Chapter 140: The Young Master Becomes the Young Sect Leader?! And Successfully Adds a Friend!

“The Sect Leader’s praise is too much,” Meng Changqing said humbly.

Indeed, at his age, possessing sword intent was truly an extraordinary feat.

“No need to be humble. If you are a light, you should shine brightly. Your future path will continue to be so,” Xi Yingqing said with a smile.

Then, he stepped forward and rose into the air above the training grounds. At this moment, only the three major forces and the people of Wanxiang Pavilion had left. The other invited forces were still present.

“Next, I have an announcement,” Xi Yingqing said, standing with his hands behind his back.

Everyone immediately looked up, very curious about what Xi Yingqing was going to say. After all, what could be more important than the promotion of the sect? And the sect’s promotion had already been announced by Wanxiang Pavilion.

“From now on, Meng Changqing will be the successor of this sect, the Young Sect Leader of the Tai Xuan Sect!”

As these words fell, gasps of astonishment echoed everywhere.

The Young Sect Leader! The successor of a first-grade sect! What power and status this title held, equivalent to the future ruler of a region!

“Elder, did we hear wrong? The Young Master has become the Young Sect Leader of Tai Xuan Sect?” a member of the Meng family couldn’t help but ask, his face full of disbelief.

“You heard right!” The elder of the family was trembling with excitement.

He swore that in his nearly hundred years of life, he had never experienced a day as thrilling as today. The Young Sect Leader of Tai Xuan Sect! What kind of ancestral blessings were needed to create such a situation?

He seemed to see the family becoming a major clan in Tianling Prefecture!

“Calm down!” The third elder of the Meng family coughed lightly, pretending to be calm. But his hands were trembling under his sleeves.

On the high platform, the prodigies were also in shock. The news was too sudden, catching them completely off guard. Moreover, in their minds, the successor was always…

Instinctively, everyone looked at Han Luoyu.

Han Luoyu’s lips were slightly pursed, but he showed little expression. He knew that his master had never groomed him as a successor but purely as a disciple.

If his master had chosen someone similar to him today, he would have fought for it. But with Meng Changqing’s demonstrated potential and strength, which were far beyond his own, he had no complaints.

With this in mind, Han Luoyu clasped his hands in salute to Meng Changqing. “Greetings to the Young Sect Leader!”

Seeing Han Luoyu’s stance, the others had no dissent and also bowed in respect. Instantly, the three words “Young Sect Leader” echoed throughout the Tai Xuan Sect.

Meng Changqing was a bit stunned by the rapid development, which was unexpected.

“In fact, when you entered the inner sect, the sect had already arranged this,” Mo Shukuang said with a smile.

“Entered the inner sect?” Meng Changqing was puzzled, then understood.

It must have been when he had sword qi at the Apperture Connecting Realm.

“Then why…” Meng Changqing wanted to ask why, if there was already such an intention, he had been mostly ignored all along.

With proper resources, he wouldn’t be at the second level of the Dao Creation Realm today. He might have reached the ninth level.

“The details will be explained to you by the Sect Leader later,” Mo Shukuang seemed to know what Meng Changqing was thinking.

“Alright,” Meng Changqing nodded, then looked towards Mo Xiaoyu not far away.

The moment their eyes met, Mo Xiaoyu shivered, looking around nervously.

Seeing this, Meng Changqing smiled slightly and walked over. “Well, little genius, are you going to keep your promise?”

“Hmph!” Mo Xiaoyu knew she couldn’t avoid it, pouting angrily. “I didn’t expect you to be so powerful, but thanks to you, our sect was saved today! I, Mo Xiaoyu, will keep my promise and be your friend from now on!”

【Ding! Successfully added Mo Xiaoyu as a friend!】

【Current favorability: one star!】

【Attributes to be selected.】

【Triggered extra reward: three Earth-grade martial arts proficiency cards!】

The system’s voice echoed in Meng Changqing’s mind, bringing a smile to his face.

Not bad. He finally made this girl a friend, and there was an extra reward. He was in need of proficiency cards, especially for martial arts he still needed, like the “Emperor’s Heavenly Treasure” from the Shi brothers.

If he could get it from their master, it would be even better. The proficiency far exceeded that of the Shi brothers. However, a peak master-level person couldn’t be befriended as easily as the Guardian Elder. But having the thought was important.

Who knows, it might come true one day. These peak masters were treasures. Any attribute from them could greatly increase his strength!

“The innate sword body, finally got it,” Meng Changqing’s smile grew wider. This was something he had always wanted. Oh, and he needed to get the “Overlord Meridian” as well.

People were truly greedy. Once they get something, they want more.

“Hey, is it really worth being so happy just because I agreed to be your friend?” Mo Xiaoyu’s eyes flickered, and her cheeks blushed slightly at Meng Changqing’s ‘sincere’ smile.

“Of course,” Meng Changqing didn’t think much about it.

He just wanted to go back and select the attributes and fuse them.

Satisfied with the answer, Mo Xiaoyu turned away, her big eyes flickering with unknown thoughts.

“Alright, the martial arts competition is over. Everyone, disperse. The ranking rewards will be distributed by the sect later,” Mo Shukuang announced.

The so-called ranking was actually the stage rewards.

“Yes,” all the disciples responded and began to leave, as did the peak masters.

“As for you, stay here. The Sect Leader should have more to say to you,” Mo Shukuang said, then left with Mo Xiaoyu.

Soon, Xi Yingqing appeared.

“Sect Leader,” Meng Changqing cupped his hands slightly.

“The Meng family is here today. I have informed them to meet you at Spirit Peak. Go and chat with your family first. Afterward, come to the Sect Leader’s hall to see me,” Xi Yingqing said with a smile.

“Yes,” Meng Changqing nodded.

In the next moment, Xi Yingqing disappeared from sight. It wasn’t just fast speed. He completely vanished, as if he had been extracted from this space.

“This is the Sect Leader’s power,” Meng Changqing’s eyes flickered.

It was said that the higher the realm, the more the essence of cultivation changed, shifting from oneself to the laws of heaven and earth. Perhaps the Sect Leader had reached this level!

“Heaven and Earth laws,” Meng Changqing murmured, then shook his head.

It was still a distant concept for him.

In the coming time, he needed to focus on cultivation and first reach the Divine Attainment Realm. The Spiritual Hidden Treasure! This was the most mysterious and powerful hidden treasure of the human body!
