Volume 4: Transformation into Mystery Chapter 557: Meet the Grand Elder!
"From today on, you will be the great elders of the Spiritual God Realm of my Xuanling Sect!"
When Shen Hua made the announcement, the three deacons and elders also distributed the elder tokens that had been prepared long ago to the hands of more than 30 people to replace their identity tokens.
At this time, the other monks in the square immediately saw the sect tokens taken by the more than 30 people. The workmanship was extremely exquisite, and there was a faint purple light flashing on it, which made people know at a glance that it was extremely extraordinary.
There was also a rather strange aura emanating from these lavender tokens, which caused many people to feel a sense of danger.
What many disciples don’t know is that the Great Elder’s token gives them a slight right to mobilize the sect’s formation, allowing them to use the sect’s formation slightly!
Seeing these thirty-odd people taking over the Great Elder's token that was emitting a lavender glow, many disciples in the square immediately cast their eyes on them with strong envy, their hearts filled with emotion.
The more than thirty people standing in front of them now were disciples like them a few years ago. Unexpectedly, they have now become the high and mighty great elders of the Spirit God Realm, and their status is completely different from theirs.
Although the expressions of these thirty-odd people were not as happy as the Spirit Infant Realm elder who had just been conferred the title, they still couldn't help but contain a hint of excitement. At this moment, they turned their heads to look at each other, and together they respectfully clasped their fists to Shen Hua and the other three, and shouted in unison: "Thank you, Sect Master and Elders!"
At this time, a hint of surprise emerged in Li Xuanfeng's expression. He had already firmly told his master that he did not want to be the successor to the sect master, and his master did not persuade him again. So he should have been appointed as an elder in the Spirit God Realm. Why didn't he call him forward now?
However, in front of so many elders and disciples of the sect, Li Xuanfeng didn't dare to ask Shen Hua at this time, and he didn't care about the position of elder at all. If Shen Hua didn't arrange it for him, he would not have any objection at all.
At this time, Li Xuanfeng's three senior brothers and Shen Luoyan also looked a little strange. They already knew that Shen Hua would arrange for Zheng Cheng to become the successor to the sect leader, but why didn't he give the younger junior brother a title?
At this time, more than 30 newly appointed great elders of the Spirit God Realm all retreated and entered the crowd, and Shen Luoyan returned to Li Xuanfeng again.
Feeling the doubt in Shen Luoyan's eyes, Li Xuanfeng smiled slightly, took her hand again, made her feel at ease, and said in a voice transmission: "It's okay."
Shen Hua was silent for a moment, then spoke again in a loud voice: "The next person to be announced will be an important figure who will lead the sect in the future!"
At this moment, Shen Hua's tone became extremely solemn, as if he was completely serious.
After hearing Shen Hua's words, many disciples and elders in the square immediately had a guess in their minds. It seemed that the sect leader was going to announce the successor, and this person must be Li Xuanfeng.
With Li Xuanfeng's terrifying combat power and qualifications, he is worthy of being the successor to the sect leader, and no one will have any objection.
"What I want to announce is the successor to the position of sect leader!" Shen Hua continued in a deep voice.
"After today, I will hand over all matters concerning the Sect Master to him as soon as possible and abdicate in favor of someone more capable than me!"
His words made all the cultivators here completely quiet down and listen attentively, as if they were afraid of missing Shen Hua's words, and their expressions became extremely serious.
"He is my eldest disciple, Zheng Cheng!"
As Shen Hua spoke solemnly, all the cultivators in the square were instantly thrown into an uproar, their faces filled with disbelief.
They never imagined that the reason why Shen Hua did not give Zheng Cheng a title was to make him the successor to the clan leader!
Originally they all thought that this position would belong to Li Xuanfeng, but they didn't expect it to fall to Zheng Cheng.
Although almost everyone in Xuanling Sect knew that Shen Hua had been training Zheng Cheng for a long time and intended to pass the position of sect leader to him, Li Xuanfeng is now much better than Zheng Cheng, and there is almost no comparison between them. Why would Shen Hua pass the position of sect leader to Zheng Cheng?
