Chapter 240 The Eight Great Factions
240 The Eight Great Factions
The holy light flickered, and a powerful spatial power burst forth. Ripples appeared, and with that, Dao Ming, Ling Ran, and the others suddenly disappeared. Their auras disappeared from the world as if they had never existed.
“They’re leaving just like that? That’s way too fast!”
“Earlier, there seemed to be a flash of Emperor runes. Could that have been an emperor-grade teleportation array?”
“As expected of the Heavenly Dao Mansion. They’re really generous. They’ve even taken out an emperor-grade teleportation array.”
“I hope that when I meet them again, they’ll have already become the best among the best.”
Many people sighed, shocked by the scene just now.
At this moment, Ji Daozi came to Qin Chen’s side and smiled, “Fellow Daoist, you don’t have to worry. This is just the beginning. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to go to the nine Heavens in the future.”
“This matter is over. Daoist Ji, take care,” Qin Chen cupped his hands and went back to the inn to find the big scorpion, who was still gambling with the other talents. Then, they returned to the Taiyi Holy Land together.
Seeing the Elder King return, Lu Xuan, Lu Feng, and the other elders all came to see him.
“Elder King, Holy Lord Ling Ran has gone to Chiyang Heaven, but the Taiyi Holy Land can’t be without a leader. Elder King, please appoint the next Holy Lord,” Lu Xuan said. After the restoration of Heaven and Earth, his cultivation had soared to the threshold of the Sage realm. Even his appearance had become younger by more than ten years.
Qin Chen touched his chin. It had been a long time since he had managed the affairs of the Taiyi Holy Land, “Who do you think is the most suitable candidate to be the Holy Lord?”
“Elder King, vice Holy Lord Lu Feng has been in power for many years and has always been diligent towards the sect. Although his cultivation is a little weak, he has a good reputation in the sect and can take on the great responsibility of being the Holy Lord.”
“Elder King, Lu Feng can take on this role.”
“We all recommend vice Holy Lord Lu Feng.”
With Lu Xuan in the lead, the group of elders all recommended Lu Feng. Qin Chen’s clone had stayed in the sect day and night, and he heard many disciples praise Lu Feng for being fair. The boy could indeed take on great responsibilities.
Therefore, Qin Chen announced loudly, “From now on, Lu Feng is the Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land. He can execute all the rights of the Holy Lord.”
“The Elder King is wise!” Everyone shouted in unison.
Qin Chen took out another divine-grade cultivation technique as a reward for Lu Feng. This was to express his appreciation for the latter’s hard work over the years. It made the surrounding elders envious.
Almost all the human factions in the Canglan Continent came to congratulate Taiyi Holy Land on its new Holy Lord. Even the ancient imperial clans and the ancient shaman race sent gifts. Although these people were only doing it for Qin Chen, this also indirectly made Lu Feng the most ostentatious Holy Lord in the history of Taiyi Holy Land.
Qin Chen naturally did not care about these worldly matters. Ever since he returned to the Taiyi Holy Land, he secluded himself in the great emperor’s palace to cultivate, quietly waiting for the forbidden grounds to open.
A week after the Heavenly Dao Mansion left the ten lands, the world changed again. Dazzling holy light burst out everywhere in the ten lands. The other factions of the eight other Heavens besides Chiyang Heaven had also arrived in the ten lands, making the ten lands lively again.
“The first heaven, Taihuang Heaven, Taihuang Pavilion, invites the geniuses of the ten lands to Taihuang Heaven.”
“The second heaven, Taiyu Heaven, Yuxu Sect, invites the geniuses of the ten lands to Taiyu Heaven.”
“The third heaven, Qinghe Heaven, Tianqing Sect, invites the geniuses of the ten lands to go to Qinghe Heaven.”
“The fourth heaven, Xuanping Heaven, Mystic Sword Sect, invites the geniuses of the ten lands to Xuanping Heaven.”
“The fifth heaven, Yuanju Heaven, Tianyuan Divine Sect, invites the geniuses of the ten lands to Yuanju Heaven.”
“The sixth heaven, Liuhe Heaven, Liudao Sect, invites the geniuses of the ten lands to heaven of Liuhe Heaven.”
“The seventh heaven, Xuheng Heaven, Void Divine Pavilion, invites the geniuses of the ten lands to Xuheng Heaven.”
“The eighth heaven, Taiji Heaven, Taiji Sect, invites the geniuses of the ten lands to Taiji Heaven.”
The eight factions were recruiting geniuses from the ten lands at the same time. When they found out that the people from the Heavenly Dao Mansion had already come, they were all furious. However, when they found out that the Elder King, ancient princes, and the others had not gone to Chiyang Heaven, they smiled mockingly instead.
The young talents of the ten lands all went to the factions they wanted to join. Some were directly selected, while others were mercilessly ridiculed. Some were happy, while others were sad. However, until now, the Elder King and ancient princes were no show.
Half a month later, the eight factions met in Tianxia City to discuss how to recruit people like the Elder King and ancient princes.
“The human Elder King and the two ancient princes of the primordial sage race must enter the Taihuang Pavilion,” The elder of the Taihuang Pavilion snorted. He was determined to win over the Elder King and the two ancient princes of the primordial sage race.
The elder of the Yuxu Sect laughed out loud and said loudly, “With the relationship between the Elder King and the two ancient princes, do you think they will choose the same sect? The Yuxu Sect isn’t greedy, we only want the human Elder King.”
“Hmph!” The elder of Mystic Sword Sect snorted and said, “we want one of the three.”
Seeing that the three factions of the three upper heavens had locked in the three most talented people of the ten lands, the elders of the other sects were angry but didn’t dare to say anything. They could only take a step back and set their sights on the other geniuses.
“The Tinayun Divine Sect wants the Ji family’s son.”
“The Xushen Pavilion wants an ancient prince.”
“The Liudao Sect also wants an ancient prince.”
“…”
The group continued to argue. Suddenly, the elder of Mystic Sword Sect snorted coldly, “Since we can’t come to an agreement, then we’ll rely on our own abilities.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the people of the eight factions dispersed unhappily. That day, the eight great factions visited the ancestral land of the primordial sage race together but were all politely refused. Sheng Xuan said that the ancient princes had not been born yet, and sent everyone away.
The people of the eight factions naturally didn’t believe it. Those from the three upper sects even wanted to use force. However, when Sheng Xuan took out the heavenly sovereign’s decree, they chose to stop and not fall out with the primordial sage race.
Since they couldn’t recruit the ancient princes of the primordial sage race, everyone turned their attention to the human Elder King. Four hours later, eight God realm experts appeared in the Taiyi Holy Land, which frightened the disciples.
“Where is the human Elder King? Hurry up and come out to meet us,” The elder of the Taihuang Pavilion shouted, and Godly might out of his body. It enveloped the Taiyi Holy Land, making the disciples tremble.
However, Qin Chen was currently in seclusion in the great emperor’s palace and did not sense their auras at all, so he did not respond.
Seeing that the human Elder King didn’t react, the elder of the Taihuang Pavilion was a little angry. He harrumphed and released his Godly might to search for his target. However, when his aura came into contact with the great emperor’s palace, a monstrous emperor’s might suddenly burst out from the palace. Before the Taihuang Pavilion’s elder could react, he was sent flying.
The elders of the other seven factions all looked at him with ridicule, which made the Taihuang Pavilion elder feel embarrassed. He immediately burst out with even more terrifying Godly might.
