Chapter 1158 Even a father has to bow and greet his son when he sees him!
The reclusive sect, Xuanming Sect, worships Xuanwu and claims to be descendants of Xuanwu.
The Xuanming Sect is able to produce a type of elixir that is highly sought after by noble families: the Xuan Shui Dan.
With the help of the Xuan Shui Pill, the Xuanming Sect accumulated a great deal of wealth, exchanged it for a large amount of resources, and cultivated a large number of talents, all for the purpose of inheriting the legendary Xuanwu Martial Soul.
Even today, they are still working hard.
Xu Sanshi was regarded by them as the successor of Xuanwu.
The eight core elders and twelve honored guests of the Xuanming Sect, along with the thirty guest elders waiting outside the Inheritance Hall, were quietly awaiting the meeting to begin.
Inside the main hall of inheritance, Xu Yi sat calmly in the position of clan leader.
Xu Yuankong, dressed in a long black and red robe adorned with a Xuanwu (a mythical tortoise) riding the clouds, sat in the main seat.
The outermost circle was occupied by the thirty most outstanding core disciples of the Xuanming Sect in this generation.
The thirty core disciples all wore complex expressions.
The reason for the sudden convening of the Inheritance Hall was that Xu Sanshi, the patriarch's son who explicitly stated that he would give up the position of sect leader and went to Shrek Academy, was actually that Xu Sanshi.
The Inheritance Hall usually convenes once every ten years, and the matters discussed are all of great importance to the sect.
It's easy to imagine what the main hall of inheritance will contain this time.
Could it be that Xu Sanshi wants to come back and inherit the position of sect leader of Xuanming Sect?
Many core disciples secretly cast their gazes at the young man sitting in the first position.
That was Xu Tenghai, the core disciple hailed as the most likely successor to the position of sect leader and the most outstanding core disciple of the Xuanming Sect in this generation.
If it weren't for the sudden emergence of Xu Sanshi, Xu Tenghai would not have been the most outstanding and powerful core disciple of the Xuanming Sect in this generation.
Not only did his martial soul successfully awaken into the Xuanming Shield at the most suitable age, but it was even a perfect awakening. Coupled with his top-notch comprehension, at the age of twenty-seven, he has already become a Soul Douluo and is charging towards the Title Douluo realm.
A solid foundation, an almost instantaneous comprehension, and a perfectly awakened martial spirit.
More importantly, Xu Tenghai's parents died in the line of duty for the sect. He was adopted by Xu Yi and had already begun to serve as an inner sect manager.
By all accounts, Xu Tenghai is the perfect candidate to become the next sect leader.
Those who envied Xu Tenghai, those who had good relations with Xu Tenghai, and the core disciples of the three different factions who followed Xu Tenghai all sensed that a major event was about to unfold.
Xu Tenghai's followers showed indignant expressions, believing that their elder brother had endured so many difficulties and setbacks to reach his current position step by step, while Xu Sanshi was just a nobody. Had he ever contributed anything to the sect?
Xu Tenghai was promoted to the position of Inner Gate Manager by merit, which he earned by sustaining numerous injuries.
It can be said that the whole family has made a huge contribution to the Xuanming Sect.
Some quick-thinking individuals have already begun to consider whether they can profit from this matter.
Compared to the restless core disciples, Xu Tenghai himself remained calm, with his eyelids slightly lowered, eyes focused on his nose and mind, and his posture upright.
It seemed like this matter had nothing to do with him.
The performance of the core disciples naturally did not escape the notice of the eight elders and Xu Yi, who were sitting in high positions.
Xu Yuankong narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze seemingly sweeping over the other elders, or the worshippers sitting in the outer circle, or perhaps staring at the teacup on the table.
Xu Yi coughed once and announced the start of the meeting.
"The meeting held today in the Inheritance Hall has only one purpose: the Xuanming Sect should enter the world of mortals."
As soon as the word was spoken, the seven elders, excluding Xu Yuankong, began to murmur amongst themselves.
The twelve elders exchanged glances before turning their gaze to the eight elders, the leaders of their respective factions.
"Clan leader, may I ask why the Xuanming Sect wants to enter the mortal world?" a rather short and stout elder asked.
"To vindicate the Xuanming Sect." Xu Yi replied succinctly, his eyes burning with suppressed rage.
As a major sect capable of producing pills that enhance the potential of Soul Masters, the Xuanming Sect has always been coveted by the various noble families and sects of Lingdou City.
However, the Xuanming Sect is also a powerful sect with strong combat capabilities. With the gentleness of water and high defense, it can wear you down for a month, and with the ferocity of water and multi-form attacks, it can wipe out your entire sect.
As a result, the Xuanming Sect became a thorn in their side, and they chose to unite to suppress it, which led to the Xuanming Sect's semi-seclusion.
Xu Yi's relationship with Xue Lingxun only fueled the forces' suppression of the Xuanming Sect, and became the catalyst for the sect's true seclusion.
Because Xue Lingxun is a member of the Douling royal family, these forces exaggerated the dangers of the Xuanming Sect and successfully lured most of the Douling royal family onto their side. Using Xue Lingxun as a pretext, they launched an attack on the Xuanming Sect.
