Chapter 52: Immortals Teaching Is Only As Good As This (2) (1/2)
First Elder’s words this time were sonorously powerful and imposingly compelling. It was no longer a question. When he spoke these words, there was no other road; the other elders had to agree.
The aura of First Elder was aggressively frightening, and, in the blink of an eye, it shook the hearts of the other elders. Even Cao Xiong’s expression couldn’t help but greatly change!
The support of the four elders, for the first elder, had been shaken in these last two or three years; however, today, when the first elder suddenly exerted his imposing aura, it made the other elder’s hearts tremor and linger in the middle. It was as if their old brother from that year was now present again. That year, the first elder was the one who made all the big decisions for the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. and, that year, the first elder’s imposing aura was just like this.
Cao Xiong’s expression soured; during these recent years, his ambition for the sect master’s seat had not lessened. However, the first elder was downhearted and decadent, this made Cao Xiong not put him in his eyes. After all, he was not necessarily worse than the first elder! If they were to complete for the sect master’s seat, again, the first elder was not his opponent. [1]
Now, the first elder suddenly, and abruptly, started a storm, and this made Cao Xiong once again realize that the first elder was still the pillar of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect!
“If older brother thinks that Li Qiye is worth grooming, then I support older brother’s decision.” In the end, Elder Sun, master of Protector Mo, was the first to express his opinion.
The third elder was silent for a moment, and he then finally expressed his view as well: “If older brother truly wants to groom Li Qiye, the let it be so. Hopefully he won’t betray your heart’s blood.” [2]
These words were, without a doubt, an agreement to the first elder.
The fifth elder was contemplating as well, and he then said: “This time, I agree with older brother’s decision.”
Suddenly, all four elders agreed to accept this decision. This decision was made, not because of Li Qiye’s merits, but because of the first elder. The four elders faintly felt that the first elder’s ambition had not decayed. They hoped that the first elder could, once again, shoulder the burdens of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect.
Earlier, Cao Xiong had many little calculations in his mind, thinking about how to not let Li Qiye obtain the King Physique paste; however, the sudden reversal rendered all of Cao Xiong’s schemes unusable. It made Cao Xiong startled, and he stood in the same spot, unable to accept the reality.
At the Cleansing Jade Peak, Li Qiye had beaten the three hundred disciples for more than ten days, and he then molded the disciples, regardless of their cultivations and flawed techniques.
To this day, the three hundred disciples at the Cleansing Jade Peak were convinced by Li Qiye in both their words and their minds. Even the arrogant Luo Fenghua, towards Li Qiye, was convinced with both his words and his mind. [3]
Xu Pei became the oldest sister of the three hundred disciples. Xu Pei’s age was higher than Li Qiye by not just a little; however, she was timid and lacked her own opinions. Under the devil-like training in these last ten days, Li Qiye was trying to polish Xu Pei; not only in her incompleted techniques, but also her Dao willpower in order to increase her confidence.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had quickly pa.s.sed. Today, Li Qiye climbed to his high stand. In reality, Li Qiye didn’t come alone. Serving by Li Qiye was no longer Nan Huairen, but Li Shuangyan.
The truth was, this was not Li Shuangyan’s first time accompanying Li Qiye to the Cleansing Jade Peak. The first time she had visited, there was a large wave within the three hundred disciples. After all, to these disciples who were not officially in the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, a heavenly G.o.ddess like Li Shuangyan was an existence in the legends.
The descendant of the Nine Saint Demon Gate, princess of the Old Ox country, the heaven’s prideful daughter, and a cultivation genius. Any of these t.i.tles was enough to startle these disciples. To some of the disciples, Li Shuangyan was unreachable.
However, under Li Qiye’s instruction, Li Shuangyan recently had been showing up with Li Qiye to the Cleansing Jade Peak more often, making the three hundred disciples slowly accept Li Shuangyan’s existence.
Li Shuangyan was perplexed regarding Li Qiye’s ruthless Dao instructions; however, within a few days of witnessing Li Qiye pointing out their black hearts, revealing the incomplete and flawed techniques of the disciples, and this caused Li Shuangyan’s heart to shake! [4]
She could tell that the Serpent Punis.h.i.+ng stick was a magical treasure. However, with just the Serpent Punis.h.i.+ng stick, it wasn’t enough for Li Qiye to correctly point out the flaws of many techniques. Without a doubt, Li Qiye grasped the profound truths behind these methods and techniques.
The Cleansing Jade Peak’s disciples weren’t practicing peerless merit laws, but, in order to grasp the profound truths of dozens of merit laws and understand the mysterious arts, was this such an easy thing?
Moreover, many of these foundational merit laws came from the hands of Immortal Emperor Min Ren. The simpler the merit law, the more majestic the aura; to truly grasp the profound truths was not an easy thing.
Without a doubt, currently, Li Qiye had never practiced these merit laws, but he had grasped the profound truths of these techniques! Such a phenomenon was shown by a thirteen year old boy with a Mortal Physique, Mortal Life Wheel, and Mortal Fate Palace; this was truly inconceivable!
Li Qiye, on his high platform, looked at his fellow disciples, and he started to speak: “Today’s lesson is a lecture on the foundational mysteriousness of the Jade Spiral Merit Law. This is one of the most basic merit laws in the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, and one third of all disciples practice this merit law. If a disciple does not practice this merit law, they could choose to not listen.”
Currently, Xu Pei was the leader of the three hundred disciples. She suddenly heard Li Qiye’s announcement, and she couldn’t help but exclaim: “Older brother, we… Our lesson today isn’t getting hit?”
Li Qiye beamingly smiled at Xu Pei, and he said: “What, our younger sister is addicted to being beaten? One day without a beating, and your whole body wouldn’t be comfortable?”
“N-no, not at all…” Li Qiye’s words immediately made Xu Pei blush; her face reddened, and she immediately shook her head to deny.
