6: Chapter 6: Conferring Titles on the Ancestor, the Entire Clan Pays Homage!

The air on the plaza froze.

Thousands of gazes simultaneously shot toward Su Changge, filled with awe, adoration, and a near-frenzied fanaticism.

Sect Master bent his waist, being extremely cautious even when lifting his head, weighing every word three times in his mind.

“Senior, this place is noisy and crowded; it is truly not a suitable location for a quiet conversation.”

His voice was kept very low, carrying a slight tremor.

“This Junior is bold enough to request Senior to move to the Main Peak Hall of the Sect. This Junior... wishes to fulfill the duties of a host.”

After speaking, he made a 'please' gesture, his entire body nearly pressed against the ground.

Su Changge's scalp tingled with anxiety.

Go to the Main Peak Hall?

Isn't that just seeking death!

Surrounded by a group of old monsters at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages, what if an Elder got curious and asked, 'What are Senior's insights on the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth?' How would he answer?

Recite a section of the tao te ching to fool them?

He would likely be seen through on the spot and then slapped into a meat patty!

He absolutely could not go!

The alarm bells in his mind were already ringing loudly, yet his face showed no ripple of emotion as he simply shook his head gently.

With just this simple movement, Sect Master's heart nearly stopped beating.

Did he do something wrong? Or was it that a third-rate little School like the Taixuan Sect simply couldn't enter Senior's eyes?

Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead as he hurriedly tried to make amends: “It was this Junior's oversight! With Senior's heaven-reaching cultivation, how could you condescend to be a mere guest!”

“Given Senior's status, it is only right that this Junior abdicates the position of Sect Head to you!”

“From this day forth, you shall be the new Sect Head of our Taixuan Sect!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire field erupted.

Law Enforcement Elder Wang Tiemian and the others were not surprised; instead, they all nodded their heads rapidly.

With such a god-like figure presiding over them, why would the Taixuan Sect worry about not flourishing?

Forget a Sect Head position; even if the entire Sect were offered up with both hands, the Taixuan Sect would still be getting the better end of the deal!

Su Changge nearly spat out blood.

Make him the Sect Head?

What kind of crazy idea was that!

He couldn't even count how many mountain peaks the Sect had, and they wanted him to manage a Sect?

Within three days, the Taixuan Sect would go bankrupt in his hands!

A stormy sea of turmoil surged within him, and he desperately wanted to wave his hand in refusal.

But to save his little life, he could only squeeze out two words through his teeth, his voice carrying an exhaustion that seemed to have seen through all things.

“No need.”

Feeling that these two words lacked sufficient weight, he added another sentence, his gaze drifting toward the distance as if recalling some distant past event.

“I have no more attachments to the Mortal World. I only wish for quiet cultivation.”

These words were spoken calmly and lightly, yet they carried a sense of infinite worldly wisdom.

After Sect Master heard this, he was completely stunned.

Right!

He was truly too vulgar!

An existence like Senior had long ago jumped out of the Three Realms and was no longer within the Five Elements. What difference was power and status in his eyes compared to the dust by the roadside?

He actually dared to use the Sect Head position of a third-rate Sect to 'entice' him; this was simply a desecration of an Immortal!

But... to just let Senior be an ordinary Disciple would be an even greater act of disrespect that Heaven and Earth would not tolerate!

Sect Master's mind raced, and after rejecting over a dozen ideas, he finally thought of a way to satisfy both sides!

With a 'thud,' he knelt down again, this time in a full prostrate bow, his tone reaching the peak of sincerity: “Senior does not wish to be disturbed by mundane affairs; this Junior understands!”

“But Senior is a Supreme Immortal opportunity that our Taixuan Sect hasn't encountered in ten thousand years. The Sect cannot fail to honor you with a title, otherwise we will be unable to eat or sleep in peace, and our Dao Hearts will be unstable!”

“This Junior is bold enough to request Senior's permission to accept the position of 'Little Martial Ancestor' of our Taixuan Sect!”

“The status is above the Grand Elder, of the same generation as the Founding Ancestral Master! You shall not manage mundane Sect affairs, answer only to the Sect Head, and enjoy the Sect's highest offerings!”

Little Martial Ancestor?

