45: The position of the master of Xiaoyou Peak!

“Damn it!!!”

He really overestimated himself!

He had thought that the Heavenly Tower of the Heaven's Pride Ranking would simply be a formality for Chen Qingfeng at this stage.

But he didn't expect the difficulty within it to be far greater than he had imagined.

The eleventh floor was passed!

Although it wasn't too difficult to pass, facing over thirty Late-stage Core Formation Realm Clones, who also Cultivated the same Dustless Sword Art and the same Law, Heaven, Image, Earth, this floor took Chen Qingfeng almost a quarter of an hour!

“I always feel like this kid's Cultivation is still hidden!”

“In the Heavenly Tower of the Heaven's Pride Ranking, facing over thirty Late-stage Core Formation Realm Clones, the combat power he displayed was clearly a significant step up from when he fought Lu Xuanzong just now.”

“Especially his True Qi, have you noticed it? Does it not seem like True Qi of the Core Formation Realm? Instead, it seems more like True Qi of the Golden Core Realm?”

Outside the arena, the Peak Lords of the various peaks couldn't help but converse with each other.

Regarding Chen Qingfeng's performance today, they were increasingly astonished and shocked the more they watched.

If Chen Qingfeng had truly reached the Golden Core Realm, it would mean that his strength was already sufficient to be promoted to an Elder of the Tianyi Sect.

An Elder in his twenties?

This wouldn't just be refreshing the history of the Tianyi Sect; it would likely refresh the history of the entire Cangzhou World!

“Everyone!”

“Please state your opinions. Everyone present is either a Peak Lord of a major peak or an Elder of one of the thirty-six halls. What do you have to say about Chen Qingfeng's future?”

He Qianqiu stood at the head of the crowd, his gaze sweeping over the Peak Lords and Elders present. Then, he used a voice transmission to ask them.

Killing intent!

That's right!

In He Qianqiu's eyes, a hint of killing intent clearly flashed in his pupils.

Moreover, he deliberately showed this killing intent to the Peak Lords and Elders present.

Clearly, in his subconscious, he wanted to eliminate Chen Qingfeng.

After all, at such a young age, he had already displayed extraordinary talent and strength.

This should have been a good thing for the entire Tianyi Sect.

Unfortunately, while Chen Qingfeng's talent and strength were so formidable, his sharpness and vigor were equally, if not more, pronounced.

A sword that is too sharp can wound its wielder.

This was undoubtedly the same for the Tianyi Sect.

Therefore, He Qianqiu was somewhat hesitant.

To keep him, or to eliminate him!!!

“Does Sect Master mean… that he fears Chen Qingfeng might be a threat to us?”

Yang Dingtian instantly understood the meaning behind He Qianqiu's words.

To put it simply, he feared Chen Qingfeng had rebellious tendencies.

And judging from Chen Qingfeng's various actions and attitudes, this kid indeed acted slovenly and showed no respect for the Sect's Elders.

He didn't act like a righteous Disciple; instead, he was more like a rogue Cultivator.

Extremely unorthodox.

“I think Sect Master's concerns are not unfounded.”

“From the results of the Eight Treasures Peak's three peaks, it's clear that Sect Master is right. He mercilessly slaughtered five Prodigies from the Eight Treasures Peak's three peaks, showing no mercy at all.”

“After all, they are all from the same Sect and same lineage. Generally speaking, even in a competition, they would leave some leeway, but he, on the other hand, aimed for fatal blows in every move, every move filled with killing intent!”

“You must know, this is when he only has the Cultivation of the Core Formation Realm. If he truly reaches the Golden Core Realm or Nascent Soul Realm, he might treat us the same way!”

Among the thirty-six hall Elders, several Elders were the first to express their stance.

They were all Elders from the Eight Treasures Peak, Qiqing Peak, and Wuping Peak, so they naturally spoke on behalf of these three peaks.

After all, Lu Xuanzong was still slumped among the Disciples of the Eight Treasures Peak, covered in blood like a beggar.

“Although Sect Master and the Elders' concerns are not entirely unreasonable, if we really want to eliminate Chen Qingfeng, what reason would we find?”

“To say his talent is too prodigious? Or to say he disrespects his Elders and defies his Master? You must know, his conflict with the three major peaks was not initiated by him alone, but rather the three major peaks themselves bullying a junior, only to be slapped in the face by the junior.”

“If this is considered a crime, requiring us to be wary of him, or even eliminate him, then in the future, in this vast Tianyi Sect with thousands of Disciples, who would dare to show their talent? Who would dare to utter a single word of injustice?”

For a time, among the thirty-six hall Elders, other Elders with differing opinions voiced their attitudes via voice transmission.

Eliminate him?

Or keep him?

Regarding this core question, the Peak Lords of the various peaks and the Elders of each hall immediately began to argue incessantly, holding different stances.

The Peak Lords and Elders who were closer to the Eight Treasures Peak, Qiqing Peak, and Wuping Peak advocated for a permanent solution, eliminating future troubles!

After all, in the world of Cultivation, Geniuses are everywhere.

Compared to an uncontrollable Prodigy, they preferred a Puppet without any sharpness!

Meanwhile, the Peak Lords and Elders who had disputes and grievances with the Eight Treasures Peak, Qiqing Peak, and Wuping Peak insisted that Chen Qingfeng must be kept.

The reason was simple!

The Tianyi Sect was a first-grade Sect, the lowest rank among Sects in the Cangzhou World!

Almost everyone in the entire Sect yearned for the Tianyi Sect to rise to a second-grade Sect!

Now, a Prodigy like Chen Qingfeng, rarely seen in a century, had finally appeared.

How could they completely eradicate the hope of the Tianyi Sect becoming a second-grade Sect?

“You few seem to have been silent. What are your thoughts?”

Both sides had valid arguments, making it difficult for He Qianqiu to make a decision.

Finally, seeing Yang Dingtian of Dayan Peak, Luo Hongchen of Shuangshen Peak, Cao Xingzhi of San Ye Peak, and Qiu Yuanzhen of Si Xiang Peak remain silent, he couldn't help but look towards them.

These four were He Qianqiu's true Senior Brothers and Sisters, from the same Master.

He Qianqiu valued their opinions quite a bit.

“Keep him!!!”

This was Yang Dingtian's answer.

“Must keep him!!!”

This was Luo Hongchen's answer!

“Not only must he be kept, but the Sect must also show its attitude, demonstrating its Pay attention to of such Disciples!”

“In my opinion, isn't Xiao You Peak missing a Peak Lord? And this Chen Qingfeng just happens to be from Xiao You Peak. If that's the case, why not let him take over the position of Little Nether Peak Lord and grant him the authority to establish a peak and take Disciples?”

Cao Xingzhi of San Ye Peak and Qiu Yuanzhen of Si Xiang Peak followed one after another, transmitting their words.

The position of Little Nether Peak Lord?

Granting the authority to establish a peak and take Disciples?

That's right!

Xiao You Peak was the fourteenth peak of the Tianyi Sect.

Although it had gradually withered and declined over the past few centuries, if Chen Qingfeng could restore Xiao You Peak to its former glory, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

“This is somewhat like the illusion we saw before, called 'Journey to the West'!”

“Using the position of Bi Ma Wen to bring in the Great Sage Equal to Heaven!”

“I just hope it doesn't end up like in that illusion, with a big scene of wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Palace!!!”

He Qianqiu pondered for a few breaths and finally agreed to the proposal of letting Chen Qingfeng take over the position of Little Nether Peak Lord!
