The Peaks Convene, All Seven Gather! Objections?
Upon hearing Shi Tian's words, Chen Changqing couldn't help but cough lightly.
"Cough cough..."
"Shi Tian!"
What do you mean by "my person"?
"That sounds rather odd!"
At this point, Chen Changqing quickly stepped forward to help Shi Tian to his feet, and then said:
"From now on, you shall stay by my side and cultivate yourself."
"Come back to Azure Firmament Valley with me first!"
Shi Tian nodded, stood up, and looked at Chen Changqing with a solemn expression, saying:
"I, Shi Tian, am a man of my word. Now that I have lost to you, I am your subordinate."
"But..."
At this point, Shi Tian paused, then added:
"But I will still challenge you in the future."
"If I ever defeat you, you will no longer have the right to command me."
Chen Changqing didn't seem to care, and nodded, saying:
"Fine, you can do whatever you want once you defeat me."
Having said that, Chen Changqing didn't linger and took the lead in walking out.
Seeing this, Shi Tian quickly followed Chen Changqing.
As they walked, Shi Tian asked with a curious expression:
"Can you tell me how you cultivate?"
Before this, Shi Tian had heard many rumors about Chen Changqing.
After joining the Sect Leader's lineage, he began to become decadent and lazy.
Every day, he either sleeps soundly, sunbathes, or walks the dog at the Inner Sect.
As a result, Chen Changqing's cultivation level did not improve at all in a year and a half, and he was still stuck at the Middle Core Formation Stage.
However, Shi Tian only realized this during their exchange of blows.
Chen Changqing's cultivation has broken through to the Golden Core level.
Moreover, it's not just any ordinary Golden Core.
He defeated him with a single palm strike.
At the same time, Shi Tian also guessed that the terrifying thousand-foot Golden Core Glow in the Inner Sect earlier was most likely the phenomenon that occurred when Chen Changqing broke through to the Golden Core.
What Shi Tian couldn't understand was...
How did Chen Changqing cultivate his skills?
Upon hearing Shi Tian's question, Chen Changqing smiled slightly and said meaningfully:
You'll find out later.
Seeing that Chen Changqing was unwilling to say more, Shi Tian did not press the matter.
He knew very well that many things about cultivation were extremely secretive to every Cultivator.
The following day, the Golden Bell rang atop Seven Stars Peak.
The resounding bell echoed throughout the entire Shu Mountain Sacred Land.
At this moment, the Peak Masters of the Seven Main Peaks were all shaken upon hearing the bell.
While others might not know, the Seven Peak Masters did, for such a bell toll signified the summons of their Sect Leaders.
"What is happening that the Golden Bell is ringing at this time?"
Why did the Sect Leader summon everyone at this time?
"Could it be related to the thousand-foot -Golden Core Glow of yesterday?"
"..."
Hesitantly, the Seven Peak Masters didn't think much of it and rushed towards Seven Stars Peak.
Inside the main hall of Mount Shu Council Hall.
Sect Master Chen Yuan sat upright in the main seat, waiting quietly.
Before long, seven figures appeared one after another.
The Burning Heaven Peak Master Lie Yangzi and a flickering flame pattern between his brows.
The Peak Master Zhanqiong, True Person Tianbo, carried a Bronze Ancient Halberd on his back, his fighting spirit soaring to the heavens.
The master of Mountain Suppressing Peak, Yue Kunlun, was as tall and imposing as a mountain, and he appeared calm and reserved.
The Void Breaking Peak Master True Person Wuwu, exuded an imposing aura, and the space around him distorted, appearing both real and illusory.
Yuqingzi, the master of Jade Void Peak, held Whisk in his hand, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance.
The master of Azure Phoenix Peak Ascendant Qingming, was dressed in green robes, with a Green Jade Bell hanging from his waist, which rang out clear and melodiously.
The only female cultivator, the Cloud Perch Peak Master Fairy Yuehua, had her face covered by a light veil, so her features were not visible, but her eyes, as clear as autumn water, were incredibly captivating.
