Ascension

Three months later.

In order not to waste the many resources provided by Jiang Yujian, Gu Jinlai politely broke through to the Mahayana Realm.

Jiang Yujian was overjoyed and immediately held a banquet to celebrate with Gu Jinlai.

Not only a few outstanding Mahayana saints were invited, but almost all of the thirty-odd illusory immortals in the sect were present, except for those who were in seclusion or had other business to attend to.

In addition, they would bring one or two disciples or offspring, making the banquet more than sixty people in total, which was quite lively.

"At fifty years old, he has reached the Mahayana Realm. Such talent is outstanding even in our Creation Sect. He truly deserves to be the Sect Master's younger brother."

"With this kind of talent, there is a great chance that he can attain immortality before the age of one hundred, and he may even become a true immortal in the future!"

The Void Immortal Elders in the arena all appeared quite enthusiastic, their faces beaming with smiles.

Outstanding.

Yes, the elders praised Gu Jinlai talent as outstanding, but not as a peerless genius.

The Mysterious Immortal Realm and the Realm of Immortality are different.

Although the population of the Xuanxian Realm is many times that of the Changsheng Realm, and even comparable to its most glorious period a hundred years ago, the number of cultivators is less than one ten-thousandth of that of the Changsheng Realm.

Ultimately, Spirit Root filter out a large number of ordinary people.

In addition to Spirit Root, there are also related attributes such as comprehension and talent.

It can be said that an ordinary sect disciple in the Xuanxian Realm would be considered a minor genius in the Changsheng Realm. A disciple who can achieve outstanding evaluation in a medium-sized power like the Creation Sect would be considered a true immortal seed in the Changsheng Realm.

Furthermore, as the younger brother of the sect leader of the Creation Sect, Jiang Yufeng enjoys resources and treatment that are no less than those of the Void Immortal disciples in the Longevity Realm, and at least no worse than the members of the Holy Dynasty's royal family. At the age of fifty, he has cultivated to the Mahayana Realm, which is equivalent to a Saint, so he certainly cannot enjoy the treatment of a peerless genius.

The elders' praise brought a smile to Jiang Yujian's face.

Jiang Yukong also looked proud.

After some pleasantries, an elder suddenly spoke up, "Since the Wind-Riding Saint has reached the Mahayana stage of cultivation at such a young age, he should naturally be regarded as a seed of immortality to be cultivated by our Creation Sect. Although our Creation Sect has been recuperating and rebuilding in recent years, some remnants of the sect who have betrayed the sect are still hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to act. In order to prevent such a seed of immortality from dying halfway, I think we should find a protector for him."

Jiang Yujian was somewhat surprised by what the elder said.

His name is Ye Yunguang, a distant relative of the Ye family. He doesn't usually care much for him, but now he's actually considering his younger brother's well-being and has offered to have an elder act as his protector.

However, he already intended to arrange a Void Immortal-level bodyguard for his younger brother, and upon hearing Ye Yunguang mention it, he immediately said, "Yunguang is right. Yu Feng has shown extraordinary talent in cultivation since childhood. If it weren't for the delay he caused in the Jiang family back then, he would probably be more than just a Mahayana Realm by now, and he would probably be close to becoming a Dao-proving Immortal. Now that he has joined our Creation Sect and is receiving careful training from the Creation Sect, he is very confident that he will become a True Immortal in the future."

"I also agree with Ye Yunguang's statement. Moreover, I think one immortal-level protector is not enough. We also need to provide him with a foundation, find a Spirit Vein, and let him build a grotto-heaven. When he attains immortality, he can directly become the grotto-heaven master."

Ye Qingzhu said with a cold smile, her words seemingly carrying dissatisfaction with Jiang Yujian's attempt to take on everything for his younger brother.

However, she is usually one of the main people who disagree with Jiang Yujian, so it's not surprising that she would make sarcastic remarks.

