Only when Little Nine saw Feng Baiyu and Grandfather-master's excited expressions did she truly understand the importance of the Immortality Method to their Yuhua Sect.
"Little Nine, where did you learn this method?" Feng Baiyu immediately asked after he got over his excitement.
The previous sect leader also looked at Little Nine.
"A monk taught it to me when I was young. I have been cultivating it to improve my root bones," Little Nine lied without batting an eyelid. "Where is the monk now?" asked the previous sect leader immediately.
"I have no idea where he went. I have not seen him again ever since that day," replied Little Nine while shaking her head.
Feng Baiyu clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Such a pity, but it doesn't matter. The most important thing is that the Immortality Method is complete. Little Nine, you are the most important person in the sect right now. I will lead you to meet the Elder of Inheritance."
"Why are we meeting the Elder of Inheritance?" asked Little Nine quizzically.
The previous sect leader explained, "Only a few people are truly in power in the
Yuhua Sect. They are the Elder of Inheritance, the Elder of Justice, the Elder Council, the Sect Leader, and me. The Elder Council consists of a panel of elders. They arrive at a decision amongst themselves and represent one vote. So the Elder of Inheritance, the Elder of Justice, Sect Leader, and I each have one vote."
"For major decisions regarding the fate of the sect, the five parties will decide by vote. Usually, any decision requires three votes to be passed," said Feng Baiyu eloquently.
Little Nine nodded as she listened to his explanation. So that was how the Yuhua Sect functioned.
It had not been long since she joined the sect. Moreover, she used all the time she had to cultivate. Therefore, she did not know much about the administration of the sect.
Feng Baiyu explained in detail, "Within the Elder Council, most of the elders have sided with the Heavenly Path Sect. They already oppose us. The Elder of Justice and the Elder of Inheritance are uncertain. They have yet to declare their stance. Hence, we will now meet with the Elder of Inheritance to convince him. Then, we will also persuade the Elder of Justice. That way, we can overrule the Elder Council and shut them up."
Little Nine understood now. She asked, "Then, will the Elder of Inheritance agree to side with us?"
"He will. After seeing the Immortality Method, he definitely will," said Feng Baiyu resolutely.
The previous sect leader added, "The Elder of Inheritance needs the Immortality Method. He is already 2,000 years old and has been at the peak of the Great Venerable Plane for a very long time. He is reaching the end of his lifespan and needs. the Immortality Method to extend it. That way, he can catch a glimpse of the Saint Plane."
Little Nine understood. So that was how things were.
She followed Master and Grandfather-master to meet the Elder of Inheritance.
Along the way, the two men protected her. Now, Little Nine was an absolute treasure. There was no one else in the Yuhua Sect more important than her.
On Repentance Cliff, Li Qingshan was fishing. However, his mind was focused on another matter.
He speculated that Little Nine should have told the sect leader about the Immortality Method by then. The powers within the Yuhua Sect would be reshuffled because of this. Little Nine's position in the sect would be stable. The members of the sect were in great tension before this. However, the conflicts among them would most likely be resolved due to the appearance of the Immortality Method.
Nevertheless, the threats posed by the Heavenly Path Sect remained.
The Heavenly Path Sect would surely catch wind of the Immortality Method. The true trial would only begin then. Could the Yuhua Sect defend itself?
Li Qingshan lamented, "My ability is still too weak. I am only at the eighth sea of the Distant Shore Plane. If I were currently at the peak of the Great
Venerable Plane, then the threats faced by the sect would be insignificant." If he had very powerful abilities, he was confident that he could resolve every situation the sect faced. When the Heavenly Path Sect pressured them, they would be able to mimic Wu Shaobai's example and respond to the threats with a slash. Then, all the problems would be solved.
As he stared at the sparkling lake surface, he suddenly felt Qi vibrating inside his body. His energy churned and forcefully broke through the limit.
With a swing of his fishing rod, a fish leaped out of the lake and created water ripples.
Flowers bloom on the distant shore when fish leap out of the ocean!
The gigantic mass of power that Li Qingshan had accumulated forcefully broke through to the final stage of the Distant Shore Plane.
The ninth sea.
