Chapter 449: Divine Water (2)

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

The middle and bottom layers of the Weapon Refinement Hall were almost all his disciples and grand-disciples.

Even if the current sect master of the Qianyuan Sword Sect had all the power and bypassed Huyan Chi, the old hall master, and directly appointed a hall master of the Weapon Refining Hall, how much effect would it have?

It could be foreseen that once the new Palace Master of the Weapon Refinement Palace took over, even if Qin Zhan took up the position, no disciple of the Weapon Refinement Palace would be willing to listen to Qin Zhan’s orders.

As for Fei Chenxue appointing other people, the result was even more obvious.

In the past few years, Qin Zhan had relied on his tyrannical strength to make a name for himself both within and outside the sect.

As for the others, they might even lose their lives on the day they took office.

One had to know that there were even Nascent Souls among Huyan Chi’s disciples.

What kind of expert could suppress such a group of people?

This was the reason why the Palace Masters of the various palaces had such great authority.

In addition to the Palace Masters of the various palaces, there was also a group of elders in the Qianyuan Sword Sect.

From the perspective of power, the power of the elders of the Qianyuan Sword Sect was far less than that of the Palace Masters.

However, the Council of Elders, which was made up of many elders, had the power to supervise the Palace Master and even the Sect Master.

The Qian Yuan Sword Sect was such a huge sect. If it had a sect master who was rebellious, wouldn’t it be able to bring the sect into the ditch in an instant?

In order to prevent this from happening, the ancestors of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect had set up a power structure for the sect to check and balance each other. That was the power system of the sect master, the elders, and the temple master.

Of course.

After all, the Qian Yuan Sword Sect was an immortal cultivation sect. Since it was an immortal cultivation sect, it could not escape the words of the strong.

If the sect leader of the Qianyuan Sword Sect was extremely powerful and had a strong wrist, then the sect leader of the Qianyuan Sword Sect would be the most powerful.

That would definitely mean that he had all the power in the sect. Generally speaking, no one would dare to say anything when the sect master said one thing.

Even if there were, they could only complain in private.

If the strength of the sect master could not far exceed everyone, then the Qianyuan Sword Sect would enter a power system that checks and balance each other.

This kind of power system of mutual checks and balance might not be able to allow the sect to develop by leaps and bounds, but it would not let the sect fall headfirst into the ditch.

The current Qian Yuan Sword Sect was in a power structure that kept each other in check.

The sect master’s concubine, Chenxue, succeeded to the throne more than 400 years ago. Although her strength was at the top of the entire Qianyuan Sword Sect, she could not suppress the heroes.

For instance, Ye Yin of the Elder Council, Qin Zhan, the Palace Master of the Sea Suppressing Palace Hall, Huyan Chi, the Palace Master of the Weapon Refinement Palace Hall, and so on. In terms of personal strength, none of them were weaker than the Sect Master’s Concubine Chenxue.

In this way.

When Fei Chenxue did things in the sect, her hands and feet were naturally restricted.

However, Fei Chenxue’s actions were different from those of the previous Sect Masters. This caused her relationship with the Elder Council and even the various Palace Masters to not be harmonious.

If she didn’t have a group of diehard supporters like the Sea-suppressing Hall Master Qin Zhan, she wouldn’t have been able to secure her position as the Sect Master.

Under the guidance of the brawny man, Chen Daoxuan soon arrived at the back mountain of Tianxu Mountain and saw Huyan Chi.

Compared to more than ten years ago.

Huyan Chi’s appearance did not seem to change, still looking full of energy.

At this moment.

Huyan Chi was wearing a black Daoist robe that was covered with cloud patterns. He was sitting in front of a cliff on the back of the mountain.

Chen Daoxuan looked forward slightly and found that there was a continuous sea of fire under the cliff that was tens of thousands of feet high. The rolling heat wave was blowing towards him.

Chen Daoxuan’s expression changed when he felt the terrifying heat wave. He quickly set up a transparent spatial membrane in front of him to resist the terrifying heat wave.

As for the burly man beside him, he couldn’t help but be unharmed in the rolling heat wave. He even revealed an expression of enjoyment.

“What a powerful body!”

Chen Daoxuan thought.

Compared to the Aurous Core stage of Qi Refinement, Chen Daoxuan’s Body Refinement stage had only reached the Rebirth stage, which was only equivalent to the Zifu stage of Qi Refinement.

This kind of body-refining cultivation was definitely one of the weaker ones among Golden Core cultivators.

