Chapter 74 Passing the Throne, Return

Maoshan.

At the main altar, all the disciples who had gone down the mountain were recalled.

Inside the main hall, all the disciples of Maoshan had gathered, including the elders who had been in seclusion.

After all, today is a big day.

The sect leader is preparing to abdicate.

Lin Fengjiao, Simu, Qianhe, Master Ji, and other Maoshan disciples gathered together.

All the fellow disciples and Maoshan disciples present were waiting.

They are waiting for someone.

Shi Jian, the senior disciple of Maoshan.

"Hasn't our senior brother returned yet?"

Qianhe kept rushing towards the outside of the main hall.

The others waited anxiously, hoping that their senior brother would return soon.

After all, today is the day the sect leader announced his abdication.

Everyone has received the message, and invitations have already been sent to the orthodox sects of Taoism.

"Why aren't you back yet? Have you run into some trouble?"

An elder couldn't help but ask.

"He's a Celestial Master, his cultivation and magical power are higher than ours, what problems could he possibly encounter?"

"That's right, someone in this generation has finally taken up the mantle of Maoshan."

The elders all expressed their satisfaction with Shi Jian's performance and achievements.

In particular, the old Taoist priest in purple robes, the sect leader, couldn't suppress his smile.

Of course, he was happy that his eldest disciple had become successful.

Thunderclap!

Suddenly, a thunderclap echoed from the distant sky.

Everyone looked up and saw a bolt of lightning shooting towards them.

In the blink of an eye, a figure rode the lightning and landed in front of the main hall. The person was Shi Jian.

He is back.

"Disciple greets the Sect Leader and all the elders."

"Greetings, fellow disciples!"

Shi Jian bowed and greeted him calmly.

"I've met senior brother!"

"Meet the great uncle!"

At this moment, all the disciples of Maoshan stood up and bowed.

At this moment, Shi Jian, the senior disciple of Maoshan, became the center of attention.

The object of worship and admiration for the disciples of Maoshan.

"Master!"

Shi Jian strode in and stood in front of the sect leader, bowing with his hands clasped.

The purple-robed sect leader nodded with satisfaction and said excitedly, "It's good that you're back. I'm so proud of you. The heavy responsibility of the rise and fall of Maoshan is now in your hands."

"Please rest assured, Master, your disciple will definitely shoulder the heavy responsibility of Maoshan, uphold the righteous path, cherish fellow disciples, and carry forward the glory of Maoshan."

Shi Jian said firmly.

"Good good!"

The old Taoist priest in purple robes nodded with satisfaction and solemnly handed over the sect leader's token from his bosom.

Shi Jian held the token in both hands, a token representing the sect leader's identity.

Then, a seal and a sword were brought out from the Ancestral Hall; they were the jade seal and jade sword representing the head of the Maoshan Sect.

"Your master has gone into seclusion for quiet cultivation."

The old Taoist priest in purple robes stroked his beard and smiled as he turned and walked towards the secluded training grounds of the elders at the back of the sect.

"Disciple respectfully bids farewell to Master!"

Shi Jian bowed to the old man in purple robes.

"Farewell, Master!"

"Respectfully seeing off the elder."

All the disciples followed Shi Jian in respectfully seeing off the former sect leader.

Shi Jian stood up and strode towards the sect leader's throne.

He sat down with a flick of his sleeve, exuding an aura of power.

A powerful aura belonging to the pinnacle of Celestial Masters emanated from the air, causing everyone's hearts to sink.

"We pay our respects to the Sect Leader!"

A group of elders stepped forward to pay their respects.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Sect Leader!"

"Greetings, Grandmaster Master!"

In an instant, everyone from Maoshan stepped forward to pay their respects.

Senior disciple Shi Jian has officially taken over as sect leader.

"Fellow disciples, please rise."

Shi Jian sat upright on the sect leader's throne, raising his hand with a smile.

Everyone stood up and took their seats.

Shi Jian glanced around the room, holding a jade seal in one hand and a jade sword in the other. His aura was constantly condensing, as if he had received some kind of inheritance.

Furthermore, the marks of the patriarchs poured in one after another.

This is the approval of the patriarchs.

"System, return!"

Having obtained what he wanted, Su Ming directly communicated with the system and chose to return.

[Ding, the game is starting!]

A thought flashed through my mind.

Su Ming disappeared into Shi Jian's body.

Then Shi Jian's soul and spirit returned to his body.

