Capítulo 1263: Chapter 686: Success and Retirent
Just as Zhao Sheng accepted a new disciple and set off with his three apprentices on the road back to the Jinlan Spiritual Domain.
In the center of Lanhai, at the Beihai Daoist School, billions of miles away.
On the main peak of North Sea, surrounded by a thousand other peaks, a fire cloud lingered endlessly, mysterious rays of light shining through the clouds, dyeing half the sky red.
Large, fluffy snowflakes gently drifted down from the sky, the Taoist Academy was already wearing a cloak of white, snow-covered peaks, but for so unknown reason, the snowflakes lted into vapor before reaching the top of North Sea Peak, clouds and mist boiling and surging, shrouding the spirit peak.
This made the peak look like a piece of earthly Immortal Realm.
At this mont, deep in the mist on the mountain top, suddenly ca a roar like that of both a tiger and a lion.
Roar!
The roar shook the sky, and countless flas fell from the clouds, instantly burning the entire mountain of mist.
Fiery light flowed across the sky, extre heat forcing all the people on the mountain to scramble down the peak, retreating dozens of miles away.
With North Sea Peak as the center, the ground’s accumulated snow lted into a large amount of steam, quickly ascending to the high sky, and the air within dozens of miles was filled with scorching Fire Qi, like a giant stear.
As the snow fell heavily, the roars of the beast beca more and more ferocious, and around the surrounding peaks, spirit beasts and immortal birds were frightened and fled outward in flocks, wailing and crying incessantly on their way.
But just as the roar beca more intense, a group of Nascent Soul Cultivators stood quietly on the peak of a mountain.
Everyone looked at North Sea Peak with awe, and streams of Divine Thought intertwined into a river among them.
“Vice Master Dai, when will the Dean return? We can hardly hold on any longer.”
“Dai Yiping, it’s said that those who recognize the tis are wise. The Ancestor of my family has already received the Immortal Sect’s decree, and was ordered to take over the position of Dean. Why do you keep making excuses ti and again, do you think the forr Dean dared to defy the Immortal Sect’s decree?”
“Brother Dai, what should we do! The Chen Family is the overlord of this domain, and the new Dean… is the biological son of that person… We are just gravel, how can we compare to the preciousness of pearls and jade. It’s not a solution to resist like this. Do you think we might take a step back temporarily, hand over the position for now, and then make a long-term plan…”
Compared to the anxious and wavering Daoist Qing Nian, Fudai Mountain Man Dai Yiping was undoubtedly firm in his stance, unwavering in his support for the forr Dean from beginning to end.
He insisted that until the forr Dean handed over the Dean’s seal, the new Dean’s succession ceremony was completely out of order.
The forr Dean was just missing, not unexpectedly fallen, and so the “rules” of the Taoist Academy must not be broken.
No matter how the people around hinted, persuaded, or tempted, Dai Yiping never changed his position, nor did he hand over the “General Account” of the Taoist Academy.
Just as the heavy snow gradually ceased, the glow on North Sea Peak was suddenly withdrawn, and the imnse roar also stopped imdiately.
Swoosh!
A cold wind blew through, and the world beca cold and quiet, the crimson glow slowly dissipated.
In front of the great hall at the top of the peak, an old man in a red robe stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the three thousand miles of beautiful land around him.
His aura was like fire, his gaze like ice. His expression seed always unaffected by joy or sorrow, quietly standing there, like a stone man.
Not far behind him, a burly giant man with a head full of mane-like hair, a wide mouth and big ears, sat on the ground with a lazy expression, occasionally nodding off.
“Chen’er, the removal of the old Dean’s outdated rules has always been your responsibility, but why are you never attentive? The old man needs an explanation.”
The old man in the red robe stood with his hands behind him, his robe moving with the wind, his voice calm yet giving a sense of apprehension.
“Old man, is it you who is the Dean, or am I the Dean? I’m not even anxious, why are you worrying so much! Besides, let remind you. That one is a direct disciple of the Yan Ancestor. While our Chen Family is a local tyrant, we cannot suppress a dragon that has just crossed the river!” The lion-haired man scratched the back of his head and said carelessly, as if he hadn’t heard the dissatisfaction in his father’s voice, still maintaining a lazy and unruly deanor.
“Hmph, do you know that one still holds two Inner Mountain Gate slots. The next hundred-year academy competition is fast approaching. Now the Beihai Daoist School is full of talent, geniuses abound, it’s not impossible to replicate last ti’s glory, at least we could seize one or two slots.
Adding before and after, at least three or four Inner Mountain Gate slots. Do you realize how valuable this ‘opportunity’ is? Do you know how important this is to our Chen Family?”
“Hehe, so what if I know? And what if I don’t know? rely to live a few more years, a bunch of the old undeads at ho dare to snatch chestnuts from the fire, taking food from the dragon’s mouth, truly not knowing life from death. If not for the old Ancestor shutting himself in a death seclusion, I would at least complain face to face.”
“Brat, do you still know that the old Ancestor is in death seclusion! Do you not know what death seclusion ans?! If by any chance the old Ancestor… has an accident, the family must have a Returning Void Venerable to hold up the house.
The Inner Mountain Gate is the manifestation place of Longevity Heaven and Taoist Law. If our Chen Family can have a few more Divinity Transformation True Monarchs enter it, the chances of producing a Returning Void in the future will greatly increase. Do you not understand such a simple principle, Chen’er?!”
“Alright, alright, I admit I can’t win against you! I’ve heard these grandstanding words since I was a child until I’m sick of them. Old man, don’t you just want to get a slot. Why say those nonsense!
Still thinking of breaking through to Returning to Void? I think you’re all delusional. It would be better to hope that the old Ancestor, with infinite rit, successfully opens up a Grotto Heaven.”