"Auntie, Yu Feng's talent is indeed outstanding, and I think no one here can refute that."

At this moment, Ye Bingyu seemed to stand up and speak for Jiang Yufeng.

"That's not necessarily true. Five thousand top-quality materials and two Dao artifacts to help comprehend the mysteries of the Great Dao. If it were True Disciple of our Creation Sect, there would be at least ten or eight out of dozens of them who would have such resources to help them enter the Mahayana Realm. So it's not necessarily true that he is that outstanding."

Ye Qingzhu said.

Ye Qingzhu's words caused everyone in the room to fall silent.

In the past three months, the news that Jiang Yujian had bestowed two Dao artifacts upon Jiang Yufeng had already spread among their circle of elders and protectors.

While many elders only possessed one Dao artifact, Jiang Yufeng alone wielded two Dao artifacts...

Some elders were dissatisfied, not to mention the Mahayana saints.

"My aunt also said that there are only ten or eight True Disciples in our entire Creation Sect whose talents have reached this level, which is convincing in itself."

Ye Bingyu quickly said, "In addition, he is the sect leader's younger brother. Given the sect leader's hard work and dedication to our Creation Sect over the years, what's wrong with temporarily allocating two Dao artifacts to Yu Feng for self-defense?"

At this moment, seeing that the two seemed to be arguing, Ye Yunguang spoke up again, "Everyone has witnessed the talent of the Wind-Riding Saint, but Elder Qingzhu's doubts are also reasonable. Five thousand sets of top-grade materials and two Dao artifacts... are indeed a bit too much. Giving the Wind-Riding Saint these treasures to use without him having made any contributions is indeed hard to accept..."

"Elder Yunguang and Qingzhu should speak frankly about what they want to say, without beating around the bush."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yujian interrupted him, his words carrying a hint of pressure.

"Hehe, I didn't mean anything by it. I just think that if the Wind-Riding Saint wants to obtain two great artifacts, he should make some contributions to the sect before he can convince everyone, right? After all, the Creation Gate belongs to all of us, not just a tool to satisfy your personal desires, Sect Master!"

"Elder Qingzhu!"

Before Jiang Yujian could speak, Ye Bingyu addressed her by her name: "Watch your words."

As she spoke, she immediately said, "Yu Feng has not been without contribution. Not long ago, the Heavenly Fire Sect summoned fifteen forces from our Flame River Sect to jointly suppress the Red Cloud Sect. The sect leader has decided to send Yu Feng and four elders, leading one hundred Mahayana to go. The reason he bestowed two Dao artifacts upon him is because the battle to suppress the Red Cloud Sect is dangerous. Holding two Dao artifacts can ensure his safety. What is wrong with that?"

"Should we have Yu Feng lead the troops to besiege the Red Cloud Sect?"

Jiang Yujian was taken aback and was about to refuse.

At this moment, Ye Bingyu gave him a look, and Ye Qingzhu also spoke up, "Is that so? Then I want to see how he performs on the battlefield of besieging the Red Cloud Sect, and whether he deserves the reward of five thousand sets of materials and two Dao artifacts."

Seeing this, Jiang Yujian could no longer refute the matter.

Without Ye Yunguang and Ye Qingzhu stirring things up, the atmosphere in the room became lively again.

Gu Jinlai, who was involved in the incident, was somewhat surprised to witness this scene.

He had assumed that Jiang Yujian, as the sect leader of the Creation Sect, and even Ye Yan, the sect's only True Immortal, had said that once Jiang Yujian achieved True Immortal status, he would immediately be put in charge of the "Creation" Heavenly Dao, so he should be the undisputed authority of the Creation Sect. How come it seems now...

That doesn't seem to be the case?

Moreover, his direct adversary was the Ye family, Ye Yan's lineage.

This is because they are unwilling to let the Creation Sect be controlled by Jiang Yujian, an outsider.

When did sects start practicing Lineage- based exclusion?

