Translator: 549690339
“Junior Brother floating cloud, since things have come to this, it’s time to make the arrangements.” The hunchbacked true venerate mufeng said,”do you really want to make Chen jingzhai your advisor? Do you know that all the major branches are rubbing their fists and wiping their palms, preparing for the challenge? Once Chen jingzhai is no match for him ...”
“Elder mu, I’m afraid you don’t know that Jing Zhai is already at the divine transformation realm,” Fu Yunzi interrupted him.”Moreover, I’m the one who accepted Jing Zhai as a disciple on behalf of my master. They’re considered as direct descendants. Whether it’s their qualifications or strength, Jing Zhai can’t refute them. He’s the only one.”
As soon as he said that, the crowd was in an uproar. They all looked at Chen jingzhai in disbelief. Chen jingzhai had only cultivated for less than two hundred years!
“Is this true?” True venerate mufeng looked at Chen jingzhai.”Why can’t I see through it?”
“Jingzhai has its own secret technique of breath control,” Chen jingzhai said indifferently.”Elder mu only needs to know that jingzhai will not lose. Everyone has their own opportunities, so don’t ask around.”
“Don’t be rude,” Fu Yunzi said calmly,”elder mu is a respected senior. Since he can’t see through it, he should show his strength to prove himself.”
“What do you think, elder mu?” Chen jingzhai asked.
“Since you’re a soul formation true venerate, I have no objections.” After true venerate mufeng finished speaking, he didn’t say anything else. He didn’t leave either, and he didn’t move like an old tree root.
“I don’t think anyone has any objections. In the future, when jingzhai becomes the Wayfarer, everyone must help her well and not Sully the reputation of the ninth bloodline or the reputation of the allheaven celestial gate. After three incense sticks ‘time, we will announce to the sect that we will hold a ceremony to inherit the position of Wayfarer.”
Fu Yunzi said calmly.
“Isn’t it too fast?” A soul formation true venerate asked.
“I don’t have much time left,” Fu Yunzi said indifferently,”if you don’t want to be implicated by the Qi of disaster, you’d better hurry up. I think the branch can’t wait any longer.”
The divine transformation realm cultivators were speechless and saluted him.
......
Other than a few divine transformation realm elders who went to inform the sect, the rest of the divine transformation realm cultivators did not leave. Fu Yunzi began to introduce them to Chen jingzhai.
There were two types of soul formation true venerates in the ninth branch. One was from the luosheng sword sect. In the ninth branch, they were the direct descendants of the floating clouds Wayfarer. True venerate mufeng was also from a hidden branch. The second was to accept disciples from the pulao region and walk the Orthodox path. Fairy Chunyu was like this in this life. She was an elder of the ninth bloodline and was the most special.
No matter what, at least on the surface, the ninth branch was ruled by the floating clouds Wayfarer. He was a disciple of an immortal and had traveled the world before. He had fought with other immortal disciples, so he was recognized in both prestige and strength.
If Chen jingzhai wanted to control the ninth branch, he would have to subdue them. He would have to get the approval of at least half of the soul formation true venerates. However, this was not difficult because The Guardian branch stood by his side naturally and did not even have to worry about betrayal.
The Guardian branch was the power of the advisor and the patriarch’s Hall. Once a cultivator betrayed, the patriarch’s Hall would naturally issue a kill order. When that time came, everyone in the immortal sect would have to kill the traitor, even the immortals.
This rule that had been passed down was also the reason why the Wayfarer was so attractive. Among all the generations of wayfarers, Fu Yunzi was definitely the one who had been in power for the shortest time, and he was also the one who was the most restless among all the main and branch bloodlines. Unfortunately, the main bloodline had Immortals, so they could not act rashly. Moreover, they had reached a tacit agreement with Fu Yunzi. Otherwise, someone would have definitely made a move.
On the contrary, this gave the subsidiary sects an opportunity. At this time, the entire allheaven immortal sect was in an uproar. As the elder of the ninth branch informed them, more and more cultivators began to gather at the floating clouds Daoist sect, including the divine transformation realm cultivators from the other main branches.
In the blink of an eye, the time for three incense sticks to burn had passed, and the floating clouds dojo was bustling with activity.
Chu wuxia, su qingluan, and Ji Shuanghua stood beside fairy Chunyu. In addition, senior brother Chen Lei, Zhao Hao, Li Yingli, Pei Dong ‘er, Kong Guang, Wang Yao, Qiao Haisheng, and the other elites and deacons that Chen jingzhai was familiar with had all come along with the divine transformation realm cultivators of their branch.
In the training hall, Fu Yunzi sat on the clouds and floated motionlessly. Beside him stood Chen jingzhai and true venerate mufeng, who was hosting the succession ceremony.