With his body as a vessel and his soul as its captain, Li Qingshan traversed the eight seas of the Distant Shore Plane. Right now, he was at the peak of the plane.
His next step was to break through the Distant Shore Plane and enter the ranks of the Venerable Plane.
Li Qingshan gathered up the fish he caught and picked up his fishing rod as he headed back to the bamboo hut.
"Do you want this fish grilled or cooked?" Li Qingshan asked Little Fox.
As for the breakthrough he had achieved just a second ago, he did not pay much heed to it. Instead, he merely pushed through a sea due to the spur of the moment. [Grilled.] She decisively wrote.
In the garden, Li Qingshan picked up a few pieces of wood and built a bonfire. Then, he grilled some fish to eat with Little Fox.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Beneath the starry night, Li Qingshan tore apart pieces of fish with his hand. He was pondering while eating.
What was the Venerable Plane exactly?
Venerable was defined as noble or distinguished.
The commoners crowned their king as the supreme ruler.
It was mentioned in Xunzi: Correct Judgments that rulers had supreme authority.
In the cultivation world, the heavens had supreme authority.
In the first volume of The Book of Changes: The Great Commentary, it was said that the position of the heavens and earth had been determined, with the heavens high and dignified, and the earth underneath and humble. Hence, the Venerable Plane was a milestone of cultivation.
When one's cultivation surpassed the Grandmaster Plane, the Ascension Plane, the Distant Shore Plane, and reached the Venerable Plane, one had a certain position, ability, and comprehension of the heavens and earth.
If Li Qingshan wanted to break through to the Venerable Plane, he still needed to work on his comprehension of the Great Path.
"I can spend more time comprehending the Heaven's Will of the Four Signs," Li Qingshan mumbled.
He looked up at the starry sky. The stars that night were dazzling and brilliant.
Little Fox and Li Qingshan stood together. The night breeze blew as they enjoyed the scenery. They were relaxed and happy.
In the Yuhua Sect, the Elder of Inheritance witnessed Little Nine unleash the Immortality Method. He was moved to tears.
"Finally, I see a ray of hope," said the Elder of Inheritance, sobbing. His ultimate limit was approaching, and the Immortality Method was his hope.
"Senior, you are the true inheritance of the Yuhua Sect. You stand above those at the peak of the Great Venerable Plane. The sect has existed until now because of your presence. So we naturally had to inform you of the Immortality Method first," said Feng Baiyu in the manner of a junior.
"Now that you have found the Immortality Method, others will not be able to pose a threat to you. The sect will still be in your hands. Those elders will not be able to take any drastic measures," said the Elder of Inheritance while getting slightly emotional.
"Senior, the Heavenly Path Sect has been pressuring us from all sides. We need to find a way out of this mess and cannot just sit around waiting to die," said the previous sect leader.
"The Heavenly Path Sect has always acted without any regard for others. You need to get people on your side. Get in touch with the other sects who oppose
the Heavenly Path Sect and rise up. Think outside the box," instructed the Elder of Inheritance, seemingly building up to a point.
Feng Baiyu and the previous sect leader were stunned. They tried to recall carefully which righteous sect dared to oppose the Heavenly Path Sect? Little Nine immediately came up with the answer. She said, "The demonic sects have always been at odds with the Heavenly Path Sect."
Feng Baiyu frowned and said, "Senior, are you asking us to work with people from the Demonic Path?"
The Elder of Inheritance expounded, "Who is righteous and demonic depends on your perspective. The Heavenly Path Sect is the top righteous sect. However, they are even crueler than demonic sects in their methods. Would you call them a demonic sect?"
He continued, "Do not be restricted by formalities. Let your minds be free. Step away from the conflict between the righteous sects and the demonic sects. Take a look at the world, and you will discover there are many ways to solve this problem of ours."
As expected of the Elder of Inheritance, who had lived 2,000 years, his mind was active, and he could step back and look at the bigger picture. After he was done talking, he sent Feng Baiyu and the previous sect leader away while Little Nine remained.
Then, he approached her in the manner of a disciple. He followed her carefully in learning the Immortality Method.
This was Little Nine's first time being someone's teacher. She taught him attentively..
