In the main hall, all the elders of Kunlun have arrived.
The last time we gathered here was not long ago, when Master Ziwei announced the Baiyujing competition.
Of course, most of the Kunlun elders already knew in advance that the gathering was just a formality.
However, this time, the elders were really caught off guard, because Sect Leader Ziwei had not revealed any news beforehand... Then again, it had only been a few days since the Baiyujing Competition ended, what urgent matter could there be that required everyone to be called here?
Could it be that the subsequent secret realm of Golden Palace has been discovered?
Thinking of this, the elders of Kunlun stood up straight, waiting for Master Ziwei to announce the answer.
The head of Ziwei Sect was very calm and composed. He waited until the elders who were always late arrived at Yuxu Palace and walked into the main hall. Then he slowly spoke:
"The reason why we are gathering everyone together this time is because Qiu Changtian is going to resign from the position of the chief of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Who do you think would be a better successor?"
The elders looked at each other.
According to the rules of Kunlun Taiqing Sect, the chief of the Foundation Establishment Realm must be selected from the most powerful disciples in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Therefore, in theory, this position is not exclusive to the disciples of the headmaster's lineage, and the foundation-building disciples of other elders can also compete. The reason why the headmaster Ziwei came to ask everyone this time is reasonable.
However, Kunlun Taiqing Sect is different from Shushan and Penglai. The leader's lineage has the immortal Qi-refining technique "The True Words of Entering the Nine Heavens", which leads to the elite disciples of each generation liking to gather under the leader's tutelage.
Over time, all the top masters in the Foundation Establishment Realm came from the master's disciples, and this became an unspoken rule known to everyone.
So, Master, when you come to ask us this question this time, are you planning to make fun of us?
Some elders were anxious and spoke directly:
"Master, why are you asking us? Since Qiu Changtian has stepped down, why not let Xu Yinglian take over? I still have a furnace of elixirs in my cave!"
These words were so loud that everyone nodded, and then...then they realized that something was wrong.
What, Qiu Changtian is no longer the chief of the Foundation Establishment Realm?
He is a man of great virtue, and he won glory for his sect in the Baiyujing competition, defeating all the strong men and becoming the best in the world (actually he was the best in the righteous way, but Kunlun claimed to be the best in the world). But he was dismissed from the position of the chief. What are you crazy about, the head sect leader? Has he been possessed by a demon from outer space?
There was an awkward silence in the main hall.
No one spoke. Everyone looked at each other, signaling to go and see if the master had gone astray. In any case, they would definitely not rush to the front.
Seeing that no one understood, Master Ziwei frowned slightly, then looked at several elders of his faction and signaled with his eyes.
So the elders immediately came out to help, seemingly puzzled:
"Master, Qiu Changtian has done nothing wrong, why did he resign from the position of the chief of the foundation-building realm?"
"You all don't know." Master Ziwei said indifferently, "My disciple has already formed a golden core. According to the rules of our sect, he can no longer serve as the chief of the foundation-building realm."
Huh! Suddenly, there were gasps from the crowd.
Qiu Changtian stood obediently behind Sect Leader Ziwei. Seeing the elders gritting their teeth and inhaling, he couldn't help but feel speechless.
Wait a minute everyone, I haven’t told you yet that the golden elixir I formed is of the first grade!
Why are you guys starting to say "this kid is so scary" now? It's too early, too early!
Sect Leader Ziwei also frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied with the reaction of the Kunlun elders.
We are the Kunlun Taiqing Sect! Qiu Changtian is also the direct disciple of this master. It's just that he formed the elixir in advance within a hundred years. What's wrong? Is it worth making such a fuss?
Shameful!
He signaled to the elders again, and the elders asked again:
"Why did the golden elixir form so quickly? If we remember correctly, Qiu Changtian hasn't even lived half his life yet. What grade of golden elixir is this?"
