The Vice Sect Master Just Needs to Be a Mascot!

Core disciple Chu Xinghe has been feeling unwell these past two days... extremely unwell...

The main problem isn't with the core disciples, but with the Millennial Grand Sacrifice.

Chu Xinghe himself didn't know whether this Millennial Grand Sacrifice should be considered a success or a failure.

You might say it wasn't successful... but he broke through... finally reaching the coveted Seventh Rank Martial Saint cultivation level. Coupled with the effects of his Shedding the Mortal Frame and Exchanging the Bones, Chu Xinghe declared that although he was only Seventh Rank Martial Saint, his combat power was truly maxed out.

But if you're talking about success... the sect leader can become Martial God without a second thought, which makes the Vast Heaven Sect's position as the number one sect in the world as secure as a rock.

In the past, there were always people who would make a scene with the Vast Heaven Sect, such as the Cloud Firmament Sect. Last time, when the Great Moon Kingdom was in trouble, the Cloud Firmament Sect even dared to send a message via spirit bird to question their sect leader.

However, ever since the sect leader entered the realm of Martial God, a small-scale conflict broke out between the sect disciples and the Cloud Firmament Sect yesterday, resulting in two Cloud Firmament Sect disciples having their legs broken by the Vast Heaven Sect disciples.

As a result, the sect leader immediately sent a message via a spirit bird to question Xing Yushen, the Cloud Firmament Sect.

In the past, wouldn't Xing Yushen have jumped out and confronted Gu Mingchao?

But guess how the Cloud Firmament Sect responded?

It was all the fault of the Cloud Firmament Sect disciples, and the Cloud Firmament Sect disciples were punished. They also sent a lot of resources to compensate the Vast Heaven Sect disciples who had assaulted people.

It wasn't that Xing Yushen was cowardly; it was mainly because the Martial God's oppressive power was too strong.

In the past, everyone was Martial Emperor. Even if Xing Yushen was no match for Gu Mingchao, they could still go toe-to-toe and have a friendly match. Even if he lost, it wouldn't be a bad defeat, right?

But now it's completely different... Going up against Martial God? Although Xing Yushen is not far from becoming Half-Step Martial God, Xing Yushen doesn't think he's qualified to go up against Gu Mingchao before he reaches Half-Step Martial God level.

Is that supposed to be a lane matchup? That's a newbie pro taunting a max-level world boss!

The disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect can break the legs of the disciples of the Cloud Firmament Sect, Gu Mingchao can break Xing Yushen's legs just as easily!

Moreover, who in the entire sect doesn't know that Sect Gu Mingchao has been in a bad mood these past two days?

I heard that after becoming Martial God, our sect leader's first meeting resulted in all the sect elders spraying him in the face.

What kind of Martial God Gu Mingchao... Believe it or not, we'll dismiss you on the spot!

You're Martial God outside, but at home you're just a sect leader!

Even if you're Martial God at home, you still have to put up with it!

However, while Sect Gu Mingchao is relentlessly criticized at home, he is truly ruthless to outsiders.

I heard that in just the last few days, several major sects have expressed their willingness to become vassals of the Vast Heaven Sect. If it were in the past, the sect leader would probably have agreed on the spot, but now the sect leader says he needs to observe them further...

Several forces that used to have conflicts with the Vast Heaven Sect have all become obedient now, because you can never be sure that one day you're walking on a deserted path when a self-proclaimed Martial God from the Demonic Sect suddenly appears out of nowhere and slaps you to death.

What? You're saying Martial God only Gu Mingchao, a martial god, could exist in the Demonic Sect? So it can't be the Demonic Sect?

So you know Gu Mingchao is Martial God? I'm asking you, do you dare say that?

So what if Gu Mingchao doesn't dare to kill you?

Therefore, in a short period of time, the Vast Heaven Sect, which was originally the number one sect in the world, is now invincible.

That's not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that the Great Sage found the Sect Master without saying a word and said that the Martial God was not the limit. In their era, the Sect Master's cultivation level was called Quasi-God, which is just an entry-level Demigod.

Above the Quasi-Gods are the Mystic Gods and the true Main Gods; only those who reach the Main God realm are truly invincible.