Seeing the uproar among the cultivators, Shen Hua was not at all surprised, as he had already guessed this scene. Zheng Cheng also looked somewhat helpless.
If it weren't for the fact that his junior fellow disciple was unwilling to become the next sect leader, he wouldn't be questioned by so many of his fellow disciples now.
Shen Hua did not open his mouth to explain the matter, but smiled and said: "Zheng Cheng, step out!"
After hearing what his master said, Zheng Cheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk out of the crowd and come to the front of the group.
One of the most qualified deacons and elders immediately stepped forward and handed Zheng Cheng an identity token, and bowed respectfully with his fists clasped, obviously treating Zheng Cheng as the next sect leader.
Although the identity token that Zheng Cheng received was still the token of an elder in the Spirit God Realm, the purple light on the token was deeper and exuded a more astonishing aura.
This is an identity token that is superior to that of a great elder in the Spirit God Realm, and it has more authority to mobilize the sect protection formation.
This is the identity token that Shen Hua prepared for the successor to the sect master. Although Zheng Cheng's authority is still not as good as Shen Hua's, it is already far beyond that of the great elder in the Spirit God Realm.
Zheng Cheng took the token and said in a deep voice, "Thanks to the trust of Master and the elders, and the support of all my fellow disciples , I will devote myself to the Xuanling Sect until my death, and I will never fail in my mission!"
After hearing Zheng Cheng's oath and seeing Shen Hua smiling without saying anything, showing no sign of changing his mind, the many cultivators of Xuanling Sect immediately clasped their fists and bowed deeply, shouting in unison:
"Meet the new leader!"
Although they were extremely confused, now that Shen Hua had announced it publicly and confirmed the matter, they needed to respectfully pay their respects to the new sect leader.
Li Xuanfeng also brought Shen Luoyan to greet them respectfully with fists clasped. When the disciples behind him saw this scene, they suddenly felt that he did not have the airs of being the number one person in the Spiritual Continent at all.
There were nearly 10,000 cultivators in Xuanling Sect, and at this moment, they all spoke in unison, creating a mighty sound wave that seemed to shake the entire Xuanling Sect.
It was not until a moment later that the square fell silent again, and the discussions of many cultivators also stopped. They no longer discussed why this identity was not given to Li Xuanfeng.
Just as everyone quieted down again, Shen Hua's eyes suddenly sparkled with brilliant light, and he smiled and said loudly:
"In addition to the elders who were conferred positions earlier, there is another person who single-handedly crushed the Half-Step Second Realm Demon Corpse of the Corpse Demon Sect, helped the Five Righteous Sects resolve the crisis of life and death, completely , and restored peace to the Spiritual Continent. This person's achievements are unprecedented and he is the pride of our Xuanling Sect!"
After hearing Shen Hua's introduction, many cultivators in the square immediately knew that the person he was talking about was Li Xuanfeng, and a lot of eyes were immediately focused on him.
"Li Xuanfeng!" No one knew who shouted first, but it instantly attracted countless people, and in a blink of an eye all the cultivators here shouted this name!
"Li Xuanfeng!"
Although the name was not surprising, it seemed to contain a magical power that made all the monks here excited!
The sound of Li Xuanfeng's name being called out at this time was even more powerful than the sound of Zheng Cheng's greeting just now, making the Xuanling Sect exude an extremely astonishing aura!
Although they were somewhat afraid of Li Xuanfeng's cold treatment of the demonic monks, it did not prevent them from admiring Li Xuanfeng.
In the last battle , Li Xuanfeng alone shattered a demon corpse that was half a step to the second realm, instantly reversing the disadvantage of the five righteous sects, allowing the five righteous sects to win a great victory and completely eradicate the four evil sects.
This is an achievement that they admire extremely, enough to make them respect Li Xuanfeng extremely fanatically.
Hearing the loud shouts of the crowd, Li Xuanfeng's expression showed a trace of helplessness. At this time, Shen Hua smiled and said to him: "Xuanfeng, come forward."
