237: Chapter 237 Public Announcement

The voice of Daoist Master Cangxuan, coupled with that terrifying Aura of the Peak Unity Realm, exploded in everyone's ears like thunder from the Nine Heavens.

The entire city fell silent at that moment.

Everyone's gaze converged on that figure standing with hands behind his back.

One must know that a Peak Unity Realm existence, no matter where they are placed, is a lofty being.

When the Domain Realm does not appear, the Unity Realm is the strongest on the surface, the small group of people standing at the top of the pyramid.

And now, such a big shot actually appeared at the recruitment site of the Tianyuan Sect and even said he wanted to apply for the position of an Inner Elder?

This shocked everyone around into stupidity.

"Peak Unity Realm... Did I see that right?"

"Good heavens, I've lived for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen a living Peak Unity Realm expert!"

"This Aura is too terrifying; my legs have gone soft..."

"Do you think this Senior walked onto the wrong set? Does a big shot like him need to wait in line here like us?"

"Who knows? Maybe he's just experiencing life..."

Those young Cultivators waiting in line to register were pale, their legs weak, and some even collapsed directly onto the ground.

Just a moment ago, they were secretly competing over whose talent was higher and whose Cultivation was stronger.

Now they realized that in front of a true powerhouse, they really didn't even count as ants.

Even those few Unity Realm assessment Elders were stunned on the spot, looking at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The highest Cultivation among the few Elders was only the Late Stage of the Unity Realm; in front of Daoist Master Cangxuan, they were like fireflies facing the bright moon, simply not on the same level.

They had been looking at every registrant with the eyes of someone inspecting cabbages, but now they realized that the one in front of them was not a cabbage, but a towering tree, an existence they needed to look up to.

"This... this Senior..." The Elder who was responsible for registration spoke with difficulty, his voice trembling.

"Do... do you really want to apply to be an Inner Elder of our Tianyuan Sect?"

Daoist Master Cangxuan glanced at him, his gaze as calm as water, yet it made the Elder feel as if needles were pricking his back.

"Why? Is that not allowed?"

"Yes! Yes! Of course it is!" Upon hearing Daoist Master Cangxuan's words, the Elder nodded repeatedly, his head bobbing like a chick pecking at rice.

"With a Cultivation like yours, Senior, you can be directly promoted to Inner Elder; there's no need for an assessment at all. We will process it for you right now..."

"No need." Daoist Master Cangxuan waved his hand, interrupting him.

"This seat is a person who follows the rules. Just follow the procedure; there is no need to pull strings for this seat!"

Although his words sounded high and mighty, he was actually thinking in his heart.

"I'm just being polite to you all, don't you dare take it seriously."

"I am a dignified Domain Realm Late Stage powerhouse. If it weren't for fear of being too conspicuous—a tall tree attracts the wind—why would I waste time here with a bunch of juniors?"

"You'd better hurry up and get it done for me. If you really make me take an assessment, just wait and see how I deal with you all later!!"

Yet, Daoist Master Cangxuan's righteous words deeply shocked the few Unity Realm assessment Elders, and expressions of admiration appeared in their eyes.

"Senior is truly righteous!"

"Senior is too humble!"

"To be so polite even with such Cultivation, you are truly a model for us all..."

For a time, the sound of flattery rose and fell all around; it was quite the lively scene.

And at this moment, the commotion in the crowd grew larger and larger, and the news spread like it had grown wings...

"Have you heard? A big shot in the Peak Unity Realm went to the Tianyuan Sect to apply for an Inner Elder position!"

"What? Peak Unity Realm? Does such a big shot still need to apply to be an Elder?"

"Who knows! Isn't it better to be free and unfettered? Why join a faction and tie one's own hands?"

"A Peak Unity Realm big shot, I really regret not going to take a look..."

The news naturally reached the Tianyuan Sect as well, and reached the ears of the Sect Master who was in seclusion to Cultivate.

The Tianyuan Sect Sect Master—Liu Yuanzong. A super powerhouse at the Domain Realm Late Stage, he was currently sitting cross-legged in a secret room Cultivating.

After hearing this news, he suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of sharp light passing through them.

"Peak Unity Realm? A Loose Cultivator?"

"Interesting, this is the first time such a situation has occurred!"

He pondered for a moment, then stood up.

"Interesting, this seat will go take a look personally."

As the words fell, his figure had already disappeared from the secret room.

The next moment, in front of the Tianyuan Sect mountain gate, a crack suddenly split open in the Void Realm.

A figure walked out from the crack, wearing a white robe, with a refined face and an ethereal temperament, his whole body exuding an otherworldly Aura. It was none other than the Tianyuan Sect Sect Master—Liu Yuanzong.

The moment Liu Yuanzong appeared, the entire scene fell into dead silence once again.

Everyone could feel that terrifying pressure—Domain Realm Late Stage! It was one full Realm higher than the Cultivation Daoist Master Cangxuan was currently releasing!

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

Those few assessment Elders hurriedly bowed and saluted, their voices respectful to the extreme.

Liu Yuanzong waved his hand, but his gaze fell upon Daoist Master Cangxuan.

A flash of surprise passed through his eyes as he sized up this strange Loose Cultivator. He was indeed at the Peak Unity Realm. Moreover, his Qi was profound, and his Foundation was solid.

But what concerned him more was—he always felt that this person in front of him had an indescribable temperament, a kind of pressure from the depths of the Soul that only a Domain Realm powerhouse could feel.

Strange. What is going on? How could he have this feeling? The other party was clearly just a Unity Realm ant; how could he make him feel this way?

Liu Yuanzong kept muttering to himself in his heart, but his face remained calm.

"I am the Sect Master of the Tianyuan Sect, Liu Yuanzong. May I ask for your name, Fellow Daoist?"

Upon hearing this, Daoist Master Cangxuan simply cupped his hands and said with a look of disdain.

"Cangxuan, a Loose Cultivator."

His voice was as calm as water, neither humble nor pushy. Facing a powerhouse at the Domain Realm Late Stage, he showed not the slightest fear, but instead had a faintly condescending air.

Liu Yuanzong was even more puzzled in his heart. This person's demeanor did not seem like an ordinary Unity Realm Loose Cultivator, but rather like a Domain Realm big shot who had long held a high position. But since the other party didn't want to say, he couldn't press the matter.

"It is the honor of the Tianyuan Sect that you, Fellow Daoist, have come to apply for an Elder position. You are certainly qualified for the position of Inner Elder, Fellow Daoist."

Daoist Master Cangxuan nodded.

"Many thanks." Just two words, crisp and clean, without any hesitation.

Liu Yuanzong smiled, then turned to look at everyone present.

"Everyone, from today on, this Sect Master announces that Fellow Daoist Cangxuan is now an Inner Elder of our Tianyuan Sect."

His voice was not loud, yet it clearly entered the ears of everyone present.

As the words fell, the whole scene boiled over again.

Those few assessment Elders were the first to react, all bowing and saluting in unison.

"Greetings, Elder Cangxuan!"

"Greetings, Elder Cangxuan!"

Their voices were uniform, respectful to the extreme.

Only then did those young Cultivators waiting in line to register react one after another.

"We pay our respects to Elder Cangxuan!"

"We pay our respects to Elder Cangxuan!"

For a time, congratulations rose and fell, resounding through the sky.

Daoist Master Cangxuan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze calmly sweeping over the crowd. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

This feeling. It feels fucking great!
