After leaving behind a paragraph of emotion about the Emperor, Tetragon returned to the group of immortal tombs alone.
Standing on the clouds, Wang Lu recalled the words she said before she left.
Tetragon … was really an unexpected person.
Wang Lu thought, if the person who Resuscitation was not Bai Ze and the others, but Tetragon, would there be this farce of Grand Competition?
Most likely not. If Tetragon was there, there would never be a gambling fight between Wang Wu and Bai Ze. Tetragon would directly stand up and challenge the entire Wanxian League of Nine Regions, carrying the heavy burden with his own strength …
Then, there would be no bloody killing at the beginning of the Grand Competition, and there would be no tit-for-tat counterattack from Wang Lu. And the situation would be much better than it was now.
However, if there was no Grand Competition, perhaps he would not have today's status … Before the Grand Competition, Wang Lu could be regarded as a rising star among the senior cultivators. But now, he was on par with many high-level Elders. If there was anyone in Nine Regions who should thank the Grand Competition, Wang Lu should be the first.
"So … if the Grand Competition is over, I will be the target of public criticism."
Wang Lu took advantage of the Grand Competition and now gained both fame and fortune. However, he cooperated with Dixian to end the Grand Competition, causing countless people's energy and resources to be wasted, and the huge layout of Mysterious Sky Mansion was in vain … No one knew how many people would be offended by this.
Even if Wang Lu could give a reasonable explanation, and Senior Gem Emperor was willing to abandon the pride of the Emperor to cooperate with him, this play could deceive the ignorant public, but how could it deceive the people with intentions and the parties involved? The loss of Mysterious Sky Mansion was real. Even if they accepted Wang Lu's explanation, someone had to be responsible for all this.
However, in Wang Lu's view, these problems were not actually problems. Because at worst, he could just take the blame and resign. He became powerful because of the Grand Competition, but power was never his goal. As a cultivator, the Immortal Dao was the eternal theme. Only those who found it difficult to make any progress in their cultivation, or those whose minds were not clear, would be obsessed with power in the world of cultivation. Compared to the exhausting position of chief planner, he was more interested in exploring the world after the King Pill.
Although it had not been a long time since he reached the peak of King Pill, Wang Lu had been preparing for the Yuanying Stage for a long time … If it were not for the Grand Competition, he would have been on the way to breakthrough.
"… In any case, I have to report today's matter to Hetu first. After all, he is the number one person in Nine Regions, so there is no reason for him to stay out of it."
— —
"So that's how it is … In that case, although Tetragon is tyrannical and wanton, he is still a qualified emperor."
In the tower of Shengjing Sect in the City of Immortals, Hetu Daoren quietly listened to Wang Lu's report and sighed with emotion.
"Relatively speaking, she is easier to communicate with than the previous leaders of Dixian. Unfortunately … "
After sighing with emotion, Hetu said, "I have already discussed with many Elders about changing the Grand Competition. Generally speaking, it is feasible. You don't have to be under too much pressure. "
Hetu Daoren's words could be regarded as setting the tone for this matter. Wang Lu deeply admired this. He and Senior Gem Emperor had only gone out for a day. In just one day, Daoist He Tu was able to basically set the tone of this matter. He must have put in a lot of effort behind the scenes, and even gave up great benefits. He said that Wang Lu did not have to be under too much pressure. Obviously, he had taken the pressure on himself.
In theory, Hetu Daoren did not have to do so much. Because the Grand Competition was proposed and designed by Wang Lu, and the specific implementation was mostly handled by this chief planner. Later, when things changed, it was also Wang Lu's first-hand contact … From the beginning to the end, Hetu Daoren had always been in the second line and delegated power. Therefore, he did have a reason to stay out of it.
However, Hetu Daoren did not stay out of it.
He was the number one person in the Wanxian League, enjoying the supreme glory of Nine Regions, so naturally, he also had to bear the corresponding responsibility. Wang Lu's power was delegated by him, so he was duty-bound to meet problems. Hetu Daoren was not an emperor, but he also had the mind and spirit of an emperor.
Wang Lu was deeply impressed by this. Nowadays, there were many people in leadership positions in the Wanxian League, but there were very few who really had the courage to lead. To put it nicely, everyone pursued the progress of the immortal path, so they were somewhat unconcerned about the so-called authority of leadership. To put it bluntly, it was purely selfish and lacking in breadth of mind.
However, just as Wang Lu's favorable impression of He Tu increased, Hetu Daoren coughed.
"I have thought about the marriage issue for a long time …" Hetu Daoren sternly said, "This is indeed not feasible. I cultivate the Virgin Method, which not only has a high requirement for the physical body and primordial yang, but also for the karma connection. If I marry someone, even if the physical body is not touched, and the breath is not intertwined, once the marriage is formed, the karma will be entangled, and the Virgin Method will no longer be free. I have tried several ideas, but none of them can solve this problem. And the Virgin Method is the foundation of many of my methods, so it cannot be easily shaken. After thinking about it, I can't promise you this. I'm afraid you need to find another candidate. "
Qiong Hua added, "I think Wang Lu, you're not bad."
