Chapter 624: Preparation for the Mastership

The immortals who had surrendered to the universe were extremely envious. Not only did the moral immortals obtain heavenly status, they also received the favor of the sects. They did not need to work hard to collect various resources themselves, and the sects also provided them with various opportunities, which was simply feeding them food.

They are all celestial beings who have returned to the universe. The moral celestial beings are naturally their enviable role models. They dream of getting such an opportunity. Moreover, they are not in the Eight Desolations Universe, so naturally they don’t know what the moral celestial beings have become.

The immortals in the Eight Desolate Universe are different. Especially the immortals in the sects all know what the Immortal of Morality is like now. They can't understand why the sects should support the Immortal of Morality so much. It is too unfair.

Unfortunately, although there was a lot of dissatisfaction in their hearts, the immortals in the sect did not dare to say anything. It would be fine if they complained a few times, but if the elders in the sect really found out, they would be punished, because it was considered as resentment towards the sect, and the result would be very miserable.

However, not complaining does not mean accepting such a result. It's just that the immortals in the sect don't have much say. Only the Golden Immortals and Taiyi have the right to speak. Since they don't speak, the immortals can only endure it in secret.

Compared with other Taoist sects, the moral immortals of the ten major sects performed slightly better. At least this group of moral immortals knew how to unite the immortals of the sects. As soon as they entered the battleship, they began to visit everywhere and vaguely formed an alliance with each other.

The Luotian Immortal Sect is the only Taoist sect that has not sent a moral immortal to the warship. Of course, sects like the Luofu Sect, which does not even have a moral immortal, are definitely not included. The Luofu Sect has also been the target of discussion because of this matter.

The reason why the Luotian Immortal Sect did not send the Moral Immortals to the Universe Domain was naturally because there were not enough places. In addition, one of Chen Lei's clones returned with him, so Sect Leader Tiange immediately held down the Moral Immortals and asked them to accept the tasks issued by the Heavenly Court, or even go to the Eight Desolate Heavens to find tasks to accumulate merit.

Xuanyoutian, the residence of Master Tiange.

All of the Taiyi-level clones of Luotian Immortal Sect, except for the Natural Disaster Demon God, are present. Even Zhao Hao sent his clone here. His clone is still the God of Longevity, while the original body is still in seclusion, but it seems like he will be out soon.

"Something's going to happen," Chen Lei's clone rubbed his head as he looked at the people sitting there. "During this shift, a group of moral immortals were too noisy. Many of them formed cliques and factions, and some of them even wanted to take a light battleship to explore the universe."

"It's a small matter," You Daozun said disapprovingly, "They are just a group of celestial beings. If they disobey the rules, there will naturally be military regulations in the Heavenly Court. They will be punished accordingly. Even the ten great immortal sects probably wouldn't dare to conceal it."

"Then you are wrong," Yan Xun said, "As far as I know, many things have been concealed. If you think about it, you will know that the battleships are all under the control of various major immortal sects, the most obvious of which are the Ten Great Immortal Sects."

The Ten Great Immortal Sects had previously obtained three hundred warships to supplement the central army, and they also acted as the vanguard of the central army during the exploration of the universe. The three hundred warships were all filled with people from the Ten Great Immortal Sects, including generals and commanders.

The expeditionary force explored the universe for a long time without stopping. They did not regret to the Heavenly Court and the Eight Desolate Universe, so naturally they had less reverence. They were bold enough to do some extraordinary things, and no one found out. Even everyone did it, and gradually they got used to it. The sect would even help cover it up for the sake of profit.

"Master uncle is right. Not only did he help cover up a lot, but as far as I know, the Heavenly Court has also obtained a lot of evidence." Chen Lei said, "That's why I don't agree with the moral immortals going there, so as not to be involved in the vortex."

The deeper meaning is that the Moral Immortal represents the fortune of the sect. If any one of them is involved, it will easily cause a chain reaction. If the Moral Immortals of the Luotian Sect are involved, and any one of them has problems, the Luotian Sect cannot afford it.

"Senior Brother Chen is right," Zhao Hao, the birthday boy, said openly, "Since the Moral Immortals are prone to disasters, it is better for them to stay in the sect. They can go out only after they have accumulated enough merits. The ten major sects are still too impatient."

"They have to be impatient," Jiang Youning said, "I heard that because of Fairy Yunxi's matter, there are complaints among the ten great sects. Coupled with the matter of Qiyun Fruition, the relationship between the ten great sects has been fluctuating."

"Who knows if it's just a rumor," Chen Lei shook his head. "Anyway, we don't need to worry too much about it. We just need to do our job well and take each step steadily. I came back for another reason, which is for the new expeditionary force."

