Legend of the Great Sage

a harsh and resolute cultivation method like the Heavenly Tome of Xuanwu, so no matter what they thought, no one imagined she would actually become a cultivation partner with someone one day.
It seemed a little warped, but the cultivation community always revered the strong.
Being “visited” by a Human Immortal like that could not be regarded as something bad at the end of the day.

Shen Yushu was ashen.
He was grief-stricken as if his parents had just died.
“To think that something like this can actually happen…”

As Li Qingshan was still blanked out, Ruan Yaozhu walked over and said impassively, “Congratulations, first senior brother.”

“Yaozhu, you…”

Ruan Yaozhu raised her hand.
“Please treat first senior sister well.
You shouldn’t be unchaste anymore!” She turned around and left with that.

“Me? Unchaste?” Li Qingshan pointed at himself.
He found it absolutely absurd.
He murmured to himself, “But… I’m… clearly… a romantic…”

“Congratulations, first senor brother! Felicitations, first senior brother! It’s twice the blessings today! You and first senior sister really do go well together!”

The direct disciples all approached him to congratulate him.
No matter what, the position of first senior brother was his, or in other words, he was now the temporary master of the Myriad sect.
Even direct disciples had to obey him.
He had even become the cultivation partner of a Human Immortal now, which was even more impressive.
Coupled with the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance’s signs of support, he was probably the first senior brother with the greatest authority throughout the history of the Myriad sect.

As it directly impacted their interests, they naturally had to cotton up to him.
On top of that, Li Qingshan had truly won everyone over with his performance in the battle within the Demon domain, so they did not feel like they were belittling themselves.

At this moment, bells and drums rang through the city as banners and decorations unfurled.
They began the ceremony, celebrating the birth of a new first senior brother.

Li Qingshan had no idea how to respond.
All around him were smiles filled with admiration from the bottom of his heart, yet he felt extremely pent-up inside.

Suddenly, he noticed Shen Yushu silently shrinking back in the crowd.
He called out, “Stop right there!’

Shen Yushu shivered.
He turned around.
“F- first senior brother!”

“Heh, I even forgot about you.
You stood there changing your expression like Chinese opera.
You must love watching me make a fool out of myself!”

Shen Yushu knew he was done for, so he decided to be vicious and leave behind a few threats.
It was not like Li Qingshan dared to kill him.
However, when his words reached his mouth, it became, “I- I would never…”

Li Qingshan turned towards Dai Mengfan and asked, “Junior sister Dai, do I have the authority to punish him?”

“You’re the first senior brother.
Everything you say counts.”

Dai Mengfan stuck with the same phrase, glancing at Shen Yushu indifferently.
He was merely an inner disciple.
He had the chance to become a direct disciple, but he clearly did not have that chance anymore.
Who could help the fact that he had offended someone he could not afford to?

Li Qingshan waved his hand dramatically.
“You’ve been fired.
Gather your stuff and piss off!”

The direct disciples glanced at one another.
Sure enough, Li Qingshan was resolute and meticulous.
He had picked up all the tricks all by himself.

Even as the first senior brother, he could not just ignore the rule of killing fellow disciples.
However, if they were not fellow disciples, then if they were killed, they were killed.
The cultivation community had never been some nice wonderland.

The primary responsibility of the first senior brother was to wage war against the Demon domain.
Many of the times, it would be military law, not sect rules.
As long as he had a proper reason, he could even expel direct disciples.
Coupled with his terrifying battle prowess, who stood a chance against him?

This was the true core to the Myriad sect.
At the end of the day, it still came down to the strength to overwhelm everyone, not through elections and democracy.

Shen Yushu threw himself on the ground with tears strewn across his face.
“I’ve been blind.
Please spare my life, first senior brother!”

Li Qingshan was perplexed.
“It’s not like I said I’d kill you, so what’s this sparing your life about? Oh, you’re afraid I’ll expell you first and then hunt you down? Heh, do you think I’m that kind of lowly scoundrel? If I wanted to kill you, I’d take your life with a punch right now.
Junior sister Dai, do I have that kind of authority?”

“This…” Dai Mengfan was speechless.
No matter what, it was difficult to play down the first senior brother killing an inner disciple in front of everyone.

“I know!” Li Qingshan raised his thumb.
“I’m the first senior brother, everything I say counts!”

A confident smile stretched across his face, and all the direct disciples shivered inside.
He was probably actually capable of something like that.
It would be best if they did not butt against him openly in the future!

“Now piss off! Before I change my mind.”

Shen Yushu scurried away.
He was actually unable to develop any thoughts of revenge.

Within the sea of cheers in the city, the Pavilion of Heavenly Tomes stood tall.
The Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the boundless ocean in the distance.

Chao Tianjiao stood on the eaves alone.
Her eyes were cold like stars as she looked back and asked, “Spirit reverend, just what kind of person is he?”

With how great the temporal difference between beyond the Nine Heavens and the Human realm was, why had she come back now of all times, not earlier or later? Or was it because someone had arranged this? If someone had arranged this, then so be it, but if it really was just a coincidence, it would be far too unbelievable.

“The will of the heavens have always been perplexing.”
