Chapter 517: Chapter 48 Taoist Lineage Confirmation
Daluo Sect is indeed the ancestral court of Taoism, the representative of the Taoist lineage.
So the Master of the Daluo Sect could also be regarded as the leader of the Taoist community!
In accordance with tradition, when the Daluo Sect needs to re-elect its Master, the other two branches must send representatives to jointly witness the election.
Now that the Upper Pure Sect and the Yuhua Sect have both sent people, it appears that the re-election of the Daluo Sect’s Master is indeed being taken seriously!
The leader of the Upper Pure Sect’s delegation was still Qingxu True Monarch, and Li Fei also saw Gan Jingcheng, whom he had defeated, among the crowd.
Gan Jingcheng, whose beard had not regrown, looked unnaturally uncomfortable upon seeing Li Fei and quickly turned his head to look elsewhere.
There was no helping it; the past was a painful mory to revisit…
“Let’s go.”
Li Fei turned around and continued forward with Luo Shi.
Passing through the plaza, by the cold pool, and entering Taixu Hall once again.
At this ti, the Great Hall had already gathered many strong figures from the Daluo Sect, with many looking perplexed.
Soon, Qingxu True Monarch from the Upper Pure Sect and the True Monarch from the Yuhua Sect entered Taixu Hall, each accompanied by two Martial Arts Masters.
“Qing Xu, why have you co?”
“The re-election of the Daluo Sect’s Master should naturally be witnessed by all three branches.”
“Since when did my Daluo Sect need to re-elect its Master?!”
“The Wendao Bell has already rung nine tis, and you’re still asking ?”
“This…”
As everyone conversed, Qingxu True Monarch entered the Great Hall expressionlessly, followed by Qing Yun True Master.
“Master, brother.”
“Greetings to the Master.”
“Greetings to Qing Xu brother.”
“…”
Person after person paid their respects.
Qingxu True Monarch glanced over the people inside the Great Hall, and when he saw people like Qing Xu, he did not say much; he simply nodded his head and then walked forward.
He approached the statue of the Taoist Ancestor and sat down in his own seat.
“Master, brother, the Wendao Bell has sounded nine tis; what does this an? Was this your doing?”
A True Master couldn’t help but ask.
Qingxu True Monarch finally showed expression at this point, and he replied with a sneer,
“I too would like to know who rang the Wendao Bell nine tis and also invited people from the Upper Pure Sect and the Yuhua Sect in advance.”
So it turned out that Qingxu True Monarch had not been inford beforehand!
Many people present showed expressions of shock and doubt.
“Qing Xu.”
Qingxu True Monarch’s gaze landed on Qingxu True Monarch.
At this mont, sitting in his seat, he looked like a Divine King overseeing the mundane world, his presence fully unleashed, exerting trendous pressure!
Qingxu True Monarch’s face turned serious as he stepped forward and saluted Qingxu True Monarch: “Qing Xu brother.”
“Tell , what is going on here?”
Qingxu True Monarch asked in a calm tone.
But everyone present could feel the imnse anger hidden beneath the calm!
The Emperor’s wrath results in a sea of corpses.
Though not an Emperor, the True Monarch’s rage could equally lead to rivers of blood!
Sweat dripped from Qingxu True Monarch’s forehead, and before he could speak, a deep voice ca from outside the Great Hall:
“I had soone call them here, and I ordered the ringing of the Wendao Bell!”
People turned around to look, and they saw a man in a Daluo Sect Taoist robe – tall and strong, over two ters in height, with bronze skin and wild black hair – striding into the Great Hall.
Behind him followed a dozen or so practitioners from the Daluo Sect, all either Great Grandmasters or Martial Arts Masters.
Li Fei then realized that the majority of the strong figures from the Daluo Sect inside the Great Hall were True Masters, with very few Martial Artists among them.
“Uncle Master Tai Yu!”
“Greetings to our Ancestor, Uncle Master Tai Yu!”
“Greetings to Senior Tai Yu!”
“…”
Whether from the Daluo Sect, the Upper Pure Sect, or the Yuhua Sect, everyone in the Great Hall paid their respects to the newcor.
Tai Yu was the most senior and oldest predecessor currently in the Daluo Sect.
He was Qingxu True Monarch’s uncle master, and another peak figure of the Sect – a Martial Saint of the mortal realm!
Tai Yu was already over two hundred years old. Although he had reached the summit of Martial Arts, he often secluded himself in ditation, exploring the limits of Martial Arts.
At the last eting, the chair to the right of Qingxu True Monarch was empty; it was reserved for Tai Yu, who did not attend due to being in seclusion.
Upon seeing Tai Yu, Qingxu True Monarch did not display surprise.
However, he did not rise to greet the other, but remained seated in his place.
In terms of seniority, he was indeed Tai Yu’s junior and should have paid homage.
But in terms of status, he was the Master of the Daluo Sect!
“Oh?”
Qingxu True Monarch, seeing Tai Yu enter the Great Hall, indifferently said, “The nine tolls of the Wendao Bell signify the intent to re-elect the Master, yet I, the current Master, was completely unaware of it. Does Uncle Master Tai Yu still recognize as the Master?”
His voice thundered, echoing through Taixu Hall like thunder!
Everyone present felt an overwhelming divine might and couldn’t help but awe.
Li Fei was most deeply affected by this, having witnessed such might many tis in the Dream Realm.
He discovered that, even without using the Dream Control Skill to weaken the other, the might of Qingxu True Monarch in the Dream Realm was not as powerful as that of the true self in reality!
“This event today, is it a counterstrike from the Martial Artist lineage of the Daluo Sect against the Magic lineage?”
Li Fei speculated silently.
The Upper Pure Sect was divided into two factions: Taoist lineage disciples and secular disciples, whose internal strife was extrely severe.
The Yuhua Sect was split into three factions, with constant infighting as well.
The Daluo Sect, having both a True Monarch and a Martial Saint, was naturally divided into two factions:
The Magic lineage and the Martial Arts lineage.
But because Tai Yu often retreated into seclusion, rarely involving himself in Sect affairs, and with Qingxu True Monarch’s strong leadership keeping the Sect in good order, the rivalry between the two major factions of the Daluo Sect was not obvious.
