Chapter 1528: Chapters 1476-1477 Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, Are You Seeking Death? Chapter 1528: Chapters 1476-1477 Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, Are You Seeking Death? The number of strong practitioners within the Shenxiao Sect was a matter that no one except the Sect Leader and a few True Immortals could fathom.
Even the information obtained by the Sect Leader and these True Immortals was not comprehensive, because the cultivation of any cultivator was never static, especially as they participated in the Heavenly Court's expansion and traveled through numerous worlds. It was quite possible that someone who was common at one moment, by virtue of fortune in a certain world, could rise abruptly.
The news of the succession of the Shenxiao Sect's Sect Leader spread rapidly within the entire sect and became known to numerous powerful individuals.
It should be understood that although these Supreme Strongs and Supreme Overlords said they were not concerned about the authority within Shenxiao Sect, that did not mean they were indifferent to many affairs within the sect.
Moreover, even if a strong practitioner did not deliberately gather forces, as they themselves became more powerful, people would unconsciously gather around them and be influenced by them.
Therefore, even if those strong practitioners were indifferent to worldly affairs, they still had numerous supporters around them. These people depended on the Supreme Strongs and Supreme Overlords and naturally hoped that the person they depended on would become stronger, so that they too could rise with the tide and gain more benefits.
And without a doubt, was there anything more coveted in the entire Shenxiao Sect, or even the entire Divine Land World, let alone the boundless worlds in the Chaos Void, than the authority and status represented by the Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect?
Thus, when this news was released, it instantly set off a storm within the Shenxiao Sect. The myriad Supreme Strongs and Supreme Overlords, who usually remained hidden, exploring the vast Chaos Void, immediately changed their direction and began to return to the Shenxiao Sect, eager to probe the situation, understand their rivals, and see if they were qualified and had the chance to vie for the throne of the Sect Leader.
In an instant, the number of Supreme Strongs in the entire Divine Land World, and especially those within the Shenxiao Sect, multiplied by several times.
Normally, even for the cultivators of the Shenxiao Sect, sightings of Supreme Strongs were extremely rare, but now they were seen frequently.
Not all of these Supreme Strongs were qualified to compete for the throne of the Sect Leader, but just as a certain familial inheritor among the Supreme Strongs thought, even if one could not participate in the succession, they could still become involved in other ways. In doing so, they could completely have the chance to reap substantial rewards, with much lower risks compared to direct involvement.
Even for such individuals, if they were truly alone and unfettered, even if they were to tragically fail in the succession battle, they could simply leave and explore the vast Chaos Void. They could simply avoid returning while the winner sat on the throne of Sect Leader.
The saying goes, if you can't contend with something, you could always avoid it. These people were competitors, not irreconcilable enemies. As the ones who rose to the throne from among thousands, it was only natural to suppress their former rivals, and even the True Immortals wouldn't interfere.
However, if one's rival had clearly shown submissiveness and retreated, to then continue to pursue them relentlessly and treat them as an enemy would be unacceptable to many True Immortals.
After all, they were all from the same sect, and what they needed was a Sect Leader who could manage Shenxiao Sect well, lead many disciples, unite the members, and ensure the smooth growth of the sect – not a Sect Leader who held grudges and had a narrow mind.
After all, even if your former opponent has already lost to you and has made it clear that they are stepping back, to continue the pursuit would seem excessively lacking in graciousness – a lost point in the eyes of many True Immortals and even the Ancestral Masters.
Thus, for these unrestrained Supreme Strongs, even if they participated and ultimately failed, they could decisively withdraw and self-exile, and at worst, not return for thousands of years without any consequence.
Of course, this time the returnees were not limited to just the strong practitioners of Shenxiao Sect; upon hearing such news, many strong individuals from other immortal sects also chose to return.
Perhaps, in Pang Hong's view and the view of the strong practitioners of Shenxiao Sect, the changeover of the Sect Leader of Shenxiao Sect was merely an internal affair of the sect, unrelated to the outer world.
But being in Shenxiao Sect's position, as a top sect and a leader in the Divine Land World, how could any change not relate to other strong forces and influences?
It can be said that given Shenxiao Sect's current status, every move they made could influence the Heavenly Court, the entire Divine Land World, and numerous other forces.
So, while this matter seemed to be an internal affair of Shenxiao Sect, it was actually related to the structural changes in the Divine Land World, drawing the attention of many strong beings and forces.
Every action of Shenxiao Sect was analyzed by many strong practitioners, who also wanted to see what kind of developments the succession of the Sect Leader would stir and if they could seize the opportunity to share in the spoils.
With the successive return of those Supreme Strongs and Supreme Overlords of Shenxiao Sect, the heritage accumulated by the sect over ten thousand years was revealed to the world, displaying to both the internal and external forces that Shenxiao Sect's strength was much greater than what had been estimated.
