What? Succeed the Shushan Sect Master?

Although Lu Changsheng didn't know why the Sect Master had summoned him, he still went to Myriad Sword Peak.

At the foot of the Ten Thousand Swords Peak, in front of the myriad sword walls, the Shu Mountain Sect Leader, Master Taiyuan, his Uncle-Master Situ Kong, and other Shu Mountain Grand Elders, including the Peak Masters of Chaoyuan Peak, Zhu Lingjiang, and Liang Churen, respectively, gathered together.

The two newly appointed Grand Supreme Elders of Shushan, Senior Brother Li Changye and Senior Sister Murong Shi, were also present.

Besides the Grand Supreme Elders of Shushan, the Personal Disciples of Taiyuan True Person, including Song Wuchuan, who is currently at the peak of the Dao Palace Realm Ninth Layer, and Zhao Wuyan, who is at the Dao Palace Realm Seventh Layer, were also among them.

The Old Servant from Myriad Sword Peak stood quietly under the Bamboo Grove nearby.

Good heavens, all the big shots who survived from Shushan have arrived.

"I wonder why Master has summoned me here?"

Lu Changsheng noticed the serious expressions on the faces of the Shushan group and thought the Calamity was not over yet.

"Come here, I have an important decision to announce."

Taiyuan True Person beckoned, signaling Lu Changsheng to come to the front of the many Grand Supreme Elders of Shushan Shu.

Lu Changsheng didn't know what Taiyuan True Person was going to do, but he figured he wouldn't harm him, so he followed his instructions and came to the front of the crowd, standing alongside the Shushan Sect Master and his Uncle-Master Sect Leader.

Taiyuan True Person coughed lightly and said solemnly, "I have served as the Shushan Sect Master for Two Thousand Years. During this Calamity of the Demon Race, I was unable to protect Shushan. It was only thanks to Changsheng's all-out efforts that we were able to defeat the powerful enemy and protect Shushan. Therefore, I have decided to pass on the position of Shushan Sect Master to Changsheng after Changsheng enters the Dao Integration Realm. Does anyone have any objections?"

The many Grand Supreme Elders of Shushan, including their Senior Brother Li Changye, all said in unison, "We have no objections."

What?! You want me to be the Shushan Sect Master?!

Lu Changsheng was stunned.

He hadn't expected the Shushan people to act so forcefully; it turned out that Taiyuan True Person wanted to appoint him as the Twenty-Eighth Generation Shushan Sect Master!

"Isn't the 28th sect Sect Master the Senior Brother?"

"Junior Brother Lu's cultivation is now far superior to mine, and he single-handedly turned the tide and saved Shushan. How could I possibly compete with Junior Brother Lu? Besides, I've only reached the Second Layer of the Void Refinement Realm; I'm still far from being able to protect Shushan."

Li Changye felt relieved and had no intention of competing with Lu Changsheng for the position of Shushan Sect Master. Instead, he felt completely at ease.

Lu Changsheng was rated as the second-best Shushan Dao Ancestor by his Uncle-Master Sect Leader and was destined to the Ascension to the Immortal Realm, while Li Changye was only a possibility of Ascension.

"Junior Brother Lu is about to enter the Dao Integration Realm, becoming a powerhouse second only to the Uncle-Master Sect Leader and the Sect Master himself. The position of the next Sect Junior Brother Lu of Shushan Sect Master is undoubtedly his."

"We were saved by Junior Nephew Lu, and we are completely convinced that he will become the sect Sect Master."

The Grand Supreme Elders Shushan were all talking at once.

Unexpectedly, Lu Changsheng took a deep breath. "Please forgive me, but I cannot agree."

What a joke! He's busy teaching disciples and cultivating various Cultivation Method; he hasn't even mastered the Golden Bell Shield yet, and he's still a whole major realm away from the Ascension to the Immortal Realm. How could he possibly have time to deal with all these messy affairs of Shushan? Wouldn't that just delay his cultivation?

Lu Changsheng sought the Changsheng Never Dies and had no intention of wasting time.

Wow.

The Grand Supreme Elders Shushan were in an uproar.

