The Xiuxian family can't float

Chapter 323 The Ceremony of Establishing the Patriarch, the thoughts of all Jindan forces!
All monks of the Ling family who have experienced that battle know that the jade tablet in Ling Jiexin's hand is a talisman.

It was this talisman that hurt the big demon Xuanjia at the beginning. If Ling Jiexin really wanted to make an example of others, how could a mere foundation-builder cultivator be able to resist it.

Faced with such a situation, no one is willing to be the early bird.

But some elders were very puzzled, wasn't this talisman taken by the Seventh Elder Ling Yuansheng?Why did it appear in the hands of the third elder Ling Jiexin?

"Is there no objection to the establishment of the patriarch?"

The elders who established the foundation in each room did not speak, and did not want to pay attention to the third elder Ling Jiexin.

Ling Jiexin didn't care, as long as they didn't come out to disrupt the situation.

"Who do you think should be appointed as the patriarch?"

Sure enough, there are smart people in the hall. As soon as Ling Jiexin finished asking, Ling Youcheng immediately replied: "The third elder has saved the family from danger several times, and he has made great contributions to our Cangli Ling family. It is most suitable for the third elder to be the patriarch." .”

As soon as this remark came out, the elder Jianji of the new faction hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "We have elected three elders to be the patriarch."

The old-school foundation-building elders quit. Since the establishment of a patriarch is inevitable, let's appoint someone from our own camp as the patriarch.

Even if you can't appoint someone from your own camp as the patriarch, you must not let someone from the new faction be the patriarch.

Ling Jiexin has a high seniority and deep qualifications. He has paid too much for the Cangli Ling family. He has made great contributions to the family and will inevitably attract a large number of supporters.

No one in the old school can compete with him, or the only one who can compete with him in the entire Cangliling clan is the seventh elder Ling Yuansheng.

Although Ling Yuansheng's contribution to the family is not as good as Ling Jiexin, but he is a Jindan real person with a long lifespan, so he can naturally attract a large number of supporters.

In the current situation, it is obvious that Ling Yuansheng is the head of the clan. It is better for each house. After all, he is not like Ling Jiexin, who blatantly wants to modify the family system, almost to the point of tearing his face.

Ling Dingyi said: "If it is not necessary to establish a patriarch, I will recommend the seventh elder."

As soon as these words came out, the elders of the old school Jiji seemed to have found the backbone, and said in unison: "I will elect the seventh elder to be the patriarch."

Hearing these words, the elder of the new sect established the foundation secretly cried out: "Oops."

"The seventh elder is a Jindan real person. If there is a fight, the third elder is no match."

Ling Dingyi went on to say: "I recommend the Seventh Elder to be the patriarch for three reasons. First, the Seventh Elder is a Jindan real person with the highest cultivation in the clan. Second, the Seventh Elder has handled the family affairs for many years. If he is the patriarch, he can handle it very well." Family affairs."

She glanced at Ling Jiexin, who was at the top, and said, "Finally, the third elder was seriously injured before, and I'm afraid that he doesn't have much life left, but he is not suitable to be the patriarch."

The elders of the new sect established the foundation were short of breath, not out of anger, but out of worry.

Because what Ling Dingyi said was correct, they couldn't find any reason to refute it. No matter from which aspect, Ling Yuansheng was more important than Ling Jiexin as the patriarch of the Cangli Ling clan.

But will Ling Yuansheng suppress the old school like Ling Jiexin?
Regarding this point, Ling Yuansheng did not give a clear answer, and the elders of the new sect established the foundation did not dare to bet.

Because once Ling Yuansheng became the patriarch, if he only reused the old school, it would be a disaster for the new school.

As the saying goes, one learns one's wisdom by taking a fall, and with the profound lessons learned this time, the old school in power will definitely be more wary of opposition from the clan.

They will definitely control the flow of Foundation Establishment Pills more strictly, and try to let the newly promoted Foundation Establishment monks come from each room.

Even if there are occasional foundation-building monks who are not from different houses, they will pull them into their camp.

At that time, the new school will be like duckweed without roots, and will eventually disappear slowly.

Since then, it has been difficult to give birth to a new school.

Therefore, before Ling Yuansheng made a clear statement, the new foundation-building monks would not support him, but would only support Ling Jiexin with all their strength.

But it is absolutely impossible for Ling Yuansheng to stand up and make a clear statement, otherwise the old school will no longer support him, or even sing against him.

No matter how Ling Jiexin changed the family system, as long as the elders of the old school established the foundation survived, the old school would be a strong force in the clan for a long time to come.

Ling Yuansheng still has a lot of lifespan, and it is foreseeable that he will manage the entire Cangli Ling clan as the patriarch for a long time in the future.

If the old-school foundation-building elders disagree with him and fail to work together, they will restrain him.

In the same way, it is absolutely impossible for Ling Yuansheng to stand up and clearly support the old school, otherwise, when he becomes the patriarch, the elders of the new school's foundation will sing against him, and if they cannot be in line with him, they will restrain him in the new city.

