Even if so many Immortal Sects oppose it together, it is futile.
If they continue to make a fuss, there’s only one outcome: they will anger the Grand Preceptor and then suffer his punishment.
Over the years, has there been any sect that questioned or opposed the Grand Preceptor and ended up with a good outcome?
The Grand Preceptor, after all, is the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty’s top expert, the number one expert far surpassed by no one else.
While everyone was troubled,
the messenger spoke up again, “However, after hearing about this matter, His Majesty felt that appointing the State Preceptor directly would not be appropriate.
Therefore, His Majesty suggested that all the great Immortal Sects should be involved.
Ultimately, the Grand Preceptor proposed holding a Great Martial Contest of Immortals, and the one who ranks first will become the State Preceptor of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
Besides, those who rank second to eleventh will be bestowed as the ten Grand Immortal Generals of the dynasty.
However, only those below the Earth Immortal Realm may participate; those above are not permitted.”
“All great Immortal Sects participating in the contest?”
“Not allowing Earth Immortals to participate is clearly because of the approaching Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth.
In fact, even if Earth Immortals were allowed to participate, I fear no one would.”
“As long as it’s a martial contest, it’s fair after all.”
“Gentlemen, I must take my leave first as I now need to inform our sect.”
“Actually, there’s no need for us to inform them.
The Grand Preceptor will notify our sects.”
That very day, the news of the Great Martial Contest of Immortals soon spread throughout the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
And the contest was set to begin a month from then.
After all, the territory of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty is vast, and it takes time for people from each sect to arrive.
Hundred Peaks Sect, Divine Occurrence Sect, Four Extremes Sect…
All the top ten Immortal Sects of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, as well as other sufficiently strong sects, quickly gathered their talented disciples below the Earth Immortal Realm.
They did not want their disciples to enter into official positions within the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty. Thɪs chapter is updated by Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
But this time, the position in question was that of the State Preceptor!
Actually, under normal circumstances, with a Grand Preceptor in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, there was no need to appoint another State Preceptor.
But now, since the appointment of a State Preceptor was proposed by the Grand Preceptor himself, they could not miss this opportunity.
If a disciple from their sect became the State Preceptor of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, it would be all benefits and no harm.
Moreover, at such a grand event, where people from all the great Immortal Sects would participate, only the first could become State Preceptor.
By becoming the State Preceptor, it would prove that one has indeed prevailed over the other Immortal Sects.
This first place, naturally, had to be contended for.
As for the rewards of such a grand event, they were secondary.
Not only the top ten Immortal Sects, but all the various factions within the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty also received the news and began to mobilize.
Compared to heritage and senior experts, they could not match the top ten Immortal Sects.
But this time, since only experts below the Earth Immortal Realm were participating, their sects also had talented individuals, ones who were not necessarily inferior to the disciples of the top ten Immortal Sects.
If they ultimately secured first place, their sect would instantly become the most eye-catching existence in the Immortal Cultivation world of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
With the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth approaching, it would be beneficial to let others recognize their strength and avoid many troubles.
Even if they couldn’t contend for first place, they could still compete for the top ten, excluding the first place.
Even if they couldn’t make it into the top ten, just securing a good ranking would tremendously enhance their reputation.
Countless minor sects and even Loose Cultivators were now rushing towards the Capital City.
Even if they could not achieve a high ranking, it was still an opportunity to spar with members of the top ten Immortal Sects—something they didn’t get to experience in their everyday lives.
Thus, they could also witness the strength and versatility of the top ten Immortal Sects’ Divine Skills.
Further, watching others battle was an accumulation of experience in itself, which was beneficial for their own cultivation.
For a time, all the Cultivators below Golden Core within the entire Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty started to take action.
In the Hundred Peaks Sect, Bai Fengzi once again summoned the ninety-six Peak Masters, excluding Cao Zhen, Lan Pili, and two other Peak Masters who were away.
But this time, the place she called for the Peak Masters was in her own Cave Mansion.
With the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth drawing nearer, she feared the Heavenly Dao would detect her existence, and now she dared not casually leave her Cave Mansion.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I presume you’re already aware of the news.
My intention for this contest for the position of State Preceptor is not only about securing the title; it’s about showing face to the outside world, flaunting our skills.
Therefore, I hope that the experts below the Earth Immortal Realm in your respective peaks will participate as much as possible.
Of course, if there are genius disciples below Golden Core with relatively lower cultivation, but sufficient talent, esteemed Peak Masters can certainly bring them along as well.
Even if they do not participate in the Great Martial Contest of Immortals, they can also watch the contest, as such an event is rare.
Strictly by observing, it would also greatly benefit them.
Ladies and gentlemen, please start preparing as soon as possible.
We at the Hundred Peaks Sect will set out together in three days.
This time, I will have True Person Lu of the Hidden Dragon Observatory lead the team, along with Elders Gu Chengyu and Ai Yunqi.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
This time, it was the Sect Leader True Person’s intention for all the genius disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect to head out together.
This would surely necessitate sending skilled Elders to lead the team.
However, because of the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, the strongest experts within the sect were not suited to venture out.
