Zhou Xingdou's visit here was not for leisure. Although he had the intention of seeing Tian Jiu'er, his more important goal was the position of Daoist Child of Xuantian Dao Sect.
The disciples of the Xuantian Dao Sect are divided into outer disciples, inner disciples, true disciples, personal disciples, chief disciples, and Dao sons.
Both outer and inner disciples are newly recruited disciples of the Xuantian Dao Sect each year. For an inner disciple to be promoted to a true disciple, they must be selected by an elder of the peak to enter either the Nine Profound or Nine Heavens Peaks, or they must possess exceptional talent.
Personal disciples, on the other hand, must become the closed-door disciples of the elders or the disciples of the peak master, and then pass through layers of tests before they can be promoted.
The chief disciple is the head of the disciples of a peak. There are only two such disciples in the entire Xuantian Dao Sect. One is Zhou Xingdou, and the other is Fang Tianyang, the disciple of the peak master of Jiutian Peak, who possesses the Primordial Spirit Body.
The position of Daozi is stronger than that of the chief disciple. Although they are disciples, their status and treatment are equivalent to those of senior elders. They can gain a voice in the sect and receive strong support from the sect's resources.
Moreover, becoming a Dao Child also means that he will be the future sect leader and the face of the Xuantian Dao Sect.
The Xuantian Dao Sect now has several thousand outer disciples and several hundred inner disciples, but the true disciples and personal disciples of the two peaks combined number no more than twenty.
The position of Daozi has remained vacant for a long time.
Strangely enough, the Xuantian Dao Sect, as a powerful force, ranks among the top forces in the Primordial Realm, with a history spanning countless eras, and its sect leader, Xuanjizi, is the number one person in the Primordial Dao Domain.
However, there are very few outstanding talents of Zhou Xingdou's generation, and there is even a gap in their numbers.
In her previous life, Tian Jiu'er had said:
"Currently, there are only two people in the Xuantian Dao Sect who can be called geniuses. One is you, Zhou Xingdou, the other half is your senior sister, and the other half is Fang Tianyang."
And you've been hiding your strength and have no interest in cultivation. My Xuantian Dao Sect can't even produce a single perfect person right now!
Indeed, Zhou Xingdou was well aware of the saying in his previous life from the novels he lived in: "The tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind."
He concealed his cultivation level while at the Xuantian Dao Sect. After finding Lin Fan, the chosen one, his cultivation became even more sporadic. Otherwise, he wouldn't still be stuck at the True Person realm.
At this moment, apart from his master, the sect knew that his cultivation level was merely at the critical juncture of life.
All of this seemed to be paving the way for Lin Fan, making him the focus of the sect the moment he rose to power, and the position of Dao Child seemed to be prepared for him.
Upon hearing Zhou Xingdou's words, a hint of amusement flashed in Tian Jiu'er's bright eyes as she looked at Zhou Xingdou and slowly said:
"What? You're not going to keep your skills hidden anymore?"
Zhou Xingdou remained silent, but his perfectly perfect and flawless cultivation aura, reaching its peak, suddenly erupted, causing his sleeves to flap loudly as the air currents vibrated.
Tian Jiu'er's usually aloof and unchanging face now showed a hint of surprise, and her tone even carried a touch of excitement:
"Supreme Dao Foundation! You actually cultivated the Supreme Dao Foundation!"
Zhou Xingdou was slightly puzzled, but he guessed that the supreme foundation Tian Jiu'er mentioned was probably the same as the supreme foundation given by the system, since the two differed by only one word.
But a hint of arrogance also flickered in his eyes. He raised his right hand and gently clenched it, instantly stirring up countless gusts of air:
"Through the endless ages, no one can surpass me in the foundation of the theory of all heavens and myriad realms!"
Tian Jiu'er did not deny it, and slowly nodded, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed as she said:
"I originally thought you had no interest in cultivation, but I didn't expect your vision and ambition to be so far-reaching!"
