Chapter 743: 313: White-Hair Succeeds as the Longevity Sect Leader!
One Person, One Mountain, This is Immortal (Extra Chapter for Monthly Tickets)_2 Chapter 743: 313: White-Hair Succeeds as the Longevity Sect Leader!
One Person, One Mountain, This is Immortal (Extra Chapter for Monthly Tickets)_2 Chen Dengming was stunned, feeling increasingly that the current atmosphere was off, and was about to speak when…
At this moment, Xing Huiguang suddenly held up the [Longevity Jade Seal] in his hands, earnest and serious, and handed it to Chen Dengming, saying, “It’s our Longevity Sect’s long-standing rule that if the current Sect Leader breaks through the Nascent Soul stage, they should voluntarily abdicate and pass the [Longevity Jade Seal] and the position of Sect Leader to the next one.
This [Longevity Jade Seal] should have been given to you many years ago, now that it’s handed over, I have fulfilled my duty!”
Chen Dengming sat there dumbfounded, staring at the [Longevity Jade Seal] that was handed over to him.
Although he had sensed something amiss early on, the reality of his ascension to Sect Leader was happening now.
It felt absurd, almost comical, and he was dazed.
...
The moment he collected his thoughts, Chen Dengming hastily stood up, “Brother Xing…”
“Hey!”
Xing Huiguang also stood up, shoving the [Longevity Jade Seal] into Chen Dengming’s arms like a farmer just pulling a radish out of the ground.
“When I say I’m passing the position to you, I’m passing it to you.
I know you are humble, but it does no good here, it’s your turn for the duties of the Sect Leader.
Chen Dengming hurriedly caught the [Longevity Jade Seal] that was thrown at him, fearing that it would shatter if it fell, though that was unlikely to happen.
But hearing Xing Huiguang’s dismissive words, he couldn’t help but find it amusing.
But, as soon as he got hold of the [Longevity Jade Seal], he could clearly feel the Heavenly Immortal Dao Power within him becoming more vibrant.
This [Longevity Jade Seal] seemed to be filled with Heavenly Immortal Dao Power, which he found incredibly alluring, as though it could resonate with the Heavenly Immortal Dao Power in his body.
“Given the absence of our brothers and ancestors, let us simplify this succession.”
Su Yanyan gazed at Chen Dengming at this time, her face lit up with an encouraging smile, saying, “According to the rules of succession in our Sect, the position can be passed to a Daozi who is alive and competent.
The other candidates won’t even be considered.
Only when a Daozi isn’t present or capable, should other candidates be considered.
An elder’s executive meeting will be convened to discuss and select the successor.
Your performance over the years has proven you can take the responsibilities of the Longevity Sect Leader!”
Chen Dengming looked at Su Yanyan’s encouraging and serene expression, finding himself at a loss for words, despite his usually eloquence.
Perhaps this was…
the feeling of being loved and cared for by his Martial Uncle?
In the subsequent process, Su Yanyan and Xing Huiguang finalized the Sect Leader succession with mutual discussions.
Chen Dengming felt as if he had ascended to the position of the Longevity Sect Leader in a daze.
All he needed to do was attend the formal succession ceremony a few days later, complete the ceremony of worshipping the Heavenly Immortal, and officially notify all the disciples of the Longevity Sect as well as the cultivator representatives of various affiliated forces.
Then he would officially become the Sect Leader of the Longevity Sect.
According to Su Yanyan, he was still young and full of potential.
Unlike the time when the Four Regions Nascent Soul agreements were in force, he doesn’t need to suppress his cultivation.
Instead, due to the threat of both internal and external wars, he needed to enhance his power as quickly as possible.
Therefore, even if he took over the reins of leadership, he could primarily focus on cultivation.
He could delegate the Sect’s affairs to an incarnation, with the assistance of Guan Chao and other elders.
This arrangement appealed to Chen Dengming and dispelled the last of his doubts and hesitations, leading him to feel somewhat embarrassed.
His ascension to power felt…
a bit too easy.
However, he then thought about his past struggles for survival in the Land of Fallen and his tireless efforts to find the Sect’s whereabouts after reaching the East Immortal Sea.
