440: The decision of the Supreme Lord of Tai Xuan

Three months later.

The Second Layer of Taixuan Realm.

Inside the Council Hall.

The originally quiet hall was filled today with many elderly men who possessed an immortal and sage-like demeanor.

As well as several graceful and charming Fairies.

They were all Taixuan Elder of the Taixuan Holy Land.

At this time, the central chair in the Council Hall remained empty.

A group of maids dressed in green held jade trays, serving fine spiritual tea and various spiritual fruits to each Elder.

As the Elders gradually arrived, the scene immediately became lively.

Sitting at the leftmost position was Taixuan Elder Liu Chengfeng.

At this moment, he looked at the other Elders with a beaming smile.

“Elder Liu, what has made you so happy?”

Quenching Fire, a sturdy old man in red robes, looked at Liu Chengfeng and spoke with some confusion.

Normally, Liu Chengfeng was quite serious.

Why was he acting so exceptionally happy today?

Could it be that Liu Chengfeng had achieved a Breakthrough to the Tribulation Crossing Realm?

But upon closer inspection, he hadn't.

“How can I not be happy?

Our Holy Land has reached many collaborations with numerous major forces in the Central Domain.

We have also acquired many new Spiritual Veins and Secret Realms.

We've struck it rich this time!”

“There's such a good thing?

What's the situation?”

A look of shock appeared on Quenching Fire's face.

He had been in seclusion recently, and as soon as he emerged, he heard that the Holy Master had summoned all the Elders.

He had come directly here, having no idea what had happened.

Perfected Lei Ying's beautiful eyes moved slightly. She lifted the jade cup from the side table, tasted the spiritual tea, pursed her thin lips, and said unhurriedly:

“It is likely because of our Saint, Su Yun!

He truly is the young man who stole my little Disciple's heart!

It is said that he saved the younger generation Disciples of various major forces within the Mysterious Fruit Forest.”

“So that's how it is!

No wonder our Holy Land would obtain so many collaboration opportunities.

Su Yun did a great job this time!”

“Indeed, he is worthy of being Yuyao's Dao Companion; he's truly impressive!”

Venerable Yuling was also somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

However, she was still happy for her Disciple, An Yuyao.

The other Elders also discussed excitedly.

By collaborating with other major forces, not only would their Taixuan Holy Land become stronger,

but there might also be enough resources to renovate the various old cultivation facilities within the Holy Land.

“By the way, what did the Holy Master want us to come here to discuss?”

“Could it be related to Su Yun?”

“Could it be about how to reward Su Yun?

But that wouldn't require all of us Elders to come for a meeting, would it?”

“Exactly, the Holy Master could just decide on such a matter himself!”

“Elder Liu, do you know the reason?”

The Elders all turned their gazes toward Liu Chengfeng.

However, Liu Chengfeng was smiling and did not explain directly. Instead, he gently waved his hand:

“Elders, do not be anxious. Once the Holy Master arrives,

you will know.”

This was a major matter concerning the entire Taixuan Holy Land.

Therefore, it was indeed necessary to gather all the Elders to discuss it together.

Just as the Elders were feeling puzzled, a breeze suddenly blew through the Council Hall.

Immediately after, accompanied by a faint ripple of Law, an elegant middle-aged Cultivator in green robes instantly appeared on the central chair of the Council Hall.

The Elders in the Council Hall then reacted, standing up one after another to cup their hands in respect, saying respectfully:

“Welcome, Holy Master!”

True Person Taixuan waved his hand with a beaming smile and looked at the group of Elders:

“All of you, please sit!

Well?

Are all the Elders here?”

Hearing this, the Elders took their seats. They then looked around and quickly realized one person was missing.

“Elder Meng has not arrived yet.”

“Is it only Elder Meng who hasn't come?

Then it doesn't matter!”

True Person Taixuan said nonchalantly.

“She's likely busy, and she probably won't have any objections.

After all, this is something beneficial to her Disciple.”

At this point, the impatient Quenching Fire asked directly:

“Holy Master, what exactly is the matter you summoned all of us Elders to discuss?

Does it have to do with Su Yun?”

“You are right, it is indeed related to Su Yun.”

“What is it?

That requires so many of us Elders to discuss it together?”

Facing the confusion of the many Elders, True Person Taixuan smiled slightly and spoke in a gentle tone:

“I intend to pass the throne to our Saint, Su Yun, ahead of schedule.”

After he finished speaking, the Elders' eyes widened in shock.

The Holy Master wants to pass the throne?

Doesn't that mean Su Yun would succeed to the position of Taixuan Holy Master right now?

Thinking of this, many Elders reacted as if a pot had exploded, hurriedly trying to dissuade him:

“Holy Master, please reconsider!

Su Yun is still young; he hasn't been the Saint for very long!

Moreover, he is only at the Body Dao Integration Realm.

How can he take on such a great responsibility!”

“Indeed, every Taixuan Holy Master has succeeded to the throne after reaching the Enlightenment Realm!

Just as other Disciples become Elders after breaking through to the Enlightenment Realm!

Now that Su Yun is already at the Body Dao Integration Realm, with his talent, he will likely break through to the Enlightenment Realm in less than a hundred years.

It wouldn't be too late for the Holy Master to pass the throne then!”

“Yes, I also feel this is somewhat unreasonable.”

...Most of the Elders shook their heads, disagreeing with passing the throne to Su Yun now.

Only a few Elders, including Elder Liu, felt this decision was very reasonable.

These few Elders had just returned from the outside and had heard about the formidable strength Su Yun displayed in the Mysterious Fruit Forest.

“Quiet, Elders, I have a reason for doing this!

I am already preparing to go into seclusion to break through to the Mahayana Realm.

Therefore, it is no longer suitable for me to continue as the Taixuan Holy Master.”

True Person Taixuan spoke loudly, interrupting the Elders' discussion.

Thousands of years!

A full several thousand years had passed!

Other Holy Lands had changed their Holy Masters several times.

But he was still the Taixuan Holy Master!

He had long wanted to find a successor and then go into seclusion to break through to the Mahayana Realm.

But every time a Taixuan Saint was chosen, they either lacked talent or perished prematurely.

Not a single one was able to rise to the Enlightenment Realm.

And Su Yun, the Taixuan Saint chosen in this generation, was the one he valued most.

If Su Yun weren't True Person Liuguang's Disciple,

he would have wanted to take him as his own Disciple.

He had thought it would take several decades for Su Yun to grow up.

But who would have thought, how long has Su Yun been the Taixuan Saint?

He already possessed the strength of the Tribulation Crossing Realm!

After Elder Liu told him about what happened in the Mysterious Fruit Forest,

he didn't believe it at first.

But after Elder Liu produced a Recording Jade Slip, he had no choice but to believe it.

That day in the Mysterious Fruit Forest, one of the Taixuan Disciples happened to record the entire process of Su Yun's battle against the tree demon.

He had confirmed that the Recording Jade Slip was not a forgery.

In other words, Su Yun's strength really was that formidable!

Since that was the case, there was no need to hesitate.

He immediately decided to pass the throne early.

Although the cultivation Realm was still a bit lacking, his strength was already sufficient.

Furthermore, it far exceeded the strength of previous Taixuan Saints at the time of their succession.

Therefore, no one could stop him from passing the throne!

He couldn't stand being the Taixuan Holy Master for even another moment.