As she spoke of this, a faint smile curved the corners of Tian Jiu'er's lips, as if she were laughing, and she sighed:
"It seems I underestimated you after all."
Hearing Tian Jiu'er's words, Zhou Xingdou felt a little ashamed. After all, this supreme foundation was entirely thanks to the system. If he hadn't been reborn, calling him a complete idiot and a piece of trash in his previous life would have been an insult to the word.
Tian Jiu'er was, after all, a sword immortal of her generation. In a short while, she regained her composure and looked at Zhou Xingdou, slowly saying:
“I will discuss this matter with the sect leader. However, as the young master of the Zhou family, you now want the position of Dao Child. Others in the sect will inevitably have objections.”
Zhou Xingdou shook his head, his gaze fixed firmly on Tian Jiu'er:
"All I need is your support; I will discuss the rest with the sect leader."
To be honest, he didn't have much desire for the position of Daozi, since he didn't lack resources. As for the position of sect leader of Xuantian Dao Sect, he didn't care as much as the head of the Zhou family.
This move is to first occupy the position of Daozi. Once the position of Daozi is determined, it is impossible to replace him unless he dies or commits an extremely serious mistake.
This is also why the Xuantian Dao Sect has never appointed a Dao Child.
This would cut off Lin Fan's normal path to advancement, which would inevitably have an impact on him.
Moreover, he still possesses the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force and the Body Sublimation technique that he has not yet extracted. Once this matter is resolved and he returns to seclusion, he will become unimaginably powerful.
Who else but him deserves the position of Daozi!
After a long silence, Tian Jiu'er, lost in thought, softly spoke:
“From the moment I accepted you, you should have known that I would always support you. The position of Dao Child should have been yours in my eyes.”
Zhou Xingdou nodded slightly. He naturally knew that Tian Jiu'er would support him unconditionally, and then spoke again:
"There's one more thing. If I kill Lin Fan, will you have any objections?"
Tian Jiu'er remained calm, unmoved by Zhou Xingdou's words, and said indifferently:
“If you hadn’t begged me, I wouldn’t have accepted him as a disciple. You brought him here, so you can decide what to do with him.”
"Okay, I understand."
Having said that, Zhou Xingdou said no more. He had said what he needed to say and seen what he needed to see, and now he turned to leave.
But just as he took a step, the clear, ethereal voice of the peerless fairy behind him suddenly rang out:
"You seem to have changed a lot overnight."
Zhou Xingdou's lips twitched slightly, revealing a hint of unease as he said:
"Perhaps, a person can grow up in a minute."
Tian Jiu'er naturally said no more, but before Zhou Xingdou stepped out of the palace gate, she uttered a final celestial melody:
"The saint behind you can serve as a guest elder at Nine Profound Peak."
Then he fell silent, and that peerless, independent figure disappeared as if he had never appeared.
As Zhou Xingdou stepped out of the Nine Profound Palace, even if he could lead Fahai through layers of formations without being discovered, it would be impossible to hide it from everyone, and Tian Jiu'er would certainly be even more undetectable.
Tian Jiu'er's actions were naturally intended to give Fahai an identity, so that he wouldn't be caught in a compromising situation later.
Guest elders of Nine Profound Peak enjoy the same treatment as the elders within the peak, thus no longer being outsiders. They can freely enter and leave the sect, except for various places on Profound Heaven Peak, which saves Zhou Xingdou a lot of trouble.
However, what is most important to Zhou Xingdou at this moment are the items he has stored in the system warehouse: the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force and the physical enhancement.
Extracting it at Jiuxuan Peak is undoubtedly the safest option. Even if there are extraordinary phenomena, the Xuantian Dao Sect will protect it, and Tian Jiu'er will be by its side.
At least in this realm, no one has dared to break into the Xuantian Dao Sect's mountain gate and assassinate its chief disciple.
Stephen Chow also wanted to give Lin Fan a little shock.
