77: Chapter 77 Immortal Master Mountain, Immortal Commandment Stele, Holy Throne!

Time passed quickly.

Today, the Feixian Sect once again echoed with an earth-shattering commotion, and the sound of clamor filled every corner.

In the sky, countless Elders and Disciples could be seen flying, carving out streaks of flowing light.

They had only one destination, and that was Immortal Revered Master Mountain!

It is rumored that the founding Ancestral Master of the Feixian Sect encountered an Immortal here, underwent a transformation in a single day, and ultimately created the Feixian Sect.

The founding Ancestral Master named this mountain Immortal Revered Master Mountain to commemorate that Immortal.

Today, the entire area inside and outside of Immortal Revered Master Mountain was already packed with people, leaving no room to pass.

Sect Master Nan Feng stood before the Immortal Admonition Stele, with the Nine Great Peak Revered Masters and Nine Great Vice Peak Masters behind him.

Before the start of every True Disciple Grand Competition, he would summon back the Peak Revered Masters and Vice Peak Masters who were traveling abroad.

After all, immediately following the True Disciple Grand Competition would be the selection of the Saint for the Feixian Sect. This was a major event, and the Peak Revered Masters and Vice Peak Masters had to be present.

Therefore, even Yan Ruyu, who had been outside monitoring every move of Xiao Huohuo, had temporarily returned to the Sect.

Lin Ran stood silently behind Su Xiyue, but his gaze would occasionally fixate on the Peak Revered Master of Destiny Peak.

The Peak Revered Master of Destiny Peak was a woman named Xia Lingshuang, who possessed a peerlessly beautiful face that could topple cities.

Her brows and eyes were like frost; her brows were light and slender, the corners of her eyes slightly upturned, and her pupils were as pale as winter mist. When she looked at people, she always carried a sense of aloofness and coldness.

With snowy skin and raven hair, her complexion was as cold and white as fresh snow, and her black hair hung down like satin, the tips occasionally brushing against her exquisite collarbone, like ink dripping onto rice paper.

A tight, pure white snow dress with a lightly tied gauze belt fluttered in the wind, accentuating a waist that could be held in one hand.

A pair of snowy, flawless jade feet, straight and slender, made her look tall and beautiful.

However, Xia Lingshuang was too cold.

She was like a snow lotus surrounded by layers of icebergs, a coldness that was innate, so cold that people dared not approach her.

Lin Ran was attracted to her, not because of her beauty, but because of an aura!

This familiar aura had some connection to the myriad heavens god summoning seal in the netherworld.

He secretly guessed, could it be that another supreme treasure of the Green Robe Lineage was on Xia Lingshuang?

And while he was secretly sizing up Xia Lingshuang, Xia Lingshuang was also secretly sizing him up.

After all, if he could be attracted by the aura of the Green Robe Lineage's supreme treasure on Xia Lingshuang, then likewise, the myriad heavens god summoning seal could also attract Xia Lingshuang.

However, Xia Lingshuang only glanced at Lin Ran slightly before withdrawing her gaze.

Her cold eyes were as calm as lake water, making it impossible for anyone to guess what she was thinking.

"Rebellious Disciple!! If you dare to look at that Destiny Peak Revered Master again, Revered Master will destroy you!!!"

Su Xiyue was furious, pinching Lin Ran's ear hard and transmitting her voice.

This Rebellious Disciple was increasingly disregarding her as his Revered Master.

She was still standing right here, yet this Rebellious Disciple dared to brazenly peek at other women. Couldn't he do such things secretly behind her back?!

No, no!

Even behind her back, the Rebellious Disciple must not do such things!

The Rebellious Disciple should only admire her, this one woman!!!

"Rebellious Disciple, it seems Revered Master needs to properly control you!"

Su Xiyue's phoenix eyes widened, her voice transmission burning with rage.

At the same time, Nan Feng slowly turned around and said, "Nine Great True Disciples, step forward."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiyue glared fiercely at Lin Ran, only then letting him go for the moment with an annoyed huff.