Previously, this world was devoid of Spiritual Qi; not only could Main God not be born, but even Quasi-God could not be born. But now that Spiritual Qi has revived, Sect Master, you can strive for an even higher realm...

Even if we can't reach the level of a Main God, there's nothing wrong with trying to become a Mystic God. In fact, the Great Sage personally explained to the sect leader what Mystic God is and how to cultivate Mystic God, directly opening the door to a whole new world for the sect leader.

Even more terrifying was when the sect leader asked the Great Sage about his cultivation level, the Great Sage replied that he was only a peak Mystic God before, still some distance from Main God...

Now that Spiritual Qi is reviving, the Great Sage said that given enough time, it's not entirely impossible for him to recover to the Peak Mystic God.

Is this even human language?

While everyone else is desperately trying to figure out how to reach the Martial God realm, they're racking their brains to the point of baldness.

You guys are already trying to break through to the Mystic God... At this rate, when will my Vast Heaven Sect ever be destroyed?

Chu Xinghe even couldn't help but want to persuade the sect leader, "Why don't we just disband the sect... What's the point of being so invincible?"

But the bad news didn't stop because of Chu Xinghe's grief; those two bastards, Lu Chengqing and Ma Liang, wouldn't stop for a moment.

People used to say that Lu Chengqing held a pivotal position in the entertainment industry, but now Lu Chengqing has a new nickname... King of Entertainment!

Since taking control of the Haotian Mirror, Lu Chengqing has become even more of Martial God in the entertainment industry Martial God.

Now, Lu Chengqing's words are like imperial edicts to any musician or actor.

The foremost musician in Guan Zhongming, isn't he?

Tomorrow, Haotian Tower will be performing the second part of "Chu Ahe Bravely Seizes the Supreme Bone." Would you like to come and help out?

In the past, Guan Zhongming's stature could have declined the offer.

But now Guan Zhongming doesn't even need to reply; he just needs to arrive on time after receiving the message.

What? You, Guan Zhongming, don't think you're so great just because you put on a solo performance in the Battle to Vanquish Evil, do you?

Do you believe that I, Lu Chengqing, with the Haotian Mirror in hand, can completely seal off your Guan Zhongming?

So whether the entertainment industry is in chaos or not, Lu Chengqing has the final say.

Lu Chengqing said if you're going to become famous, then you'll become famous whether you want to or not. Lu Chengqing said if you're going to fall, then no matter how strong you are, you can forget about ever getting ahead.

However, Lu Chengqing had no time to deal with minor musicians and actors. The day after the Millennial Grand Sacrifice ended, Lu Chengqing, as the most trusted confidant, eagerly followed his outer disciple, Senior Brother Ma Liang, to various sects to discuss advertising matters.

Don't let Lu Chengqing's reputation as the king of entertainment fool you; in front of Ma Liang, he's a complete shrew, serving tea and water.

Lu Chengqing is the King of Entertainment, not the King of Foolishness. He knows very well how he became the King of Entertainment... Even without Senior Brother Xinghe saying a word, the Future Grand Elder, Senior Brother Ma Liang, could change the King of Entertainment with just one sentence.

Lu Chengqing listening to Senior Brother Ma Liang recount his past with Senior Brother Xinghe, Lu Chengqing remarked that Senior Brother Ma Liang was truly the Wise One.

Not everyone can get close to Senior Brother Xinghe like Senior Brother Ma Liang did so early on.

Following Senior Brother Ma Liang to various sects to discuss advertising was a very pleasant experience.

Ma Liang's current strength is on par with even the elders of various sects. After the various sects showcased their abilities according to Senior Brother Xinghe's idea during this Millennial Grand Sacrifice, the number of disciples coming to each sect to become his disciples was countless.

With the resurgence of Spiritual Qi, more and more people can cultivate; which family wouldn't want to recruit more disciples?

Do you think everyone is a member of the Vast Heaven Sect?

Ever since the Millennial Grand Sacrifice ended, the Tianyi Spirit Mine has been bombed.

The explosion didn't occur at the ore vein, but rather at the people who went there to apply to become miners' apprentices.

