Chapter 2157 - Vice Pavilion Master
The vice Pavilion Master of the Clear Void Dao Pavilion was the successor to the Pavilion Master.
Generally speaking, the Clear Void Dao Pavilion would select a Vice Pavilion Master from the sect every five hundred years. Ten years later, the Pavilion Master abdicated and the Vice Pavilion Master succeeded, becoming the new Pavilion Master.
500 years later, it was this cycle again.
The Vice Pavilion Master s" selection was very simple. The Pavilion Master and the nine Great Elders would select ten of the most outstanding Elders or Disciples in the past five hundred years to compete with each other.
The so-called "outstanding" did not merely refer to one"s cultivation and strength.
Those with weaker cultivations who had made outstanding contributions to the sect could also be selected. Of course, there was a minimum cultivation limit, and that was no lower than a Heavenly King Stage cultivator.
The way they fought was also very simple.
The ten cultivators of the Clear Void Dao Pavilion chose one of the ten training s.p.a.ces in each of the various places in the Starsky. After entering one of the training s.p.a.ces, they found the keepsake that they had left behind and returned to the sect.
During this process, all the partic.i.p.ating cultivators would need to suppress their cultivation level to the Inferior Sky King realm. Their goal was for the ten of them to have the same cultivation level and for the compet.i.tion to be as fair as possible.
There were very few partic.i.p.ants in the vice Pavilion Master selection, only a mere ten people. However, to the Clear Void Dao Pavilion, its importance far exceeded that of all the other festivals and festivals held by the Clear Void Dao Pavilion. Because it decided to be the master of the Clear Void Sect for the next five hundred years, almost everyone within the sect paid attention to it.
As a result, when the news of the Vice Pavilion Master s" selection spread, the entire Clear Void Dao Pavilion went into an uproar.
"Why is it starting so quickly? It doesn"t seem to be five hundred years old yet, does it?"
"It"s only four hundred and eighty-four years. It"s still sixteen years away."
"Selecting the vice Pavilion Master now, does Pavilion Master plan to abdicate early?"
"..."
"In that case, ten people will soon be selected from the sect to partic.i.p.ate in the exam. I wonder who will be selected?"
"That goes without saying. Elder Feng Zhuo must be one of them."
"That"s right, there"s no doubt about it. There"s also that palace G.o.d, the Fu Palace Elder, who should be able to make it in as well."
"..."
There was a flurry of discussion inside and outside the sect.
In the countless years of history of the Clear Void Dao Pavilion, the number of times Pavilion Master had chosen a Vice Pavilion Master could be counted on one hand. Under normal circ.u.mstances, it would only begin after five hundred years had pa.s.sed. However, everyone could faintly guess the reason behind Wei Xuanji"s sudden decision.
A few years ago, when Pavilion Master Wei Xuanji led Yuan Hua and a few other Heavenly Emperor Elders to surround and kill Tang Huan, they themselves, and even the entire Clear Void Dao Pavilion became the laughingstock of the Nine Heavens.
He had always been proud and arrogant, but had encountered such a humiliation. It was probably because he felt too ashamed to occupy the position of the Pavilion Master, that he decided to abdicate early.
To this, the disciples of the Clear Void Dao Pavilion were all sighing emotionally. It was only because of Pavilion Master"s bad luck that sshe met a freak like Tang Huan that he was able to suffer such humiliation. Otherwise, he would have to be a five hundred year old Pavilion Master to be able to normally abdicate her position.
However, no matter what the reason was, since Wei Xuanji had made the same decision, there was no way he would change it.
After the initial surprise, the enthusiasm of the many cultivators from the Clear Void Dao Pavilion exploded. They were all discussing who would be selected as the top ten, and who would stand out to become the future Pavilion Master.
Everyone watched as the list of ten names was finally announced three days later.
As expected, Feng Zhuo was among them, ranked first on the list.
No one could be sure if Feng Zhuo would be able to obtain the top spot in the next selection. However, his ranking at the top of the list was absolutely up to everyone"s expectations. Not to mention nearly five hundred years, even in the past five thousand years, Feng Zhuo had been one of the most stunning cultivators of the Clear Void Sect.
After Feng Zhuo was the Divine Inheritance of the Palace.
For a long time now, the Imperial Palace G.o.d"s Inheritance had always been the pride of the heavens. Before Feng Zhuo appeared, many people believed that he had a high chance of becoming the next Pavilion Master of the Clear Void Dao Pavilion. However, after Feng Zhuo appeared, the light from his body was completely covered up, making his entire person dull and devoid of any light.
But even so, he was still one of the top cultivators in the Clear Void Dao Pavilion, and last year he was promoted to a G.o.d King.
To have such a cultivation base at such a young age, his future was limitless. There was not much problem with becoming a Heavenly Emperor; even if he was an Empyrean, there was still a great chance for him.
No one was surprised that he had been selected.
Other than the two newcomers, Feng Zhuo and Gong Shen Fu, the other eight names on the ten names list were all veteran experts of the Clear Void Dao Pavilion, including six Heavenly Emperors and two Peak Heavenly Kings.
They were well-deserved to be selected this time.
"Are you confident in this selection?"
In the sect encampment, on the peak of a mountain, a voice suddenly broke the serenity of the courtyard. The old man in green robe who spoke was shockingly the Ninth Elder of the Clear Void Dao Pavilion.
The surname of this Ninth Elder was Gong, and her name was Tian Xun.
"No!"
A young man with a beautiful appearance like jade couldn"t help but shake his head with a bitter smile when he heard what Duan Ling Tian said, and his brows were filled with an unconcealable helplessness.
This young man was the Divine Inheritance of the Palace.
"That Feng Zhuo …"
Thinking of that monster-like fellow, Gongzi"s heart was filled with frustration.
At that time, he could be promoted to Heavenly King at any time, and he could be said to be in high and mighty spirits. Moreover, at that time, with his cultivation, he was indeed an existence that Feng Zhuo had to look up to. However, he had never expected that Feng Zhuo was actually such a monstrous genius. In an extremely short amount of time, he had actually caught up with him at an extremely frightening speed, and had even completed a reverse.
After that, Feng Zhuo rode a peerless existence. No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to catch up, and the gap between the two parties grew larger and larger.
This kind of change had brought about a great psychological drop to the Divine Feet of the Asgard, to the point that his cultivation for a long period of time after that would be greatly affected. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would already be a peak-level Heavenly King, or even an Upper Sky King.
This time, when he entered the ten names list with Feng Zhuo, he had no confidence at all.
Although all of his and Feng Zhuo"s powers would be suppressed to the level of a lower Sky King once the"s selection test officially began, his compet.i.tive spirit for the top two had been completely wiped out in the past few decades. If there was no Feng Zhuo, he would like to have a good fight with the others.
"He hasn"t even fought yet and he has already lost all his confidence. What kind of situation is this?" Gong Tianxun"s face darkened slightly as anger began to appear between his brows.
"Feng Zhuo, he …" The G.o.d of the palace said slowly.
"Don"t worry about him. You only need to surpa.s.s the other nine in this trial by fire. That will be enough!" A sinister light flickered in the depths of Gong Tianxun"s eyes.