Looking at the Nine Great True Disciples who stepped forward in unison, Nan Feng smiled and said, "Inscribed on the Immortal Admonition Stele are the Principles and Dao, Conduct and Virtue that the Immortal Revered Master passed down to our Sect's First Ancestor."

"When you see the Immortal Admonition Stele, it is as if you see the Immortal Revered Master. Pay your respects."

"Greetings, Immortal Revered Master!"

Lin Ran and the eight others bowed respectfully and piously toward the Immortal Admonition Stele with cupped hands.

Nan Feng nodded and continued, "The seat beside the Immortal Admonition Stele is the Saint Seat, which was the seat where the First Ancestor listened to the Immortal Revered Master preach the Dao in those days."

"Now that the First Ancestor is gone and times have changed, this Saint Seat has gradually become the throne for the Saints and Saintesses."

"Now, with you nine Great True Disciples here, who dares to be the first to guard the Saint Seat?"

As soon as his words fell, everyone's gaze fell upon Lin Ran.

Lin Ran did not hesitate in the slightest, cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to the Sect Master, Disciple Lin Ran dares to be the first!"

After speaking, he lifted his feet and walked toward the Saint Seat, sat down with a pious expression, and placed his hands on the armrests, naturally commanding awe without anger.

"Very good. Is there anyone who does not submit to Lin Ran's Principles and Dao, Conduct and Virtue, and wishes to challenge him?" Nan Feng said.

The crowd of True Disciples looked at each other, but not a single person stepped forward.

They had all witnessed Lin Ran's strength. Even Xu Kun, who had relied on the sha jin pill to break through his cultivation to the Saint Realm Seventh Heaven, had died at Lin Ran's hands. How could they possibly contend with Lin Ran?

Moreover, Lin Ran was the possessor of the Destiny Immortal Body and the Nine Heavens Divine Tribulation Sword Bone, and on top of that, he had distributed nine supreme grade spirit veins to the Nine Great Peaks.

With all these factors, he had long since become the Saint in the hearts of the people!

They naturally would not invite trouble by challenging Lin Ran.

"Huayin, when you came to my Feixian Sect, wasn't your goal always the position of Saintess?"

"Why are you so unusually quiet today?" Xia Lingshuang looked at Li Huayin before her with cold eyes, her red lips parting slightly.

The other few Peak Revered Masters and Vice Peak Masters who had been traveling abroad and had only returned to the Sect a few days ago were also confused to see their True Disciples looking so unusually quiet.

Logically speaking, given the personalities of their True Disciples—who could tear down the peak gate when they made a scene—today was the True Disciple Grand Competition; these True Disciples shouldn't be this quiet.

But they also didn't know that their True Disciples were already completely convinced by Lin Ran and had absolutely no intention of competing.

Li Huayin pursed her lips and slowly walked forward.

"Destiny Peak True Disciple Li Huayin, comes to challenge!"

Li Huayin summoned her Qingping Sword and cupped her hands.

Lin Ran nodded and was just about to stand up, but he was gently pressed down onto the Saint Seat by someone.

"The Saint must be as stable as a monolith to stand firm in all directions."

"You do not need to stand up; just sit there and fight Li Huayin," Nan Feng said indifferently.

"Sect Master, would this be disrespectful?" Lin Ran whispered.

Nan Feng shook his head: "Since you have sat on the Saint Seat, you must regard yourself as the Saint."

"The Saint is the face of my Feixian Sect. Your status and position are far higher than the Nine Great Peak Revered Masters, and you are on equal footing with me."

"How can a mere True Disciple compare to you in status and position?"

"Your sparring with a True Disciple is actually guidance for a subordinate; it should be this way."

Hearing this, Lin Ran nodded and then looked at Li Huayin with an apologetic gaze.

"The rules have always been this way. The Saint need not feel apologetic. Watch my sword!"

"Sword Stacking Treads the Heavenly Waves!"

Li Huayin unleashed her ultimate move right from the start, holding nothing back, and the aura of her Saint Realm Ninth Heaven cultivation poured out without reservation!