What? You mean you want to become an inner disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect directly? You must be dreaming!

Your talent must be incredibly extraordinary... Do you even dare to dream of becoming an inner disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect?

In the past few days, even Mu Bai privately approached Ma Liang, saying that when recruiting disciples next year, he must reserve a few spots for the Muyue Kingdom.

Even the people from the Muyue Kingdom are starting to line up... Are you more talented than the Muyue Kingdom?

Therefore, becoming a disciple of a miner is almost the only way to enter the Vast Heaven Sect.

I heard that Qin Xiangqian has been receiving so many gifts from various Lineage these past few days that he's almost overflowing with them.

However, Qin Xiangqian is truly intelligent. Despite the large amount he collects, he records every single spirit stone he acquires and reports it to the sect. No matter how much he collects, you simply cannot find a reason to smear him.

As expected of someone chosen by Senior Brother Xinghe.

The advertising negotiations between the various sects went very smoothly, with almost all sects willing to allocate resources to promote their sects in order to recruit more disciples.

Ma Liang spent several days completing the resource consumption for the Haotian Mirror for the next year...

Chu Xinghe didn't know how much money Ma Liang and Lu Chengqing had brought back, but he heard in the past two days that the Grand Elder had even sent Ma Liang the robes of Ma Liang's former deputy sect leader's personal disciple.

Therefore, Ma Liang became the first outer disciple to wear the robes of an inner disciple...

Chu Xinghe looked utterly helpless... After a Millennial Grand Sacrifice, I, Chu Xinghe, have broken through to the Seventh Rank... but the benefits the sect received are so heavy they're almost crushing me!

For several days in a row, Chu Xinghe found that he couldn't find any opportunity to cause any losses to the sect... not even a small-scale skirmish.

Just as Chu Xinghe was in unbearable pain, Sect Gu Mingchao announced that he was going into seclusion.

Having broken through to the Martial God realm, the sect leader will need to go into seclusion for a period of time to consolidate his cultivation so that he can attempt to reach even higher realms in the future.

However, before going into seclusion, Gu Mingchao convened a sect meeting.

The heads of each palace, as well as the Grand Elder, the Deputy Sect Master, and Chu Xinghe attended the meeting.

The meeting covered various sect affairs after the sect leader went into seclusion. In truth, there wasn't much to hear, since the Grand Elder oversaw sect affairs, and the heads of each palace were responsible for their respective palaces. Unless there were major events, the sect leader generally didn't need to do anything...

Therefore, the sect leader's seclusion will not have a significant impact. As for the vice sect leader... the vice sect leader has been away for so many years, and as soon as he returned to the Vast Heaven Sect, he worked tirelessly to build up the sect, even making it onto the Demonic Sect Must-Kill List. So the vice sect leader is already quite exhausted and needs to rest more. Therefore, during this sect leader's seclusion, the vice sect leader can just act as a mascot.

However, besides the fact that the deputy sect leader has become a mascot, there is another matter that needs to be addressed.

That was the matter of inspecting the sect.

As the Vast Heaven Sect, Gu Mingchao is required to inspect a portion of the Vast Heaven Sect's assets every year.

While it's called an inspection, it's also a form of deterrence. Those who do well should be rewarded, and those who do poorly should be punished.

Therefore, every year, some members of the Vast Heaven Sect are rewarded, while others are severely punished; there are even cases where the sect leader kills someone on the spot.

Normally, when it comes to inspections, either the sect leader goes in person, or if the sect leader has something to do, the Grand Elder goes; either way, someone has to go.

However, since the sect leader is currently in seclusion and the Grand Elder is in charge of all affairs, he naturally cannot go either. In response, the sect leader suggested that Xinghe make the trip instead.

Upon hearing this suggestion, all the chiefs nodded in agreement, indicating that there was nothing wrong with it.

Xinghe... Although you are still young and only a core disciple, this kind of inspection is something a sect leader must know.

So sending Xinghe is perfectly fine...

And so, Chu Xinghe became the first core disciple in the history of the Vast Heaven Sect to act as the sect leader and inspect the sect...
