As soon as Fang Lezhong said the word "yes", the elders of the tribe flew into a rage!
"Fang Lezhong, you are so brave!!"
"This magical power is a rare opportunity for our Fang family. How could you not discuss it with the elders or ask for permission from the clan leader?!"
"Don't forget, you are a member of the Fang family first, and then the elder of the Sixth House!"
"Do you still have the clan leader, the clan elders council, or tens of thousands of direct descendants in your eyes?!"
"No wonder you were so concerned from the beginning. It turns out you had been planning to take the magical power for yourself!"
“…”
All kinds of illogical criticisms were directed at Fang Lezhong.
The same was true for the clansmen in the audience. Although they did not dare to mention the three words "Fang Lezhong", they could still curse the Sixth House.
In an instant, the Sixth Branch stood in opposition to the entire Fang family.
Only the old woman remained silent.
Although she was angry, she knew that no matter who among the twelve elders, including herself, encountered that situation, they would be the first to get the moon because they were close to the water. There was no way around it.
It is true that Fang Lezhong's behavior is not very authentic, but it is also human nature.
"Alright, this is getting more and more outrageous. How can this be tolerated?"
The old woman sighed and said, "Think about it, Le Zhong could have kept this a secret. As long as Lin Kuang was killed, the Sixth House could have taken the magical power without anyone knowing. But he not only said it, but he also summoned the entire clan and said it in front of everyone... If it were us, we might not be able to do this."
When these words came out, all the elders were stunned.
If you ask yourself, if the lightning cage had not been set up by Fang Lezhong, they would have had evil thoughts and obtained supernatural powers first.
It is not certain that he will monopolize it all, but he will definitely wait until his own family has gained an absolute crushing advantage through their magical powers before spreading the knowledge to other families.
Like Fang Lezhong, he had the opportunity to do so, but chose to tell it clearly... I may not be able to do it myself.
Thinking of this, everyone's anger dissipated a lot.
"I have another question."
The elder of the third clan suddenly spoke up, pointed at Fang Xianzong, and asked, "Have you and this junior ever seen Lin Kuang use his magical powers? If you have, can you be sure that it is a magical power?"
"I haven't seen it."
Fang Lezhong shook his head, "But Lin Kuang has demonstrated it in front of Xianzong. This magical power is called the incarnation."
"An incarnation..."
Everyone looked at each other, still puzzled, and finally could only look at the old woman.
"The library does record the names of several magical powers, but there is no such thing as an incarnation."
The old woman shook her head.
"Xianzong."
Fang Lezhong signaled to Xu Chong.
"yes."
Xu Chong nodded and said, "Lin Kuang told me that this incarnation can split the soul and form another complete self. Not only can it die in place of others, but it can also cultivate multiple selves at the same time. He was able to survive the collapse of the cave heaven because of this incarnation."
"hiss--"
"Died in place of..."
" Multiple selves practicing at the same time?"
“…”
The elders of the tribe took a deep breath, and then their breathing became rapid.
They are not like the young people in the audience. Just a little thought will tell them how powerful this magical power is.
"In this case, we can only wait for Xianzong to grow up."
The second clan elder stroked his white beard, looking somewhat helpless.
Fang Letian's expression froze slightly, and he said unwillingly: "But how long do we have to wait? You know, Fang Xianzong is only at the ninth level of Tongmai. Not to mention how long it will take to cultivate the Dao, it will take time to cultivate magical powers after cultivating the Dao..."
"That's the last thing I'm going to say today."
Fang Lezhong interrupted, glanced around, and said, "The thing that our Fang family has the most is time."
"I suggest that the quota of the Xian generation in Chunqiu Hall be given to Xianzong."
"Until he plants the Tao and verifies the authenticity of his magical powers."
Chunqiu Hall?
These three words instantly caused an uproar.
Even the old woman who was more inclined towards Fang Lezhong couldn't help but frown slightly.
In the Fang family, in addition to tombs with various functions such as daily living, storing materials, and smelting and making medicine, the Tiandi Xuanhuang Four-Level Training Hall has clear rules of use.
