Chapter 824
Inauguration Ceremony
"Elder Huang, what do you have to say now?"
Su Mu turned to look at Huang Chao, smiled faintly, and spoke.
The expressions of Du Man, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect, Ye Tongxuan, and even Yang You, the Zhenbei Heavenly King of Da Luotian, all became very strange.
And that's how the position of sect leader of the Yanfu Sect was decided.
Isn't this a bit too frivolous?
Despite these thoughts, everyone couldn't help but feel admiration for Lu Yin, the former sect leader of the Yanfu Sect.
The fact that the other party so readily gave up the position of sect leader of Yanfu Sect is something that not everyone can do.
If it were them, they wouldn't dare say they could definitely give up such a prestigious position.
The position of the sect leader of the Yanfu Sect is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious positions in the world, almost equivalent to the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty and the Eternal Heaven of the Great Luo Heaven.
It's no exaggeration to say that whoever becomes the sect leader of the Yanfu Sect can instantly transform into one of the three giants in the world.
The sect leader of the Hengshan Sect was a level below them.
Lu Yin gave up on such a position so easily.
He truly deserves to be called a powerful figure who founded the Yanfu Sect and resisted the Great Qian Dynasty for so long.
That sheer audacity is unmatched.
Many people in the world pursue power, but very few are able to relinquish it.
Huang Chao also fell silent.
He was able to give up the position of sect leader of Hengshan Sect because even if he didn't become the sect leader of Hengshan Sect, he would still be one of the Nine Extremes of Daqian and would still have a very high status in Daqian Dynasty.
But Lu Yin is different.
The Yanfu Sect was a force founded by Lu Yin, yet he abandoned it so easily.
Huang Chao asked himself, even if he were Lu Yin, he might not have been able to make such a decision.
However, now that Lu Yin has made this decision, the problem is now in his hands.
He had said that if Su Mu could prove that he was the sect leader of the Yanfu Sect, he would agree to Su Mu's request to persuade Emperor Qian to cease hostilities for ten years.
Yang You, the Heavenly King of Zhenbei, also learned what had happened from Ye Tongxuan.
Upon hearing Ye Tongxuan say that as long as Su Mu proved himself to be the sect leader of the Yanfu Sect, the Dao Realm expert of the Great Qian Dynasty would persuade the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty to cease hostilities for ten years, Zhenbei Tianwang Yang You was filled with disbelief.
He had only one thought in his mind: Could this really work?
Ever since Su Mu made the deal with Changshengtian, he had been wondering what methods Su Mu could use to fulfill his promise.
He guessed that the most likely scenario was that Su Mu would send troops to attack the Daqian Dynasty, leaving the Daqian Dynasty unable to attend to the Da Luo Tian.
But he never expected that Su Mu could achieve this goal without firing a single shot, relying solely on his silver tongue.
Yang You, the Heavenly King of Zhenbei, was well aware of the power of a Dao Extreme Realm expert, and he had no doubt that the Dao Extreme Realm expert could persuade the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
However, the thought that Su Mu had achieved his goal so easily made Zhenbei Tianwang Yang You feel as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.
But ironically, this was beneficial to Da Luo Tian, so he couldn't say anything to Su Mu.
"Huang keeps his word."
Huang Chao, the former sect leader of Hengshan Sect, said in a deep voice, "I will go and persuade His Majesty."
"Elder Huang, you can tell Emperor Qian that if he insists on starting a war, then the Yanfu Sect and the Daluotian Sect will form an alliance, and the Hengshan Sect and the Danxia Sect will also join the war."
Su Mu said.
"Danxia Sect? You think you can interfere with the Danxia Sect?"
Huang Chao frowned.
The Danxia Sect is stronger than the Hengshan Sect, and Huang Chao can't understand what relationship Su Mu has with the Danxia Sect.
It is already quite incredible that one person could have connections with both the Yokoyama Sect and the Jambudvipa Sect at the same time.
Now another major force has been involved?
"Fortunately, the Danxia Sect should listen to my advice."
Su Mu said calmly.
"The next sect leader of Danxia Sect will be Su Mu's Daoist partner."
"It was Du Man, the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect, who said in a low voice."
Huang Chao's pupils contracted, and a hint of helplessness flashed deep in his eyes.
What kind of monster have I encountered?
How can one person do so many things at the same time?