Upon finding the Sect’s base, he spared no effort in supporting and guarding the Sect…
It seemed that his journey had been quite arduous and he earned his position as Sect Leader, making it a life-saving mandate rather than one easily gained.
Thinking about it more cynically, the fact that Xing Huiguang’s [Longevity Jade Seal] was given to him a few years later, might have been because the other Martial Uncles were still observing and testing him.
…
In the following days, the Longevity Sect quickly became lively.
Many disciples of Longevity had already received news of the Longevity Daozi’s promotion to Sect Leader.
All the major powers affiliated with the Longevity Sect also received invitations to the inauguration ceremony of the new Longevity Sect Leader.
In a few days, Su Yanyan and Xing Huiguang met separately with Guan Chao and the other elders to ask who approved and who opposed, ensuring that no one caused trouble on the day of the inauguration ceremony.
Although the possibility was slim, it ultimately involved the dignity of the Sect and the face of the Sect Leader.
It should not be taken lightly, and the due process still had to be followed.
…
Inside the cave dwelling of a Daoist at Hazardous Peak.
Chen Dengming picked up the Spirit Pen in his hand and pretended to write and draw on the jade token.
He soon put it down reluctantly and turned to look at He Yingyu in the hall, who was busily selecting a suitable style of robe with the help of the Mini Array Spirit.
“My dear sister, I’ve told you, our Longevity Sect already has a Sect Leader’s Robe.
You can wear that directly.
There’s no need to make another one.
It’s too expensive and laborious for you.”
“It’s fine.
It’s fine.”
He Yingyu unfolded several design drawings in front of the Mini Array Spirit and was so busy that she didn’t even have time to look back at Chen Dengming.
“Hey, little martial brother, you don’t have to worry about anything, just do as I say.
The Sect Leader’s Robe is good, but after the ceremony, we will be hosting and serving guests at the banquet.
It’s not good to still be wearing that conservative robe.
We should dress more brightly and dazzling, not only you but also the Black Cloud Leopard….”
As she spoke, He Yingyu pulled out a few shining saddle designs for the Black Cloud Leopard and handed them to Chen Dengming with a smile.
“See, people judge by clothing, and leopards by their saddles.
This saddle, I specifically designed it to reveal the two rows of characters on its underbelly, letting all the Daoists know that this is our Chen Family Leopard….”
At the entrance of the cave dwelling, the eavesdropping Black Cloud Leopard’s eyes lit up instantly.
With its mouth wide open, it emitted restrained laughter, as if it had already imagined the moment when it would majestically stride as the Chen Family Leopard.
“Well, have it your way, as long as you’re happy, I’m fine with it.”
Chen Dengming shook his head, and suddenly noticed a ‘silken stockings’ style in He Yingyu’s female robe design.
He was stunned and stared at it, somewhat bewildered.
“Sister, you said this…you only wear it at home, not for others to see.”
He Yingyu let out a startled ‘yelp’, her pretty face instantly blushing a bright red.
She quickly put away the drawings and narrow-eyed Chen Dengming.
“This is what I’m going to wear in the cave dwelling at night.
It was originally a surprise I secretly prepared for you.
You are too sharp-eyed…..”
The Mini Array Spirit on the side turned crimson with embarrassment.
It tried to act innocent, but the red soon spread to the tips of its ears.
Chen Dengming understood her meaning.
He held his forehead and turned his head away to look at the Spirit Runes, not saying or asking any more.
He knew he could rely on his sister’s arrangement.
At this moment, he felt his over a hundred years of experience was not enough.
He was still too young.
He had already taught her everything he knew, but she was now leading the way.
However, this was also good.
It provided a touch of ‘humanity’, ‘worldliness’, and ‘life’ to the indifferent cultivator lifestyle that had spanned over a hundred years.

Cultivating to become an immortal, a person becomes a mountain.
Only when the person comes before the mountain, can they become an immortal.
If in the end, cultivation leads to a complete loss of the original humanity, the character ‘immortal’ would lose the element of ‘human’, turning it into a mountain.
Mountains are emotionless, people change as they experience love and loss, everything from the past dissipates like smoke.
Who you once were, human or ghost, may have been forgotten or lost.
Then what is there about remembering the original aspiration, the Evergreen Daoist path…