The Yellow Stage has ten times as many years, and is used to train boys and girls who have just entered the martial arts world, or tribesmen with lower potential.
The Xuan level is divided into three grades, from twenty times the years to thirty times the years, to cultivate the backbone of people with average qualifications.
The Earth Stage takes fifty times as many years. Either one has to train young people with the potential to cultivate the Dao, or one has to sublimate the Dao seeds to the upper levels of power for those who have already cultivated the Dao but whose potential has not been exhausted. A lot of time is needed.
There are less than thirty places in the two training halls combined, which are controlled by the elders of each family and the number varies.
For people like Fang Xianyu and Fang Xianzong, being able to get the opportunity to practice in the Earth-level training hall is somewhat like taking the back door.
However, this situation happens frequently and no one says anything. After all, the elders are also human beings and have close direct descendants. Moreover, usually only five years are given at most at a time, and it only takes a month to stay outside.
Just don't go too far and cause dissatisfaction among your fellow family members.
As for the last, the Chunqiu Hall, which has a hundred times more years, only the clan members with the highest talent and the hope of reaching the third realm of the species are qualified to enjoy it, and there has never been an exception.
Even the clan leader did not interfere in this matter.
The old woman never expected that Fang Lezhong would not only mention Chunqiutang right away, but also bluntly said that he would give it to Fang Xianzong until he cultivated his magical powers...
Can the members of the Xian generation agree to this?
Can the elders from all parties agree to this?
The old woman looked over.
Sure enough, the Xian generation clansmen in the audience were already in an uproar.
"Spring and Autumn Hall? Absolutely not!"
"This is a self-serving crime at the expense of the public. We in the Ninth House will not agree to this!"
"The Sixth Branch has evil ambitions. Now it is occupying the Xian generation quota of Chunqiu Hall. Will it also occupy the Jing and Le generations in the future? Why not let the Sixth Branch be the clan leader?"
"Ha, why don't we follow Daqing's example and establish a court, with the Sixth House being the emperor..."
"I even suspect that there is no such thing as magical power. Everything is a conspiracy made up by the Sixth House!"
"So, it's not impossible! I hope the elders will investigate in detail!"
"I am from the Sixth House. I do not agree with your remarks, but I also do not agree with occupying Chunqiu Hall."
“…”
This situation is probably difficult.
The old woman sighed and looked at the elders again.
Then she froze.
Most of the elders who would argue with each other even if there was no benefit to them, ignored the reactions of their fellow tribesmen and instead lowered their heads and frowned in thought...
It seems that he is actually considering Fang Lezhong's words seriously? !
Well, this doesn’t include Fang Letian.
"Fang Lezhong, do you know what you are talking about?"
Fang Letian said coldly, "You are going to destroy the rules that the Fang family has maintained for countless years!"
"Don't be so exaggerated."
Fang Lezhong shook his head and said to Fang Letian with a teasing smile: "To be honest, it won't take much time for Xianzong to break through the ninth level of the body cleansing."
"Oh, what a joke."
Fang Letian retorted mercilessly, "Others may not know Fang Xianzong's qualifications, but they can't hide it from me..."
"That, the elder of the Le Tian clan."
Xu Chong suddenly interrupted, smiling shyly, "After I killed Fang Xianyu, my mind became harmonious and free of obstacles, which means I solved the problem of my inner demon in advance... It's all thanks to him."
In an instant, Fang Letian's expression became extremely interesting, and he was extremely depressed.
Without the trouble of inner demons, it would indeed not take too long to reach the state of body cleansing.
But this is all because of stepping on the life of his own grandson...
Fang Lezhong glanced at Xu Chong with admiration and said loudly: "I asked Lin Kuang to pass on his magical powers to Xianzong. Everyone may think that I am selfish, but I don't deny it."
“But think about it, the condition proposed by Lin Kuang cannot exceed Tongmai.”
"Since I can't surpass Tongmai, who else can be more suitable than a Tongmai ninth level without any inner demons?"
Fang Lezhong's gaze swept across the faces of the elders one by one .
Although the elders looked extremely unhappy, none of them could refute.
