First Decree of New Policy

"At this unprecedented time for our sect, I feel that I am very suitable to become the Sect Leader and lead the sect through this special era."

After Chen Mobai finished speaking, everyone stared at him in shock.

In the Eastern Wasteland, cultivators have always prioritized cultivation above all else.

Therefore, Core Formation Cultivator never become Sect Leader, as it would greatly hinder their cultivation.

The reason why Foundation Establishment Cultivator are so enthusiastic about this is because it is an Unspoken Rule among the Eastern Wasteland Great Sect: if you want to obtain the sect's Core Formation resources, you must pay the sect a certain amount of time.

For example, the Acting Sect Master of the Divine Wood Sect, Meng Hong and Chu Zuoshu, both received the full support of Zhou Shengqing and Fu Zongjue.

Chen Mobai, already Core Formation Cultivator Sect Leader seen by the Eastern Wasteland as a waste of his own time and effort for the sect.

So when he said that, it immediately shocked everyone.

"If Old Ancestor Chen is willing to condescend, then naturally no one is more suitable than you."

After Chu Zuoshu was the first to react and immediately bowed to Chen Mobai with the utmost respect as a Sect Leader.

"Greetings, Sect Master Chen!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the Divine Wood Hall also realized what was happening.

Seeing that Fu Zongjue no sign of speaking, everyone followed Chu Zuoshu to pay their respects to the new Sect Leader.

E Yun Yuan Chiye, who already knew this, were also deeply moved, feeling that Old Ancestor Chen was truly a man of integrity.

Of all those present, only Zhou Wangshen had the most complex feelings.

But if Core Formation Ancestor wanted to become the Sect Leader, even Zhou Shengqing wouldn't refuse. Which Sect Leader in the entire Eastern Wasteland is Core Formation?

From now on, at least from the perspective of the sect Sect Leader, their Divine Wood Sect is undoubtedly the number one in the Eastern Wasteland.

"I have no attachment to the position of Sect Leader. It's just that there are no reliable people in the sect with cultivation levels like Junior Nephew Meng and Junior Nephew Chu right now, so I'm going to work hard for now. When Junior Nephew Hong He, Junior Nephew Zhou, E Yun, or other Foundation Establishment cultivators can meet the standards of Sect Leader, I will naturally step down and give way to the more capable ones."

Hearing Chen Mobai's words, Zhou Wangshen felt a little better. The Core Formation Golden Words and Jade Teeth had made a promise in front of so many people, so he still had a chance to succeed as sect Sect Leader.

In fact, this is a good thing for him. Because his cultivation level is inferior to Hong He's, even if he forcibly ascended to the Sect Master Position today, many people would not accept it.

They felt that he was only relying on Zhou Shengqing and the Zhou Family.

Now that Old Ancestor Chen has taken over as Sect Leader, as long as he improves his cultivation during this period and reaches the late Foundation Establishment stage, even if he is not as good as Hong He, he will be able to rightfully claim the position.

"May I ask Old Ancestor Chen, what standards do you think should be set for the position of Sect Leader?"

At this moment, Zhou Junxian, the Great Elder of the Zhou Family, asked a question. He had seen through something and felt that Chen Mobai was buying time for E Yun.

If Chen Mobai continues to sit in the position of Sect Leader and does not step down, the lifespan of Core Formation Cultivator will be enough to wear them all down to their coffins.

So, for the sake of the Zhou Family, he still dared to step forward and ask a question.

After hearing this, Chen Mobai smiled slightly and said what he had already thought of.

"It just so happens that the criteria for selecting the sect Sect Leader have always been vague, which is not conducive to mobilizing the enthusiasm of the sect's cultivators. I'll decide on one today."

"The Sect Leader is a matter of face. The cultivation level must be at least at the late Foundation Establishment stage, and the age cannot exceed one hundred years, so that after abdication, the physical body is still at its peak and can attempt to break through to the Core Formation stage."

"Secondly, the Sect Leader must have made contributions to the sect. I feel that the previous contribution of 100,000 was too little. From now on, let's raise it to 200,000." Upon hearing this, everyone's face twitched slightly, but no one dared to object.

"Finally, the Sect Leader must be a capable person. I propose that the garrison commanders of the Six Nations Jian Country Divine Wood Sect nominated as candidates for Sect Leader."

"Previously, the sects guarded various countries to accumulate seniority or to use the sect's name to collect resources from families in various places. They didn't really develop the resources properly."

"From now on, each garrison commander should manage their territory as if it were a small sect. If the administration is efficient and the Political Harmony, then it means that they will have no problem becoming the Sect Leader and ruling the Seven Kingdoms in the future."

"Of course, if you want to do things, you can't do them without enough power. From now on, your position in guarding your respective territories and kingdoms will be second only to the Sect Leader and the Three Great Halls, and above the Twelve Departments."

As soon as Chen Mobai finished speaking, the Minister Deputy Minister of the Twelve Departments below became somewhat anxious.

