After practicing all night, Wan Ying felt refreshed, but in the second half of the night, Chen Ke asked her to rest.
Wanying didn't understand. As long as a practitioner concentrated on his Dantian, he could use spiritual power to restore his body and dispel fatigue. Why should she go to rest?
Wan Ying did not disobey Chen Ke's words and turned around to go to her room to rest. However, she lay on the bed and became more energetic. She lay down to practice without any impact.
Yesterday, Chen Ke ordered preparations for an ancestor worship meeting in Lingkong Mountain. Li Kui sent someone to notify the subordinate sects in Lingkong Mountain and come together to worship.
It is not to worship the founder of Lingkong Mountain, but to worship the new young master of Lingkong Mountain.
Li Kui was also affected by Liu Bailie's incident and felt that even if the young master walked out of Lingkong Mountain, he could not be regarded as nothing by others, so he ordered the subordinate sects of Lingkong Mountain to come and worship.
A subordinate sect is similar to a subordinate sect, but there are some differences. Belonging to a sect is like having Lingkong Mountain as the leader, and the other sects are all members of it. They were originally allies, but with the rapid increase in Lingkong Mountain's strength, these allies could only become Lingkong Mountain's subordinates.
During Chen Ke's absence, Li Kui not only developed internal affairs, but also expanded outward. Lingkong Mountain's power in the east and west has basically remained unchanged, and it has always been an area of about 5,000 miles in radius.
Lingkong Mountain continued to expand the power of the subordinate sects in the north and south, and even fought against other superior sects. Lingkong Mountain was very powerful and directly annexed the other superior sect and its subordinate sects.
Lingkong Mountain has expanded to the north for fifteen thousand miles and to the south for more than thirty thousand miles. It belongs to nearly a thousand sects, including hundreds of fourth-level sects.
As long as there is a strong person in the sect that is in the realm of condensation, the sect can be promoted to a fourth-class sect.
Lingkong Mountain actually belonged to hundreds of fourth-level sects. It wasn't until Chen Ke heard the news that he looked at Li Kui with surprise.
"Old Li, you really gave me big news!" Chen Ke couldn't help but say.
He was used to being undisciplined, especially after avenging his aunt, Chen Ke didn't care about things like territory and territory. He left all the affairs of Lingkong Mountain to Li Kui, just to practice with peace of mind and do his own thing. , don’t want any trouble.
As a result, Li Kui not only did it well, but also made Lingkong Mountain's power increase so quickly.
Li Kui said: "The main reason is that senior brother, your realm is getting higher and higher. Many sects knew that we had a war of leadership in the past and surrendered directly. We could have expanded to the north and south, but the distance was too far and we couldn't manage it after the war. , even if the Dao Seal transmits the message, it is beyond the reach, so I chose to give up."
The territory under Lingkong Mountain was too large, and the gate of Lingkong Mountain did not have so much power to restrain the subordinate sects below. Li Kui did not want the power under Lingkong Mountain to collapse, so he chose to stop the southward expansion and temporarily withdraw his troops.
One hundred thousand Hengduan Mountains are one hundred thousand miles from north to south and one hundred thousand miles from east to west. But there are only four top sects in charge. Each sect only occupies an area of more than 50,000 miles. It’s not that they don’t want to occupy more. One is because other top sects are in charge, and the other is because the territory is too long, which makes it impossible to restrain subordinate sects that are too far away. Door.
Just like the Qingmu Sect, they only build garrison stations in some places where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is particularly abundant, and serve as temporary mountain gates to govern nearby territories.
Just like Lingkong Mountain, it is on the edge of Shiwan Hengduan Mountain and is tens of thousands of miles away from the Aoki Sect. As a result, although the nearby area is a subordinate sect of the Aoki Sect, not many people care about the Aoki Sect.
Especially the big sects have different attitudes towards the subordinate sects. Some treat the subordinate sects as a branch sect, while some only treat the subordinate sects as tribute states.
Li Kui's subordinate relationship is that of superior and subordinate. He doesn't care how the subordinate sects behave, but he requires that the heads of each subordinate sect need to obtain the consent of Lingkong Mountain to take over, and 30% of the spiritual crystal harvest must be paid.
It was harsh, but the subordinate sects below all accepted it, especially a few sects who refused to accept it. After Lingkong Mountain took action, no one dared to disobey Lingkong Mountain's order.
It seems that the style of the Wufang Taoist period has reappeared, but this time it is not Wufang Taoist who is in charge of Lingkong Mountain, but Chen Ke who is in charge of Lingkong Mountain.
When Chen Ke reached the golden elixir realm that day, it had already shocked the Shiwan Hengduan Mountains. Especially when he was fighting against Xiang Huozi who came from Mohai, Chen Ke's reputation was not weaker than other old guys in the golden elixir realm.
Moreover, Chen Ke was nominally an outer disciple of the Qingmu Sect, and had a very ambiguous relationship with the new sect leader of the Qingmu sect, Ye Mingyue, who was actually the acting sect leader, which made some people who knew the inside story dare not resist Lingkong Mountain.
Chen Ke was going to hold an ancestor worship ceremony, so Li Kui asked some of the nearest fourth-class sects to come and participate in the ceremony.
After preparing everything, Chen Ke came to the newly built worship hall. The worship hall is usually the sect hall of a sect, and is responsible for sect affairs such as sacrifices, prayers, opening of sects and accepting disciples.
