Chapter 814: Chapter 449: Who’s Responsible for Acting on Impulse?

Li Ye very easily and pleasantly set aside the sect’s affairs.

Hmm.

Now he’s just a patient, one who needs protection!

The Sect Leader was a bit puzzled when he found out about this matter.

He personally came to inquire:

"Do you need me to arrange for some people to help you?"

Li Ye, who was bending over digging a hole in the nursery, quickly waved his hand to refuse: "No, I don’t want that power anyway."

"Now it’s all on the right track, just let me hold an honorary title in the future."

"Besides..."

He straightened up, spread his hands, and said: "I’m approaching the late period of the Nascent Soul stage."

"I feel that such power is of no use to me anymore."

"In consideration of my current suffering, please quickly find someone to take over the City Lord’s duties."

The Sect Leader was taken aback by these words.

Suddenly he realized.

That’s right.

This guy’s cultivation is advancing so quickly.

It wouldn’t be surprising if he suddenly came up and said he wants to achieve Divinity Transformation, and if he’s still managing these matters and suddenly needs to enter seclusion, that would be troublesome.

His intention was to gradually pass some of the sect’s authority to Li Ye, allowing him to have his own influence, but he forgot that this guy is still a genius in cultivation.

How many years has it been?

From a small practitioner who just entered the sect to now nearly reaching the late period of the Nascent Soul stage.

"Sigh."

"I’ve restrained you."

The Sect Leader sighed: "I thought of gradually transferring the authority of the Four Seasons Sect to you, but I forgot that your ambition is not here.

That’s my mistake."

"..."

Li Ye showed a slightly horrified expression on his face.

Quickly shook his head:

"What are you saying? I am very grateful to you, Uncle Master, for entrusting so much authority to me, it’s just that I suddenly feel a bit lazy and want to rest."

Instead of affecting his mind, the Tribulation Qi seemed to activate his true self; he felt he had already done enough during this time.

Why couldn’t he take a break?

He was ready to pick some fruits and vegetables and invite some friends to gather at the Xiang River residence.

The Sect Leader glanced at him.

"Take a good rest."

Then he waved his sleeve to dispel the Water Mirror.

He looked toward Ancestor Master Su Xing, who was sitting beside him, and asked:

"Is this Tribulation Qi, or is it his true thought?"

At this time, Ancestor Master Su Xing was molding stars with astral clay; hearing this, he casually replied:

"That is not important."

"What matters is that this method of his could truly end the great tribulation, which fulfills his responsibility to the sect."

"If he doesn’t want it, then stop fixating on him."

But the Sect Leader was still somewhat reluctant.

Li Ye actually handled everything very well.

The key was that this kid always had some peculiar ideas, often coming up with things he himself couldn’t understand, yet they always turned out right by coincidence.

And as the Sect Leader.

From a personal perspective, he hoped that such a successor would take over.

This is the position of Sect Leader of the Tao Furnace Realm’s Seven Great Sects, after all.

It’s certainly not a disgraceful position, right?

"It’s indeed important for you," said Ancestor Master Su Xing, "but it truly doesn’t matter to him, I can see that as well.

His future path is likely the so-called ethereal Immortal Dao.

Do not trouble him with worldly affairs anymore.

Or, as he suggested, just let him hold a nominal title."

Upon saying this, he seemed to feel he was being too harsh.

He softened his tone and said:

"I know you have the sect’s best interests at heart, but clearly, this child’s ambitions are not here, so why make things difficult for him?"

In fact, the Sect Leader understood these things very well.

If he didn’t understand these things after being the Sect Leader for so many years, then the entire Four Seasons Sect would indeed be finished.

However, he was like that old fellow who wanted to give all the good things to his successors, forgetting that they might not need these things.

"It seems I’m indeed old."

The Sect Leader sat on the reclining chair.

He looked toward Ancestor Master and asked:

"How about Su Xing’s second disciple?"

Ancestor Master shook his head:

"He probably isn’t interested in this either. You’re still young, why not consider nurturing another disciple?"

"How about that child from the Su Family?"

"Not a good fit either, Su Yu is a bit peculiar."

"Hmm? What?"

The relaxed Sect Leader immediately sat up straight.

Su Yu is a bit peculiar?

He suddenly felt a headache.

Su Yu was the one he hoped would succeed besides Su Xing’s second disciple. In the Cultivator world, ultimately, the strong, or rather, the capable are respected.

The distinction between male and female has long ceased to be important.

After all, there are numerous female gods, female immortals, and even a Female Saint.

As for the Su Family’s situation, their cultivation poses no issue.

As long as the Sect Leader announces his desire for her to succeed now.

Various powers would willingly be delivered to Su Yu’s hands.

The Su Family would also become a well-known great family in the Four Seasons Sect—this was also a bit of compensation for Su Huan.

"That child seems to have made a pact with an old acquaintance of mine from the Gnostic School." Ancestor Master halted what he was doing.

His fingers were still stained with starry, luminous clay.

His tone seemed somewhat nostalgic:

"You should know that when I created the Nine Songs Dharma Method, I borrowed a bit from the legends of the Gnostic School."

"But at that time, the Gnostic School was quite normal, and I had some words with their Ancestor Master."

"After all, he was a direct descendant of the Purple Sky Palace, and if you talk about it, he was more capable than me, a disciple of Nuwa."

These are matters he rarely mentions.

Now that he brings it up, he only feels somewhat sighful.

The Purple Sky Palace has been shrouded in Tribulation Qi, closed for countless years, and even the once divine Jade Dishware disappeared along with Nuwa’s Five-Colored Stones used to mend the heavens.