It's not a loss for me to suffer a defeat.
When faced with such a pervert, who dares to say they can gain the upper hand?
Perhaps, a truce would be a good thing for the Great Qian Dynasty.
If the Great Luo Heaven is already so difficult to deal with, then if the Yanfu Sect, Hengshan Sect, and Danxia Sect are added to the mix, the Great Qian Dynasty might really suffer a great loss.
"Will you release the formation to let me out, or will I break through the formation myself to get out?"
Huang Chao looked at Yang You, the Heavenly King of Zhenbei, and said coldly.
"I'll see you out."
Su Mu smiled faintly and suddenly flicked his sword.
In an instant, a ball of light enveloped Huang Chao, and in the blink of an eye, he was thrown out of the Great Luo Heaven.
Before leaving Da Luo Tian, Huang Chao's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
That bastard Su Mu, he can even control the Great Luo Heaven Formation of the Great Luo Heaven?
Is there anything he can't do?
Unfortunately, Huang Chao had already left Da Luo Tian, so there was no way to ask Su Mu this question in person.
However, Lu Yin, the former sect leader of Yanfu Sect, was still in Da Luo Tian. He looked at Su Mu with a hint of surprise on his face.
They had experienced the power of the Luo Tian Grand Formation before.
That was a super formation capable of blocking even a Dao Realm expert.
These people had suffered quite a bit of losses before.
Such a grand formation must be a core secret of the Great Luo Heaven, and it is absolutely impossible for it to be handed over to outsiders.
Theoretically speaking, Su Mu could not possibly master the Luo Tian Grand Array.
But now, Su Mu is indeed in control of the Luo Tian Grand Array.
Lu Yin had a sudden thought, and for a moment he had the same idea as Huang Chao.
Just what kind of monster is this Su Mu?
He has become the Daoist partner of the sect leaders of Yanfu Sect, Hengshan Sect, and Danxia Sect, and now he can even get involved in the Great Luo Heaven.
Lu Yin suddenly thought to himself, if Su Mu could really integrate so many forces together, then what would the Great Qian Dynasty have to fear?
Xuanwu Protector's premonition before his death was correct; perhaps Su Mu can lead the Yanfu Sect to achieve what they have always wanted to do.
"Sect Leader Su."
Seeing Huang Chao leave, Lu Yin pondered and said, "Although we all know that you have taken over the position of sect leader, there are many disciples in the Yanfu Sect. If we want them to know about the existence of the new sect leader, I think it would be best to hold a sect leader succession ceremony."
"It just so happens that I also need to discuss this matter with you, Sect Leader Lu."
Su Mu turned around and said in a deep voice, "You heard it too, I need ten years now."
Within ten years, I hope that the Yanfu Sect can also make peace with the Great Qian Dynasty and the Great Luo Heaven.
"You are already the sect leader of the Yanfu Sect, so naturally you have the final say on this matter."
Lu Yin said without hesitation.
Ten years is not a long time for him.
He can wait ten years.
He is now looking forward to seeing how far Su Mu can take the Yanfu Sect in ten years.
"However, I still maintain that the Yanfu Sect does not belong to me alone, nor to you alone, but to all the disciples of the Yanfu Sect."
You must gain the support of all the disciples of the Yanfu Sect to truly secure your position as the sect leader. Otherwise, even if you issue a truce order, the disciples of the Yanfu Sect may not strictly follow it.
Lu Yin said solemnly.
The disciples of the Yanfu Sect were all people persecuted by the Great Qian Dynasty.
They have spent their entire lives resisting the Great Qian Dynasty. Now, suddenly asking them to cease hostilities with the Great Qian Dynasty is something that even if it were Lu Yin, let alone the new sect leader, many disciples of the Yanfu Sect might not obey.
"I know how many disciples the Yanfu Sect has. How could I possibly gain the approval of so many people?"
Zhenbei Tianwang Yang You said gloatingly, "I say, Su Mu, if you don't have the skills, don't take on the job."
If you can't do that, then apologize to our Great Luo Heaven, and we might forgive you.
"Yang You, it seems like you're hoping for my failure? What good will it do you if I fail?"
Su Mu said calmly, "Even if I persuade the Great Qian Dynasty to cease hostilities, if the Yanfu Sect does not cease hostilities, do you think your Great Luo Heaven can have ten years of peace?"
