Chapter 521 New Four Gods
Chapter 521 The New Four Gods Religion
Since the founding of the Wendao Sect, there has never been a precedent of someone in his thirties taking up the position of grand elder.
What's more, Zhaixingzi is only twenty-four or twenty-five years old, and there is still several years before he reaches the age of thirty.
So although everyone felt that it was a bit frivolous and hasty to let Zhaixingzi be the grand elder of the Dao Sect, no one could express any objection.
After all, since the founding of the Wendao Sect, there has been no precedent of a person in the Nascent Soul stage becoming the sect leader. Didn’t the old man from the Tang family also become the sect leader of the Wendao Sect?
On the contrary, it was Zhaixingzi, who was now the strongest person in the sect. His qualifications might not be enough, but in terms of strength, he was enough to be the sect leader.
Giving him the position of a great elder seemed to mean nothing.
"I now worship Zhuang Sheng, a disciple of the Daoist Sect, as the Grand Elder. From now on, you will assist the Sect Master and be in charge of the various departments of the Sect. Together with the elders of each department, you will work together to develop the Sect. You must not bully the weak. You must not forget your ancestors—"
Sect Leader Tang was talking incessantly in front of the statue of the ancestor, but many people's attention was on Zhaixingzi.
Mei Xiangu sent a message to Tian Lin, saying, "The Great Elder suddenly wanted to give up his position, and judging from the expressions of Zhaixingzi and the others, it was obvious that he had expected this. From this, it can be seen that Zhaixingzi, the Great Elder, and the Tang Family Patriarch had a private meeting before this meeting.
It’s just that the idea of letting Zhaixingzi be the chief elder, I don’t know who planned it.”
Although Tian Lin didn't care much about this meeting, he was not as presumptuous as Mei Xiangu.
He did not answer Mei Xiangu, but glanced at Zhaixingzi again.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he observed, he could not detect the existence of the real dragon cub.
I don’t know whether the real dragon cub was raised in the house by Zhaixingzi. Anyway, no real dragon cub has been seen from the beginning to now.
As if noticing Tian Lin's gaze, Zhaixingzi turned his head to look at Tian Lin with a kind smile.
After Tian Lin returned Zhai Xingzi's smile, he stopped looking at Zhai Xingzi and turned his attention back to Sect Master Tang.
After offering incense, Sect Master Tang took the Elder Order from the original Great Elder and handed it to Zhai Xingzi:
"Zhaixingzi, now that you have this token, you must put the sect first in everything you do. You must not abuse your power for personal gain or be nepotistic."
Zhai Xingzi took over the token very readily. He played with it and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Sect Master. I won't have to worry about it."
Although there is no sunrise and sunset in the secret realm, this conference did take quite a while.
The event of the great elder giving up his position to Zhaixingzi happened very suddenly. Not only did many elders of the aristocratic families not receive the news in advance, but even many members of the Tang family and the Zhuang family did not know about it in advance.
At this moment, everyone actually wants to go back and figure out the situation first.
Sure enough, when the ceremony was over and Sect Leader Tang agreed to let everyone disperse, many people walked out without stopping.
But before these people could completely leave the gate, Zhaixingzi's voice rang out over there, "Everyone, wait a minute."
A group of people who had already stepped out of the threshold stopped and looked at Zhaixingzi.
Zhai Xingzi held the token in his hand and said with a smile: "I am a new elder, and I have a few words to talk to you all."
"What are your instructions, Great Elder?"
Someone walked back in from outside the hall, and it was hard to tell whether the tone of his voice was sarcastic or sincere.
Zhaixingzi ignored the tone of the visitor and glanced at the people in the hall with a gentle expression.
"Now the evil spirits are rampant, and the entire Northern Wilderness is suffering. I said that the reason why the Taoist Sect entered the secret realm is because the outside world is no longer suitable for human survival."
