617 A swan in the world, graceful as a dragon in flight.
Looking at Fang Qingxue in his arms, he couldn't help but hug her tightly, a sense of decisiveness and resolve in his heart, determined never to let a similar regret happen again.
Fang Qingxue sensed her master's emotional fluctuations and gently grasped her master's hand.
The moonlight, as gentle as water, enveloped Tian Zhirui and Fang Qingxue.
The bright moonlight, like tassels, gently fell upon them, enveloping them in its radiance; they were not women of this world.
Tian Zhirui's face appeared even more stunning in the moonlight, noble and aloof, yet carrying an indescribable gentleness and warmth.
Fang Qingxue nestled in Tian Zhirui's arms, her face resembling Tian's, revealing a fresh and refined beauty, as lively and lovely as a fairy under the moon.
A breathtaking sight, graceful as a dragon in flight, worthy of being admired from afar but not to be profaned!
Within the Mysterious Supreme Sect, Sect Leader Tong, dressed in a white Dharma robe, possessed a solemn gaze and a calm brow, exuding an air of dignity and mystery!
Sect Leader Tong is not only the highest leader of the sect, but also the one with the highest cultivation level, and a legendary figure in the cultivation world.
During the previous dynasty, the former leader of the Xuanmiao Supreme Sect, on the verge of death, was entrusted with the responsibility of leading the Nagato sect.
At that time, he was already 350 years old. Although he had profound cultivation, he was too old and his potential was exhausted.
However, he was blessed with good fortune. After taking over the leadership of the sect, his progress was even more rapid. In just ten years, he successfully broke through the shackles of cultivation and advanced to the Martial Emperor.
This achievement shocked the cultivation world, causing sects that had been eyeing the Xuanmiao Supreme Sect and waiting for their successor to die to immediately reconsider their intentions.
Since then, Master Tong has led the Xuanmiao Supreme Sect through trials and tribulations in the cultivation world, remaining steadfast and unyielding.
Although it is said that Empress Wu lived to be five hundred years old, very few people were likely to live to the end.
Living for four hundred years is not a short lifespan.
Master Tong's breakthrough just before his death was truly earth-shattering and awe-inspiring, giving hope to many who were nearing their end, prompting them to enter a final, desperate struggle.
But it was only Sect Leader Tong who broke through to the Martial Emperor level; no one else has been heard of.
He had also fought with the Holy Emperor, but did not go into seclusion. His injuries may not have been serious, perhaps because he knew that the overall situation was more important, so he did not choose to go into seclusion to heal.
By understanding the big picture and practicing proper etiquette, the profound and mysterious Taishang Sect has been able to maintain its thousand-year-old tradition.
Moreover, he was broad-minded and sincerely accepted Tian Zhirui, appointing her as an elder in the sect and giving her a sacred mountain to occupy, without any mandatory mission assignments.
To date, Tian Zhirui has not contributed much to the teachings.
The position of elder not only represents a lofty status, but also means taking on greater responsibilities and missions.
However, Sect Leader Tong granted Tian Zhirui great freedom, allowing her to occupy a spiritual mountain, and without any mandatory mission assignments.
Such treatment was unprecedented in the Xuanmiao Taishang Sect.
The special treatment that Sect Leader Tong gave to Tian Zhirui naturally led to the gradual emergence of rumors and gossip.
In particular, although Tian Zhirui's face was veiled, her figure was exquisite and her whole temperament was like that of an immortal, holy and pure. She was the most beautiful woman in the sect, desired but unattainable, as if she were the sect leader's private possession.
Many elders felt a pang of envy, but dared not speak it!
But as time went by, rumors and speculations about Tian Zhirui gradually increased within the sect.
Because Tian Zhirui did not contribute as much to the sect as the other elders, and enjoyed extremely high treatment and abundant resources, the other elders in the sect began to feel dissatisfied and suspicious of her existence.
The longer it went on, the more they felt it was unfair and dissatisfied, and they hoped to get a share of the resources in Tian Zhirui's hands so that they could benefit more.
As time went on, this discontent spread among the elders, and some even began to secretly plot to weaken Tian Zhirui's status and influence.
We hope to use some means to get Tian Zhirui to voluntarily hand over the resources she has, or at least to make her make more contributions to the church.
But Tian Zhirui didn't seem to care about this. She maintained her own cultivation rhythm and never interfered in the affairs of the sect, remaining detached from worldly matters.
In particular, Tian Zhirui had taken on a disciple, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the disciple resembled her, and they couldn't help but burst out.
The goddess in my heart has a daughter, and she's already so grown up. The jealousy I feel is like a burning fire, it's truly indescribable!
For a long time, the disciples and elders regarded Elder Tian Zhirui as a sacred place in their hearts and never imagined that she would have a daughter.
This sudden news, seeing their daughter with their own eyes, and knowing she was so grown up, was undoubtedly a huge blow to them, even more painful than being hit on the head.
My heart was filled with resentment and disappointment, as if my world had collapsed in an instant.
Jealousy burns fiercely in your heart, causing you immense pain, irritability, and hostility.
They even started secretly plotting something!
Jealousy arises from not being able to have something; this kind of feeling burns like a demonic fire, as if even the air itself is ignited, spontaneously combusting without a flame!
Behind the sect leader, Elder Yue looked exhausted, his eyes revealing deep worry. He tried to speak several times, but looking at the sect leader's calm and resolute back, he swallowed his words.
The Miao Tai Shang Sect is facing an unprecedented crisis. The spiritual energy in the spiritual land is dissipating at an increasingly rapid pace, while the distribution of Thunder Spirit Fruits is becoming increasingly strained.
Of the Thunder Spirit Fruits from last time, aside from the one or two taken by the Demon Slayer Division Chief, the rest were distributed to Tian Zhirui and two other disciples, with the rest not being distributed.
Thunder Spirit Fruit is a key ingredient in refining Thunder Spirit Pills, which in turn are essential for improving cultivation and enhancing strength.
However, due to insufficient distribution, the number of Thunder Spirit Pills produced was far from meeting the needs of the disciples in the sect.
The elder knew the seriousness of this crisis, because the matter could not be kept secret for long; the disciples in the sect would gradually find out.
More importantly, the sect's position in the spiritual community may be shaken as a result.
However, looking at the composed sect leader, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and quietly waited.
Master Tong slowly turned around, his face showing signs of middle age, as if time had not changed him.
Seeing Elder Yue's tired and worried expression, Sect Leader Tong felt a slight warmth in his heart. He knew that Elder Yue had always been devoted to the Xuanmiao Supreme Sect and had devoted much effort to the sect's prosperity and long-term development.
In this time of crisis, Elder Yue's worry and exhaustion further demonstrated his loyalty and responsibility to the sect.
Involuntarily, another figure flashed through his mind—Tian Zhirui.
Her unparalleled beauty and unfathomable strength were also unforgettable to him.
