Seeing Ning Shi remain silent, Tong Baiming continued, “If you want to completely control the Hermit Pavilion, perhaps only those who have reached the Celestial Realm can do it.
“The first rule of the Celestial Sect’s membership is ��Those who break through the Great Grandmaster’s imprisonment and become a Celestial can unconditionally control the entire Celestial Sect, and all members will obey.’ However, Celestials are only legends. In the past ten thousand years, no Celestials have appeared.
“In the absence of angels, the Celestial Sect has always operated in a way of checks and balances. The change of the person in charge every five years is the result of checks and balances.
“Not just anyone can be the person in charge. One had to meet three conditions to be qualified to run.
“Firstly, they have to be under 30 years old, secondly, their strength has to be at least at the Master Realm, and finally, they have to be recommended by an elder. There are not many people who meet these conditions.
“Therefore, every election for the position of the person in charge is an internal struggle between the three strongest sects on origin planet. Only they have the resources and strength to nurture such a genius.”
“Which three sects?” asked Ning Shi.
“Three Fist Gate, Seven Stars Sword Pavilion, and Jinhua Gang. These three gangs have been around for more than three thousand years, and their members have always maintained a certain scale. Even in the Norse Republic, they have a relatively large influence and are inextricably linked to the nobles and the Norse Republic.”
Hearing Tong Baiming’s description, Ning Shi recalled that when he saved Nico, he had killed a few traditional fighter experts. They seemed to be from Three Fist Gate.
The noble forces led by the Marquis of Blackbox were willing to hand over such an important matter as kidnapping Nico to the Three Fist Gate. This meant that the reputation and strength of the Three Fist Gate were definitely not bad.
Ning Shi was still very interested in the position of the person in charge of the Celestial Sect. Ever since he controlled the 21 scums of the school committee, Ning Shi realized that traditional fighters had their own advantages.
Especially on the current origin planet, traditional fighters were still very useful.
If he could control the Celestial Sect, especially the reclusive big shots in the Hermit Pavilion, Ning Shi would be able to implement his plan faster and secretly control the Norse Republic, and then the entire Norse Republic.
So he said, ‘Mr. Tong, I like the surprise you gave me. I’m determined to get the position of the person in charge. Please recommend me.
“However, I’m very curious. You walked the path of biochemical transformation, so how did you become an elder of the Celestial Sect?’
Tong Baiming adjusted his glasses and said proudly, “Although my body is modified, my physique has already reached the Grandmaster Realm of traditional fighters. My ability is mainly close combat, so there’s not much difference between me and traditional fighters.
“Putting aside the prejudice against the modified human, the biochemical modification technique is essentially no different from the cultivation method of traditional fighters. They are both methods to strengthen the human body.
“Because the traditional fighters are not afraid of the corrosion of radiation elements, these traditional fighters have always been in contact with Yuan City. We have a lot of trade between us. The Celestial Sect and the immune people have always been good partners.
“That’s why the Celestial Sect gave me the position of honorary elder.”
“l see. Thank you for your recommendation, Mr. Tong!” Ning Shi nodded and said.
“If you don’t have anything particularly important to do, you can stay in Norse City for a week. I still need you to oversee the implementation of some details of the cooperation.
“A week later, we’ll board the academy’s warship and go to New Star City to participate in the Celestial Sect’s person-in-charge election.”
Tong Baiming did not reject Ning Shi’s arrangement. After the two of them chatted for a while, Tong Baiming left..
