A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality and I Become a God
Chapter Summary
In the Myriad Flowers Holy Land, or in all the Holy Lands, only those at the Saint King Realm can become Outer Sect Elders, only those at the Supreme Realm can become Inner Sect Elders, and only those at the late Quasi-Emperor stage or above can become Guardian Elders. Anyway, I'm making my point clear today: if Su Qiao Ran isn't a Saintess, then she might as well leave this Myriad Flowers Holy Land!" As the Second Elder finished speaking, everyone present was shocked. If Qiaoran’s talent were o...
Murong Xue seemed to realize something, and a cold smile crept across her face.
Yes, the opinions of the disciples don't really matter, even though they were involved in the selection of the Holy Maiden this time.
In reality, the most crucial factor lies with the higher-ups of the Myriad Flowers Holy Land. Even if all the disciples of the Myriad Flowers Holy Land voted, it would only amount to 100,000 votes. Therefore, the final decision rests with the higher-ups of the Myriad Flowers Holy Land.
Thinking of this, Murong Xue's eyes involuntarily showed a hopeful look towards her father, Murong Huang. Murong Huang, of course, knew what Murong Xue was thinking, so he coughed and spoke righteously.
"Quiet!"
As soon as Murong Huang spoke, the disciples of the Myriad Flowers Holy Land quieted down and looked at him.
Emperor Murong answered without hesitation.
"Everyone, our disciples of the Myriad Flowers Holy Land have always needed the approval of our higher-ups before they can get married, especially the Holy Maiden. But now Su Qiaoran has rashly married a strange man, which has violated the rules of our Myriad Flowers Holy Land."
"Therefore, I hereby announce that Su Qiaoran's position as Holy Maiden is hereby revoked, and Murong Xue will be appointed to replace her!"
Hearing her father's words, Murong Xue felt a surge of excitement, and her eyes were full of smugness and provocation as she looked at Su Qiaoran.
But at that moment, the Grand Elder spoke up.
“Holy Lord, this move seems a bit inappropriate. Qiaoran is the most powerful genius in the history of our Myriad Flowers Holy Land. She broke through to the peak of the Great Saint before she was even a hundred years old. I think we should give Qiaoran a break.”
“That’s right, Holy Lord. Besides, we haven’t even found out who Qiaoran’s Daoist partner is yet. If she is also a prodigy, I think we can give Qiaoran a chance to continue being the Holy Maiden of my Myriad Flowers Holy Land.”
The Second Elder also spoke up, and after the First Elder and the Second Elder spoke, the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder also spoke.
"Yes, it would be too unfair to remove Qiaoran from her position as a saintess just because of this one thing."
"I feel the same way. We should give Qiaoran a chance."
Upon hearing that all four guardian elders had stepped forward, a hint of anger flashed across Murong Huang's face. He clearly hadn't expected that a mere Su Qiaoran would provoke all four guardian elders to step forward.
To know what a Dharma Protector Elder is, one must have a cultivation level that reaches the late Quasi-Emperor stage to be called a Dharma Protector Elder.
In the Myriad Flowers Holy Land, or in all the Holy Lands, only those at the Saint King Realm can become Outer Sect Elders, only those at the Supreme Realm can become Inner Sect Elders, and only those at the late Quasi-Emperor stage or above can become Guardian Elders.
Apart from the First Elder and the Second Elder, the other three elders were all in the late Quasi-Emperor stage, while the First Elder and the Second Elder were at the peak Quasi-Emperor stage.
After the five guardian elders, only the fifth elder was one of Murong Huang's men. So when the fifth elder saw the first elder and the others step forward, he came to Murong Huang's side without hesitation and spoke.
"Everyone, we have been colleagues for so long, so you should all know that the sect rules cannot be changed. The reason why our Myriad Flowers Holy Land has been able to remain strong for so many years is because of the sect rules. I admit that Su Qiaoran's talent is indeed the most powerful Holy Maiden in the history of our Myriad Flowers Holy Land, but we cannot set this precedent for Su Qiaoran."
"If the sect rules are changed arbitrarily, where will the dignity of our Myriad Flowers Holy Land be?"
"Furthermore, Murong Xue's talent is only slightly inferior to Su Qiaoran's. Making Murong Xue a saintess would not be a disgrace to our Myriad Flowers Holy Land. As for Su Qiaoran, our Myriad Flowers Holy Land will not punish her for her mistakes, but we will not make her a saintess either."
"This is what I believe to be the best solution at present."
Upon hearing the Fifth Elder's words, the Second Elder immediately began to curse.
"Get lost! How can you compare them? Qiao Ran and Murong Xue are about the same age, but one is at the peak of the Great Sage realm and the other is at the peak of the Saint realm. There's no comparison at all. Normally, I wouldn't say anything, but now that they're going to stifle a promising talent, how can I just sit idly by? Anyway, I'm making my point clear today: if Su Qiao Ran isn't a Saintess, then she might as well leave this Myriad Flowers Holy Land!"
As the Second Elder finished speaking, everyone present was shocked. They had never expected that the Second Elder would go to such lengths for Su Qiaoran.
Upon hearing this, Murong Huang's expression changed slightly, and he said in a somewhat gloomy tone.
"Second Elder, if you take back what you said now, I, the Holy Lord, can pretend I didn't hear it. What do you take our Myriad Flowers Holy Land for?"
Before the Second Elder could speak, the First Elder reassured him before finally speaking.
“Holy Lord, the treatment of Su Qiaoran was really inappropriate. If Qiaoran’s talent were ordinary, we would not say anything, but even you, Holy Lord, are only at the Saint Realm at Qiaoran’s age.”
"Moreover, with Qiaoran's talent, it's not impossible for her to lead our Myriad Flowers Holy Land to a new peak. So my suggestion is to deal with her leniently. As for that Daoist partner, killing her is fine, but the most important thing is to make Su Qiaoran continue to be a disciple of our Myriad Flowers Holy Land willingly."
The moment the Grand Elder finished speaking, he felt a chill for no apparent reason, but he quickly dismissed it. He was a quasi-Emperor at the peak of his power. In the entire Xuan Tian Realm, apart from a Saint Lord-level figure, who else could possibly harm him? It was just an illusion.
After hearing what the Grand Elder and the others said, Murong Huang pondered for a while before finally speaking.
"In that case, Su Qiaoran will have to become my personal disciple. As for the position of Holy Maiden, Su Qiaoran is no longer able to take it. In that case, let Murong Xue become the new Holy Maiden."
Although the Grand Elder and others hesitated somewhat regarding Murong Huang's decision, they did not refuse, since what they wanted was for Su Qiaoran to be of use to their Myriad Flowers Holy Land.
If geniuses of this caliber can grow up, they can make the Myriad Flowers Holy Land surpass the other three holy lands and become the strongest force in the Xuan Tian Realm.
Of course, they were unaware of the power of the Wu Clan Chamber of Commerce; otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to entertain such a strange idea.
After making his decision, Emperor Murong turned to look at everyone present and spoke while staring at Su Qiaoran.
"After discussion between the Holy Lord and the elders, it is unanimously agreed that Su Qiaoran is no longer suitable to serve as the Holy Maiden, so it has been decided that Murong Xue will serve as the Holy Maiden."
"As for Su Qiaoran, after making a decision, I, the Holy Lord, have decided to accept her as my personal disciple. I wonder if you, Su Qiaoran, are willing?"