If the disciples of the Yanfu Sect do not listen to me, they will not give up the treasure trove that is the Great Luo Heaven.
"Your Great Luo Heaven couldn't stop the Great Qian Dynasty, so how could you possibly stop the Yanfu Sect?"
The Heavenly King of Zhenbei, Yang You, was speechless.
He simply disliked Su Mu and didn't want the Great Luo Heaven to be drawn into the war.
Su Mu did not press the matter further, but instead turned to look at Lu Yin.
"In that case, let's hold a ceremony to mark the succession of the sect leader, as you said."
I will prove to the disciples of the Yanfu Sect that as its leader, I will make the Yanfu Sect thrive and make the Great Qian Dynasty pay the price.
Su Mu's tone was meaningful.
…………
The Eternal Heaven sits high above, overlooking everything that happens within the sixth level of the Great Luo Heaven.
His expression was neither happy nor angry, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Yang You, the Heavenly King of Zhenbei, appeared beside him and recounted the whole story in detail.
“Chang Sheng Tian, Su Mu said he would not come to see you. He has fulfilled his promise, and what he chose in Da Luo Tian is the number one manor in the world.”
He has already taken those people from the number one manor in the world away.
Zhenbei Tianwang Yang You's tone was somewhat displeased as he continued, "He said he would visit Changsheng Tian after he finished what he needed to do."
However, he asked me to pass on a message to you, Eternal Heaven.
"What?"
"Chang Sheng Tian said calmly."
“He said that as long as our Great Luo Heaven still holds the secret of immortality, Great Luo Heaven will never have true peace,” said Yang You, the Heavenly King of the North, with a strange expression.
"Chang Sheng Tian, does our Great Luo Tian truly hold the secret to eternal life?"
The following question was asked by Yang You, the Heavenly King of Zhenbei.
Do you think so?
The Eternal Heaven did not answer but instead asked a question.
“I don’t think so, but those people think so.”
Zhenbei Tianwang Yang You said, "Although Su Mu is a bit annoying, what he said makes sense."
Those people are eyeing our Great Luo Heaven, most likely for that ridiculous, fictitious secret of eternal life.
Unless they prove that our Great Luo Heaven doesn't possess this secret, they will inevitably return sooner or later.
"It is easy to prove that something exists, but it is very difficult to prove that something does not exist."
Even if we tell them, they might not believe us.
Chang Shengtian said calmly, "Therefore, the most important thing for us right now is to prepare for battle."
"Accept the challenge?"
The Heavenly King of the North, Yang You, frowned slightly.
"With ten years, we should be ready for battle."
Chang Sheng Tian sighed, "I took too good care of you before, so you thought life in Da Luo Tian was just ordinary."
Now, it's time for you to know what the real world is like.
To protect their homeland, everyone in Da Luo Tian must take action.
You have ten years; you should be able to grow up by then.
Yang You, the Heavenly King of Zhenbei, fell silent.
Although he disliked Su Mu, he had to admit that Su Mu's abilities were indeed far superior to theirs.
Perhaps only someone like that can protect the Great Luo Heaven.
It's time for Yang You to make a change.
…………
When Su Mu arrived in Da Luo Tian, he was accompanied only by Du Man, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect.
When he left Da Luo Tian, he was accompanied by a team.
The composition of this team is quite complex.
There were many powerful figures from the Yanfu Sect, many geniuses from the Great Luo Heaven, and naturally, Du Man, the Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect, was also present.
This group of people is quite powerful.
There are already nearly ten experts at the Dao Extreme Realm alone.
With such strength, one could roam freely throughout the vast world without fear.
However, neither Su Mu nor Lu Yin, the former sect leader of Yanfu Sect, had any intention of showing off their strength.
After leaving Da Luo Tian, they traveled discreetly for several days until they reached their final destination.
This destination, however, was not the ancestral home of the Jambudvipa sect.
It was a place that Lin Nianchu gave up to the Great Xuan Dynasty.
This is the Great Xuan Dynasty, and also the place where the Yanfu Secret Realm is located.
Jin Yi, the former elder of the Yanfu Sect, has now joined Su Mu's sect and is in charge of managing the Yanfu Secret Realm.
Disciples of the Yanfu Sect who wish to enter the Yanfu Secret Realm for trials must pass through Jin Yi.
Lu Yin and the others looked at the bustling street and couldn't help but show surprise on their faces.
