Infinite Fighting

Zhang Ji, acting as the sect leader, sent a message from Jingchu Peak to the peak masters of all the main peaks, summoning them to discuss future sect affairs.

The sect leader's order was indeed effective; not long after, the peak masters of the nine main peaks arrived.

At this point, they all assumed that Chen Hong had something important to discuss.

But when they arrived, they were met with Zhang Ji sitting in the main seat.

Doubts and confusion lingered in his mind, but Zhang Ji did not rush to explain. Instead, he waited until everyone had arrived before beginning to recount the reason.

"I'm sure you've all gotten to know me by now. I am Zhang Ji, the newly appointed deputy peak master of Jingchu Peak. I'm currently in charge of overseeing the construction of the Guixu Divine Ship. Due to an unexpected accident, Sect Master Chen Hong has passed away and entrusted me with the [Crimson Heaven Treasure Bottle] and the [Qingcang Pearl]. I'm temporarily assuming the position of sect master and leading Qingcang forward. Therefore, I've summoned you all here to inform you of this matter and to reorganize the sect's affairs going forward."

After hearing Zhang Ji's words, the remaining nine peak masters were stunned.

Ji Ziyan, Guo Huaxiang, and Wang Qianning, who knew Zhang Ji, were all a bit dumbfounded.

They knew Zhang Ji's background better than anyone else.

Not long ago, Zhang Jike was still a disciple in the sect. Unexpectedly, after all this time, he was promoted to sect leader.

This promotion is incredibly fast.

"What? The sect leader has passed away? How could it be so sudden?"

"Zhang Ji, isn't it a bit too hasty to appoint you as the new sect leader? There are too few procedures, no election, just a verbal order for you to convey."

"Yes, isn't this inappropriate? Perhaps we should discuss it further and hold a new election?"

"quiet!"

Zhang Ji uttered two words softly, and a powerful aura burst forth from his body. At the same time, the Crimson Heaven Treasure Bottle and the Azure Sky Pearl appeared on his left and right sides, respectively. He then said, "I was appointed as the leader of the Azure Sky Sect by Chen Hongtianjun. At this critical moment for the survival of the sect, Azure Sky can no longer withstand turmoil. In the cultivation world, strength is paramount. I believe I have some strength. If any of you are not convinced, you may come and ask me."

"You wield a divine weapon and dare to fight us?" Fang Yi, the peak master of Wujue Peak, said with dissatisfaction.

“Of course I don’t need divine weapons.” Zhang Ji looked at Fang Yi and said, “Right here, Peak Master Wujue, if you defeat me, I will give you both of these divine weapons and the Sect Leader’s token.”

"It's a deal," Fang Yi said.

Without saying a word, he prepared to fight Zhang Ji to test whether Zhang Ji's strength was sufficient.

Immediately, Fang Yi unleashed his aura and said to Zhang Ji, "Let's go to Yunxiao for a battle!"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly leaped into the air.

Zhang Ji followed suit.

Many True Immortals had been watching from the sidelines. After the two reached a certain height, Fang Yi suddenly launched an attack on Zhang Ji, pushing his arms forward and manifesting a majestic mountain range in the void, which crashed down directly on Zhang Ji.

This is Wujuefeng's "The Wonderful Method of Pushing Mountains".

To condense a mountain range with Yuan power and divine will and smash it down is a powerful move that overwhelms people with sheer force.

When Fang Yi unleashed it, the mountain range seemed to exist in a tangible form, its mass and kinetic energy were incredibly exaggerated, possessing the power to directly shake the continent.

However, this move was quite ineffective against Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji simply extended his palm, and in the next instant, spacetime contracted, and the entire mountain and Fang Yi were grasped by Zhang Ji, as if he had caught a small pebble. Zhang Ji's entire arm did not tremble at all.

With a slight exertion of force, the mountain range shattered and vanished. Fang Yi was casually tossed by Zhang Ji towards the direction of the sect.

When Fang Yi landed back at the sect, Zhang Ji also returned.

One move and the winner is decided.

The methods employed by the two sides were on completely different levels.

Zhang Ji's ability to control space was far too powerful.

Fang Yi was considered a strong fighter among the peak masters, but he was unexpectedly defeated in a single move.

No one in Zhang Ji's position could compare to him.

At least in terms of strength, Zhang Ji has proven that he is capable of leading the current Qingcang Sect.

"Does anyone still have any objections?"

After Zhang Ji finished speaking, he paused for a moment. Seeing that there was no reply, he continued, "Now that the sect can no longer withstand turmoil, it is not appropriate to hold another election. I have already accepted the order, so I can only temporarily take charge of Qingcang. If the sect stabilizes in the future, we can formally elect a new sect leader. Does anyone have any objections?"

"No objection from Wujue Peak," Fang Yi said, his face full of resentment.

Fang Yi spoke first, and the other peak masters nodded in agreement.

"Qianjifeng has no objection."

"No objection from Suspended God Peak."

"Zixiao Peak has no objection."

After the peak masters expressed their approval, Zhang Ji began his arrangements.

"I hereby announce two things. First, although the sect is currently constructing the Returning Void Divine Ship, it is still holding back some resources. I intend to gather the entire sect's strength to fully construct the Returning Void Divine Ship. This matter requires the joint mobilization of manpower and resources by all the peak masters."

“Why rush? The extraterrestrial demons may not necessarily invade the Southern Territory. What if they only swallow up the Northern Territory? Wouldn’t we be losing for nothing?” Dong Qin from Liuyun Peak said.

