Seeing this, Fang Ruotang walked into the range of the lightning tribulation.

The Supreme Elder opened his eyes wide, and then saw that the thundercloud, which had originally come with a fierce and earth-shattering momentum, suddenly changed its expression and started to slash left and right as if it were just playing around.

His sycophantic manner was so unbearable to look at.

"This..." The Supreme Elder was dizzy and wondered if he was hallucinating from being struck by lightning too many times.

The lightning bolt that struck him was so thick, but when it struck Fang Ruotang, it was as if she had lost weight; the thin strand that was pulled out was probably no thicker than a little finger.

Having lived to such an old age, he had seen those favored by Heaven, but their favor was merely a matter of good luck, completely different from this.

This can no longer be described as a favored child of heaven.

Even after the tribulation was over, the Supreme Elder was still in a daze, looking incredulous and unable to believe it.

No, is the Heavenly Dao really that biased?

Then what about all the suffering he's endured over the years?

I'm a little happy that I improved my cultivation level so easily, but I also feel a little wronged. What's going on?

"Are you the Heavenly Dao's favorite daughter?" The Supreme Elder looked at Fang Ruotang with a complicated expression. In all his years of life, he had never seen anyone so favored by the Heavenly Dao.

[Bullshit! This Fang Tiandao isn't even qualified to be your daughter, yet he dares to ask us to be his daughter?]

After saying this angrily, Little Mirror went to confront Heaven.

Heaven was no match for the little mirror and, feeling wronged, struck the Supreme Elder with a thunderbolt. However, knowing that this was someone the great one below was protecting, Heaven showed mercy.

One of the lightning strikes turned the Supreme Elder's entire body black, and he coughed twice, exhaling thick smoke.

"Sect Master, what's going on?"

"You said I am the daughter of Heaven, and he is afraid I will come after him."

Fang Ruotang spoke the truth.

The Supreme Elder, however, could not understand.

He has already passed the tribulation of lightning and entered the Mahayana stage, becoming a half-step True Immortal capable of sensing the connection between heaven and man.

But Fang Ruotang's words, he could understand each word individually, but when put together, he couldn't understand them. Was this person speaking a different language than him?

"Alright, is everything alright now? If not, I'm going back to my room to sleep." Fang Ruotang waved her hand, not wanting to look at the Supreme Elder who looked like a homeless person.

Especially his chicken coop, which had been struck by lightning and stood upright, was a mess, its skin blackened and cracked with many cuts, bleeding continuously; it looked very filthy.

"That's it?"

The Supreme Elder felt as if his spirit had gone on a journey. He felt the spiritual energy within his body and could not believe that improving his cultivation level was so simple.

Thinking of the suffering he had endured over the past few thousand years, he silently began to shed tears.

Fang Ruotang saw that his cheeks were washed clean by tears, leaving two clean streaks.

Seeing that the Supreme Elder was about to burst into tears, Fang Ruotang covered her ears and quickly left; she couldn't empathize with him.

She can't endure the hardships of cultivation, nor will she.

As soon as she left, all the people who had been with her left, while the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion all surrounded her, offering their congratulations to the Supreme Elder.

The place where the Supreme Elder underwent his tribulation was on the back mountain of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.

At first, the lightning tribulation came with great force, and they stayed far away, not daring to come up and watch. It wasn't until the commotion subsided that some of them gathered around.

Only when there was absolutely no movement did they dare to run over directly.

With a single cleansing spell, the Supreme Elder was completely transformed. After taking a pill, the bleeding stopped, and he returned to his dignified and otherworldly appearance.

Jiang Wangzhou looked at the Supreme Elder and said with a pained expression, "Supreme Elder, please tone down your oppressive aura."

Although the disciples who were not of high cultivation level were not observant enough to come this close.

But his high level of understanding doesn't mean he wants to withstand pressure.

"Tsk!" The Supreme Elder raised an eyebrow, his expression one of extreme pride.

Jiang Wangzhou saw through the Supreme Elder's desire to show off and silently cooperated, frantically starting to flatter him.

"Elder, you are amazing. You are the second cultivator in our Cloud Deep Continent to enter the Mahayana stage. You are only one step away from ascension. Judging from the new sect leader's abilities, he may be able to find out the reason why the ladder to immortality in our Cloud Deep Continent is broken."

The Supreme Elder thought of how Heavenly Dao had been playing with the child earlier, and her teeth ached again. It was not just that she could find it; if she asked, Heavenly Dao would probably transform into ten or eight different people to complain to her.

This matter is entirely due to their new manager's inaction.

"Elder, our Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion..." Jiang Wangzhou hesitated for a moment. In any case, it was his decision to merge the people and resources into the Heavenly One Sect.

The Supreme Elder swept his gaze over them and said, "What do you mean 'our Myriad Swords Pavilion'? I am now the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly One Sect. You are the Sword Pavilion, understand?"

Jiang Wangzhou's lips twitched; the Supreme Elder was more useless than he had imagined.

"It's no big deal. Cultivating anywhere is still cultivation. If we really have a chance to ascend to the Upper Realm, we'll talk about it then! Besides..." The Supreme Elder's eyes were filled with resentment, "No one from our Myriad Swords Pavilion has ever successfully ascended. Even if we reach the Upper Realm, no one will hold us accountable."

Jiang Wangzhou thought about it and agreed.

The most powerful person in the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion is the Supreme Elder.

Then came him and some elders.

Although some elders were very dissatisfied and threatened to rebuild the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, it had no impact on them.

The fact that the new sect leader's actions directly raised the Supreme Elder's cultivation level shows that she doesn't care about having another Mahayana cultivator.

Or rather, even if the Supreme Elder regrets it afterward, she has the ability to suppress him.

Jiang Wangzhou, who had already come to terms with things, became even more open-minded.

The next day, after Fang Ruotang got up, she noticed a slight change in Jiang Wangzhou's attitude, which was now respectful but tinged with a hint of flattery.

Does he also want to improve his cultivation level?

Fang Ruotang used the power of the small mirror to take a look, and realized it was far from enough; it wasn't about that.

She didn't bother to think about it too much. The original Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion already had a complete system of order. Now, there was a huge population shortage, but it could still operate with difficulty.

"This is the list of personnel from the Tiangang Sect. Keep it safe. After the Tiangang Sect is destroyed, you can recruit these people into our Tianyi Sect."

Jiang Wangzhou was dumbfounded.

Was it because he didn't sleep last night and was practicing meditation the whole time?

Something's not right again.

"What exactly happened to the Tiangang Sect?"

Seeing Jiang Wangzhou's curiosity, Fang Ruotang asked him to summon Yuan Zhao Zhenren and the Supreme Elder. Once the three of them were gathered, she released the recording stone without saying a word.

The three of them remained silent after reading it.

"I also gave this recording stone to the sect leader of the Tiangang Sect. I didn't notify the sects behind the disciples who died inside. Anyway, once Renwei Zhenren died, the news of those disciples' deaths couldn't be kept secret."

"No wonder the Tiangang Sect has been behaving strangely lately. It's all because of this. So... does the Sect Master intend to take this opportunity to annex the Tiangang Sect?" Jiang Wangzhou asked directly.
