415: I can hit 4,000 of these.

Don't tell me that the Holy Master will run away before he even warms up his Holy Master position!

The lesson of the past is right before our eyes. Holy Son Zhao Yujing just returned from running away. Everything is fresh. Who can pretend not to see it?

The Holy Master position is not comparable to the Holy Son.

Although the Holy Son holds authority equivalent to half of a Holy Master, as long as the Holy Master has not left, everything is handled by the Holy Master. Externally, he suppresses foreign races and deters the universe starry sky. Internally, he needs to allocate cultivation resources for various lineages, as well as dispatch strong individuals within the sect, and many other matters.

If someone like Zhao Yujing, who doesn't care about anything, takes the position, it might be alright for a day or two, but over time, chaos will inevitably arise.

Moreover, this chaos will most likely originate from within the Dongxu Immortal Mansion.

This is the point that most Elders and Protectors oppose the most.

In short, Holy Son Zhao Yujing can succeed to the Holy Master position, but not now. It's not too much to say that he needs to accumulate for ten thousand years.

"The Holy Son resigns and abdicates. All Disciples will compete for the Holy Son position fairly!" Some True Disciples of the Dongxu Immortal Mansion also had their eyes light up, and they were astonishingly bright.

"We have waited for this day for too, too long!"

"I heard that the Holy Son intends to yield his position to Lu Chen, who is renowned throughout the Starry Sky!"

"The Holy Son position is open to all under the Dongxu Immortal Mansion. It's not something that's yielded, but something that's fought for with fists!"

"No, that Lu Chen has cultivated the 37 Dharma Forms. Before entering the Tongtian Realm, he has already killed three Tongtian Realm Heavenly Pride from the Demon Clan who were listed on the Heaven's Pride Rankings. Before entering the Ascension Realm, who can compete with him?"

"The Heaven's Pride Rankings cannot represent everything. There is an age limit of three thousand years. Like Dragon First Tribulation, Dragon Sky Achieve, and Dragon Barbarian Blood, whom that Lu Chen killed, although they were on the Heaven's Pride Rankings, they had not reached Great Completion in the Tongtian Realm. Although I was not on the Heaven's Pride Rankings back then, I also cultivated the Nine Dharma Aspects when I was over four thousand years old. Now I am also at the Great Perfection of the Tongtian Realm, and Ascension Realm is right before my eyes. How can that Lu Chen, who is only at the Dharma Idol Realm, compete with me?" A True Disciple who looked middle-aged boasted.

In fact, this person's aura was indeed astonishing. He wore a white robe, had a fair face and no beard, and his eyes shone with divine light, shooting straight into the firmament, as if an Ascension Realm existence was standing there.

From afar, people from the Dongxu Immortal Mansion were startled when they saw him: "Lingxu Valley, is he going to compete for the Holy Son position!"

"He's almost nine thousand years old, and he's still snatching the Holy Son position?"

"Why not? The Tongtian Realm has a Lifespan of ten thousand years, and with Lifespan-extending treasures, living over fifteen thousand years is not a problem. Moreover, with his Tongtian Realm achieved through Nine Dharma Aspects, there is also a great hope of entering the Ascension Realm. Once he enters the Ascension Realm, his Lifespan will be thirty thousand years. Nine thousand years compared to thirty thousand years is still just his youth!"

"In that case, Shang Tianqi will probably also compete. He deliberately delayed until he was five thousand years old to cultivate the Nine Dharma Aspects, but after entering the Tongtian Realm, his cultivation became more and more courageous and diligent. Now, at less than eight thousand years old, he has already stepped halfway into the Ascension Realm."

"Not only that, there is also Ji Qianqiu from the Qingming lineage. He has also cultivated the Nine Dharma Aspects, and he even briefly appeared on the Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking back then. He is still less than four thousand years old, much younger than these two Senior apprentice-brothers."

"Lingxu Valley, Shang Tianqi, Ji Qianqiu, and there is also a 'Nangong Yan' who is said to also aspire to the Holy Son position. This one is not inferior to the previous four in the slightest. He is also a Nine Dharma Aspects existence with hope of entering the Ascension Realm."