In fact, the speed at which Chen Daodao’s body refinement cultivation was improving was not slow. However, it was still not enough compared to the speed at which his qi refinement cultivation was improving.

Up ahead, Huyan Chi was sitting upright in front of the cliff, refining a high-grade magic tool.

With Chen Daoxuan’s artifact crafting skills, he actually couldn’t determine what level the artifact in front of him was.

However, he could clearly sense that the spiritual aura emitted by this tower-shaped magic artifact in front of him was of a higher grade than his Cheng Ying sword.

Ever since the Cheng Ying sword merged with his spatial sword intent, the two were no longer distinguishable.

His spatial sword intent transformed into spatial law, and the Cheng Ying sword was also constantly improving. So far, the Cheng Ying sword had already been upgraded to low-grade fifth-tier. In less than a month, it would be upgraded to middle-grade fifth-tier.

Even so, Chen Daoxuan still felt that his Cheng Ying Sword could not compare to this small pagoda that had yet to take shape.

As array patterns merged into the pagoda from the void, the spirituality emitted from the small pagoda became stronger and stronger.

In the end.

The spatial barrier that Chen Daoxuan had set up in front of him was affected by this pressure and emitted cracking sounds.

Seeing this.

Chen Daoxuan hurriedly increased the thickness of the spatial barrier.

This wasn’t a joke. Even his middle-stage Law Realm cultivation couldn’t withstand the impact of this small pagoda, let alone his weak body.

Unless he put on his natal spiritual armor.

But wasn’t this a joke?

He had come to watch Hall Master Huyan refine artifacts, but in the end, he was even wearing ling armor.

Fortunately, Chen Daoxuan’s middle-stage nomological realm Great Dao realm didn’t disappoint him. After this small pagoda of unknown rank erupted with all its spirituality, its spiritual light quickly converged.

In the end, Small Tower transformed into a streak of black light and flew into Hall Master Huyan’s hand. He then kept it.

“Phew!”

Huyan Chi let out a breath of turbid air after putting away the small tower. He then turned to look at Chen Daoxuan.

Seeing Chen Daoxuan for the first time, Huyan Chi shook his head slightly: “”Your body is a little weak.”

“Junior Chen Daoxuan greets Senior Huyan!”

Chen Daoxuan did not dare to be negligent and immediately bowed to Huyan Chi.

Even though he was confident that he could dominate Golden Cores with his strength, and even if he encountered a weaker Nascent Soul, he would not be afraid of the other party even if he used all his trump cards.

But facing Huyan Chi, Chen Daoxuan could still feel a huge pressure.

Chen Daoxuan knew clearly in his heart that Huyan Chiyuan was not someone the current him could match.

In the past, when Chen Daoxuan was still weak, he could not feel any pressure when he stood beside the Sea-calming Hall Master. He felt that the other party was just like an ordinary person and could not feel any pressure at all.

However, now that he was standing in front of an expert who was on the same level as the Sea-suppressing Hall Master again, he could finally feel the terrifying might from the other party.

Chen Daoxuan knew that it was not that his strength had weakened, but that his strength had increased. At least for now, he could already feel the gap between the two sides.

Unlike before, he couldn’t even sense the difference between the two. He only knew that the other party was very strong, but he didn’t know exactly how strong.

“You’ve been slacking off all these years.”

Huyan Chi looked at Chen Daoxuan for the second time and said this sentence.

Chen Daoxuan knew what the other party meant. Huyan Chi was saying that he had slacked off on the path of artifact refinement.

But he was not sure how Huyan Chi could tell.

Seemingly seeing through Chen Daoxuan’s question, Huyan Chi said,””You don’t have the slightest fire aura on you. You’ve almost never personally refined artifacts all these years, right?”

“Uh…”

Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan lowered his head.” I’m ashamed.”

Huyan Chi waved his hand.” You don’t have to be ashamed. Speaking of which, you’re now the patriarch of a large clan in Cangzhou. You no longer lack cultivation resources. Why bother studying the path of refining weapons?”

You probably think so in your heart, right?”

After a while.

“I did think so.” Chen Daoxuan nodded.”

“You’re honest. Sit down.

ii

Huyan Chi smiled and looked at the burly man beside Chen Daoxuan.” Xian Zhu, you sit too.”

“Thank you, Master.”

The brawny man sat down and grinned.

Seeing this, Chen Daoxuan didn’t act pretentious and directly sat down beside the brawny man. He looked at Huyan Chi in front of him like a devout student.

Seeing the two of them in front of him with a pious attitude, Huyan Chi nodded in satisfaction..
