But Xu Long was already at the Late-stage Heavenly Immortal, and he had developed his own methods within the towering waterspout.
As the waves were about to engulf him, Xu Long, who was below, quickly threw something out of his hand.
At this moment, he began to chant a spell, and as soon as the spell was chanted, the object on the water surface rapidly enlarged.
A loud "splash" broke the silence on the water's surface in an instant.
A long ritual pestle appeared between heaven and earth.
As soon as the vajra appeared, Xu Long was underwater, immediately moved closer to his body, while his incantation continued unabated.
At this moment, the vajra above seemed to be blessed by a Magic Power, and the umbrella-like canopies were released from the vajra.
Xu Long below was immediately enveloped by the canopy of the magic pestle, along with a binding force released at that moment.
Those rising waves were actually blocked outside the umbrella.
At this moment, the waterspout seemed to have noticed the strange phenomenon, and a huge wave surged up above the Vast Sea.
Xu Long felt a surge of urgency, knowing that the strange phenomenon in the Vast Sea had noticed him.
Although the youth had inherited the Dao lineage, he had not yet fully refined this vast Vast Sea.
After the turmoil, the power of the tornadoes above the Vast Sea actually increased considerably.
At this moment, watching the churning tornado waves, Xu Long, who was inside the umbrella, immediately raised the long magic pestle.
Its body moved with the magic pestle in an instant, disappearing above the water's surface like a carp leaping out of the water and soaring high into the waves.
The tornado that was rushing towards them had already unleashed its full power.
After the endless mist unfurled, it hung between the sky and the water like layers of water curtains.
Xu Long, holding his long pestle, left a long trail as he traversed between the water curtains.
From a distance, it looks like a giant Bifrost.
Rumble!
A huge sound exploded behind them, and the waves that had swept in earlier had now crashed onto the surface of the water.
Xu Long steadied himself on the land, and the water mist behind him disappeared one after another.
The roar of the surging waves lingered in my ears, as if they were about to engulf the sky.
After the Dragon King's body was destroyed, this vast Vast Sea not only did not restrain its aura, but instead released all the anger it had accumulated over countless years.
In this Boundless Wilderness, the will of the Vast Sea has always been to fight against nature and the elements.
This is the will of the Vast Sea Dragon King, the will of the Primordial God, and the will of Xu Long and the youth.
The young man was able to inherit the Dragon King's lineage not only because he possessed the power of True Dragon's bloodline, but also because of his determination to fight against the Vast Sea and earth.
Seeing the raging waves of the sea from the land, Xu Long felt a surge of pride rising within him.
The young man has now found his own lineage in the Vast Sea, and once he refines it, it will become his powerful support.
On the Lai Province Continent, they would even be able to fight against Saint.
And he himself was about to enter the realm of the Mysterious Immortal Realm.
Xu Long was certain that once he reached the Immortal Realm realm, he would be the number one person below the Golden Immortal!
The heroic spirit in my heart rose and fell with the waves of the raging sea.
How many legendary figures are buried in the Vast Sea? How much history remains beneath its waves?
At this point, everything has become a thing of the past.
In the Vast Sea Boundless Wilderness, the future masters will be the youth!
Xu Long gazed deeply at the boundless, raging sea, wishing he could disappear onto the land in an instant.
At that moment, Yun Feng, within the Daning Commandery Kingdom, suddenly opened his eyes and sent out a message from the jade tablet in his hand.
The place where Yun Feng was standing was the main hall of the main branch where Yunlong had been before.
This is the authority of the Jade Screen Sect School Beyond the Cloudy Heavens, and Yun Feng looked slightly tired as he sat here.
He made decisions on each matter one by one, and finalized the plans for the Daoist temple in the Boundless Wilderness.
He also had to personally oversee matters concerning the various mountain peaks Beyond the Cloudy Heavens.
Yun Feng, who was originally in that blessed land, had come into contact with sect affairs before, but it was only this time, when he personally handled sect affairs, that he learned about them.
How many matters within the Daning Commandery Kingdom require the sect leader's personal decision?
Since Sect Master Yunlong went into seclusion to break through to the Twofold Immortal, all the affairs within the sect have been on Yun Feng's shoulders.