"As for Chunqiu Hall, if you really don't want to give it to me, I don't really need it."
Fang Lezhong continued, "At worst, I can force the people from the Sixth House to lock the quota for the Earth-level Training Hall to Xianzong."
Everyone looked at each other.
If there is such a good thing, they will definitely not refuse it.
But they knew that was impossible.
really.
Fang Lezhong suddenly changed the subject.
"But I have to say something ugly first."
"First, the Earth-level training hall only has fifty times the age. The extra time was a joint decision by everyone. Please don't accuse me of incompetence."
"Well, these two..."
"It was me who arrested Lin Kuang, it was me who forced Lin Kuang to hand over his magical powers, and it was me who paid the price to cultivate his magical powers."
"The seeding, fertilization, and weeding were all done by Room Six, so don't blame me for picking the fruits first when they are ripe."
Fang Lezhong waved his sleeves and said calmly but firmly, "If you are not convinced by this, then please ask the clan leader to come out and make the decision."
this……
The elders of the tribe looked at each other.
If there is a situation that no one wants to see, it must be one company dominating the market.
Because history has proven that if one branch dominates, then that branch will continue to be stronger and stronger... Once upon a time, the Fang family was more than just the twelve branches it has today.
"Ahem, I think what Fang Letian said makes sense. After all, these are rules that have been passed down for so many years. If they are easily broken, no one will abide by them in the future."
The second clan elder suddenly spoke up, "But, rules are dead, people are alive."
"After all, magical powers are something that can benefit our entire Fang family."
"So I suggest that each room express its stance."
"My second room will come first."
The Second Branch elder pretended to look around at the audience, then nodded immediately: "The Second Branch has resolved to support Elder Fang Lezhong and support Fang Xianzong to enter the Spring and Autumn Hall."
This series of self-talk not only stunned the elders of the clan, but also made the people from the second branch of the family in the audience look puzzled.
"Thank you very much."
Fang Lezhong nodded to the elder of the second branch of the family with kindness in his eyes.
This kindness gave the others a sudden shock and they all reacted.
"My third branch is the same, we support the elder Fang Lezhong!"
"Room Four has no objection!"
“…”
Even after the old woman spoke, everyone looked at Fang Letian.
Fang Letian was completely numb.
He is unwilling to accept this.
It's bad enough that the supernatural power fell into the hands of the Sixth House, but now even the quota for Chunqiu Hall has to be given to the Sixth House?
As for me, not only did I lose a legitimate grandson, but I also completely disgraced the Sixth House...
If time goes on, I'm afraid I'll become the weakest among the twelve rooms.
No, we can't just let this go!
Fang Letian gritted his teeth for a while, and suddenly said: "The Seventh House can support the matter of Chunqiu Hall... But the problem is, how can we believe that the magical power that Lin Kuang taught Fang Xianzong is genuine?"
"Don't forget, this is Lin Kuang's conspiracy."
"It is very likely that Lin Kuang did not pass on the real magical power to Fang Xianzong."
"If the whole clan has to pay such a huge price to cooperate just for a feint, I don't know what you think, but I think it's quite boring."
"Please think about this for a moment."
"If Fang Xianzong discovers that his magical power is fake after cultivating the Dao, what should we do then?"
"Forcing Lin Kuang to pass on his magical powers again?"
"It's not impossible, but if Lin Kuang still asks to pass it on to the younger generation at a lower level, and continues to trick us once, twice, three times...what can we do?"
"With such a great opportunity, are we really willing to kill him?"
Fang Letian argued confidently, "Don't you feel ashamed to be led by a branch of the Lin family like this?"
Fang Le's heart sank.
He saw the expressions of the others and became subtle.
"What do you think?"
The old woman asked.
"I think, instead of being completely passive like this, it's better to take some risks and force that Lin Kuang..."
Fang Letian replied.
“If we force Lin Kuang to death, and Xian Zong only gets fake magical powers, will you bear the loss?”
Fang Lezhong spoke coldly, interrupting Fang Letian.
"I haven't finished talking yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
Fang Letian sneered, "Why, are you afraid that I will ruin your dream of having the most powerful family among the six branches?"
