August 27, Da Xia Pear Garden Sect Master Peak·Central Hall was bustling and celebratory.
Just three days ago, Sect Master Xie, who went out to gather Holy Spirit Energy, finally led his team back to the mountain.
Upon this return, the Sect Master brought back a mysterious youth, who has been living in the Sect Master Xie’s residence for the past three days.
According to the Sect Master’s confidant, Sect Master Xie greatly admires this young man and seems to want to accept him as a direct disciple.
Today is the day of the eting set by Sect Master Xie himself after returning to the mountain.
Presumably, Sect Master Xie will likely announce this news?
The disciples of the Pear Garden Sect, whether genuinely or pretentiously, mostly wore cheerful expressions as they ca to the main peak for the eting.
"That kid is really lucky to be noticed by Sect Master Xie."
"Yeah! When I entered the Spirit Mountain years ago, I went through a lot of hardship! This kid cos and imdiately finds a big tree to lean on, truly fortunate..."
"You’re not that lucky! Didn’t you see how handso that young man is?"
"No matter how handso, can he be as handso as Wu’s Counsel? Now that’s real beauty! When I first saw him, I couldn’t even distinguish the gender..."
"Stop talking, the Sect Master is here."
Suddenly, there was a mont of silence inside the main hall on the peak, followed by a wave of greetings.
"Sect Master Xie!"
"Welco back, Sect Master Xie!"
In the midst of a chorus, a tall and slender long-faced man in a white robe smiled and nodded to the crowd on both sides.
Sect Master Xie usually does not smile, but now his amiable deanor amazed the crowd, leading to more complints.
Behind Sect Master Xie, a handso youth followed.
Judging by his age, he was just in his early twenties, sowhat fresh-faced.
Anyone could see that this youth was trying hard to remain calm!
Facing many Sea Realm elders and hall masters in the hall, the youth’s steps were slightly chaotic, and everyone present could sense that this youth was likely at the high rank or peak of the River Realm.
In front of Sea Realm Great Powers, a person from the River Realm is like an ant, but the youth’s greatest advantage was his youth!
Being barely twenty and already at the high rank or peak of the River Realm, what kind of talent is this?
His future achievents are surely limitless!
Suddenly, Xie Wusheng stopped his steps, looking at the man beside him: "Wu Hall Master, are you accustod to staying in the sect?"
Wu Xiao remained expressionless, slightly lowered his head, and saluted: "Accustod."
"Good, upon returning ho, focus on cultivation, strive to break through to the Heavenly Realm soon, and reunite with the old Sect Master in the Heavenly Realm." Xie Wusheng appeared humble and encouraging, releasing goodwill with his words.
"Yes," Wu Xiao responded solemnly.
Xie Wusheng walked into the depths of the hall, keeping his amiable deanor unchanged, but a trace of apprehension rose in his heart.
In the Pear Garden Sect, there are not many people who can make the Sect Master himself apprehensive.
Between the Sea Realm Fourth Rank and the Sea Realm Fifth Rank, it seems like only a small rank difference, but the gap is considerable!
For a First-class God disciple, reaching the Jianghai already counts as fulfilling their talent.
Among those who can reach the Peak of the Sea Realm, there are only four in the Pear Garden Sect.
Sect Master Xie Wusheng, Pear Garden Sect elder Cai You, Tiangang Hall Master Wu Xiao, and Liuyun Hall Master Wei Yun.
Elder Cai and Wei Yun are rather compliant individuals.
However, Wu Xiao just returned to the sect not long ago and directly challenged the previous Tiangang Hall Master, killing decisively and cleanly!
This made Xie Wusheng have so thoughts...
"Phew~"
Xie Wusheng flicked his wide white robe, sitting on the large throne, his gaze sweeping across the people below.
All the Sea Realm Great Powers below looked respectful, which pleased Xie Wusheng.
The handso youth stood properly behind the throne.
"Everyone, take your seats." Xie Wusheng looked at the four elders and eighteen hall masters distributed on both sides below.
Counting Xie Wusheng himself, there were a total of 23 Yangyang Sea beings.
In fact, the disciples of a First-class God sect generally have high talent and potential and should surpass these strong individuals.
