Chapter 3437: The Position of the Sect Leader

A few days later,

Yang Daoxu arrived again.

He looked at Shen Changqing and smiled calmly, “What are your thoughts now, Master Shen?”

“Since the Sect Master is so kind, I can’t back down. I’ll do as you say!”

Shen Changqing nodded.

Yang

Daoxu was overjoyed. “Okay, since Master Shen has made the decision, I’ll go down and make the arrangements!”

The Sect Master abdicated!

This matter could affect the entire sect, and it was a matter of face, so it couldn’t be taken lightly.

Seeing this,

Shen Changqing didn’t refuse.

With his consent, Yang Daoxu immediately made the necessary preparations.

Meanwhile,

news of the abdication of the Sect Master position spread, instantly spreading throughout the Xuantian Dao Sect.

“That Danfeng guy is going to take the position of Sect Master!”

“The sect’s founder is actually Master Shen Feng?”

“Hiss… If that’s the case, then Master Shen Feng holding the position seems perfectly reasonable.”

Although the Xuantian Dao Sect was shaken by this news, given how unexpected it was, few opposed it.

Especially after they realized that Taixuzi was Shen Changqing, no one objected.

After all, the other cultivators in the sect were no fools. Having a top-tier expert take the helm was a boon.

Furthermore, Shen Changqing’s recent feat of slaying over a dozen Immortal Emperors in the Thousand Demon Territory had spread far and wide.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was only a matter of time before this person achieved immortality.

If Shen Changqing could break through to the Semi-Saint realm, the Xuantian Dao Sect would become a sect of immortality, and at that point, its status would naturally rise.

Being a disciple of the Immortal Sect of Immortality was undoubtedly a truly extraordinary achievement.

Why do so many cultivators strive to join major sects? It’s not just because of status issues, but also because the cultivation resources offered by major sects are different.

Therefore,

if Xuantian Dao Sect could be promoted to an immortal sect, there would be only benefits, no disadvantages.

Especially now, during the great calamity, with a top-tier expert presiding over the situation, it would certainly be

a different story. Therefore, when this news broke, everyone in Xuantian Dao Sect was almost unanimous.

Meanwhile,

other factions that learned of this news were also somewhat shocked.

…

“Taixuzi is Shen Changqing!”

“So that’s how it is—”

Within the Yuan clan’s ancestral land, Yuan Zun took a deep breath, his many previous doubts suddenly clearing up.

No wonder the Danfeng Peak Master had been able to easily suppress the Taiyan Clan, and no wonder Taixuzi’s strength had reached an astonishing level in such a short period of time.

So,

they were the same person.

Of course,

this also indirectly demonstrated the Danfeng Peak Master’s formidable talent and foundation.

As the most gifted cultivator of the Yuan clan and the only Immortal Emperor to reach the realm of Immortal Emperor, Yuan Zun possessed immense confidence in his own abilities.

Even so, it took him a long time to finally achieve his breakthrough.

Consider Shen Changqing, who had ascended from a newly promoted Ancient Immortal to his current level in less than a million years. Before the Great

Tribulation arrived, it was impossible for him to reach the Semi-Saint realm.

However, given his strength, even if he didn’t reach the Semi-Saint realm, his cultivation would surely have reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, and his power was undoubtedly unmatched by

anyone of his rank. Such talent was enough to make Yuan Zun Sheng unable to even contemplate comparison.

Yuan Zhao’s face was filled with envy, and even a hint of jealousy lingered: “Xuantian Dao Sect is fortunate to have recruited such a powerful individual.”

Back then, although Xuantian Dao Sect was one of the top sects in the Divine Heaven Realm, it was also precarious, threatened with collapse at any moment.

It was the recruitment of the Danfeng Peak Master that turned the tide.

If it weren’t for that Taixuzi’s appearance and sweeping across the land, the grass on the graves of Xuantian Dao Sect would likely be hundreds of feet tall.

If the Yuan family had been so lucky, their current strength and depth would be unimaginable.

They wouldn’t be in such a state, where even an Immortal Emperor emerged from the Yuan family and would still bow to Xuantian Dao Sect.

But there are no ifs and wherefores; facts are facts.   Yuan Zhao could only envy them.

Finally   ,   he looked at Yuan Zun and added, “However, there are rumors outside that Shen Changqing seems to be related to the Heavenly Demon Saint Lord!”   ”Heavenly Demon Saint Lord!”   Yuan Zun’s face paled slightly at the name.   While the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land was located in the Tianxing Domain, a high-level immortal realm, it was far removed from the Thousand Demon Domain, and normally wouldn’t have had much contact, let alone any understanding.   However,   the Heavenly Demon Saint Lord was different.   Hundreds of thousands of years ago, he had broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm and swept through numerous powerful enemies. The battle in the Eastern Abyss Domain had astounded everyone.   Even Yuan Zun was well-versed in his existence.   Hearing Yuan Zhao’s words, his expression naturally shifted.   ”Are you serious, Clan Leader?”   ”Nearly!”   Yuan Zhao nodded.   ”Rumor has it that the Celestial Demon Saint is actually a human. Furthermore, after achieving the Immortal Emperor realm hundreds of thousands of years ago, his power was formidable.   Not long ago, in the battle in the Eastern Abyss Region, he even battled an ancient Semi-Saint.   His strength rivals that of a true Immortal Semi-Saint.   And the Danfeng Peak Master who earlier slew over a dozen Immortal Emperors of the Supreme Divine Sect was no joke. Such strength is undoubtedly beyond the reach of ordinary Immortal Emperors.   If one possessed the strength of a Semi-Saint, achieving this would be a piece of cake!”   With these words,   Yuan Zun gradually calmed down.   He saw nothing wrong with this explanation.   After all, there were too many coincidences between the two.   A moment.

