071, the next suzerain (II)
In a sect, if there is a disagreement among the high-level leaders, one person will finally make a decision. This person has to have enough prestige to convince the public, and also to have the ability to propose solutions that are as acceptable to everyone as possible, which is often the role played by the suzerain. Xuanyuan's last proposal can indeed solve the differences of everyone present to the greatest extent, and it can also answer Ba Jun's question.
Originally, there were some sects in Ba Yuan that had already worshiped Chiwangqiu as their upper sect, but after all, it was not the inheritance dojo of the sect, and those sect monks were not disciples of Chiwangqiu. The descendants of Chiwangqiu are all over Bayuan, and in the past, in the name of facilitating exchanges, they set up chief disciples in various countries to govern them.
Now Chiwangqiu has simply officially established a number of sect dojos in various places, as a place for the descendants of Chiwangqiu in the vicinity to communicate and return to the mountain to cultivate, which will not damage the prestige of the past, but also clearly define certain things. This is actually beneficial to the sect of Chiwangqiu and the descendants of all parts of the sect who are attached to the sect.
Everyone didn't raise any objections, and Elder Gale frowned and said, "Although Elder Xuanyuan's proposal is good, this kind of thing is also decided by the sect master, and the sect can officially order it to be implemented. And now that the sect master is still in retreat in the black and white hills, do you need to ask him for advice? If it is inconvenient to disturb his cultivation, we will wait until the sect master is out of the customs to discuss it. β
Of the five elders of Chiwangqiu, three of them were from the Dongbin clan, among which Gale Wind and Zhijie were completely inclined to Xingyao, while the other elder, Yun Cheng, was relatively neutral, and he mostly considered the problem from the perspective of the sect itself. The two elders from the Yilang clan, Zhao Huo and Yi Zhai, tend to support Xuanyuan in many things.
As for the two junior disciples, Fan Chong and Yu and You, they don't have any right to say at present.
If it was Xingyao, who was in charge of the sect's affairs, who put forward Fang Cai's suggestion, Elder Gale would not have said that, but seeing today's occasion, Xuan Yuan seemed to have played the role of the sect master during the sect's deliberations, and Gale Wind brought out the white evil.
Elder Zhaohuo asked Xing Yao, "Can the sect master explain before retreating, when will he return to the sect?" If the sect has something important, can you disturb him?...... If the sect master has explained, do not disturb. Then we should agree here. β
Xingyao said unhurriedly: "Today, I summoned everyone to come here on the order of the sect, and there is another more important matter to discuss, and it will be announced to Ba Yuan in the near future." You don't know yetβthe sect master has already cultivated to become an immortal!"
All the high-ranking people in the audience changed color, which they had not expected in advance. Although many people have long thought that with the cultivation of Bai Sha, they are very promising to step on the path to heaven, but when they really hear the news, they are still shocked and envious. Only Xuanyuan had already been reminded by the tiger baby, so he was quite calm.
Elder Yun Cheng: "When did this happen, why don't we know at all?"
Xingyao: "Then let the Sect Master tell everyone in person." β
He took out a shell-shaped magic weapon, and a white voice came from the spell: "Before going to the Ancient Immortal Cave Mansion on the Black and White Hill." This seat has stepped on the path to heaven and achieved the path of immortals. This time I retreated in the black and white hills, and cultivated the Enlightenment Immortal Family to mysterious, if I go out, I will go out on my own, otherwise I don't have to bother within ten years.
This matter should be announced to Ba Yuan, and Chiwangqiu accepted the congratulations of all the initiates and should agree on the next sect master today. If there are no accidents, Chiwangqiu will be the next sect master in ten years. β
The sect has its own rules since ancient times, and most of them are not decided suddenly. When the previous suzerain is born, it is necessary to determine the choice of the next suzerain. And inherit the secrets of the sect. This is also done in order to prevent the sect master from accidentally dying or missing his whereabouts, which will lead to analysis and marriage discussions within the sect, and also to avoid the severance of many hidden inheritances.
Bai Sha has cultivated into an immortal, so in the eyes of the monks on the Ba Yuan. I'm afraid that it won't take a few years to ascend to the sky, and at this time, of course, it is necessary to determine the next sect master. The only people in Chiwang Hill who are qualified to succeed the sect master are obviously Xuanyuan and Xingyao. Xingyao has been in charge of the sect's affairs for many years, but Xuanyuan's cultivation is higher, and his prestige and influence in Bayuan are also greater.
Bai Sha himself did not designate who would be the next suzerain. Leaving this message is for all the dignitaries present to discuss for themselves.
After the eminent people recovered from the shock, they began to discuss this important matter for the sect. Bai Sha has been in charge of Chiwang Hill for too long. It has been so long that even many people have become accustomed to it, although Xingyao has been in charge of the sect's affairs in recent years, everyone has not regarded him as the sect master in the habit, because the white light covers everything.
Now that he suddenly wants to elect a successor sect master, it obviously exposes the biggest differences within the sect. Gale and Zhijie strongly support Xingyao, and the reason is simple. For so many years, Xingyao has been in charge of the affairs of the sect, and it is natural for him to succeed the sect master.
Zhaohuo and Yizhai of course support Xuanyuan, and the reasons are also very good. Xuanyuan's cultivation is higher, her prestige in Bayuan is also higher, and she is still younger than Xingyao. After all, Chiwangqiu is a sect of cultivation and inheritance, and if the sect master is not cultivated enough to look down on Ba Yuan, it is not in line with the status of the number one sect in any case.
