Chapter 362: The Successor of the Ice Fairy
Master Hanli's words stunned everyone present, and they all looked at him in disbelief.
Not only Ye Changsheng was shocked, but even Bai Mengxin, Madam Long and others were stunned, not understanding why Master Hanli suddenly said such a thing.
"Senior Brother Hanli, this..." The elder of Xiaoji Palace named Ouyang looked at the elder in surprise and doubt, with confusion in his eyes.
Ye Changsheng is an outsider who has no close relationship with Xiaoji Palace and is not even a cultivator of Dajin. But isn't it too outrageous that the position of grand elder is passed to him?
"Senior Brother Hanli, Fellow Daoist Ye is not from Xiaoji Palace, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate?" Bai Mengxin also said with a frown.
The two were so shocked by Master Hanli's words that they even forgot what the situation was like outside in Xiaoji Palace.
After hearing the words of his two junior brothers and sisters, Master Hanli showed a smile on his face. He also knew that his suggestion was outrageous.
Under normal circumstances, the monks of Xiaoji Palace would never agree to this.
But now is an extraordinary moment, Xiaoji Palace is facing the danger of destruction, so extraordinary measures have to be taken to deal with it.
In fact, when Master Hanli first met Ye Changsheng, he sensed the Xu Tian Ding and Qianlan Bingyan on him. At that time, his plan for Ye Changsheng was to use this person's power to help himself break through to the God Transformation Stage.
Then, with the help of his strength in the God Transformation Stage, he directly killed this person and took back the Xu Tian Ding!
Master Hanli still has confidence in this, although there have been rumors in the outside world that Ye Changsheng is on par with the Jindan cultivators and possesses Jindan-level magical powers.
However, Master Hanli knew clearly what the situation was like for the Divine Transformation cultivators in the human world.
He knew that a God Transformation cultivator could not attack with his full strength, so he did not think that Ye Changsheng's so-called ability to be on par with a God Transformation cultivator meant that he really possessed the combat power of a God Transformation level.
At best, Ye Changsheng's magical powers are so powerful that they surpass those of ordinary late Nascent Soul cultivators.
In addition, he held a magical treasure in his hand, and those godsend cultivators were afraid that fighting with him would cause serious loss of their essence, so they did not dare to fight with him.
This is the origin of Ye Changsheng’s claim that he can be on par with the Divine Transformation cultivators.
However, this situation does not apply to him.
Because if he breaks through to the God Transformation stage, then he is just a cultivator who has just achieved the God Transformation stage, and he is not as afraid of the loss of his essence as other God Transformation cultivators.
His life span is still long enough, so he can afford to lose a certain amount of essence.
Furthermore, in this Xuanyu Cave, he can mobilize many means. With the help of various restrictions here, he may not even need to lose his essence, and he can kill Ye Changsheng with the strength of the early stage of the Spirit Transformation.
As long as this person is killed, not only can the Xutian Ding, which is of great significance to the monks of Xiaoji Palace, be taken back, but also the Black Wind Flag, a magical treasure that can reach the sky, can be obtained as well.
You can even obtain the True Fire of the Moon, use it to capture the True Fire of the Sun, and refine the Huiyang Water.
There are so many benefits to be gained by killing Ye Changsheng that Master Hanli cannot help but be tempted.
But unfortunately, all these plans ended in failure because of his failure to break through, and these ideas were shattered like a dream.
Master Hanli then had to face a more realistic problem:
He is about to die, and Xiaoji Palace is now facing the biggest crisis in its history.
With the limited power that Xiaoji Palace has now, it is simply unable to stop those wolf-like and tiger-like monsters outside.
These monsters will inevitably destroy the Taoist lineage of Fairy Bingpo, which is something Master Hanli absolutely does not want to see.
He must find a way to preserve the Taoist tradition of Xiaoji Palace .
Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for him to turn against Ye Changsheng.
Although he has mastered some magical powers of the God Transformation Stage now, the probability of him killing Ye Changsheng is greatly reduced.
If this person cannot be killed, it will only make the current situation in Xiaoji Palace worse.
On the other hand, if this person could be won over, Xiaoji Palace would be able to turn danger into safety immediately.
Judging from Ye Changsheng's rumored magical powers, dealing with those people outside should not be a problem.
"I heard that he has a close relationship with Junior Sister Bai, and he seems to be a single male cultivator. Maybe we can get him to join Xiaoji Palace by bringing him together with Junior Sister Bai!"
