"Is everyone here?"
Inside the meeting room, Bai Wuya looked around and spoke calmly.
Apart from the Supreme Institute, all the heads and vice-heads of the Inner Academy gathered here.
The head of the Third Surgical Hospital was also present.
The Supreme Master of the Supreme Institute looked around and said, "Dean, our Supreme Institute Sacred Master Yunzhao is still in seclusion and was unable to come here."
The dean of Heaven-Reaching Institute followed suit, saying, "Our Heaven-Reaching Institute's Sacred Master Ziyan is also in seclusion."
In addition, some holy masters who were guarding the Demon-Suppressing City and those who were traveling were not present.
Bai Wuya nodded slightly.
I understand.
"In that case, let's begin the meeting."
His gaze fell on the heads of the three outer academies—their cultivation levels were slightly lower than those of the heads of the Inner Three Institutes; they were not Half-Saint, but rather at the peak of the Ancient Emperor Ninth Stage.
At this moment, the head of the Third Surgical Hospital calmly closed his eyes, Unmoving as a Mountain.
They knew very well that they were brought here as witnesses.
The other inner court masters were intrigued.
Seeing this, what else could they not understand?
Why would the old dean go to such lengths, summoning so many high-ranking members of the Holy Heaven Sect here?
Such a grand gathering, with all the current deans assembled here. Even the two vice deans, who are usually rarely seen, made an appearance.
This matter must be of great importance.
and...
Many people's eyes became extremely fervent.
Bai Wuya then stood up, coughed lightly twice, and said in a deep voice, "Since the establishment of the Primordial Holy Heaven, six academies have coexisted, each managed by a different academy master."
"However, the head of the Supreme Institute has been missing for a long time and cannot be found. The Supreme Institute is leaderless and disorderly, and the gap between it and the other two academies is widening. This matter is not appropriate."
"Therefore, the Dean has summoned you here today for only one matter."
"That is the purpose: to select a headmaster for the Supreme Institute!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked. The most powerful Saint Masters even disregarded everything else and stood up excitedly, staring intently at Bai Wuya with burning anticipation in their eyes.
Head of the hospital!
Tell me, which of the people of the Primordial Holy Heaven did not have such ambitions?
Ever since the head of the Supreme Institute disappeared and it was confirmed that he could not be found, they have been keeping an eye on Supreme Institute position, and it's been an unknown amount of time now.
Unfortunately, Bai Wuya has remained unmoved in selecting a new dean.
He felt that since the current head of the Supreme Institute had not yet perished and no news of his death had been sent back, it meant that he might still be alive, making it inappropriate to select a new head.
That's why the selection of the new headmaster has been delayed and postponed until today.
Of course, there is another point: so far, no new Half-Saint have appeared in the Primordial Holy Heaven, and it is difficult to gain the respect of the people for the position of the Inner Court Master if one is not Half-Saint.
A combination of factors has led to this delay until now.
But now, Bai Wuya has finally relented and is going to choose a new headmaster!
This means that although everyone present is not strong enough to reach the level of Half-Saint, they are all qualified to become the Supreme Institute Master!
But they still retained some sense of reason, and they all looked at one of the men.
Currently, within the Primordial Holy Heaven, apart from the two vice deans and the two inner court masters, there are no other Half-Saint experts. Logically speaking, no one should be qualified to serve as the master of the Supreme Institute.
However, if we don't simply look at their level of understanding, taking a slight step back reveals those who are truly exceptional.
--Saint Teacher Yan Qiong
He is one of the most senior and powerful holy teachers in the Primordial Holy Heaven.
He had already made a name for himself at a young age, and had already broken through to the peak of the Ninth Level Thearch Realm, only one step away from the realm of Half-Saint.
The person everyone instinctively looked at was him.
In terms of cultivation level, no one in the current Primordial Holy Heaven is qualified to serve as the head of the academy.
The two vice deans are elusive and rarely seen.
Furthermore, the vice dean's status and position are on par with the heads of the three inner academies, therefore, they are definitely not candidates for the new head of the academy.
In this way...
The gazes of the crowd swept over the current Thearch Realm Ninth Stage Peak Saint Masters of the Primordial Holy Heaven.
The head of the Supreme Institute will likely have to be chosen from among them.
Among these people, the one with the most seniority and the strongest strength is none other than the Saint Teacher Yan Qiong.
That's why everyone's eyes were on him.
He is the only one currently most qualified to serve as the head of the Supreme Institute.
Many of the holy masters who were on good terms with him smiled slightly, and some even secretly communicated with him.
"Brother Yan Qiong, it seems that the position of Supreme Institute Master is rightfully yours today."
"Tsk tsk tsk, if my old friend Yan Qiong becomes the head of the academy, you'll get a much larger share of the Holy Heaven's resources. You might even reach the level of Half-Saint in just a few days, then you'll truly deserve the title!"
"Fellow Yan Qiong, what a joyous occasion!"
On the surface, it seems almost certain that Saint Teacher Yan Qiong will succeed as the head of the Supreme Institute.
Many holy masters felt a sense of emotion, but they also knew that no matter how you looked at it, Saint Teacher Yan Qiong was the most suitable candidate. Therefore, they all secretly congratulated Saint Teacher Yan Qiong through whispered messages.
Saint Teacher Yan Qiong was also beaming with excitement.
In his view, the position of head of the Supreme Institute should rightfully belong to him.
After all, his abilities and qualifications are indeed beyond reproach.
At this moment, Saint Teacher Yan Qiong took a deep breath.
He spent countless years in the Primordial Holy Heaven, during which time numerous sects and even other Holy Heaven extended offers to him.
But he rejected them all. Why?
They simply wanted to secure a place for themselves in this Primordial Holy Heaven!
And that day is finally here!
It should be understood that in the Primordial Holy Heaven, the status of the three inner court masters is incomparable to that of the Holy Masters. The status of the three inner court masters is on par with that of the two vice-deans.
Becoming the head of the Supreme Institute would grant me resources and a status that I can no longer match!
Even though the Primordial Holy Heaven ranks last among the Ten Great Saint Heavens in the Holy Heaven Domain, the status and position of its academy master are still quite remarkable within the entire Primordial Holy Heaven!
Becoming the Supreme Institute means that he is no longer an ordinary Holy Master, but rather the face and pillar of the Primordial Holy Heaven. Even the Holy Masters and Academy Masters of other Holy Heaven have to give him some respect when they see him.
Meanwhile, things were developing in the direction that Saint Teacher Yan Qiong had hoped for.
One of the vice deans glanced at the others and then slowly spoke.
"Dean, I believe that since a new headmaster is to be appointed, the position should naturally be filled by the most capable person. Therefore, Saint Teacher Yan Qiong is..."
Saint Teacher Yan Qiong looked over gratefully.
The vice dean gave him a reassuring look.
He has a close relationship with Saint Teacher Yan Qiong.
No.
It can't even be described as very close.
It should be said that Saint Teacher Yan Qiong was someone he personally trained.
If Yan Qiong could become the head of the Supreme Institute, that would be what he hoped to see, since it would mean that the number of people he could use to help him would increase even further.
However, he was interrupted by Bai Wuya before he could even finish speaking.
"No."
Bai Wuya shook his head.
"The purpose of summoning you all here is not to discuss who is more suitable to become the head of the Supreme Institute."
He spoke calmly, but uttered a statement that caused an uproar throughout the room.
"I already have someone in mind to choose as the new head of the academy."
