Chapter 2671 - 1226: Dividing the Dan (Part 2)
Chapter 2671: Chapter 1226: Dividing the Dan (Part 2)
After Zhang Daoshun’s fall, when the four factions needed to strike at competitors, they would use this reason to make things difficult for other Daoist Academies.
For example, if there are ten Golden Liquid Jade Pills in a cauldron, the Jumang Lineage would typically get two pills, but if the Kunpeng Lineage wants to suppress them, they might allocate one pill from the Jumang Lineage’s share to a sect outside the Four Great Daoist Sects, showcasing fairness and impartiality.
At that time, if the Jumang Lineage’s Three Great Halls don’t have enough strength, they’ll just have to endure.
But now all four factions have Divinity Transformation cultivators.
With each Shock God Condensing Spirit Pill belonging to one lineage, no one would possibly give it up.
However, while everyone was puzzled, no one spoke up. Since Chen Mobai mentioned it, he must have already thought it through.
"Yu Yi of the Heavenly Book Academy has been diligent over the years, and has contributed significantly in opening two wars. I think she can be set as an example this time."
As soon as Chen Mobai said this, everyone suddenly understood.
Yu Yi is from the Heavenly Book Academy, which, in the eyes of the Immortal Gate’s populace, isn’t one of the Four Great Daoist Sects. Giving her Deity Transformation resources indeed highlights the rules left by Zhang Daoshun.
Moreover, everyone knows that Yu Yi has actually aligned with the Weapon Dancing Sect over the years.
This kind of allocation covers both face and substance.
However, after understanding, everyone deeply admired Chen Mobai.
After all, even though the Weapon Dancing Sect doesn’t have Nascent Soul Ninth Layer individuals, with Chen Mobai’s influence, he could store the Shock God Condensing Spirit Pill and have Deng Daoyun and others receive it once their cultivation level reaches the required level. Yet, he’s willing to give this opportunity to Yu Yi, allowing all cultivators in the Immortal Gate to see hope for advancement, which shows grandeur.
"I have no objections."
Cheng Xuan was the first to speak, followed by all Divinity Transformations nodding.
Thus, Yu Yi became the third to receive the Shock God Condensing Spirit Pill.
"What about our Sea Territory?" Narcissus cleverly redirected the topic, indicating that she wasn’t easy to dismiss.
"Let’s distribute four pills this time. If the Kunpeng Lineage favors Beiming, then your Sea Territory will just have to wait for the next opportunity. Since we’re all here today, why not have Yuheng True Monarch and Yunhai True Monarch make a promise: if Narcissus plans to leave the Immortal Gate, then the Kunpeng Lineage’s next Shock God Condensing Spirit Pill will belong entirely to your Sea Territory. How about it?"
As the leader of the Immortal Gate, Chen Mobai is extremely skilled in distributing benefits and immediately thought of a method that everyone can accept.
Four factions, four pills, and now only the Kunpeng Lineage’s pill hasn’t been assigned.
According to Qi Yuheng and Yunhai’s intention, it would definitely be given to Beiming, and Chen Mobai undoubtedly needs to give this recognition.
But since Narcissus is her former superior and a good friend, and with the previous Heavenly Realm Pure Water situation owing her a favor, she definitely needs to be taken care of.
"Agreed."
Qi Yuheng had no objections to Chen Mobai’s proposal.
After all, the Sea Territory and the Kunpeng Lineage are originally from the same source. Previously, they heavily relied on the Spiritual Venerable’s reputation, and now, even though the Spiritual Venerable is gone, the favor still remains.
Moreover, Qi Yuheng couldn’t guard the Kunpeng Daoist Institute forever. Future matters would be left to later generations. This also forcibly ties the Sea Territory to the Kunpeng Lineage, with benefits outweighing the disadvantages.
Upon hearing this, Narcissus no longer had anything to say.
Consequently, the distribution of the four Shock God Condensing Spirit Pills was settled this way.
"I think Master Peach Blossom’s previous proposal can also be considered."
At this moment, Cheng Xuan suddenly spoke, drawing everyone’s attention as they thought Chen Mobai had something to add.
But Chen Mobai was slightly puzzled, not knowing what Cheng Xuan intended to say.
"The Three Great Halls, as institutions serving the Immortal Gate’s populace, have indeed made tremendous contributions over thousands of years. To let the Immortal Gate’s people see hope for advancement, they should also know that the key is serving the people. So I think we can arrange for Yu Yi to take charge of the position of the Three Great Hall Masters, and during her tenure, have her accomplish remarkable feats. For example, upgrading the Large Formation, expanding the number of Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, and attributing all achievements to her, then naturally award her the Shock God Condensing Spirit Pill. This way, you accomplish two goals with one move, pleasing everyone."