The Lingkong Hall was originally the sect's main hall. After Chen Ke rebuilt this worship hall, the Lingkong Hall has been changed to the sect master's hall, where the sect master handles sect affairs.
The main hall of the sect is the new main hall. Chen Ke took Wan Ying to the entrance of the front hall of the main hall. Many people had gathered in the outer circle of the main hall.
Practitioners with strong breaths, luxurious clothes and different styles stood at the door, seemingly waiting for someone.
Chen Ke led Wan Ying in the front, followed by Li Kui and Xie Hongfei, as well as Hu Xiaoxue and Wan Ying's four female disciples.
"I've met Sect Leader Chen!"
Hundreds of people saluted and said hello to Chen Ke. Wan Ying looked a little nervous, but she was still a little shocked in her heart. Is this the power of Master!
"Fellow Taoists, you don't need to be polite. If you can rush to Lingkong Mountain in one night to witness the ancestor worship at Lingkong Mountain, it can be regarded as giving Chen a piece of noodles." Chen Ke said with a smile.
These people belonging to the sect said they did not dare, and waited for Chen Ke to walk past them one by one.
A wide avenue paved with white jade passes through the tall gate of the front hall and leads directly to the main hall of the sect's main hall.
Standing on both sides were disciples wearing black brocade robes embroidered with silver cloud patterns. They were tall and tall, with bright eyes, and they lined up all the way to the entrance of the main hall.
"Follow me, don't be afraid." Chen Ke said to Wan Ying with a smile.
Although the little girl had experienced evil spirits attacking the city, she had never experienced a big scene where thousands of people admired her. She felt a little nervous. Chen Ke felt it clearly and spoke to comfort her.
"Um."
Wan Ying calmed down a little and followed Chen Ke closely, feeling envied and awed by everyone.
I envy this little girl to reach the sky in one step and become the disciple of a strong man in the Golden Core Realm and the young master of Lingkong Mountain. What stood in awe was Chen Ke standing behind her, a strong man in the Golden Core Realm who was enough to let her roam freely in Shiwan Hengduan Mountain!
In the main hall today, the person who presided over the worship ceremony was Hua Moxi, who was also the original handyman disciple of the fifth hall. He has good talent and got a spiritual vein spirit stone from Chen Ke. After refining it, his cultivation level has reached the late stage of Dan Condensation Realm.
Hua Moxi is the person who has been in Lingkong Mountain for the longest time. He was just a member of the Miscellaneous Pavilion at first, but he had a good relationship with Li Kui. He was transferred to the fifth hall by Li Kui. Hua Moxi has been practicing for forty years, but his spiritual pulse is an ordinary talent. The spiritual vein has always been in the middle stage of Daoji Realm and cannot be improved.
Chen Ke gave him the spirit vein spirit stone and the ten years of experience in cultivating the flower moxibustion, directly urging him to improve his realm. He had been in seclusion before, and when he came out of seclusion, he was already in the middle stage of the condensation realm. Recently, he has broken through to the late stage of the condensation realm. He is considered the most powerful person in Lingkong Mountain.
"Sect master, young master." Hua Moxi bowed his hands and bowed.
Even at the late stage of the Dan Condensation Realm, when facing Wan Ying, Hua Moxi was extremely respectful and did not dare to go out of his way in the slightest.
"Well, start?" Chen Ke asked.
"Yes." Hua Moxi nodded, looked at the many disciples in the main hall, and said loudly: "The ancestor worship ceremony has begun. Please pray to the ancestor."
An elder had already arrived at the side holding a brocade scroll with Lingkong Mountain's recent achievements written on it.
Chen Ke carried out the ceremony step by step, and it took more than an hour before the ancestor worship ceremony ended.
At this point, Chen Ke can just announce the end and reward everyone.
However, Chen Ke walked under the statues of the three ancestors. He stood in the center of the hall, looked at the many elders of Lingkong Mountain below, and said slowly: "Some small things happened recently. I thought I told Li Kui, Ma Yangming and the others. It’s okay, but there are still some flaws, so I specially held the ancestor worship ceremony this time for this very reason.”
Everyone knows what it is. Chen Ke said it was a small matter, but in fact it was a big deal to these people.
The young master was humiliated by his slaves in his own home. If this happened, all the elders present are responsible. Because, without Chen Ke's orders, they were just servant disciples, not elders.
To be disrespectful to the young master is to be disrespectful to the sect leader Chen Ke!
Li Kui and others lowered their heads one after another, expressing their shame, because the matter was not handled well and Shaozong was humiliated, which was their heavy responsibility.
Chen Ke nodded slightly and asked Wan Ying to light three sticks of incense. After taking them, he kowtowed to the statue of the ancestor above: "Disciple Chen Ke pays tribute to the teacher. The disciple accepts Wan Ying from Yinfeng City as his disciple. He will enlighten the nine heavens and connect the ten. Earth, I hope the ancestor will protect his disciples."
Chen Ke put the incense in the incense burner.
"kneel!"
Hua Moxi glanced at Wan Ying and gave her a hint.
Seeing this, Wan Ying knelt down and kowtowed. She knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times: "Disciple pays homage to the master."
After Wan Ying finished her salute, Chen Ke said again: "Salute and kowtow to the master."
Wan Ying kowtowed to the three statues again, each kneeling three times and nine times.
When people around the hall saw this scene, they all secretly became alarmed. When they returned home, they told their disciples not to insult the new young master of Lingkong Mountain.
"It's done." Hua Moxi said seriously.