"Do you really want to follow the example of the Heavenly Blade Sect and Flying Absolute Sect in the Northern Territory, which were destroyed? Do you only think of gathering the power of the sect after the sect is destroyed? Now that the extraterrestrial demon is approaching, and it has already launched an attack on us. If you still think it won't come, you should stop dreaming about it!" Zhang Ji retorted directly.

In fact, the other three groups probably had similar wishful thinking, hoping that the Nest Mother would stop advancing after consuming the Northern Territory, and at most add the Middle Territory or something.

They believed that once the nest mother had eaten her fill, she should leave, as the world was so big.

Zhang Ji also had a feeling that the Nest Mother might just resupply and leave, but even if the Nest Mother didn't come, Zhang Ji still needed the Return to the Void Divine Ship.

With this divine ship present, Origin Star will have the potential to truly conduct cosmic-level exploration and development in the future.

This is the only chance to gather the power of the four sects to build the Returning Void Divine Ship. If we miss it, it will be hard to get another chance. Now we need to get the other three sects involved and work together to get the ship built as soon as possible.

That was Zhang Ji's core objective.

However, in Dong Qin's opinion, Zhang Ji was simply too afraid of the extraterrestrial demons. "With a divine weapon in hand and stationed in Qingcang, even though you are billions of miles away, Sect Leader Zhang, you are still so afraid of the extraterrestrial demons?" Dong Qin said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Do you have a problem with Master Dongqin?" Zhang Ji raised an eyebrow, the light of the sect's divine weapon flashing on his left and right sides, and said calmly, "The sect's divine weapon is in my hands. Now I am the sect leader of Qingcang. If you question my judgment, Master Dongqin, please provide a reasonable explanation."

Threat, naked threat.

Let alone having a sect-protecting divine weapon.

Even without the sect's most powerful weapon, Zhang Ji could suppress her with a single move, let alone now.

Even if she had a reasonable explanation, she wouldn't dare to say it.

"Since there are no objections, then so be it." Seeing that no one spoke for the time being, Zhang Ji continued with his second arrangement, saying, "The Qingcang Sect usually relies on each peak master to operate on their own, which is too loose a structure. I plan to promote two more deputy sect leaders to be responsible for jointly arranging and mobilizing the resources of the entire sect. These two will be peak masters Ji Ziyan of Xuanshen Peak and Fang Yi of Wujue Peak."

Ji Ziyan was Zhang Ji's angel investor. Zhang Ji brought him up to create a persona of someone who would repay kindness, so that the other two peak masters who knew his background would be aware of the situation.

As for Fang Yi, although they had a fight on the surface, Zhang Ji disregarded past grievances and still gave him more power, demonstrating his attitude of clearly separating public and private matters.

Of course, this is not meant to be overpraise.

Actually, Fang Yi had sent a telepathic message to Zhang Ji before the fight.

Do you really think a peak master can just jump out like an idiot?
Others might be like that, but Fang Yi is not.

He was originally Chen Hong's confidant. He had received some prior notice of Chen Hong's departure from power and was originally intended to assist Zhang Ji in governing.

He jumped out and made a scene, just to put on a show for the other peak masters and give Zhang Ji a chance to showcase himself.

However, he really didn't expect Zhang Ji's strength to be so heaven-defying. He was still in shock from that palm strike.

This meant that the peak masters were no longer a united front.

They immediately split into several factions.

This is exactly what Zhang Ji wanted to see.

While competence is the core, management is also a skill.

Getting his subordinates to obey him can sometimes be a problem for him.

He can't possibly brainwash everyone, can he?
Fortunately, with enough strength to suppress everything, there's not much else to consider. With a little manipulation, the entire team can be made to operate smoothly according to one's own ideas.

That makes it much easier to manage.

north.

Jingyi's mental world is now reduced to just that one last mansion.

He couldn't hold on any longer.

Beside him, the girl handed him a cup of tea, then quietly leaned on his shoulder.

"Brother Jingyi, you should go," the girl said. "If you die too, no one will remember me anymore. To be forgotten is true death, isn't it?"

"Yes." Jing Yi took a sip of water and nodded with a smile.

"So, you should leave now. No matter how long it takes, we'll meet again," the girl said, embracing him tenderly.

Jingyi didn't say anything, but simply stretched out his arms and pulled her into his embrace.

This was the first time he had made such an intimate gesture since the girl's birth.

But this is also the last time.

The mansion is disappearing, and so is the girl.

Until all of this completely vanished, Jingyi's mental world also completely disappeared.

Along with it, that obsession also disappeared.

Lost, regained, lost again
He has let it go.

He let go of his obsession with life and death.

I don't care so much about having or losing.

Memories that reside in the heart are eternal.

That emotion was thus elevated.

In an instant, he went from young to old.

His black hair turned white, and his long beard fell to his chest.

"You can't hold on any longer," the spirit image of the Nest Mother appeared before Jing Yi and said.

"The rest is their own business," Jing Yi said.

He looked up at the sky and never before had he felt that the world was so vast.

"Boom~!"

The Mirror of Illumination hung in the void, releasing its mysterious light. Countless insects were annihilated outside the enormous body of the Nest Mother. Energy protection appeared on the Nest Mother's body, but it was still like snow melting under the blazing sun, with most of her body burned away.

When everything was over, Jingyi had already left.

However, the mother nest was rather unsettled.

Unexpectedly, Jingyi made further progress while being besieged.

It must have consumed too much energy beforehand; otherwise, it would have chosen to abandon this world on its own with Jing Yi alone.

However, Jingyi has already left, not just this place, but the entire world. Judging from the looks of it, there's no way he'll ever come back.

He won't be able to recover to his peak condition in a short time, and finally, there are no more obstacles in my way!! (End of Chapter)