Shushan is the largest sect in Xiazhou, and the position of Shushan Sect Master is coveted by countless people.

Three thousand years ago, Wan Chengdao, the senior brother of Taiyuan True Person, turned against Taiyuan True Person over the matter of the Sect Master candidate and defected to the Reincarnation Hall.

However, Lu Changsheng refused without even thinking.

This disciple is simply too unique.

Taiyuan True Person and Situ Kong exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Is this disciple really so indifferent to fame and fortune?

Even with Taiyuan True Person's temperament, he was excited for several days when he was designated as a candidate for Sect Master.

Taiyuan True Person felt deeply ashamed.

In his indifference to fame and fortune, he was not as good as his disciples.

In reality, Lu Changsheng simply felt that the matters that the Shushan Sect Master had to handle were too tedious and disturbed his Pure Cultivation.

Compared to a genuine improvement in cultivation level, the empty title of Shushan Sect Master is nothing.

"No, you must take over as Sect Master."

Taiyuan True Person's attitude, however, was unusually firm.

Lu Changsheng was frustrated. Why couldn't he even make an excuse?

He cultivates in Shushan and won't run away. Whether or not he becomes the Shushan Sect Master, Shushan will not suffer any loss.

The Uncle-Master Sect Leader coughed twice and said to Lu Changsheng, "The successive Shushan Sect Master have always been chosen by the most talented disciples of the next generation, thus demonstrating the abundance of talent in Shushan and deterring the demons. If you are worried that handling the trivial matters of Shushan will interfere with your cultivation, then your disciples or senior brothers can usually share the burden..."

The Uncle-Master Sect Leader truly lived longer than Taiyuan True Person, discerning the reason why Lu Changsheng did not want to succeed as the Shushan Sect Master.

Lu Changsheng immediately understood why his Uncle-Master Sect Leader and Taiyuan True Person insisted that he take over as the Shushan Sect Master.

They believed they could Ascension to the Immortal Realm, and that taking over as the Shushan Sect Master.

If it's just a nominal position and won't interfere with cultivation, then Lu Changsheng can completely accept it.

"Since you've said so, Uncle-Master, then I'll accept without hesitation. As for matters that the Sect Master should handle, I'll leave them to my Senior Brother and my Eldest Disciple, Lin Qingzhi."

Lu Changsheng adopted an attitude of wanting to wash his hands of the business.

Since Shushan wants to enhance the prestige of its Shushan Sect Master by having him bear the title, it's not unreasonable for him to leave his own sword intent on the Myriad Sword Walls of Shushan Sect Master the future.

Li Changye smiled wryly. How come he had finally managed to relinquish his responsibilities, only to be relegated to acting sect Sect Master again?

But Lu Changsheng is more qualified than himself to leave sword marks on the Myriad Sword Walls.

"Your Eldest Disciple, if I'm not mistaken, has already reached the Dao Palace Realm Ninth Layer, right?"

"Exactly."

"Hiss..."

Upon hearing what Taiyuan True Person said, the many Grand Supreme Elders of Shushan realized that, without them noticing, Lu Changsheng's Eldest Disciple would soon become Grand Supreme Elders of Shushan.

The Azure Cloud Peak master and his disciples' cultivation levels improved by leaps and bounds, repeatedly refreshing the understanding of these Grand Supreme Elders.

It would be relatively easy for Taiyuan True Person to choose the next leader of the Shushan Sect Master from among his disciples.

Choosing the next Shushan Sect Master will be difficult.

The disciples of Azure Cloud Peak are all exceptionally talented, each of them qualified to succeed as the Shushan Sect Master, unlike the generation of Lu Changsheng, Li Changye, Song Wuchuan, and Zhao Wuyan, who are significantly less capable.

"We absolutely must not let that little Demon become the Twenty-Ninth Sect Master of our Shushan, otherwise..."

The Grand Supreme Elders of Shushan were terrified when they realized that Lu Changsheng's Second Disciple, Lu Qinglian, was also one of the candidates for the Twenty-Ninth Sect Master.

Lu Qinglian is infamous in the Shushan sect. If she were to become the Twenty-Ninth Sect Master Shushan, wouldn't the Shushan be in constant chaos?