Wang Lu immediately retorted, "I think you're not bad either. Tetragon only said to marry, but he didn't say that it's a male and female. You have always been famous for your talent and appearance, known as the number one fairy in Nine Regions. You and Tetragon are simply a match made in heaven. What's more, she was originally going to marry Supreme He Tu. Since Supreme has difficulties, then you, as his disciple, are duty-bound to stand up for him. It's only right for a daughter to repay a father's debt. "
Qiong Hua said, "I have no objection, but I'm afraid Tetragon will not agree. She is the Emperor, and if one doesn't have a certain status, he is not qualified to marry her. "
Wang Lu said, "Isn't that simple? Why don't you just ask your master to arrange some important position for you? For example, the position of chief planner of the Grand Competition Organizing Committee is very good. The position of Elder with real power in the Wanxian League can barely match it. "
"Deceiving oneself will only have the opposite effect on Tetragon."
Wang Lu thought that might not be the case. Based on Tetragon's identity as a veteran lover of Virgin Skill, if you have a big tool and live well, you can let her experience a different kind of fun, maybe even if you deceive yourself, she would still accept it … However, thinking about it in this way, Wang Lu instantly thought of a more suitable candidate than Qiong Hua and He Tu.
No, it should be said that from this perspective, neither He Tu nor Qiong Hua was a good choice. One was a master of Virgin Skill, and the other was a disciple of a master of Virgin Skill. The two of them were young and immature, which would most likely be difficult to satisfy Tetragon.
On Spirit Sword Mountain, there was a Yuanying Stage Elder with unique conditions and talent, who could be called invincible in Nine Regions — Ao Guanhai!
With Elder Guanhai, perhaps no local in Nine Regions would dare to compete with him for the title of having a big tool and live well … If he didn't mind, he might as well sell him to Tetragon. The picture of a budding girl with Elder Guanhai was simply too beautiful that it had to be seen.
—
However, the marriage with Tetragon had not been finalized.
Hetu Daoren could boldly help Wang Lu to change the Grand Competition, but he was not so bold as to put his lifelong happiness in the pit. He Tu was unwilling to sacrifice, and Wang Lu, of course, was also unwilling. Since these two people could not do it, the rest of the candidates were even more unreliable. Either they were already married, or their level was much lower than Tetragon's.
Wang Lu tried to push his sect's Elder Ao Guanhai out as a surprise attack. As a result, the dignified Seventh Elder of Peak Yuanying Stage was so scared that he directly went into seclusion in Clear Sky Peak. His degree of shyness was truly amazing.
In short, when all the candidates could not meet the requirements, the matter had to be put on the agenda as soon as possible. On the contrary, the end of the Grand Competition had to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
To Wang Lu's relief, in this matter, Hetu Daoren spared no effort to support him.
For this reason, Hetu Daoren personally came forward and held more than ten emergency meetings to meet and consult with the leaders of all parties.
The task was heavy and time was tight. How could it be easy to persuade tens of thousands of sects, large and small, in the Wanxian League, as well as rogue cultivators and even evil cultivators to accept this strategic change? During this period, a lot of expedient measures were used, compromises and concessions were everywhere. What's more, when they encountered stubborn people, Hetu Daoren was forced to use force to threaten them to solve the problem, which was obviously not the original intention of He Tu.
Of course, it was not that Hetu Daoren was a pacifist. On the contrary, Shengjing Sect's force was the number one in Nine Regions, so it was not an exaggeration to say that they were militaristic. However, Hetu Daoren always believed that the greatest role of force was deterrence, not threat. When it came to the threat level, it was inferior. Unfortunately, the situation forced him to do so.
In short, the Wanxian League was in a state of chaos. The high-level Elders spent the next few days in chaos and impatience. During this period, Tetragon was very considerate to leave time for the Wanxian League. He did not urge them, nor did he hinder the inertia of the Grand Competition. In the past few days, the two sides had played more than ten matches, with both winning and losing. However, fewer and fewer people cared about the outcome.
The ending of the competition was highly confidential within the Wanxian League. Except for a few people at the highest level, most people only got the news that the format of the Grand Competition needed to be adjusted. However, there was never a lack of smart people in Nine Regions. From the wind blowing the grass, many people had already smelled the omen of a drastic change.
For example, the newly rising business stars in the City of Immortals quietly laid out their plans under the direction of people with intentions, preparing for the next harvest.
Another example was a bald cultivator who set Wang Lu as his goal and looked forward to showing off his skills in the Grand Competition. He began to feel restless and had a premonition that he had gradually lost all hope.
Then, a large number of King Pill and Yuanying Stage cultivators who were still in special training in Royal Soldier Sect intuitively felt that the hard work of most of them in the past six months would be in vain …
