Legend of the Great Sage

wo Human Immortal sect masters, their cultivations definitely took priority.
They would not waste time dealing with these regular affairs.
The entire Myriad sect was an autocracy centred around direct disciples, so they required someone to watch over them.
However, even if the first senior brother or sister was in charge, their cultivation was limited.
Of course, they did not possess the same authority as sect masters, and they would go through an election process each century.

Pi Yangqiu said, “That’s right.
However, senior brother Lin Xuan underwent reincarnation.
The century hasn’t elapsed yet, so the spot is still open.
So far, there are two direct disciples with the greatest chance at inheriting this position.
There’s basically no other direct disciples that can contend against them, so they’re referred to as first senior brother and first senior sister right now.”

“They seem pretty impressive.”

“Let’s just say this.
In a direct confrontation, there are no direct disciples that are their opponent.”

Le Tian smiled.
“You might as well say that if they worked together, even if you combined all the other direct disciples, they would not be their opponent.
Of course, they would never work together.”

Li Qingshan was shocked as well.
It was no wonder why he felt so pressured.
That was a Human Sovereign among Human Sovereigns, not someone like Si Long who barely squeezed into their ranks.

“Just how did I offend her?”

“Probably because junior sister Ruan Yaozhu asked her to take care of you.
She personally brought junior sister Ruan to the Myriad sect…”

Li Qingshan understood immediately.
He sighed.
“Then I can’t blame anyone else.
It really is all because I’m just too charming!”

“Err…”

Le Tian smiled.
“You don’t have any concern for your life, nor do you have a sense of shame.
You have a bright future ahead of you.”

“Thank you for your praise.”

“That Shen Yushu has converted his soul nascence into a proper soul a long time ago.
He’s only a step away from the fifth heavenly tribulation, one of the disciples in the sect with the greatest hopes of becoming a direct disciples.
You probably won’t be his opponent.
I’m really worried about my gamble, so you should just forfeit!”

That was the most natural judgement to make in the cultivation community.
Even with a difference in their cultivation method and whether they were skilled at battle or not, an entire realm of cultivation still separated the two.
That was a colossal gulf that was very difficult to make up for.
And as their cultivations advanced, the gulf between realms would grow wider.
Even after witnessing Li Qingshan’s performance in Magnetic Field mountain, he basically did not have any hopes.

Li Qingshan smiled.
“You wanna gamble on that?”

“Of course, I’ll bet that you win.”

Li Qingshan was taken aback.

“Hehe, you are my dark horse after all!”

……

Shen Yushu stood within a swamp, still in some disbelief over his luck.
This was basically the place most suited to the techniques of the Heavenly Tome of Nature in the Xuanwu arena, and he could kill his enemies honourably here.

Killing intent flashed through his eyes as he gazed at Li Qingshan in the distance.

He did not know why the first senior sister had made this arrangement, but he definitely would not let this opportunity slip by.
Standing so far away, that kid would never have the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on him again.
He would use his full strength right from the beginning and kill him with the plants.

Chao Tianjiao, Pi Yangqiu, and Le Tian spectated from the cliff in the distance.

Le Tian smiled and said something to Chao Tianjiao.
Chao Tianjiao agreed without batting an eye, beginning a new gamble.

Pi Yangqiu hesitated on the side and ended up deciding against provoking this tigress.
It would not not be fun once she began feuding with him.

Li Qingshan was relaxed.
Suddenly, he looked at the cliff and asked loudly, “Do you all know what the strong is?”

He referred to all of them, but he was only looking at Chao Tianjiao.
Chao Tianjiao sneered and asked, “What is the strong?”

Suddenly, Li Qingshan drew the Frenzy Flower Blade of Path’s End and pointed it at Chao Tianjiao in the distance.
He smiled and said, “When the strong lose their temper, they draw their blades at the stronger.
When the weak lose their temper, they draw their blades at the weaker!”
