Chapter 357: Expounding Teaching Vice Sect Leader Mu Zha!

Because Huanglong True Person suddenly took a stand, Mu Zha unexpectedly inherited Yun Zhongzi's original position.

Although not one of the Twelve Golden Immortals, he nevertheless became the candidate to succeed Yun Zhongzi as Vice Sect Leader.

Moreover, the most important point is that the original Vice Sect Leader, Ran Deng Daoist, was confined by Yuanshi Tianzun beneath Qilin Cliff for some reason.

Thinking of this, Wuliang Xianweng's mood grew even worse.

Simply because, this also means that Mu Zha, who had just inherited Yun Zhongzi's position, actually gained the possibility of exercising the authority of Vice Sect Leader.

Although, because Ran Deng Daoist has been in seclusion year-round and does not really manage sect affairs, the Vice Sect Leader position has always been optional.

But the title of Vice Sect Leader is there; now Mu Zha has the power to exercise Vice Sect Leader authority, and if we reckon seriously, even Wuliang Xianweng would be overshadowed by him.

Absurd!

Wuliang Xianweng always feels that the current situation of the Expounding Teaching is quite off.

"Tianzun, congratulations! This child Mu Zha has been steady since childhood; now he has become the Vice Sect Leader of your sect, and he will surely help your sect stabilize the situation in the upcoming calamity!"

After the result came out, Ao Yifan immediately congratulated Yuanshi Tianzun.

Upon these words, several Golden Immortals present who did not yet know that Ran Deng Daoist was confined were instantly stunned.

"Senior Martial Brother, what is this situation? Even if Mu Zha succeeds Yun Zhongzi's junior fellow disciple's position, he could never become our Expounding Teaching's Vice Sect Leader!"

Chi Jingzi urged anxiously.

Facing Chi Jingzi's inquiry, Wuliang Xianweng's face sank, and he said: "This matter, I have not yet had the chance to inform all my junior fellow disciples; our sect's Vice Sect Leader Ran Deng Daoist, because of some matters, has already been confined by the Master beneath Qilin Cliff, and moreover, his Vice Sect Leader status has also been stripped by the Master."

"This..."

Upon hearing Wuliang Xianweng's words, the immortals all went numb at once, and they all turned to look at Huanglong True Person who had suddenly taken a stand.

On the other side, Huanglong True Person also looked bewildered.

In fact, agreeing to take a stand, in Huanglong True Person's view, even if Mu Zha inherits Yun Zhongzi's position, it is irrelevant.

After all, although it is said that Yun Zhongzi is a backup for Vice Sect Leader, if Ran Deng Daoist does not step down, he will forever remain an idle person.

Coincidentally, just as Mu Zha had inherited Yun Zhongzi's position, Ran Deng Daoist already encountered trouble.

Thus, Mu Zha directly rose to become the Vice Sect Leader of the Expounding Teaching.

The speed of this promotion was something even Mu Zha himself had not anticipated.

"So I, have become the Vice Sect Leader of the Expounding Teaching?"

Mu Zha felt a sense of unreality, and immediately looked toward the high seat where Ao Yifan sat.

"No wonder Dad said he would give him a big surprise this time; I never expected the surprise to be this huge!"

At this moment, the one feeling most bitter in his heart was probably Huanglong True Person.

A seemingly insignificant stand actually completely set him up.

Thinking of that person, Huanglong True Person felt that he himself was very likely also schemed against by the other party.

After all, in the vote for Vice Sect Leader, he made this choice.

Whether intentional or not, he has already fully declared his stance.

And from now on, he can only follow Jin Zha and them down a single path to the end.

After all, on Wuliang Xianweng's side, it is absolutely impossible to accept a fellow who might betray at any critical moment.

"Fellow Daoist, what a scheme!"

Yuanshi Tianzun looked toward Ao Yifan and said.

Upon hearing this, Ao Yifan merely gave a light smile and said: "Tianzun, still the same saying—everything, for the prosperity of the Expounding Teaching!"

