Chapter 3523 The Next Sect Master Candidate

Millions of years to come.

Ancient immortals have been appearing one after another in the Heavenly Sect.

Han Yan!

Jade Emperor!

Yu Ren!

Several people successively broke through to the Dao.

The myriad races of the heavens went from being shocked at the beginning to becoming somewhat numb later on.

"Congratulations, Second Senior Brother, on breaking through to the Ancient Immortal Realm!"

Inside the Heavenly Sect, Gu Bai and the others all offered their congratulations.

Yu Ren also had a faint smile on his face: "You're too kind, fellow disciples!"

That being said.

But Yu Ren was also somewhat excited.

Ancient Wonderland!
Once he truly reached a higher level, a great weight was lifted from his heart.

After all, from Gu Bai onwards, to Han Yan and Yu Yu Shenjun and others who successively broke through, it would be impossible for Yu Ren to say that he felt no pressure at all.

After all, his fellow disciples were all ancient immortals who had attained enlightenment, while he himself remained at the level of Immortal King. How could he not feel pressured?

Fortunately.

This pressure has completely dissipated as I made my breakthrough.

at this time.

Han Yan asked, "Now that Second Senior Brother has broken through to the Ancient Immortal Realm, we should be able to ascend to the Upper Realm. But I wonder what plans Second Senior Brother has for the sect?"

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone had different expressions.

Yes!

Yu Ren ascends to immortality!

Therefore, the position of the sect leader of the Heavenly Sect will inevitably be vacant.

Who will take charge of the sect? That is the question.

one way or another.

The Heavenly Sect was the culmination of Shen Changqing's and his team's efforts. Even after ascending to the Upper Realm, they did not want to see the Heavenly Sect decline one day.

Therefore, the selection of the next sect leader must be approached with utmost care.

Yu Ren said, "Elder Jiang Zhen can be the next sect leader!"

Jiang Town!

Upon hearing the name, the others paused for a moment, then immediately understood.

"Jiangzhen is not bad!"

"This person has no problems in terms of cultivation and ability, and can be the next sect leader!"

They were naturally familiar with Jiangzhen.

In terms of seniority, the other party can be considered one of the oldest members of the Heavenly Sect.

Of the many cultivators who joined the sect at its inception, very few have survived to this day.

Jiangzhen.

Is one of them.

The opponent had already broken through to the Immortal King realm more than a million years ago, so his strength was certainly not weak.

If he were to become the sect leader, he would certainly be qualified.

and so.

When Yu Ren uttered the name, no one objected.

……

one year later.

The Heavenly Sect held a grand ceremony, inviting various factions to attend.

Yu Ren abdicated directly, making Jiang Zhen the next sect leader of Tianzong.

This news.

The many high-ranking members of the Heavenly Sect remained calm, clearly already aware of the matter.

The other cultivators who came to witness the ceremony were shocked, but they quickly came to terms with it.

It's only a matter of time before Yu Ren survives the ancient immortal tribulation and ascends to the upper realm.

If the other party ascends to immortality, then someone will inevitably have to take charge of the sect.

Although Jiang Zhen is not very famous, as a Celestial King, his strength should not be underestimated.

Furthermore, given the demeanor of many high-ranking members of the Heavenly Sect, they seemed to have no objections to this.

Since there are no objections within the Heavenly Sect, other races and forces have even less right to raise objections.

soon.

The succession ceremony of the sect leader was then held.

Everything went quite smoothly.

After the ceremony ended, Yu Ren and Jiang Zhen met alone.

He looked at the cultivator before him and said earnestly, "As the sect leader, you should take it upon yourself to revitalize the sect. Do not let down the hard work of the many cultivators in the sect, and even more so, do not let down your master!"

"Rest assured, Sect Master, I will do my utmost to revitalize the sect!"

Jiang Zhen said in a deep voice.

Yu Ren nodded upon hearing this.

Moreover, he also believed in Jiang Zhen's abilities.

I really want to talk about it.

There are actually quite a few Celestial Kings in the Heavenly Sect today.

Some powerful figures, such as Gu Huangxing of the Ancient Wilderness lineage, Tian Kui of the Crimson Owl lineage, Tai Shan of the Black Demon lineage, Ba Tian Shen Jun, and some members of the Thunder Swamp lineage, are all capable of reaching the Immortal King level.

However, Yu Ren ultimately chose to let Jiang Zhen take charge of the sect, and there were reasons for that.

The first is ability.

The second issue concerns the interests of the Heavenly Sect.

People like Gu Huangxing and Taishan are all in charge of their own clans. If they are the leaders of the Heavenly Sect, then it's hard to say whether the Heavenly Sect belongs to the Heavenly Sect itself or to the clan forces behind them.

After all, as the head of a clan, it would be impossible for him to be completely without any selfish motives.

Only the Overlord God is free from racial ties.

After all, the Devouring Beasts are extremely rare. To date, there is only one Devouring Beast in the lineage, the Overlord God.

However, the other party, who was in charge of the Hall of Military Merit, had never wanted to get involved in too many things and had no desire for power whatsoever.

and so.

The Overlord God is naturally unsuitable to take charge of the Heavenly Sect.

One to two to go.

That left only Jiangzhen.

Jiang Zhen came from the Spirit Frog clan, but that clan had long been wiped out.

Like the Overlord God, the other party is all alone and not bound by any racial or power forces behind him, so he can naturally be the master of the Heavenly Sect.

at this time.