"Junior Sister Bai is already at the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and will soon break through to the late stage. With the help of this person, it shouldn't be a problem for Junior Sister Bai to break through to the late stage!"
"By then, it won't be unacceptable for the two of them to take control of Xiaoji Palace!"
"Based on my understanding of this person, he should not be the kind of person who pursues power. Otherwise, how could he have reached such a level of cultivation at such a young age?"
"Next, all his focus should be on breaking through the Divine Transformation. After breaking through the Divine Transformation, he will have to find a spatial node to ascend..."
Master Hanli thought quickly in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was feasible.
Ye Changsheng is not a person who fights for power and profit. He believes in his own vision.
In this case, making him the grand elder of Xiaoji Palace is nothing more than giving him a title.
With the title of a great elder, this person can help Xiaoji Palace survive this disaster. This deal is worth making.
Thinking of this, Master Hanli ignored the questions of his two junior brothers and sisters, and instead smiled and asked Ye Changsheng:
"Brother Ye, what do you think of our Junior Sister Bai Yaoyi from Xiaoji Palace? As far as I know, Brother Ye doesn't have a Taoist partner, right?"
"If you and Junior Sister Bai become a Taoist couple, then you can legitimately join Xiaoji Palace. You will be the chief elder at that time. After Junior Sister Bai breaks through to the late stage, you will let her be the palace master. Then Xiaoji Palace will belong to you and your wife!"
"What do you think, Brother Ye, is the sincerity I offer enough?" Master Hanli said calmly.
"So this is what the Great Elder is thinking!" After hearing this, Bai Mengxin's expression calmed down and she no longer had any doubts or objections.
If this was the arrangement, then in her opinion, it would undoubtedly be an excellent result.
Bai Yaoyi is her sister. If she becomes the palace master, the status of their Bai family in Xiaoji Palace will immediately rise.
They can almost become the number one family in Xiaoji Palace.
And she herself might be able to gain a lot of benefits from it, and even take the opportunity to break through to the later stage.
Thinking of this prospect, Bai Mengxin naturally had no motivation to object.
On the contrary, the middle-aged man surnamed Ouyang frowned slightly but did not say much.
He is a staunch subordinate of Master Hanli, and is more or less convinced by Master Hanli's arrangements.
Therefore, even though he now felt that it was inappropriate to hastily let Ye Changsheng, a person whose background they did not know very well, become the chief elder.
But since the Great Elder has made such a decision, he won't say much.
As for the other person in the Xuanyu Cave, Mrs. Long, there was even less room for her to interrupt. She was just a cultivator from the outer sect branch of the Xiaoji Palace and could not be considered a proper disciple of the Xiaoji Palace. Naturally, she had no right to speak on such a major matter.
The four of them all looked at Ye Changsheng, and at this moment, Ye Changsheng's face had changed to a pensive look.
After a moment, Ye Changsheng slowly said: "What Daoist Fellow Hanli said really moved me, but I'm afraid that just based on these, it's not enough for me to become the great elder!"
"After all, the Xiaoji Palace is now facing an attack from the Ten Thousand Monsters Valley. The position of the Great Elder is a hot potato. I'm afraid no one would be willing to offend the Che Old Monster of the Ten Thousand Monsters Valley!"
Master Hanli was not surprised to hear the refusal in Ye Changsheng's words. If it were him, he would not have wanted to be the great elder at such a critical moment.
However, he has a lot of trump cards in his hand, and he believes that he can impress Ye Changsheng with them.
Master Hanli said confidently: "Brother Ye, what you said makes sense, but Brother Ye, have you forgotten that the Ice Phoenix and the monsters of the Ten Thousand Monster Valley wanted Brother Ye back then? Do you think they will let you go easily?"
"Brother Ye is now standing on the same warship with us!"
"Does Fellow Daoist Ye have to watch my sister die in the attack of the monster?" Bai Mengxin couldn't help but say.
Ye Changsheng smiled upon hearing this, shook his head and said: "Although I have offended Bingfeng, with my strength, it is not difficult for me to escape from here. If I agree to your request, I will have to fight those people head-on, which is not what I want!"
"As for Yaoyi's matter, I'll just take her away. It's not difficult. I can still get away with just one person!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Mengxin immediately said, "Fellow Daoist Ye may not fully understand Yaoyi's character. She, like me, grew up in Xiaoji Palace. This is our home!"
