Chapter 720: 472 Chapter_2
Even the Golden Core Realm cultivators of the Qingyang Temple and the Cloud Water Secret Realm were becoming more solemn at this moment.
According to their intelligence, it had only been half a year since Meng Dian passed the Heavenly Tribulation.
Logically, even if he built up strength slowly, he shouldn’t be this powerful.
If he truly had such terrifying talent, the Guiyuan Sect wouldn’t have been just one of the major sects in Central State in the past, but the strongest sect.
The only explanation is that he somehow obtained some powerful Magical Treasure.
Only with the augmentation of such a Magical Treasure could he unleash such a terrifying aura.
"No wonder Meng Dian is so confident, making trouble for the Holy Mountain right at the start of the Holy Assembly, it seems this is his backup."
Suddenly, everyone came to a realization.
Earlier, they found it odd that Meng Dian seemed too impatient.
The Holy Assembly had just started, nothing had been discussed yet, and he directly challenged the three Saint Masters.
Turns out, he had enough confidence, wanting to seize power from the Holy Mountain before the formal start of the Assembly.
Seeing everyone intimidated by his aura, Meng Dian felt an indescribable pleasure in his heart.
The speed of the Dark Skill circulating within him also accelerated.
He stared straight ahead, his aura growing more menacing: "Three Saint Masters, I wonder, what do you think of my proposal just now?"
In the face of Meng Dian’s increasingly fierce aura, the expression of the First Saint Master remained mostly unchanged.
He sighed: "In fact, as long as one’s virtue is sufficient, anyone can take the position of the Righteous head, our Holy Mountain doesn’t care too much about it.
As long as the sect holding this position values the lives of all people and leads the Righteous Path.
Then our Holy Mountain doesn’t mind relinquishing this position, what harm is there in that."
Upon hearing this, everyone was once again astonished.
The First Saint Master seemed to be willing to let other sects assume the position of the Righteous head?
Even Meng Dian did not expect the First Saint Master to respond this way.
He squinted his eyes: "So, the Holy Mountain is willing to step down and let the virtuous lead?"
"Yes, the old man just said, as long as a sect can prioritize the lives of all, the Holy Mountain is willing to give up the position and honor them as the Righteous head," said the First Saint Master decisively.
Hearing the First Saint Master’s straightforward answer, Meng Dian was instead caught off guard.
He looked at the First Saint Master suspiciously, only to find that not only was the First Saint Master’s expression calm, but the other two Saint Masters showed no opposition either.
The other sect forces were the same.
Their initial thought was that the Holy Mountain convened this Assembly because the three Saint Masters were displeased with the changes in the world and wanted to regain control.
But now, it seemed that was not the case at all.
Is this a retreat to advance, or do they have other intentions?
What exactly are these three old monsters plotting?
For a moment, this thought crossed many people’s minds again.
"Mr. Meng, what do you think? As long as your Guiyuan Sect can promise to prioritize the lives of all in the future, then even if we make you the head of the Righteous Path, it would be no problem," smiled the First Saint Master as he looked at Meng Dian.
Meng Dian was silent for a moment before speaking: "May I ask the elder Saint Master, what constitutes prioritizing the lives of all?"
"That’s easy to say, and speaking of it, it’s also the reason why we three old men convened this Holy Assembly.
Now that the world is changing due to the recovery of spiritual energy, talents are emerging, and the strong are plentiful, making the world chaotic.
Many sects have sparked numerous conflicts to seize cultivation resources and sect territories.
Fighting fiercely, with many casualties, and even the destruction of sects.
Moreover, ordinary people are displaced, unable to live peacefully.
If the fighting continues, I’m afraid countless common people will die or be injured.
So we three old men decided to convene a Holy Assembly, just like a thousand years ago.
Inviting all sects to come up with some rules together.
We hope that if there are disputes in the future, you can restrain yourselves and avoid places where common people gather and live.
Be compassionate, and do not treat the lives of ordinary people as ants, trampling on them at will."
The First Saint Master’s words were solemn, spoken slowly.
His words shocked everyone’s heart and spirit present.
They couldn’t speak for a moment, just stared in a daze at the three figures in the center of the huge stone platform.
The First Saint Master then addressed Meng Dian again: "Mr. Meng, didn’t you just ask what constitutes prioritizing the lives of all?"
"Our demands are not much, if your Guiyuan Sect wishes to be the head of the Righteous Path, it’s simple."
"As long as you can ensure that in the future, you can restrain the world’s cultivators, not to harm ordinary people without cause, providing a strand of vitality to the common people.
Just like the things the Holy Mountain has done for thousands of years, then we old men will not mind recognizing your Guiyuan Sect as the head!"
These last few words, the First Saint Master said with unwavering firmness.
This made everyone feel.
As long as Meng Dian dared to nod, this old man would truly recognize Guiyuan Sect as the Righteous head.
But did Meng Dian dare to nod?
He really wanted to nod.
But under the watchful eyes of the crowd, for some reason, his neck became extremely stiff.
His face turned somewhat pale, and he couldn’t bring himself to nod.
"Are these three really just for the lives of all?"
In the location of the Qingyang Temple, an old Taoist with black hair and a black beard revealed amazement.
Even he did not expect the reason the three Saint Masters convened the Holy Assembly was exactly as they said in the invitation.
For the lives of all, to seek a thread of vitality.
"Our Qingyang Temple does not have the magnanimity of this Holy Mountain."
Beside the black-bearded old Taoist, a Daoist with white hair and youthful features sighed.
Before coming, he too speculated about the intentions of the three Saint Masters.
It seems now that he, the Qingyang Temple Master, judged the intentions with a small-minded heart.
"Are these three old fellows truly just for the lives of all?"
From the location of the Cloud Water Secret Realm, a figure showed an astonished look.
"Indeed, these three are truly those with the utmost goodness, no wonder they are recognized by the esteemed one."
Over at the Cold Water Palace, Han Lingshuang also smiled.
When she hosted Lu Qing, there was some talk of the Holy Mountain.
Lu Qing had spoken with considerable admiration for the three Saint Masters.
Now she finally understood the reason.
As for the remaining other sects, needless to say.
They would never have thought the true reason the three Saint Masters convened the Holy Assembly was this.
Involuntarily, all eyes fell on Meng Dian.
The First Saint Master’s words were already very clear.
They all wanted to see if he dared to accept.
