I just want to torture you to death, don't force me to beat you to death

Hong Rongduan was very relieved.

The reason why he said he would be away for several years was that he hoped that during these years, Ji Yang would understand his intentions in arranging all this.

He could understand that in the path of cultivation, the competition is not about the length of time.

Ji Yang's talent is higher than that of the six disciples before him. As long as he can keep stable, he can enter the Cave Void Realm.

He was afraid that Ji Yang would not be able to keep stable.

In the Hualing Hall, his nephew Lin Nan reported Ji Yang's behavior of entering the Cangtian Realm to the sect. When he saw Ji Yang directly attacking the disciples of the Holy Palace in the market below the Hualing Hall, he was afraid that Ji Yang would be like his six disciples before him, full of pride and strong temper.

For this reason, he arranged this small courtyard and left these slogans and jade slips, especially the first jade slip, which described the genius of the Zhongzhou Xuanjian Sect, to warn Ji Yang.

……

……

“Thank you, Senior Brother Lu, for clearing up my doubts.”

“Junior Brother Ji, you’re welcome. Our Masters are brothers from the same sect. We should get closer.”

Chu Ning said goodbye to Lin Nan. Instead of rushing back to his residence, he wandered around the Saint Mansion.

“No wonder our Master is unwilling to accept disciples. It turns out that six of his brothers died in battle before him.”

While walking, Chu Ning recalled what he had learned from Lin Nan. He was not the only disciple of his Master. His Master had accepted six disciples before him, but all six of them died.

Three died in the secret realm, two died in battles with others, and one died inexplicably. It was suspected that a powerful Dongxu had taken action. His Master had searched for a hundred years but could not find out which Dongxu had taken action. The other party was extremely secretive.

“No wonder my Master would be disheartened. This blow was too great.”

Chu Ning put himself in the shoes of his Master. The six disciples he had carefully cultivated died one after another. It would be strange if he was not disheartened.

Dong!

Just as Chu Ning was thinking, a bell rang in the mansion.

The sound of the bell shook Chu Ning's whole body, and he felt that the vitality of heaven and earth in his body became more active.

"I'm afraid this bell is a virtual weapon."

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly. He practiced the Immovable Mountain Technique, and the vitality of heaven and earth in his body contained the power of the mountain.

The power of the mountain is steady and is the least susceptible to external influences and fluctuations, but now only a bell sound caused the vitality of heaven and earth in his body to fluctuate and become active, which is enough to show that the bell sound is extraordinary.

"I just don't know which one is more powerful, the bell of the Holy Palace or my Soul-Slaying Bell."

While Chu Ning was thinking, a figure landed beside him.

"Junior Brother Ji, the bell for preaching has rung. Junior Brother Ji, you must go with me to listen to the elders' preaching."

"Preaching?"

Chu Ning was a little surprised. Lin Nan saw Chu Ning's confusion and explained, "Every hundred years, the sect will arrange an elder to preach. This bell is to notify all disciples. If you want to listen to the preaching, go to the preaching square immediately."

"Master Hong didn't tell Junior Brother Ji. I think it's because Master Hong thinks Junior Brother Ji doesn't need it."

The preachers are the elders of the Holy Palace, and Chu Ning, as the only disciple of Hong Rongduan, naturally has no shortage of people to answer his questions.

It's like having a special teacher at home, so naturally there is no need to attend the senior teacher's class organized by the school.

However, Chu Ning finally went to the preaching square with Lin Nan. First, he was a little curious, and second, he wanted to take this opportunity to understand the situation of the disciples of the Holy Palace.

This kind of elder-level preaching, those who can go to listen to the class are all strong people of the God of Transformation. If the Yuanying strong people who are lower listen to the preaching of the Dongxu strong, it will be a stunt and will disturb the heart of Tao.

...

Inside the Holy Palace, disciples were allowed to fly at low altitudes. Chu Ning followed Lin Nan and headed towards the western area of ​​the Holy Palace. A quarter of an hour later, they arrived at the Preaching Square.

The Preaching Square was located in a courtyard, and in this courtyard there was a mountain peak. On the mountainside, a figure stood there. Chu Ning recognized the identity of this preaching elder, who was the fourth elder who had fought for him.

Below the mountain peak, there were a thousand cushions on the square.

At this moment, many figures had already sat on these cushions, and at the same time, there were figures walking out of the courtyard, looking for a cushion to sit on.

But no one sat on the ten cushions in the front.

When Chu Ning and Lin Nan entered the courtyard, many figures on the cushions looked over. When their eyes fell on Chu Ning, there was a look of inquiry in their eyes.

Most of the people present were elder disciples. They had also heard about the many elders in the Holy Palace Hall fighting for Chu Ning as their disciple. With the big mouth of Elder Qi, these things were not secrets among the disciples of the Holy Palace at the level of God Transformation.

Some people envy, some people question, and some people are dissatisfied.

Why can a cultivator from a small world be fought over by so many elders?

The cultivators of the Cangtian Realm are full of superiority to the cultivators of the small world, even in the Saint Palace.

"Is he Ji Yang?"

"I don't see what's special about him that so many elders can fight for him."

"I don't know if he dares to sit in the position of the top ten leaders. In the past, several disciples of Uncle Hong sat in the position of the top ten leaders."

