Chapter 291: He Tong's Ascension

Fellow disciples, we are bound to encounter a killing calamity; if we fall, it's no wonder others would blame us.

In the recording, Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun said: "Moreover, the Western Teaching is shameless, secretly striking at me; I know I have let down my sect and my master. Therefore, if one day I truly perish in this killing calamity, I hope you all will support my disciple Jinzha to inherit my legacy. Of course, there is also all my inheritance in the Chan Teaching."

Upon hearing this, many of the younger generation in the venue looked at Jinzha with envy.

Everyone is roughly the same age, yet he is not only about to be promoted to Twelve Golden Immortals but also to inherit all of Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun's legacy—how could anyone not envy him?

After all, Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun is one of the Twelve Golden Immortals, ranking among the top five; his estate will certainly allow Jinzha to advance further.

Soon, the recording ended.

Wuliang Xianweng pondered, then said: "Since this is the dying wish of Wenshu's junior fellow disciple, we cannot well refuse it; thus, the position of Twelve Golden Immortals belonging to Wenshu's junior fellow disciple shall now be inherited by Jinzha!"

As he spoke, Wuliang Xianweng waved the wooden staff in his hand.

In an instant, a Daoist robe appeared on Jinzha's body.

Having put on the new Daoist robe, Jinzha didn't stand on ceremony, leapt up, and landed on the lotus pedestal that originally belonged to Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun.

Hehe, big brother, you look not bad like this!

Looking at Jinzha on the lotus pedestal, Nezha couldn't help but grin.

Meanwhile, Taiyi Zhenren glanced at him and said: "Kid, do you like it? Or should I, as your master, let you sit in this position?"

Cough cough cough.

As Taiyi Zhenren's words fell, before Nezha could respond, Wuliang Xianweng not far away couldn't help but cough.

He truly feared that this wayward junior fellow disciple would give his position to his own disciple.

Now is not yet the time for a dynastic change; these people are far from extinct.

Jinzha's matter is Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun's dying wish; he also cannot well go against it.

But Jinzha is merely an accident; Wuliang Xianweng does not want to see a day when the Twelve Golden Immortals are all replaced by a bunch of children.

"Since Wenshu's junior fellow disciple's position has already been taken by his disciple Jinzha, what other suitable candidates are there for Puxian's junior fellow disciple's position?"

Wuliang Xianweng asked.

Master!

At that moment, Lu Tong, standing beside Wuliang Xianweng, stepped forward and said: "Disciple proposes that this position should still be inherited by my junior sister!"

Hearing this, Wuliang Xianweng couldn't help but frown.

In fact, at the previous assembly of the Twelve Golden Immortals, someone had already proposed that He Tong inherit Puxian Zhenren's position.

However, Wuliang Xianweng was strongly opposed to that.

First, He Tong is merely my disciple; what merit does she have to stand equal with me?

Second, in Wuliang Xianweng's view, He Tong's background also means she lacks the qualifications to become one of the Twelve Golden Immortals.

This...

Just as Wuliang Xianweng was preparing to refuse again, suddenly a powerful surge of spiritual power emanated from He Tong's body.

Great Luo Golden Immortal!

Sensing the aura from He Tong's body, everyone's expressions changed.

Although somewhat unstable, with the spiritual aura fluctuating restlessly, He Tong's cultivation as a Great Luo Golden Immortal is genuine.

"Wow, so fast, Senior Brother—your teaching of disciples is truly effective!"

Yun Zhongzi looked at Wuliang Xianweng and said with an envious face.

You should know that although his disciple has decent talent, so far he has only reached the Golden Immortal realm.

Now, Wuliang Xianweng's disciple He Tong has actually broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

This also makes him the only one among the Twelve Golden Immortals who has cultivated a disciple with Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation.

Facing everyone's congratulations, to be honest, Wuliang Xianweng still looks dazed at this moment.

He doesn't even know when his disciple broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

"It seems to be after returning from the North Sea expedition?"

Wuliang Xianweng frowned.

"Could it be that my disciple He Tong is truly suited for tempering through training? It seems each time she returns from descending the mountain, her cultivation undergoes a qualitative leap."

This time, Wuliang Xianweng really finds himself in a difficult spot.

To be frank, he still doesn't want his disciple to stand on equal footing with him.

But right now, it's clearly becoming hard to suppress.

There's no way; aside from He Tong, no one else has reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, so whoever is chosen will be firmly suppressed by He Tong.

"Enough!"

Wuliang Xianweng secretly thought: "Although I am reluctant, if I agree to let He Tong be promoted to Twelve Golden Immortals, she will surely feel grateful to me as her master and follow my lead; this would not be a bad choice."

Having made up his mind, Wuliang Xianweng said with a smile: "Last time I already said that as long as my disciple He Tong can break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal, I will fully support her becoming the new Twelve Golden Immortals; any objections?"

"No objections!"

"I agree that He Tong become the new Twelve Golden Immortals!"

"Good!"

"..."

At present, He Tong is the best choice; naturally, no one could have objections.

Soon, He Tong ascended the lotus pedestal belonging to the Twelve Golden Immortals.

Beside her, Lu Tong was also happy for his junior sister.

The only thing that annoys Lu Tong is the four little maidens beside He Tong, who often let slip and call He Tong 'mother'.

For this, Lu Tong can only repeatedly console himself in his heart, that his junior sister treats her disciple as she would a daughter, which caused those few maidens to develop a lovely misunderstanding.

"Exactly, that must be it; my junior sister is pure and chaste—how could she have children with anyone else?"

Lu Tong laughed and thought: "Surely that's it, Xiao Xiao He and the others are just the junior disciple's apprentices, hehe, surely that's it!"

"The last thing!"

After confirming the new Twelve Golden Immortals, Wuliang Xianweng suddenly said in a low voice: "Regarding Junior Brother Jiliu Sun, what do you all think—who should go handle this?"

"Senior Brother, I'll go take care of it!"

At that moment, Guang Chengzi said: "After all, the matter of Prince Yin Jiao is something I was already going to handle; the two matters don't conflict."

"In that case…"

Wuliang Xianweng also felt that entrusting it to Guang Chengzi would be more appropriate.

After all, Guang Chengzi is immensely strong, and he also holds a magic treasure that can control Prince Yin Jiao; having him handle it is therefore a natural course.

However, just as Wuliang Xianweng was about to agree, Jin Zha suddenly spoke up: "Senior Uncle, I request to go as well; after all, I must avenge my master's grudge!"

"As for Senior Brother Wenshu's matter, I also bear some responsibility; I will go together as well."

Cihang Daoist said.

"Count me in too!"

Suddenly, He Tong, who had not spoken up until now, also spoke: "Master, I have just been promoted to the Twelve Golden Immortals but have achieved nothing yet; please give me, your disciple, a chance to prove I am worthy of this position!"

Upon hearing this, Wuliang Xianweng nodded and said: "In that case, with four of the Twelve Golden Immortals, the matter of Junior Brother Jiliu Sun should pose no problem."
