The nineteenth-generation Sect Leader of the Qingyun Sect?!
Looking at the subtitles slowly emerging on the Heavenly Curtain, everyone was dumbfounded.
The members of the Qingyun Sect immediately turned their gazes toward True Lord Daoxuan. If they remembered correctly... True Lord Daoxuan was the eighteenth-generation Sect Leader, right?
In other words.
The person appearing on the Heavenly Curtain was the future Sect Leader of the Qingyun Sect!?
Tian Buyi's eyes narrowed slightly.
He looked toward True Lord Daoxuan and asked, "Sect Leader Brother, is this person on the Heavenly Curtain Nephew Xiao?"
Hearing this, the other several peak masters nearby all turned their gazes over.
The figure on the Heavenly Curtain was obscured by a hazy mist. They could only see a general outline and could not discern specific facial features, making it difficult to judge the person's identity. However...
Who in the entire Qingyun Sect didn't know that Xiao Yicai was the next Sect Leader successor personally designated by True Lord Daoxuan?!
Hearing these words, True Lord Daoxuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
He stared fixedly at the figure on the Heavenly Curtain, and a massive wave of emotion surged in his heart, because he discovered...
That figure was absolutely not Xiao Yicai!
As Xiao Yicai's master, True Lord Daoxuan might not know him perfectly, but he certainly wouldn't fail to recognize his build.
Furthermore.
Didn't the Heavenly Curtain also state it?
The next Sect Leader of the Qingyun Sect is hailed as—the Number One Sword Immortal Under Heaven!
Could True Lord Daoxuan not know Xiao Yicai's talent? He was absolutely unworthy of this title...
With this thought, a realization dawned in True Lord Daoxuan's heart.
The next Sect Leader of the Qingyun Sect is not Xiao Yicai?
It was someone else entirely!
At this moment.
The various Peak Masters surrounding him had already gleaned the answer they sought from True Lord Daoxuan's expression.
The next Sect Leader was not Xiao Yicai?
But if it wasn't him.
Then who could it be...
The Seven Peaks' Masters felt a brief moment of inner conflict, but they quickly cast the question aside. After all, no matter who the next Sect Leader turned out to be, he would always be a member of the Qingyun Sect!
Wasn't that so?
The attention of the various Peak Masters was drawn to the commentary appearing on the Heavenly Curtain...
The Wielder of the Zhu Xian Sword!
The sole leader of the righteous path under heaven!
The founder who pioneered the Immortal Dao!
The Dao Ancestor who spread the teachings across the world!
The Number One Sword Immortal Under Heaven!
This series of accolades?
They all indicated that the next Sect Leader of the Qingyun Sect was undoubtedly a legendary figure!
The various Peak Masters were shaken to their cores.
And not just them.
Even the disciples of the entire Qingyun Sect were stunned.
"The Number One Sword Immortal Under Heaven?"
"I never imagined that the next Sect Leader of our Qingyun Sect would be the future Number One Sword Immortal Under Heaven!"
"The founder who pioneered the Immortal Dao?"
"And the Dao Ancestor who spread the teachings across the world?"
"What do those two lines mean?"
"You can't even understand that? It means that the next Sect Leader of our Qingyun Sect pioneered the true Immortal Dao! And he spread those teachings to the entire world!"
"Hiss—"
"With a contribution like this? Calling him the Dao Ancestor is truly not an exaggeration!"
The disciples of the seven peaks of the Qingyun Sect were discussing it fervently.
At this moment.
Countless people were debating the specific identity of the next Qingyun Sect Leader. Most guessed it would be Xiao Yicai of Heaven-Reaching Peak, after all...
Xiao Yicai was the champion of the previous Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament!
He was also the eldest disciple of the current Sect Leader, True Lord Daoxuan, and was destined to be the successor to the position of Sect Leader in the future!
Little Bamboo Peak, Moon Gazing Platform.
A cool breeze blew gently by.
Dreamy, ethereal mist drifted about, otherworldly and refined.
Hazy sunlight filtered through the clouds and mist, shining down upon a pavilion.
A cold, aloof young girl stood there.
She was dressed in a white gown, beautiful and refined. She was like jade, her clothes like snow. Her skin was fair and delicate as porcelain, and under the soft sunlight, she seemed to be caressed by a radiance, glowing with a faint luster...
