Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 713: Provisional Council of Elders

"Haha, I see. Then I wish your sect prosperity. Our Liangyi City is very tolerant. If you want to build a mountain gate there, you can come to me and I will choose a good location for you!"

Li Chenshui laughed and did not continue the topic.

He was just expressing his attitude, not really needing the other party to join the sect. A Divine Transformation cultivator was dispensable to the Liangyi Sect.

If he knew that Chen Lin was only at the Golden Core stage now, he would probably care even less.

Chen Lin was also tactful enough not to disturb the other party, but turned his gaze towards the Murong family.

Not only him, all the cultivators were paying attention to the Murong family, waiting for the results of their examination of the corpse, and many people were gathering there.

Suddenly, Chen Lin's expression changed. He saw Lan Die'er and Lan Zhihan in the crowd of Murong family. These two people were actually talented!

But I guess his talent level is not very high. I didn’t see him before, so he must have come later.

He thought about it and didn't act rashly.

Everyone here is gifted. If he rashly uses his talents, he will most likely be sensed. Anyway, he doesn't know how to leave yet, so there's no need to rush.

Moreover, he didn't know what the other party's innate abilities were, and he couldn't guarantee that his innate abilities could definitely suppress the other party.

Luo Qinglan also saw it, glanced at Chen Lin, and after understanding Chen Lin's intentions, he no longer paid attention to it.

After a while, the Murong family finished examining the corpse. A middle-aged man stood up and said loudly, "There is no energy left on the corpse. We cannot know the specific cause of death now. However, a strong man from our Murong family has died. Next, it is your turn to select people to conduct experiments. You can't just wait like this."

Everyone looked at each other and no one answered.

In this situation, going up there would basically mean suicide, and no one wants to be a signpost.

The middle-aged man from the Murong family frowned when he saw this, and then said, "Since no one is willing to go up, I think we need to form a temporary elders' council, with the leaders of the major forces serving as elders, and everyone should work together to come up with a charter. Otherwise, there will always be people who want to reap the fruits of others' labor, which is not fair to those who have contributed."

"Okay, I think this method is feasible!"

Someone immediately agreed.

"I agree!"

"We in the Qingshan Sect also agree!"

Then one after another people agreed.

The Murong family has a strong appeal in the Tianfang Continent, and there is really no other way at this moment.

Although some independent cultivators were unwilling, they did not dare to raise it, and they had no reason to object, otherwise it would confirm their idea of wanting to reap the benefits without doing anything else.

However, the selection of elders for the Provisional Elders' Council has sparked controversy. Some people believe that it should be determined based on the level of cultivation, with those at the Nascent Soul stage automatically getting the position of elder, and those at the Spirit Transformation stage being selected. Others believe that it should be determined based on power, with the managers of the major sects and cities taking on the position.

There is also a group of people who believe that since it is a matter for talented people, it should be distributed according to the level of their talent.

This matter concerns everyone's vital interests, and the competition is extremely fierce.

Because once the Elders' Council is formed, it will have the power of command and can largely determine a person's life and death.

Chen Lin glanced at the middle-aged man from the Murong family. This move of the other party was very powerful, because no matter which method was used to select people, the Murong family would always be invincible. They had the largest number of people and the greatest fame, so they could not be avoided no matter how the selection was made.

As long as this Council of Elders is established, they will naturally gain control of this place.

He even suspected that the Elder Qian who had just died was probably an old cultivator with a short life span, and was put forward by the other party to stimulate discussion.

But no matter what, the establishment of a Presbyterian Church was the general trend, and it was decided after some debate.

First of all, talent and ability as a screening criterion was abandoned, because no one is willing to reveal their talents, so there is no way to judge them.

Therefore, more than 30 candidates were selected based on the strength of their cultivation and power, and the Murong family alone occupied three places.

As one of the largest sects in Tianfang Continent, Liangyi Sect also occupied a position, that is, Li Chenshui. Unfortunately, Chen Baiquan's cultivation was only at the initial stage of Spirit Transformation, and the other few were even lower, so none of them were selected. Otherwise, with the status of Liangyi Sect, it could have had two places.

However, they still occupy two positions in this group, the other one is Alan.

Chen Lin had never expected this. The other party only revealed his identity as the Fairy of Wuzhen Tower and immediately gained the unanimous support of several major forces, which surprised him greatly.

It is impossible for the powerful people from these big forces to be so obsessed with sex that they would give up their interests at such a critical moment, which means that the background of Wuzhen Tower is really not simple.

He also discovered that in addition to Alan, there were several fairies from Wuzhen Tower, but their status did not seem to be higher than Alan's. After seeing Alan reveal his identity, they all gathered around him, making their group frequently attract attention.

Chen Lin was also sure that not all descendants of the true spirits and gifted people in the Tianfang Continent were pulled in here. Even though there were more than 10,000 people here, there might be some who had not come from far away, but the group of cultivators in the entire continent was so huge that it was impossible that there were only these.

The number of gifted people is very small, but the number of descendants of true spirits is extremely large.

Because the descendants of the true spirit are inherited through blood, once there is one, it forms a family. For example, the Gu family of Gu Shengjin has thousands of clansmen with blood talents, and there are so many blood families on the continent that if they all come, the number would be more than times that.

Therefore, the selection of people by the Immortal Monument is conditional. Those whose bloodline is too thin or whose talents and abilities are too weak will be abandoned.

After the Council of Elders was formed, it immediately made a decision to continue testing the Immortal Monument.

They divided all the people into thirty teams according to their sphere of influence, assigned each team a number, and then decided the order by drawing lots. The winning team then chose its own candidates.

The first number drawn was number 10. Coincidentally, it was led by Xiaoyun City, a large coastal city that Chen Lin had visited before.

The leader of this group was also a powerful cultivator at the Void Refinement stage, and he quickly decided on the candidate, who was an old cultivator with white hair.

The team did not continue to draw lots, but promised the old man a huge profit. The old man was only at the foundation-building stage and had not much time left. After receiving the promise, he immediately came to the bottom of the immortal monument with a fearless attitude, and then used the flying technique to slowly rise up.

Because his cultivation level was too low, the magic power he could mobilize was minimal, and his ascension speed was extremely slow. He even swallowed two pills along the way, and only arrived at the bottom of the immortal monument half a quarter of an hour later.

Everyone fell silent again and stared at each other closely.

But what made everyone frown was that the situation was the same as before. After the other party placed his hand on the immortal monument, there was no sound and no response no matter how they called.

After a while, it fell from a high altitude and turned into a pile of dry bones!

“Try again!”

The head of the Murong family spoke in a cold voice and then began to draw lots.

The number drawn this time was number 22, and the other side also sent out an old man. It seemed that they had mastered the trick. People with a short lifespan were not afraid of death, and there were hundreds of people in a team. It was easy for everyone to pool funds together to raise a reward that was attractive enough. Even if they couldn't use it themselves, they could leave it to their families.

This old man's cultivation had reached the Golden Core stage, so his speed was slightly faster. When he arrived at the bottom of the Immortal Monument and was about to make a move, he heard the elder of the Murong Family say, "Change position!"

The old man nodded, flew up again, flew to the middle of the giant monument, and then placed his palm on it.

At this moment, something strange happened!
