Chapter 424

The Divine Tree branch appeared out of thin air, green light flowing, hovering in the air.

Regarding this, Hua Changxi was confused and didn't know how to deal with it.

Gu Jinfan glanced at Gu Xing, who was suddenly silent, and then looked at Hua Changxi, who was staring at the Divine Tree branch, hesitated, and said: "Peak Master Hua, you just mentioned... limiting the power of secret realm masters."

Hua Changxi's brain, which was a bit stuck, instantly came alive. While looking at the Divine Tree branch, she pointed at herself with her finger and tentatively said: "Does the Divine Tree want me to take the lead in making a heart demon oath?"

The Divine Tree branch made a nodding motion.

"......."

Hua Changxi was silent, looked at the secret realm masters whose expressions became tight, and then looked at Gu Xing, her eyes sharp: "Are you digging a hole for me?"

Gu Xing met her gaze, his tone calm: "Secret realm masters managing the Holy Land, this proposal was raised by you, right?"

"Making a heart demon oath to limit the power of secret realm masters is also your own idea, right?"

"Where did I dig a hole for you?"

Hua Changxi knitted her brows. She couldn't refute Gu Xing, but at this moment, she just felt that Gu Xing's appearance was aimed at her.

Letting secret realm masters make a heart demon oath, although it is beneficial to the development of the Holy Land, it puts a tight hoop on the secret realm masters. As the proposer, she is the public enemy of other secret realm masters.

Proposing that secret realm masters manage the Holy Land, she has already been the bad person.

Now, she actually has to continue to be the bad person.

Although she is not afraid of being this bad person, she is unwilling. There is no such thing as picking on her alone.

Seeing Hua Changxi glaring at him fiercely, Gu Xing said calmly: "You can also choose not to make it, as long as you admit that you are a person without responsibility."

Hearing this, Hua Changxi was immediately furious, 'whoosh' stood up: "How am I without responsibility?"

As she spoke, Hua Changxi walked to Gu Xing in two or three steps and looked down at him: "You say I have no responsibility, then what responsibility have you shouldered?"

Gu Xing looked up at Hua Changxi: "I live and die with the Holy Land." He paused, "A person doing things should be based on their own heart, not on how others do it."

"If you decide how to act based on others' behavior, then are you doing things for yourself, or for others?"

Hua Changxi was in no mood to listen to these empty words: "Don't tell me these ambiguous empty words."

Gu Xing looked at her: "Think about your original intention for attending the meeting today."

Original intention?

Hua Changxi had a breath stuck in her throat. Her original intention was to solve the problem of Danyuan Peak being restricted in development.

To solve this problem, she had to overthrow the old operating mode of the three departments jointly managing affairs.

The new proposal is for secret realm masters to manage affairs. Secret realm masters managing affairs means limiting the power of secret realm masters, which means making a heart demon oath.......

Hua Changxi found that she had been put on the rack.

Wen Shouren was also looking at Gu Xing. Now he also understood Gu Xing's meaning a little bit.

Let the secret realm masters make a heart demon oath.......

This solves the problem of resource abuse from the source!

It must be said that this proposal is really good.

Wen Shouren looked at Hua Changxi. Although he felt that she was a bit too sharp, he also saw that among so many secret realm masters, she was the only one without selfish motives; otherwise, there wouldn't be such a proposal.

"How about, still use my proposal?"

Hua Changxi glanced at Wen Shouren, feeling that his speaking at this time had the suspicion of provoking her, but she didn't pay much attention to it. She was looking at the Divine Tree branch.

Making a heart demon oath, why did the Divine Tree branch appear?

Hua Changxi sat back in her seat, looking at the Divine Tree branch, hesitating.

She couldn't ignore Danyuan Peak, but she didn't have much energy to spend on power games with the three major force groups. Secret realm masters managing affairs is the best for the development of Danyuan Peak.

"I haven't thought about the oath yet. Let other secret realm masters make it first."

The Divine Tree branch didn't move, and the green mist lingering around it faded, giving a feeling that the Divine Tree branch would disappear once the mist dissipated.

The secret realm masters didn't move either, and no one stood up to stop it.

Hua Changxi's gaze sank. After a long silence, she finally gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, I'll make it first." As she spoke, she raised her left hand in a swearing gesture.

