Chapter 464: Chapter 329 I Have A Friend…_2

“Has Elder Brother Fu returned? In the end, we both went our separate ways. Life and death are fated, it seems he went in the opposite direction to Frost Country.”

Yuan Chiye asked with concern. Fu Xingzhou had not yet returned, but Elder Ancestor Fu had reached an agreement with the Snow-blowing Palace. If they found him, they agreed to send him back.

“I hope he is also safe and sound.”

Yuan Chiye, who had also collaborated with Fu Xingzhou, sighed.

However, on the second day, Yuan Chiye was called to Shenmu Hall by the Sect Leader.

It was said that Elder Ancestor Fu was also there.

Basically all the Cultivators who were mobilized by the sect in this war and survived have returned, only Fu Xingzhou was missing.

After Yuan Chiye reported truthfully all he knew, he only received a thousand basic contributions, but he was admitted into the Shenmu Hall and became an inner hall senior manager, which is what he wished for.

Then, Meng Hong officially announced his resignation from the position of Sect Leader.

Chu Zuoshu was designated as the next Sect Leader, however, according to the rules, he still needed to decline the position three times.

But everyone knew that he was about to become the Sect Leader.

Invitations to the seven major sects were being prepared.

And after Chu Zuoshu took over Shenmu Hall, the position of the Reward Virtue Hall Master would be vacant, Luo Xue’er and Fu Huakun both started to make their own moves.

During one of his duties, Chen Mobai was called over by Luo Xue’er for a chat. This Sister who was in the late stages of Foundation Establishment was eloquent and gentle, and she tactfully asked a question in the end.

“Brother Liu, the Guard of the Founding Nation, his term will end next year. Brother Chen, are you interested?”

Guard of the Founding Nation?

Chen Mobai was surprised at her words.

The Divine Wood Sect ruled over four nations, and since Giant Tree Ridge was in Jian Country, the so-called Guard of the Founding Nation was essentially a titular position. Even if one stayed within the sect for ten years, it would still count as completing the task.

Therefore, the position of Jian Country’s Guard had always been highly competitive.

After all, if one wanted to hold important positions in the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions of the sect, one needed the experience of being a Guard.

Compared to Yun Country, Lei Nation, and Rain Country, Jian Country was undoubtedly the easiest and best choice.

Also, the spiritual energy in Giant Tree Ridge was abundant, other places could at most have Rank-3 Spirit Veins.

“If possible, that would indeed be the best.”

Chen Mobai responded, feeling that with his abilities, even if he were to become Sect Leader of Divine Wood Sect in the future, he would be more than capable.

To become Sect Leader, one definitely needed to progress step by step, and a ten-year term as a Guard was a hurdle that couldn’t be bypassed. If he could complete it within the sect, without even needing to leave, that would definitely be the best.

“I will mention this matter when the Three Halls and the Twelve Divisions discuss matters, Brother Chen, you should also prepare in advance.”

Luo Xue’er said with a smile, then she left.

Chen Mobai pondered for a while, still uncertain, he wanted to find someone to discuss it with.

Unfortunately, Chu Zuoshu had already taken over Shenmu Hall recently, busy with the succession of the Sect Leader, and he was surrounded by all sorts of bystanders.

Yue Zutao was also still in Lei Nation, acting as Guard there.

After E Yun sent Yuan Chiye back, he went back to Yun Meng Ze the next day. He was the Guard of Yun Country, still in the process of accumulating experience.

After some thought, Chen Mobai could only go to look for Sun Gaochang.

“I support Inspector Fu, but I am quite tempted by Vice Hall Master Luo’s proposal. I wonder what Brother Sun would suggest?”

“In my opinion, Brother, just go ahead and support Inspector Fu. Even if your vote is added, it won’t affect the overall situation.”

“Oh, what do you mean by this, Brother Sun?”

Chen Mobai was a little confused, but Sun Gaochang just laughed, took a sip of the new wine Chen Mobai brought.

“If I’m not mistaken, Master Chu will take over as Sect Leader, but the position of Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall should be vacant.”

“Why is that?”

Sun Gaochang stretched out two fingers indicating the sky, and then stretched out a third.

Chen Mobai thought for a while, showing a look of realization.

In the sect, the Hall Master of Shenmu Hall was Elder Ancestor Zhou, the Hall Master of Penalty Evil Hall was Elder Ancestor Fu. Only the Hall Master of Reward Virtue Hall, previously Chu Zuoshu, was because there was no third Golden Core Cultivator in the sect.

The saying goes ‘No tiger on the mountain.’

