"Moreover, if one can acquire any of the eighteen fruit positions, it can enhance their cultivation. I have confirmed this with Brother Chen, and it is true!"
"Hiss?! Itâs actually true?!"
Hearing Li Daoranâs affirmation, everyone was shocked.
These fruit positions come from the great Heavenly Venerateâs bestowal, given as some sort of reward mechanism by the Heavenly Dao, after a cultivator becomes a Heavenly Venerate!
For a long time, no one had achieved the Heavenly Venerate level in the Wuxiang realm. The only one who did so recently was Emperor Song.
But Emperor Song belonged to the Demon Path. Logically speaking, even if he became a Heavenly Venerate, the opportunities created by him should be shared by those in the Demon Path. The Righteous path should not be involved at all.
Therefore, it was reasonable for everyone to not think of this.
"Yes, it indeed is true!" Li Daoran nodded again, then looked at everyone, saying:
"The Ancestor and I have decided to select some disciples from the Sect to give it a try to see if we can seize one or two opportunities."
Finally, Li Daoran changed his tone and asked:
"I donât know if any of you have any questions about this. If you do, feel free to speak freely."
This?
Hearing Li Daoranâs words, everyone at the scene fell silent. Undoubtedly, this was a significant opportunity.
"But Sect Leader Elder Brother, I have a doubt."
At this time, a peak master in the crowd raised a hand.
"Brother Shitian, if you have any questions, feel free to ask." Li Daoran glanced at him and found it was a peak master of a sub-peak and asked.
Peak Master Shitian asked:
"Sect Leader Elder Brother, as you said, this Universal Virtue Fruit Position stems from Emperor Song."
"Everyone knows that Emperor Song is from Rebirth Hall."
"What I want to ask is, if we take these opportunities, wonât it give outsiders the impression that we have some entanglement with Rebirth Hall?"
"Yes, Sect Leader Elder Brother. If we obtain this Universal Virtue Position, would we thereby incur karma with the Rebirth Hall?"
As soon as Peak Master Shitian spoke, it resonated with everyone present.
This was unavoidable, given the current sensitivity of the Wuxiang realm. Relations between the Righteous and Demon Path could break at any time.
In such circumstances, what would others think if they were to compete for a Universal Virtue Position spot?
No matter how you put it, it would seem inappropriate.
Moreover, if they remembered correctly, there was currently a rift between Tianshui Sect and Emperor Song.
In this situation, hurrying to grab the Universal Virtue Positions seems inappropriate.
Li Daoran explained: "Rest assured, brothers, the Universal Virtue Position is a Heavenly Dao position and has nothing to do with any faction. Even if we claim it, the world wonât hold it against us."
"Furthermore, Brother Chen also agrees with this. Chenâs idea is to let us go ahead and vie for it, without worrying too much."
"I see. Thank you for your guidance, Sect Leader Elder Brother," everyone nodded in enlightenment after hearing Li Daoranâs words.
As long as this matter has nothing to do with Rebirth Hall, itâs alright. And most importantly, this has received Chen Changâanâs approval.
Since Chen Changâan has agreed, there is nothing to worry about.
"Then Sect Leader Elder Brother, what is the purpose of calling us here?" someone asked again.
"To select the disciples to participate." Li Daoran gazed into the distance as he replied.
