Chapter 1520: Chapter 1468–Chapter 1469 Chapter 1520: Chapter 1468–Chapter 1469 Would Pang Hong recommend a candidate?
Yu Zhenzi thought that he would not. After all, since Pang Hong wanted to let go, he would not choose to manipulate things from behind the scenes, as it would be less troublesome for him to stand in the foreground himself. Besides, no one would blame him.
And as for the other True Immortals entering the fray, Yu Zhenzi believed even less likely, as if all contenders were at the level of Supreme Strong, these True Immortals cared about their reputation, and none would shamelessly wrestle for the position.
Even if there were some who were unwise and didn't care about losing face, Yu Zhenzi would not mind approaching them to offer a reminder or even help them to maintain their dignity.
Thus, taking everything into consideration, this power struggle within the Shenxiao Sect would inevitably revolve around the various Supreme Strong.
And regarding other sect leaders from different immortal sects being True Immortals, would it be shameful for the Shenxiao Sect to choose a Supreme Strong as their leader?
It would not, as the authority held by the Shenxiao Sect's Leader was sufficient to rival a True Immortal, merely due to the presence of the Longevity Taoist Monarch. No one would dare underestimate the Sect Leader of Shenxiao Sect, even if he were merely a Mortal.
So what Yu Zhenzi worry about was not this aspect, but other matters, such as how other immortal sects would perceive such drastic changes within the Shenxiao Sect.
As one of the top immortal sects in the Divine Land World today, the Shenxiao Sect was closely watched by many influences, whose actions were followed and imitated by others.
And even though Pang Hong only intended to give up his position as the Trainer of Shenxiao Sect, without mentioning whether he would also relinquish his position of Thunder God at the Shenxiao House of Jade Purity, this was still a significant event. Not only within the Shenxiao Sect itself but it could also set a precedent that other forces might follow, causing ripples.
Who knew how intense the struggle for this position of Sect Leader would be among the many Supreme Strong within the Shenxiao Sect? With the Longevity Taoist Monarch around and several True Immortals present, any conflict could be restrained within certain limits, preventing major trouble.
Yet, regardless of anything, this was ultimately an internal issue of Shenxiao. Yu Zhenzi was considering that once other immortal sects and influential strong beings started to imitate this move, just how intense the competition could become.
Some events, from non-existence to existence, are very difficult to initiate, and it might be a long time before anyone could break that barrier of non-existence to start something new.
But once someone sets a precedent, breaking that barrier, it provides others a model to emulate, encouraging them to follow suit.
Throughout the thousands of years in the progression of the Divine Land World, talking aside ordinary forces that lack True Immortals, even those forces that can be termed as immortal sects due to the presence of a True Immortal at the helm–be it Sect Leader, Sect Master, or King–have, without exception, been True Immortals.
Whether it's to promote the prestige of the power or to converse equally with other influences, these forces tacitly keep True Immortals as the face of their power, maintaining a balance.
And even if some immortal sects undergo a change in leadership, it is nothing more than a new True Immortal taking the position. Unless the original True Immortal perishes and no other True Immortal exists within the sect, requiring a fall in their sect's rank, Supreme Strong are not eligible to assume such roles.
Even some True Immortals who are unwilling to hold the positions of Sect Leader or Sect Master are compelled to shoulder the responsibility.
This seems to have become an unspoken rule quietly adhered to by all.
And if Pang Hong relinquishes his position, if they find a True Immortal from within the Shenxiao Sect to succeed him, well and good, but if the chosen one is a Supreme Overlord, it would certainly provoke different reactions from various factions.
For some True Immortals who are reluctantly holding the position just to maintain the stature of their own immortal sect's thresholds, this undeniably presents an opportunity to step down, allowing them to smoothly exit the scene by capitalizing on Shenxiao Sect's move.
After all, as long as they aren't the ones breaking the rule, other influences, despite any dissatisfaction, can do nothing about it. After all, it's cooler under the big tree's shade; even if some forces are unhappy with this move, they can't bypass Shenxiao Sect to trouble these influences.
And for Yu Zhenzi, the reactions of these True Immortals from other immortal sects don't really matter; this was all to be expected and of little consequence.
What he was concerned about was another part of the immortal sects–those who monopolize the position of Sect Leader, amassing numerous benefits and causing dissatisfaction within their sect, but others could do nothing about it.
When the news of Shenxiao Sect truly selecting a Supreme Strong as the Sect Leader spread, it might even encourage other immortal sect True Immortals to announce their retirement, passing the authority to their successors.
But this might also provoke internal struggles within other sects, or even force many Supreme Strong to coerce certain True Immortals to relinquish benefits.
One should neither think such scenarios exaggerated nor believe that True Immortals could suppress everything withoutConcerns.
Indeed, there's a formidable chasm between True Immortals and Supreme Strong, a gap signifying a profound difference in the essence of life. However, this very chasm is not necessarily insurmountable, nor is it impossible to bridge.
