You Call This Praising Chu Xinghe to Death?
Chu Xinghe didn't know how much revenue the Credit Plan brought to the Vast Heaven Sect.
All Chu Xinghe knew was that he had been promoted from an ordinary elite disciple to a senior elite disciple without saying a word, and he had also inadvertently set a record for the fastest promotion after being stripped of his identity!
Once someone's identity is stripped, they're basically finished.
But after Chu Xinghe's identity was stripped, his rate of improvement became even more terrifying than before...
The sect leader even expressed his willingness to accept Xinghe as his personal disciple on the spot, but this was met with unanimous opposition from all the elders, led by the Grand Elder. The sect leader then suggested that Xinghe come to the Haotian Palace as a core disciple, but this was also met with strong opposition. In the end, he could only be promoted to a senior elite disciple.
What? You say there weren't any high-level elite disciples before? Now there are!
As for the resources that the various sects had frantically repaid, Chu Xinghe was so angry he almost peed himself.
Improve the treatment of all Vast Heaven Sect disciples!
Crazy boost!
Our Vast Heaven Sect is so rich we don't even know what we've done with all that money, do you know that?
All inner disciples will receive double the resources... Outer disciples will receive the same resources as inner disciples used to!
There are also miner disciples. From now on, miner disciples should be given the same resources as the outer disciples in the past, and they should be promoted accordingly.
Logically speaking, Chu Xinghe, as a senior elite disciple, should not be qualified to do this. However, after Chu Xinghe proposed this, neither the sect leader nor any of the elders said a word. All the disciples consciously carried out the plan proposed by Xinghe. After all, Senior Brother Xinghe is a senior elite disciple. You tell me how senior he is.
Of course, in private, his fellow disciples were extremely grateful to Xinghe.
Although the resources our Vast Heaven Sect provides are already outrageously generous, who would care if they were even more outrageous?
Not only did everyone within the Vast Heaven Sect praise Xinghe, but the outside world's evaluation of Xinghe was even more terrifying.
The claims that Chu Xinghe's wisdom borders on the demonic, or that he is a master strategist, are all positive.
There will never be a shortage of bad people in this world, and soon the news spread and Chu Xinghe became known as the most benevolent and righteous man.
Chu Xinghe has already surpassed Gu Mingchao...
Chu Xinghe is the most talented disciple in the history of the Vast Heaven Sect. Gu Mingchao is no match for Chu Xinghe at all!
It's hard to say where the news came from, but it was definitely a case of wildly praising Chu Xinghe to the point of destruction.
The rumors, especially those suggesting that Gu Mingchao should abdicate and make way for a more capable person, are particularly despicable.
Because in most sects, even if you are the sect leader's personal disciple, you cannot guarantee that you will definitely be the Future successor.
Which of the outstanding disciples from each sect wasn't giving it their all to showcase their abilities?
What's the purpose? Isn't it to show the sect's bigwigs how outstanding they are, and to show them that they deserve better?
If it were just a display, that would be one thing, but there are countless sects whose disciples seem so kind on the surface, yet they turn around and stab each other in the back.
If I get rid of you, I'll have a chance to rise to a higher position. Intrigue and backstabbing are nothing; after all, only those who stand at the very top deserve to be called successful.
So countless rumors of praising Chu Xinghe to the point of ruin spread like wildfire, but after several days... those shady characters hiding in the shadows wondered, why the Vast Heaven Sect wasn't reacting at all?
We all say Gu Mingchao should step down and make way for a more capable person... We all say Chu Xinghe has surpassed Gu Mingchao...
Doesn't your Vast Heaven Sect have any reaction at all?
Following the usual pattern, even if Gu Mingchao doesn't say anything... shouldn't the disciples below jump out and cause trouble?
Look at some sects, they'll stop at nothing to climb to the top, framing and slander are considered legitimate means.
Aren't any of you Vast Heaven Sect disciples going to do anything? Other disciples, hurry up and smear Chu Xinghe! Gu Mingchao, you'd better make things difficult for Chu Xinghe!
Gu Mingchao had, of course, heard the rumors circulating outside.
Gu Mingchao agreed with the outside world's assertion that Xinghe had surpassed him.
Compared to Xinghe at my age, the gap between Xinghe is just too big...
As for those who said he should step down and yield to a more capable person, Gu Mingchao felt they were too late. In fact, he had this idea last year, mainly because Xinghe's cultivation level hadn't reached that level yet. If he had reached the cultivation level of Martial Emperor, Gu Mingchao would have immediately proclaimed himself a Supreme Elder.
What do you mean by praising Xinghe to the point of ruin?
Gu Mingchao found it utterly absurd... Was what they called "praising someone to death"?
"Praise to death" means elevating someone to a height they shouldn't have; that's called "praise to death." But the height you've raised Xinghe to is completely below Xinghe's original height.
You guys think that's some kind of Black Xinghe?
Comparing me to Xinghe? Even the tenth generation Great Emperor Haotian the Vast Heaven Sect isn't considered outstanding compared to Xinghe! Aren't your methods of flattery a bit too outrageous? Are you afraid to flatter me to an even higher level?
As for the disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect, their reaction to the outside world's excessive praise was the same as that of the sect leader.
You consider that praising someone to the point of harm?
You have no idea about Junior Brother Xinghe! Look at us, ever since Junior Brother Xinghe came to the Vast Heaven Sect, our Vast Heaven Sect has become invincible!
The resources we disciples have accumulated have increased exponentially; even we ourselves feel that having so many resources is somewhat insane.
But listen to what Junior Brother Xinghe has to say...
Junior Brother Xinghe declared he would continue to provide us with more resources without warning. Anyone who dares to challenge Junior Brother Xinghe will be the first to stand up and cripple him!