Soon, all seven peak masters arrived at the council hall.
Upon seeing Chen Yuan, the men bowed deeply and said in unison:
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
Chen Yuan nodded, indicating that everyone didn't need to be so polite.
After exchanging greetings, Lieyangzi, the peak master of Burning Heaven Peak, was the first to speak and ask:
"Why has the Sect Master summoned us here so urgently by ringing the Golden Bell?"
Upon hearing Lie Yangzi's words, all six Peak Masters, including True Person Tianbo, looked at Chen Yuan with curiosity.
It should be noted that the Golden Bell on Seven Stars Peak has not rung for many years.
Chen Yuan smiled faintly, his gaze sweeping over everyone before he explained:
"The reason I have summoned you all here is to establish Chen Changqing as the Eleventh Sequence Holy Son of our Mount Shu."
Chen Yuan spoke these words with remarkable calmness.
Upon hearing this, the Seven Peak Masters were all shocked, looking somewhat incredulous.
"What?"
The peak master of Breaking Void Peak, True Man Void, exclaimed in surprise:
"Sect Master."
"Chen Changqing has only been a member of the Inner Sect for a short time and is still relatively inexperienced. What qualifications does he have to be ranked as Holy Son?"
Following True Person Wuwu's words, the Peak Masters of the other major Main Peaks also spoke up:
"That's right, the position of Holy Son is no small matter; how can it be given away so easily?"
"More than a year ago, the Sect Master already accepted Chen Changqing as his Personal Disciple. Now he wants to list him Sequence Holy Son. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
"Although the Sect Master is supposed to be selfless, doing this will inevitably make people think that the Sect Master is biased."
"Chen Changqing is now a disciple of the Sect Master Lineage, and his status in the Shu Mountain Sacred Land is already extraordinary, so there is no need for him to become Sequence Holy Son!"
"..."
The Peak Master all expressed their opinions.
There was overwhelming opposition to Chen Changqing becoming Sequence Holy Son.
After all, in addition to the Seven Main Peaks, the Shu Mountain Sacred Land also has ten Sequence Holy Sons.
Furthermore, the Sequence Holy Son not only exist independently outside the Seven Peaks, but they can also develop their own power.
If another Sequence Holy Son were to emerge, it would inevitably affect the interests of the Seven Main Peaks.
"Um?"
Seeing that all Seven Peak Masters opposed the idea, Chen Yuan's brows furrowed.
"Boom!"
The next moment, a terrifying aura of pressure instantly emanated from Chen Yuan.
In an instant, all Seven Peak Masters in the hall turned pale, feeling as if they were carrying a heavy mountain under Chen Yuan's imposing aura.
Although they all possessed the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm.
But Chen Yuan is a powerful figure in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
The mere aura and pressure emanating from him were enough to make the Seven Peak Masters tremble with fear.
"How?"
"Do you mean you disagree?"
Chen Yuan asked coldly.
You should know that he had already promised Chen Changqing that he would make him the Eleventh Sequence Holy Son of the Shu Mountain Sacred Land.
If he fails to do this, how can he, as the Sect Master, save face?
Upon hearing what Chen Yuan said, the Seven Peak Masters, including Lie Yangzi, all turned pale.
They knew in their hearts that they had no way to resist Chen Yuan.
"Snort!"
Just then, a slightly weary, cold snort suddenly rang out.
Immediately afterwards, a blurry figure slowly solidified behind the peak master of Zhanqiong Peak, True Person Tianbo.
The solidified figure was an old man, dressed in a gray robe, with a withered face.
However, the oppressive aura emanating from him was comparable to that of Chen Yuan!
"Ancestor Zhanqiong?"
Upon seeing this figure, Chen Yuan frowned, his expression becoming extremely solemn.
"Sect Master Chen Yuan!"
"This Shu Mountain Sacred Land is not a place for your dictatorship!"
"Ancestor Zhanqiong Qiong saying indifferently."
Before Chen Yuan could reply, six figures materialized behind the other six Peak Masters.