He said this first, and a member of the Tang family asked impatiently: "What exactly does the Great Elder want to say?" "What I want to say is that I know that the Dao Sect has moved into the secret realm. How will the ordinary cultivators and people in the Northern Wilderness survive?"
After these words came out, many people looked at Zhaixingzi in surprise. Even Tian Lin was a little surprised by Zhaixingzi's words.
"What the Great Elder said doesn't mean he wants us to return to the outside world and help those people drive away the locusts and eliminate the evil spirits, right?"
Seeing Zhaixingzi shaking his head, the man couldn't help but ask, "Since the Great Elder didn't mean this, then what does it mean?"
Zhaixingzi said, "What I mean is that from now on, the sect should send people to move the people of the Northern Wilderness to the secret realm to protect them from being harmed by locusts and evil spirits."
After he finished speaking, Elder Xue immediately stepped forward and said, "This plan is ridiculous! Although there are no locusts in the secret realm, it is not suitable for large-scale farming. Without an environment suitable for the growth of ordinary crops, how can we feed so many people? This is one reason.
Secondly, Great Elder, you said that you wanted to allow the people and independent cultivators from outside to enter the secret realm in order to protect them from the evil spirits from outside. Don’t you know that the evil spirits in this secret realm are far more serious than those outside? So, is this plan of the Great Elder to save people or to harm them?"
Everyone looked at Zhaixingzi, and he said, "I heard that there is a new religion in Nanzhou that is not only good at farming, but also allows closed places to enjoy the baptism of the sun, moon and stars.
Although there is no sun, moon or stars in the secret realm, the soil all over the ground is very suitable for plant growth. As long as we ask those talented people from the religion for help, food will definitely not be a problem. "
Elder Xue interrupted Zhaixingzi before he could finish and said, "The religion you are talking about is not called the New Four Gods Religion, right?"
When the new Four Gods Religion came out, many people turned their eyes to Tian Lin.
Zhaixingzi was traveling outside and didn't have a deep understanding of what had happened in the sect recently.
But other people who have been in the sect for a long time often heard about Tian Lin. These people knew that the New Four Gods Sect was related to Tian Lin.
"Why, could it be that Junior Brother Tian recognizes someone from the New Four Gods Sect?"
Zhaixingzi didn't understand what was going on, but when he realized that everyone was looking at Tian Lin, he also turned his gaze towards Tian Lin.
Tian Lin had no choice but to step forward and say:
"So that you can know that the New Four Gods Religion was founded by some independent cultivators in their spare time when I was helping the Goddess Sect. This religion is in its infancy and not only does it not have any powerful magical powers, but most of the leaders are cultivators at the Golden Core stage."
Zhaixingzi really didn't expect that Tian Lin would have such a connection with the New Four Gods Religion.
He laughed and said, "So Junior Brother Tian has such ability. I underestimated you. But as far as I know, this new Four Gods Sect is not full of Jindan cultivators as you said.
There are also about 10 to 20 Nascent Soul cultivators in the New Four Gods Sect, and it is now the largest sect in Southern Province."
When these words were spoken, Tian Lin was shocked, and Mei Xiangu on the other side did not believe it either.
Then Mei Xiangu questioned Zhai Xingzi:
"Nanzhou has always been the territory of the Goddess Sect. Now that the Grand Elder of the Goddess Sect is in Nanzhou, how could the New Four Gods Sect take charge?"
Zhaixingzi said, "Junior Sister Mei, if you don't believe me, you can ask Elder Mei when you have a chance. Oh, I forgot to mention that a small half of the new Four Gods Sect are concurrently served by the elders of the Goddess Sect."
Mei Xiangu was speechless for a moment, and Tian Lin also thought that Zhaixingzi's words were very funny.
When he left the Goddess Sect, many of his disciples did join the New Four Gods Sect.
But it would be fine if ordinary disciples had weak faith in Taoism, but how come even Nascent Soul powerhouses were tricked into joining the New Four Gods Sect?
