I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice

Chu Shen was surprised by the grand reception he received upon returning to the Langxuan Heavenly Palace.

When he arrived at the inner court and received the message from Wangchen, asking him to go to Langxuan Peak, he was even more shocked to see the disciples of the Ten Immortal Peaks lined up neatly to welcome him.

"Welcome back to the palace, Vice Palace Master!"

Except for the peak masters, vice peak masters, and elders, most of the formal disciples who stayed in the Heavenly Palace were present. Leading them was his senior sister, Yan, whom he always felt was not very efficient in her work.

"Senior sister, what is this about...?"

Yan's expression was subtle, showing a mixture of unwillingness and relief. Finally, she sighed and said, "Go inside quickly. Master has been waiting for you. You... will probably become the successor to the palace master soon."

Chu Shen was extremely surprised. "What?"

Yan led the way, and wherever they passed, even the aristocratic disciples who had the least favorable relationship with Chu Shen had to respectfully bow and pay their respects. As for what they were thinking in their hearts, no one knew.

"The specific reason probably has something to do with your trip to the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty this time. Master is very satisfied with what you have done, and many junior brothers and sisters admire you greatly... You have really done well. Even I and others probably couldn't have achieved what you have."

In her words, there was a hint of admiration.

However, Chu Shen frowned slightly, feeling that something was not right. Although this trip to the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty had its fair share of unexpected events, he did indeed do some things. He even personally stayed behind to protect the safety of many disciples of the Heavenly Palace when the Lanfeng was ambushed.

But the "prestige" generated by these actions was definitely not enough to make him the successor to the Heavenly Palace. Just like how a first-class hero on the battlefield does not necessarily become the next highest leader of the country.

On the other hand, the success of the Heavenly Palace reforms that he had pushed for could truly increase the possibility of him becoming the successor to the Heavenly Palace.

The problem is that Yan Shu probably doesn't know what Master Wangchen, the palace master, is thinking. It would be better to ask Wangchen directly instead of asking her.

With this thought, Chu Shen quickened his pace, completely ignoring the disciples on both sides who were lined up to welcome him and continuously paying their respects.

Seeing the grand scene set by the palace master, he didn't feel a sense of pride, but rather more fear.

Finally, he arrived at the main hall of Langhuan Peak. After a series of elaborate rituals, Wangchen dismissed the people around him and let Chu Shen, who had many questions in his mind, know that he wanted to speak to him alone.

"You're still wondering why I made such a show for you, right?"

Wangchen was straightforward and directly addressed Chu Shen's biggest doubt.

Chu Shen bowed and said, "Disciple does indeed have this doubt. Although Senior Sister said that our trip to the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty was impressive and made the master very satisfied, but..."

This is Langhuan Heavenly Palace, one of the top sects in the cultivation world, with a status that is no less than one of the Five Constants of Profound Heaven!

The position of the palace master of Langhuan Heavenly Palace can be imagined to be of great weight!

To obtain such a position, not only does one need profound cultivation that can suppress the scene, but also a huge prestige that can suppress various loyal forces that are not obedient!

Even a powerful palace master like Wangchen, who is in the Unity Realm and has the support of Langhuan Peak, Lingxi Peak, and Lingjue Peak, has been suppressing dissidents for hundreds of years and still has to struggle or compromise with the interest groups inside and outside the heavenly palace in many matters!

What kind of virtue and ability does someone like Chu Shen have to ascend to such a high position?

With the achievements of the Tang Xian Dynasty, it's simply a joke!

Wang Chen nodded, smiling satisfied, and said, "Not bad, not bad."

Chu Shen:

Can only quietly listen to the following.

Wang Chen slowly stood up from the main seat and came to Chu Shen. He looked at him for a while before sighing, "As a teacher, I know that this is like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, but... it's too slow. Your senior brothers and sisters are not reliable. They may have developed limbs, but their minds... although not empty, are all like wooden blocks. Unfortunately, as a teacher, I am about to make a breakthrough, and I don't know when I will step into the Empty Void..."

Chu Shen's heart skipped a beat as he looked at Wang Chen in astonishment, finally understanding why the palace master was so "anxious".

Above the Unity Realm, there are the Empty Void and Mahayana realms, but these two realms are completely different from the previous ones.

Although he didn't know the mysteries behind them, those who reached the Empty Void realm would all leave the mortal world, hide away, and cultivate in seclusion. This was common sense.

The various peaks of the Langxuan Heavenly Palace have had many past experts in the Empty Void and Mahayana realms who cultivated in seclusion. However, unless the Langxuan Heavenly Palace faced imminent destruction, these senior experts would ignore worldly affairs ninety-nine percent of the time.

Even if they knew that the Langxuan Heavenly Palace was facing destruction, some of these senior experts probably wouldn't take action.

The most popular explanation for this situation is the concept of "breaking cause and effect, severing worldly ties, and observing heavenly destiny". Unless there are a few things that truly concern the Empty Void realm experts, which can trigger their reactions by chance, ordinary worldly matters no longer attract their attention at that realm. This includes matters like the position of the palace master of the Langxuan Heavenly Palace!

Forget Dust has the possibility of stepping into the Empty Void at any time, which means he also has the possibility of abandoning the position of Palace Master at any time. He cannot be sure whether, after reaching that realm, he will still have the leisure to care about the inheritance of the position of Palace Master. Therefore, he wants to arrange things properly while he still hasn't let go.

Unfortunately, this matter of the successor is really giving him a headache. Yan Shu and other disciples definitely have excellent cultivation qualifications, but they really can't handle the temperament required for the position of Palace Master. It's Chu Shen, this closed-door disciple, who is more suitable.

"This is fate!" Forget Dust finished speaking about his headache-inducing problem, bitterly smiling.

It's not that he hasn't prepared early, but a series of preparations have all ended in failure.

Take Yan Shu, for example. Who could have expected her administrative abilities to be so lacking when she was not placed in a position to handle palace affairs?

And the Saint Child, who is like a hidden person, is obsessed with cultivation and cannot extricate himself. Whoever disturbs him, he gets angry with them, and he doesn't do any work.

Or the other disciples of Langxuan Peak, individually, they are all outstanding, but when placed in the position of Palace Master, they all have the aura of a ruler who brings ruin to the country.

It's really a series of unfortunate events that leave people speechless.

On the other hand, since Chu Shen entered the sect, although he has made many provocative moves and caused chaos in Langxuan Heavenly Palace, they have mostly been measures that benefit the development of the heavenly palace and rebalance its power. Indeed, he is more suitable for the position of Palace Master.

Thinking about it this way, Chu Shen also became dumbfounded. If he were in Forget Dust's position, he would be at a loss too. If he doesn't attribute all of this to fate, should he blame Forget Dust himself?

The problem is, Chu Shen is very clear about one thing. Even if he is more suitable to take over Forget Dust's position, he is still not the best candidate because... his cultivation level is too low. He is only at the Spirit Gathering stage. He can cause trouble in various ways with the identity of acting Vice Palace Master, but it's all relying on Forget Dust's influence!

Once Forget Dust truly steps into the Empty Void Realm and abandons palace affairs, who can he rely on?

Forget Dust obviously also thought of this: "So, from now on, my disciples, quickly improve your strength and build good relationships with the various factions that support Langxuan Peak. Your time is running out!"