"you!!"
Fang Lezhong stood up angrily.
Boom boom!
The old woman knocked on the table, glanced at Fang Lezhong calmly, and said, "Letian, continue."
"Thank you, aunt."
Fang Letian smiled complacently and continued, "You may wish to make an assumption."
"Let's assume for the time being that what Lin Kuang taught Fang Xianzong was the real magical power."
"This means that Lin Kuang has already paid a price. He resisted coercion and chose to die. This is equivalent to giving the Fang family a free advantage. How can he be willing to accept this?"
"I guess he will choose to pass it one more time, but the second time will be fake."
"Let's assume that the magical power Fang Xianzong obtained was fake."
"In that case, our coercion will demonstrate the Fang family's determination. What will Lin Kuang do?"
"I guess he will choose to post it one more time. It may still be fake...but it is also possible that it is real."
Fang Letian glanced at Fang Lezhong and said calmly: "Although it is a bit risky, it will increase our chances of obtaining magical powers a little bit."
At this time, many elders in the clan had already shown expressions of approval.
Xu Chong sneered inwardly, there was indeed nothing wrong with this old man 's thinking.
Unfortunately, it's not that simple.
"My fellow elders and relatives, why don't you let Xianzong say a few words?"
Xu Chong interrupted forcefully, attracting everyone's attention as soon as he opened his mouth.
"I haven't read the records of the clan about supernatural powers, so I don't know much about them."
"I can neither judge the authenticity of what that Lin Kuang taught me, nor can I repeat it exactly as it was. I can only describe it briefly."
Fang Lezhong raised his eyebrows, somewhat dissatisfied with Xu Chong's self-assertion, but he did not intend to stop him.
He was also curious about the cultivation method of supernatural powers.
Not to mention the others.
Everyone's ears perked up to the sky, afraid that they would miss something.
"It's actually very simple. What Lin Kuang taught me is twelve hand seals, combined with twelve words that I can't understand at all."
Xu Chong continued, "I thought it was fake at the time, so I asked Lin Kuang. Lin Kuang said it was normal and he didn't understand it either... To cultivate supernatural powers, you don't need to understand it."
"joke."
Fang Letian sneered, "You can remember what you got, but you say you can't repeat it exactly. What's the logic behind this?"
"No, this is normal."
The old woman spoke in a deep voice.
"aunt?"
Fang Letian was stunned.
"I have been in charge of the library, so I know a little more about it."
The old woman replied in a deep voice: "It's the same as Xianzong said. Supernatural powers are cultivated by combining hand seals with mantras. Moreover, before you truly cultivate supernatural powers, even if you try your best to repeat it, you will only repeat the wrong content."
"So... what Fang Xianzong obtained was a real magical power?"
Everyone looked at Xu Chong and their breathing quickened.
"It's impossible to tell. It's also possible that Lin Kuang deliberately said something incomprehensible and used Xianzong to mislead us."
The old woman shook her head. "But one thing is certain. Lin Kuang really has mastered a magical power... The name and effect of the incarnation are probably not made up out of thin air."
"In this case, we'd better not take any risks."
The second clan elder pondered for a while and said, "I don't agree to continue forcing Lin Kuang."
"I don't agree with that either."
"Me too."
“…”
Everyone expressed their opinions.
Fang Letian wanted to say something, but was stopped by the old woman with a stern look.
"That's settled."
The old woman spoke, and her grand voice spread throughout the hall, "From now on, the quota of the Xian generation in Chunqiu Hall will be exclusively for Fang Xianzong, until the seeding of the Dao, and then we will discuss it again. No one is allowed to question, provoke, or interfere with Fang Xianzong. Those who violate the order will be punished for treason!"
This is how it was settled.
Xu Chong breathed a sigh of relief.
Why did he control his clone to act so well with him?
Isn’t it just for Chunqiu Hall?
I was originally planning to say something about who repaired the dam to give it some stability, since no one here would understand me anyway. But who knew that the Fang family's records of supernatural powers were so detailed that the old woman confirmed it before I could even say it.
The library?
Will there be any record of the magical power of bewitching in it?