For no apparent reason, six more people suddenly appeared above them.

Even though this right only applies within the territories of the Six Nations, it still makes them feel uncomfortable.

"Ancestor, if in the future I am ordered by you to go to Yun Country to collect a kind of Herb, and then the Cloud Kingdom Guardian orders me to refine a kind of pill for him, should I refine it or not?"

Zeng Woyou from the Alchemy Department was a straightforward person, and he immediately stood up and said that this approach would not work.

"Junior Nephew Zeng is right. Let's make them equal to the Twelve Departments, each guarding their own territory, and they can be on equal footing with you Minister. What do you say?"

Chen Mobai referenced the system of the Immortal Sect, where the City Lord of Cave Heaven Blessed Land possess a high degree of autonomy. Within the Immortal Sect, only the Councilor of the Opening the Origin Hall and the Hall Master and Deputy Hall Master of the Three Great Halls can command them.

However, since the Divine Wood Sect only has three Core Formation Cultivator, they need to make some adjustments based on local conditions.

If Chu Zuoshu had proposed this motion, Twelve Departments would have rejected it unanimously.

The mere garrison commander was only qualified to enter the Twelve Departments, so how could he suddenly be elevated to the same level as them! The garrison commander's authority has increased, while the Three Great Halls remain high above, which means that the authority of the Twelve Departments has been weakened. This simple logic is easy to understand.

They wanted to object, but the current Sect Leader was Core Formation Ancestor!

"I will obey the Sect Leader's orders."

After some hesitation, Fu Zongjue showed no sign of speaking, so the Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Twelve Departments had no choice but to unanimously pass the proposal.

"In that case, the positions of the garrison commanders become extremely important. Apart from the garrison commanders of the Jian Country, let's renegotiate the positions of the other Six Nations."

There are two reasons why Chen Mobai did not move to Jian Guo Town Guardian.

Firstly, the sect is located here. If it were given the power to guard the area, there would definitely be a lot of friction with the Twelve Departments, and in that case, it would be troublesome for him, the Sect Leader.

Secondly, it was to avoid suspicion, lest people think he wanted to use this opportunity to promote his apprentice, Zhuo Ming.

"This disciple was previously the Xiao Kingdom Guardian, and is now willing to continue in this role, protecting the borders of the sect and fighting against the Nan Xuan Sect."

Zhou Wangshen stepped forward without hesitation. In fact, he originally wanted to choose Lei Kingdom because the country had been ruled by the Divine Wood Sect for nearly a hundred years, and governing it would be a piece of cake.

However, this would prevent him from demonstrating his superior governing skills, and he also couldn't use the Nan Xuan Sect to accumulate merits and achievements. Therefore, after some consideration, he decided to choose the Xiao Kingdom, a country he had been cultivating for ten years and which had a solid foundation.

"I always strive for fairness and impartiality in my work. This matter also requires all Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the sect to have a chance. You should convey my proposal today to the other cultivators who are not in the sect. They, and even you, if they have the same intention, can also participate in the election. A month later, all Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sect will vote to determine the Six Nations Guardian Position."

Chen Mobai's words shocked everyone present.

"This matter can be decided by the Sect Leader and Old Ancestor Fu."

Chu Zuoshu stepped forward somewhat nervously and said.

"If there is a tie or something that goes beyond the rules, Senior Brother Fu and I will make the decision. For the rest, we still need you to play your part."

The confidence of Core Formation Cultivator lies in their own cultivation level, and Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue didn't care about these things at all.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, if they wanted to support someone, all they had to do was ask, and at least half of the Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the Divine Wood Sect would choose that person.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator inside the Divine Wood Hall all had different thoughts and left with inexplicable glances.

Some of the Minister of the Twelve Departments were even considering whether they should give up their current positions to compete for the position of governor of a country.

Those cultivators who have reached the Foundation Establishment Realm and achieved higher levels are all quick-witted individuals.

Because they saw a Core Formation.

After leaving the Divine Wood Hall, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator from their familiar circles gathered at their usual meeting place and began to discuss the matter.

"Junior brother, you are a genius. If you focus on cultivation, it will be more beneficial to the sect."

After the sect meeting ended, only Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue remained in the Divine Wood Hall. The latter offered a word of advice to the former.

"Don't worry, senior brother. The affairs of the sect will not affect my cultivation. Moreover, when a talent like Junior Nephew Chu appears in the next generation, I will hand over the sect with peace of mind."

Chen Mobai's words Possessing the Dao. The Sect Leader of the Eastern Wasteland Great Sect are basically all at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and the next best are at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

If Zhou Wangshen were to become the leader, the uninformed Rogue Cultivator would probably think that their Divine Wood Sect had no successor.

"In that case, I'll leave the sect's affairs to you, junior brother. I'll continue my study of the Puppetry Technique of Six Armor Mountain."

For Fu Zongjue, the Divine Wood Sect was becoming less and less helpful, while it was the Core Formation who were supporting and sustaining the sect.

