Chapter 1402: Chapter 750: Paying Respects_3 Chapter 1402: Chapter 750: Paying Respects_3 During the conversation, Chen Mobai also went all out and directly took out a Water Spirit Pearl for Wen Ren Xuewei to help transfer. Seeing his generosity in giving away a hundred million just like that, she was also stunned in shock.
“Alright, I will definitely convey this to the headmaster.”
Wen Ren Xuewei also understood what Chen Mobai meant; he wanted to exchange the pearl for the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations. However, it was the first time she had heard of someone opening up relations with a hundred million upfront before doing business.
The two then talked about some matters regarding the turnover period of the Immortal Gate. The main point for both their lines was to support each other, ensuring that their own people are not excluded during this power transition by Kunpeng and Patching Heaven looking for excuses.
However, this time because Ying Guanghua was taking over as the Head of Immortal Affairs, a group of direct descendants from Hall of Orthodox Law will inevitably be taken with him. Consequently, positions must be cleared in Xianwu Hall for these direct descendants to take over.
The individuals that were to be cleared out were a source of friction among the four lineages.
Naturally, Ying Guanghua wanted to clear out people not from Patching Heaven’s lineage and negotiate with the other three lineages by asking their people to step down voluntarily and then vacate positions within Hall of Orthodox Law or Kaiyuan Hall as compensation.
Amongst them, Kunpeng was powerful, so the positions and seats offered by Patching Heaven were somewhat better. Dance Tool Dao Academy and Jumang were weaker and might be at a disadvantage.
But that was still nothing compared to the public officers not among the four lineages, who felt this turnover conference was like a storm; if they were not mindful, they would already be dispatched outside of Imperial City, forced to vacate their positions.
These people naturally wanted to struggle, so they would turn to the four lineages to seek protection and so on.
And Chen Mobai and Wen Ren Xuewei, the ones in charge, would choose people who were useful to themselves, weigh the pros and cons, and consider whether they needed to accept their allegiances, using their lineage’s interests to exchange with Patching Heaven, to protect these people.
Every personnel change nearly set off a chain reaction, which is exactly why Chen Mobai needed to come early, to start sorting and weighing the overall situation under the guidance of Wang Shuye.
Compared to him, Wen Ren Xuewei was a bit lazier, believing that whatever was lost would eventually return once she achieved Nascent Soul Formation. Therefore, the Jumang Lineage only planned to protect their own people.
In discussing these matters with her, while being open yet concealing certain things, Chen Mobai also made deductions on the future structure of The Three Great Halls, ensuring their two lineages wouldn’t suffer too great of losses during this turnover period.
Time quickly reached the day of the turnover.
In the great hall of Kaiyuan Hall, more than three hundred council members eligible to attend the conference entered one by one and took their designated seats.
Soon, except for the seating for the main and deputy heads representing The Three Great Halls and a few front row seats, almost everyone had arrived.
Shortly after, the deputy heads of Immortal Affairs and Kaiyuan Hall also emerged from a side door and took their seats on the farthest left and right sides of the podium.
Following Gongye Zhixu and Ye Yun’e, a flash of silver light, and the white-haired and white-eyebrowed Narcissus sage appeared out of thin air, taking a seat next to Ye Yun’e.
After the three deputy heads on the podium, the crowd’s gaze then turned to the first row.
Quickly, flashes of silver light sparkled, and Yuan Xu, Qing Ping, and Mei Hua, the three Nascent Soul Cultivators from Patching Heaven lineage, appeared and took their seats in the front row.
Following these three, two more flashes of silver light shone, and the headmaster of Kunpeng Daoist Institute, Beiming Ascendant, along with Yunhai Shangren from Nature Studies Academy, appeared soon after. The latter also had studied at Kunpeng Daoist Institute and had even been to the Sea Territory for cultivation, so he was considered part of the Kunpeng lineage.
After the Nascent Soul Superiors appeared, the members of the Kaiyuan Hall Rotating Committee sharing the row with them all rose to greet them.
Included among them was Wang Shuye.
“It seems Cheng Xuan and the others couldn’t make it. It looks like it’s just us four this time.”
The speaker was Beiming Ascendant, a formidable middle-aged man with a broad shoulder and deep-set eyes, his entire demeanor stern and serious. Clearly, he was a highly rule-abiding and awe-inspiring powerful figure.
Among the headmasters of the Four Great Daoist Sects, he was the youngest and also had the highest level of cultivation.
“The master is in seclusion and can’t be cloned, and Yuxiao Superior doesn’t like to leave home, so neither came.”
Wang Shuye explained, and Beiming Ascendant nodded in response, accepting this explanation, then turned his gaze towards Nie Tinglan, the official from Jumang Academy.
“Peach Blossom Sage and Sanjue also didn’t attend; it seems Dance Instruments and Jumang have no plans to make a move this time.”
Hearing this, Nie Tinglan responded with a light smile and offered a similar excuse of being busy with seclusion.
Nascent Soul Superiors in Immortal Gate held a transcendent status; even for such a conference, their attendance depended on their mood.
Under the circumstances of being without desires or needs, the Nascent Soul Superiors from both lineages did not appear at this turnover conference, signaling they were leaving Patching Heaven and Kunpeng to fuss by themselves.
They were waiting for the millennium when their own two candidates for Divinity Transformation would emerge!
“Sometimes, placing hopes in the future is a lack of confidence in one’s current strength. Without a firm grasp on the present, Cheng Xuan’s breakthrough this time might not necessarily be successful!”
Beiming Ascendant suddenly uttered these words, causing Wang Shuye’s face to change color. Still, faced with the questioning of a Nascent Soul Superior, he could only pretend he hadn’t heard and chuckled awkwardly before preparing to return to his seat.
“That Chen Mobai from your Dance Tool Dao Academy has come this time, right? Which one is he?”
