Cheng Ling returned to Wuxiang Sword Sect, came to Xuan Lingzi's tomb, and poured down a glass of turbid wine.
He also drank a cup and said: "Master, the He family and the Chen family have been destroyed, and your revenge has finally been half paid. During this period, the disciple will accompany you well, and will also track down the whereabouts of the other two groups."
Previously, Liu Qingyan was entrusted to track down the other two groups of people. It has been more than a month and there has been no trace of them.
Now that things in Luoye City have been dealt with, let's stay in the sect and hope to find some clues.
Moreover, he has touched the barrier of Nascent Soul, and while tracing it, he can also practice, and maybe he can break through Nascent Soul.
This turn of events was still not notified to the sect, not even Liu Qingyan knew about it. He really couldn't face Cheng Yanbing directly, so he could only delay it for the time being.
Life has calmed down again, and Cheng Ling is enjoying it. Such a free life is what she wants.
Every day, he practiced step by step as before, and the true energy in his body had reached the peak of perfection. However, there was still a lack of opportunity for the breakthrough of Yuan Ying.
On this day, he was studying the last move of Leiyun Swordsmanship. This fifth move was much more difficult than the first four moves. It took him several months to master it before he touched the edge.
At this moment, many colorful auspicious clouds gathered in the sky. Cheng Ling looked around and saw that it was where the sect leader was retreating.
His heart moved, and he remembered that Liu Qingyan once said that the sect master had been in retreat, preparing to break through the Nascent Soul. Now it seems that there is hope for a baby.
He left the Taoist temple and went to a retreat place. Watch other monks' breakthroughs, and you may be able to find opportunities for your own breakthroughs.
After a while, he arrived at the sect master's retreat place. I saw many disciples sitting cross-legged on the periphery, obviously coming to watch.
The auspicious clouds gathered in the sky very quickly. In less than a moment, a dark mass formed, and wisps of light shone into the secret room.
The spiritual energy of the surrounding world also swarmed in, pouring into the closed room.
Suddenly, the entire secret room seemed to be violently bombarded by someone inside, and it was shattered into pieces.
A man wearing a golden crown and mysterious clothes sat cross-legged and slowly rose from the ground. Soon, the rich spiritual power in the auspicious clouds also poured into his body. It is none other than the sect leader Xuan Wuxiang!
His figure gradually became transparent under the infusion of spiritual power. In his dantian, the shining golden elixir broke into pieces, and a baby image emerged from it.
The golden elixir is broken and the Nascent Soul is born! He has officially entered the realm of Yuanying. His body shape is constantly changing between solidity and illusion, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is also crazily injected into Yuanying.
After a long time, the body completely solidified, and the auspicious clouds in the sky disappeared. Xuan Wuxiang opened his eyes, and a huge pressure spread out, making people shudder.
"Congratulations to the sect master for achieving Nascent Soul!"
The disciples around him rushed to congratulate him first!
Xuan Wuxiang laughed loudly and said: "This sect is very happy to have a baby today, and all the disciples of the sect will be rewarded!"
"Thank you, Sect Master!" All the disciples congratulated him happily and dispersed.
Cheng Ling also left after he finished conceiving the baby!
After Xuan Wu waited for everyone to leave, he came to the residence of the Supreme Elder behind the mountain and walked in.
I saw three people sitting on chairs in the hall, a woman and two middle-aged men, who were the three supreme elders of the Wuxiang Sword Sect.
After he entered, Liu Qingyan said: "Congratulations to Junior Brother Xuan for being promoted to Nascent Soul."
Xuan Wuxiang bowed and said: "Thank you, senior sister, I have met two senior brothers!"
Among monks, seniority has always been judged based on cultivation. Therefore, Xuanwuxiang breaks through
Nascent Soul has naturally risen in seniority, and is comparable to several Supreme Elders as fellow disciples.
Among the three, a middle-aged man dressed in white said: "Junior Brother Xuan is very polite. Now that we have broken through the Nascent Soul, we must choose the next sect leader as soon as possible."
Another middle-aged man in red robe agreed: "What Senior Brother Yang said is true. Back then, Junior Brother Xuan chose five young sect masters. What do you think?"
Obviously the white-robed monk is Yang Sen, and the red-robed monk is Xiao Yan.
Xuan Wuxiang said: "Among the five young sect leaders, Cheng Ling has been missing for many years. The other four are very good and can be considered."
At this time, Liu Qingyan spoke, she said: "I suggest that Cheng Ling be the sect leader!"
The three of them were stunned. Liu Qingyan actually spoke at this time, which was really unexpected. She has never been interested in sect power and only exists as a top combat force.
Besides, even if the sect leader is elected, Cheng Yanbing should be elected! How could it be Cheng Ling?
Yang Sen said: "Senior sister, Cheng Ling has been missing for six years. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to serve as the sect leader!"
Xiao Yan and Xuan Wuxiang both agreed: "Yes, if he were here, he would have to compete with several other young sect leaders, not to mention he has been missing for so many years!"
Liu Qingyan said calmly: "He is back, and now he has perfected the golden elixir."
The three of them were shocked. Cheng Ling's cultivation level improved so quickly. Except for Ling Xiao, several other disciples, Cheng Yanbing, were the Queen of the Golden Pill. Chen Song and Chen Mo were only in the early stage of the Golden Pill. They didn't expect that he would reach perfection.
Xuan Wuxiang said: "Sister, even so, the position of the sect leader cannot be easily designated. Let them compete for it!"
He had already set his sights on Ling Xiao as his successor, so how could he agree easily.
