Chapter 633: Sect Leader Chi
The moment Sect Leader Chi saw the intelligence, he didn't show anything on the surface, but cold sweat broke out in secret.
So the Sect Leader Yun he met at the barbecue shop was actually an Immortal, which meant the Heavenly Court Sect had two ancient Immortals.
What's the point of trying to divide the Heavenly Court Sect from within and profiting from it? It's better to just join the Heavenly Court Sect.
Now the Jiu You Sect is focused on making barbecue, lacking an object to distract the Imperial Court's attention. Their Yaoyang Sect has almost been discovered by the Imperial Court several times while causing trouble.
If this continues, they will definitely be exposed.
Sect Leader Chi made several copies of the intelligence and distributed them, letting the high-level officials see the strength of the Heavenly Court Sect.
With two Immortals sitting in town, this could overturn the Great Xia. They are completely on a different level from their kind of Demon Sect that is chased and driven by the Great Xia.
The high-level officials of the Yaoyang Sect were obviously shocked by the power of Sect Leader Yun. This was simply not an object they were qualified to calculate.
I'm afraid that before they had time to calculate, they would have been wiped out by others, not even leaving a bit of soul.
"Another Immortal. The Ancient Heavenly Court is truly terrifying."
"Do you remember the Phoenix Ancestor? Her identity is one of the Four Royals, which means the other three are also Half-Immortals."
"I heard from the Jiu You Sect that the enemy of the Ancient Heavenly Court is the four Ancient Immortals. If they didn't lie to me, the Ancient Heavenly Court probably still has means that haven't been revealed."
"Then we are going to defect to the Heavenly Court Sect? It's simply absurd. Just because the Heavenly Court Sect is powerful, we hand over our sect's foundation to others?"
"Do they believe in the power of the sun? Can they help us spread the faith and let the world worship the power of the sun?"
"It's not handing it over to others, it's just seeking protection. It's not as serious as you think!"
"Not serious? I'm afraid it won't be up to us by then!"
The high-level officials argued in a group, each having their own views, refusing to give in to each other.
The most senior elder stroked his beard and said slowly: "The Ancient Heavenly Court indeed has its strengths, but that doesn't mean we have to defect to the Heavenly Court."
"The Yaoyang Sect has its own pride. How can we live under others?"
"If we defect to the Heavenly Court, whether we become a member of the Heavenly Court or cannon fodder for the Heavenly Court is a matter of two opinions!"
This elder's speech was agreed with by many people.
"Indeed, we cannot entrust our destiny to others."
"Furthermore, as long as we research results and let the world believe in the power of the sun, we can imitate the ancient ancestors and use the power of faith to give the sun life. At that time, with the supreme Sun God as protection, our sect may not be weaker than the Heavenly Court!"
The founder of the Yaoyang Sect was an archaeologist. He discovered that in the ancient times, even more distant than the four Ancient Immortals, when the ancestors were exploring the cultivation system, the ancestors' power of faith gave life to the objects of faith, which was called "Gods" by the ancestors.
This was also the opportunity to research the "Spirit Transformation stage."
At the beginning of the establishment of the Yaoyang Sect, a goal was set: to draw power from the sun, spread the greatness of the sun, let the world believe in the sun, and let the sun become a true God.
Sect Leader Chi also felt that what was said made some sense.
"Since everyone's opinions cannot reach a consensus, we can take a step back and get close to the Heavenly Court Sect by contacting the Holy Son Long Jingzhou. How about that?"
This time, Sect Leader Chi's proposal was unanimously agreed upon by the high-level officials.
After the meeting, Sect Leader Chi let out a long breath. The meeting was finally over.
"I don't know when the days of being a Sect Leader will end."
When he was a small cultivator, his favorite thing was to look at the stars and the moon at night. However, his cultivation was too low at the time, and he couldn't see the stars and the moon clearly.
By chance, he discovered that by observing objects through two lenses, the objects would become larger.
Based on this discovery, he invented a telescope that could see the stars clearly.
After applying for a patent, he heard that there was an astronomy enthusiast group nearby, so he followed the clues to find the astronomy group.
After joining, he discovered that this was a Demon Sect.
Once you join a Demon Sect, you can't get out. Leaving the sect is death. He had no other choice but to join obediently.
Originally, he wanted to keep a low profile and spend the rest of his life in peace, but the high-level officials heard that he had invented a telescope and determined that he was a talent, vigorously cultivating and promoting him rapidly. Before he knew it, he had mixed into the high-level.
Having mixed into the high-level, he thought he would just mix for a lifetime.
As a result, when it was time to run for Sect Leader, he was elected Sect Leader with a high number of votes. The reason was that his bald head looked like the sun.
He comforted himself at the time that it was good to be a Sect Leader; at least no one would manage him.
Then he discovered that this position of Sect Leader was a big pit. To put it nicely, it's called Sect Leader; to put it ugly, it's called a sacrifice.
Whenever the Yaoyang Sect encountered major setbacks, such as unsuccessful research on the sun or several strongholds being wiped out by the Imperial Court, the high-level officials would think this was the sun's punishment for the Yaoyang Sect and let the Sect Leader go to sacrifice to Heaven.
This is not something that can be finished by the Sect Leader kowtowing to the sun a few times. It's the Sect Leader going to be a sacrifice, personally sacrificing to Heaven. It is said that this is a convention left by the first Sect Leader.
Taking the sun-landing experiment as an example, if it fails again, I'm afraid the next one to land on the sun will be him.
He had been promoted too quickly from high-level to Sect Leader and hadn't had time to ask how the previous Sect Leader had died.
After becoming Sect Leader, he found out that originally the sky only had the sun as the only one, and the stars were just virtual shadows. The Yaoyang Sect had always believed that this was a symbol of the sun's greatness.
Suddenly one day, the stars were no longer virtual shadows, but real stars, and the sun was no longer the only one in the sky.
This incident caused panic in the Yaoyang Sect, which determined that this was a bad symbol, so they sacrificed the previous Sect Leader.
Sect Leader Chi was terrified after hearing this, fearing that the high-level officials would sacrifice him again for the same reason. Fortunately, the high-level officials were still rational and did not sacrifice the Sect Leader continuously.
The high-level officials were all Integration stage, and even the most senior elder was a Tribulation Transcendence stage. He had no way to resist at all.
He encountered several major events during his tenure, all of which required sacrificing the Sect Leader. He had his own way to survive safely.
He invented the telescope, and the patent fees rolled in, and the financial resources were prosperous. According to the regulations, he needed to pay taxes.
When he encountered a need to sacrifice the Sect Leader, he deliberately didn't pay taxes, letting the Imperial Court catch him. The Imperial Court didn't know he was a Demon Sect Sect Leader and treated him as an ordinary Integration stage tax evader.
Generally, this situation would lead to being locked up for decades. After decades, he would continue to be Sect Leader after being released from prison, and the high-level officials would no longer talk about sacrificing.
"If only I could defect to the Heavenly Court Sect." The Heavenly Court Sect is safer than this ghost place anyway.
He took out a token. This is the Yaoyang Token, which is the same as the Jiu You Token and can realize long-distance communication.
When he met the Heavenly Court Sect last time, he gave the Heavenly Court Sect a token each.
"This one should be the Holy Son Long Jingzhou's."