However, before the previous Sect Master ascended, he expressly issued orders to strictly adhere to the sect principles.
For instance, "Strength is esteed, the capable should occupy the position."
And for example, "The sect structure must not change," and so forth.
The Sect Master Xie Wusheng had succeeded to the position and could manage the sect according to his will, but the old Sect Master’s prestige was overwhelming, with many loyal followers within the sect.
Xie Wusheng had always maintained a fervent follower status, allowing him to ascend to the position.
Thus, he was not able to change the "ancestral instructions," which led to the continuation of a series of sect principles to this day.
In the Pear Garden Sect, each position was fixed and could not be increased or decreased.
Whenever soone wanted to advance, challenging hall master or vice hall master positions, casualties would appear.
While soone like the previous Hall Master Wencheng, although having ascended to the Sea Realm, but being unambitious, also exists.
But alas, the tree wishes to be still, yet the wind does not stop!
Wencheng did not want strife, but the hall master of his hall proactively approached him.
Who would tolerate a Sea Realm Great Power in their hall, cultivating day and night, poised to strike?
Therefore, in recent years, the number of Sea Realm individuals in the Pear Garden Sect fluctuated around 25.
According to the previous Sect Master, only in this way can the Pear Garden Sect maintain its vigor and encourage everyone to continuously improve and explore, soaring to the Heavenly Realm.
"In my recent outing, I encountered a young junior of our sect," said Xie Wusheng as he slightly turned his head, glancing back.
The handso youth took a step forward and saluted the people below: "Junior Lin Koutian, greetings to all seniors!"
Having the introduction from the Sect Master himself, everyone gave face and respectfully returned the salute.
Xie Wusheng nodded in satisfaction: "This boy has excellent natural talent, reaching River Realm Peak at a young age, and has both wisdom and bravery, resembling my own youthful persona.
I feel a certain affinity with Koutian.
Today, in the witness of all, I will adopt Koutian as my son."
For a mont, everyone was a bit surprised.
They initially thought he would be accepted as a direct disciple, but it turned out to be an adopted son?
"It’s a good thing, a good thing!" In the stringent hall, an elder seated towards the front on the left side stood up smiling, "With a talented youth like Koutian receiving care and guidance from the Sect Master, his future must be boundless!"
Instantly, everyone echoed the sentint.
"Elder Cai is right!"
"Congratulations to Sect Master Xie..."
Xie Wusheng had a slight smile on his face, looking at the youth’s tall figure.
Just as Lin Koutian turned to look, he promptly moved a few steps sideways and knelt facing Xie Wusheng: "Child, I greet my adoptive father!"
Upon hearing these words, Lin Koutian respectfully kowtowed.
"Good! Good!" Xie Wusheng, seeing Lin Koutian kowtow to him, smiled even more.
This na, it’s truly well chosen!
Koutian!
Rightfully so!
"Congratulations to Sect Master Xie for adopting a son!"
"Congratulations to Sect Master Xie..." Amidst these congratulatory voices, Lin Koutian’s heart was filled with imnse joy.
Even though he had only been at Holy Spirit Mountain for half a month and only at Pear Garden Sect for three days, he had already seen much "of the world."
In the Human World, there are the laws of Da Xia to govern, with morality and other constraints.
But within this Holy Spirit Mountain...
The Weak God disciples of Pear Garden Sect, worse than pigs and dogs, are the most real answer.
Now that he was the adopted son of the Sect Master, wasn’t it like having the wind when asking for wind, and rain when asking for rain?
"Today is a day of great joy!" Xie Wusheng said, "Soone, start the feast!"
For a Great Power of Jianghai, the notions of eating and drinking don’t exist.
The so-called feast, naturally, has no correct ti point.
And amidst the congratulatory voices, a high-pitched and powerful voice stood out suddenly: "Sect Master Xie!"
The hall imdiately fell silent.
Because this tone was out of place with the joyous atmosphere.
Xie Wusheng frowned slightly, looking over.
Upon seeing it was Hall Master Wu Xiao of Tiangang Hall speaking, Xie Wusheng had a sinking feeling with an ominous foreboding.
This outing, Xie Wusheng wasn’t just collecting Holy Spirit Energy.
