A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

We're all from the main peak, and you're the strongest, qualified to be the leader of the Tai Xuan Sect. But what if I become stronger than you in the future? Would you have to acknowledge me as your leader?

Fortunately, Lin Xiu really didn't have that intention.

"Esteemed peak masters and elders, I think you have misunderstood."

"I simply agree with Tai Xuan's philosophy of spreading the teachings widely, and I have also learned the techniques of all the main peaks of Tai Xuan. I intend to establish a friendly cooperative relationship with you all."

"I imagine none of you know my location in the Tianxuan Holy Land, do you?"

“I am neither the Holy Son of Tianxuan Holy Land nor the Holy Lord of Tianxuan Holy Land... but the Supreme Holy Lord of Tianxuan Holy Land.”

"Although the Supreme Holy Lord has a high degree of authority over matters concerning the Holy Land, the Holy Land's daily operations are still the responsibility of the Holy Lord, and the Holy Lord's successor in the future will only be the Holy Son."

"I think this relationship is quite good, and I plan to transplant it to the Tai Xuan Sect. I wonder what everyone's opinion is?"

........

Lin Xiu's words elicited varying reactions from the elders and peak masters of Tai Xuan.

"Ah? You're not the Holy Son of Tianxuan?"

"Supreme Holy Lord? ...Hmm~ This position seems quite good!"

“Indeed, Lord Lin needs to cultivate regularly, so it’s best to leave the affairs of the various peaks to the Sect Leader Tai Xuan.”

"Hmm! I think so too! Tai Xuan! Tian Xuan! The pronunciations are so similar, don't you all think this is Heaven's hint that Tai Xuan should act like the Tian Xuan Holy Land?"

The leader of the Tai Xuan Sect: "......."

The leader of the Tai Xuan Sect remained silent, only letting out a quiet sigh.

These people are really shameless!

However, he also admitted that doing so was reasonable given the current situation. If it weren't for his inappropriate status, he felt he would also be one of the elders cheering him on.

........

Just then, a crack suddenly appeared in the void.

The old madman took a step and reappeared in the valley.

He looked at Lin Xiu with a burning gaze, no longer showing any confusion.

"Supreme Holy Lord, Junior Brother Wei Yi has already explained the specifics to me."

The old madman's voice was calm, yet carried an unprecedented firmness:

"From this day forward, I will do everything in my power to climb upwards and attain enlightenment as soon as possible."

"If possible, I plan to personally go to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land after I attain enlightenment and bring my senior sister back!"

The Old Madman's talent is actually the strongest among the Three Heroes of Tianxuan. Unlike Wei Yi, who is almost at the end of his rope, the Old Madman truly has the ambition to prove himself!

As for the old madman's current cultivation level being lower than Wei Yi's? ...Ahem, that's because he wasted some cultivation time on worldly trials! Ahem!

.......

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiu's face lit up with a bright smile.

"If the old madman has such aspirations, I, the junior, will certainly do my utmost to assist him."

As he spoke, Lin Xiu raised his hand and waved it, and a three-legged cauldron appeared in the air.

The ancient-style tripod is engraved with all aspects of the mortal world and the myriad forms of life, exuding a strong aura of aspiration and karma.

"This is a great cauldron for the human world. It can draw upon the power of one's vows and karma in the mortal world to temper oneself, accelerate one's understanding of the mortal world, and open up one's path to enlightenment."

"Senior's transformation is not yet complete. You may enter the cauldron to continue your refinement. When you are successful, I will plan your future accordingly."

The old madman: "......."

The old madman remained silent.

Because he felt that Lin Xiu's combo was just too smooth.

Lin Xiu... most likely thought everything through from the beginning and calculated what decision he would make.

The younger generation... they are truly formidable!

The old madman recalled Wei Yi's evaluation of Lin Xiu, and a faint smile actually appeared on his aged face.

In any case, the old madman had no objection to the fact that Lin Xiu was very strong.

Even if Lin Xiuqiang fails to attain enlightenment in the future, Lin Xiuqiang can still ask him to return to the Ancient Holy Land after he achieves the Great Perfection of the Holy Body, thus settling his important matter.

In the end, the old madman didn't say anything, but just gave Lin Xiu a deep look:

"Good, Your Majesty is very kind."

Having said that, the old madman flashed and flew into the mortal cauldron.

"Om~"

The cauldron trembled slightly, and the Dao patterns on its body lit up. It began to slowly rotate, using the power of will and karma to refine the person inside.

Chapter 170 Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends, Great Completion of the Sound Dao

All the Tai Xuan elders and peak masters heard the old madman address Lin Xiu as "Supreme Holy Lord".