As soon as he returned, he was bombarded with a flood of memories, leaving him completely bewildered.

I broke through to the Celestial Master level and even became the sect leader?

Shi Jian was dumbfounded and had no idea what was going on.

He was repairing something when suddenly his consciousness went black, as if his soul had been taken into a mysterious place.

Now that he's back in his body, he's receiving a flood of memories that's causing his brain to shut down.

This is a part of Su Ming's memories; many memories were erased by him and did not remain.

It was only by making Shi Jian understand how he should have done some of the things he had done that he truly grasped the true meaning of the Dao.

"I see."

After realizing what was happening, Shi Jian immediately made an absurd guess.

Could it be that the patriarch saw that he was really not up to the task, so he personally descended to the mortal world to train for him?

"Shi Jian kowtows in gratitude to the Ancestral Master!"

Shi Jian opened his eyes and knelt upright towards the ancestral hall.

He believed that some patriarch couldn't stand it anymore and directly came down to occupy his body to train for him.

This training enabled him to attain the highest level of cultivation as a Celestial Master and even obtain the position of sect leader.

He took over the supreme position of the entire Maoshan sect, truly becoming the highest authority.

But now Shi Jian seems to have gained a new kind of understanding.

So that's how the senior brother did it.

So this is how one can cultivate Taoism?

So, the patriarch could descend to the mortal realm to help his disciples with their training?

Thoughts flashed through my mind, but eventually I found peace.

Shi Jian believed that it was the patriarch's favor that led him to personally come down and train for him.

"Since the patriarch values ​​his disciple so much, then the disciple will do his utmost to carry forward the glory of Maoshan."

Shi Jian's expression was resolute as he silently made a vow in his heart.

Thank you, Master!

The master of power leveling deserves your hard work!

He bowed again and again, feeling incredibly honored by the help he received from the patriarch.

From then on, Shi Jian devoted himself to cultivating Taoism, leading the Maoshan disciples down the mountain to slay demons and expel foreign enemies. He achieved great success and eventually ascended to the upper realm to become an immortal.

... ...

In the villa.

A beam of light fell, and Su Ming returned to the villa.

"Phew, I'm back."

He let out a breath.

Then, the system was opened to calculate the rewards.

[Ding, settlement in progress!]

[Your cameo role as Thunder King Shi Jian is 200% complete.]

[Please select your reward: (I) The abilities of a thousand-year-old zombie, (II) The full power of the guest character, (III) 10 vengeful female ghosts.]

Looking at the reward options, who gets the ability to become a thousand-year-old zombie first?

He didn't even consider it a mere thousand-year-old zombie.

Moreover, the female zombie stored in my own system space is more cost-effective.

As for the ten female ghosts, I couldn't even be bothered to look at them.

"Choose two!"

Without hesitation, he showcased his full potential in a cameo role.

This is exactly what he wanted; obtaining Shi Jian's full cultivation level was definitely the best option.

That's the pinnacle of celestial master cultivation, the ceiling of the mortal realm just one step away from ascending to the ranks of immortals.

Boom~!

After making his choice, Su Ming felt a surge of immense energy coursing through his body.

That was a magical power.

The influx of the Supreme Celestial Master's cultivation allowed Su Ming to regain control of this power, making him feel incredibly comfortable.

Moreover, the Grandmaster cultivation level within his body was actually being enhanced under the stimulation of magical power, as if he could break through and step into a higher level at any moment.

Zzzzz, zzzzz~!

Su Ming was enveloped in a dense array of lightning, having mastered lightning magic and was able to control it.

Swish!

He opened his eyes, and two bolts of lightning tore through the air.

Concealing his aura, Su Ming revealed a smile.

"Next, we need to properly refine the female zombie."

As he spoke, he released the stone coffin from the system space.

He then poured out his heart and soul into refining the female zombie.

Through the refinement of essence and spirit, one can completely control her, thus forming an unbreakable blood pact.

buzzing~~

After the ritual was completed, the red-clad figure floated up.

She suddenly opened her eyes, her ruby-like eyes fixed on him.

"Eat."

Su Ming took out the Corpse Pill, and the woman in red opened her mouth and swallowed it.

In an instant, an endless stream of corpse energy erupted.

Fortunately, he was quick enough to suppress it and isolate the powerful corpse energy.

After swallowing the corpse pill, the red-clothed woman's aura rapidly increased, and she began to undergo a tremendous transformation.

This means he's about to be promoted.