"So, the Holy Son position will likely be among these five people, plus Lu Chen, who cultivated the 37 Dharma Forms and shook the Starry Sky."

"If you ask me, giving the Holy Son position to Lu Chen is the right thing to do. I heard that this person has unparalleled talent throughout history. He cultivated for less than four years and has already achieved the 37 Dharma Forms, which is rare since ancient times and is number one in the current era. Even Ancient Chaoyang, who is ranked first on the Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking of the Ancient Clan, is far inferior. He is still less than twenty years old. You tell me, what are these True Disciples who have cultivated for eight or nine thousand years competing for the Holy Son position with Lu Chen!"

"Exactly. Nine thousand years old, of course, is nothing for an Ascension Realm existence, but for a Mortal, even if they live a hundred years, they would have to live ninety lifetimes to compare. At this age, you can compete for the Holy Master position, but you are competing for a Holy Son position..."

"The Holy Son position naturally has its benefits. Do you think they only care about the seat?"

"If they can take the Holy Son position, these few True apprentice-brothers might all be able to break into the Ascension Realm in a short time. You tell me, if it were you, would you compete or not?"

The young Disciples discussed animatedly.

Qingming lineage.

A young man with a tall and straight figure and extraordinary demeanor sat opposite Lu Chen. He had a free and easy and elegant temperament. He picked up a wine pot and filled Lu Chen's cup: "Junior Brother Lu doesn't drink?"

Lu Chen picked up the wine cup and smelled it under his nose. He only felt an exotic fragrance assailing his nostrils, as if a clear qi directly rushed to his heavenly spirit. His whole person instantly became several times more energetic. He immediately praised: "Good wine."

In his previous life on Blue Star, he also drank, both beer and spirits, but his alcohol tolerance was average, so he couldn't tell good wine from bad.

But this is not the mundane world, but the cultivation world. Whether the wine is good or bad, you can tell with a single sniff.

Just like the wine in Lu Chen's cup at this moment, it was brewed with heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and the brewing method must have been extremely skillful. How could it not be good?

He took a sip and then slowly said: "Senior Brother Ji doesn't know, I have not been cultivating for long. The reason I can have such a Realm today is entirely due to arduous cultivation. I have no leisure to taste wine."

Senior Brother Ji, naturally, is the most outstanding Heavenly Pride of the Qingming lineage, Ji Qianqiu.

This Senior apprentice-brother gave Lu Chen a very good feeling. Being with him felt like a spring breeze. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be quite popular with female cultivators.

However, Lu Chen did not pry into these personal matters, as it would be impolite.

"I also cultivated in Qingming, so I know the hardships. It is truly incredible that Junior Brother Lu can achieve such astonishing accomplishments before even entering the Dongxu Immortal Mansion," Ji Qianqiu praised generously.

What's even more rare is that Lu Chen can achieve such accomplishments that shake the entire universe starry sky at such a young age, yet still be approachable and neither arrogant nor impatient. This is even rarer.

Reasonably speaking, with Lu Chen's accomplishments, if it were someone else, they would probably look down on everyone, and even a Fallen Immortal would get a slap from him.

This is not an exaggeration, but Lu Chen's accomplishment of the 37 Dharma Forms truly gives him this qualification.

Looking at the entire Dongxu Immortal Mansion, one by one, in front of Lu Chen, none of them have the qualification to call themselves Senior.

He has surpassed all Seniors, and even all the Heavenly Pride in the entire universe starry sky. He is the undisputed, top-tier, peerless Heavenly Pride standing in the universe starry sky, without equal.

When Ji Qianqiu had not met Lu Chen, he was afraid of being outdone in front of Lu Chen. However, after actually meeting Lu Chen, he realized that Lu Chen was unexpectedly easy to get along with. It was rare, truly rare.

But even though it was rare, Ji Qianqiu still came: "I came to apologize to Junior Brother, so I brought this humble wine."

Lu Chen smiled and said: "The wine is excellent wine. I know why Senior apprentice-brother came. Why talk about apologizing?"

He paused: "The Holy Son position has its benefits. Senior apprentice-brother wants it, and I also want it. Then, let's have a fair fight."

He silently said sorry in his heart, because he could beat four thousand people like Ji Qianqiu, no less.
