However, with insufficient heritage, the Heavenly Master’s Mansion was suppressed by the secretly powerful Celestial Venerables and was marginalized before it could rise, so much so that even the Immortal Emperor paid little attention to the few Heavenly Masters now.
Now, the four Heavenly Master’s Mansions basically held nominal but no real power in the Heavenly Court...
