Chapter 1336 Ignored
Glancing at the furious Yu Xiantong, Hu Ruilong laughed and said, "The cultivation world is a world where the strong are respected. Now that our Jumen Peak is weak, it is only normal for our resources to be taken away. Back in the day, before Lei Zu ascended, our Jumen Peak was the sect leader peak. Who dared to covet our resources? We would take them from them."
Xu Changshou's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he asked curiously, "Was our Giant Gate Peak also the Sect Master Peak before? Wasn't the Sect Master Peak always the Greedy Wolf Peak?"
"Hahaha!"
Hu Ruilong smiled: "The Sect Master Peak never belongs to any one mountain, and Bai Wenlong is not a fixed Sect Master. If one day you have the strength to defeat Bai Wenlong, the Sect Master will be yours, and Jumen Peak will be the Sect Master Peak."
"Ok!"
Xu Changshou nodded slightly, and after a moment's thought, he understood what was going on.
In the past, when we were in lower-level sects, the sect leaders were appointed by the higher-level sects.
As for the Donghua Immortal Sect and the Eternal Immortal Sect, there is no stronger being above them, so there is no such thing as appointing a sect leader; whoever is the strongest becomes the sect leader.
In lower-level sects, having a strong background is more important than having strong strength. But in the Donghua Immortal Sect, strength is the only true measure of power.
Looking at Xu Changshou again, Hu Ruilong smiled and said, "If you think you are too strong, you can withdraw from the competition. As for Xu Xiangzu's position, I will think of another way. It's a pity that Xu Xiangzu can't join the patrol group."
"No!"
Xu Changshou shook his head, a determined glint in his eyes, and said, "I'm going to give it a shot."
Hu Ruilong nodded slightly: "If you want to have some fun, that's fine too. It's just a friendly spar within the sect, and there's no danger to your life."
"Alright, you guys calm down. We'll have guests arriving soon, so get ready to greet them."
"Yes!"
Before long, people began to slowly enter Hu Ruilong's temple.
Xu Changshou and the others were all members of the Seventh Patrol Group. Since it was inconvenient for Hu Ruilong to greet the guests, Xu Changshou and the others represented Hu Ruilong and greeted the guests at the door.
Most of the people who come here are Mahayana cultivators from Jumen Peak, but occasionally powerful individuals from other peaks also arrive.
"Greetings, Venerable Longevity."
"Greetings, Junior Brother Changshou."
"Brother Changshou, are you well?"
By this time, Xu Changshou had already gained some fame on Jumen Peak, and people who came greeted him one after another.
Xu Changshou responded with a broad smile to each question.
"Junior Brother Xu, long time no see!"
"Hello, Junior Brother Xu!"
"Senior Brother Xu!"
At this moment, a group of familiar faces suddenly arrived: Venerable Honglian, Venerable Hongwu, Venerable Guye, Lin Xueyi, and Yang Yanjing.
Xu Changshou looked at them but didn't see Xu Ye, so he asked, "Why didn't Junior Brother Xu Ye come?"
Lin Xueyi smiled and said, "Senior Brother Xu Ye is in seclusion and didn't come."
"Ok!"
At this time, Lin Xueyi's cultivation level was at the mid-stage of Mahayana. The fact that he addressed Xu Ye as Senior Brother indicated that Xu Ye had already broken through to the late-stage of Mahayana.
Since breaking through to the Mahayana realm, Xu Changshou has rarely seen Xu Ye.
He knew that Xu Ye was aware of the crisis and was therefore cultivating desperately. For someone with a fivefold body, breaking through to the Tribulation Transcending Realm was a hurdle.
Some people can break through, while others cannot.
If Xu Ye had remained as lazy as before, he would never have had the chance to break through to the Tribulation Transcending Realm. Therefore, Xu Ye became diligent.
Venerable Red Lotus glanced at Xu Changshou and smiled, "Junior Brother Xu, I heard you'll also be competing for the position of leader of the Seventh Patrol Group. How about it, are you confident?"