Yun Feng had always been the successor being groomed by the sect leader, and he had also undergone a long period of training within the blessed land.
After Yunlong went into seclusion, he naturally entered the main hall of the sect.
If Yunlong successfully advances, then Yun Feng will relinquish his authority in order to prepare for his own advancement.
But what if the sect leader fails to overcome his own tribulation...?
Then Yun Feng will forever handle affairs in the main hall, single-handedly upholding the reputation of the Jade Screen Sect School.
A thousand years ago, this is how the Sect Master Yunlong came to be. Among the core disciples of that time, only Grandmaster Yun He Crane broke through to a higher realm.
After Yunlong was appointed sect leader in a time of crisis, he sat in the main hall for a thousand years.
The seat that countless people had longed for, once I sat on Yun Feng today, felt like sitting on pins and needles.
Inside the main hall, Yun Feng worked diligently, personally overseeing every detail in handling each matter.
Having walked the path of cultivation for countless years, Yun Feng never felt as tired as he did in the main hall of the main branch.
He was merely acting sect leader, while his master had been entrenched in the main hall for over a thousand years.
Despite pressure from all sides and various unexpected events within the sect's territory.
There was even the momentous event of Yun Kun's accident causing the sect to change its successor halfway through.
Yun Feng couldn't imagine how his master had spent the past thousand years.
This solemn and dignified hall is not only a place of authority, but also a place of responsibility for the Jade Screen Sect School!
Inside the main hall, Yun Feng finally experienced the pressure his master faced.
In the Boundless Wilderness, each place holds its own divination, while on various mountain peaks Beyond the Cloudy Heavens, they undermine each other.
The resources within the blessed land must be distributed equally, all of which tests Yun Feng's ability to handle the situation.
He lacked the imposing presence that Yunlong had cultivated in his youth, and he also lacked the transcendent strength of Ancestor Yun He. He could only seek ways to turn things around in each and every situation.
Yun Feng, who was struggling to keep going, knew that although the sect seemed to be developing rapidly, both the patriarch Yun He and the sect leader were facing Tribulation Transcendence.
If something were to happen to the two of them, I would truly face immense pressure.
All eyes were on Beyond the Cloudy Heavens, waiting for Yun Feng to make a mistake, or for Yunlong and Yun He to face their doom.
At this moment, Yun Feng, inside the main hall, had been waiting for an opportunity.
He was not isolated within the sect; each time a new sect leader took office, he was protected by other core disciples.
This is the core team that the sect left to its successor.
Beside Yunlong is Yunxiang.
Originally, Yun Peng was supposed to be standing next to Yun Kun, but both Yun Kun and Yun Peng encountered unexpected events at this time.
Yun Feng, who was supported halfway through the process, was originally intended to become a mutually supportive partner with Yun Feng, but the sect leader was concerned that the family cultivators were too powerful to be controlled.
However, among the newly selected core disciples, no cultivator was assigned to support Yun Feng.
At this moment, after Xu Long emerged from the Vast Sea, Yun Feng still received a message from Xu Long that the results in the Vast Sea had been revealed.
This is a victory for the Jade Screen Sect School, and also a victory for Yun Feng.
In that message, Xu Long affirmed Yun Feng's status!
At this point, even if any faction within the sect harbored disloyal intentions, it would be difficult for them to cause any further trouble.
The forces Beyond the Cloudy Heavens are unaware of what Xu Long has brought back this time—something powerful enough to reshape the landscape of the Daning Commandery Kingdom.
Upon receiving the message from Yun Feng, the cultivators both inside and outside the Jade Screen Sect School reacted in various ways.
Yun Feng had summoned several Mystic Immortal cultivators to the main hall to discuss matters.
The cultivators Beyond the Cloudy Heavens and in the Mystic Immortal Daoist Sanctuary were not very willing to face a junior taking over power.
Even in the Beyond the Cloudy Heavens and the immortal abode, they still preferred to have only their own commands.
However, under the instructions of Sect Master Yunlong, all cultivators inside and outside the sect were required to obey Yun Feng's arrangements.
Although the summons in the main hall was reluctant, everyone from inside and outside the sect still rushed over.
