Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I'm dying Before I Got Cheats
Chapter 961: Xue Ping's Summon, Abdicating the Position of Sect MasterEditor: Henyee Translations
As Leng Yuehua’s graceful figure departed, laughter immediately filled the air.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, upon hearing this sound, immediately knew who had arrived.
Or rather, the moment he appeared, everyone sensed his presence, automatically making way for him, his aura overwhelmingly strong.
“Chengxuan, congratulations! Hahaha, you truly are my pride! The genius of our Haoran Sect!”
Without a doubt, the newcomer was Qin Shenwu, accompanied by the figure of Xue Ping.
The arrival of two of the Haoran Sect’s leading figures side by side undoubtedly brought the event to its climax.
“Shifu!”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan greeted in unison, then approached them closely.
“Congratulations, Chengxuan! The future of our Haoran Sect now rests on your shoulders!”Sect Master Xue Ping approached Jiang Chengxuan, his face also full of satisfaction and joy.
To tell the truth, after Qin Shenwu’s breakthrough to the Mahayana, he had considered stepping down as Sect Master,
Thus Jiang Chengxuan had been given the title of Vice Sect Master.
Now, with Jiang Chengxuan’s formal breakthrough to Dao Mastery, it undoubtedly accelerated Xue Ping’s decision to abdicate.
“Shifu! Sect Master! Any accomplishments I have today are all thanks to the cultivation and nurturing of the Haoran Sect and yourselves. How can I claim to be a genius?”
Facing the two venerable figures, Jiang Chengxuan humbly shook his head with a smile.
“Hahaha! No need to be modest. This is a congratulatory gift from me, accept it!”
Qin Shenwu’s smile had not ceased all day. With a wave in the void, several lotus seeds appeared in his hand, which he then handed to Jiang Chengxuan.
“These are seeds of the Daoless Black Lotus, very helpful for stabilizing realms, perfect for you!”
Qin Shenwu spoke casually, yet his words caused a stir among the crowd, eliciting gasps of amazement.
The Daoless Lotus, a treasure from beyond the realms, and these seeds of the Daoless Black Lotus were incredibly precious.
It was said that each seed could save one hundred years of arduous cultivation, making this gift no small matter.
“Thank you, Shifu!”
Even Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but show a look of gratitude, stowing the Daoless Black Lotus seeds away.
A gift from a Mahayana Daolord like Qin Shenwu was indeed no trivial matter.
Following that, Sect Master Xue Ping also stepped forward, presenting his own gift.
“Chengxuan, this is Five Elements Breath Soil, it can enhance the power of the Five Elements Dao rule. I give it to you as a congratulatory gift.”
Xue Ping, having been the Sect Master of Haoran Sect for many years, naturally possessed treasures of considerable value,
This piece of Five Elements Breath Soil, though seeming simple, was not much less significant than Qin Shenwu’s Daoless Black Lotus seeds.
As an item that could influence the power of Dao rules, it was very useful even for someone at the Dao Mastery realm.
Moreover, Jiang Chengxuan could also give this treasure to Shen Ruyan for refining, to enhance her power of the Five Elements Divine Thunder, which would be greatly beneficial for her cultivation.
“Thank you, Sect Master!”
Thus, Jiang Chengxuan replied with a radiant smile, taking the gifts from both men into his possession.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they left time for the other elders to come forward.
In the end,
The congratulatory ceremony within the Haoran Sect lasted a full day and night.
The array of treasures presented surpassed what a typical Dao Integration cultivator might see in a lifetime.
With this, Jiang Chengxuan truly made a fortune, even recovering a good portion of the resources he had expended on his breakthrough preparations.
The radiance emanating from Jiang Chengxuan’s breakthrough to Dao Mastery finally dissipated completely after seven days.
Later, some elders from Thunderclap Valley also visited Jiang Chengxuan to congratulate him,
And with Shen Ruyan as a link, the two sects joyfully advanced their relations.
It was only then that the tumult of the fastest Dao Mastery breakthrough in history truly concluded.
In the following days, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan stayed within the new Cloudmist Peak, peacefully enjoying their time together after a century apart.
Several days later,
Jiang Chengxuan was racing alone within the Haoran Sect.
This was not because he was up to something secretive; rather, he was simply trying to avoid interactions as being spotted by disciples of the Haoran Sect would inevitably lead to time-consuming interactions.
Today, he had received an invitation from Sect Master Xue Ping and was now on his way to the Sect Master Hall, eager not to be delayed.
Xue Ping had not specified the reason for the meeting in his message, but Jiang Chengxuan had his suspicions.
Even he, who had broken through to Dao Mastery, could not help but feel a little troubled about that matter.
Before long, Jiang Chengxuan arrived at the grand entrance of the majestic Sect Master Hall.
This place was reserved for the exclusive use of the Haoran Sect’s Sect Master, including hosting important sect meetings.
The Sect Master Hall was incredibly imposing, representing the face of the entire Haoran Sect.
Only the incumbent Sect Master was entitled to reside or, perhaps more aptly, to guard this place.
After all, the Sect Master Hall was home to the sect’s strategic treasures, available at the Sect Master’s command.
“Sect Master, Chengxuan has arrived.”
As he entered the hall, Jiang Chengxuan bowed and announced his presence, his voice echoing throughout the vast space.
“Hahaha, come over here, Chengxuan, we’ve been waiting for you.”
However, the response came not from Sect Master Xue Ping but from his Shifu, Qin Shenwu.
Without any hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan proceeded deeper into the hall, climbing the steps to the high platform where he saw Xue Ping and Qin Shenwu standing side by side, looking at him benevolently.
“Chengxuan, how stable is your realm now?”
Upon meeting, Xue Ping immediately inquired about Jiang Chengxuan’s condition, exchanging a few courteous words.
“There are no issues; my realm is stable.”
Jiang Chengxuan responded, his gaze neither too humble nor arrogant as he looked at Xue Ping.
“Good.”
The next moment, Xue Ping’s demeanor shifted abruptly, his expression turning grave as he said:
“Chengxuan, today, with your Shifu as my witness, I intend to abdicate the position of Sect Master to you. Are you willing to accept?”
His words, solemn as thunder, reverberated through the Sect Master Hall, laden with significance.
At that instant, Jiang Chengxuan furrowed his brow, and Qin Shenwu’s expression also turned serious.
This decision had been long in the making, and Jiang Chengxuan had been prepared in his heart.
Yet, when Xue Ping actually voiced his intention to pass on the mantle, a sense of unreality and weightiness washed over him.
The Haoran Sect, a rising overlord force, was not an easy leadership to assume.
Like Qin Shenwu and even Xue Ping, if not for the responsibility and the lack of suitable successors, they would not have wished to take on this role.
Now, handing over this position to Jiang Chengxuan, they were passing not only power but also a profound responsibility.
The ascending Haoran Sect needed a pioneering leader more than ever.
And both Qin Shenwu and Xue Ping believed they lacked the youthful ambition required for such a role, recognizing that it was time for a younger cultivator like Jiang Chengxuan to step forward.
