Chapter 4
: Let the Xuantian Sect be great again!
A thousand machines?
Chu Yuan pondered for a moment and then retrieved the name from his memory.
The original owner did not have a deep impression of Qianji.
To be precise, it has almost no presence.
Except for the moment he was elected as the leader of the Xuantian Sect.
At other times, this master of the Demonic Path almost never appeared before him.
It seems to be because of his own decree.
Otherwise, there would be no reason for Qianji to come looking for him.
To meet or not to meet?
Chu Yuan pondered for a moment.
I think I should meet this mysterious master of the unorthodox path.
Only by intimidating Qianji can I be considered temporarily safe in the Xuantian Sect!
"Enter!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a figure shrouded in a black robe flashed into the room.
"Master of the Deceptive Path, Qianji, pays respects to the Cult Leader!"
Qianji slightly raised his eyes, which were shrouded in black robes.
He came here immediately after leaving Li Tu's Dao Palace.
Although Qianji verbally told Li Tu about the sect leader's thoughts.
But he still wanted to confirm one more time whether the cult leader was really as he thought.
Not simply to become stronger!
If the goal is simply to become stronger, then all those preparations can be abandoned.
As Qianji glanced at Chu Yuan, Chu Yuan was also sizing him up.
[Target: 1,000 machines]
Cultivation level: Mid-stage Tribulation Transcending (?)
[Fate's Trajectory: After understanding the leader's thoughts, for the sake of the Xuantian Sect, he plans to personally communicate with the leader about the future...]
This guy is hiding his true strength!
Chu Yuan was startled.
According to the original owner's memories, Qianji should only have the strength of the initial stage.
How could he have broken through to the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm without anyone noticing?
And there's a question mark after it.
Could it be that it's not just the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm?
Chu Yuan thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."
The original owner of this body was also carefree.
He can calmly cultivate even with so many cunning and scheming subordinates under his command.
Perhaps he believes that as long as he is strong enough, he has nothing to fear...
Chu Yuan wanted to continue watching, but unfortunately, his mental strength was insufficient.
The remaining text could not be seen.
Perhaps becoming a cultivator would allow one to see further.
"Qianji, what brings you here?"
Chu Yuan withdrew his gaze, lightly tapping the armrest with his fingertips, and asked casually.
"Master, I would like to know the reason behind your decree?"
Upon hearing this, Qianji showed a look of doubt.
Still putting on airs for yourself!
Chu Yuan's lips twitched slightly.
Doesn't this guy already know that he wants the three factions to check and balance each other?
He still acted as if he didn't understand.
Chu Yuan looked at him with a half-smile:
"You really don't know?"
Qianji raised his head, his tone puzzled:
"I have failed the leader's trust. This subordinate is foolish and truly does not understand why the leader would issue such a decree. This subordinate dares to guess that it might be to streamline the affairs of the sect?"
Sure enough, that's what you were asking!
Chu Yuan had already guessed what Qianji wanted to say.
The key point of this statement is the cult leader!
How could the original leader have issued such a decree?
As a battle maniac, the original owner of this body didn't care about these things related to the sect.
Just don't let it interfere with your own cultivation.
However, the decree he issued was different from the original owner's character.
This was done intentionally by Chu Yuan.
Since their core objective is to survive and develop, they naturally need to establish an unfathomable persona.
The original character was a brainless battle maniac.
What the others feared was the original body's fist.
While fists can inspire fear, there are always those who are not afraid of death.
There are definitely rumors circulating that the cult leader is seriously injured.
Although he had fooled the two lineage leaders with his True Eye of Truth.
But it's true that he has no cultivation whatsoever.
No matter what, I am just a mortal.
These Tribulation Transcending stage cultivators could be crushed to pieces by even a single wave of spiritual energy!
Only by making things unclear to others can they be deterred from taking action.
"Qianji, in your eyes, is this decree of mine merely a simple document outlining the division of power?"
Chu Yuan spoke slowly, leaning forward slightly, his eyes icy:
"Or perhaps, what you really want to ask is... why I've only now placed this piece?"
