Currently, the Sun was hanging high in the sky, shedding down an infinite amount of light that engulfed the entire Wan Jian House.
However, at this moment, the radiance of the Eternal Sun could not compare to the person on the stage, the handsome youth with unparalleled grace.
His brows were sharp like swords, his eyes were bright like stars, and his body was tall and straight as he stood on top of the battle ring. Like a real immortal, he was out of this world, out of this world, and out of this world.
In particular, the Daoist Rhyme that was naturally emitted was in harmony with the Great Dao of the world, as if it had become a part of the world. However, if one looked closely, they would realize that he seemed to be independent of Heaven and Earth, out of the three realms and out of the five elements.
"A Core Elder …"
Feeling everyone's respectful and admiring gaze, the corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. He did not reject this title. Whether it was the honorable title of a Core Elder, the right to enter the Pavilion of Scriptures, or the right to read the 12 peaks' inheritances, they were all beneficial to him.
The former meant he would be respected and enter the upper echelons of the Wan Jian House. Not only would he have more authority, but he would also be able to enjoy more resources. The latter, on the other hand, would allow him to practice more techniques and enrich his cultivation experience, allowing him to walk further on the path of cultivation.
Though Ling Xian didn't care much for these things, these two were things he couldn't live without. Therefore, he did not reject and accepted all of this.
With his abilities, he deserved to accept all of this. With his future, it was no wonder the Wan Jian House thought so highly of him.
"How do you feel? Are you satisfied?" Dao Wu Ji grinned. Looking at the handsome young man before him, his eyes were full of admiration.
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up and he paid his respect, "Of course I am satisfied. Thank you, Supreme Headmaster."
"There is no need to thank me. With your abilities, this is what you deserve." Dao Wu Ji brandished his hand and teased, "With great power comes great responsibility. I will not let you enjoy this privilege without putting in any effort."
"Of course. If there is anything you need, just tell me."
Ling Xian softly smiled, not surprised at all. The reason why he chose to join the Wan Jian House after he returned was because of the promise he made back then, and also because the Wan Jian House has treated him well.
Therefore, even without the title of a Core Elder, if the Wan Jian House needs something, he wouldn't reject it. With all these, he would not decline the offer.
"I do have something I need you to do. However, now is not the time to talk about it." Dao Wu Ji mysteriously smiled.
Ling Xian frowned slightly. But in the next second, he relaxed and smiled, "Then when the time comes, you can send someone to find me."
"You don't have to worry about that. I've never been polite." Dao Wu Ji teasingly smiled. He did not have any of the dignity and arrogance that a Headmaster should have. He was very approachable.
This Sect Leader was indeed an interesting person.
Ling Xian snickered to himself. His impression of Dao Wu Ji improved, and his sense of belonging to the Wan Jian House increased as well.
Just then, the Slay Sword Peak leader suddenly opened his mouth and invited again, "Ling Xian, come to the Slay Sword Peak to be a Core Elder."
Upon hearing this, the Peak Leaders were startled. However, they quickly reacted to the situation. Indeed, the disciples were no longer fighting for it, but who said that the elders could not fight for it?
Wouldn't he be able to increase his strength and bring glory?
After figuring this out, the 10 peak leaders were all excited and invited Ling Xian to join them.
"Not again …" Ling Xian shook his head with a bitter smile. He shifted his gaze towards Dao Wu Ji again, signaling him to stop this.
This Headmaster gave Ling Xian some face. After receiving Ling Xian's signal, he softly coughed, "Ehem, ehem, quiet down. Since Ling Xian is already a Core Elder, then he shouldn't be joining any peak."
"Why should I?"
The Slay Sword Peak leader raised an eyebrow, appearing very handsome.
"That's right. There is no rule in the Wan Jian House that a Core Elder cannot join a peak." The Seek Sword Peak leader waved his fan around like a gentleman, elegant, and warm like jade.
"There is no rule like that. But, there is no rule that a Core Elder must join a peak."
Dao Wu Ji teasingly smiled, "After all, I am the Headmaster. What I say goes. Therefore, I announce … from today onwards, Ling Xian will be a Core Elder. He will be independent from the 12 peaks and will be given a spiritual peak."
"You!"
The Slay Sword Peak leader glared at him coldly. Her hand suddenly pressed onto the heavenly sword on her back, as if she was about to pull out her sword.
At this, the Peak Leaders smiled helplessly. Dao Wu Ji smiled helplessly as well.
Even Ling Xian revealed a helpless expression. After what happened before, he finally understood. This Slay Sword Peak leader was a cold and overbearing woman. Even against the Supreme Headmaster, she dared to pull out her sword.
He didn't want to provoke someone who didn't even care about the House the moment he entered the Mountain. Therefore, he didn't reject her outright and instead asked Dao Wu Ji to step in.
It seemed like he made the right decision.
"Alright, junior sister, Ling Xian just entered the House. You should at least save me some face." Dao Wu Ji shook his head helplessly. Against this junior sister who was getting colder and colder, there was nothing he could do.
"Hmmph, if I save you face, who is going to save me face?"
Hissing, the beautiful woman glared at Ling Xian and disappeared from the battle ring in a flash.
At this, the 10 peak leaders all looked at Ling Xian in unison. There was a trace of pity in their eyes.
Dao Wu Ji teased, "Aye, Ling Xian, you better be careful. My junior sister is trying to remember you."
"I don't think so …" Ling Xian bitterly smiled, not thinking much of it.
"Haha, you will understand when the time comes." Dao Wu Ji laughed out loud, "Alright, it's about time. You can pick any spiritual peak you want. I will not accompany you."
"Headmaster, please go ahead." Ling Xian paid his respect.
"Alright, then I will leave first." Dao Wu Ji nodded. Then, his silhouette began to fade and disappear.
Seeing this, the remaining 10 peak leaders all opened their mouths and invited Ling Xian to be a guest at their peak when he's free.
Then, at Ling Xian's signal, they all flew towards their own peaks. In the blink of an eye, there was no one left.
No, there was one more person.
The one who was arrogant at first, but after Ling Xian's appearance, turned into a clown that served as a hero.
At this moment, Lin Tian's face was still pale and he was still soulless, as if he had lost his soul. To him, it was true. His abilities that he was proud of were not worth mentioning in front of Ling Xian.
His identity as the second descendant of the Xiu Luo House, before Ling Xian, a new Core Elder, was insignificant.
This hit him hard both physically and mentally. His arrogance and confidence were all crushed by Ling Xian. How could he not be soulless?
However, no one in the crowd saw his sorry state.
Because all of their gazes were focused on Ling Xian and none of them noticed how Lin Tian looked.
Ling Xian was the same. To him, Lin Tian was merely an insignificant passerby who could not attract his attention.
Therefore, he merely glanced at this person before he slowly walked down the stage and flew towards the towering mountain that pierced through the clouds.
Leaving behind gazes of admiration and respect, as well as a person who was full of hatred towards him.
A pair of eyes full of hatred.
