"Since we're contending for the True Successor Position, these Golden Core cultivators will ultimately be our opponents. Why must True Monarch Mu apologize?"
After a brief pause, Lu Yan asked with a hint of curiosity:
"However, I'm quite intrigued by the Supreme Profound Lineage. Could True Monarch Mu enlighten me?"
Upon hearing this, He Dongsheng quickly nodded, looking full of anticipation.
Mu Chunqiu rolled his eyes at He Dongsheng, then lightly shook his head and said:
"In fact, it's not really a secret. Since you're interested, there's no harm in telling you."
"The thirteen main vessels of the Taiyi Sect each have profound foundations and a long history. No other sect in the world can maintain such prosperity.
My Four Seasons Lineage has always followed ancient teachings, choosing disciples based on fortuitous chances, often passing down through a single successor each generation. This has led to our lineage nearly severing its tradition multiple times throughout history.
By the time of my grandmaster, even though the Four Seasons Lineage held the status of one of the thirteen main vessels, my grandmaster was merely a Golden Core cultivator and couldn't even enter or exit the Taiyi Cave Heaven.
The decline of the Four Seasons Lineage naturally attracted covetous eyes from all directions, and the Supreme Profound Lineage, as one of the thirteen main vessels, was among them."
"The Supreme Profound Lineage, located in the Eastern Land, abandoned the ancient teaching of choosing disciples based on fortune. Each generation, they would recruit two or three prodigious disciples and then choose one to inherit the main lineage, dispersing the tradition among the others.
After thousands of years of accumulation, they established the Supreme Profound Mountain in the Eastern Land. Within the mountain, there are dozens of traditions, all originating from the Supreme Profound Lineage.
With so many traditions, the resources required are naturally substantial, so the Supreme Profound Lineage set their sights on the already declining Four Seasons Lineage.
My grandmaster, master, and even I before the age of seventy all resided in the Supreme Profound Mountain, with the main resources being controlled by the Supreme Profound Lineage.
It wasn't until I secretly advanced to the Nascent Soul, reclaimed the Four Seasons Order, and became one of the thirteen Vessel Leaders that I could leave the Supreme Profound Mountain. Qin Zhongzheng was the True Monarch responsible for managing my Four Seasons Lineage."
Lu Yan's face showed a look of amazement.
Mu Chunqiu spoke lightly, but in reality, it was the Supreme Profound Lineage effectively keeping the Four Seasons Lineage captive.
If not for Mu Chunqiu's extraordinary talent, he would likely have faced the same fate as his master and grandmaster, continuing to be held by the Supreme Profound Lineage.
The years of exploitation by the Supreme Profound Lineage caused Qin Zhongzheng to fail to change his mindset, instinctively believing Mu Chunqiu to still be the puppet he could manipulate as he wished.
Little did he know that after the grand event of Spiritual Energy Revival, Mu Chunqiu had already ascended to the peak of the Nascent Soul, touching upon the Divinity Transformation Realm, and was now entirely different from before.
With his status as a Vessel Leader, even if Mu Chunqiu attempted to kill Qin Zhongzheng, the Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarchs of the Supreme Profound Lineage could only try to mediate, unable to act against Mu Chunqiu.
On the side, He Dongsheng didn't think that far ahead. Hearing the history of the Four Seasons Lineage's captivity, he was so angered that it made his teeth itch. Follow current novels on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩
"The Supreme Profound Lineage is truly detestable! If I ever reach the Divinity Transformation Realm, I will definitely teach them a lesson!"
Mu Chunqiu nodded approvingly.
"You don't need to wait until you break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm. The Supreme Profound Lineage only has two Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarchs. Once I take the final step, I will personally go to the Supreme Profound Lineage to hold them accountable."
"For now, let's just let them be rampant for a little while longer."
At this moment, Lu Yan suddenly spoke:
"No need to wait that long."
Seeing the two's gazes converge on him, Lu Yan smiled confidently:
"Since it's about accountability, let's start with the True Transmission Convention.
If the Supreme Profound Lineage is so confident about contending for the true succession at the convention, let's simply eliminate their disciples first."
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was time for the True Transmission Convention to begin.
On this day, the Immortal Islands floating above the sea of clouds started to converge rhythmically. One by one, the islands collided with each other, creating massive roars, and then fused into a small continent.
Lu Yan, Mu Chunqiu, and several others walked out of the Cultivation Room, and the sky outside was already filled with imposing figures.
Other than those participating in the True Transmission Convention, the weakest among the rest were Nascent Soul True Monarchs from each branch lineage.
And at the very top of the sky, thirty-six gigantic stars replaced the myriad stars, overlooking the land from above the sky.
These stars displayed two extremes; the smallest exuded merely the aura of a Golden Core Peak, their starlight flickering uncertainly.
At the forefront, ten stars shone brilliantly like great suns, projecting towering figures sitting cross-legged on meditation mats.
The thirty-six Taiyi True Inheritors!
When the thirty-six Taiyi True Inheritors appeared in the cave-heaven world, Lu Yan realized that when Mu Chunqiu spoke of the thirteen main vessels and thirty-six true successors jointly controlling the Taiyi Sect, it was no exaggeration.
Especially the ten stars at the front that shone like great suns; their aura was even stronger than the Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarchs of the Supreme Profound Lineage that Lu Yan had seen. Lu Yan suspected the top ten true successors might far exceed the simple level of Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarchs.
But at the pinnacle of the thirty-six true successors, there was no towering figure visible.
Lu Yan saw only an empty meditation mat. The aura emanating from the seemingly dilapidated mat woven from straw was in no way inferior to the other nine true successors.
"The first True Inheritor of the Taiyi Sect!"
Lu Yan couldn't help but whisper softly.
During these two days, Mu Chunqiu had explained many details about the True Transmission Convention to Lu Yan, including information about the main and branch lineages of the Taiyi Sect, as well as the critically important thirty-six true successors.
Even regarding this first True Inheritor of the Taiyi Sect, Mu Chunqiu knew very little, and no one knew which school or faction the first True Inheritor belonged to.
