When these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke out in objection.
Because everyone present knew that Old Lady Mu was not only the undisputed leader of the Tiansha clan, but also the most powerful person in the clan.
Her decisions are never questioned.
Then, Old Lady Mu continued, "From my observation, Lu Jingzhi has extraordinary potential. Given time, he will surely lead the family to glory."
"Therefore, I propose that he be the new patriarch of the family."
Upon hearing this proposal, the first and second elders of the clan who originally held opposing opinions suddenly became silent and did not even dare to breathe.
Although they may not be afraid of Mu Zhenhua on a normal day, they dare not act rashly in the face of the majesty of Old Lady Mu.
Mu Zhenhua, who had been standing behind Old Lady Mu, nodded slightly upon hearing this, indicating that he agreed with Old Lady Mu's decision.
However, he still had a trace of doubt in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "Mom, there is one more thing I need to consider."
"Now Jingzhi wants to intervene in the affairs of the demon tribe. Should I help him?"
Boom boom boom…
Old Lady Mu banged her cane with anger on her face. "If you're unwilling to help them, do you still expect them to willingly lead the Tiansha Clan back to the Holy Land Center?"
"How can he naturally assume the position of clan leader?"
"Although he shares the same blood as us, the emotional connection between us is not deep."
Old Mrs. Mu calmed down a little and continued speaking earnestly.
"Why are you so short-sighted?"
"Can't you look further ahead?" Old Mrs. Mu glared at Mu Zhenhua who was standing beside her with dissatisfaction.
At this moment, the unwilling elder of the clan couldn't help but speak out in rebuttal.
"Cousin, the demon tribe and the evil soul tribe have joined forces. This is a force that we cannot contend with."
"To act in this way is equivalent to pushing the entire family into the fire pit with your own hands, isn't it?"
When Old Lady Mu heard this, she turned around abruptly and stared at the elder in front of her who was her cousin.
Without saying a word, she raised the cane in her hand high and hit the elder's arm mercilessly.
There was a crisp "pop" sound, and the crutch hit the elder's arm hard.
"What a useless coward!" Old Mrs. Mu scolded loudly.
The beaten elder quickly covered his injured arm. Although he didn't dare to say another word, it could be seen from his expression that he was still full of unconvinced.
He still had doubts about Mrs. Mu's decision.
Old Lady Mu no longer paid attention to the elders and began to explain to everyone, "With Jingzhi's extraordinary talent, he will definitely be able to enter the realm of saints in the future, and may even reach the supreme realm that countless powerful people can't even dream of."
Everyone behind him was dumbfounded and looked at each other. No one had expected that Mrs. Mu, who was always picky and demanding, would give him such a high evaluation!
Mu Zhenhua looked at his mother with suspicion, and asked again in disbelief, "Mom, are you serious about what you just said?"
"Do you really think Jingzhi has a chance of reaching that legendary supreme realm?"
Old Lady Mu nodded slightly, her eyes firm and full of expectation as she said, "Yes, I believe that with Jingzhi's talent and potential, he will be able to achieve something in time."
"So no matter what, you must do your best to assist him."
"Whether our family can regain its former glory in the future, or even reach the pinnacle, all depends on him."
After she finished speaking, Old Lady Mu's figure flashed and she disappeared from the spot without a trace in an instant.
Only a group of people were left in a state of shock, looking at each other in confusion, at a loss as to what to do.
Niu Tianzong——
Xuanlei Tower——
At this moment, on the top of the towering tower, Lu Jingzhi was sitting alone with his legs crossed.
He closed his eyes, his face was tense and his expression was extremely solemn.
Accompanied by the extremely violent power of thunder and lightning in the sky, it swept towards him madly, hitting his body violently wave after wave.
In an instant, all the meridians in his body expanded, and each vein was clearly visible.
It seemed as if it would collapse at any moment due to being unable to bear such enormous pressure and eventually explode completely.
However, even in the face of such an extremely dangerous situation, Lu Jingzhi still clenched his teeth tightly, and there were bursts of chattering sounds between his teeth.
[This lightning elf, it seems to be well-fed, yet it leaves all the sins to me alone to bear!]
Lu Jingzhi secretly groaned in his heart and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
[Although this is painful, my cultivation level is still increasing rapidly.]
Time passes...
At this moment, the aura emanating from Lu Jingzhi's body was like a surging tide, with each wave higher than the last, becoming increasingly majestic and powerful.
Suddenly—
"Bang!" A muffled sound was heard coming from his body.
Then there was another loud "boom".
In an instant, dark clouds rolled in from the sky, quickly gathered together, and circled above Lu Jingzhi's head at an astonishing speed.
Gradually, a huge vortex of dark clouds formed.
There were lightning and thunder in the vortex. Blue lightning danced like silver snakes, weaving freely in the dark clouds, illuminating the entire world in a pale white.
Such a scene naturally attracted the attention of everyone in Niu Tianzong. Many disciples and elders quickly stepped out of the room, looked up at the sky, and their faces showed astonishment.
Among the crowd, Mu Jin's gaze was particularly anxious. She stared at Lu Jingzhi on the top of the tower, her eyes full of joy.
You know, she has been waiting here for many days, and now she finally sees Lu Jingzhi make a breakthrough.
At this moment, Lu Jingzhi slowly opened his eyes, but there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
I saw an extremely powerful aura gushing out from his body, instantly sweeping around. It was the terrifying aura of the peak of the Xuanhuang realm!
"Oh, it seems that I can't break through to the Sky-stepping Realm by my own strength. I still have to rely on the Sky-stepping Pill." Lu Jingzhi sighed and shook his head helplessly.
"Son, congratulations on your successful breakthrough to the peak of the Xuanhuang Realm!" Mu Jin walked up quickly and looked at Lu Jingzhi with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Lu Jingzhi turned to face Mu Jin, "Mom, I'm still a step away from truly reaching the Sky-Stepping Realm."
"But don't worry, I will first consolidate my current cultivation, and then look for an opportunity to reach the Sky-Stepping Realm."