This is absolutely not allowed for a person with big ambitions.

Whether it is old-school people or new-school people, they must be used by him and work together with him.

The Cangliling clan can only have one spearhead, and this spearhead can only point in one direction forever, and it cannot point in a second direction.

This is what Ling Yuansheng wanted, so he chose to close life and death, neither the old school nor the new school will offend.

And Ling Jiexin is also well aware of the above situations, for the future of the Cangli Ling family, he has once again selflessly dedicated himself.

In the last period of his life, he will carry out drastic reforms to the Cangli Ling family and the Ling family, severely suppressing the old faction, and at the same time not delegating power to the new faction, so that they will lose their power.

He wants to be a "dictator" and establish the absolute authority of the patriarch. Only in this way can he attract enough hatred.

After he died, Ling Yuansheng became the patriarch, and he only needed to delegate some powers. People from the old school or the new school would all be grateful to him, so that he could win the hearts of the entire Cangli Ling clan in an instant.

Ling Jiexin will be the bad guy, while Ling Yuansheng will be the good guy.

Facing Ling Dingyi's "provocation", Ling Jiexin was not angry either.

Instead, he looked at Ling Youdao and asked, "Youdao, what did your grandfather say?"

As soon as these words came out, all eyes in the hall focused on Ling Youdao.

"He said he didn't want to get involved in this matter, and let the Ninth Uncle make the decision."

Hearing this, the elders of the new School of Foundation Establishment were in high spirits, and looked at the people of the old school with pride.

The old-fashioned Elder Establishing the Foundation felt a little lost, thinking that the time of Ling Yuan's birth and death was too coincidental, it seemed that he deliberately avoided this matter.

Ling Yuansheng didn't want to be the patriarch at this time, and the entire Cangli Ling clan could no longer find another clansman who could compete with Ling Jiexin, so he could only hold his nose to recognize him as the patriarch.

"Since there is no objection, the old man will be the first patriarch."

Immediately, he said: "Establishing a patriarch is a big event. The old man wants to hold a ceremony for establishing a patriarch. I should spread the word to all the forces in the Liuyun Islands and invite monks from several major Jindan forces in the northern section of the Thousand Islands Chain to watch the ceremony."

The patriarch of the Xiuxian family is the same as the head and suzerain of the Xiuxian sect, and this is the first patriarch of the Cangliling clan, so naturally a ceremony needs to be prepared.

Ling Jiexin ordered Ling Dingzong, Ling Dingzhou, and Mu Yanran to prepare the ceremony together. Ling Dingzong represented the old school, Ling Dingzhou represented the new school, and Mu Yanran represented Ling Yuansheng's Qifang.

In addition, Ling Youxian, Ling Youdao, Ling Yourong, Ling Youjin, and Ling Youcheng were sent to Baiyunmen, Haishazong, Canglongmen, Jinchan Temple, and Danxin Pavilion to send invitation letters to observe the ceremony.

Afterwards, he sent the qi training disciples in the clan to send management invitation letters to the five families of the Floating Cloud Islands, as well as the Foundation Establishment families of the other three islands in the Meteorite Sea Region.

As Ling Jiexin issued orders one by one, the entire Cangli Ling Sect was like a machine, suddenly running at high speed.

The entire Qingcang Mountain has been well-decorated, with a strong festive atmosphere.

The forces that received the invitation letter from the Cangliling Sect were all a little surprised. They still knew about the Cangliling Sect's system.

This time, however, it was the patriarch establishment ceremony, which was of extraordinary significance, but all the forces that received the invitation letter promised to attend the appointment on time.

On the day of the patriarchal ceremony of the Cangliling Clan, all the foundation-establishing families in the Meteorite Sea Region arrived early, and some forces even arrived a few days earlier.

The Cangli Ling family prepared a good wing room for the monks who came early to take a rest. They had three meals a day, all of which were delicacies containing spiritual energy. The care was not insignificant, which showed the spirit of the Jindan family.

Baiyunmen, Haishazong, Canglongmen, Jinchan Temple, and Danxin Pavilion all arrived shortly before the grand ceremony. Among them, the people from Haishazong, Canglongmen, and Jinchanguan were all from Jindan Daoist and Baiyunmen. It is Cao Teng, a monk in the late foundation establishment period, a direct disciple of Danxin Zhenren, the master of Danxin Pavilion, and Cui Yingyuan, a monk in the late foundation establishment period.

In order to show the solemnity of the ceremony, Ling Jiexin also compiled a special etiquette for the ceremony of establishing the patriarch. The successors of the patriarchs in later generations need to go through this process.

According to his compilation, the whole ceremony can be roughly divided into these steps.

The first step is to comfort the ancestral temple. The elders accompany the successor of the patriarch to the ancestral temple and inform the ancestors of the Cangliling clan that a certain ancestor has passed away, and a certain person will succeed the new patriarch of the Cangliling clan.

