The leader of the Hidden Pavilion was highly respected. Though no one knew who he was, he had the right to dismiss the leader of the Hidden Pavilion. He was extremely powerful.
Furthermore, the members of the Hidden Pavilion were all extremely skilled and powerful. To be able to become their leader was a great fortune.
Therefore, Ling Xian was tempted.
"Alright."
Xiang Jiuchen nodded softly, "The other three elders and I will give you four tests. If you successfully pass them, you will be the leader of the Hidden Pavilion."
"Please summon the three Supreme Elders." Ling Xian grinned, confident and at ease.
"Alright."
Xiang Ninedust smiled calmly, then sent a message to the three grand elders. "You had best prepare yourself. These three grand elders won't want you to become the master of the Secret Pavilion. You're a stranger, after all."
"I understand."
Ling Xian nodded. He knew very well that the only reason he had the right to try was because of the rigid rules of the Pavilion.
No matter who it was, as long as they had the jade pendant, they would be the leader of the Hidden Pavilion.
This was an iron-clad rule that Ninedust and everyone else in the Pavilion of Three Lives could do nothing about. Or else why would Xiang Jiuchen give a stranger a chance?
But to Ling Xian, this was enough.
If he were to become the leader of the Hidden Pavilion right away, he would feel uneasy. Only by fighting for it with one's own abilities would it be the truest.
"Alright, then let us wait patiently. The three elders will arrive soon." Xiang Jiuchen closed his eyes and no longer spoke.
He didn't want Ling Xian to become the leader of the Hidden Pavilion. After all, he didn't know Ling Xian at all. How could he let Ling Xian control the most important Hidden Pavilion?
However, Recluse Three Lives had a rule that Xiang Jiuchen couldn't disobey. He could only test Ling Xian to see if he had the ability to become the leader of the Hidden Pavilion.
"Leader of the Hidden Pavilion. Not a bad identity. I like it." Ling Xian smiled to himself. He sipped on his tea and waited patiently.
After a while, the space suddenly trembled. Then, three silhouettes appeared. They sat in the air in a lotus position and emitted shocking Qi.
HOMMMM!
Like a supreme being descending, or a celestial immortal descending to the mortal world, three figures proudly appeared, shaking the entire hall.
All of them were shrouded by murky air, making it impossible to see what they looked like. Without exception, all of them were unfathomably deep like the ocean.
Without a doubt, they were the three Supreme Elders of the Three Lives Pavilion.
"Are you the one with the token?"
The person sitting cross-legged in the middle spoke. His voice was very old, and he seemed to be past his prime.
"That's right, it is me." Ling Xian softly grinned.
"Hmm, Dao Choosing State early stage. This is a little weak. However, he is a Heaven's Favorite with four undefeatable realms. How rare, how rare. "
The elder in the middle said "rare" twice. It was obvious that he thought highly of Ling Xian.
"It truly is rare. However, the leader of the Hidden Pavilion is of great importance. How can an outsider be the leader of the Hidden Pavilion?" The elder on the left spoke and straightforwardly stated that he didn't want Ling Xian to be the leader of the Hidden Pavilion.
"That's right. We don't know him at all. How can we give him the position of the Hidden Pavilion Master? If it's a spy sent by another power, wouldn't our Three Lives Pavilion be in danger? "
The old man on the right also made his stand clear.
Hearing this, Ling Xian faintly smiled. He was not displeased.
Everyone's way of thinking was normal. If it was him, he would've done the same. After all, he was merely a stranger. How can he become the powerful leader of the Hidden Pavilion?
"Elders, the Three Lives Ancestor said that no matter who it is, as long as they have the token, they will be the leader of the Hidden Pavilion."
Jiu Chen spoke softly, "We cannot go against our ancestors' rules. Therefore, I would like to ask you elders to set a test. If he cannot pass, then leave the token behind. If he passes, then wouldn't everyone be happy? "
"That's right. If he can pass our test, then he has the right to become the leader of the Hidden Pavilion."
The elder in the middle grinned, "What do you think?"
Hearing this, the other two were silent for a while before they nodded.
"Okay, then it's decided."
The elder in the middle grinned and shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian, "To be honest, none of us want you to become the leader of the Hidden Pavilion. Therefore, the test will be extremely difficult. You better be mentally prepared."
"Please set a test." Ling Xian smiled, confident and at ease.
"Hmmph, young man, don't be too arrogant. You cannot pass my test." The elder on the left hissed.
The elder on the right also said coldly, "If you know what's good for you, then hurry up and leave. Don't embarrass yourself."
Hearing this, Ling Xian frowned and his desire to win was ignited.
Originally, he didn't have much desire for the position of leader of the Hidden Pavilion. It was Jiu Chen's firm attitude that forced him to participate in the test. Because of this, he had much more anticipation towards the position of leader of the Hidden Pavilion.
Now, these two had made it clear that he was asking to be humiliated and that he would not pass the test. Not only did this not make him cower, it actually ignited his desire to win.
Therefore, he said softly, "What if I pass? What are you going to do?"
"Of course we will make you the rightful leader of the Hidden Pavilion. Your position will be the same as ours. All of the resources of the Pavilion of Three Lives will also be open to you. "
The elder on the left spoke, "Sadly, you cannot pass."
"You are so certain. Are you trying to make things difficult for me?" Ling Xian glared at him. He was neither humble nor arrogant.
His demeanor made Jiu Chen and the elder in the middle look at him with admiration.
"Don't worry about that. I don't stoop so low as to do something like that. Plus, the test for the leader of the Hidden Pavilion has always been like this. I am not purposely making things difficult for you. "
The elder on the left spoke softly, "The four of us have a total of four tests. If you pass all of them, then I will recognize you as the leader of the Hidden Pavilion."
"As long as I am not purposely making things difficult for you, then the position of leader of the Hidden Pavilion is mine for sure."
Ling Xian faintly smiled. His confidence lit up the entire universe.
"Sadly, you do not have the ability to sit on it."
The elder on the right snickered coldly, "Jiu Chen, you first."
Hearing this, Jiu Chen grinned, "Elder, I have passed the test. He has passed as well."
"Oh?"
The elder frowned. Ling Xian was a little confused. He had never been tested.
"Just now, Ling Xian told us everything. He didn't lie to get the position of leader of the Hidden Pavilion."
Jiu Chen had a look of admiration, "He traveled thousands of miles just to complete the previous leader's request. This alone is enough to prove that he is an honest and trustworthy person."
Pausing, he continued, "This quality is one of the qualities that the leader of the Hidden Pavilion must have. Therefore, he has passed my test."
Hearing this, the three supreme elders nodded their heads in agreement.
"Alright, then I will set the next test."
The elder in the middle smiled and shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian, "The responsibility of the Hidden Pavilion is to step up in times of danger and protect the Pavilion of Three Lives. Therefore, being responsible and loyal are the most important. You have nothing to do with the Pavilion of Three Lives, so of course you have no loyalty. "
Pausing, he continued, "Therefore, I will not make things difficult for you. As long as you pass the stone and prove that you have no ill intentions towards the Pavilion of Three Lives, then you pass."
