Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2416: Chapter 1097: Qianxue’s Number 1 Great Sect

At the entrance of the Gu Family.

Wenren Wan held Yu Er’s hand, coming to bid farewell to Mo Hua.

Family Head Gu Shouyan, along with a group of elders, also personally came to say goodbye to Mo Hua.

Clad in red, the enthusiastic and cheerful Elder Gu Hong, at this moment, held Mo Hua’s hand, her expression full of reluctance.

From the first meeting, she took an instant liking to Mo Hua, this adorable and polite child.

At that time, she had no idea that this little disciple who ate melons and chatted about "gossip" with her possessed such great abilities, such stunning talents, even enough to overshadow the geniuses of the Qian Learning State Boundary, shining brightly at the Qianxue Debate, and twice winning the title of Formation Leader.

Even thinking about it now still feels somewhat unreal.

Elder Gu Hong deeply scrutinized Mo Hua.

Now, this child Mo Hua, is gradually growing up into a graceful young man, gentle as jade, with clear brows and eyes, a celestial-like beauty.

This Elder, who is habitually fond of matchmaking, finds herself liking him more and more.

"Such a wonderful child, I wonder which family’s young lady will be fortunate enough in the future..."

Elder Gu Hong silently thought.

After exchanging pleasantries, it was time to part.

Mo Hua stood at the entrance, bowing to the elders and Aunt Wan, "During my time cultivating in Qianxue, I am most grateful for all the guidance from the elders, Mo Hua cannot thank you enough."

The always stern Gu Shouyan also smiled at these words, "Young friend Mo, your words are too kind."

With a face full of concern, Wenren Wan looked at Mo Hua, "Make sure to take care of yourself."

Elder Gu Hong patted Mo Hua’s palm sincerely, "Out there, always protect yourself."

Yu Er was also full of reluctance, "Brother Mo, take care."

Mo Hua smiled and nodded, gently stroking Yu Er’s head, then saluted everyone before turning to board the carriage and set off on the road back to Taixu Gate.

With this farewell, the years become separated, and reunion is uncertain.

...

Upon returning to Taixu Gate, within two days, the last major matter was settled.

The Sword Discussion Conference, including the entire Dao Discussion Conference’s ranking, finally came to a conclusion.

Taixu Gate won first place in the Sword Discussion, first place in the Formation Competition, and unsurprisingly, first place in Qianxue’s Dao Discussion.

In other words, Taixu Gate is now truly the First Major School of Qianxue.

And the reformation of the sects must be deliberated based on the Dao Discussion rankings.

Taixu Gate thus became the head of Qianxue’s "Four Great Sects."

This was a situation that everyone had anticipated, but the final outcome took a surprising turn.

After deliberation by Dao Court Tianquan Pavillion, for some unknown reason, Taixu Gate was not categorized as one of the "Four Great Sects," but was instead listed separately, allowing "Taixu Gate" to sit alongside the Four Great Sects.

Taixu Gate, one sect and three mountains.

Therefore, the ultimate sect structure of Qian Learning State Boundary became:

Three mountains, four great sects, eight major gates, twelve streams, followed by Qianxue Hundred Gates, and thousands of small sects.

Three Mountains, Four Sects, Eight Gates, Twelve Streams.

Thus became the pinnacle "Sect Academy" of the Qian Learning State Boundary.

Nominally, Taixu Gate is equal to the Four Great Sects, without distinction of superiority, but because "Three Mountains" precedes, it subtly overshadowed the Four Great Sects.

The decision from the Heavenly Right Pavilion shook the state boundary of Qian Learning.

Almost everyone was surprised by how the situation developed.

"Three Mountains, Four Sects, Eight Gates, Three Mountains overshadowing Four Sects..."

"Isn’t this elevating Taixu Gate too much?"

"Does Taixu Gate have connections in the Heavenly Right Pavilion? Is the Pavilion Elder of the Heavenly Right Pavilion endorsing Taixu Gate?"

"Too outrageous..."

"If positioned alongside the Four Great Sects, who gets first might still be contested, now with a direct title of ’Three Mountains,’ it’s clear who stands higher."

"Now Taixu Gate probably really sits on the throne of the First Major Sect of Qianxue."

"Is this first place so easy to hold? In my view, such a suddenly prominent sect, ultimately has unstable foundations, doesn’t truly match its name; I certainly wouldn’t send my child to Taixu Gate for cultivation."

"I advise everyone to not send their outstanding family disciples to Taixu Gate, lest Taixu Gate lead the children astray..."

"Exactly, indeed..."

"Only a fool would send their disciple to Taixu Gate."

But privately, most cultivators had only one approach:

Send them!

Send them to Taixu Gate.

All those words are nonsense. Sect rankings are concrete, claiming a mismatch between name and reality is even more absurd; without some capability, how could Taixu Gate achieve these rankings?

Three Mountains, Four Sects.

Not sending disciples to Three Mountains, should one step back and send them to Four Great Sects?

Three Mountains has only one name, called Taixu Gate.

Four Great Sects have four.

Which name sounds louder, is there any need to ask?

No matter what they claim verbally, most cultivators act with honesty.

Some even deliberately stir trouble, spread rumors to defame Taixu Gate, claiming everyone should definitely not apply to Taixu Gate, so their own children and family disciples have more opportunities to join Taixu Gate.

Taixu Gate for a time became the most controversial, yet most sought after Great Sect in the Qianxue State Boundary.

And everyone in Taixu Gate, was very jubilant.

One Sect, Three Mountains, Four Great Sects, Eight Gates!

One day, not only did they find themselves among the top sects of Qianxue State Boundary, but even press one head over the Four Great Sects.

Although this decision from the Heavenly Right Pavilion seems peculiar, certainly encompassing some hidden calculations.

Yet however it developed, to Taixu Gate, it is a major event that brings honor to the family and sect, a glorifying moment.

From this point, they are the nominal First Sect of Qianxue!

Not only the Heaven Void Ancestors sigh inwardly, feeling deeply moved.