Cheng Xuan’s words made the Divinity Transformations present change their expressions.
Currently, the Immortal Gate’s Three Great Halls have the Head of Immortal Affairs from the Patching Heaven Lineage; the Kaiyuan Hall Master from the Kunpeng Lineage; and nominally the Orthodox Law Hall Master is Qi Yuheng’s disciple but is from the Weapon Dancing Sect, with the deepest background.
If Yu Yi wants to ascend, then inevitably someone has to step down.
Who should step down?
Upon realizing this, Qing Ping’s expression slightly changed.
Since looking around, their Patching Heaven Lineage seemed the weakest, and Gongye Zhixu was most likely to be ousted.
After Cheng Xuan spoke, everyone looked at Chen Mobai, assuming it was his intention.
At this moment, Cheng Xuan had already transmitted his thoughts to Chen Mobai.
Mainly because back when the Weapon Dancing and Jumang were downcast, they were like brothers in adversity. Now, even though the Weapon Dancing has risen, Cheng Xuan always remembered the past sentiments. Since after the pill distribution, they would be leaving the Earth Element Star, before leaving, Cheng Xuan thought he should pay back these sentiments to prevent difficulties for later generations.
Therefore, Cheng Xuan spoke up this time in support of Master Peach Blossom. His handling was very smooth, combining it with Yu Yi receiving the Shock God Condensing Spirit Pill, which prevented other Divinity Transformations from opposing and even prompted applause.
"Let’s discuss it together, everyone. I find Brother Cheng Xuan’s proposal quite good."
After hearing Cheng Xuan’s reasoning, Chen Mobai definitely needed to show respect by speaking to the others.
And with his words, naturally, everyone would not oppose.
"In that case, how about the Three Great Hall Masters? How do you think the rotation should be settled?"
Seeing everyone’s agreement, Chen Mobai began addressing the derivative topic.
"Since we want all cultivators to see hope for advancement, I believe the positions of the Immortal Gate’s Three Great Hall Masters should have a time limit, such as a maximum of several cycles. This would encourage Nascent Soul cultivators to actively participate in serving the people."
Master Peach Blossom seemed to have received Cheng Xuan’s transmission, thinking that this time, with two Divinity Transformations from the Weapon Dancing Daoist Academy supporting, she could seize the opportunity to help her daughter win a position. So she promptly expressed her thoughts.
Under the current situation, as long as Zhongli Tianyu occupied the Orthodox Law Hall Master’s position indefinitely, with his background, Pei Qingshuang would never have the chance to ascend.
"That might intensify infighting and cause internal consumption during transitions."
Qing Ping expressed her thoughts, for these Divinity Transformations, it’s merely changing a representative. But if so, it would cause many troublesome matters, potentially affecting their plans.
"With Divinity Transformations around, they can stabilize the overall situation." Yunhai said.
Though he’s from the Kunpeng Lineage, Yunhai agrees with the viewpoint that everyone in the Immortal Gate should see hope for advancement, given his origin from the Nature Studies Academy.
At this point, he and Qi Yuheng were not aligned.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuheng frowned.
Currently, there are seven Divinity Transformations in the Immortal Gate. Cheng Xuan, Yunhai, and Peach Blossom share one stance, while Qi Yuheng and Qing Ping have another. Even with Narcissus supporting them, it’s merely a tie.
Earlier, Chen Mobai had already expressed his alignment with Cheng Xuan, so after some consideration, Qi Yuheng didn’t speak further and directly signaled consent.
"It’s a bit excessive having both the Orthodox Law Hall Master and Kaiyuan Hall Master from the Kunpeng Lineage."
After the decision was made, Peach Blossom directly pointed her criticisms at Qi Yuheng.
Upon hearing this, Qing Ping immediately changed her stance, saying Master Peach Blossom made a valid point.
Though Yunhai sided with Qi Yuheng again, the endorsement of Yu Yi was the Weapon Dancing Sect’s objective, supported by Chen Mobai and Cheng Xuan, leaving the Kunpeng Lineage without recourse.
"If there’s to be a time limit, then let’s have Ye Yune step down since she’s older."
Yet Qi Yuheng didn’t want the Jumang Lineage to have it easy. Knowing Master Peach Blossom wanted to clear a path for Pei Qingshuang, he simply relinquished Ye Yune, firmly defending Zhongli Tianyu.