"Yes, for the prosperity of the Expounding Teaching!"

After a moment of contemplation, Yuanshi Tianzun gazed at Ao Yifan, the stars in his eyes flickering uncertainly, unknown what he was thinking.

In an instant, the atmosphere on the scene became extremely tense, like the calm before a volcanic eruption.

"Master, if a fight breaks out later, just stay put, so as not to let the disciples bear the infamy of betraying master and destroying the ancestors!"

Ne Zha whispered in Taiyi True Person's ear.

Looking at the fire-tip spear that had somehow appeared in Ne Zha's hand, Taiyi True Person wore a speechless expression, thinking to himself: "This kid really is full of rebellious bones; even before the fight starts, he's already thinking of taking on his master, me."

"Don't be nervous, things won't blow up; my master, I know him best!"

Taiyi True Person indifferently waved his hand.

Time slowly passed, Yuanshi Tianzun silently gazed at Ao Yifan.

And facing Yuanshi Tianzun's ever-stronger intangible pressure, Ao Yifan merely responded with a faint smile.

Finally, all that could be heard was Yuanshi Tianzun sighing, saying: "Fellow Daoist, would you like to take a trip to Heaven Beyond Heaven?"

"Hehe, still not resigned?"

With a slight smile, Ao Yifan rose to his feet and made a gesturing invitation.

The next moment, countless stars flew out from within Yuanshi Tianzun's body, forming a road of stars.

Immediately thereafter, as Yuanshi Tianzun stepped onto this path, in the blink of an eye he had already vanished from the sight of all the immortals.

"Really a splendid method!"

Ao Yifan sighed in admiration, then lightly grabbed with his right hand.

Immediately afterward, everyone saw that something had been forcibly seized by him and pulled over.

"That is Heaven Beyond Heaven; he actually managed to do this!"

Compared to Yuanshi Tianzun's methods, Ao Yifan's approach is undoubtedly simpler and more brute.

What he just did was to forcibly seize the interval between Heaven Beyond Heaven and his own space and hold it in his hand.

Such a wanton manipulation of space, to the immortals present, is undoubtedly beyond belief!

"Come, let's follow up and take a look!"

Jin Zha spoke up, and everyone soared into the air, heading toward Heaven Beyond Heaven.

However, with their speed, wanting to reach the Heavens Beyond still takes a considerable amount of time.

However, although the Heavens Beyond are still some distance away, the immortals have already sensed that from above the Heavens Beyond, faintly, waves of powerful pressure are sweeping over.

「Impressive! That person actually stepped into the Sage's Realm! 」

Wu Liang Xian Weng's face darkened slightly.

It is obvious that Ao Yifan's strength has completely changed the current state of the Orthodoxy.

……

A light tap of the finger turned myriad stars into a torrent that surged toward Ao Yifan.

「Oh? You want to test my abilities rather than the power of my magic treasure? 」

Watching this, Ao Yifan smiled.

In the next moment, without any visible action, in an instant, centered on him, space froze.

These days, Ao Yifan's Void Claw is far beyond what it once was; with a mere gesture, he can toy with space as he pleases.

His strike failed; Yuanshi Tianzun turned his right hand.

Immediately afterward, the stars that had been frozen in space flickered, and in a moment they formed a formation.

The formation's power swept outward; in a moment, Ao Yifan felt the pressure around him become immensely heavy, and even the space that had been frozen showed signs of collapsing.

「Indeed, these little tricks cannot possibly block a sage's attack. 」

Thinking this, Ao Yifan's mind stirred.

In the next moment, his body transformed into a myriad-zhang giant.

Embodying Heaven and Earth!

Although Ao Yifan has never cultivated this divine ability himself, by utilizing the Great Dao of Procreation he can easily wield all the powers mastered by his children.

The one who has mastered this divine ability most proficiently, Ao Shao, even if he were to employ Embodying Heaven and Earth, would still fall far short of Ao Yifan today.
