My Master Knows It All

622: Chapter 202_6 622: Chapter 202_6 “Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you are all aware of the changes that have taken place in our Hundred Peaks Sect of late.

These days, the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth is drawing ever nearer, and the number of our Sect’s slumbering powerhouses has been steadily increasing.”

“Before the Sect Leader entered his slumber, following the rules of our Hundred Peaks Sect, he temporarily entrusted the Sect to me, but I too cannot lead the Hundred Peaks Sect for too long, because I too will have to enter slumber eventually.”

“Moreover, I have a premonition that within three days, I will fall into slumber.

And today, the Transmission Elder has also succumbed to slumber, as well as the Protector Elder, who will also soon need to slumber in these times…”

“To prevent chaos from arising in our Hundred Peaks Sect after I and the various Elders have entered slumber, I have decided to convene a grand meeting today to select the Sect Leader, Vice Sect Master, all the Grand Elders, and the Peak Masters who have already reached the Earth Immortal Realm during the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, and to also announce in advance the successors each has chosen.”

Aside from the recently returned Cao Zhen, it seemed everyone present was aware of the reason Jing Zhengfa had convened the meeting, and no one was surprised.

After Jing Zhengfa finished speaking, he directly turned to the just-returned Qiu Wuxing and said, “Flying Immortal Peak has already chosen its successor, and Nie Jie has been tentatively appointed as the Peak Master of Flying Immortal Peak.

May I ask Qiu Peak Master, who is your candidate for Peak Master of Five Elements Peak during the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth?”

Upon hearing this, Qiu Wuxing did not hesitate and immediately replied, “Wu Xiang will temporarily take charge of Five Elements Peak.”

No matter how one looked at it, Wu Xiang was the most suitable candidate.

The surrounding crowd showed no surprise.

Although Wu Xiang had not yet achieved the Perfect Completion Golden Core with its ten distinct phenomena, he was the next most prominent figure at this level.

Among the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect, he could be ranked eighth.

“Very well, then…”

Qiu Wuxing proceeded to inquire about the successor from one Peak Master to another.

Today, Cao Zhen finally learned just how many Peak Masters of the One Hundred Peaks were of the Earth Immortal Realm.

Twenty-eight Peak Masters were of the Earth Immortal Realm.

And all twenty-eight Peak Masters had selected their successors.

After Jing Zhengfa finished questioning all the Peak Masters of the Earth Immortal Realm, Deng Qixing stood up and addressed Jing Zhengfa, “Vice Sect Master, I have a matter to report.”

Deng Qixing, though not highly cultivated, still held the authority of a Peak Master, despite Seven Star Peak’s currently low ranking within the Sect.

Jing Zhengfa respectfully nodded and said, “Peak Master Deng, please speak your mind.”

Deng Qixing raised his hand and self-deprecatingly pointed to himself, “Although this old man has not become an Earth Immortal, I also wish to relinquish the position of Peak Master of Seven Star Peak today and let the crowd witness it.”

The surrounding crowd could sense the weakness in Deng Qixing’s aura, and they all fell silent.

With a sigh in his heart, Jing Zhengfa nodded and said, “I am aware of this matter.

Will the Protector Elder please record the change of Seven Star Peak’s leadership in the record.”

After saying that, he paused before his gaze settled on Cao Zhen, who stood behind Deng Qixing, and spoke, “In addition, the position of the Master of Hidden Dragon View also needs to be addressed.

Before the Sect Leader entered his slumber, he discussed it with everyone, and I believe you are all aware.

Now, since Master Lv is here, let’s have Master Lv speak.”

Before Cao Zhen and the others returned, Lv Chaoqiong, who had already arrived at the Hundred Peaks Sect, stepped forward facing the crowd and said, “From today onward, Peak Master Cao will succeed as the Master of the Hidden Dragon View.

This is not a temporary appointment for the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, but the position of the true Master of Hidden Dragon View.

Peak Master Cao, please step forward.”

When Cao Zhen was in Capital City, Lv Chaoqiong had already discussed it with him, so he was not surprised to know that he was to become the Master of Hidden Dragon View upon his return.

He quickly stood up and walked to the front.

Lv Chaoqiong then handed a rolled-up painting to Cao Zhen and said, “This is the Picture of Hidden Dragon, the symbol of identity for the Master of Hidden Dragon View.

Peak Master Cao, from the moment you accept the Picture of Hidden Dragon, you are both the Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak and the Master of the Hidden Dragon View.”

As Lv Chaoqiong spoke, she took a step back and bowed to Cao Zhen, “I greet you, Master Cao.”

Following her voice, waves of voices arose from below.

“I greet you, Master Cao.”

Within the Hundred Peaks Sect, there was no concrete distinction in rank and status.

Except for the Sect Leader’s status being higher than that of a Peak Master, and a Peak Master higher than a Disciple, there was no distinct hierarchy among Peak Masters, Elders, and the Master of Hidden Dragon View.

Yet at this moment, quite a few Peak Masters of the Hundred Peaks Sect, along with their disciples, still called out to greet Master Cao.

Cao Zhen, listening to these loud calls and looking at the Picture of Hidden Dragon in his hand, suddenly felt its weightiness.

Becoming the Master of Hidden Dragon View, he had gained another layer of responsibility.

As he felt the burden of responsibility growing heavier, Jing Zhengfa’s voice once again resounded.

“Now that everyone who should pass on their roles has done so, let us commence with the election of the Hundred Peaks Sect’s Sect Leader, Vice Sect Master, and all Elders for the period of the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth.

“First, we will select the Sect Leader.

According to the rules, during the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, the Sect Leader will be chosen by one vote from each Peak Master of the Hundred Peaks and one vote from each of the major Elders, as well as one vote from everyone who has completed Pill Fusion with a Perfect Golden Core.

Now, before we begin the voting, do any of you have recommended candidates?”

As Cao Zhen listened to Jing Zhengfa’s words, he quickened his pace toward the crowd below, while internally criticizing, ‘This Vice Sect Master simply refuses to delegate his duties.

I haven’t even descended yet and the voting has already begun.

What’s the meaning of this?’

Just as he was walking, Tu Zhuque, one of the many Peak Masters seated in a very prominent position, suddenly stood up and called out loudly, “Master Cao, please hold your step.

Master Cao…Peak Master Cao, don’t go down just yet.”

As Tu Zhuque spoke, his voice amplified and he shouted to the crowd, “I nominate the Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak, the Master of Hidden Dragon View, Cao Zhen, as our White Hundred Peak Sect’s Sect Leader for the period of the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth!”

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhen’s forward steps suddenly faltered, and he thought, ‘Chief Tu, who ahould be recommended other than me?

Why do you recommend me?

Shouldn’t you be recommending your own disciple?

She is already at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, so why recommend me?’

‘And your disciple and I are a faux dao companion couple, not a real one!’
