An Ordinary Path to Immortality

Fang Ping's proposal was too sudden after all. Meng Qi said that he would look through ancient books and make a decision after returning.

Fang Ping also knew that Meng Qi would not agree to such a thing so easily.

After all, the matter was of great importance. The inheritance of Yuansheng and the five elements rules were not ordinary spiritual objects, but a great opportunity.

If he really accepted it, he would have to take on this huge cause and effect.

Meng Qi, who had five elements spiritual roots, did not think that he was a genius, nor did he have lofty ambitions. Even now that he had formed a pill, he still felt confused about the future.

He had never thought that one day he would carry the lives of billions of creatures in the entire Yuanling Continent on his shoulders.

Talking and arguing, when this opportunity and cause and effect were really placed in front of him, Meng Qi still hesitated.

Fang Ping did not force him, nor was he disappointed.

The fact that Meng Qi did not let the opportunity overwhelm him and directly accepted the five elements rules and the inheritance of Yuansheng was enough to explain many problems.

Anyway, he was not going to leave for a while, so he let Meng Qi think about it for a while.

In fact, although Fang Ping had inherited the Yuansheng inheritance and knew that the combination of multiple spiritual roots and the Demon-Breaking Talisman could cause great damage to the altar.

But he did not take this responsibility to heart at all.

It was not until Zhang Ren saw the heinous crimes committed by the evil-minded demon cultivators against mortals in the Tiansha Sect that he gradually felt that he seemed to have to do something for everyone on this continent.

Although he had no power to protect them from the demon chaos, he planted a seed to the best of his ability. When the storm came, the towering tree transformed by the seed could also shelter them from the wind and rain.

He and Meng Qi found Ye Chang and others together. Everyone sat down in the pavilion on the top of the mountain. San Xiao was responsible for boiling water and making tea, listening to everyone talking and laughing.

They talked about the demon chaos from the distant Qiyun Mountains, from their respective cultivation experiences to the feelings of the six people and three pairs of Taoist companions, and finally inevitably talked about Ye Chang and the Holy Son.

Then, except for Fang Ping and Luo Yun, Ye Chang and the other four gave the same evaluation of the contemporary Holy Son.

What narrow-minded, vindictive, cruel, hypocritical, bullying, and quick success, etc., it seems that apart from having good cultivation qualifications, there is nothing good about him.

Ye Chang's qualifications are not inferior to his. At the same time, he is upright, righteous, heroic, mature, steady, decisive, capable and open-minded...

In short, Ye Chang is the best candidate for the position of the Holy Son and the only good match for the Holy Girl.

The high-level officials of the Immortal Sect are naturally not blind. Many people in the sect don't like the character of the Holy Son and think that his ability is not enough to be the head of the Immortal Sect.

It's just that the Holy Son has a special innate physique and is a rare cultivation genius.

In addition, the Holy Son has an extraordinary background and many forces behind him are supporting him, so they chose to remain silent.

However, when Ye Chang, whose cultivation aptitude was not weaker than the Saint Son's before, and whose character and personality were far superior, appeared, and Ye Chang seemed to be at odds with the Saint Son and was interested in the Saint Son's position, they began to support Ye Chang in either an open or a secret way.

"More than a dozen Yuanying elders have taken the initiative to express their goodwill to me." Ye Chang told Fang Ping about his situation without any concealment: "It is not ruled out that some people are betting on both sides, but most of them said that if I want to compete for the position of the Saint Son, they will support me."

Su Jin added: "It's a pity that the forces behind the Saint Son are still strong. Many Yuanying elders in the sect and the forces behind them are too deeply involved with the Saint Son, so it is difficult to win them over."

The Saint Son originally came from a big family. When he became the Saint Son and had no competitors for a long time, the Yuanying elders in the Xianzong and the forces behind them were naturally very willing to cooperate with the Saint Son.

Now that Ye Chang has appeared, it is very likely to destroy the conflict of interests between them. This leads to the fact that no matter whether they despise the Saint Son or really appreciate Ye Chang, they have to choose to continue to support the Saint Son for the sake of family interests.

"This is a bit difficult. What do the high-level leaders of the Xianzong mean, such as the Xianzong leader and the incarnation masters?" Fang Ping asked.

Hongluan rushed to reply: "They must have disagreements, otherwise, Brother Ye Chang would not have been accepted as a closed disciple by the incarnation master just after joining the sect."

"It is said that because of the matter of the Holy Son, the incarnation masters are also very unhappy." Meng Qi said uncertainly.

"It is indeed very unhappy. The master has been in a cold war with the leader for a year." Su Jin smiled bitterly.

Her master is the previous generation of the Holy Maiden and the wife of the Xianzong leader.

As a holy maiden, she always felt that the Holy Son was not worthy of Su Jin. In the past, due to the face of the sect, she would occasionally talk to Su Jin, hoping that she would change her mind.

When Ye Chang appeared, she directly and clearly supported her own disciple.

"What is the strength of the Holy Son? Do you have the confidence to defeat him?" Fang Ping asked.

"The Holy Son is still powerful. He has good qualifications, and he has the support of various forces behind him. If we fight fairly, it is hard to say who will win or lose.

However, if we rely only on reputation and public opinion, ten Holy Sons are not my opponent.

After entering the Immortal Sect, I have competed with him in all kinds of big and small matters, and we have won and lost.

In general, I lost in my foundation and accumulated connections, and he lost in his character and ability."

Ye Chang smiled when he spoke, seemingly confident, but actually pretending.

"Master, since we are here, let's give you a gift first. If you have conflicts with the Holy Son in the future, Master, please tell us in time, maybe we can help."

Fang Ping handed the jade slip that Elder Gu had given to Fang Ping to Ye Chang.

"This is... Gu Mingtang, the head of the Gu Hall?" Ye Chang looked at Fang Ping with surprise.

Fang Ping smiled and told Ye Chang that he, Luo Yun and Elder Gu had fought against the demon cultivators together, and that Elder Gu had asked him to help carry a letter.

"You are my benefactor, Fang Ping, for helping me in my time of need." Ye Chang happily put away the jade slip. Facing the curious eyes of Su Jin, Hong Luan and Meng Qi, Ye Chang explained:

"Gu Mingtang, the head of the Discipline Hall, is really powerful. He is enough to rank in the top ten among the many Nascent Soul cultivators of the Immortal Sect."

Su Jin and others nodded. They knew about Gu Mingtang. He was not only powerful, but also upright and incorruptible. He hated evil. Even if the Holy Son made a mistake and was caught by him, he would punish him directly without mercy.

Gu Mingtang had always turned a blind eye to their dispute over the Holy Son.

Because he controls the Discipline Hall, a very important hall in the Immortal Sect. If he can get the support of the other party, he will have a great advantage in the competition for the Holy Son.

Gu Mingtang always sneered when facing the two people's attempts to win over him.

Unexpectedly, Fang Ping brought a letter from Gu Mingtang's younger brother as soon as he arrived.

In this way, Ye Chang has another opportunity to get closer to Gu Mingtang.

If it is operated properly, it is not impossible to directly recruit Ye Chang into the Discipline Hall and let Ye Chang return to his old business in Qiyun Sect.

Hearing that it was Hall Master Gu, Meng Qi interrupted and said, "Brother Ye Chang, if it is really Hall Master Gu's letter, then I also have news about Hall Master Gu. If Brother Ye Chang uses it well, it should not be difficult to get Hall Master Gu's support, at least let Hall Master Gu owe you a favor."