"A new expeditionary force?" Everyone looked at him.

"Yes," Chen Lei's clone nodded, "Heaven has prepared the western and eastern armies, two fleets, each with 500 warships. I hope our sect can make the general's plan work."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to surpass Concubine Mei," Tiange Sect Leader shook his head. "Concubine Mei is the Chief Commander. It's impossible for the Heavenly Court to have two Chief Commanders of the Expeditionary Force."

"It can be one deputy, or two deputy commanders," Chen Lei's clone said, "We can't compete with Mei Tianfei, but we have Pei Dong'er and Li Yueli, two Tianfeis, and they don't have much power."

"Pei Tianfei has a star gate," You Daozun said, "If she becomes the deputy commander, it would be appropriate. She is suitable for the job. The key is Li Tianfei. I'm afraid she doesn't like fighting and killing. But she can send a clone to the warship."

"You don't need to ask Li Tianfei, you can use her name," Chen Lei's clone said, "Emperor Hongluan is the master of the Daluo Universe, and the headmaster is already in the middle of the army. This time I hope Junior Brother Jiang Youning will take action."

"Me?" Jiang Youning looked at him in surprise.

"That's right," Chen Lei's clone nodded, "You represent Li Tianfei, and together with Pei Tianfei, each of you will be in charge of a large army. Only then can we fight against Mei Tianfei and Kong Guang. At least we won't lose too much."

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

The Luotian Immortal Sect was indeed very powerful, but the rise of the Luofu Sect made the Luotian Immortal Sect feel tremendous pressure. Especially after the emergence of Mei Tianfei, the Luofu Sect seemed to have a backer, and it became increasingly difficult to resist.

The key point is that the Luofu Sect exploded and the number of Taiyi increased dramatically. It was nothing like the Luotian Immortal Sect, which seemed to have exhausted all its luck. The number of Taiyi was not large, especially the number of young Taiyi, which was very hard to accept.

"What do you think, Junior Brother Jiang?" Chen Lei continued to ask.

"Of course I thought about it, but I am now a town envoy," Jiang Youning groaned, "I don't have any achievements to show for myself, let alone commanding a warship. I am completely inexperienced. It would be better if I could let my master and mistress come with me."

"Okay," Master Tiange said with a smile, "Then let's get started as soon as possible. Let's go find Li Tianfei first, and then ask Pei Tianfei about the situation. If we can defeat the two armies, it will be of great significance to our Luotian Immortal Sect. Who knows, a new Golden Immortal will be born."

Forget about Taiyi. Even if an immortal golden immortal holds a lot of innate energy, it is not so easy to be promoted to Taiyi. The so-called step of Golden Immortal being promoted to Taiyi is just a simple maturation of the Tao Fruit, but this step cannot be helped by external forces at all.

Unless it is a cosmic treasure born in the universe, a treasure of the same level as the Stele of Destruction, otherwise, the pure innate energy can only greatly increase the magical powers of the Golden Immortal, but cannot improve the Taoism or break through the realm.

The meeting did not end immediately. In addition to the main business, there were many trivial matters, such as the allocation of resources within the Luotian Immortal Sect, personnel screening, future planning for the Moral Immortals, and people who would take over the Luotian Immortal Sect.

That’s right, Sect Leader Tiange no longer wants to be the Sect Leader. He had expressed this intention before the expeditionary force was dispatched. Now he wants to unload the burden and will practice hard and teach his disciples in the future.

After a simple vote, Chen Lei became the most favorable candidate for the future. This means that after Tiange stepped down as the headmaster, Chen Lei would be the headmaster of Luotian Xianmen. After all, Chen Lei has outstanding abilities and is also very smart.

This matter was settled. For a long time in the future, Sect Leader Tiange would train Chen Lei, and Yan Xun, You Daozun and others would also assist him. As for whether they wanted to be the Sect Leader, that was actually not important.

Because everyone is Taiyi, if Chen Lei does not perform well, he will naturally be removed. Besides, You Daozun knows his own abilities, and he lost points because of the Ten Great Immortal Sects' plan for Fairy Yun Xi and the warships, so he naturally lost his qualifications. As for Yan Xun, he is not as good as Chen Lei in leading the army.

This is also normal. Yan Xun and You Daozun are both from the Iron Sword lineage. Their personalities and paths of cultivation are destined to have nothing to do with the position of the head sect, and the two are not compatible. On the contrary, Chen Lei has a calm temperament, reserved wisdom, and a sense of the overall situation. Such a person is the most suitable to be the head sect.

After the meeting, Sect Leader Tiange informed Luotian Immortal Sect that the six major sects would keep an eye on Chen Lei and judge his behavior for a long time in the future to decide whether he could take over as Sect Leader.

