True Martial Dojo.
All the disciples gathered together, excitingly watching the two people at the front, who were Taoist Longshan and Luo Wentian.
Today is an extrely important day for the True Martial Sect.
It signifies succession and developnt.
Taoist Longshan, dressed in a pure white Taoist robe, appeared ethereal and otherworldly. His eyes were filled with deep emotion as he suddenly looked back, as if seeing the path he had walked. The True Martial Sect had developed over decades to beco a top sect renowned across the world.
However, more effort is still needed.
The True Martial legacy records the past glory of the True Martial Sect, where even a Martial Saint once appeared, dazzling this world to its utmost.
His gaze then turned gradually solemn as he looked at his eldest disciple:
"Today, I am officially entrusting the True Martial Sect to you. You must always rember your mission, and lead the True Martial Sect forward. Can you do that?"
Luo Wentian’s body trembled.
He was very excited, yet also felt a lot of pressure.
The topic of succeeding as Sect Leader had been brought up long before by Taoist Longshan. He had always worried about not doing well, but now, he finally made up his mind to give it his all to fulfill his master’s wishes.
He realized that his previous worries weren’t that important after all.
Being in the White Mist Realm, assuming the role of a sect leader was barely manageable, and he would continue to improve. It was only a matter of ti before he could break through to the Jade Liquid Primordial Core. After cultivating the Sleep Dream Skill, many true disciples found their cultivation progressing at an alarming speed. They realized how terrifying the cultivation technique given by Ning Qi was, enough to break conventional cultivation records.
Apart from this, with Taoist Longshan and True Man Tianjian providing foundational support, he had nothing else to worry about.
After all, Taoist Longshan, now breaking through to the Celestial Human Realm, needed more ti to cultivate. He was only hidden behind the scenes, not abstaining from matters. If a situation truly required Taoist Longshan’s intervention, he wouldn’t stand idly by.
Luo Wentian only needed to focus on handling the sect’s developnt affairs.
He was very adept at these matters, even one might say, over the last decade, although Luo Wentian had no title of Sect Leader, he already had the responsibilities of one.
This is also why Taoist Longshan chose Luo Wentian to succeed him.
The True Martial Sect must continue to develop.
Luo Wentian took a deep breath, suppressing his many inner thoughts, then solemnly declared:
"I will devote my life’s energy and will not fail my master’s trust!"
Taoist Longshan’s eyes glistened with tears. He placed the Taoist crown of the Sect Leader on Luo Wentian and donned the Taoist robe of the Sect Leader on him, then announced loudly:
"From today on, Luo Wentian is the second generation Sect Leader of the True Martial Sect! You must unite under the Sect Leader’s guidance and revitalize the True Martial!"
The disciples were also filled with excitent, bowing in respect and shouting:
"We see the Sect Leader!"
"Unite and revitalize the True Martial!"
The snowflakes fluttered in the sky, yet they couldn’t extinguish the enthusiasm of the True Martial disciples.
If one doesn’t count the previous history, the True Martial Sect is actually still a very young sect. The disciples consider themselves, but there aren’t many disputes, as the vast majority are willing to devote their efforts, even to the point of self-sacrifice, for the sect.
Ning Qi watched this scene, feeling deeply moved.
He had been on the mountain for ten years, witnessing the first transition of the sect leader position within his master’s sect. Perhaps this kind of event would happen many more tis in the future, but this one was the most important to him because it involved his master and his eldest senior brother.
He was a True Martial Path Guardian, preserving the safety of the True Martial. His eldest senior brother was the new sect leader, leading the sect’s developnt, which was wonderful.
Every true disciple was genuinely joyful, and no one thought that Luo Wentian lacked virtue to match his position. Besides him, no one else in the True Martial Sect was more qualified to be the Sect Leader.
In the distance.
So renowned figures from Qing State were invited to witness the ceremony, including the swordsn who were ditating at the True Martial Sword Monunt. They saw the astonishing cohesion of the True Martial Sect and were filled with admiration—an unparalleled sect with a millennia-long legacy was about to be born before their eyes.
With such cohesion, it’s hard not to rise.
So people started having thoughts.
They had learned so information that after Luo Wentian succeeded as Sect Leader, there would be major actions, and the True Martial Sect might expand.
If they could join the True Martial Sect now, it would definitely be a great opportunity.
...
Bright Martial Pavilion.
Only Luo Wentian, Taoist Longshan, and Ning Qi were present.
Luo Wentian was a bit puzzled at heart. Originally, he wanted to discuss his plans for the coming days with Taoist Longshan. Having just assud the role of Sect Leader, he was full of ambition and wanted to achieve sothing significant while he had the spotlight. Unexpectedly, Taoist Longshan called Ning Qi over.
It wasn’t because he felt a difference in status after succeeding as Sect Leader, but since none of the other senior brothers were called, only Ning Qi was, it made him sowhat surprised.
But Taoist Longshan’s first words left him stunned.
Taoist Longshan smiled and said,
"Little Jiu is the True Martial Path Guardian."
"Path Guardian?" Luo Wentian’s eyes filled with questions.
Taoist Longshan began to explain.
"A Path Guardian is one who protects the True Martial legacy. He is the only one who can cultivate our sect’s unparalleled True Martial Stance, and only successive Sect Leaders have the right to know the Path Guardian’s identity. Rember, no matter who the Sect Leader is in the future, the Path Guardian is above all. In crucial monts, he has the power to dismiss the Sect Leader, and the identity of the Path Guardian must not be easily disclosed."
He half-joked, half-seriously.
Taoist Longshan naturally understood Luo Wentian’s character, but if soone else took over in the future, who might not keep their initial intent, at such tis, the Path Guardian would play a crucial role, capable of averting crises and restoring order.
