Jie Tian Sect Leader Lu Wen did not go into seclusion immediately.
As the leader of a sect, he had many affairs to attend to and too many things to explain, so Gu Qingfeng asked his men to keep an eye on the movements at all times.
In the following days, Gu Qingfeng did not plan to go out and make trouble, which would easily increase the risk of being exposed. He simply announced to the public that he would go into seclusion for a short period of time to consolidate his cultivation in the realm of Immortal King.
After all, once exposed, where can I find a master to pay me back... ahem... how can I start the good thing of the eternal era?
The most important thing in life is to seize opportunities and never miss a good chicken!
It's not that there is nothing to do during this period of time. The bronze pagoda has not yet been completed. This rare treasure is definitely far beyond the level of Immortal King's weapon. It is very likely to be a treasure of Immortal Lord level. Such a treasure must naturally be mastered quickly.
So Gu Qingfeng began his retreat.
During his retreat, there was an uproar in the outside world.
The first thing to be affected was the incident of the World-Destroying Demon Emperor disrupting the Immortal King Conference. This matter had already spread completely, causing panic among the entire Meteorite Abyss.
First, all the flowers in the world began to speak, letting people know that there was such a powerful and terrifying demon in the world.
But this kind of legend is just like a hot search on the Internet, it is very popular but makes people feel very far away. This Immortal King Conference is different.
The Immortal King Conference is something that everyone has been paying attention to recently, and it involves geniuses from all over the place, so it has attracted a lot of attention.
As a result, the World-Destroying Demon Emperor suddenly showed up at the Immortal King Conference and devoured the power of everyone present. This move was simply horrifying.
If Meteorite Abyss had a hot search, then the top ten hot searches at this time must all be related to the World-Destroying Demon Emperor.
For example, the World-Destroying Demon Emperor suddenly showed up at the Immortal King Conference.
The World-Destroying Demon Emperor devours the cultivation of the geniuses from all factions.
The true origin of the World-Destroying Demon Emperor.
Why is the World-Destroying Demon Emperor so powerful?
In addition to the top ten hot searches, the eleventh hot search is Jie Tian Daozi!
Jie Tian Daozi became a little famous again with the help of the title of Demon Emperor of Destruction. When everyone's cultivation was devoured, Jie Tian Daozi's cultivation not only did not regress, but he was able to rise again from the ashes and was promoted to Immortal King, which made people talk about it with relish.
The geniuses from all major forces are so envious and jealous.
Why should we have to work so hard to cultivate and recover our cultivation, while you alone break through to become an Immortal King? Is there still justice? Is there still the law?
In fact, if these geniuses knew the real situation, they would definitely not be jealous of Jie Tian Daozi, but would be grateful.
After all, you're still alive, right?
After several days of excitement in the outside world, Gu Qingfeng, who was in seclusion, finally received news from his subordinates.
Jie Tian Sect leader Lu Wen officially announced his resignation as leader and went into seclusion to avoid death.
And after stepping down, he strongly recommended Jie Tian Daozi to become the new leader.
However, this matter was opposed by many elders. Some thought that Jie Tian Daozi did not have enough qualifications, some thought that he was not strong enough as he had just advanced to the Immortal King stage, and some with higher emotional intelligence said that Jie Tian Daozi had natural talent and should concentrate on cultivation rather than being bound by the position of leader, so let me take on this burden.
The crowd was arguing and finally came up with a solution, which was to determine the winner by force.
No matter who becomes the leader, there is a basic prerequisite, that is, the strength must be able to convince the people, and strength is respected in the world of cultivation.
Of course, even in a martial arts competition, not just anyone can compete. Strength, identity, and status are all essential.
In the end, three people were selected: Shi Tianlu, Mei Ziang, and Ye Chu.
Shi Tianlu and Mei Ziang are both powerful warriors in the late stage of Immortal King. They hold the position of elders and are sufficient in both strength and qualifications.