The people from the ninth bloodline stood on the far left while the other 10th, 11th, and 12th bloodlines spread out and stood next to the ninth bloodline. As the current leader of the iron sword bloodline, they stood on the far right.
Each of the eight branches had a divine transformation realm expert from their family. They stood with the neutral forces such as the hall of array and the hall of talismans, but they seemed to have more people and more momentum.
“Is this the sect’s Foundation?” Chen jingzhai looked at the group of semi-God Realm Warriors and exclaimed in his heart.
There were more than 100 soul formation true venerates from the main branch and more soul formation true venerates from the branch. It was no wonder that the black fiend mansion was so afraid of the allheaven immortal sect and wanted to work with the immortal Alliance to suppress the development of the allheaven immortal sect in secret.
It should be known that even one-fifth of these two hundred soul formation true venerates could sacrifice their lives in the weapon world at a critical moment. Whether they became the multi-treasure loose immortal or undead immortal, they were a terrifying force. Even the starry sky Palace would not be too excited about it, not to mention the four immortals in the allheaven immortal sect.
“Fellow sect members, the floating clouds Wayfarer is facing a calamity. He wishes to step down from the Wayfarer’s position and let the number one prodigy of the sect, Chen jingzhai, take over.” True venerate mufeng said,”the ninth bloodline has already reached a consensus and acknowledges this matter. I hope that all bloodlines can express their opinions.”
“The 10th Meridian has no objections.”
“The 11 meridians have no objections.”
“The twelve lineages agree.”
“The iron sword lineage agrees.”
The soul formation true venerates of the four main branches expressed their opinions one after another. This was a tacit understanding between the main branches. In the past, the succession of advisors had always been decided by the ninth branch, and the other main branches would not object. Even if they had objections, the main branch would let their own geniuses challenge the successor ahead of time.
Now, not to mention Fu Yunzi’s power and his arrangements, just Chen jingzhai taking over was more in line with everyone’s wishes. After all, Chen jingzhai was the number one heaven’s pride in the sect, and moon Pavilion had made a lot of contributions to the sect.
Therefore, regardless of Chen jingzhai’s strength, the main branch would never vote against him during the succession ceremony. Once they did so, the tacit understanding between the main branches would be torn apart, which meant that there would be internal strife in the allheaven immortal gate, which would directly alarm the immortals.
With the approval of the array Hall and the talisman Hall, it was soon the subsidiary sect’s turn.
“The HU clan objects. They want to challenge Chen tianjiao.”
“The ye clan objects. They wish to challenge Chen tianjiao.”
“The Xie family objects. They wish to challenge Chen tianjiao.”
“Lady Liu objects. She wants to challenge Chen tianjiao.”
Four divine transformation realm cultivators from the branch families spoke up in a row, making the atmosphere a little more oppressive. However, as the other four families gathered, the pressure was put on Chen jingzhai.
“Does Chen tianjiao accept the challenge?” Asked true venerate mufeng.
“Accept the challenge.” Chen jingzhai said calmly,”jingzhai will only fight once. The challengers from the four branches can fight. Any method will do.”
“Chen tianjiao accepts the challenge. According to the sect rules, Chen tianjiao’s first day of registration as a disciple is the starting point. In the next five hundred years, all cultivators from the four major branches are free to challenge him.” True venerate mufeng said calmly.
“Let’s do as Jing Zhai says,” Fu Yunzi said,”if Jing Zhai fails, this ceremony will be declared invalid. Let’s begin!”
He waved his hand, and an arena appeared in the Taoist sanctum. Just like the forum stage, it looked small, but it was actually very wide inside. There were many restrictions, so even if someone fought inside, it would not affect the Taoist sanctum.
Chen jingzhai flew in lightly and stood in the ring. He looked at the four branches, especially Hu Shouyang, but didn’t say anything.
Hu Shouyang forced a smile. His body turned into a shooting star and quickly landed on the ring. After that, cultivators from the other three families entered the ring. However, they were not heaven’s favorites. They were all perfected cultivators in the late stage of the nascent soul realm and were all deacons.
Unlike Hu Shouyang’s helplessness, the other three nascent souls attacked the moment they entered the ring. Three Daoist techniques and three numinous treasures turned into three streams of light and rushed towards Chen jingzhai, looking like they had a tacit understanding.
The cultivators of the subsidiary sects had conflicting relationships with each other. They were hostile to each other, but they could work together to deal with the disciples of the main sect or enemies.
The three nascent souls worked together tacitly and executed a battle formation. With the amplification of the battle formation, they went all out right from the start. Numinous treasures combined with Dao techniques were already the strongest means of nascent souls.
