Through Yun Kong's narration, Tang Tian gradually understood some of the past of Qingyue Gate.

Hundreds of years ago, the area where Qingyue Gate is located was just a desolate mountainous region.

The powerful immortals of Cloud Peak Heavenly Mansion personally took action to transform this place into an excellent cultivation environment.

Subsequently, Qingyue Gate was established.

At that time, many people came, some were skilled in combat, and some had strong management abilities.

With the support of Heavenly Mansion, in just a few decades, Qingyue Gate became one of the most powerful sects within tens of thousands of miles.

Afterwards, most of the high-ranking members gradually withdrew, leaving only a few people to manage the sect.

Several rarely seen elders, the Sect Master of Qingyue Gate, the Great Elder Li Tianhua, and the one Tang Tian had just met, Chi Yuan, were among the first group of high-ranking members in that era.

The others were more inclined towards management, while Chi Yuan was mainly responsible for combat.

"Over three hundred years ago, when Master Chi was contending for the position of Sect Master with the previous Sect Master, he lost."

"Over two hundred years ago, when he was contending for the position of Great Elder with Elder Li, he lost again."

"During the period of great development that followed, he thought he could at least become the Peak Master of one of the main peaks."

"But about a hundred years ago, he made a very big mistake that almost led to the destruction of Qingyue Gate."

Yun Kong sighed.

Tang Tian fell silent. Chi Yuan's fate was truly unfortunate.

"What mistake?"

Tang Tian asked.

Yun Kong shook his head and smiled. "Actually, many people know about this matter."

"Over a hundred years ago, a terrible power struggle broke out within Qingyue Gate."

"And the cause of this struggle was Master Chi."

At that time, he was still not content with being just a Peak Master. He had always wanted to establish a position as Vice Sect Master, equal in status to the Great Elder.

However, his idea was exploited by someone with ulterior motives, triggering a huge power storm.

Many people died, including some high-ranking members who came down from Heavenly Mansion.

Like Master Zhulin, he came from Heavenly Mansion and made significant contributions to the early development of Qingyue Gate. He was also kind-hearted and disliked fighting, just living here to enjoy his retirement.

As a result, he was also implicated and died.

Tang Tian couldn't help but be astonished.

"You mean the Zhulin Daoist who planted the purple bamboo forest and built the Purple Bamboo Courtyard?"

Yun Kong nodded. "That was his place of residence."

"After that incident, the Purple Bamboo Courtyard has been sealed."

"But I don't know why it was unsealed at the end of last year. If it weren't for others having concerns, it definitely wouldn't have waited for you to rent it."

Yun Kong said with a smile.

Tang Tian nodded. He had indeed heard about this from Prince Yu before.

And when he first moved in, he noticed that the facilities and layout inside the Purple Bamboo Courtyard were like a retirement home.

By the way, it's been a long time since I've seen Prince Yu. I wonder what he's been busy with lately.

"What happened afterwards?"

Tang Tian asked.

Yun Kong continued, "Things happened too quickly. Under the manipulation of someone with ulterior motives, by the time Master Chi realized he had been used, it was already beyond control."

"In the end, Master Chi and Elder Li joined forces and united a group of powerful high-ranking members to work hard to quell the chaos, allowing Qingyue Gate to escape destruction."

"After this incident, Heavenly Mansion dealt with a large number of high-ranking members of the sect. Even the former Sect Master was removed from his position due to negligence and a new Sect Master was personally appointed."

"Master Chi was the source of this disaster, but he was also the hero who quelled it. The merits and demerits offset each other, so he did not receive much punishment."

"But after this incident, the position of Vice Sect Master was no longer a possibility, and he was excluded from the position of Peak Master of the four main peaks that developed subsequently."

"Until now, the construction of the Sixth Peak is imminent, and there were no other suitable candidates, so they decided to reinstate him."

After listening, Tang Tian suddenly realized why Chi Yuan seemed so urgent about this position.

If they continue to delay, who knows how long they will have to wait for a more suitable candidate.

However, what he couldn't understand was why Tianfu, as a subsidiary sect of Tianfu, did not intervene when such a big incident happened.

If they were to take action at that level, they would definitely be able to quickly suppress it.

Tang Tian asked the question in his mind.

Yun Kong smiled bitterly and said, "Tianfu has hundreds of subsidiary sects. To put it bluntly, they simply don't care about what happens to Qingyue Gate."

"Compared to the future of Qingyue Gate, what the higher-ups care more about is whether they can cultivate more capable individuals through certain events."

"Just like Qingyue Gate, during the many years I have been the Young Sect Master, although I have achieved some results, I have also made countless mistakes that are too numerous to count."

"These mistakes have changed the destinies of many disciples and even destroyed the lives of some people."

"But the Sect Master, the Elders, rarely interfere. They just silently watch me make mistakes, so that I can learn from them more deeply."

"Unless the mistake becomes so big that they can't bear to watch anymore, they will choose to intervene."

"Just like a few days ago, after the Hualong Pool incident, the Elder personally held a high-level meeting and severely criticized the current cultivation atmosphere of the sect."

Tang Tian fell silent, not knowing what to say.

The world of ordinary people, their thoughts, and the thoughts of the higher-ups are different.

Right and wrong are irrelevant. There is a saying that goes, "The butt determines the head."

No matter what position one is in, they can only do their best to do their own things. Sometimes, even if you haven't changed, the overall environment will push you to change direction.

Taking a deep breath, Tang Tian shook his head and smiled, "With what you said, I can basically understand Master Chi Yuan."

Yun Kong smiled and said, "Apart from external reasons, his personality has always been like this."

"Moreover, there have indeed been a few incidents before where investors saw such a large construction fund and were scared away, causing him to act like that."

"That's why he is like that."

Tang Tian nodded in understanding.

After chatting for a while, Chi Yuan returned with several senior elders.

They further improved the initial plan, formulated many directions for future development, and increased the scale of funds, directly exceeding six trillion.

When Tang Tian agreed without hesitation, Chi Yuan was so happy that he wanted to hug him and give him a few kisses.

"Hahaha!"

"Brother Jin, from today onwards, no matter where you encounter any trouble, just mention my name!"

"Within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, there are not many people who dare to disregard me, Chi Yuan!"

Chi Yuan said loudly.

Tang Tian smiled confidently, "Sure, sure."

Brother Jin is just a title, nothing more.

Then, he took out the Innate Dao Jade from his pocket.

First, he took out two hundred, then another two hundred, and finally took out the remaining four hundred all at once.

Chi Yuan was stunned by this operation.

"Brother Jin is truly extraordinary!"

"It's alright, my big brother can do whatever he wants!"

Chi Yuan said loudly.

Tang Tian's mouth twitched as he completed the entire transaction.

In the system space, the Innate Dao Jade broke through eight hundred.

And the number of consumption points also reached over sixty billion.

Finally, he obtained the Holy-level physique!