Yu Ren paused for a moment, then said, "You must remember that the leader of the Heavenly Sect must prioritize the position of Sect Master. If you step down from the position of Sect Master in the future, you must carefully select the next Sect Master. You must not make any mistakes."

Nowadays, although the various branches of the sect are loyal enough to the sect, they must not take charge of the sect.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Sect might no longer be the Heavenly Sect!

"I understand!"

Jiang Zhen nodded.

How could he not know the complex relationships and interests behind this?

Seeing this, Yu Ren said nothing more.

Everything that needed to be explained has been explained; the rest can be left to Jiang Zhen to handle.

"When does the old sect master plan to ascend to the upper realm?"

"Ten thousand years from now! I have just broken through and need to consolidate my cultivation. I will leave the affairs of the sect to you. If you encounter any trouble that you cannot resolve, you may come to me!"

"Thank you, Elder Sect Master!"

Jiang Zhen bowed.

He naturally understood the real reason why Yu Ren hadn't ascended to immortality immediately.

Break through the ancient fairyland.

Normally, one can ascend directly.

The other party won't leave.

Perhaps he was worried that he would be unable to stabilize the situation in the Heavenly Sect, so he stayed behind to help him completely control the entire sect over a period of 100,000 years.

Although Yu Ren didn't say these words, Jiang Zhen could tell.

In fact.

In Jiang Zhen's view, Yu Ren's move was quite beneficial to him.

After all, with this old sect leader supporting him, it would be much easier for him to take control of the sect.

otherwise.

As the sect leader, it probably won't be so easy for me to truly command the sect.

Despite the fact that none of the sect's high-ranking members objected during the succession ceremony, the succession was not a significant event.

After all.

They only dared not say anything because of Yu Ren's reputation.

How many of the Immortal Kings of each lineage could remain unmoved by the position of sect leader?

If Yu Ren and the others ascend to immortality, he, as the sect leader, will not only be invisible, but will also likely find it difficult to wield much power.

But now that Yu Ren has postponed his ascension for 100,000 years, things are different.

……

Subsequent time.

Yu Ren was in seclusion.

He has handed over all matters concerning the sect to Jiang Zhen to handle.

With the former sect leader not having ascended to immortality, all the other branches kept a low profile, suppressing their many thoughts and daring not to make any moves.

After all, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that Yu Ren is suppressing his cultivation and not ascending to the next level; what exactly is his purpose?

This way.

Jiang Zhen's leadership of the sect went much more smoothly.

The years are long.

Ten thousand years pass in the blink of an eye.

This day.

Yu Ren found the Overlord God.

"The sect leader has arrived!"

"I am no longer the sect leader, Elder Batian, there is no need for you to be so polite. I have come here today because I would like to ask for your help with something."

Yu Ren didn't beat around the bush; he went straight to the point.

The Overlord God smiled faintly: "Sect Master, you must have come for Jiang Town, right?"

"Elder Batian is right. I am about to ascend to the upper realm, and Gu Bai and the others will also ascend with me."

While we are still alive, the various factions will naturally not take any action.

However, if we leave, I fear the sect will inevitably experience some turmoil.

Therefore, the purpose of my visit is to request the Overlord God to assist Jiang Zhen in taking charge of the Heavenly Sect. If any cultivators attempt to cause trouble, we must suppress them with all our might!

When Yu Ren uttered the last sentence, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

A strong and chilling killing intent had already permeated the main hall.

The Overlord God nodded: "Alright!"

"Very well, with the elder's words, I can rest assured!"

Yu Ren finally smiled, and the chilling killing intent emanating from him vanished instantly.

Having received the promise from the Overlord God, his last worry dissipated.

after all.

This person is quite capable.

His cultivation level has already reached the level of a half-step ancient immortal.

Let alone the Heavenly Sect.

Even looking at the entire universe, the strength of the Overlord God is among the very top-tier group.

Although the Heavenly Sect now has some Immortal Kings and its various branches are quite powerful, they are not a big problem for the Overlord God.

With the other side supporting Jiang Zhen, Yu Ren believed that even if they ascended to immortality, the Heavenly Sect would not face any major trouble.

in contrast.

If the Overlord God is unwilling to get involved in sect affairs, that would be the real problem.

Fortunately.

His status as Shen Changqing's personal disciple ultimately earned him some respect from the other party.

Yu Ren understood this very well.

As the former sect leader, it wasn't easy for him to command the Overlord God.

The reason the other party was willing to obey was ultimately because of Shen Changqing's influence.

at this point.

Yu Ren was well aware of this.

Therefore, he respected Batian Shenjun from beginning to end.

Subsequently.

Yu Ren then took his leave.

Inside the vast hall, only the Overlord God remained.

"That person is not only exceptionally talented, but also has excellent judgment. Several of his personal disciples have entered the Ancient Immortal Realm, making them top figures in this world."

Now that Yu Ren and the others are preparing for ascension, I wonder when I will be able to take that final half-step!

The Heavenly Lord's expression was complicated. Strictly speaking, Yu Ren and the others could be considered his juniors.

However, these younger generations cultivated for only a few million years and broke through to the Ancient Immortal Realm one after another, and were about to ascend to the Upper Realm.

Looking at myself, I've remained at the level of a half-step ancient immortal for so many years, unable to break through.

The gap lies in that.

It's frustrating, to say the least.

But there's no way around it; breaking through to the Ancient Immortal realm is by no means easy.

Suppressing his distracting thoughts, the Overlord God closed his eyes and continued his secluded cultivation.
