"If that rift really expands, it will inevitably form an even more powerful spatial gate. At that time, the other worlds that covet my Mountain and Sea Realm will definitely not let this opportunity pass!"
"If a powerful figure whose strength far surpasses that of cultivators in our Mountain and Sea Realm were to appear... even if it is just a few loose immortals rushing in! The consequences would be unimaginable."
"This matter concerns the very survival of the Mountain and Sea Realm, and our Tide Sect dares not be presumptuous or conceal anything. We have come here today to request Your Excellency's intervention to contact the other two realms and resolve this matter together!"
After the Tide Emperor finished speaking, he made a gesture as if to kowtow downwards.
Even Venerable Tianxu was moved. A spatial fluctuation occurred, and Venerable Tianxu was no longer on the sect leader's throne.
Everyone came to their senses, and Venerable Tianxu had already reached Emperor Chaoxi, helping him up and earnestly saying:
"Your Majesty, why are you doing this? In the cultivation world, strength is revered. Although I am of a higher seniority than you, my cultivation is the same as yours. How can I accept your bow? Aren't you making me feel utterly ashamed?"
"The matter of the fifth generation sect leader back then was also due to its own reasons. We have never blamed the Tide Sect. After all, your contributions to the Mountain and Sea Realm are obvious to all."
“We know that you have been living in seclusion for thousands of years, focusing on suppressing the enemy and patching up the loopholes. We also understand that you have unspeakable difficulties.”
"Our four major sects are an eternal alliance, and our ancestral teachings require us to share the destiny of the Mountain and Sea Realm! Now that the Tide Sect is in trouble, how can we sit idly by?"
"Don't worry, I will discuss this with those old men from Huangya Mountain and Qianfu Temple. I will personally lead a team to the sea with them to help you resolve the weaknesses in your formation!"
"Are you satisfied with this arrangement?"
Upon hearing this, the Tide Emperor finally felt relieved. He smiled and whispered in the ear of the Heavenly Void Venerable:
"Thank you very much, Grandpa Tianxu!"
"Huh? Still teasing me? You need to remember, you're a Mahayana cultivator, you should act like a peak cultivator from the Mountain and Sea Realm. Don't call me that like before, I can't accept it."
Venerable Tianxu reprimanded him in a serious manner, but Emperor Chaoxi didn't care and still had that sly, carefree look on his face.
Seeing this, Venerable Tianxu could only shake his head and smile wryly. Then he addressed the crowd of elders at the Supreme Elders' table:
"Alright, I will personally take charge of the matter of assisting the Tide Gate in fixing the loopholes in the formation. Elders, during my absence, you must keep a close eye on the formations under our sect's responsibility and make sure there are no mistakes."
"We will obey the Ancestor's will!" The white-haired elders at the table all stood up and responded in unison.
"Grandmaster, we have something else to report!" Ning Fengyi suddenly stepped forward.
Upon hearing this, Venerable Tianxu nodded. Ning Fengyi, however, stood in the center of the hall with Bai Yan, her face stern, and said:
"We learned from the Tide Emperor that Nangong Que, the culprit who killed our master, has recently appeared in the sea."
"Therefore, I want to leave Tian Ce Palace for a while after the Holy Son's coronation ceremony, and go to the sea with Junior Brother Bai and Uncle Liu to find Nangong Que!"
Upon hearing the name "Nangong Que," Venerable Tianxu suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold voice:
"But that traitor who killed several of my sect's Supreme Elders in the Divine Ruins Secret Realm and then fled to the Central Killing Domain?"
“Exactly!” Ning Fengyi and Bai Yan replied in unison.
"Are you clear about his current cultivation level and strength?" Venerable Tianxu asked again.
"Back then, he was severely injured and crippled after escaping from the Divine Ruins Secret Realm. He had been recuperating in the Central Killing Domain ever since. My junior brother Bai and I, led by Uncle Liu, went to the Central Killing Domain to find him once. After a fierce battle, he still managed to escape."
"When we found him, he was still at the peak of the Void Returning stage. We also severely injured him afterwards. I can confirm that his Dao foundation has been seriously damaged and it is impossible for him to improve his cultivation level any further."
"The combined strength of myself, Junior Brother Bai, and Uncle Liu is more than enough to deal with Nangong Que! If we can find him, we are absolutely confident that we can kill him or even capture him alive!"
After Ning Fengyi finished speaking with a slightly agitated expression, Venerable Tianxu still squinted his eyes and frowned in thought.
After a long silence, Venerable Tianxu finally spoke:
"I agree to the three of you going, but after you leave, no sect leader can take over your position. Who do you plan to appoint to succeed you as sect leader?"
Ning Fengyi and Bai Yan exchanged a glance, then both turned their gazes to Bai Ke. Ning Fengyi pointed at Bai Ke and said:
"I plan to appoint the newly crowned Holy Son, Bai Ke, as the acting sect leader!"
Now everyone's attention was focused on Bai Ke again.
Bai Ke, who was engrossed in watching the show, was once again dumbfounded.
Holy crap, is this for real? Is it really that sudden? Isn't this plot development a bit abrupt?
"An eighteen-year-old acting sect leader, and also a Holy Son—this is unprecedented in our Tian Ce Palace. Feng Yi, tell us your reasons." Venerable Tian Xu's expression suddenly relaxed, and he asked with great interest.
"Grandmaster, this matter was not a decision I made arbitrarily, but rather the result of our discussions..."
"It was I who strongly recommended Bai Ke to Feng Yi. Elders, I believe that Bai Ke is absolutely capable of undertaking this important task."
Before Ning Fengyi could finish speaking, Master Liu suddenly stood up from his seat, interrupting her.
Then he walked over to Bai Ke, put his arm around him, and shouted to the crowd:
"Although Bai Ke is still young, he is meticulous, brave and resourceful! He showed his unique personality when he was chasing a disciple who had defected from the sect."
Master Liu then recounted the entire process of pursuing Ling Feng to everyone present.
When one of the elders heard that Master Liu had said that Bai Ke had broken into the out-of-control killing formation, he stood up excitedly.
After Master Liu finished his story, the Supreme Elder couldn't wait any longer and shouted at Bai Ke, "Did you really break into the killing formation I set up back then?"
"He is Elder Fengyu, who set up that killing formation," Master Liu reminded Bai Ke.
Bai Ke nodded and calmly said to Feng Yu:
"Senior Feng's killing formation was incredibly profound. I only managed to enter by avoiding the formation's attack trigger points."
As he spoke, Bai Ke opened his hand and slowly condensed a blood-red mark, which was the array imprint engraved after being recognized by the killing array!
“Good! Young friend, after the meeting, I will definitely have a detailed discussion with you about that killing formation…” Feng Yu was very excited after seeing the formation imprint, and his eyes revealed great interest.
Seeing this, Master Liu realized that now was a good opportunity, so after Feng Yu finished speaking, he asked the crowd:
"Does anyone have any opinions on Bai Ke taking on the role of acting leader?"
