Looking at the grinning Wuwei Daoist, Chen Sangruo couldn't help but complain, "It won't do the sect leader any harm, will it?"
"Once I become the sect leader, you can openly and legitimately be a hands-off manager, spending your days counting the spirit stones in your private treasury."
The Taoist Master Wuwei clicked his tongue in displeasure, puffed out his beard and glared at the man, saying, "What are you talking about? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
"It's all because your cultivation speed is too fast. If I were to hand over the position of sect leader to you later, I'm afraid you wouldn't even have been sitting in this position for a few years before you ran off to enjoy yourself in the Transcendent Realm."
"If it weren't for the soul exchange and the evil object incident, I would have handed over the sect master's token to you directly when you came out of the seclusion room after breaking through to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm."
"I don't care. Once you've taken my Young Sect Master's token, don't even think about going back on your word."
"You must do a good job as the sect leader of Ninghua Sect, make Ninghua Sect bigger and stronger, and create new glories."
"You must remain in this position for at least ten years. Even if you are to go to the Transcendent Realm later, you must first determine the successor of the sect leader for me."
This girl's breakthrough to the Void Refinement stage is very likely to be faster than his old man's. He doesn't want to relinquish the position of sect leader and then have to bring it back for a limited time in a few years.
For him, it would be better to just kill him.
"In short, you're getting this sect leader's token today, whether you want it or not. Take it." Wuwei Daoist shoved the token into Chen Sangruo's hand, acting like a rogue.
"Don't give it back to me again." With that, he slipped away and made a hasty retreat.
It was as if it wasn't a sect leader's token, but a hot potato.
Shen Sanruo looked at the old man who was running around like a thief, but was still excited about stealing several million spirit stones, and had a look of both laughter and tears on her face.
He shook his head helplessly, sighed, and finally put the token into his pocket.
In fact, there was no difference between the identities of Young Sect Master and Sect Master to her, because she had long been handling all the affairs of Ninghua Sect.
But the change in her identity still made her feel a greater sense of responsibility.
"I will make it bigger and stronger, and create new glories." She nodded silently, responded in a low voice, and then turned and left.
After all, this was a major event like changing the sect leader, so Daoist Wuwei was not so hasty as to simply throw the token to Chen Sangri and call it a day.
All the necessary rituals and procedures are included.
However, the current situation is special, and the issue of heretical cultivation has not yet been resolved, so it is not advisable to carry out large-scale activities.
The ceremony was held simply within the sect, and other sects and the Wanling Palace were not invited to Ninghua Sect. Sending congratulatory letters was sufficient.
At worst, once the matter is resolved, we can hold the same apprenticeship ceremony as before, that's what Wuwei Daoren thought.
When Mei Mei, Zhu Huaqiao, Chen Zhouxing, and Jiang Chu received this news, they all showed undisguised shock.
Back then, during the sect competition, they were the young masters standing on the competition stage alongside Shen Sangruo.
In such a short time, the other party had already become the head of a sect.
However, they did acknowledge Shen Sangruo's abilities and knew that she had been involved in the management of Ninghua Sect for a long time. They were not too surprised that she became the sect leader so early.
He sighed silently in his heart and made up his mind to work harder to emulate Chen Sangruo.
The ceremony was successfully held. The girl who was once imprisoned in a dark room and poisoned with the Seven Emotions Gu has now grown into the leader of a sect.
However, she and the others from Ninghua Sect did not bask in this joyous occasion for long, as the problem of evil cultivators still existed.
The stalemate remains unresolved.
After a month of continued searching, the deadlock finally took a slight turn for the better.
After hundreds of years of seclusion, the master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion has finally emerged and invited the Wanling Palace, Ninghua Sect, Tianjian Sect, and other top sects to a gathering, saying that he has important matters to discuss.
Shen Sanruo had been to Tianji Pavilion before, but that time it was to find clues to rescue Su Xiyu.
She also knew that the Master of Tianji Pavilion had gone into seclusion hundreds of years ago.
The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion has the most efficient information flow in the cultivation world. It has its own exclusive information network, and as long as you give enough spirit stones, you can get any information you want.
When the Wanling Palace first anticipated the evil cultivator's conspiracy, it had already visited the Tianji Pavilion and attempted to find the evil cultivator's whereabouts through the Tianji Pavilion.
However, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was only established a thousand years ago, while the evil cultivators' conspiracy began ten thousand years ago. They were unable to find any relevant information or locate the evil cultivators.
Unexpectedly, the emergence of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Master brought a new turning point to the matter of evil cultivators.
Regardless of whether they can actually provide useful information, they still have to go to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.
On the day the message from Tianji Pavilion arrived, Shen Sangruo and the others had already arrived at Tianji Pavilion.
Unlike her last visit, this time the people in the pavilion no longer treated her with indifference, but hurriedly welcomed them to the top floor of the pavilion.
That is, the place where the Master of Tianji Pavilion went into seclusion.
A young man with his eyes closed appeared in everyone's sight.
Contrary to what everyone imagined, who thought he would be a wise and venerable old man, he was actually a young man with white hair.
"You've arrived." Although he didn't open his eyes, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Master still accurately sensed their arrival.
The tone of his voice suggested that he had already anticipated their presence here.
"I wonder what the Lord of Tianji Pavilion's views are on the matter of heretical cultivators?" Gu Ci Zhenjun stood in front of the Lord of Tianji Pavilion.
"Everyone has arrived. As for the specifics, please allow me to quietly deduce the secrets of heaven." The Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion spoke unhurriedly.
"You are a diviner, able to deduce the secrets of heaven?" Shen Sanruo's eyes flickered slightly.
The others naturally also grasped the key points in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion Master's words.
They only knew that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was founded by this white-haired youth, but they did not know that the pavilion master was actually a divination cultivator.
An organization that gathers clues through an information network, but the master behind it is a diviner who can deduce the secrets of heaven.
This reminded them of another organization specifically created by Bu Xiu—Guan Tian Ge.
The Guantian Pavilion, which had nurtured a whole host of evil cultivators, was eventually wiped out in one fell swoop.
Previously, Bai Mumu impersonated the Guantian Pavilion Master in order to obtain the souls of Feng Heyun and the others.
While everyone was still pondering, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Master directly pointed out his connection with the Heavenly Observation Pavilion Master: "The former Heavenly Observation Pavilion Master was my junior brother who went astray."
Gu Ci Zhenjun and the others, who remembered the incident at Guantian Pavilion, then realized that the time when the Tianji Pavilion Master went into seclusion was right after the Guantian Pavilion Master was strangled.
"The lineage of Bu Xiu often deals with the Heavenly Dao. The temptation of prying into the secrets of Heaven is too great, and it is inevitable that some people will have ulterior motives."
"It was his fate to embark on that path of no return."
He and the Pavilion Master of Guantian Pavilion took completely different paths.
The master of Guantian Pavilion never restrained his ability to deduce heavenly secrets after creating the pavilion, and lost his true self in the process of repeated deductions.