Li Xuanfeng had no choice but to turn his head and look at his senior sister. He saw that she was quite excited, as if she was very proud of the respect that everyone in Xuanling Sect had for Li Xuanfeng.
Seeing Li Xuanfeng coming, Shen Luoyan immediately smiled and said softly: "Go."
Li Xuanfeng had no choice but to walk out of the crowd, came to Shen Hua, stood beside his senior brother Zheng Cheng, turned around and bowed to the many cultivators in the square, saying: "Thank you fellow disciples for your kindness."
At this time, Shen Hua's eyes flickered slightly, and there was more smile on his face. He spoke again in a deep voice: "After discussion between this old man and several great elders in the Spirit God Realm, it has been decided to confer a title on Li Xuanfeng!"
Hearing Shen Hua's words, many cultivators in the square were stunned. Now that the candidates for the grand elder and the successor to the sect leader have been chosen, what identity can be given to Li Xuanfeng?
At this time, the three deacons and elders behind Shen Hua also smiled and nodded. This was exactly the result of their discussion with Shen Hua!
Shen Hua smiled slightly and continued to shout in a deep voice: "Grand Elder!"
boom!
The entire Xuanling Sect seemed to tremble slightly in an instant, and the expressions of the cultivators on the square all became extremely shocked, which was much more shocking than hearing that Zheng Cheng would become the successor to the Sect Master!
They never expected that Shen Hua did not confer the title of Grand Elder and heir to the sect leader on Li Xuanfeng, but actually gave him this extremely transcendent identity!
The Grand Elder is a person who has not appeared in the Xuanling Sect for thousands of years!
It is precisely because of this that when Shen Hua said he would confer a title on Li Xuanfeng, no one thought of the identity of the Grand Elder.
In the past, after the previous sect leader abdicated, because his cultivation and achievements far surpassed those of the next generation of sect leader, he would be named the supreme elder and become an existence with a status surpassing that of the sect leader!
There has never been anyone like Li Xuanfeng, who was directly promoted from a disciple to a grand elder, and there will never be one again!
Although he had long expected that the sect master would give Li Xuanfeng an extremely high status, and even suspected that he would be directly named the sect master's successor, he never expected that he would be the supreme elder with an extremely transcendent status!
Hearing Shen Hua's words, Li Xuanfeng's expression instantly became extremely surprised. He never expected that his master would give him such a position!
At this time, only Shen Hua and the three deacons and elders were smiling, and their expressions did not change much. The expressions of everyone else, including Li Xuanfeng, all became extremely surprised, and they were obviously shocked by Shen Hua's words for a moment.
Seeing that everyone was in shock, Shen Hua bowed deeply to Li Xuanfeng with an extremely respectful look and shouted, "Shen Hua, I pay my respects to the Grand Elder!"
The three deacons and elders behind Shen Hua immediately bowed with great respect, and shouted in a weathered voice: "Greetings to the Grand Elder!"
Moreover, after Shen Hua and the three deacons and elders bowed, they did not stand up, but remained in the bowing posture, waiting for Li Xuanfeng to accept the greeting!
Seeing the master and the three deacons paying respects, Li Xuanfeng's expression became even more helpless, and he directly sent a voice message to Shen Hua: "Master, why don't you ask me?"
Hearing Li Xuanfeng's voice transmission, Shen Hua immediately smiled and replied: "If I ask you, I'm sure you will disagree, so I will make my own decision."
"Don't you dislike tedious matters? As the Grand Elder, it is up to you to manage the sect's affairs. You can also travel around the outside world without any restrictions."
The status of the Grand Elder in the sect is extremely transcendent. Even the sect master needs to obey his orders. However, if the Grand Elder does not want to manage the affairs of the sect, he can hand it over to the sect master and concentrate on practicing in seclusion.
After hearing the master's answer, Li Xuanfeng could only shake his head and smile bitterly. He didn't expect that the master would use this trick, which caught him completely off guard.
