1247 The matter of ascending the throne
The Zhong gang sect.
The ocean of clouds was vast and the peaks of the outer sect loomed in the mist. There were people everywhere and from time to time, light would cut through the sky like lightning.
However, there were even more gloomy clouds of Yin corpses.
In the chaotic greenish-black clouds, there were many broken limbs mixed in, carrying the low-level cultivators and floating in the sea of clouds. Looking down from the sky, the cultivators on the yin corpse cloud were like ants, small but full of vitality.
Occasionally, the chirps of the spiritual birds could be heard in the ravine.
The bone feather Yin scale glimpsed in the clouds, stirred the fog, and then disappeared.
A vast golden light swept out from the depths of the sect, dyeing Half the Sky. Within the hidden formation of the 13 branches of the inner sect, the encampments were in all kinds of shapes and sizes. With the ten thousand treasure Pavilion as the center, the aura was sinister and the disciples were bustling about like ants.
As they continued to go deeper, a magnificent palace stood high in the sky, shrouded by clouds and mist.
After passing through the palace and several formations, the scene in front of them suddenly brightened up. It was a boundless forest.
However, after taking a step forward, the Li clan and PEI Ling immediately appeared in a luxurious mansion.
There were carved beams and painted rafters, beautiful flowers and grass all around. There was a blood pool in the southeast corner, from which a fountain of blood gushed out. Skeleton-like fish and shrimp jumped in it. The vines that climbed up the pillars in the flower bed were as thin as silk, emitting a brilliant light. There seemed to be a faint fragrance, which made people dizzy, but it was actually a highly toxic poison.
Under the eaves, the tadpole-shaped iron horses swayed gently with the cold wind, making crisp sounds that made people lose focus.
Li wujiu stopped in the middle of the courtyard, turned around, and ordered,”All of you, step down. I have something to discuss with the Holy Son alone.”
“Yes!” The group of elders saluted.
Li lieyue didn’t say a word and also left with the crowd.
In an instant, only li wujiu and PEI Ling were left in the spacious courtyard.
“Father, actually, Si Hong and I …” PEI Ling explained hesitantly.
Li Wushang shook his head and interrupted,”Even if it’s a man in the secular world, having three wives and four concubines is also a common thing. You’re a divine transformation realm expert, a genius. There’s nothing wrong with this.”
“I am the head of the Li clan. There is no need to waste my breath on such a trivial matter.”
“I’m letting you stay because I have important matters to discuss.”
PEI Ling was slightly startled. Li wujiu did not say this last time …
However, he quickly reacted. It was better that li wujiu didn’t take it to heart!
“What instructions does father have?” PEI Ling asked immediately.
“When you and lieyue were chased by the incarnation of the SU Li Scripture, the sect has already investigated it,” li wujiu said.
the patriarch of ‘netherblood’ has personally given the order to remove su Lijing from his position as sect master. All of his cultivation resources have been confiscated, and he’s to be handed over to you as compensation.
the current sect master of glory sect will be Sihong Qingqian.
“The Holy Sons and holy virgins of this generation can hold the coronation ceremony immediately after they reach the Return To Void stage and take over the position of sect leader.”
I’ve seen you attack just now. Your cultivation base has already reached the Return To Void pinnacle stage, and you’re clearly qualified to be the sect leader.
however, moon Hunter told me just now that you’ve obtained some good fortune and need to immediately go into seclusion to cultivate. It’s not convenient for you to take over the sect master’s position in the short term? ”
“I wonder how long this seclusion will last?”
“When will I be able to take over the position of sect master?”
Hearing this, PEI Ling immediately knew that this should be an excuse that Senior Sister li had found for him …
He thought for a while and then said quickly, ” “Senior Sister is right! I’ve indeed obtained a great fortune this time, and I’ll need quite a bit of time to refine it. ”
“However, I can’t be sure how long it will take.”
“As for taking over the sect master position …”
“I came from a humble background, and I am where I am today all thanks to the Li clan’s cultivation and support.”
especially Senior sister’s kindness to me.
now that Senior Sister is the saintess of the sage sect, you also have the qualifications to be the sect leader.
“Therefore, I want Senior Sister to take over the position of sect master.”
“I’ll be the sect master’s Dao companion.”
Li Wushang frowned.
In all fairness, as li lieyue’s biological father, he did indeed hope that his daughter could take over the position of sect master.
However, in the current situation, the sooner PEI Ling became the sect master, the sooner the Li clan could take control of the sage sect. The longer it dragged on, the greater the Li clan’s losses would be …
“One month,” li Wushang said as he thought of this.
A month?
PEI Ling was slightly stunned and just as he was puzzled, he heard li wujiu continue,”I’ll give you a month to refine this good fortune.”
in a month, there will be an Ascension Hall. As the Saint, you will take over the position of sect master!
“As the current head of the Li clan, I must consider everything for the Li clan!”
you had the potential to become a saint, so I supported you.
“Although lieyue is my biological daughter, she is still at the soul formation stage. She won’t be able to return to the void stage in a short time.”
“Waiting for her to take over the throne is too long!”
“We are descendants of aristocratic families, so we must put our family first.”
“If you really care about the Li clan’s ties, then you will immediately take over the position of sect master in a month’s time!”
At this point, he softened his tone and consoled her, ” if you’re obsessed with cultivation and don’t like worldly affairs, that’s fine.
“The Li clan has many descendants and quite a few talents.”
“All the chores can be arranged on my behalf.”
when the time comes, you only need to hold the title of sect master. The Li clan will take care of everything else. It will definitely not delay your path of Dao.
“It won’t affect you from continuing to cultivate your fortune.”
Hearing this, PEI Ling’s expression did not change. He knew the reason why the Li clan supported him. However, the immortal path he was walking on now could not allow him to become the sect master!
“One year,” he said after a moment of silence.
“The good fortune I’ve acquired is related to the daomerge.”
“One month is too short. It’s not enough for me to attempt the daomerge!”
Li wujiu’s brows furrowed even more. One year was too long!
However, the time required for Dao integration was indeed not short.
One year was already enough for one to become a peerless genius.
Furthermore, to a genius cultivator like PEI Ling, the Dao integration was extremely important and crucial, and could not be taken lightly …
After a moment’s deliberation, li wujiu finally nodded and said,”One year it is then.”
As he spoke, he had an idea and immediately took out a storage bag that was inlaid with gold and treasures. He handed it to PEI Ling and said, ” these are the resources collected from the SU Li Sutra. According to the patriarch’s instructions, they are all yours.
originally, if you had immediately taken over the position of sect master, this old man would have handed it over to you in front of everyone at the sect master’s Ascension ceremony, so as to make you famous.
but now, you can only ascend the throne a year later, so I’ll hand it over to you in advance.
“There are a lot of resources in here. Perhaps you’ll be able to use them when you attempt the Dao integration.”
“Many thanks, father!” PEI Ling said respectfully.
He took the storage bag with both hands, but he didn’t open it to check. Instead, he put it away.
