Capítulo 2326: Chapter 1054: The Motion Fails
Another year cos to an end.
At the Kaiyuan Hall Conference, an agenda proposed by the Hall Master of the Orthodox Law, Wenren Xuewei, was criticized by many mbers, who believed it did not align with the rules of the Immortal Sect and was like “draining the pond to catch the fish.”
In the end, emotions ran high.
Even the Golden Core mbers of the Jumang Lineage showed hesitation, not understanding why such an agenda would be proposed.
The content was: to open the Immortal Sect’s Fourth Rank Peak spirit plants for refining Deity Transformation resources to supply Nascent Soul cultivators for breaking through realms.
“This is killing the chicken to get the eggs, burning the forest to farm, and does not align with the ancestors’ thods!”
“Do you upper-level Nascent Soul cultivators care nothing for the countless beings of the future just for your cultivation breakthroughs?!”
“Even if the opponents of the upcoming pioneering war are extrely powerful, the Immortal Sect is not the sect that first encountered Ming Wang Star. We have the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon capable of destroying planets in one blow, and do not need to waste these precious Fourth Rank Peak spirit plants.”
…
Wenren Xuewei, sitting in her place, listened to the reproofs of the mbers below and couldn’t help but sigh.
She had already foreseen this scene when she proposed the agenda.
However, this was the order of the Pure Yang True Monarch.
And for the next pioneering war, even the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon, which the Immortal Sect prides itself on, might not be enough.
Pei Qingshuang, in the front row of mbers’ seats, felt a tinge of heartache seeing Wenren Xuewei’s downcast look.
Originally, Pei Qingshuang intended to help by taking the bla, but Wenren Xuewei shook her head, indicating she was just a transitional Orthodox Law Hall Master, and a tarnished reputation was fine. Moreover, she had already taken the bla for Chen Mobai before, so let her handle it all.
This way, at least Pei Qingshuang remained untainted and could secure more support in the future struggle for the Three Great Hall Masters.
However, she hadn’t anticipated such overwhelming reproach when she introduced this agenda at the Kaiyuan Hall Conference as a dignified Hall Master.
Had not the Pure Yang True Monarch already discussed it with the other two Hall Masters?
Wenren Xuewei glanced at Gongye Zhixu and Ye Yune beside her.
Both were expressionless.
On the contrary, Lan Haitian gently nodded at her, then sent a ssage.
[Hall Master Wenren, the two Hall Masters won’t pass this down to their own lineages…]
Having heard Lan Haitian’s words, Wenren Xuewei suddenly understood.
She was used to taking the bla, so it didn’t matter to her anymore.
But Gongye Zhixu and Ye Yune still wanted to maintain their reputations.
If they were to pass it down, even if the mbers from the Patching Heaven and Kunpeng lineages obeyed, their reputations would still suffer.
Moreover, in their view, the other two Hall Masters would surely comply with the Pure Yang True Monarch’s order.
By then, at the Kaiyuan Hall Conference, even without the votes from their lineages, the agenda would definitely pass.
In this way, they could fulfill the Pure Yang True Monarch’s request while maintaining their reputations within their lineages.
Besides Wenren Xuewei, the direct scapegoat Hall Master, Gongye Zhixu and Ye Yune had almost the sa considerations.
So without their notification, an originally assured agenda suddenly caused public outrage.
The reason why many Golden Core mbers opposed was simple.
Because within the Immortal Sect, Fourth Rank Peak spirit plants are limited.
If they are used by current Nascent Soul cultivators, what resources would be available if they were lucky enough to form Nascent Souls in the future?
Oppose!
Must oppose!
Agree only if I am a Nascent Soul too!
With this mindset, over seventy to eighty percent of the Golden Core mbers from the Patching Heaven and Kunpeng lineages who didn’t receive notifications opposed the agenda.
Needless to say for the neutral ones.
The Golden Core mbers from the Weapon Dancing Sect and the Jumang Lineage, though unwilling, mostly voted in favor due to orders from above, or at least abstained if they were unwilling.
Seeing the vote results appear on the screen, Wenren Xuewei suddenly smiled.
She raised her head elegantly, took a sip from the teacup on the table, and glanced at Gongye Zhixu and Ye Yune on either side, whose faces looked extrely grim.
The opposition votes far exceeded those in favor.
According to the Kaiyuan Hall Conference rules, this agenda did not pass.
However, this was a direct order from the Pure Yang True Monarch. If he found out, Gongye Zhixu and Ye Yune might as well prepare for unemploynt by the next Kaiyuan Hall Conference.
[What on earth happened!]
Gongye Zhixu and Ye Yune exchanged glances, glaring at each other.
Both inwardly blad the other for the lack of competence.
Didn’t they want to help the Pure Yang True Monarch by taking the bla!
Look at Hall Master Wenren, taking the bla efficiently and obediently.
After a while of silent bickering, they saw the screen stop at 67% opposition votes, and recalling the similar temperant of the Pure Yang True Monarch and the White Light Ancestor, both couldn’t help but shiver.
[Stop arguing, let’s settle this first, or else the True Monarch will replace us next year, and after the agenda’s passed, we probably won’t enjoy the benefits of this policy.]
Gongye Zhixu first spoke to cease the quarrel, speaking to Ye Yune.
[Alright!]
Ye Yune nodded with a wry smile.