The old madman's words not only confirmed his relationship with Lin Xiu, but also confirmed what Lin Xiu had just said.

Lin Xiu... is really not the Holy Son of Tianxuan! Nor is he the Holy Lord of Tianxuan!

......

So, after the old madman entered the Great Cauldron of Humanity...

"Pfft!"

An elder suddenly knelt down and shouted:

"This old man is willing to acknowledge Lord Lin as the Supreme Lord of the Tai Xuan Sect. From now on, whenever the Supreme Lord issues an order, this old man will not hesitate to obey!"

"I'd love to!"

"Me too!"

"Please, Supreme Holy Lord, take charge of the Great Mystery!"

"Tai Xuan"

In an instant, apart from the sect leader of Tai Xuan Sect, most of the other elders knelt down.

The rest also bowed respectfully.

The sect leader of Tai Xuan Sect sighed deeply as he watched this scene unfold, knowing he was powerless to change the situation.

Finally, he straightened his robes and bowed deeply to Lin Xiu:

"The 127th generation leader of the Tai Xuan Sect pays respects to the Supreme Holy Lord."

"The Tai Xuan Sect welcomes the Supreme Holy Lord to enter and guide us, and together with the Tai Xuan Peaks, we will carry forward the legacy of our ancestors."

.......

The outcome is decided.

Lin Xiu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the Tai Xuan high-level building in front of him, and smiled with satisfaction.

The Tai Xuan Sect is indeed helpful in resolving the situation where "he does not have suitable core forces under his command".

Although Tianxuan is strong, its strength lies more with the older generation and the new generation.

But, as mentioned before, Lin Xiu can't possibly let Wei Yi or the old madman handle everything, right? As for Ye Fan and Weiwei and the other younger generation... well, they can handle the younger generation's minor problems, but when it comes to the older generation, Lin Xiu still has to step in personally.

After "giving the Ten Thousand Year Insurer to solve the problems of the Azure Lotus lineage on his own", Lin Xiu... has evolved once again!

It's much more satisfying to have someone else do the work than to do it yourself!

So... where can I find such a good outsourcing agency?

Lin Xiu felt that... among so many outsourcing agencies, Tai Xuan Sect was definitely the most suitable.

First of all, Lin Xiu really liked the philosophy behind the founding of the Tai Xuan Sect.

Secondly, the sect's philosophy dictates that Tai Xuan Sect is more loosely organized than traditional sects, making it easier to seize power.

Then, the Tai Xuan Sect is quite strong, but not by much. It can't compare to the powerful clans, but it's much stronger than those small sects. It can meet Lin Xiu's needs, but it's not completely untouchable.

Finally, the 108 main peaks of the Tai Xuan Sect are simply too perfect for Lin Xiu's ancient mountain-shaped talisman and Daoist space! How could he not take them?

........

Seeing Tai Xuan bow in submission, Lin Xiu finally smiled brightly:

"Sect Leader, Peak Masters and Elders, it is an honor to work with you all."

"From now on, we will inherit the great path of our ancestors together and bring the Tai Xuan sect to its peak."

"What you all don't know is that... I have long been a Tai Xuan person!"

The elders of Tai Xuan: "......."

They already thought they were shameless enough, but they never expected that Lin Xiu's skin was even thicker than theirs!

They've been Tai Xuan people for a long time... They must have been planning to take over all 108 main peaks of Tai Xuan, right? Otherwise, why would they have waited until today to take them all away in one go?

However, although everyone had a lot of complaints, no one actually meant to complain.

After all... regardless of the imperial weapon, Lin Xiu's talent, or Lin Xiu's personality... just because Lin Xiu was able to take away all 108 peaks of Tai Xuan, they completely recognized Lin Xiu!

"The Supreme Holy Lord is of lofty righteousness!"

The leader of the Tai Xuan Sect bowed slightly, setting the final tone for this friendly cooperation.

"The Supreme Holy Lord is of the highest righteousness! The Sect Leader is of the highest righteousness!"

Seeing the sect leader's attitude, the other Tai Xuan elders and peak masters breathed a sigh of relief and began to flatter him without restraint.

.......

Not far away, Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue were dumbfounded.

"This...this means they've taken over the mountain ranges of all 108 peaks of the Tai Xuan Sect?" Ye Fan's lips twitched.

What's so great about stealing cultivation techniques and resources? This guy just moved someone's entire mountain!

The key point is that the high-ranking members of the Tai Xuan Sect knelt on the ground, addressing him as "Supreme Holy Lord".
