Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

For a long time, the Central Faction and the Left Faction had been evenly matched, controlling the majority of the Elder Council. This time, the red-haired elder had pulled all the strings, hoping to get his relative's grandson into the council, thereby further consolidating the power of their Left Faction.

But unexpectedly, just when everything was ready and they thought victory was in their grasp, such a change occurred! Wu Chun, who had always been underestimated, actually came from behind, not only pushing down Feng Xuanyi, whom they had nominated, but also ranking above Xiao Wangyan, the representative of the Central Faction!

This result was so unexpected that they couldn't accept it.

"Brother Hu, don't be agitated. You should know that the Sacred Fire is the sacred object of our Wuhua Sect. No one can fake it. Now that it has revealed the name of our nephew Wu Chun, it represents the will of the people. Everyone willingly recommends him to become the new elder of our Wuhua Sect. Don't be unreasonable," said Daoist Wuxu, seemingly able to understand the red-clothed elder's feelings, shaking his head and advising.

"The will of the people? Are you trying to deceive me? What virtues or abilities does this kid have that would make you all recommend him? Isn't this just the Central and Right Factions joining forces to target us?" Obviously, the red-clothed elder was still unconvinced and said angrily.

Daoist Wuxu shook his head helplessly after hearing this. Then, he moved his lips slightly and secretly transmitted a message into the red-clothed elder's ear.

"What? The Immortal Cultivation Alliance?"

The red-clothed elder, who had originally appeared extremely angry, was stunned after hearing Daoist Wuxu's words, as if extremely frightened, and remained silent.

"Well, do you have any objections now?" Daoist Wuxu asked again, looking at the red-clothed elder's appearance.

"No... no..."

The previously arrogant red-clothed elder was now completely like a frost-bitten eggplant, drooping down.

You should know that whether in terms of birth or talent, Xiao Wangyan was far superior to Wu Chun, but there was nothing he could do. Wu Chun had something in his hand that he had to be wary of.

It was a red jade pendant, a very ordinary-looking jade pendant.

However, although the style was simple, the one word engraved on this jade pendant suddenly increased its value by thousands or even tens of thousands of times!

"Alliance!"

This was the word engraved on the jade pendant, the font neat and the strokes vigorous. However, Daoist Wuxu was immediately stunned after seeing this word for the first time.

Because the meaning represented by the word 'Alliance' was precisely the 'Immortal Cultivation Alliance'.

At the same time, Daoist Wuxu also discovered that the jade pendant in Wu Chun's hand was actually the identity jade pendant that only a Venerable of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance could possess.

Seeing this token was like seeing the Immortal Cultivation Alliance in person!

Realizing this, Daoist Wuxu had no choice but to disrupt all the established plans before the start of the Elder Council, vigorously recommending Wu Chun to replace Feng Xuanyi and join the Elder Council, even at the expense of Xiao Wangyan's future, letting Wu Chun rank before him.

The purpose of doing so was nothing more than to make the Venerable of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance standing behind Wu Chun feel satisfied.

Although it was unclear why this Venerable would come forward to support Wu Chun, the power of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance was too great. With the strength of their small Wuhua Sect, they could not compete with it at all. For the sake of the sect, Daoist Wuxu made a compromise.

Thus, the Wuhua Sect's elder election ended. Wu Chun, who was originally not favored, unexpectedly became the new elder.

That is to say, he would be qualified to enter the Jade Cave for cultivation!

...

"Greetings, Senior Brother Wu... Oh, I'm wrong. Look at my mouth. It should be Elder Wu!"

"Elder Wu, these are some congratulatory gifts that we brothers have put together. Congratulations to Elder Wu on ascending to the position of elder. He will surely rise steadily in the future!"

The elder election had just ended, and the news of Wu Chun becoming an elder had already spread like wildfire within the sect. Along the way, Wu Chun could see countless disciples coming to curry favor with him. Even more, some secretly stuffed immortal crystal stones and precious pills into Wu Chun's arms.

Faced with such star-studded respect, Wu Chun felt as if he was living in a dream, and his steps began to float.

However, Wu Chun was not a fool. Soon, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly shuddered. He left behind the Wuhua Sect disciples who had come to congratulate him and quickly flew towards the mansion where he lived.

"Hey, what do you think our Elder Wu is rushing to do?" Seeing Wu Chun acting so hastily, a Wuhua Sect disciple felt a little curious and asked quietly.

"Hey, you don't understand this," said a rather clever-looking disciple, blinking his eyes and instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Looking at the expectant and puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, the man twitched his nose, and then opened his mouth in a triumphant tone: "It is said that everyone who enters the Elder Council will have a chance to go to the sacred land of our Wuhua Sect for cultivation. This sacred land is not simple. I heard that there are flowers, trees, and a large waterfall inside, which is very spectacular. And and and, let me tell you..."

The reason why rumors are rumors is that some people who only know a little bit spread them with three parts truth and seven parts lies.

This person was like this. He only knew one thing but not the other. Although he had heard that there was a sacred place in the Wuhua Sect, he knew nothing about what it looked like. So he used his own imagination to exaggerate and brag about it, causing some other people who only knew a little bit to exclaim in amazement.

Of course, Wu Chun at this time did not pay attention to this scene at all, but instead sped up and returned to his mansion as soon as possible.

However, just as Wu Chun wanted to push the door open, he suddenly found that a thick layer of enchantment had enveloped the courtyard gate, preventing him from entering.

Seeing this scene, Wu Chun immediately frowned, after all, this was his own yard.

But there was nothing he could do. As soon as he thought of the great master living inside, Wu Chun did not dare to have any complaints. He took a deep breath and said respectfully: "Disciple Wu Chun requests to see Senior. I have important matters to discuss, and I hope Senior will accommodate me!"
