Chapter 635: Chapter 368: New Chaos Origin and Unexpected Events_4
"The sect leader failed the tribulation!"
"What?"
"Not long ago, the sect leader came out of seclusion to undergo the Profound Immortal Tribulation, but failed during the Heart Demon Tribulation, perishing completely!"
"Ah..."
Su Yu was utterly shocked and asked:
"The sect leader should have been well-prepared for the tribulation, even if he failed, there should have been ways to save his life, how could he be completely destroyed?"
Ye Lingfeng, equally puzzled, said:
"In theory, that’s true, but in reality, when the sect leader failed the Heart Demon Tribulation, his Primordial Spirit collapsed, and none of the life-saving methods were used."
"Hmm..."
"So what’s the decision within the sect now? When will the new sect leader be elected?"
"Hard to say, the hall masters and several Supreme Elders are currently discussing the election of a new sect leader, but there’s bad news for you, according to the sect rules, the new sect leader needs to visit Taoyuan Cave on Mount Jiuhua in the Dongsheng Shenzhou to meet the ancestor, this means the time to go to Taoyuan Cave for training will be moved up, you are not yet a direct disciple, so you probably won’t have the chance this time."
"What?"
"There’s such a rule?"
"This is the rule for all branches of the Three Teachings."
Su Yu was speechless.
"So do I have to wait another hundred years?"
"Yes."
"Damn."
Su Yu couldn’t help but curse under his breath.
Are you kidding me, just when I was about to apply to be a direct disciple, the sect leader fails the tribulation.
Waiting another hundred years, even if I spend ten thousand years in the Chaos Pearl, I’d be at least at the Profound Immortal level, and probably would have cultivated to Golden Immortal by then, what’s the point of going to Mount Jiuhua at that time?
Su Yu was speechless for a while, then asked:
"Is there no other way?"
Ye Lingfeng shook his head and said:
"No, unless your master becomes the sect leader."
Su Yu’s eyes lit up immediately, but before he could speak, Ye Lingfeng interrupted him:
"Don’t even think about it, even if I were to undergo the tribulation and advance to True Immortal right now, there wouldn’t be a chance."
"Alright."
The plan couldn’t keep up with changes, the original plan is scrapped, I need to make a new plan.
"I definitely can’t spend over a hundred years just staying home cultivating, it’s just as well that my plan to join the Celestial Court can proceed now."
Joining the Celestial Court is also a path, though starting not as Guang Chengzi’s Golden Immortal disciple might be a disadvantage, it doesn’t matter much in the end, since strength is what matters, and after all he comes from a branch of the Zhào sect, having ability still allows one to stand out.
Thinking of this, he said to Ye Lingfeng:
"If that’s the case, then I’ll wait for the next century. Before that, I’m planning to join the Celestial Court, see if I can earn some immortal merits."
Ye Lingfeng nodded and said:
"That’s indeed a good path, our sect being a branch of Zhào, as long as you can demonstrate your strength and ability, rising in rank shouldn’t be too difficult."
Agreeing with his master, Su Yu stayed in the sect another three months, waiting for the sect leader’s funeral to finish and the new sect leader to be elected, then he bid farewell to his master and left the sect.
He headed straight for Celestial Pillar Mountain, and then contacted Jin Chi.
"Brother Jin Chi, I’m here again."
Jin Chi, handling official duties, saw the message and smiled slightly, casually replying:
"Does General Su need my assistance?"
"Little brother wants to ask how to join the Celestial Court."
"??? You’re joining the Celestial Court now? Not going to Mount Jiuhua’s Taoyuan Cave?"
Su Yu sighed and explained the situation within the sect to him.
Jin Chi listened and was speechless for a while.
"You’re quite unlucky."
Su Yu shrugged and said:
"No choice, the next chance is a hundred years later, no, to be precise it’s a hundred and twenty-three years later, I can’t just wait around, so I might as well join the Celestial Court for service now."
"Hmm, makes sense."
"Being a disciple of the Profound Clarity Upper Sect, joining the Celestial Court is quite simple, just open the channel and apply directly, every day there are Immortal Officials reviewing applications, if you meet the criteria they’ll contact you for an interview, and upon passing the interview you can join the Celestial Court."
"For cultivators without backgrounds, the starting position is a temp job, you being from a Zhào sect branch have some background, so you can directly become a regular member."
"However, before entering the Celestial Court, you must carefully consider which path to take, so you don’t regret it and find it hard to change later."
Su Yu immediately asked:
"Please advise me, Brother Jin."
