Night fell.
The hustle and bustle of the day dissipated, and Longhu Mountain regained its tranquility. Although it had declined, it was still the ancestral court of Daoism.
True Yang Hall, inside the Sect Master's cave abode.
Chung Shen-soo sat cross-legged, a purple aura flashing in his eyes.
'The three sects of Daoism still need an Undead Immortal to hold the fort … Even Miaoji True Sect was not convinced by my ascension as a Dharmakaya, let alone outsiders.
'But after the Undead Immortal came, the messenger immediately changed his mind. This is not recognition of my position as sect master, but recognition of the Taishang Longhu Sect's position as one of the three sects of Daoism!'
If not for Chung Shen-soo's peak Dharmakaya, which was equivalent to half an Undead Immortal, Miaoji True Sect would have removed the greatly weakened Taishang Longhu Sect from its position as one of the three sects of Daoism.
The disciples and elders of the sect who understood this would only be more convinced by him.
After all, without Chung Shen-soo, the Taishang Longhu Sect would truly decline and fall from the sky all the way to the ground!
It would no longer have the prestige of a top sect like before!
In this way, Chung Shen-soo could be considered to have turned the tide. It was definitely a great contribution that saved the sect.
In this era, it was very easy to win people's favor.
Just tonight, he had already met a few waves of people. Other than Zhang Guique, there were others from the Zhang Family who had expressed their loyalty.
In addition, the Technique Imparting Sect and the Law Enforcement Sect had some mountain leaders that were close to him.
After all, this was a world where power belonged to oneself. Obeying and following the strong was an instinct.
"With this, I'm pretty much in control of the Taishang Longhu Sect … I just lack a spokesperson. Those mountain leaders definitely won't do … Then … should I take in a few disciples?"
In reality, Chung Shen-soo did not want to waste time staying at the Taishang Longhu Sect.
Although this was a huge temptation to many people, he did not care about the power of the sect master.
If he stayed at Chang Luo for a long time, the matters on Longhu Mountain would definitely be out of control.
It was not that he was a figurehead. After all, no one dared to openly rebel against him. But if he did not do anything for a long time, his power would definitely flow.
Once power flowed out, it was basically impossible to get it back.
However, Chung Shen-soo could still do it, because he could choose to kill all of them. It was just that this method would cause both sides to suffer.
It was best to take precautions and place a few of his own people in the sect in advance.
He didn't have any children, so he could only accept some disciples.
"Sect Master, the envoy of the imperial court requests an audience!"
Just then, a talisman flew in from outside, and Zhang Guique's voice could be heard from within.
Chung Shen-soo was silent for a moment, then said, "Let him in."
Not long after, a royal Primordial Core cultivator walked in and bowed. "Five-talisman Spirit Officer Shang Weizhi greets Dong Hua Dao Lord!"
Yes, this time, Chung Shen Soo succeeded as Mount Longhu's Sect Leader, and at the same time, he broke through to the next realm. Naturally, the Imperial Court also had something to say, which was to add two more words to his title.
Then, they formed a True Lord title that made Chung Shen-soo want to roll his eyes.
'Although they know that I'm overthinking, is the Imperial Court trying to remind me not to forget the bottom line of morality and not to break off the engagement just because I've become the Longhu Sect Leader?'
He thought to himself, then waved his hand. "Rise!"
Shang Weizhi didn't dare to be impolite, so he bowed again and stood up. His posture was very proper.
After all, the position of Mount Longhu's Sect Leader was worthy of such respect!
As one of the three sects of Daoism, he wasn't even a subject of the Imperial Court, but an ally!
Chung Shen Soo's current position as sect master was actually not much different from Emperor Shenwu's, or even higher.
It would be a lie to say that the Imperial Court, or the royal family, wasn't worried that Dong Hua Dao Lord would have a change of heart after his grand transformation.
Chung Shen Soo said directly, "Go and tell Emperor Shenwu that I'll be going to Chang Luo in a month … I can also choose the date of the wedding."
Shang Weizhi was overjoyed. "Since True Lord has such intentions, the Imperial Court will definitely do everything for you …"
Since Dong Hua Dao Lord was willing to be the Imperial Court's son-in-law, there was no need to say anything else.
After dismissing the envoy, Chung Shen Soo looked at the luminous pearls in the room and fell into deep thought.
…
The next day.
The news spread throughout Mount Longhu's Sect.
"Senior Brother Sima, have you heard?"
An inner disciple came to Sima Shu's cave abode with an indescribable expression.
"What happened?"
Sima Shu had just accepted an outsider as the sect master and was about to go into seclusion to calm himself down when he saw a close junior brother come to visit him. He couldn't help but feel strange.
"Sect Master is going to accept a disciple!"
The junior brother's eyes seemed to be shining. "The Star List Hall has already announced that in the future, the sect master's disciple can also enter the True Yang Hall to discuss matters!"
"The sect master wants to accept a disciple?"
Sima Shu's eyes lit up, but then he felt a little nervous, mainly because he couldn't bring himself to do it.
However, he also knew that once this condition was announced, Longhu's Sect would go crazy.
In the outside world, when a Dharmakaya said he wanted to accept a disciple, 90% of the cultivators in the world would be tempted.
"Are there any requirements?"
Sima Shu continued to ask.
"There are no requirements, even outer disciples can participate … It seems like the sect master wants to accept a very wide range of disciples."
The junior brother said excitedly, "Senior Brother, do you want to go? If so … I will fully support you to become the sect master's direct disciple! "
"Let me … think about it!"
Sima Shu's expression became extremely conflicted.
What he didn't know was that while he was conflicted, many disciples were already tempted and even started to take action.
Among them was Chen Wenji!
She didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she felt that with their previous friendship, she might be able to gain the sect master's favor.
It wasn't just her, even the real big shots of the Technique Imparting Sect and the Law Enforcement Sect, the Primordial Core and Primordial Soul adepts were tempted.
However, they also knew the situation and wouldn't let them embarrass themselves, but it was normal for them to recommend the best disciples of their clan.
The entire Longhu Mountain became treacherous because of this. Who knew how many undercurrents were brewing behind the scenes.
…
Chung Shen-soo naturally knew about these vague situations, but he couldn't be bothered to deal with them.
To him, who was determined to be a hands-off boss, it was better for his subordinates to divide up the mountain and fight amongst themselves than for them to be united and make him a mere figurehead.
Although there would definitely be some internal friction, he didn't come with the intention of developing the Taishang Longhu Sect.
Making full use of the Taishang Longhu Sect's resources to develop himself was the right way!
Therefore, during this period of time, he had been immersed in Book Mountain. He even used his status as the sect master to order the three main sects to open up their treasury and let him read all the true books. He had gained a lot.