Yang Sen and Xiao Yan also agreed with Xuan Wuxiang's opinion. They have their own preferred candidate, and even if Liu Qingyan has the highest cultivation level, they still have to fight for it.
Liu Qingyan sighed secretly, couldn't these people still see the situation in front of them? Allowing other disciples to succeed as the sect leader will break the balance of the sect. Only by Cheng Ling taking over as the sect leader can he stabilize the factional power within the sect without involving any interests.
However, all three of them objected, and she could not insist on her own way, so she had to say: "In that case, let's hold a competition for the succession of the sect leader, and the winner will naturally become the sect leader!"
The three of them looked at each other with helplessness. In the world of cultivation, cultivation is the key. Determining victory or defeat by fighting is the fairest way to do it. They could only nod at the same time and said: "Just follow senior sister's method!"
After saying that, they all dispersed.
After they left, Liu Qingyan also stood up and walked towards the Taoist temple.
Although Cheng Ling didn't notify her of her return, given her cultivation level, the entire Wuxiang Sword Sect couldn't hide anything. As long as her consciousness swept away, everything would be right before her eyes!
When I arrived at the Taoist temple, I saw Cheng Ling sitting in front of Xuan Lingzi's tomb.
She came closer and said, "Is the matter in Luoye City over?"
"Well, it's over!"
Liu Qingyan looked at him carefully and said in surprise: "I didn't expect that you have reached the peak of Jindan Perfection. I am afraid that you will be able to break through Nascent Soul soon. Your qualifications are indeed extraordinary!"
Cheng Ling said: "Uncle Liao Zan, I'm just lucky."
Liu Qingyan smiled and said: "In this way, the rest of the matter will be easier to handle."
Cheng Ling asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"
"The sect master has broken through the Nascent Soul, and the sect is going to elect a new sect master. I recommend you."
Cheng Ling was startled. He didn't expect that Liu Qingyan would recommend him to be the sect leader. For a moment, he didn't react.
"However, several other Supreme Elders disagreed and believed that the martial arts competition would lead to the sect being defeated.
host. "
"Let them compete in the competition. I am not interested in the position of sect leader."
"How can you not be interested? You must know that no matter who the other people are, taking over as the sect leader will cause unnecessary friction. Only you are the best candidate. And your cultivation level is also the highest. If there is a competition, you will definitely have the advantage!"
Cheng Ling had no choice but to say: "But uncle, I really don't want to be a sect leader!"
Liu Qingyan said: "Don't refuse in a hurry. The position of sect leader has great benefits. I think your master also hopes that you can inherit it. And with your current cultivation level, you won't be able to be here for long, so just treat it as for me." How about buying some time?"
Of course Cheng Ling knew that if Xuan Lingzi was still alive, he might really want to be the leader of the clan. But what did Liu Qingyan mean by buying time? He asked doubtfully: "Buying time for you, what do you say?"
"First, it's what you said, a group of people within the sect. I checked for a month and found nothing. If you become the sect leader, it might be much more convenient. Also, I need some time to break through. god."
Cheng Ling was overjoyed and asked, "Uncle Master, can you break through to become a god?"
Liu Qingyan nodded and said: "Actually, I was able to break through a long time ago, but the sect's forces are so entangled that they don't dare to retreat easily. If you can succeed as the sect leader, I can safely break through!"
"How long do you need to retreat?"
"One year at most!"
Cheng Ling pondered for a while and then made up his mind and said: "Okay, I agree. When will the competition be held and who will participate?"
"If you agree, it can be held in three days. The candidates to participate are the five young sect leaders confirmed that year."
Cheng Ling smiled and said, "I'm afraid there are only four left, maybe only three."
Liu Qingyan asked: "Why?"
"In Luoye City, Chen Hai and Chen Mo are dead. I didn't kill Chen Song, but I was greatly stimulated, so I won't come to participate!"
Liu Qingyan frowned and said: "In this case, it's hard to say. I'm afraid they will expand the number of people competing, especially Yang Sen. The disciples of the Sword Hall have suffered too much and have no vested interests. They will join forces with other forces."
Cheng Ling wondered: "Can he still hire foreign aid?"
Liu Qingyan said: "That's very simple, just accept Yang Sen as a disciple temporarily."
Cheng Ling felt a headache. If he destroyed the Chen family, it would be detrimental to the sect. In the past, although the Chen and Cheng families cooperated with each other, they also restrained each other and could not let one family dominate. But now that the Chen family has been destroyed, the Cheng family can no longer suppress it.
"Can't it be limited to the young sect masters?"
Liu Qingyan smiled bitterly and shook her head, and said: "If Yang Sen and Xiao Yan both agree, I have no choice, and the sect leader will definitely agree. He doesn't want the Cheng family to be the only one. I can't say too much in this regard. After all, I am Yan Bing’s master.”
Cheng Ling said: "Now that Chen Song and Chen Mo are gone, only me, Ling Xiao, and Cheng Yanbing are left. Which force will Grand Elder Yang Sen invite to come? Uncle, do you know?"
Liu Qingyan said: "I don't know, but the number of people will definitely be expanded. At least Wutang and Jiantang will definitely have candidates to participate. I believe they will come to discuss with me tomorrow. Fortunately, you have reached the peak of Jindan perfection. , I’m sure I’m not afraid of others either.”
Cheng Ling was helpless, it didn't matter, just a few days after he was relaxed, he was pushed to the forefront again. But thinking of Xuan Lingzi, I could only nod in agreement, just think that I was protecting the sect for my master! Jianghu, really can't help it!