"To be honest with you all." Master Ziwei said calmly, "My disciple has already accumulated enough cultivation in the Huafu and reached the threshold of the first-grade golden elixir. Therefore, it is a waste of time to cultivate further, so I formed the golden elixir in advance."
Everyone: ...
These outrageous remarks were made by Sect Leader Ziwei in a nonchalant tone, as if he was saying, "My disciple made a pot of tea."
However, that was a first-grade golden elixir!
How many rare Zifu secret medicines are needed to cultivate the Huafu for more than 800 years?
The final calamity of the first-grade pill-condensing stage must have been extremely difficult, how did you get through it?
It’s not that we don’t believe you, it’s just that this level of Dan Condensation Tribulation should at least make the sun and moon dim. Why has there been no movement around the Kunlun Mountains recently?
Of course, everyone present was not stupid and knew that Master Ziwei was definitely not lying.
To know the grade of Qiu Changtian’s golden elixir, all we have to do is hold his wrist and send our spiritual consciousness along his meridians into the Jade Palace, right?
Even if he didn't do this, just by looking at his subsequent fights with others, one can see about 70% of how abundant and powerful his true energy is.
It is absolutely impossible for Master Ziwei to tell such an impossible lie, which means...
First-grade golden elixir, is it real?
"Is the golden elixir that Qiu Changtian produced really of the first grade?" Before everyone could recover from their shock, the elders of the sect's lineage asked in unison.
"Of course." Master Ziwei said indifferently, "How can this be fake?"
"A first-grade golden elixir is rare in the world!" After saying this, the elders of Kunlun understood everything and immediately began to sing praises, "We, the Kunlun Taiqing Sect, are blessed to have Qiu Changtian. It is a blessing for the righteous path!"
"You are worthy of being the headmaster! Only the Ziwei headmaster can teach a genius like Qiu Changtian!"
"With Qiu Changtian, why should we worry about the future of Kunlun Taiqing Sect?"
Although everyone was deliberately saying nice things, their moods were not fake. The way they looked at Qiu Changtian was a mixture of admiration and surprise, and the pride in their tone came from the heart.
After all, it is a first-grade golden elixir!
The starting point of the Golden Elixir is so perfect, so wouldn't the Nascent Soul form an Immortal Infant? Wouldn't it be possible to become an immortal and become a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian?
Don’t even think about it!
Amid the flattery of the Kunlun elders, Sect Leader Ziwei was still maintaining the airs of a great master, but soon he revealed a faint smile.
It wasn't because he didn't have enough energy to cultivate his Qi, it was because he was so happy in his heart that he couldn't help himself.
"Changtian." Master Ziwei said slowly, his tone extremely gentle, "Since you have formed the golden elixir, you are the Kunlun Immortal from today on."
"Master grants you the Taoist name, Chang Geng."
"The journey of cultivating the Tao is long and one must not slack off. One must work hard and make progress courageously!"
Qiu Changtian nodded in agreement and sighed inwardly.
The Taoist names in this world are similar to the characters used by ancient scholars, and contain the teachings of the elders to the younger generations.
For example, the Taoist name of the head sect Ziwei alludes to the Emperor Star Ziwei, meaning that it is hoped that he can lead Kunlun to the top and become the leader of all sects in the world.
And Master Ziwei did indeed achieve this.
As for Changgeng, it refers to Venus that appears in the evening.
Venus appears in the morning and is called "Qiming"; it appears in the evening and is called "Changgeng".
The Taoist name "Chang Geng" means the current Kunlun. Under the leadership of the master, it has become very powerful. In the future, you must lead Kunlun to continue to become stronger.
In addition, according to Taoist astrology, the appearance of Chang Geng means that war is about to break out.
This also fits perfectly with the current environment where the struggle between good and evil is intensifying and chaos is beginning to emerge. Master Ziwei hopes that Qiu Changtian can become the most dazzling star in the world of great strife and prevent Kunlun from falling into dusk.
Qiu Changtian has fully understood his good intentions.
Just leave it to Junior Sister Xu!