Xingyao has indeed had no merit and hard work over the years, but because of Bai Sha in charge, Chiwangqiu will not encounter any trouble in Bayuan, and he will not be able to show his ability. One day, if Bai Sha soars into the sky, it is difficult to say whether Xingyao can still control the scene, and Xuanyuan will definitely be able to do so, not to mention that the husband of the other family is still Mr. Husha.
Although Xingyao is also ranked as one of the Seven Evils of Ba Yuan, this is somewhat dependent on the prestige of his master Bai Sha and Chiwangqiu. He himself can't even cultivate the transformation realm, and he is probably the lowest cultivator among the Seven Evils of Bayuan, and he is not worthy of the status of the sect master of Chiwangqiu.
The two factions have disputed opinions, while Fan Chong and Yu and You are not easy to interject and express their positions, and Yun Cheng has been silent. In this case, Yun Cheng's attitude was very crucial, and Xing Yao finally asked, "Elder Yun Cheng, what do you think?"
Yun Cheng frowned and said: "The reason why the sect master did not designate a candidate, and only asked me to wait for discussion, is that he knew that there would be differences in the sect, so he took this opportunity to let everyone say everything and explain the reasons for supporting whom, so as not to get entangled afterwards."
For now, I also support Xuanyuan, and the reasons are well known. Today, on behalf of the sect, the sect can be with Wufuqiu Jiansha and Meng Yingqiu's fate, in addition to the sect master, there is indeed only Xuanyuan, and the senior brother of Xingyao still owes a little fire, which is a selfless word.
Since the sect master said that ten years later, the next sect master will be in charge of the sect, it is not a matter of immediacy. In the past ten years, if Senior Brother Xingyao's cultivation can break through the Transformation Realm, I will support Xingyao even more. So I suggest that Senior Brother Xingyao and Senior Sister Xuanyuan are both candidates for the next sect master, and Xuanyuan is ranked before Xingyao. β
Elder Yun Cheng's attitude was impartial, and what he said was also very pertinent, and it was not impossible to determine the candidates for the next two sect masters at the same time. This arrangement was meant to be just in case, under normal circumstances, the first person would be the next suzerain, and if the successor suffered an unexpected accident, then there would be another person to replace him.
Cong Yu, the sect master of the Beast Mountain back then, had actually designated Fu Kui as the next sect master before his death, but he did not pass on the immortal soul imprint that controlled the Xiaoshan seal to Fu Kui, because Fu Kui had not yet achieved great cultivation, and Cong Yu did not leave a inheritance jade proverb, probably he did not expect that he would be suddenly assassinated in the sect's dojo.
And Fu Kui died unexpectedly soon after succeeding as the sect master, and he didn't even have time to designate the next sect master, and the position of the sect master of the beast mountain was taken away by the Shanzha Demon King. Of course, it is necessary to think more carefully about Chiwangqiu's work, and today it is necessary to appoint two people, and Xingyao is Xuanyuan's substitute.
The high-ranking people present also approved the proposal, and the matter was settled. Xuanyuan didn't say anything, compared to who would succeed the sect master of Chiwangqiu ten years later, she was more concerned about other things - how far would the cultivation of the tiger baby go in the past ten years, and when would she go to Bai Sha for revenge?
Listening to Bai Sha's meaning, he seems to be planning to retreat in the black and white mound for ten years, so he should not take the initiative to find the tiger baby for the time being, and Xuanyuan is somewhat relieved.
Determining the candidate for the next sect master is not just a matter of assigning an identity, once the name is determined, it means that from this time on, it is necessary to understand the secrets of the sect lineage, so as to prevent unexpected changes from being caught off guard.
Xingyao stood up and said with a sigh: "Actually, when the sect master went to the Black and White Hill, he had a private conversation with me, and at that time he had already achieved the Immortal Dao. The old man told me that in the future, Xuanyuan would be the most suitable person to take charge of the Chiwangqiu Sect. And today's sect discussion is indeed the result of this.
Shizun also said that although Xuanyuan's cultivation can be proud of Ba Yuan, but after all, it is still difficult to compete with the sword and fate, if it is determined that he is the next sect master of Chiwangqiu, he should concentrate on cultivation in the past ten years. Senior sister, please come with me, you should enter the secret realm today, the sect master is not in the mountain, and the sect affairs in the secret realm will be in charge of you. β
The master does things very simply, and since the discussion is good, he will do it immediately. The location of the portal of the Chiwangqiu Secret Realm and the method of opening it are the secrets of inheritance mastered by the sect masters of the past dynasties, and they deserve this inheritance with Xuanyuan's current identity. Since Bai Sha will only return to the mountain after ten years, then Xuanyuan should also be in charge of the secret realm and the things in it now.
Xuanyuan and Xingyao walked out of the main hall of the sect, climbed to the top of the seventh peak of Chiwang Mountain, and continued to move forward, the northern slope of this peak was a steep mountain wall, and the bare rocks were distributed with red and white stripes, and the color was smooth and lush.
The two of them flew into the air, turned to face this high cliff, and only heard Xingyao sigh: "Shizun trusts me very much, and I know that as long as he explains something, I will obey it to the letter." However, in the eyes of Shizun, I am just a sharp weapon in the world, and no matter how much he trusts me, he will not think that I am stronger than you and more suitable to be the next sect master of Chiwangqiu.
I have no complaints about this, as long as it is his old man's will, I never have the slightest disobedience in my heart. My cultivation is indeed inferior to yours, although I have been in charge of the affairs of the sect for many years, I can't go further after all, and I have been completely recognized by my master. In the past ten years, I will also devote myself to cultivation in order to break through the transformation realm, not to compete with my sister for the position of sect master, but to prove myself to my master and you.
