Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

Dao Xuan Zhenren looked at Xiao Yicai kneeling on the ground and said:

“I have never felt that you have embarrassed me. On the contrary, you are respectful to your teachers, meticulous in your work, and tactful in dealing with people. You are a good disciple, but…”

"But as the leader of the Qingyun Sect, these alone are not enough. The most important thing is to have powerful cultivation!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yicai felt a chill in his heart, and a bold idea formed in his mind...

As if confirming Xiao Yicai's thoughts, Dao Xuan Zhenren continued:
"Therefore, you cannot become the next leader of the Qingyun Sect."

"boom!"

Xiao Yicai felt a jolt in his brain, his face turned deathly pale, and he seemed to lose all his energy, kneeling helplessly on the ground.

As the senior disciple of Tongtian Peak and a disciple of the sect leader Dao Xuan Zhenren, he also wanted to know that the ancestral precepts of Qingyun Sect must be inherited by the Tongtian Peak lineage.

Therefore, he has always considered himself the next sect leader, because there is no disciple more outstanding than him on the entire Tongtian Peak.

Even if other peaks have disciples more outstanding than him, the Qingyun ancestral precepts dictate that the sect leader cannot pass them on to the other six peaks. This has been the case since the time of Ancestor Qingye a thousand years ago.

Moreover, Xiao Yicai knew that his master, Dao Xuan Zhenren, was the one who most respected the ancestral teachings and the Qingyun punishments, and had never transgressed them.

Therefore, he was convinced that he was the next leader.

But now, Dao Xuan says he can't be the sect leader. How can he accept that...?

Xiao Yicai looked dejected and asked unwillingly:
"Master, if the position of sect leader is not passed on to me, who will be the next sect leader?"

“Zhang…Xiao…Fan!” Dao Xuan Zhenren said, enunciating each word clearly.

"Impossible!" Xiao Yicai exclaimed.

“Zhang Xiaofan betrayed the Demonic Sect eleven years ago and even joined the Ghost King Sect. According to the Qingyun punishments, he should be executed. Therefore, it is even more impossible for him to become the next leader of Qingyun.”

"Moreover, Zhang Xiaofan is in the Demonic Sect and will not come back."

Dao Xuan Zhenren looked at the unwilling Xiao Yicai, clearly seeing how much he wanted to become the sect leader, but thought that wanting it wasn't enough; one needed strength. So he said:

"Zhang Xiaofan betrayed Qingyun because Cangsong colluded with Shangguan Ce, who was impersonating Changshengtang, to force him to leave Qingyun Sect."

"Even when I used the Zhuxian Sword to kill him, and I was about to be killed by several sect leaders of the Demonic Sect, Zhang Xiaofan saved me without holding a grudge."

"If Zhang Xiaofan hadn't fought the heavily injured Beast God during the day today, neither of us would be standing here alive, and the entire Qingyun Sect would have been destroyed as a result."

"Therefore, although Zhang Xiaofan was in the Demonic Sect, he ultimately grew up in Qingyun and had Qingyun in his heart."

"Moreover, his strength has reached the Taiqing realm, making him the only candidate for the position of sect leader."

"Furthermore, it is precisely because Zhang Xiaofan has been in the Demonic Sect for many years that he understands it better. He is the best candidate to be the sect leader."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yicai retorted unwillingly:
“But Master, even if Zhang Xiaofan is willing to return to Qingyun Sect, his achievements are enough to make up for his betrayal of Qingyun. However, according to Qingyun's ancestral rules, only disciples of the Tongtian Peak lineage can become sect leaders.”

“Zhang Xiaofan is a disciple of Dazhu Peak, and absolutely cannot become the sect leader. Master, you are the one who respects the ancestral teachings the most.”

Dao Xuan Zhenren looked at Xiao Yicai, whose expression was increasingly unwilling and agitated, and said:

“I respect the ancestral teachings the most, but Zhang Xiaofan’s strength has reached the point where he can abandon them.”

"Moreover, only Zhang Xiaofan can lead the Qingyun Sect, which is currently suffering heavy losses, back to its peak, or even stronger."

At this point, Dao Xuan Zhenren looked at Xiao Yicai and said, "If your cultivation were a little stronger, even if you had just entered the Shangqing Realm, I wouldn't have made Zhang Xiaofan the sect leader. Your strength is simply too low."

