woman appeared atop the palace wall.
Qaddire turned to her with a frown and asked, “What are you doing here, Ylva?" Ylva said solemnly, “They speak the truth. If Tai Chi has issued a decree, then announce it accordingly. There's no need for any personal agendas and create unnecessary conflicts." “You..." Qadirre's anger flared.
Ylva asserted firmly, “Don't forget. Our positions are only temporary. You have the authority to decide on matters, but | have the power to veto." Qadirre felt an unfamiliar feeling of shame. He knew that despite his esteemed position as the temporary Yang governor, his decisions would face opposition from many. Yet, he never expected this group of seemingly insignificant beings to dare to challenge him.
With Ylva's intervention, he could no longer continue his arrogant behavior.
Resigned to the situation, he announced the assignment of Tai Chi Guardians.