Speaking of which, excluding Fu Yunzi, Chen Lei is the true new generation leader of Luotian Xianmen after it joined the Heavenly Court. After all, Leader Tiange is Fu Yunzi's master and belongs to the previous generation. Luotian Xianmen does need a brand new leader to lead the sect to continue its vigorous development.

Half a year later, Baihua Palace.

Pei Dong'er came to visit Baihua Palace. The two had a close relationship and there was no barrier between them. It was called a visit, but it was just an ordinary walk, but this time Pei Dong'er came with a purpose.

"The sect has already sent a message, asking Chen Lei to take over Luotian Immortal Sect. The announcement will probably be made hundreds or thousands of years later." Pei Dong'er said.

"That's great!" Li Yueli said with a smile, "Senior Brother Chen is a genius of the same generation as us. He has outstanding abilities and leadership skills. I believe he can lead Luotian Xianmen to create a new world."

"Then do you know that he was also the one pushing the two of us to take over the two new expeditionary forces?" Pei Dong'er said unhappily, "He hasn't even taken over Luotian Xianmen yet, but he's already started arranging plans for the two of us. He's really ambitious."

"For the sake of the sect, I can understand." Li Yueli chuckled, "I have agreed anyway, and I don't have to show up in person, it's just in my name."

"Have you told the Emperor and Empress?" Pei Dong'er asked.

"She has already said it," Li Yueli nodded, "She said it depends on your choice. If you agree, the Star Gate will also be taken care of. Only a clone can go to the battleship. In fact, there is nothing for the two of us to do at all."

In name, there were two Heavenly Concubines, but in reality it was Jiang Youning who flew with his master and his mistress, allowing Luotian Immortal Sect to directly control the two entire armies. No matter how you looked at it, Luotian Immortal Sect had gained, but Pei Dong'er frowned.

"Don't you think this is abnormal?" Pei Dong'er reminded, "This is to let Luotian Xianmen and Luofu Sect fight against each other! Sister Mei will also fight against us."

"Isn't that perfect?" Li Yueli smiled. "This is what many people want to see, including the emperor and empress. Besides, both armies need someone to lead them. Since the emperor and empress let go, let Luotian Immortal Sect take advantage of this opportunity."

"You are really bold," Pei Dong'er snorted, "I will bring the Frost Fairy and her people with me. Since I am here this time, I must not let Luotian Immortal Sect take all the credit. I must bring all aspects of the Heavenly Court with me."

"It's fine for you to bring the spirits with you, but what does that have to do with the Celestial Officials?" Li Yueli reminded, "They have a strong background, and although they are envious of the expeditionary force's warship quota, they won't cling to you."

"How dare I have such an idea," Pei Dong'er said calmly, "It's just to more fairly distribute the warships of the two armies. The emperor and empress will not let Luotian Xianmen seize the right to distribute the two armies."

"I'm afraid we have to take care of Sister Tu's fox tribe and monster tribe." Li Yueli instantly understood what she meant and took a deep breath. "This is troublesome. If the eastern and western armies are composed of monsters, how can Luotian Xianmen suppress them?"

"Just get the Fox Tribe and the Frost Fairy on the warship," Pei Dong'er said, "I need your help. There are two deputy commanders for the two armies, but there are at least four more generals. I hope you can help me make the arrangements."

"I don't care," Li Yueli shook her head after thinking for a while, "If I intervene, I will definitely be dragged into it, which is not what I want. You can tell the empress directly that I don't care, as long as Jiang Youning can represent me."

"That's good." Pei Dong'er breathed a sigh of relief.

In the final analysis, she actually just wanted Li Yueli to express her attitude. Although the two of them had a good relationship, there was actually no conflict of interest between them. They each represented a different ethnic group. Li Yueli represented the plant and tree ethnic group, while Pei Dong'er represented the monster ethnic group. Their fates were intertwined.

Otherwise, although the two women have special physiques, they do not have corresponding destinies. It is simply the design of the Emperor that entangles the fortunes of the two women and the two major ethnic groups. Of course, this is also closely related to the physiques of the two women.

Pei Dong'er quickly said goodbye and left. She went straight to find the Emperor and Empress. The Emperor and Empress would not make things difficult for her. In fact, the Emperor and Empress were very strict with the immortals outside, but they were very tolerant to these sisters. As long as they didn't do anything wrong, everything would be fine.

In the 33,850th year of the Eight Desolate Calendar, the Heavenly Court officially issued an announcement to open two new expeditionary forces with a total of one thousand warships. The two Heavenly Concubines, Pei Dong'er and Li Yueli, became deputy commanders of the expeditionary forces and commanded the two armies in general.