The girl was not very old.
Yet, her pretty face bore an extreme coldness.
As if it were her very nature.
The cold young girl lifted her gaze slightly.
She looked at that towering figure within the Heavenly Curtain, her eyes fixed on the evaluation. They lingered for a moment on the words "Number One Sword Immortal Under Heaven"...
"Number One Sword Immortal Under Heaven?"
"Is it Senior Brother Xiao Yicai of Heaven-Reaching Peak?"
Lu Xueqi murmured softly.
She seemed a bit unconvinced, her brows knitting together as she couldn't help but reach out and grip the Tianya Divine Sword in her hand tightly.
The cold, aloof girl watched the figure in the Heavenly Curtain in silence.
She did not know what she was thinking.
Everyone in the Qingyun Sect believed that the figure in the Heavenly Curtain was the future Xiao Yicai.
Even the people from the Four Great Sects of the Demonic Sect thought the same.
After all.
Xiao Yicai was the successor to True Lord Daoxuan.
True Lord Daoxuan had even passed down the Seven Star Sword, the token of the sect leader, to Xiao Yicai. How could this not prove that Xiao Yicai was the next Qingyun Sect Leader?
But...
Was that really the case?
Great Bamboo Peak, back mountain.
Ye Changfeng looked at the figure in the Heavenly Curtain.
He had only taken a single glance, and his first instinct was that it felt incredibly familiar!
What the hell!?
Isn't this just me?
Ye Changfeng wore a look of utter bewilderment.
Others might not recognize him.
But how could he not recognize himself!
Even though the figure in the Heavenly Curtain had his face obscured by a hazy mist, he still recognized that it was his future self based on certain characteristics.
For a moment, Ye Changfeng's expression became rather strange.
His future self became the Sect Leader of the Qingyun Sect?
And wielded the Zhu Xian Ancient Sword? Collected all Five Volumes of Heavenly Books? This...
It didn't seem entirely unacceptable!
Ye Changfeng raised an eyebrow slightly.
Although he was single-mindedly determined to lay low until he reached the Supreme Purity Realm before leaving the mountain, this did not seem to conflict with the achievements shown on the Heavenly Curtain. After all...
He was actually not that far from the Supreme Purity Realm now.
At most, five or six years.
He would be able to officially break through to the Supreme Purity Realm.
By then—
Relying on his Supreme Purity cultivation!
Wanting to become the Sect Leader, gathering the Five Volumes of Heavenly Books, wielding the Zhu Xian Sword, and so on... wouldn't all of that be effortless?
As for founding the Immortal Path later on?
Ye Changfeng had always possessed exceptional comprehension!
It was nothing strange that he could achieve such a thing!
"So..."
"The person on the Heavenly Curtain is really me!?"
A spark of interest ignited in Ye Changfeng's heart.
He was quite curious about what kind of changes his future self would bring to this world. Besides, with the cover of the Heavenly Curtain, even if the whole world saw it...
He was not afraid of being exposed.
With that thought in mind.
Ye Changfeng continued to watch.
Outside Yuqing Hall.
The Seven Peaks' Masters were discussing among themselves.
They were all debating the information revealed on the Heavenly Curtain.
"Five Volumes of Heavenly Books?"
"That name sounds like it's not something simple!"
Zeng Shuchang, the Peak Master of Wind Return Peak, narrowed his eyes slightly.
The other peak masters around him also fell into deep thought.
Heavenly Tome?
They had never heard of it!
True Lord Daoxuan's heart stirred slightly.
He thought of the ancient Zhu Xian Sword within the Illusion Moon Cave Mansion. There was an anonymous ancient scroll upon the Zhu Xian Sword, and the core cultivation method of the Qingyun Sect, the Taiji Xuanqing Dao, had been derived from it...
Legend had it.
Tianyin Temple also possessed a Wordless Jade Wall.
Their core cultivation method, the Great Brahma Prajna, had also been realized from it.
Could it be...
True Lord Daoxuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Compared to his uncertainty?
The members of the Demon Sect were unusually familiar with the existence of the "Heavenly Tome"!
Especially the Ghost King Sect!