They had never heard of the Great Xuan Dynasty before.
The Great Xuan Dynasty came to the Great Thousand World after they entered the Great Luo Heaven.
In fact, it didn't take more than a few years.
In just a few short years, such a dynasty has taken root in the world and become so prosperous.
Su Mu has some capable people working under him.
Back when the Yanfu Sect was first established, it took many years for it to truly gain a foothold.
"After the inauguration ceremony, the Yanfu Sect and the Great Xuan Dynasty will be one family."
Lu Yin slowly spoke, "We have already witnessed your strength and governance capabilities."
But I'm still a little curious, how do you plan to win people over?
I can tell you, the Yanfu Sect is full of unruly people, and it won't be easy to get them to submit to you.
If you try to force someone, you'll likely find it difficult.
"There are plenty of experts at the Dao Realm in this world. If whoever is the strongest can become the sect leader of Yanfu Sect, wouldn't Emperor Qian be the most suitable candidate?"
The Azure Dragon Protector sneered, "If we only care about strength, why don't we just submit to the Great Qian Dynasty? Why should we stay in the Yanfu Sect?"
He looked at Su Mu with a defiant expression; clearly, he was one of those who disagreed.
"You should be glad that you met me now."
Su Mu glanced at the Azure Dragon Protector and said calmly, "If this were ten years ago, given my temper, you would be dead."
The Azure Dragon Protector felt a chill run down his spine, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
In that instant, he felt as if he had just walked on the edge of life and death.
As the strongest of the four guardians of the Yanfu Sect, the Azure Dragon Guardian has experienced countless battles in his life.
Even when facing the Nine Extremes of the Great Qian Dynasty, he never showed the slightest fear.
He even defeated some of the Nine Extremes of the Great Qian Dynasty.
But now, Su Mu was giving him a feeling of being on the verge of death.
This was a feeling he hadn't experienced in many years.
He never thought Su Mu was that strong. Even though Su Mu killed the Xuanwu Protector, he thought it was because the Xuanwu Protector was injured.
Only now did he realize that Su Mu's cultivation level had far surpassed his own.
He even had a feeling that if Su Mu really wanted to kill him, he would die.
Thinking about this, the Azure Dragon Protector felt somewhat incredulous.
He might lose as the Azure Dragon Protector, but he really couldn't believe that anyone in the world could kill him.
"However, my temper is much better now, and I won't kill people so easily anymore."
Su Mu said calmly, "Since I'm in a good mood right now, I'll answer your question."
"How I can win over the disciples of the Yanfu Sect is very simple."
Su Mu looked up and slowly said, "What you can't do, I can do."
"No matter what."
He added four words.
These four simple words exude boundless confidence.
Lu Yin and the others from Yanfu Sect all had slight changes in their expressions.
This is easy to say, but almost impossible to do in practice.
Who are they?
They were all powerful Dao Realm experts who had roamed the world for many years.
There are things in this world that they can't do, but there are definitely not many.
But each of these few things can be described as incredibly difficult.
They believed that Su Mu was very strong, but strength alone could not solve everything in the world.
In terms of pure strength, the old sect master Lu Yin is still above Su Mu.
But there are still things in this world that Lu Yin cannot do.
Su Mu's words were more than just boastful; they were downright arrogant and conceited.
"You might as well just say you're omnipotent."
The Azure Dragon Protector couldn't help but snort coldly.
"If that's what you think, then you're not wrong."
Su Mu nodded and said calmly.
"No, there are two things in this world that I cannot do."
Su Mu paused for a moment, then said.
Just as the Azure Dragon Protector was about to make a sarcastic remark, Su Mu continued, "One gives birth to a child, and the other turns back time."
Azure Dragon Guardian: "..."
Damn it, who cares if you can have children?
Even the most shameless disciples of the Yanfu Sect would never use such a thing to make things difficult for you.
"It's good that young people have such confidence."
Lu Yin, the old sect leader of Yanfu Sect, said with a smile, "Since that's the case, how about I make a suggestion?"
During the succession ceremony, any disciple of the Yanfu Sect who is dissatisfied may come up on stage to challenge him.
They will challenge you with what they do best, and you need to defeat them in what they do best. That way, they will naturally be convinced of your superiority.
"Just to my liking."
Su Mu nodded in agreement. (End of Chapter)
