Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1271: Chapter 18: The Four World’s Best Gather! (Requesting Monthly Votes) Chapter 1271: Chapter 18: The Four World’s Best Gather! (Requesting Monthly Votes) … In an instant, the gossiping hearts of all the Enlightened Ones ignited fiercely, as they swiftly began to conjure up various scenes in their minds.

Purple Xiao had been in seclusion for a long time, hadn’t he? It could very well be that he orchestrated this whole affair. Under the guise of seclusion, he could have covertly visited Qing’an College to reunite with the family of Master Yaoguang.

This strategy was truly a stroke of genius.

Why hadn’t anyone thought of this before?

However, the higher one’s Cultivation Realm, the higher the complexity of life, making it increasingly difficult to successfully conceive offspring. Cultivators in the Purple Abode Realm who wished to have children either needed extraordinary luck or had to persistently and tirelessly work on it.

Was it a matter of luck for Purple Xiao and Yaoguang, or was it the result of long-term efforts?

“You lot… what are these absurd expressions all about?!” Master Purple Xiao, seasoned as he was, a Divine Realm Powerhouse, instantly understood their looks.

“How disgraceful it is to be in league with you all.”

He couldn’t contain his anger and with a wave of his hand, grumpily took his seat with his disciples in his designated presidential spot.

“It’s unbelievable, these colossi and Enlightened Ones together… so unserious,” Wang Shouzhe’s follower, Xu Chuchu, muttered under her breath with a blush.

Wang Shouzhe couldn’t help but smile wryly.

You haven’t yet seen even less serious, more unrestrained colossi~ Perhaps it’s because the longer one lives, the thicker one’s skin naturally becomes over their experiences. Anyway, Wang Shouzhe had never encountered a thin-skinned colossus.

Moreover, cultivators of the Profound Martial way are also human; they have emotions, they have character flaws. After all, there is no such thing as a “perfect person” in this world.

It’s manageable when one’s Cultivation base is low, as they are constrained by those above and naturally know to restrain themselves. But once their Cultivation base is high and no one controls them, their wanton nature gradually reveals itself. It’s hard to predict what they might become over time.

Isn’t that why there is the saying about being a “big kid”?

“Cough, cough, enough now,” Jiang Zhencang coughed twice, “Today marks the start of the Contest for the Saint, and many younger generations are present. Please, be mindful of the impact.”

Behind him, Wang Ying Xuan’s mouth twitched, and she briskly rolled up her sleeves: “It’s just about having children, what’s there to worry about impacting anyone? Master, everyone is here, please speed things up; I can’t wait to crush all opposition and inherit the position of Sacred Master.”

Jiang Zhencang’s expression froze momentarily, then after another two coughs, he retorted, “You can only inherit the position of Saintess for now, your Master still has many good years left.”

He felt deeply moved, thinking to himself that his prized disciple was good in many ways—excellent aptitude, good understanding, and strong fighting capacity—but lacked any semblance of a noble goddess’s demeanor; she preferred brute force and rolling up her sleeves to get things done.

Back when he, Jiang Zhencang, was young and studied in the Immortal Palace, the senior sisters there truly had an ethereal aura, seeming like untouched and sacred goddesses, inspiring awe and admiration in him.

He had initially hoped to steer Ying Xuan in that direction, but alas… Forget it, he thought, letting go of the thought as it only brought tears.

With a sigh inwardly, Jiang Zhencang promptly adjusted his emotions and stood up with a solemn expression, proclaiming loudly, “The Contest for the Saint is a core strategy of Lingyun Sacred Land, aiming to select outstanding successors who could lead our Sacred Land to greater heights. All great Sky Prides of our Sacred Land are eligible to compete. The selection process must adhere to the principles of fairness, equity, and transparency.”

“The specific rules will be announced by the Transcendent Cloud Codex. Let us welcome the Transcendent Cloud Codex!”

Having said that, he stepped forward and formed a hand seal.

In the next moment, his aura uncontrollably surged, the imposing pressure of a Void Realm powerhouse rippling in waves, swiftly enveloping the entire Trial Hall.

The Divine Realm Enlightened Ones present immediately adopted a serious demeanor, while the mere Celestial Being Core Disciples turned pale, almost unable to stand. In fact, if not for the major brunt of the pressure being borne by the seniors in front, they might have all been unable to remain standing.

Simultaneously, a golden seal slowly emerged on Jiang Zhencang’s forehead.

With each burst of golden light, a lofty and pure Spirit breeze gushed forth from the seal, whistling through the trees like a high wind.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, a pristine jade codex gradually emerged from the seal, floating into the center of the Trial Hall.

The jade codex was flawless and covered in a flowing golden light, its aura profound and inscrutable, clearly the sacred item of Lingyun Sacred Land—the “Transcendent Cloud Codex.”

And atop the jade codex was a black-haired, red-dressed girl of lazy demeanor, who was yawning and stretching as if she had just woken up.

This girl was only half an arm’s length tall, her figure ethereal and slightly illusory, obviously the Artifact Spirit of the Transcendent Cloud Codex.

Everyone’s attention was captured by this scene.

After all, among the powerful beings present, apart from Big Chun and Peach Red Jade, the two Spirit Plants, no one had seen the Codex.

“Is this the Transcendent Cloud Codex?” Wang Shouzhe’s eyes, too, were filled with longing.

He had only seen fragments of the Golden Toad Codex, but such fragments and a complete Codex with inheritance functions were completely different things.

A complete Codex with inheritance was an extremely rare treasure in this world. Once one was qualified to inherit a Codex, there was a high probability of advancing to the Void Realm.
