Chapter 710 (1/2)
Chapter 710: 710
“Monastery head Shui, your disciples really are courteous . You really brought them up well . ” Zhou Tianyi turned to look at Shui Wuhen .
With the formation here, everything happening within the Xuantian Sea was being broadcast in front of them . They could clearly see and hear everything . This way they could get a clear read of every disciple’s true potential .
So Tang Wan-er’s words were heard by all of them, and many of them felt displeased . Most of these people were extremely old .
But most of them didn’t say anything . When it came to being old, the four at the front took the prize . Even the vice sect master only appeared to be in his fifties or sixties .
In truth, they could sacrifice some of their longevity to make themselves appear more youthful . But none of them were willing . As for the vice sect master, he could make himself appear younger just by circulating his energy . But he didn’t do so because then it would make him seem like he had no experience, as if he was just a junior .
The vice sect master was a Foundation Forging expert . He made it so he appeared to be in his fifties . If it weren’t for his white hair, others might even think he was only in his forties .
So although they were all old, they hadn’t reached the level of being fossils . The only ones that could receive that resounding t.i.tle were the four family heads . Only they had those qualifications .
That was why it was the four family heads that were offended . Shui Yuncong couldn’t say anything since this disciple was technically on his side, while the w.a.n.g and Qu family heads didn’t say anything, as quibbling with a junior was a loss of status . However, Zhou Tianyi wouldn’t give up any chance to target the Shui family, so he immediately made it difficult on them, saying that Long Chen had no upbringing, which insinuated the Shui family hadn’t raised him properly .
Shui Yuncong was caught in a difficult position . Although he was dissatisfied with Shui Wuhen, this wasn’t targeting her, but the entire Shui family .
He decided to open his mouth and say, “An old person should act like a senior . If a senior quibbled with a child over a slip of the tongue, it would be unworthy of their age . ”
His words were even more vicious, directly saying that Zhou Tianyi was acting like a child . Zhou Tianyi’s expression sank . This slap had been a bit too much, and he was clearly just twisting words .
Suddenly, the vice sect master interrupted, “Everyone here is old . Don’t argue about such senseless questions . The world is constantly changing and the era is constantly advancing . People grow old; this is the law of all things . The cycle of the Heavenly Daos is something no one can resist .
“This world will always be the world of the young . Don’t use our standards for ourselves to judge the world of youngsters .
“The only thing we have to give to our disciples is an environment, to make it as convenient for them as possible . As for how they choose to grow, we don’t need to interfere .
“According to my experience, if we try to raise them into our ideal disciples, then their accomplishments will never surpa.s.s ours . A Blood Condensation master will only be able to raise a Blood Condensation disciple . It will be impossible to raise a King .
“So giving youngsters some s.p.a.ce and giving them room to make their own decisions is the only way for them to grow to their peak .
“The nonsense your four families do when you’re bored is something I can’t be bothered to deal with . But don’t let that nonsense affect our Xuantian Dao Sect’s development; otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless . I can always report to the head sect that certain families should be abolished!
“We’ve all coexisted for so many years . I don’t want us to reach a point of either you die or I die . You can fight amongst yourselves, but don’t go too far!”
Everyone’s hearts shook . The vice sect master rarely spoke, but now he had suddenly said so much . Furthermore, it was such a severe warning . That was very rare .
“We understand!” The four family heads hastily bowed .
The vice sect master nodded . “This time, our branch sect has given rise to four heavenly geniuses, and even an unexpected fellow like Long Chen has joined in . This is our branch sect’s most flouris.h.i.+ng period in the last few millennia .
“Perhaps our branch sect will finally be able to s.h.i.+ne during the Immemorial Pathway, increasing the prestige of our Xuantian Dao Sect .
“Even the sect master views the Immemorial Pathway as extremely important . So this is me warning you not to go overboard .
“It would be best for us not to stick our hands in a struggle between children . If you really feel like you can’t hold back, bind your hand to your leg, or don’t blame me for the consequences . ”
“The sect master?!”
Everyone let out a startled cry . The sect master had always been a mysterious existence . Even the four family heads had never seen this sect master .
It was unexpected that the sect master would be paying attention to the trial this time . They knew the vice sect master wasn’t trying to scare them; the sect master had to have intentionally told him to say this . If someone dared to cause trouble now, they really would be asking to die .
“There’s no need to encourage the struggle between the youngsters, but there’s also no need to intentionally resolve it . Each person has their own fate, so let them do as they please,” said the vice sect master .
“Understood!” Everyone hastily responded . They all understood that for him to give such a solemn warning, this matter was probably bigger than they had imagined . But why? Was the sect master personally watching?
During this exchange of words, Long Chen had been leading everyone from the thirty-sixth supermonastery into the Xuantian Sea .
