Following the senior disciple’s taunt, the two quickly silenced their chatter, exchanged glances, and grinned sheepishly.
Wen Ping glanced around the room, finally fixing his gaze on Yun Liao and Yang Lele.
Yang Lele, the Senior Disciple of the Immortal Sect.
Yun Liao, the Grand Elder of the Immortal Sect.
Both practiced magic and possessed the qualifications to cultivate in the Sea Thought Pavilion, making the second stage of spiritual power merely a matter of time.
For securing the Red Domain top spot, Wen Ping didn’t consider the newly joined disciples but rather made a choice between them.
Yang Lele is a viable choice.
Yun Liao is also a possibility.
Neither have reached 40 years of age.
"Elder Yun, has your spiritual power shown any signs of reaching the second stage?" Wen Ping looked at Yun Liao.
Yun Liao hurriedly replied, "Sect Leader, I’ve yet to hit the limit of the first stage; there’s still quite some way to go to the second stage."
Hearing this, Wen Ping glanced at Yang Lele before deliberating a moment and ultimately chose Yun Liao, "Elder Yun, in that case, you’ll take the top spot in the Red Domain. During this time, all matters of the sect will be handed over to Elder Qin Shan, you just need to focus on cultivation."
"Me, Sect Leader?"
Yun Liao was shocked.
"Elder Yun, show some confidence!"
"Elder Yun, you can do it!"
"We believe in you!"
The elders and disciples started to cheer, envious of Elder Yun.
However, the newly joined disciples were stunned, realizing Elder Yun hadn’t reached 40 and met the criteria for competing, yet he’s only at the Divine Profound Realm.
The top spot in the Red Domain with the Divine Profound Realm?
Seeing the curious and surprised expressions in the crowd, Long Yue explained, "Elder Yun cultivates the magic lineage, not the Meridian Gate."
Everyone suddenly realized.
So Elder Yun cultivates magic.
This Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking will be lively!
Magic will be showcased to the world for the first time and seize the top spot forcefully!
All the disciples could envision the startled expressions of the Red Domain’s populace.
Yet at that moment, Yun Liao kept shaking his head, "Sect Leader, I can’t, truly I can’t! This opportunity should be given to them; they’re still young!"
Wen Ping chuckled helplessly, "Elder Yun, are you really that old? It’s decided, the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension List Red Domain top spot belongs to you!"
Yun Liao continued shaking his head.
Because he believed this chance should be given to the sect disciples.
Disciples need opportunities to showcase themselves and need more glory to enrich their lives.
As an elder, his main duty is managing the sect and nurturing more exceptional disciples, not seeking the limelight!
However, regardless of how much Yun Liao shook his head, Wen Ping’s decision was already made, so everyone started congratulating Yun Liao.
The Sect Leader’s decree cannot be changed at will.
So if it’s Yun Liao, then it’s definitely Yun Liao!
"Congratulations, Elder Yun!"
"Elder Yun, it’s your turn to shine this time."
"Elder Yun, tonight you must treat us to a movie and buy popcorn and cola!"
Everyone laughed and congratulated, completely drowning out Yun Liao’s voice.
Wen Ping patted the shoulder of Yun Liao, who still hoped to hand the opportunity to the disciples, and then said, "Believe in yourself, you can do it!"
After saying that, Wen Ping left the kitchen and returned to Tingyu Pavilion.