But advancing further south, personally set sail, and reached the island of the Ashan Sect.
Xie Wusheng outwardly showed amiability and encouragent to Wu Xiao, but ever since Wu Xiao’s strong takeover as Hall Master of Tiangang Hall, Sect Master Xie had been scheming in his heart.
This person must be eliminated!
But it can’t be done openly; it requires a thodical approach.
The Ashan Sect occupying the large island in the South Sea was a very good "thodical approach"!
However, before he could assign a task to Wu Xiao, he was already making a move?
"What? Does Hall Master Wu have any objections to Sect Master Xie adopting this son?" Xie Wusheng asked in a deep voice.
For a mont, everyone looked toward Wu Xiao, many with unfriendly expressions.
Wu Xiao stepped forward, clasping his fists in salute: "Sect Master Xie, I adhere to the sect’s principles, seeking advancent with a single-minded pursuit, all driven by my Dao Heart, striving to climb higher!
Today, I wish to challenge the Sect Master, hoping Sect Master Xie will accept the duel!"
In an instant, everyone in the hall was bewildered.
"Damn?"
"Challenge the Sect... ah? Challenge... ah?"
"This..."
Xie Wusheng’s heart sank instantly.
Damn it!
This person indeed has a wolfish ambition!
The hall gradually turned silent again as everyone looked back at Sect Master Xie.
Xie Wusheng cursed in his heart, but outwardly maintained the dignity of a sect master, showing no fear, only displeasure, as he glanced at the child kowtowing at his feet.
"Respected elder!" Lin Koutian understood the situation, standing up as a shield, "It is a day of great joy for my adopted father to take as a son, how about..."
Wu Xiao interrupted sternly: "Upon hearing Sect Master’s return to the mountain and preparations for a disciple ceremony, Wu Xiao has been waiting for three days, now that the ceremony is complete, it is ti to challenge."
"Hall Master Wu, how dare you challenge the Sect Master."
"It doesn’t have to be today, looking for trouble on purpose?"
"Dare to challenge the Sect Master... you..."
"I accept!" Xie Wusheng suddenly announced, the hall fell silent.
His imposing manner was awe-inspiring, looking down at Wu Xiao below with a cold voice: "Seven days later, at the Martial Arts Arena at the main peak, I will spar with Hall Master Wu."
"Sect Master is magnanimous!"
"Indeed, it is Sect Master Xie, with courage and magnanimity..."
"Hall Master Wu is too arrogant, indeed needs to see the sky above and earth below!"
"Sect Master Xie!" Wu Xiao said solemnly, "Wu Xiao also wishes to be promoted to the Heavenly Realm as soon as possible, and et the forr Sect Master in the Heavenly Realm.
Wu Xiao has been waiting for three days, driven by his Dao Heart, can’t wait any longer. I hope Sect Master Xie fulfills this wish!"
Xie Wusheng’s expression turned gloomy.
At the side, Elder Cai, unhappy at heart, shouted: "Hall Master Wu! Sect Master Xie has a broad mind, does not punish you, and even accepted your challenge!
Just go back and prepare for the battle, why are you making a scene here?"
Wu Xiao turned his head, expressionless, looking at Elder Cai: "If Sect Master Xie doesn’t dare to accept the challenge, today, Wu Xiao challenging Elder Cai will do as well."
Elder Cai’s eyes widened slightly!
The hall was incomparably quiet, a pin-drop silence could be heard!
This Wu Xiao... is he a mad dog?
Does he hit whoever stops him?
Damn!
Elder Cai is the great elder of the Pear Garden Sect, one of the few at the Sea Realm Peak, his strength is no less than Sect Master Xie’s!
Even the Divine Weapon and Magic Artifact is complete!
This... this this?
"Bold Wu Xiao! How presumptuous!" Elder Cai stood up, shouting sternly, "What do you take this place for?"
"This is the Pear Garden Sect," Wu Xiao still expressionless, "Sect rules: Strength is honored, the capable rise!
The position of elder is above that of the hall master.
Since Sect Master Xie doesn’t dare to accept, and Elder Cai is eager to protect the master, then Elder Cai... you co!"
Elder Cai: !!!