As a result, Xu Yi and Xue Lingxun were forced to separate, and the Xuanming Sect announced its seclusion, abandoning nearly two-thirds of its sect's assets. Even the Xuan Shui Pill was restricted.
Although everyone in the sect knew that the matter between Xu Yi and Xue Lingxun was just a pretext, Xu Yi didn't think much of it. He held onto this grudge and one day he would definitely take a piece of his bones from those forces that had fueled the flames back then.
However, perhaps because the Xuanming Sect went into seclusion, it relinquished a large piece of the pie, which temporarily satisfied those forces, and they stopped causing trouble for the Xuanming Sect.
The Xuanming Sect also had some time to develop peacefully and quietly, secretly nurturing the new generation of the sect.
Perhaps the peaceful days had lasted too long, so much so that when Xu Yi brought up the idea of entering the secular world, some elders immediately expressed their unwillingness.
But Xu Yuankong didn't want to get involved in this. The Xuanming Sect didn't get involved in worldly affairs, so how could they openly help their little stone fight?
How can we help Little Stone reach the top of the Great Treasure?
Such a momentous event must be brought into the world to have a legitimate cause and let the entire Douling know that the Xuanming Sect is an ancient orthodox sect!
"You object, but are there any other elders who object?" Xu Yuankong asked calmly.
Although his tone was calm, the other elders could tell that Xu Yuankong addressed him differently.
The elder who had initially expressed his opposition in a tactful manner turned pale.
Xu Yuankong is the guardian deity of the Xuanming Sect.
Although as the Grand Elder, he was responsible for maintaining the dignity of the meeting and ensuring that the results were implemented, and he would not use his power to oppress anyone, if he wanted to cause trouble for anyone present, he would have to go dig for seashells on the East Coast.
Do you dare not go on a sect mission personally assigned by the Grand Elder?
If you dare not go, he will have a reason to throw your position as an elder into the sect's law hall for investigation the next day.
How many of those who become elders don't seek benefits for their descendants?
The remaining six elders then engaged in a quiet discussion.
The latest novel is first published here!
Along with them, the twelve worshippers also began to sway from side to side and whisper among themselves.
The core disciples sitting on the outermost circle glanced at Xu Tenghai much more often.
Xu Tenghai remained calm, as if he didn't care at all about the outcome of the meeting.
"Brother Hai! Brother Hai!?"
One of the core disciples sitting to Xu Tenghai's left lowered his voice as much as possible, his meaning was clear, he wanted to ask Xu Tenghai's opinion.
It wasn't that he didn't want to use his soul power to transmit his voice, but in front of so many worshippers and elders, using his soul power to transmit his voice was like whispering into a speaker—you're a very suspicious kid.
Xu Tenghai's eyes flickered slightly as he glanced at him, but he didn't say anything, his expression remaining calm.
Xu Yi's gaze did fall on Xu Tenghai.
After all, this nominally adopted son was someone he had personally recognized.
He genuinely intended to make Xu Tenghai the next sect leader of the Xuanming Sect. After all, Xu Sanshi's previous performance, while not exactly that of a spoiled brat, wasn't far off. In fact, he had only awakened half of the Xuanming Shield, making his performance truly disappointing.
Now, things have changed. Xu Sanshi has not only awakened the Xuanming Shield, but he can even summon the Xuanwu. This is not just a bloodline reversion, but a true rebirth, standing at the same angle as the first ancestor on the stone tablet in the inheritance hall.
When it comes to sect rules, even Xu Yi, as the father, has to respectfully bow and greet Xu Sanshi.
That's Xuanwu!
Xu Yuankong did not hide or conceal this news, so the seven elders and twelve retainers were all aware of it, and even some core disciples found out about it.
But they were all waiting, and as long as Xu Yuankong or Xu Yi didn't mention it, they would pretend not to know.
Xu Tenghai naturally belonged to the core disciples who had access to intelligence.
However, after learning this information, he locked himself in his seclusion room for a full month to meditate and explore his martial soul.
However, he was unable to communicate with Xuanwu, and could not even sense Xuanwu's aura.
He had wondered why Xuanwu didn't like him but liked Xu Sanshi, since his talent was no worse than Xu Sanshi's, and even much better.
But he could only keep his puzzlement to himself.
In the world of Soul Masters, strength reigns supreme.
Moreover, the Xuanming Grandmaster values the inheritance of martial spirits within his sect.
Does Xu Tenghai want to become the next sect leader of the Xuanming Sect?
Of course I want to; it would be hypocritical to say I don't.
Becoming a sect leader not only means access to resources, but also the ability to choose a suitable partner and raise one's own offspring.
The above is just one of the benefits of the sect leader; there are many more that are difficult to explain.
"Xu Sanshi, how come this kid is so lucky? Why is that?" Xu Tenghai asked himself inwardly.
He was able to become the eldest disciple among the core disciples because he was intelligent and knew that the others were either waiting to see him make a fool of himself or trying to provoke him to take action against Xu Sanshi, making him the tool that was used.
Each thought and idea ultimately turned into a soft sigh, which flew out of Xu Tenghai's mouth.
"I will challenge Xu Sanshi, no matter what." Xu Tenghai slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened them again, his eyes sharp.
Even if he can communicate with Xuanwu, what if he still can't lead the sect to great power?