"She won't leave Xiaoji Palace alone. We cultivators who are tied to our families and sects are different from ordinary cultivators. I think Brother Ye is a casual cultivator, so it's difficult for him to understand this kind of emotion!"
At this time, Master Hanli spoke again: "It is indeed inappropriate to let Brother Ye risk his life just relying on the Great Elder!"
"But what if we add the secret technique of breaking through the divine transformation and the secret of ascending to the spiritual world?"
Master Hanli looked at Ye Changsheng and smiled, saying, "We in Xiaoji Palace have had several predecessors who have achieved a breakthrough to the God Transformation Realm. The breakthrough secrets and experiences they left behind are extremely valuable. Don't you want these things, Brother Ye?"
"The space crack where the Void Spirit Palace is now located is actually a space node that can lead to the spirit world!"
"This was specially found and left behind by our founder. I believe that there is no place in the entire human world that is more stable than this node!"
“Although I am not a Divine Transformation cultivator, I do know a lot about the rumors about Divine Transformation cultivators. In our human world, if we want to ascend, we can only take the path of space nodes!”
"I heard that Brother Ye has a close relationship with Princess Linglong who was suppressed on Kunwu Mountain. I guess he must have obtained a lot of information about space nodes from her, right?"
“But I believe that among these space nodes, Brother Ye will definitely not be able to find a node that can be compared with the node of Xiaoji Palace!”
"If Brother Ye agrees to be the grand elder, then this space node will be under Brother Ye's control!" Master Hanli said with great confidence.
He believed that these were enough to make Ye Changsheng fall in love.
Ye Changsheng indeed showed a thoughtful look on his face.
On the other side, the elder of Xiaoji Palace named Ouyang frowned slightly when he saw this scene. He whispered:
"Grand Elder, even if Fellow Daoist Ye agrees to be the next Grand Elder, we have no objection, but after he leaves, how can we convince the other elders?"
"You know, he is not a cultivator from Xiaoji Palace at all. I'm afraid he won't be able to convince other fellow disciples just by marrying Junior Sister Bai !"
Hearing his junior brother's words, Master Hanli laughed loudly, looked at Bai Mengxin and the middle-aged man, and said solemnly:
"I'm afraid both of you have such doubts in your hearts, thinking that Brother Ye, an outsider, cannot win the support of the people in Xiaoji Palace, right?"
Bai Mengxin's eyes flashed when she heard this, and she said, "That's right, Brother Ye is not a cultivator from Xiaoji Palace. It would be against the ancestral rules to directly make him the chief elder!"
"Now is a critical moment, maybe no one will say anything, but after the crisis is over, I'm afraid many people will make a fuss about this. I have been worried about this before!"
"Who said Brother Ye is not a disciple of Xiaoji Palace?" Master Hanli's face suddenly straightened and his expression became serious.
"What does the Great Elder mean?" The middle-aged man showed surprise on his face.
"Brother Ye is not only a disciple of Xiaoji Palace, but his status is higher than any of us. He is the direct descendant of Patriarch Bingpo and is in the same status as several second-generation ancestors of our Xiaoji Palace!" Master Hanli said directly.
These words immediately stunned Bai Mengxin, the man surnamed Ouyang, and Mrs. Long.
"Brother Ye has inherited the legacy of Master Bingpo, practices the Qianlan Ice Flame, and obtained the Xutian Ding left by Master Bingpo. In this world, no one is a more genuine descendant of Bingpo than him!" Master Hanli said a piece of news that stunned Bai Mengxin and the middle-aged man.
"What? Xu Tian Ding?!"
"He has mastered the Xutian Ding? How is that possible?!"
Both of them looked at Ye Changsheng in horror, with disbelief in their eyes.
"What do you think, Brother Ye? You have inherited the legacy of Patriarch Bingpo. We in Xiaoji Palace should serve you as the master. Now it is most appropriate for you to be the chief elder!" said Master Hanli with a twinkling eye.
At this time, Ye Changsheng finally showed an interested look on his face, and said: "It seems that I have no choice but to be the Great Elder!"
"Okay, the three of you, why don't you hurry up and pay your respects to the Great Elder?" Master Hanli immediately said with great surprise.
Bai Mengxin and the other three suppressed their complicated emotions, bowed quickly, and said, "Greetings, Great Elder!"
"You're welcome, everyone. From now on in Xiaoji Palace, I will rely on your help!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile on his face.
Since he had agreed to this matter, he immediately got into the state and made himself the great elder.