"What's going on? Why did you suddenly agree to this on behalf of Yu Feng?"

Jiang Yujian urgently sent a message to Ye Bingyu to inquire.

Ye Bingyu quickly said, "Yu Feng has only been fifty years old and has already achieved the Mahayana. He is bound to become a True Immortal in the future. After becoming a True Immortal, he will definitely need to find a Spirit Vein to build a cave heaven. Our Creation Sect only has this one Spirit Vein. So, if he wants to build a cave heaven, he can only look for other Spirit Vein. Isn't Baihe City, which is occupied by the Red Cloud Sect, the best target? I am paving the way for Yu Feng in advance."

"The Spirit Vein of Baihe City? I'm afraid all the forces in Yanhe Road are eyeing that Spirit Vein. It's one thing for those twelve small forces to be concerned, but the Dragon Sword Sect and the Wind and Rain Pavilion will never let go of it easily. Not to mention that the overlord of Yanhe Road, the Heavenly Fire Sect, may not be willing to see a new force rise and share the spiritual energy of the 30,000-mile Yanhe Road."

Jiang Yujian said.

"Let's take over the territory first, and then we can make our move slowly. After all, it will take some time for Yu Feng to become a true immortal. There will always be a way."

Ye Bingyu advised.

Seeing this, Jiang Yujian looked at the banquet scene where the atmosphere had become harmonious again. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, as if he had been tricked by his wife, Ye Bingyu seemed to be considering things from Jiang Yufeng's perspective. He couldn't refute it and had no choice but to accept it.

The banquet ended quickly.

To ensure his younger brother's safety, Jiang Yujian selected six elders to join him in responding to the Heavenly Fire Sect's call to go to White River City to besiege the Red Cloud Sect.

After the banquet, Jiang Yujian kept Jiang Yufeng behind and patiently instructed him, "Of the six elders I selected for you, four are named Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. These four immortals are already at the peak of their cultivation, belong to the same sect, and have lived together since childhood. They even had a fortuitous opportunity years ago, practicing a combined sword formation that can hold its own against even True Immortals. Furthermore, if you have any questions, ask Elder Yu Xu. He is experienced and can handle most unexpected situations..."

Gu Jinlai, we can feel Jiang Yujian's heartfelt concern for "Jiang Yufeng" through his words.

In addition, we've spent the last few months together...

Gu Jinlai, people have admired the brotherhood between them.

This kind of person values loyalty and righteousness...

Their character is generally not too bad.

As he pondered, he made a decision. "There are Third Brother in the Creation Sect, and eighteen of them have come this time. Is someone dissatisfied with my elder brother's leadership of the Creation Sect?"

"I have only been in the Creation Sect for a short time, yet in the past thirty years, Master Ye has entrusted me with an important task, making me the sect leader. Naturally, some people are envious."

As Jiang Yujian spoke, he quickly waved his hand and said, "But you don't need to worry about this. Since I took charge of the Creation Sect, many elders have seen the changes in the sect. The fact that eighteen elders came to this banquet is the best example."

As he spoke, he smiled nonchalantly, "You know, the last time my eldest disciple broke through to the Mahayana Realm, seven elders came, and that's not even the number we have today."

Gu Jinlai listened and nodded, too lazy to bother with such trivial matters, and went straight to the point. "Elder Ye Yan said that as long as you become a true immortal, he will let you take charge of the 'Creation' Heavenly Dao. Is this true?"

"Master Ye's condition was not good during that civil war. If I can truly become a True Immortal, he will be able to rest assured and recuperate."

Jiang Yujian spoke with absolute certainty.

"I understand now."

A slight smile Gu Jinlai.

Considering his limited time and the fact that Jiang Yujian's performance had earned his trust, he decided not to procrastinate any longer.

"I told my elder brother that I obtained the inheritance of divine beasts, and when I obtained those divine beast inheritances, I also obtained some other treasures... which may help you forge an immortal body and become a true immortal."