"For example, Elder Nian, the former leader of the Blood Refining Hall of the Demonic Sect, was also at the peak of the Jade Purity Realm. However, the Blood Refining Hall was destroyed by the Ghost King Sect. Moreover, Elder Nian was stronger than you."

"If you were to become the leader of Qingyun Sect, not to mention the future destruction of Qingyun by the Demonic Sect, your strength alone would not be enough to convince Qi Hao, Master Shuiyue, Tian Buyi, Lu Xueqi, Zeng Shushu, Lin Jingyu, and others to submit to the masses."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yicai was deeply discouraged. He clenched his fists tightly. Strength, strength, he desperately needed strength.

However, strength cannot be conceived simply by thinking about it.

Xiao Yicai thought for a moment, making a final, desperate attempt, and said:
“Master, my cultivation is low, and the other six peaks do not respect me.”

“However, I can abandon the ancestral precepts and implement the unification of the seven lineages, so that from now on there will only be the Tongtian Peak lineage.”

"If Uncle Tian, ​​Uncle Shuiyue, Uncle Zeng, Junior Brother Qi Hao, Junior Brother Chu Yuhong, and Uncle Feiyun are appointed as elders, then they will all obey me as the sect leader!"

"The Qingyun Sect will also be more united than ever before!"

"What?!" Dao Xuan Zhenren was furious upon hearing this, a flash of ferocity in his eyes, and he roared:

"Abandon ancestral teachings?"

"Seven meridians united as one?"

"You haven't even become the sect leader yet, and you already dare to defy the ancestral teachings. If you were made the sect leader, how could that be tolerated?"

After saying that, Dao Xuan Zhenren raised his hand and slapped Xiao Yicai across the face!
"Snapped!"

Although Dao Xuan Zhenren did not use his full strength, he was still at the Taiqing realm. With one slap, he sent Xiao Yicai flying, crashing into the wall of the ancestral hall and slamming heavily to the ground.

Xiao Yicai got up, quickly crawled to Dao Xuan Zhenren's side, and said:
"Master, you were willing to abandon the ancestral precepts for Zhang Xiaofan to become the sect leader, so why can't I abandon the ancestral precepts and unite the seven sects?"

Upon hearing this, Dao Xuan Zhenren angrily pointed at Xiao Yicai and said in a deep voice:

“Zhang Xiaofan has already reached the Taiqing realm, and will at least reach the peak of Taiqing in the future. He cultivates Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism together, and has the supreme artifact Xuanhuo Mirror and the Blood Soul Sword, which are comparable to the Zhuxian Sword. He is enough to abandon his ancestral teachings.”

"Zhang Xiaofan has the ability to abandon ancestral precepts, and it's also to make Qingyun Sect stronger."

"And you? What are you anyway?"

"What right does someone at the peak of Jade Purity have to abandon ancestral precepts? Moreover, you resorted to despicable means to become the sect leader and to gain the obedience of the other six sects."

"Xiao Yicai, Xiao Yicai, is it possible that you've only reached the peak of Jade Purity after more than a hundred years of cultivation because you've spent all your time trying to take shortcuts!"

At this point, Dao Xuan Zhenren stared at Xiao Yicai with a look of disappointment and anger, his eyes flashing with malice, and coldly said:
"Today, I, Dao Xuan, will kill you, you worthless piece of trash!"

Having said that, he raised his large hand.
Just then, Wan Jianyi grabbed Dao Xuan Zhenren's hand and said:

"Don't let it control you."

Upon hearing Wan Jianyi's voice, Dao Xuan Zhenren suddenly woke up and quickly sat cross-legged on the futon, circulating the Taiji Xuanqing Dao to suppress the malevolent energy within his body.

Looking at Dao Xuan Zhenren, who was meditating and circulating his internal energy, Xiao Yicai was filled with terror as he recalled the scene where Dao Xuan Zhenren had just tried to kill him with a single palm strike.

In the midst of fear, the initial excitement and resentment quickly subsided, and he calmed down completely.

He glanced at Dao Xuan Zhenren in fear, then immediately knelt obediently on the spot, kneeling respectfully. (End of Chapter)
