Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 874 - 15 This is Unreasonable

The decision of these three to stop walking comes with great risks. As the Heavenly Demon Illusory Sound continually invades their minds, the feeling of lethargy will grow deeper and who knows, perhaps they will never be able to stand up again.

But to become the “Elder Changgeng limited edition chief disciple,” the three just silently resist the illusory sound, showing no intention of getting up.

Xu Yinglian released her Sword Light, staring at these three young people, and frowned as she spoke:

“Why stop?”

“Great-grandmother,” Xu Jin said indifferently, “Rest for a moment, we’ll proceed shortly.”

Xu Yinglian looked at her, then at Luo Chuan and Ge Juan, a sense of absurdity growing in her heart.

She has the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart, so she surely could guess the intention behind their actions, yet she found it utterly preposterous—since when has the title of chief disciple become so worthless?

But the rules of the Kunlun Sect do not prohibit resting on the path to ascension, so Xu Yinglian could only shake her head and sigh, proceeding to patrol down the mountain path.

With the first tier of competitors collectively lying down, the second tier quickly also arrived about a hundred steps from the finish line.

Seeing the three halt in their tracks, the six or seven people first showed shock, then joy, followed by puzzlement.

The shock arose because everyone knew there were three people ahead, but now they had all stopped in their tracks, which was very strange.

The joy was a subconscious thought: as long as I surpass them, wouldn’t I be able to claim the title of chief disciple?

The reason for puzzlement was more varied; some clever ones immediately deduced that being the chief disciple was less desirable than being Elder Changgeng’s disciple, and securing the first position might actually be a burden; while those not so quick to realize still noticed that none of the three showed signs of tiredness and could sense the reason they stopped was not due to exhaustion.

What could it be? Could there be an invisible air wall ahead that kills on contact?

With such anxious thoughts, amplified by the Heavenly Demon Illusory Sound, the people in the second tier also hesitated, not daring to proceed.

News reached the Kunlun Main Hall, and immediately there was a stir.

The elders really did not expect that after the first team botched it at the finish line, the second team would suffer the same fate!

Although everyone was unaware of what “broken window effect” meant, they all knew that the Heavenly Demon Illusory Sound was most intense at that spot.

The longer you linger, the higher the probability of falling astray, and the lower the probability of completing the ascension path.

If both major teams get trapped here, and those following behind also stop advancing, resulting in no one completing the ascension path this session, then the founding ceremony of Kunlun would truly become a joke!

Everyone quickly turned their gazes towards Qiu Changtian.

Qiu Changtian was perplexed: Why are you looking at me, can I urge them to hurry up?

Look towards the master!

The Ziwei Master coughed, drawing everyone’s attention, and felt a mixture of emotions himself.

Although this founding ceremony saw his face and influence overshadowed by his disciples, he wasn’t displeased.

Face? To cultivate a Kunlun cultivator as formidable as Changgeng, that is the greatest honor for him, the Ziwei Master!

Now it seems, with Changgeng forming an Immortal Infant of the first grade, he is likely to become the strongest Sect Leader in the history of the Kunlun Taiqing Sect… to think even Chi Song Immortal, initially had a Nascent Soul of lower quality than the Immortal Infant level!

Though the Ziwei Master’s strength is not weak, he couldn’t earn the title of the strongest among the historical Sect Leaders of Kunlun, but being the master of the strongest Sect Leader, isn’t that also an honor?

As for the benefits, they need not be mentioned.

Truthfully, the Ziwei Master himself was a bit lazy. While historical Sect Leaders lectured every five days, he did so every ten days; although historical Sect Leaders could not take care of all disciples, at least they took care of the Chief Disciples, but he just focused on lecturing and left all the inquiry sessions to the two Chief Disciples of Foundation Establishment Realm and Golden Core Realm, with only Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian receiving special attention.

Now that no one wishes to become the Chief Disciple of this generation and enter under his wing, he has assured himself some peace!

The Ziwei Master quickly signaled his subordinates with his eyes and promptly an elder of his lineage spoke up:

“Everyone, it has been thousands of years since Kunlun was established, that the Chief Disciple must be directly taught by the Sect Leader, maybe it’s time for a change?”

“You should know, the sooner one completes the ascension path, the more choices they have, but the first Chief Disciple who completes the path must choose the Sect Leader as a master, deprived of the right to choose any other elder—this is somewhat too harsh, isn’t it?”

This argument actually made little sense. As only the Direct Disciple of the Head of the Kunlun Sect could practice the “Nine Heavens Clear Entrance True Mantra”, the position of being a disciple of the Kunlun Sect Leader has always been highly sought after.

The Head of the Kunlun Sect naturally could not accept everyone who personally requested to be their disciple, it also depended on observing the individual’s temperament, talent, and family background… If the Sect Leader’s character was flawed, only accepting disciples based on connections, then even high talent would be of no use.

The rule that “the Chief Disciple must be directly taught by the Sect Leader” is essentially a safety policy. It means that as long as you can secure the position of Chief Disciple, you don’t need to worry about losing the opportunity to become a Direct Disciple due to an unstable temperament, insufficient talent, poor familial background, or the Sect Leader being in a bad mood from not having onion oil noodles for breakfast—It’s nature is to protect outstanding talents, not to restrict them.

But now the situation is such that no one wants to be the Chief Disciple; they all only wish to be disciples of Elder Changgeng, leading to no one wanting to be the first.

Thus, although the elders each had their own unspoken complaints, none voiced them, just silently nodding their heads.

“Hmm, it’s indeed time for a change,” the Ziwei Master indifferently remarked, “I’ll go consult the Immortal.”