As for Ye Chu, now Gu Qingfeng, needless to say, he has the former leader and the supreme elder Mu Yuhan as guarantors. Even if it seems that he is not good enough in all aspects, he has someone behind him.
The eve of the competition.
In front of Mu Yuhan’s bamboo house.
Gu Qingfeng was called here again.
Looking at the beautiful master in front of him, Gu Qingfeng was eager to make a move.
"Take out the Kunwu Sword." Mu Yuhan said coldly, still speaking briefly and to the point.
Gu Qingfeng did as he was told and took out the Kunwu Sword.
Mu Yuhan stretched out her crystal-clear jade-like fingers, and suddenly, an extremely bright sword light appeared from her fingertips.
It was night time, the moon was bright in the sky and the earth was smooth.
But when the sword light appeared, it seemed as if it was the bright moon, while the real bright moon became the light of a grain of rice.
whoosh!
This sword light was infused into the Kunwu Sword.
“The Kunwu Sword has lost its spirit, and its power is not as strong as before. Now I have instilled a sword intent into it. With the blessing of the sword intent, the power of the Kunwu Sword is far greater than before. With it, you will be able to defeat a late-stage Immortal King.
But don't squander it easily. Sword power is a consumable after all. It can only be used once. A single strike at the most critical moment will determine the outcome."
Gu Qingfeng nodded to show that he understood.
In fact, this is just right. Although he can easily crush a late-stage Immortal King, the problem is that he is now using the identity of Jie Tian Dao Zi. It is not easy to use strength beyond common sense, as it is easy to be exposed.
"Also, I will arrange for Shi Tianlu and Mei Ziang to fight first. After they decide the winner, you only need to deal with the winner."
Gu Qingfeng was deeply moved. It was great to have such a master! He had prepared everything for his disciples. He couldn't wait to make friends with him!
"Don't worry, Master. I won't let you wait too long."
Mu Yuhan frowned slightly, feeling that Gu Qingfeng seemed to have something else to say, but she didn't say much and just sent him away.
Obviously, the closer the competition got, the more confused her mind became.
The next day.
Gu Qingfeng continued to retreat, while the conference to select the leader of the Jie Tian Sect was in full swing.
As the largest sect in the First Star Ruins, the selection of a leader for the Jie Tian Sect naturally attracted much attention, and they sent out invitations early on, inviting heroes from all over the world to attend the ceremony.
After a set of tedious procedures, the main show began.
Shi Tianlu fights Mei Ziang.
Gu Qingfeng did not attend this battle because he was not interested in watching the battle between two late-stage Immortal Kings.
However, this also caused a lot of criticism from people, who secretly said that Jie Tian Daozi was arrogant as he did not come to participate in such a grand event, and he did not even bother to watch the competition between his two competitors or analyze their flaws, which clearly showed that he did not take the two of them seriously.
The battle lasted for three days and three nights.
The fight between the two late-stage Immortal Kings was so fierce that the sky was dark, the continent was sinking, and the sun and moon lost their light.
In the end, Shi Tianlu was better and defeated Mei Ziang.
A few days later.
After recovering, Shi Tianlu fights against Gu Qingfeng.
The number of viewers for this battle was even greater than that for the battle with Mei Ziang.
It’s just because Jie Tian Daozi is too popular.
And people really want to see how a strong man in the early stage of Immortal King competes with a strong man in the late stage of Immortal King.
The gap between the two is so huge that it is unimaginable.
Even though Jie Tian Daozi once reached the level of a quasi-immortal king and fought against an early-stage immortal king, the problem was that he was relying on the ancient immortal king's weapon, the Kunwu Sword.
Now, when fighting against a late-stage Immortal King, the advantage of the Kunwu Sword has been greatly weakened for such a strong man.
Most people are not optimistic about Jie Tiandaozi.
When Gu Qingfeng learned about the public opinion, he said that he was familiar with this routine.
The protagonist used his usual trick of pretending to be awesome and then getting slapped in the face. He achieved a comeback when no one was optimistic about him, which shocked everyone.