They naturally had no respect for Yun Feng, who had just taken office.
After all, in this Earth Realm, strength has always been paramount. To expect a bunch of seasoned veterans to respect the younger generation is wishful thinking.
At this moment, the person sitting below was naturally the Perfected Yunxiang.
Upon seeing everyone arrive, Yun Feng did not greet them but instead coldly observed some of the cultivators.
Although these cultivators outwardly obeyed Yun Feng's arrangements, they inevitably favored themselves when it came to conflicts of interest.
This rendered Yun Feng's authority ineffective.
These people, relying on their seniority and their own Immortal Realm realm, were not afraid of Yun Feng.
Yun Feng used to call him "Uncle-Master" to his face.
Even if he were to become the acting sect leader at this point, it would be difficult to gain the support of the people.
Yun Feng was quite helpless about this, as there are always those who scheme and plot against each other within major sects.
These people are difficult to deal with within the sect due to the difficulty in investigating the cause.
Moreover, are there any signs that these people are now uniting to subdue Yun Feng?
Yun Hong below remained calm, his closed eyes seemingly oblivious to anything amiss.
Deep down, he was also waiting for Yun Feng to win him over so he could subdue these old foxes.
However, he couldn't ask openly; he had to make Yun Feng come to him personally so that he could exercise his authority.
The Yunxiang below frowned deeply. After the Jade Screen Sect School wiped out the Immortal Cloud Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge, their territory in the Boundless Wilderness instantly expanded dozens of times.
The conflicts of interest involved in these territories are very deep.
Before Yunlong went into seclusion, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he didn't explicitly state how these benefits would be distributed.
Yunxiang naturally knew that this was a difficult problem, and his senior brother had specifically left it for Yun Feng to handle.
If Yun Feng can't even handle these matters of interest, then his position in this hall is not suitable for him, and the sect's decline is only a matter of time.
To see how well Yun Feng performs as a qualified sect leader, we'll have to see his performance in the main hall today.
The cultivators gradually gathered, but Yun Feng, sitting in the main seat of the hall, remained silent.
At this point, everyone had their own opinions on the distribution of benefits, and the grand hall gradually turned into a bustling marketplace amidst the noise.
At this moment, Yun Hong still had a calm and composed expression on his face, while Yunxiang's face showed some anger.
When Yun was in charge, there was never such a scene of disturbance. If Yun Feng cannot subdue these people today...
Then Yunxiang below will be the first to be deposed from his position as acting sect leader.
Amidst the commotion, the cultivators gradually emboldened. Seeing that Yun Feng remained unresponsive, some even roared directly from the main hall:
"Nephew Yun Feng! We've always been the ones mining the spirit Spirit Stone in the Boundless Wilderness. Why is this old man getting involved again!"
"My dear junior brother Yun Feng, we've been tending to that herb garden Beyond the Cloudy Heavens all along. Why are we changing hands now?"
"What do you mean by 'changing people'! Don't you old men have any idea how many you've been secretly keeping in the dojo?!"
"Exactly! In the herb garden Beyond the Cloudy Heavens, you've been repeatedly blocking our access to medicinal herbs, yet you yourselves have none at all. I think you're the ones stealing from yourselves!"
"Are you fucking slandering me...?"
The situation on the field gradually escalated.
If a conflict of interest arises among cultivators within a sect, it can easily escalate into a disaster if the sect leader does not intervene forcefully to adjudicate it.
Seeing the cultivators in the hall rolling up their sleeves, ready to fight, Yun Feng, sitting in the main seat, kept sneering.
These Mystic Immortal cultivators really don't take me, their acting sect leader, seriously!
Therefore, he could not show them any mercy, and Yun Feng secretly plotted a plan in his heart.
Having made up his mind, he slowly spoke from the seat of honor:
"My lords, since the annihilation of the bandits of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge, the strength of my Jade Screen Sect School has gradually expanded, and we need to exchange resources in the main territory and Beyond the Cloudy Heavens."
These transfers and arrangements were all the result of discussions between me and the sect elders, and I made the final decisions on each one. What complaints could you possibly have?
Although Yun Feng's voice wasn't loud, it slowly echoed through the arena, drawing the attention of all the cultivators present.