Yuan Zun shook his head and said, “Whether or not that person is the Heavenly Demon Saint Lord is irrelevant now. At the Xuantian Dao Sect’s grand ceremony in a month, I will personally attend on behalf of the Yuan clan!”

“Okay,”

Yuan Zhao nodded.

Yuan Zun was currently the strongest member of the Yuan clan and embodied the entire clan’s reputation.

Furthermore, given the Xuantian Dao Sect’s current status, if the Yuan clan sent any random cultivator to the succession ceremony, they might perceive it as a deliberate insult.

Thus,

sending Yuan Zun clearly demonstrated the Yuan clan’s stance.

While

the ancient Yuan clan was making preparations, many forces from other immortal realms also set out for the Divine Heaven Realm.

Regardless of any connection to the Xuantian Dao Sect or any karmic grudges, they all made a trip to the Divine Heaven Realm. Regardless,

they

would find a way to establish a relationship with the Xuantian Dao Sect.

If there was a grudge,

they would find a way to resolve it.

Offending such a force would serve them no purpose.

More importantly,

there were rumors from the outside world.

Shen Changqing was the Celestial Demon Lord, Shen Hong.

This news made these forces even more cautious.

It was common knowledge

that the Celestial Demon Lord was ruthless, often destroying clans and clans. The number of factions he had indirectly or directly destroyed could be counted on one hand.

The number of cultivators he had slain was even more incalculable.

Therefore, it was crucial to avoid offending such a being if

possible.

Powerful individuals from the Divine Heaven Realm gathered.

Numerous experts from various mid-level immortal realms had entered this realm.

Not only were the native forces of Shenfeng Province, but also those from Yunjin Province and other immortal realms.

After all, even in other immortal realms, such powerful individuals were formidable.

At least,

for those of them, operating in the mid-level immortal realms and lacking the foundation of an Immortal Emperor, they could hardly even begin to compare.

In fact,

let alone lacking the foundation of an Immortal Emperor,

even if they truly possessed one,

their power would have long since surpassed the limits of an Immortal Emperor, reaching another level.

The battle in the Eastern Abyss Region spoke for itself.

…

Xuantian Dao Sect.

Forbidden Land.

Qingmu looked at the man before him, his expression complicated. “Has Sect Master thought it through?”

“Of course I have. Binding that person to the Xuantian Dao Sect through the position of Sect Master is a perfect combination of advantages and disadvantages.

My abilities are limited, and with the sect’s growth, many things are beyond my control.

It just so happens that Master Shen Feng possesses extraordinary talent and unparalleled strength. With him at the helm, it’s only a matter of time before our Xuantian Dao Sect ascends to the status of the Immortal Sect

of Longevity. Even if we perish, we’ll still be able to face our ancestors in the afterlife!”

Yang Daoxu smiled carefreely. To him, the position of Sect Master wasn’t something he couldn’t give up.

These superficial things were nothing compared to the interests of the entire sect.

Qingmu nodded, “Sect Master, there’s some truth in what you say. Who could have imagined that the one at Danfeng was the founder?

“

Qingmu chuckled again, “Come to think of it. The ancestor’s strength back then wasn’t exceptional, and the elixir of immortality is rare, not so easy to find.

Moreover, even if the ancestor had found the elixir, how could he have achieved this in such a short time?

I was so blinded by this before that I overlooked all of this!”

Many things seemed reasonable at the time, but now they’re full of flaws.

The reason:

Xuantian Dao Sect desperately needed a powerful figure who could support the entire sect. Even if this figure seemed out of place in many ways, he instinctively chose to believe her.

Now that the truth was laid before him, many plausible points naturally became illogical.

Qingmu wasn’t the only one who felt this way; Qingxu’s expression was also filled with complexities.

He hadn’t expected

Shen Changqing to be Taixuzi either.

“So, it seems the ancestor must have already fallen!”

Qingxu shook his head.

Ancient immortals have a limited lifespan. Unless they managed to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm or find the elixir of immortality, allowing them to live another life, it’s unlikely they’d survive to this day.

Since Taixuzi is a fake, it’s obvious that the original Taixuzi must have perished long ago.

Upon hearing Qingxu’s words, Qingmu and Yang Daoxu remained calm.

This result

was nothing surprising.

Even a mere ancient immortal with extraordinary abilities couldn’t possibly have survived to this point. (End of Chapter)