Then, a respected elder will tell the major events since the founding of the Cangliling clan, so that the successor patriarch can understand the hardships of the ancestors' entrepreneurship, and the successor patriarch should follow in their footsteps to make the Cangliling clan stronger.

Afterwards, another respected elder read out the Cangliling Clan Rules, so that the successor patriarch would be alert to himself, not to violate the clan rules, and to uphold the Cangliling Clan's excellent clan teachings.

After all these are completed, they will go to the meeting hall to prepare for the succession ceremony.

The succession ceremony will be attended by monks from various factions, and the master of ceremonies will read out the documents and list the benefits of the successor patriarch, which shows that the Cangli Ling clan did not appoint the patriarch at will, but after strict assessment, he has many advantages before he can succeed the patriarch.

After the ceremony, all Cangliling clan bowed their hands to meet the new patriarch.

In this way, a new patriarch was born and could take over the power of the Cangliling clan.

The ceremony is only the second step, and there is a third step.

The so-called third step includes congratulatory gifts from the spectator forces or monks, programs prepared by the Cangli Ling family, and even discussions among the younger generations of the major forces.

Get up early in the morning and go to the ancestral temple to comfort the ancestors.

Arriving at the meeting hall at Chenshi, the patriarch establishment ceremony was held in the square outside the hall.

After the main hall was over, representatives of various major forces sent congratulatory gifts.

Afterwards, the Zhongguanli guests feasted and watched several programs prepared by Cangli Ling.

Suddenly, Cao Teng proposed a competition among the younger generations of several major forces, so the six Golden Core forces in the northern section of the Thousand Islands Chain each sent three juniors in the Qi training period to compete.

Cao Teng came prepared and overwhelmed the other five Golden Core forces, his words revealing his pride.

The disciples of the Ling family were secretly annoyed, "If sister Renyin hadn't established the foundation, how could it be your turn to be arrogant."

Ling Youdao was very cruel to Cao Teng, but he held back, as the saying goes, a little intolerance can lead to great chaos.

When Cao Teng met Ling Renyin and found out that she was a mid-stage foundation-establishment monk, Cao Teng felt a storm in his heart. You must know that she is only 30 years old.

Ling Renyin completed the breakthrough more than half a year ago, and is now a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He wanted to find an opportunity to get in touch with Ling Renyin and continue his father-daughter relationship, but Ling Youdao stopped him.

Even if Ling Youdao didn't stop him, Ling Renyin didn't want to see him, let alone recognize him as his father.

Although Ling Youqian was still young when she died, the scenes at Baiyunmen were still echoing in her mind, and she was full of hatred for Baiyunmen.

Cao Teng had no choice but to give up temporarily.

It's just that he won the competition, but Cao Teng is like a villain. The Jindan real people of Canglongmen, Haishazong, and Jinchanguan are not happy, but this is on the territory of the Cangliling Sect, and they are not against Cao. Freeing his hand, what he thought of was to intercept and kill Cao Teng on the way back.

But Cao Teng was not afraid, because there were two Jindan masters of the White Cloud Sect hidden outside Cangli Island, and the reason why he, a foundation-builder cultivator, was sent to watch the ceremony was just to suppress the arrogance of the Cangli Ling family.

Suppressing Cangliling's arrogance a little bit will not anger Cangliling's.

Moreover, Ling Jiexin once made an oath of heaven that the Cangli Ling clan would help the Baiyun Sect resist the three factions, so the Baiyun Sect was not worried that the Cangli Ling clan would unite with the three factions.

Because if the Cangliling clan cooperates with the three factions, Ling Jiexin will suffer from the pain of the thunder rolling, and even his soul will not be able to escape.

From the eyes of the Jindan masters of Baiyunmen, Ling Jiexin would never join the three factions to deal with him for the sake of his own life.

After all, the longer they live, the more afraid of death they are.

Canglongmen, Haishazong, Jindan Daoist from Jinchan Temple personally came with their own plans, and wanted to join hands with the Cangli Ling clan to deal with Baiyunmen.

Because not long ago, Master Yueyao was ambushed and killed by Daoist Jindan of Baiyunmen, the strength of the three factions dropped a lot.

And there are rumors that Baiyunmen has found a life-prolonging pill for Master Fengyi, which can prolong the lifespan of a Jiazi.

Of course, Master Fengyi also spent most of his life's savings in exchange for that life-extending pill.

In a short period of time, Baiyunmen's high-end combat power will not decrease, but the alliance of three factions is different.

Because the Supreme Elder of the Canglong Sect doesn't have much lifespan, once he dies, the Canglong Sect will face the embarrassing situation of having no successor to the Jindan Daoist.

At that time, the entire three sects will only have two Jindan real people, and the big demon Jinchan of Jinchan Temple, while Baiyunmen will have four Jindan real people.

So the three sects panicked a little, while the Baiyunmen got a little flustered.