"I, Hua Changxi, swear by the Divine Tree—"

"Now that I have taken on the heavy responsibility of managing the secret realm, I must treat the secret realm as a public tool, keep myself upright, and act correctly."

"Do not use the power of the secret realm to do evil, do not use the power in hand to seek private gain; what the secret realm produces, absolutely do not hide for sale, do not secretly form cliques; cultivate the virtuous and promote the capable, take it as my own responsibility, absolutely do not favor because of closeness, do not disregard justice because of interests."

"High-grade secret realms, hold the banner of example; low-grade secret realms, establish the foundation of the pillar."

"If I violate this oath, I am willing to ask the Divine Tree to take back the power of the secret realm, and all the karma I have borne will be borne by myself!"

The oath was sonorous and powerful.

As the last word fell, the tip of the Divine Tree branch suddenly burst into green light.

Immediately afterward, a golden pattern in the shape of a disc appeared in the green light, brilliant and dazzling, instantly illuminating the entire meeting hall!

"What is this?"

The audience was shocked, and all eyes focused on that strange golden pattern.

Most people were just surprised, but the secret realm masters felt a binding force from the depths of their souls from the golden pattern. For a time, their hearts were in their throats.

And Wen Shouren's heart was directly set off by a stormy sea. He looked at Gu Xing in surprise, saw his expression as usual, and then quickly glanced at Hua Changxi.

It is actually the Holy Land Decree!

The Divine Tree actually wants to... record Hua Changxi's oath into the Holy Land Decree?!

Once this order is formed, no one in the Holy Land can violate it!

Hua Changxi looked at the disc golden pattern, and her heart was not calm. It was just making a heart demon oath; did it need such a big movement?

She didn't know what the disc golden pattern specifically was, but she could guess its function, which should be similar to branding and stamping, showing the attitude of the swearer not to go back on their word.

Although she had doubts, Hua Changxi finally stretched out her hand and covered the disc golden pattern.

The phenomenon appeared again!

The moment her palm touched the golden pattern, a majestic and vast green brilliance erupted!

At the same time, a force that could not be resisted came from the Divine Tree branch, frantically grabbing a certain power in her body!

This feeling... familiar and terrifying!

Hua Changxi's brain flashed with the experience of the Star Gazing Tower—it was the power of merit! The Divine Tree was forcibly grabbing her power of merit!

"Robber!"

Hua Changxi's anger was instantly ignited. Although her proposal carried the selfish motive of developing Danyuan Peak, in the general direction, it was also for the better of the Alchemy Saint Hall, but the Divine Tree actually drew her power of merit!

Hua Changxi tried her best to pull back her hand, but her hand seemed to be stuck on the golden pattern, motionless.

Looking at Hua Changxi, who was baring her fangs and brandishing her claws at the Divine Tree and was furious, the whole audience was in an uproar. Everyone only felt it was strange and unclear, not knowing why.

Only Gu Xing, who knew everything, slowly lowered his head.

Wen Shouren looked at Gu Xing deeply, and a look of realization flashed in his eyes.

He said it, the Holy Land Decree is not a child's play?

The Master of the Holy Land must seek the consent of the Holy Land to issue the Holy Land Decree. Hua Changxi's oath needs to be engraved into the iron law of the Holy Land, naturally, it needs to pay a corresponding price!

"Whoosh~"

The Divine Tree branch absorbed the corresponding power of merit, the brilliance converged, and it disappeared into the void in an instant.

"Robber!"

Hua Changxi was furious and wanted to grab the Divine Tree branch. She didn't grab the branch, but grabbed an eighth-grade secret realm leaf and a holy pill.

Just as the secret realm masters were either gloating or confused, a solemn and thick voice suddenly sounded in their minds:

Holy Land Decree, all secret realm masters listen to the order: Now that I have taken on the heavy responsibility of managing the secret realm, I must treat the secret realm as a public tool, keep myself upright, and act correctly....... (The content is exactly the same as the oath Hua Changxi made!)

The sound echoed, and every word was like a decree branded!

In an instant, all secret realm masters were struck by lightning and stood stiffly on the spot—from now on, their words and deeds must be... according to Hua Changxi's oath?!
