Chapter 257: Jie Sect Reform, Rejecting Tongtian

Of course, Lin Fan said nothing.

He merely watched all of this with indifference, for he could already sense that the situation within the Jie Sect had changed once again.

First was the rise of Yuyixian.

Undoubtedly, this was because Wudang's Three Flowers had surpassed the Ninth-Grade limit.

It was precisely because he knew the limit of the Three Flowers was not the Ninth Grade that this Phoenix Clan Crown Prince, who had always been slacking off, began to strive for success, even receiving the blessing of the Phoenix Clan's foundation.

He had now entered the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. While it might seem like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, in reality, it was definitely because this fellow had supplemented his own Three Flowers immensely, leading to a massive increase in his cultivation.

After all, Kong Xuan had entered the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm long ago, and his Three Flowers Gathered at the Crown were already completely stabilized and could no longer be improved.

Therefore, the resources of the Phoenix Clan in this regard were undoubtedly tilted toward Yuyixian Dapeng, and to Lin Fan, they felt even more formidable than Wudang Shengmu's Three Flowers.

Because of this, Yuyixian's current rise was inevitable.

Coupled with the fact that Tongtian Jiaozhu had now singled him and Wudang Shengmu out for praise, the Neutral Faction he represented would become a new wave of power within the Jie Sect, and might even develop rapidly.

After all, it wasn't just Dapeng; Kong Xuan would also appear among them. With his own combat power combined with the Five-Colored Divine Light, or perhaps even the power of the Seven-Colored Divine Light, no one in the same realm could be his opponent.

At least under the current circumstances, Lin Fan could not think of any Great Luo Golden Immortal capable of defeating such a special existence as Kong Xuan.

Next was the change in the mindset of people like Duobao and Chang'er Dingguangxian.

One could tell from the hollowness of the aura on their bodies that they had basically committed massive killing tribulations, and were even entangled in karmic debt; their future prospects would definitely not be good.

Most importantly, the hollowness of their own magic power meant that their realms were, in a sense, incomplete.

Duobao was still alright.

After all, he had already entered the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm before. Although his magic power was hollow due to the killing tribulation, his foundation remained solid; as long as he cultivated properly for a period of time, he would be able to stabilize.

But apart from him.

Those people of the Duobao lineage had basically suffered, and their future prospects were basically doomed; there was no possibility of advancing further once they reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Once those Inner Disciples reached the next Jie Sect assessment, there was a high probability they would be demoted to Outer Sect Disciples, and even those few among the Seven Attendant Immortals would be affected.

The situation of the four siblings, Yunxiao and Zhao Gongming, was also somewhat different.

Except for Yunxiao, who showed no signs of hollow magic power, the others—Zhao Gongming, Bixiao, and Qiongxiao—all had hollow magic power.

Don't look at the fact that they had reached the same realm as Yunxiao; if they really fought, even if the three of them joined forces, they would not be Yunxiao's opponent, let alone the opponent of others.

It could be said that apart from Yunxiao, the rest of the siblings were basically finished; there was no hope for the Quasi-Saint realm, and their future limit would be the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

As for Jinling Shengmu and Guiling Shengmu.

The situation of these two was similar to Duobao's; their own realms were not considered stable, and their magic power was somewhat hollow, both requiring a very long period of time to stabilize.

Because of this, whether it was Duobao, Jinling Shengmu, or Guiling Shengmu, they were all somewhat resistant to this matter. After all, they were more concerned about their own situations now, rather than the so-called preaching and teaching to take in disciples and strengthen the number of humans in the Jie Sect.

Lin Fan could see it; how could Tongtian Jiaozhu not see it?

Although he didn't say anything openly, his gaze toward Duobao and the others at this moment had clearly shown quite a bit of disappointment.

Immediately after, Tongtian Jiaozhu waved his hand and said, "Since you already know, then go!"

"Enter the Human Race as soon as possible to take in disciples and spread the teachings of my Jie Sect."

"If you cannot even complete this matter well, then your status will be lowered by one grade!"

Hiss—

Hearing this, everyone present could not help but gasp.

Status lowered by one grade.

This was definitely the most severe punishment Tongtian Jiaozhu had ever issued.

After all, within any sect, a disciple's status and position were a symbol, and even more so, a representation of resources.

If a Personal Disciple were demoted to an Inner Disciple, the loss of treatment would be even more unbearable than killing them.

If an Inner Disciple were demoted to an Outer Sect Disciple, that would be enough to make them collapse instantly.

Under such circumstances, Duobao and the others were trembling in body and mind.

Originally, they had intended to just go through the motions, but now it seemed that this matter could not be neglected; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Duobao and the others immediately bowed: "We will definitely not fail the Master's expectations!"

"We will definitely not fail the Master's expectations!"

"..."

Immediately after, Duobao, Wudang Shengmu, and Yuyixian no longer lingered, turned around, left the Biyou Palace directly, and rapidly executed escape techniques to fly toward the region of the Human Race.

"Master~"

After Duobao and the others left, Bixiao, who was in the crowd, spoke with some worry: "Will there be danger in going to the Human Race to take in disciples this time?"

"Will my eldest sister encounter an accident if she acts alone? Can we siblings go together to help the eldest sister complete the task?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of Chang'er Dingguangxian and others in the hall lit up.

Subconsciously, they raised their heads to look at where Tongtian Jiaozhu was, their eyes full of anticipation.

Although they didn't know exactly what Tongtian Jiaozhu's plan was, everyone knew that Wudang Shengmu had received huge benefits when she preached before.

Now, Duobao and the others going seemed troublesome, but there were still many benefits to be had.

If they could also participate, wouldn't they be able to carve up some of the benefits?

"No need."

However, at this moment, Tongtian Jiaozhu refused without hesitation: "This operation is being carried out by the three sects simultaneously, and even Fellow Daoist Nuwa will participate in it; no one can stir up trouble in it."

"Besides that, I and your Senior Uncles will also personally pay attention; there will be no dangerous things happening, it just depends on everyone's level of taking in disciples."

Speaking of this, Tongtian Jiaozhu seemed to think of something and subconsciously looked at where Lin Fan was.

It must be said that Lin Fan had a huge advantage in this regard; after all, he was the Lord of Martial Dao. If he were to go and take in disciples, then at that time...

"Master, I won't go."

Seeing this situation, Lin Fan stood up without hesitation and spoke.

Just kidding, he knew about the affairs of Humanity.

If he were to intervene in the Human Race at this time, he would definitely become a thorn in the side of countless people, and would even be feared by the Saints.

But he was even clearer that what he needed was not in the Human Race, and what Humanity needed was not in the Human Race. Running over to participate in it at this time was simply asking for trouble.

It might even make him a target of public criticism, which would also pose a great obstacle to his subsequent planning for Humanity.