At this moment, the cultivators seemed to only then notice that there was a "Sect Master" in the main hall.
However, the cultivators present did not stop arguing, since everything decided in the main hall was in their own interest.
Seeing that the group of cultivators still showed signs of arguing, Yun Feng, who was sitting in the main seat, immediately turned pale.
Before he could speak, the person in the superior position continued:
"Is there still any objection?!"
After Yun Feng asked in a solemn voice, his aura immediately emanated from his body.
Everyone present felt a faint sense of majesty. The Mystic Immortal cultivators below were suddenly stunned and did not react for a moment.
Yun Feng's gaze swept across the crowd with lightning speed, and the cultivators below were somewhat afraid to meet his eyes.
The golden light that shot from his eyes swept across the crowd, and the crowd fell silent for a moment.
But Yun Hong below remained calm, and when Yun Feng's gaze swept over him, he simply closed his eyes instantly.
Seeing Yun Hong's attitude, the cultivators present began to stir again.
Despite the pressure from Yun Feng, several white-haired cultivators stepped out from the arena.
Upon seeing these cultivators emerge, a flash of malevolence crossed Yun Feng's eyes above.
These people were all elders who relied on their age and seniority. Now that they saw Yun Feng trying to intimidate them with his power, the person behind the scenes, driven by self-interest, finally appeared.
The senior cultivators who stepped forward slowly bowed to Yun Feng, Yun Feng quickly said he dared not accept such a gesture and helped them up.
The cultivators below continued recounting what had happened, and Yun Feng, who was present, immediately felt a sense of unease.
At this moment, Yunxiang remained silent. Seeing a hint of hesitation flash across Yun Feng's brows, Yunxiang felt something was amiss.
Seeing that the elderly cultivators had quelled the situation, the cultivators below also stepped forward and raised their respective demands.
Seeing that these cultivators were about to bring up the old matter again, Yun Feng above lowered his aura, and the voices below immediately quieted down.
However, the elderly cultivator present did not relinquish his previous right to speak.
At this moment, Yun Feng forcibly suppressed the disgust in his heart and explained the whole story.
Then, speaking slowly and deliberately, he addressed the cultivator above:
"What this sect has already decided requires no further discussion. Anyone who objects will be apprehended and punished within the Thousand Miasma Forest!"
Upon hearing Yun Feng's somewhat chilling voice, several faint sneers rang out from the crowd.
Yunxiang, who was present, had not yet expressed his opinion, and the Deacon Hall had not taken sides. The old hand did not believe that Yun Feng had the means to punish them.
At this moment, Yun Hong, who was below, curled up a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
Yunxiang would never easily express his opinion. The troublemaking cultivators in the main hall were essentially putting Yun Feng on a pedestal.
If Yun Hong Yun Hong is not won over at this point, and he is allowed to step in and divide the spoils, thus ending the dispute, then Yun Feng in the main hall will truly become a laughing stock.
At this moment, Yun Hong, who was in the middle of the field, straightened his body intentionally or unintentionally, but Yun Feng above him did not even glance at him.
The cultivators in the arena were already showing signs of disrespecting Yun Feng. Only by revealing his strength could he intimidate everyone.
Yun Feng exuded his aura from his superior position, and the cultivators below, upon sensing it, instead resisted Yun Feng's power.
The people inside the hall chuckled indifferently; in their eyes, Yun Feng was still too inexperienced.
After Yunlong went into seclusion, if he wanted to secure his position as sect leader, he needed to know how to make choices.
If you don't know how to yield to your elders at this time, then don't expect to secure your position as sect leader.
As the tension in the arena grew increasingly palpable, Yunxiang kept his eyes tightly shut.
Yun Hong, standing to the side, slowly opened his eyes, waiting for Yun Feng to give up so he could ask for help.
Under the oppressive aura, the crowd refused to submit and openly disobeyed Yun Feng's orders.
The cultivators below were still discussing the topic of "each going their own way and waiting for Sect Master Yunlong to emerge from seclusion before making a decision."
Seeing that things were getting out of control, those below became even more Wuji. At this point, with the support of a group of elders, some cultivators even began to question Yun Feng's identity.
