Douluo Continent: Rebuilding the Clear Sky Sect

Chapter 32 A Less-than-ideal Plan

The name Tang Chen is a towering figure even in the world of Soul Masters.

Within the Haotian Sect, he was practically a god.

Under his leadership, the Haotian Sect became invincible and earned the reputation of being the number one sect in the world.

Who among the disciples of the Haotian Sect doesn't miss him?

Several elders had personally witnessed Tang Chen's unparalleled prowess.

Their hearts had already been won over.

At this moment, how could they remain calm upon hearing Tang Xiao mention his grandfather?

"That's great! Is Uncle still alive?"

"With him around, what does the Spirit Hall amount to?"

"Now that our Haotian Sect has re-emerged, who can stand against us!"

The elders were all unrestrained and arrogant, looking at Tang Xiao with excited expressions.

Tang Xiao smiled slightly, but a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Of course, he also wanted his grandfather to be safe and sound, to return home safely, to avenge his second brother, and to lead the Haotian Sect to rise again, but...

He glanced at Tang Fei and thought to himself: This is the first time I've ever lied, and it's all for you!

When he looked up again, Tang Xiao's eyes were filled with determination.

He pressed his hand down and said, "Elders, please calm down. My grandfather... he won't be coming back!"

Why?

The elders froze on the spot, their eyes filled with grievance, just like children.

Tang Xiao said, "My grandfather possessed extraordinary strength and went to pursue even higher levels of cultivation, leaving behind only the 'Nine Heavens Celestial Force,' hoping that our Haotian Sect could become self-reliant and strong, and defeat powerful enemies!"

The second elder asked in confusion, "But when did my uncle return? Why didn't I sense his presence?"

"With my grandfather's power, if he didn't want to be discovered, even I couldn't sense his presence. Is the Second Elder so arrogant about his strength?" Tang Xiao's eyes flashed as he looked at him.

The second elder hurriedly lowered his head and repeatedly said he dared not.

Tang Xiao snorted and continued, "When my grandfather came, he only saw Tang Fei and me, and directly passed on the cultivation technique to Tang Fei. Even when I practiced the Nine Heavenly Elephant Force, it was Tang Fei who dictated it to me."

The elders looked shocked and exchanged glances.

Personally transmitted martial arts techniques...

The last one this special was Tang Hao's Great Sumeru Hammer!

"Why did my uncle choose Tang Fei as the only one to pass on his skills? Could he have something in mind...?" the Second Elder murmured.

The Seventh Elder, always outspoken, widened his eyes and asked, "Uncle, you don't mean you're grooming Tang Fei to be your successor, do you?"

"Hmm?" Tang Fei's eyes lit up.

Seventh Elder, you have a good imagination, a very good imagination indeed!

Tang Xiao gave a wry smile. Why would the Seventh Elder think that way?

The current sect leader is me!

Did you not consider my feelings when you said that?

He shook his head and said, "Grandfather didn't say it explicitly, but he said that he thought highly of Tang Fei and that the sect should focus on cultivating him, which is why he personally taught him the Nine Heavens Celestial Phenomenon Force."

After listening attentively, the elders all nodded solemnly.

The Second Elder even offered his seat, waving his hand and saying, "Tang Fei, please take a seat."

"Second Elder, there's no need for that!" Tang Fei hurriedly declined.

The Second Elder shook his head and said firmly, "No! You have received your uncle's approval, so you should take the seat of honor. Moreover, you will be preaching and answering questions, so you are fully qualified."

As he spoke, he turned to face Tang Xiao and solemnly said, "Sect Master, since Tang Fei is the candidate my uncle has chosen, and has made the great contribution of spreading the cultivation technique, then I propose that our Haotian Sect add a seat for an elder. What do you think?"

A glint of light flashed in Tang Xiao's eyes, and he said, "That's exactly what I wanted!"

The other elders also nodded repeatedly.

That's how it was settled!

Tang Fei sat silently in the seat that had once belonged to the Second Elder.

It felt as if ten thousand galloping horses were galloping through his heart, leaving him deeply moved.

As expected, experience matters!

With just a few words, Tang Xiao not only resolved the issue of where the cultivation technique came from, but also instantly elevated his own status to that of an elder.

It can be said that they put a lot of thought into it.

The way the elders looked at him was exactly how they would look at the successor to the position of sect leader.

Tang Xiao coughed lightly and reminded him, "Xiao Fei, since the elders have no questions, let's not delay. Shouldn't you consider starting to teach the techniques?"

"good!"

Tang Fei nodded and, without further ado, began to orally transmit the Celestial Phenomenon Breathing Technique.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Attain utmost emptiness, hold fast to stillness..."

"..."

Soon, all four elders were drawn into a meditative state.

They awkwardly followed Tang Fei's instructions, practicing the Nine Heavens Celestial Energy Breathing Technique.

An hour later, the two major cycles were completed.

They opened their eyes one after another.

The Seventh Elder said doubtfully, "It doesn't seem to have such an exaggerated effect. I feel that my soul power has only caused a slight ripple."

The Second Elder's eyes brightened as he sensed a subtle change in his body. Though faint, it was like injecting a spring into a stagnant pool, bringing hope.

He said, "Fifth and Seventh Brothers, you've just broken through to the Title Douluo level and still have some room for improvement, so you don't know how precious this slight fluctuation of soul power is. Once your soul power stops increasing, you'll know how exciting this is!"

The Third Elder smiled and said, "Let me remind you again, the breathing techniques are most effective in the early morning and at night!"

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder's eyes shone even brighter.

"Although my uncle has passed away, he still cares deeply for the sect and created such a great cultivation technique for us. He truly put in a lot of effort!"

"With the Nine Heavens Celestial Power, even without my uncle, given time, we can accumulate astonishing strength and reopen the mountain gate!"

The elders were greatly encouraged.

Tang Fei, standing nearby, spoke up at the opportune moment: "Sect Master, Elders, I have a suggestion, may I speak?"

"Young man, speak freely! Now that you are an elder of our Haotian Sect, you are certainly qualified to ask any questions you may have about the sect," the Seventh Elder said loudly.

Tang Fei nodded and said, "Alright, my opinion is that although our Haotian Sect is still in a state of closing its gates and accumulating strength, we cannot be completely unaware of the situation outside. We must prepare for our future departure from the mountain."

"You mean..." A strange light flashed in Tang Xiao's eyes.

Tang Fei got straight to the point: "I want to go out into the world and see what it's like, to try my luck."

Tang Xiao shook his head and said, "I disagree. You're too young and only a Great Soul Master. What if something happens to you after you leave the mountain?"

Tang Fei smiled and countered, "Aunt Yuehua isn't even a Soul Master. Isn't she perfectly safe outside?"

"You..." Tang Xiao choked for a moment.

Tang Fei ignored him and continued, "Besides, I'm making preparations for the sect's return to power. I already have a somewhat immature plan..."