And now after Meng Hong’s resignation, because he was getting old, he would definitely reach the Golden Core stage in a short time.

If he succeeds in Core Formation, then all three hall masters will be Golden Core cultivators, which would elevate the stature of the Divine Wood Sect. It would also pave the way for Meng Hong to assume the position of Reward Virtue Hall Master.

Therefore, the position of Reward Virtue Hall Master is likely to be held open until Meng Hong’s Core Formation.

If he fails, Meng Hong, as previous Sect Leader, definitely won’t take up this position and would likely fade away, serving as an elder behind the scenes.

“Furthermore, whether Master can take up the position of the Guard of Jian Country largely depends on the Sect Leader. Vice Hall Master Luo may have proposed it, but she is not the one to make the decision,”

Sun Gaochang added, as both he and Chen Mobai were Chu Zuoshu’s direct disciples, they could now speak more openly.

“Thank you for the guidance, Brother Sun.”

With a look of enlightenment, Chen Mobai left the Spirit Plant Department.

Three days later, Chu Zuoshu officially took over as Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, issuing edicts and official documents to every Cultivator in the Sect.

However, the official ceremony would take place at the beginning of next year, giving time for the other East Wilderness Major Sects to react.

After becoming Sect Leader, Chu Zuoshu became even busier.

But the war was over and the mess created by Meng Hong had been cleared up before his resignation, so all Chu Zuoshu had to do was distribute the compensation to the injured disciples, which was the most troublesome task.

Especially those who were poisoned with the Broken Pulse Bead Poisonous Gas. Despite the Alchemy Department’s full force treatment, many people’s foundation were damaged and cultivation could be delayed by two to three years.

This wasn’t a big issue for the younger Cultivators, but for those aiming to compete for the true teachings of the sect, they might miss out on the Foundation Building Pill.

Xie Yuntian from the Sword Training Department suggested delaying the production of the Foundation Building Pill by three years.

Chu Zuoshu thought this made sense, but there were many objections. He was unsure whether to take this decision or not.

As a result, a dispute began among the three halls and twelve departments over this issue.

During the war between two sects, the disciples of the Sword Training, Body Forging, and Formation Departments were almost completely out on the field in Lei Nation. The impact of Broken Pulse Bead was severe on them. To secure their disciples’ future, the department heads didn’t hesitate to argue publicly.

It’s interesting when cultivators start a fight.

However, Chen Mobai heard about this from Xi Yisheng. As the deputy head of the Sword Training Department, he had the privilege to attend and listen to the discussions.

Meanwhile, as the high-ups of the Divine Wood Sect were arguing, Yu Lian, and Mu Yuan had finally been able to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm.

Lu Yi from the Transmission Department had used this opportunity to excuse himself from the argument.

Chen Mobai, who had been eagerly waiting for this day, arrived at the Secret Realm of the Divine Tree in advance to wait.

His real body was in front of the Magic Treasure Tree and his Avatara puppet was in front of the Talent Tree, to avoid any unforeseen accidents.

In the sky, the silver light was flickering. Then there was a crack in the void, like a black lightning, splitting a jagged gap.

Two people descended from this gap in the void.

It was Yu Lian and Mu Yuan.

After entering, the two of them immediately controlled their magic artifacts to stop the freefall and landed in the dense forest below.

Chen Mobai, who had been waiting for three days, finally welcomed the arrival of Yu Lian.

As obedient as ever, he took out the Wood Spiritual Talisman in front of the Magic Treasure Tree and ignited it, then disappeared on the spot.

When he reappeared, he was holding an unopened yellow fruit.

There was curiosity on Yu Lian’s face, but he didn’t open the fruit in the end, instead, putting it into his storage bag.

Then he flew toward the direction of the Talent Tree.

Chen Mobai nodded, but in his mind, he wondered why Mu Yuan hadn’t come over yet.

He waited for five long days, but neither in front of the Magic Treasure Tree nor the Talent Tree, did Mu Yuan appear.

[Did he go to the Divine Dao Tree and tried the trial, only to be directly teleported outside?]

Chen Mobai thought of this possibility, and he broke into a cold sweat.

He felt that it’s not beyond Mu Yuan’s character to do this.

Hopefully, he wouldn’t fall short of success here!

Chen Mobai grit his teeth and took out a Message Talisman to find Mu Yuan.

He discovered that it was working, which meant that Mu Yuan was still inside the Secret Realm of the Divine Tree.

What on earth was he doing?

Chen Mobai, who let out a sigh of relief, noticed Yu Lian at the Talent Tree.

With this mystery, he followed the Message Talisman and flew towards where Mu Yuan was.
