System's Super Sect-Chapter 917 - 860: You’re the Red Domain’s Number One! (First Update)
Supreme City.
Residence of Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart.
As night fell, a slight chill filled the air, and Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart sat in the courtyard, engrossed in an ancient tome, seemingly unaware of a person approaching from behind.
"I’ve heard you’ve agreed to represent the Red Leaf Sect in the upcoming Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking?" the person quietly approached and asked.
Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart’s gaze did not waver, "Why, do you have any objections?"
"No, why would I have objections? Like you, I came from the Red Leaf Sect; I’m not someone who forgets their roots." The person denied while drawing closer to Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart and continued, "I’m planning a trip to the Red Domain, care to join me?"
Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart said bluntly, "Why are you going to the Red Domain? Is the Jisheng Hall really that idle, or is it just you?"
"Say what you will, I’m just here to ask if you’re joining me?"
"Why would I travel with you?" Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart coldly replied.
An ordinary person would likely leave awkwardly after hearing this.
But the person behind Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart did not, instead seeming quite accustomed to it.
"The Sect Leader entrusted me with a task..."
Saying that, the person looked at the back of Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart with anticipation, waiting for him to turn around and notice him.
Sure enough, Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart turned around.
He smiled slightly, showing a satisfied expression.
As expected, whenever the topic concerns Ye Wuping, Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart is very interested!
Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart asked coldly, "What task?"
"Within the Red Leaf Sect’s domain, a formidable force has suddenly emerged, causing significant losses to the sect recently. But because the Sword Demon has joined this force, it’s temporarily impossible to eliminate it, so a long-term plan is required!"
"A Sword Demon from the battlefield?"
"You know it, none of the strong at the Veil Tower on the battlefield can deal with the Sword Demon, proving he’s not that easy to handle. The Sect Leader is likely not his match!"
"What do you need me to do?"
"No need to rush, since we plan to act, there’s nothing you need to do. I just came to ask if you’d like to go back and take a look. The Sect Leader isn’t in the best situation right now, and women, if you show up when they most need you, they’ll hold you in their heart."
"Really?"
"How else do you think I got my 187 wives?"
"I’ll trust you this once." Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart asked again, "When do we leave?"
"Tomorrow morning."
"Why not tonight?"
...
Before the Master’s Dao Maze.
Hundreds gathered before the Master’s Dao Maze, raising their heads to inquire of Long Yue standing guard there.
"Senior, may I ask, if I join the sect, can the Immortal Sect guarantee me as the top in the Red Domain?" A remarkably young prodigy inquired.
Quite young, yet at the Lower Realm of Mountain Suppression!
The foremost talent before the Master’s Dao Maze!
With his inquiry, everyone awaited Long Yue’s response.
With the recent surge in skepticism against the Immortal Sect, everyone’s keenly interested in the answer to this question.
Long Yue shook his head and said, "You only need to enter the Master’s Dao Maze. As for securing the top spot in the Red Domain, the Sect Leader will decide. However, given your power, the Immortal Sect should easily guarantee a position in the top 20 or even top 10!"
The prodigy rejoiced, glancing at his family behind him.
His family offered encouraging gazes, urging him to proceed into the Master’s Dao Maze.
Securing a top 20 spot is quite satisfactory.
If the top 10, that’s even better.
With his entry, numerous others eagerly followed suit.
By dusk, Long Ke returned to the Immortal Sect.
The first thing upon returning to the Immortal Sect was to inquire at the dinner table about who Wen Ping would ensure as the top in the Red Domain.
In fact, everyone anticipated this answer.
The allure of Spirit Rice pales in comparison to the power of this answer; everyone set down their chopsticks, all eyes on Wen Ping dining.
"Sect Leader, just tell us."
"Sect Leader, I think I can do it!"
"If you can do it, then surely I can handle it too."
"Do you guys have any shame?"
Yang Lele couldn’t help but retort and then glared at the two newly joined disciples.
Following the senior disciple’s taunt, the two quickly silenced their chatter, exchanged glances, and grinned sheepishly.
Wen Ping glanced around the room, finally fixing his gaze on Yun Liao and Yang Lele.
Yang Lele, the Senior Disciple of the Immortal Sect.
Yun Liao, the Grand Elder of the Immortal Sect.
Both practiced magic and possessed the qualifications to cultivate in the Sea Thought Pavilion, making the second stage of spiritual power merely a matter of time.
For securing the Red Domain top spot, Wen Ping didn’t consider the newly joined disciples but rather made a choice between them.
Yang Lele is a viable choice.
Yun Liao is also a possibility.
Neither have reached 40 years of age.
"Elder Yun, has your spiritual power shown any signs of reaching the second stage?" Wen Ping looked at Yun Liao.
Yun Liao hurriedly replied, "Sect Leader, I’ve yet to hit the limit of the first stage; there’s still quite some way to go to the second stage."
Hearing this, Wen Ping glanced at Yang Lele before deliberating a moment and ultimately chose Yun Liao, "Elder Yun, in that case, you’ll take the top spot in the Red Domain. During this time, all matters of the sect will be handed over to Elder Qin Shan, you just need to focus on cultivation."
"Me, Sect Leader?"
Yun Liao was shocked.
"Elder Yun, show some confidence!"
"Elder Yun, you can do it!"
"We believe in you!"
The elders and disciples started to cheer, envious of Elder Yun.
However, the newly joined disciples were stunned, realizing Elder Yun hadn’t reached 40 and met the criteria for competing, yet he’s only at the Divine Profound Realm.
The top spot in the Red Domain with the Divine Profound Realm?
Seeing the curious and surprised expressions in the crowd, Long Yue explained, "Elder Yun cultivates the magic lineage, not the Meridian Gate."
Everyone suddenly realized.
So Elder Yun cultivates magic.
This Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking will be lively!
Magic will be showcased to the world for the first time and seize the top spot forcefully!
All the disciples could envision the startled expressions of the Red Domain’s populace.
Yet at that moment, Yun Liao kept shaking his head, "Sect Leader, I can’t, truly I can’t! This opportunity should be given to them; they’re still young!"
Wen Ping chuckled helplessly, "Elder Yun, are you really that old? It’s decided, the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension List Red Domain top spot belongs to you!"
Yun Liao continued shaking his head.
Because he believed this chance should be given to the sect disciples.
Disciples need opportunities to showcase themselves and need more glory to enrich their lives.
As an elder, his main duty is managing the sect and nurturing more exceptional disciples, not seeking the limelight!
However, regardless of how much Yun Liao shook his head, Wen Ping’s decision was already made, so everyone started congratulating Yun Liao.
The Sect Leader’s decree cannot be changed at will.
So if it’s Yun Liao, then it’s definitely Yun Liao!
"Congratulations, Elder Yun!"
"Elder Yun, it’s your turn to shine this time."
"Elder Yun, tonight you must treat us to a movie and buy popcorn and cola!"
Everyone laughed and congratulated, completely drowning out Yun Liao’s voice.
Wen Ping patted the shoulder of Yun Liao, who still hoped to hand the opportunity to the disciples, and then said, "Believe in yourself, you can do it!"
After saying that, Wen Ping left the kitchen and returned to Tingyu Pavilion.
(Thanks to Bing Fa Twenty-Four Chapters for the 500 reward, thanks to Disgusting Family for the 1000 reward. Thanks to Come Nurse for the 607 reward... Curious. How did this 7 come about in a reward? Shouldn’t rewards be whole numbers?)