Just as these disciples were communicating with each other, another figure appeared in the yard. Seeing this figure, many cultivators on the scene were surprised.

How could this person come?

The young man who walked in exuded a strong aura and a rebellious look. He never glanced at the surrounding cultivators from the beginning to the present. He walked straight to the front and sat on one of the ten cushions in the front.

"Junior Brother Ji, this person is Feng Xing, the Sixth Elder's most valued disciple. He has only been practicing for more than two thousand years, and he entered the late stage of divine transformation five hundred years ago."

Lin Nan transmitted a message to Chu Ning's ear. Chu Ning squinted his eyes and looked at him. He had only practiced for more than two thousand years and entered the late stage of becoming a god five hundred years ago. This means that he had become a god after practicing for only two thousand years. The strong ones in the later stage do have the capital to be proud of.

In the Ninth Realm, those who have been cultivating for two thousand years and can reach the middle stage of becoming a god are considered extremely talented.

"Feng Xing is deeply valued by the six elders. This kind of sermon by the elders has never appeared before. Unless it is the master's sermon once every thousand years, the chief disciples like Feng Xing will show up."

"Chief disciple, are there chief disciples and ordinary disciples in the mansion?"

Chu Ning asked curiously. When he was in the Disciple Pavilion, he had chatted with Senior Brother Zhang for several days and had some understanding of the situation in the sect. The sect did not have any chief disciples, only elder disciples and deacon disciples.

Generally, deacons are the disciples of the elders, and the disciples of the deacons are equivalent to one generation lower. They are two different circles. I have never heard of a chief disciple.

"This is an internal evaluation by us elders and disciples. It is based on the ten futons at the front of each sermon. Anyone sitting on these futons is considered the chief disciple."

"The futon seats are not on a first-come, first-served basis, but whoever is strong will sit in the front. If you are not strong enough to sit in the front, you will be challenged by other brothers."

Lin Nan explained to Chu Ning the origin of the chief disciple.

Those who think they are qualified to sit on the ten futons in front can sit on it, but if other disciples feel that you are not strong enough, they can challenge you, and the loser will leave his seat.

Therefore, those who can sit in the top ten positions are called their chief disciples.

The elders of the sect also knew about this situation, but did not stop it. This also gave the disciples a motivation to practice. If they want to become the chief, they must have the ability to convince the crowd.

"Although the sect does not have a chief disciple, if you really want to become the chief disciple, the sect will be somewhat tilted in terms of resources."

After listening to Lin Nan's explanation, Chu Ning was not interested in the position of chief disciple. He was the first to win. With his own master here, he did not lack the training resources favored by the sect.

Seeing that Chu Ning was not interested in the position of chief, Lin Nan said nothing more and took Chu Ning to find two empty futons in the middle and sat down.

Lin Nan was fine as soon as he sat down. As Chu Ning sat down, all eyes of the others fell on Chu Ning. There was confusion, sneer, and sarcasm in their eyes...

"Brother, I will choose a seat and sit down. What are you looking at?"

Sensing the eyes of the people around him, Chu Ning was a little speechless. Lin Nan glanced at Chu Ning, pondered for a moment, and finally said through a message: "Junior brother Ji, don't worry, these people are surprised because several of Uncle Hong's Disciples will always choose the position of chief when they come here. These people feel a little surprised that you did not choose the position of chief."

After hearing Lin Nan's words, Chu Ning curled his lips inwardly, so were all his previous senior brothers so fierce?

But even if he knew the reason, Chu Ning had no intention of moving his position. Those senior brothers in front were them, and he was himself, and the master didn't want him to be in the limelight.

Seeing Chu Ning sitting indifferently, the other disciples around him slowly withdrew their gazes. At the same time, Feng Xing, who was sitting in the chief position, suddenly stood up.

"It's so boring."

Feng Xing's eyes fell on Chu Ning, and there was something in his eyes: "I thought that this time someone was going to be the chief, and I would be the gatekeeper, but I lost the bet with those people."

After finishing his words, Feng Xing saluted the fourth elder on the mountainside and strode out of the square.

Because of Feng Xing's words, everyone's eyes once again focused on Chu Ning.

By now they knew why Feng Xing appeared here. The guys Feng Xing was talking about were the chief disciples in the mansion. These chief disciples thought that Ji Yang would sit on the chief futon and let Feng Xing come. Guard here to see if Ji Yang is qualified to take the position of chief.

"This man is really not like Master Hong's previous disciples who dared not even take the chief position."

"Those who come from the small world, how can they be compared with the geniuses who come from our heavenly world? Caution will never make a difference."

"I'm afraid this person doesn't dare to take the position of chief. After all, he is favored by so many elders. If he is defeated by Feng Xing and the others, wouldn't it be a shame?"

Lin Nan on the side listened to the unabashed mocking words of others, with a gleam of worry in his eyes. The reason why these brothers mocked Ji Yang so much was simply because of Ji Yang's background.

If Ji Yang came from Cangtian Realm, these people would not be so harsh in their words.

Similarly, if Ji Yang came from the Cangtian Realm, Feng Xing and the other chief disciples would not come to stop Chu Ning from becoming the chief disciple.

There are currently four vacancies among the ten chief positions. In the past, when the chief position was vacant, other chief disciples would guard the gate to prevent other disciples from entering the chief position.

Junior Brother Ji is not wrong, but being born in a small world is the original sin.