When Su Changge heard these words, his brain exploded with a 'boom.'

High status, great seniority, no work to do, and the highest treatment...

This... wasn't this a god-tier position tailor-made for him?!

Wasn't this the ultimate 'lying flat' life he had dreamed of since his Transmigration?!

Emotions of wild joy rushed to his head like a volcanic eruption.

But his powerful will to survive forcefully suppressed this surge of joy.

He slowly nodded and squeezed out a single word from his throat, his voice as flat as if he were agreeing to a trivial matter.

“Acceptable.”

“Thank you, Little Martial Ancestor!”

Sect Master was overjoyed, his old face flushing with excitement as if he had received a heavenly blessing. “On behalf of the entire Taixuan Sect, Qingyunzi thanks the Little Martial Ancestor!”

After saying that, he was about to kowtow again, but was stopped by a single look from Su Changge.

In the next moment, atop the Sect's Main Peak, the ancient and distant sound of a bell echoed through the nine peaks!

Clang—! Clang—! Clang—!

This was the highest etiquette, the Nine-Resonance Mountain-Settling Bell, which was only rung when the Sect faced a life-or-death crisis or was welcoming the most distinguished guest!

Sect Master urgently summoned all Inner Sect Elders and Deacons to the Sect Hall to publicly announce everything that had just happened, and formally established Su Changge's Supreme status as the 'Little Martial Ancestor' by the Sect Head's decree!

As the news spread, the entire Taixuan Sect was in an uproar!

Meanwhile, those Disciples who had previously mocked Su Changge without restraint on the plaza were now shrinking into corners, their faces ashen, shaking uncontrollably.

“It's over... I previously called the Little Martial Ancestor a ten-thousand-year trash...” One Disciple's lips were pale, his legs went weak, and he slumped directly onto the ground.

“I... I even said he was occupying the spot without doing anything, a disgrace to the Sect...” Another Disciple had already begun silently writing his final testament.

“Will the Little Martial Ancestor crush us with one finger? I heard that such great figures value face the most...”

Just as they were suffering in endless fear, feeling they would experience Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering in the next second, a divine decree was spread through the entire Outer Sect by the Sect Head's mouth.

“Those who did not know are guiltless.”

Five simple words, yet to these Disciples, they were no different from a divine melody from the Nine Heavens!

The abyss of despair was instantly filled, turning into a stairway to heaven!

“Little Martial Ancestor... he... he forgave us?”

“Waaa... I was wrong! I was truly wrong! Little Martial Ancestor has such broad-mindedness, yet I judged a gentleman's heart with my petty thoughts! I am not human!” One Disciple burst into tears on the spot and gave himself two harsh slaps.

“Little Martial Ancestor is merciful! With such magnanimity, we mortals don't even have the qualification to look up to him!”

For a time, countless Disciples were moved to tears, kneeling and bowing from afar toward Su Changge's direction, shouting “Little Martial Ancestor is merciful.” The voices gathered into a tide that pierced the clouds.

At the same time, in Su Changge's mind, the System's notification sounds had turned into a waterfall of data.

[Ding! Received fanatical worship from Outer Sect Disciple Zhang San, emotion points +20!]

[Ding! Received die-hard gratitude from Outer Sect Disciple Li Si, emotion points +35!]

[Ding! Received absolute awe from Law Enforcement Elder Wang Tiemian, emotion points +800!]

[Ding! Received deified worship from Sect Master Qingyunzi, emotion points +2000!]

...

Looking at the numbers scrolling wildly on the System panel, Su Changge's eyes nearly popped out.

“Holy crap, I can earn points like this too? And so ridiculously much?”

He quickly opened the System Shop and scanned through.

[Entry-Level Cultivation Technique 'Evergreen Art': 10,000 emotion points.]

[Cultivation Level Up: Qi Refining Level 2: 100,000 emotion points.]

Su Changge sucked in a breath of cold air.

It seemed this bluffing... no, this great cause of spreading the Dao, still had a long way to go!

He immediately made a decision.

The urgent priority was to quickly find an Immortal Cave to hide in, properly study this 'emotion points System,' and incidentally... find a way to raise his real cultivation level by even a little bit.

Otherwise, being this Little Martial Ancestor was truly too nerve-wracking!