Therefore, Chen Mobai's willingness to manage it is actually a good thing for him.

soon.

The news that Chu Zuoshu had stepped down and Chen Mobai had taken over as Chu Zuoshu Sect Leader had already spread throughout the Divine Wood Sect.

Many Qi Cultivation Disciple have only one feeling about this change: they feel more confident when they go out.

Because their sect Sect Leader is Core Formation Ancestor.

This was unique in the entire Eastern Wasteland! But for the Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Divine Wood Sect, the proposal to elect a Sect Leader caused a huge uproar.

"Junior Brother Yan, are you really going to run for the position of garrison commander?"

Kou Canzhi, the Minister of the Body Refining Department, looked at the bronze-skinned, resolute-faced young man who had just reached the Foundation Establishment, and was both surprised and delighted.

"Senior Brother Kou, I want to Core Formation. Although there are plenty of Spirit Stone stones here, the best I can do in this life is to outlive you and take charge of a sect. Now there is a better path, and I want to try it."

The bronze-skinned youth was named Yan Yuanhao. He had just celebrated his eightieth birthday and his cultivation level was already at the peak of the mid -Foundation Establishment.

His other role is the Deputy Minister of the Body Refining Department.

The great battle between the Yan Kingdom and Nan Xuan Sect was a scene that left a deep impression on him. It was when he led the cultivators of the Body Refining Department to fight bloody battles on the front line and was on the verge of death, that Chen Mobai rode the Purple Lightning Wild Thunder and Sword Light to turn into sword light and kill Nan Xuanjing.

After surviving the battlefield and witnessing the power of Core Formation, Yan Yuanhao deeply yearned for this realm.

Now, there is a legitimate opportunity for fair competition, Yan Yuanhao is willing to give up his future in the Body Refining Department just to fight for a chance.

Not only Yan Yuanhao, but also the Deputy Minister of the Talisman Department and the Array Department made the same decision.

There are also Inspector Envoy and supervisors from the Three Great Halls, and so on.

Within the Divine Wood Sect, all Foundation Establishment Cultivator who held the belief in Core Formation were inspired with the utmost enthusiasm under Chen Mobai's First Decree of New Policy.

"Of course, of course. Take care, Senior Brother Mu. I'll find an opportunity to speak when Master summons me..."

After seeing off yet another Foundation Establishment from a sect who had come to pay their respects, Liu Wenbai couldn't help but scratch his head.

He hadn't quite anticipated the significance of his status as Chen Mobai's top disciple.

During this period, almost all the Foundation Establishment Cultivator within the Divine Wood Sect whom the sect did not know sent messages of greeting using the Sky-Connecting Instrument.

The same applies to Zhuo Ming's side.

However, Zhuo Ming is not fond of socializing, and since she is a female cultivator, many people are hesitant to visit her directly.

Liu Wenbai was different. He was in charge of Little South Mountain Shop, and basically everyone had his contact information. People who asked him to meet them couldn't refuse. So after Chen Mobai took over Sect Leader, he didn't have a single free day.

Many people wanted to show their loyalty to Chen Mobai through Liu Wenbai. They believed that as long as the Sect Leader appointed him as the garrison commander, he would do whatever the Sect Leader said in the future.

Unfortunately, Chen Mobai doesn't need such loyalty, and although Liu Wenbai is a kind-hearted person, he wouldn't actually tell Chen Mobai about such things.

Seeing that his Sky-Connecting Instrument kept ringing without stopping, Liu Wenbai sighed, left a message for Chen Mobai, packed up, and then, under the pretext of managing Little South Mountain Shop and taking the opportunity to go back to his hometown in Yun Country to help his family plant Flower Rice, he took the Teleportation Array and left Giant Wood Ridge overnight.

The next day, Qi Rui, who came to visit Liu Wenbai, looked at the "Out" sign hanging on the door with a troubled expression.

Three years ago, he successfully Foundation Establishment by taking the Foundation Establishment Pill left by Chen Mobai. Over the years, he had always wanted to thank him in person, but unfortunately, he had been outside the sect due to other matters.

After learning from the sect's message that Chen Mobai had achieved Core Formation and taken over as Sect Leader, Qi Rui was shocked and quickly completed his task, rushing back to Giant Wood Ridge.

Chen Mobai's current status is different from before. After Qi Rui finished his mission at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, he went straight to Liu Wenbai, hoping to get his help to pay him a visit.

Unfortunately, Liu Wenbai slipped away first.

Helpless, Qi Rui could only go to Little South Mountain, but found that Zhuo Ming was not there either.

"Hey, isn't this Junior Brother Qi?"

Just as Qi Rui was thinking of going to Xi Jinghuo to find out what was going on, a familiar voice called out to him.

Looking back, I saw Yan Jinye from the Alchemy Department.

Qi Rui had met her several times when Chen Mobai gathered everyone for a wine tasting.

"Are you looking for Junior Sister Zhuo? That's really unfortunate. She was taken to Black Cloud Mountain by Sect Master Chen today."
