Chapter 1524: Chapters 1472-1473 Delusional Obsession, Supreme Strong Teaches His Son Chapter 1524: Chapters 1472-1473 Delusional Obsession, Supreme Strong Teaches His Son Even though all the strong members of the Shenxiao Sect were aware that the successor to the Sect Leader wasn't just chosen from among the True Immortals and the many other Supreme Overlords who possessed the combat power of a True Immortal but had yet to certify their Tao.
Expanding this range to include all Supreme Strong would naturally come with many stringent requirements and conditions, likely to disqualify many, yet still unable to dampen their enthusiasm.
After all, when faced with the arrival of an opportunity, whether one is qualified is very important.
If it was explicitly confined to True Immortals and Supreme Overlords with the strength of True Immortals, ordinary Supreme Strong would undoubtedly feel somewhat disappointed without needing to say anything.
However, if they were to be included in this range, they would know they had no chance and did not meet the qualifications and would be excluded, yet they would feel much less resentment.
Indeed, as expected, whenever Pang Hong announced his abdication, and that the selection range for the successor to the Sect Leader would be expanded to all Supreme Strong, countless mighty ones within the Shenxiao Sect rejoiced.
Moreover, many clever cultivators instantly understood the underlying meaning of this regulation, realizing the Sect Leader seemed to intend to pass on the position to a Supreme Strong, not necessarily a True Immortal.
“Father, do you mean that the Sect Leader doesn't want other True Immortals or Supreme Overlords with the strength of a True Immortal to take over the position, but instead plans to pass it to a certain Supreme Strong?” a Cultivator of the Spirit Realm Eighth Layer asked in shock after hearing his father's words.
As the Shenxiao Sect grew stronger, ten thousand years passed, which was enough for many changes to occur. Although the Shenxiao Sect was purely a sect, within the sect itself, cultivating families inevitably formed as cultivators took wives and had children.
Of course, the emergence of these cultivator families did not significantly impact the Shenxiao Sect because, although the advantage of bloodline inheritance was initially significant, it could not ultimately claim all the resources.
One must understand that the atmosphere and trends within the Shenxiao Sect determined that those who are capable rise while the mediocre fall. If one wants to use resources to boost and promote their close affiliates, that's fine, but you also need to pay your own price. It's not something you can achieve through nepotism.
Therefore, within the entire Shenxiao Sect, even though there are cultivator families, the mainstream still primarily relies on the transmission from master to apprentice because even cultivator families cannot guarantee that they will always have genius descendants to maintain their family's standing.
In the Shenxiao Sect, where the capable rise, intense competition is implied. If someone simply due to blood ties and personal feelings, impeded their own development, this was something they could not comprehend.
Hence, do not think that these cultivator families are filled with warm sentiments; on the contrary, within these families where they seek to become powerful, the rules are stricter, and the struggles more violent.
Of course, these cultivator families that truly rise amidst the fierce competition within the Shenxiao Sect are extraordinarily strong. Even placed in the outside world, they are in no way inferior to many large sects or noble families within the Cultivation World.
And this family in front of them was one of the powerful cultivator families of the Shenxiao Sect. Though they had never possessed a True Immortal or a Supreme Overlord with the strength of a True Immortal, a regular Supreme Overlord was by no means weak in the Divine Land World.
This cultivator family had developed over so many years that even Pang Hong was referred to as an old man by a Cultivator of Spirit Realm Eighth Layer among them.
While this title might seem exaggerated, it was an undeniable fact.
A Cultivator of the Spirit Realm Eighth Layer, when compared to Pang Hong, a True Immortal, not to mention the disparity in strength and status, just the difference in their ages, which spanned thousands of years, calling him an old man did not pose any issue.
And with Pang Hong's stature in the Shenxiao Sect, even though it was behind closed doors, they dared not call him by name directly and had to maintain sufficient respect.
“Indeed, if the Sect Leader intended for a certain True Immortal to succeed, why would he include us, the Supreme Overlords, in these potential successors?” said the Supreme Overlord of this cultivator family with a grave voice.
Sometimes some things do not need to be explicitly stated; simply analyzing some actions allows one to clearly understand the deeper implications.
As a Supreme Overlord, a pioneer of a cultivator family within the Shenxiao Sect who managed to develop and strengthen his family within the sect, this alone demonstrated his extraordinary capabilities.
One must know that with the fierce competition within the Shenxiao Sect today, being able to develop one's family proves that his vision and capabilities are of the highest order.
Upon learning that the Sect Leader planned to abdicate and had not chosen a certain True Immortal or a Supreme Overlord with the strength of a True Immortal to succeed him directly, but instead announced this matter and expanded the range, it was already very indicative, expressing his own attitude very clearly.
The Sect Leader did not wish for the current True Immortals to inherit the position of the Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect. This might be the Sect Leader's own intention, or possibly that of the Ancestral Master, the Longevity Taoist Monarch.
But regardless of whose intention it was, in the Shenxiao Sect, it was an established fact that no one could change, no matter the reasons behind it. However, one point was certain: unless the Sect Leader himself changed his mind, or the Ancestral Master, the Longevity Taoist Monarch issued a new decree, the chance of any True Immortal being involved was virtually nil.