"Uh...not really!" Xu Changshou scratched his head and said.
Venerable Hongwu said solemnly, “Junior Brother Xu, Venerable Qianhua and Venerable Baishao may not be your match, but against Venerable Getian, your chances of winning are slim.”
Xu Xiangzu was shocked upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that Venerable Hongwu would have such a high opinion of his great-grandfather. Venerable Qianhua was ranked sixty-fourth on the Mahayana Golden List. How could they be no match for his great-grandfather?
Venerable Honglian said solemnly, "Yes, Junior Brother Hong is right. Everyone who can rank in the top fifty of the Mahayana Golden List is a monster."
Venerable Guye smiled and said, "Junior Brother Xu is still young. He is only in the late stage of Mahayana. If he breaks through to the Great Perfection of Mahayana, I believe he will definitely succeed!"
Lin Xueyi stepped forward and said, "Yes, back then, Venerable Longevity's cultivation was not as good as mine and Junior Brother Yang's. Now he has the opportunity to compete with the top 100 of the Mahayana Golden List. In my opinion, it is incredible."
Yang Yan stepped forward, patted Xu Changshou on the shoulder, and encouraged him, "Senior Brother Xu, whether you win or not, you're doing a great job."
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Fellow Daoists, please come in!"
"Come on, let's go inside and talk."
As soon as they entered the dojo, Venerable Leng Feng arrived with his men. Xu Changshou glanced at them and saw Venerable Gu Tai, Venerable Yue Xian, Venerable Ke Xian, Venerable Tian Yi, Venerable Li He, and Venerable Qing Rou following behind him.
"Welcome, fellow Daoists."
"Ok!"
Venerable Leng Feng gave Xu Changshou a meaningful look before entering the temple.
Hu Kexian, Jiang Tianyi, Lu Lihe, Su Qingrou, and the others did not go in.
Xu Changshou glanced at their cultivation levels; Hu Kexian and the other three had all broken through to the late stage of the Mahayana realm.
Hu Kexian blinked, looked at Xu Changshou, and smiled, "Senior Brother Xu, you must defeat Venerable Bai Shao and bring honor to our Jumen Peak."
Jiang Tian smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether we can win or not. Senior Brother Xu, you are the strongest Mahayana cultivator among our younger generation."
Lu Lihe said admiringly, "I admire no one but Senior Brother Xu."
Su Qingrou clasped her hands and said, "Senior Brother Xu, if you can defeat Venerable Bai Shao, we will honor you as our venerable one."
"Thank you all for your kind words. I will do my best! Please proceed!"
Xu Changshou smiled and invited the group into the temple.
"Grandpa, they're here! It's them!"
Upon hearing Xu Xiangzu's words, Xu Changshou hurriedly looked up and saw more than a dozen people flying towards them from the distant void.
There were three people leading the group: a tall young man, a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar, and a beautiful woman in her thirties.
Xu Xiangzu whispered in Xu Changshou's ear, "Grandpa Ancestor, that young man is Venerable Ge Tian, the middle-aged man is Venerable Qian Hua, and that woman is Venerable Bai Shao."
Soon, a group of more than ten people arrived at the entrance of the dojo.
Xu Changshou stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Welcome, fellow Daoists!"
Someone whispered in their ears, "This is the Venerable Longevity."
"Ok!"
The three nodded slightly, then passed by Xu Changshou and entered the training ground.
Of course they knew that Xu Changshou was one of their competitors, but none of them took him seriously.
More and more people arrived, and an hour later, the area around the Enlightenment Platform was filled with people.
Several hundred cultivators at the Mahayana realm actually came.
Seeing that most of the people had arrived, Xu Changshou also entered the Daoist temple and waited quietly in a corner of the Enlightenment Platform.
Suddenly, the Enlightenment Platform flashed with light, and four figures descended directly onto it.
These four people were Zhu Miaoshan, Hu Ruilong, Gao Jianmin, and Situ Xianchang.