Upon hearing this, Qianji slowly straightened up, and the feigned confusion on his face faded away like a receding tide.
"Your Excellency is wise."
Qianji's voice also lowered:
"Your subordinate is foolish and truly does not understand. In the past, the leader was devoted to the Great Dao, detached from worldly affairs, and rarely concerned himself with matters within the sect. Your subordinate dares to ask, leader, what is your purpose?"
He stopped beating around the bush.
At this point, further probing is pointless.
What Qianji needs is confirmation.
This is the answer given by the cult leader himself.
Chu Yuan met his gaze, his mind racing.
It's definitely not something to mention about hiding away and cultivating.
But how can I say it in a way that will make Qianji agree?
Don't be fooled by Qianji's outward respect.
But Chu Yuan was certain that if he appeared to be solely focused on pursuing his own interests...
Qianji would absolutely not come.
The original owner of this body was invincible among the demonic sects, but they ignored him.
We need to rephrase it!
The reason why Qianji came to find him now.
It was also because of that decree concerning the Xuantian Sect.
He did it all for the sake of the Xuantian Sect...
Ok? ? ?
Is this cunning and scheming so-called demonic cultivator actually a loyal subject?
Chu Yuan glanced at Qianji with some surprise.
But this way I'll know how to reply.
"A thousand machines,"
Chu Yuan sighed softly:
Do you think the Xuantian Sect today deserves the title of leader of the demonic path?
Qianji was slightly taken aback, not expecting the sect leader to suddenly ask a question.
He hesitated for a moment, then cautiously said:
"Our sect dominates two regions, with millions of followers and countless experts. The righteous path fears us, and the demon race looks at us with disdain. We are naturally worthy of such a title."
"There are countless experts..."
Chu Yuan's tone was indifferent:
"But are these clouds clustered together as storm clouds, or are they scattered, drifting clouds?"
Qianji remained silent, his hands beneath his black robes clenching quietly.
"So, you ask what I am after?"
Chu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back:
"What I intend to achieve..."
"We must completely transform the Xuantian Sect!"
"The goal is to completely break through these three barriers!"
"This title of leader of the demonic path must be truly deserved!"
Chu Yuan whirled around, his gaze sharp as lightning, and looked at Qianji, his voice booming:
"What I want is for the Xuan Tian Sect to—"
"Be Great Again!"
Chu Yuan was not lying.
When was the Xuantian Sect's most glorious moment?
That would naturally be the time for me, the Demon Lord, to sweep across the world!
As long as I recover my peak cultivation level.
Wouldn't that mean the Xuantian Sect has become great again?
Therefore, Chu Yuan calmly met Qianji's gaze.
boom--
Qianji felt a deafening roar in his mind.
He never expected this.
The cult leader's goal is actually so grand!
He could sense that what the cult leader said came from the bottom of his heart.
In Qianji's view, only the period during which the first leader of the Xuantian Sect lived exists.
That's what makes someone great!
That was the peak of the Xuantian Sect.
Its influence extends across five regions, and throughout the world, no one disobeys Xuan Tian's orders!
"Master!"
Qianji could no longer maintain his composure, and his body trembled slightly beneath his black robe.
Isn't this my long-cherished wish?
His choice to lie low was precisely because of his dissatisfaction with the current state of the church.
Qianji understood perfectly.
He was a strategist.
I am not capable of leading the Xuantian Sect out of its predicament.
So I've been waiting.
And now, this person has appeared.
This is the very person standing before us, the cult leader who has endured five hundred years of hardship!
Qianji could sense that the cult leader was sincere.
He was good at seeing through people's hearts, but at this moment the leader's Dao heart did not waver in the slightest, clearly he was truly for the sake of Xuantian Sect!
"If what the cult leader says is true..."
Qianji raised his head, his eyes flashing with an almost scorching light, and said earnestly:
"The Demonic Path of a Thousand Machines is willing to be a blade in the Master's hand, to serve the great cause of my Xuan Tian Sect with all my might, with all my wisdom and strength, even unto death!"