Do you have the abilities of Junior Brother Xinghe?
Do you have the skills of Junior Brother Xinghe?
You have absolutely nothing, so what makes you think you can compete with Junior Brother Xinghe?
You need to be qualified to participate. If you don't even have a ticket, what are you doing trying to participate?!
However, this kind of flattery wasn't entirely ineffective. As the praise continued to spread, the disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect began to stir up trouble.
That day, Ma Liang emerged from Chu Cheng's room, panting. Ma Liang now truly understood Xiaobo's pain... Educating Chu Cheng was no easy task.
However, compared to this, Ma Liang felt that the atmosphere among the disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect had been somewhat different recently.
They all started fighting at the drop of a hat.
Of course, this competition wasn't because of Senior Brother Xinghe; Ma Liang felt that this competition was somewhat aimed at him.
Listen to what Senior Brother Feng Fei has to say...
What makes you so sure that you'll inevitably become Junior Brother Xinghe's best assistant in the future?
Did you ask me about Ma Liang?
I, Ma Liang, am Senior Brother Xinghe's most trusted confidant! Senior Brother Feng Fei, wouldn't it be better for you to just obediently be the King of the Wuj iang?
You have no chance of winning if you keep going like this, you know that?
To be honest, it's one thing for Senior Brother Feng to be eccentric, but that little brat Mu Bai has also become quite successful. The other day when I was scolding him, he immediately expressed his gratitude to Senior Brother Ma Liang for his guidance and said that he would definitely assist Senior Brother Xinghe in the future.
Listen to this, is this even human language?
What do you mean by "just assist Senior Brother Xinghe"?
In terms of assisting Senior Brother Xinghe, how dare you Mu Bai, compare to me Ma Liang?
So what if you're a little more talented, better at alchemy, and have cultivated the Crystal of Xinghe? Are you even that much stronger?
Besides these, what else do you have?
That Ouyang Ming is shameless! What do you mean the Ouyang Lineage is Senior Brother Xinghe's strongest backer?
Have you no shame? Isn't your Ouyang Lineage just a bunch of blacksmiths?
Wouldn't it be better to just stay in the Artifact Refining Palace and become the Head Elder? Do you really want to compete with me Ma Liang, for the position of Grand Elder?
I, Ma Liang, am putting this out there: none of you are going to take Senior Brother Xinghe's position as the number one supporter away from me!
You think you can play the same Ma Liang game of cutthroat competition with me? I'll make sure you all suffer!
At the Spirit Crane Palace, Chu Xinghe didn't know if Ma Liang could actually kill someone. All Chu Xinghe knew was, why was things taking such a strange turn?
I was just trying to pay off my debts, so why did it cause such a stir?
You guys just gave me back all the debt I'd already paid off without a second thought, and even doubled it! Did you even consider how I felt?
That was bad enough, but when Chu Xinghe first heard the outside world praising him to the point of exhaustion, he was incredibly excited.
According to the usual pattern, faced with so many voices praising them, wouldn't a few disciples from the sect jump out and express their dissatisfaction?
Shouldn't you roll it up yourself?
Chu Xinghe is all prepared. Fellow senior brothers and sisters, if any of you open the book, I, Chu Xinghe, will immediately admit defeat and bow down in submission, shall I?
But what the hell is it that not a single one jumped out?
No... it's not that no one has jumped ship... I heard quite a few have jumped ship recently, and they've been making a huge fuss over who is the most trusted confidant in the Xinghe.
Even the usually taciturn Feng Yuzheng spoke up.
Yuzheng declared, "Although I haven't fully mastered the Divine Engraving Technique yet, from the moment I do, you will have no chance anymore..."
Isn't the direction you guys are taking a bit too far?
Forget about considering my feelings; have you even considered the Grand Elder's feelings?
Especially that bastard Ma Liang, who openly declared that he would definitely become the Grand Elder in the Future without saying a word. I heard that because of this, the Grand Elder was so angry that he punished him by making him clean the various palaces.
This guy was actually quite smug, saying, "Look... the Grand Elder is letting me familiarize myself with the various palaces in advance!"
Ma Liang, do you have any shame?
Regardless of Ma Liang's shamelessness, Chu Xinghe swore to the heavens that he would never again do anything like paying off debts.
I was originally planning to find some even older and more bizarre debts to pay off.
But given the current situation, if I were to repay it again, who knows what kind of trouble might arise.
Therefore, Chu Xinghe decided to give up.
But just as he lay down, Senior Brother Shen Chun suddenly appeared from some unexpected corner.
"Junior Brother Xinghe, the Sect Master is holding a sect assembly at the Haotian Palace today and wants you to attend as well."
Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
"It should be a good thing!"
Chu Xinghe: "..."
Is this a never-ending series of good things?
Despite his reluctance, Chu Xinghe arrived at the Haotian Palace as scheduled, and soon he learned what had happened.
Millennial Grand Sacrifice!
The sect leader convened this sect assembly because of the Millennial Grand Sacrifice. When Chu Xinghe heard about the Millennial Grand Sacrifice, his eyes lit up.
Senior Brother Shen Chun was absolutely right this time; it's really a good thing!
This is fantastic news!
This Millennial Grand Sacrifice is the most solemn and grand event on the Blazing Sun Continent. Most importantly, this Millennial Grand Sacrifice is hosted by the Vast Heaven Sect, which will naturally bear all the expenses.
Most importantly, this Millennial Grand Sacrifice is not a wedding, so we don't accept any monetary gifts!
We're purely giving!
Such a grand and solemn event, and they don't even accept donations! If I, Chu Xinghe, were to organize it, wouldn't I bankrupt the sect?
Now tell me how to lose!
