Chapter 1328 Taking over Power and the Question of Faction
"Then let Wanfayi take over the position of the headmaster?" Yu Zhenzi asked Pei Xuanjing tentatively.
The trial finally ended, or the first trial of the Wanfa Realm, that is, the trial of those strongest people, ended.
This trial was eye-catching at the beginning, attracting countless strongest people to participate, and the strongest people trial that all true immortals and immortal gates paid attention to. Although it was later diverted by the appearance of the Supreme Divine Power, the fight between the Taoist Lord, and the incident caused by Qinglingshi Laojun, it seemed a bit anticlimactic, but it ended smoothly in the end.
After they moved to another place, they carried out the second round of trials. The strong people from all sides fought against each other. Some of the strongest people made great progress in the face of the threat of life and death, and some people almost broke their Dao hearts in the face of the crushing of the strong people of the same realm.
But there is no doubt that this trial made these strongest people conduct a truly cruel trial, and because Pei Xuanjing's action saved their lives, and the opportunities and fortunes given by them were of great help to their future practice.
Especially in the next era, the chaos of heaven and earth will be revealed, and the strong men from all sides are ready to move. Perhaps the fight between the true immortals will be cautious at the beginning, but the strongest will inevitably become the main force for the fight between all parties at the beginning.
After this trial, they have a very deep understanding of themselves and their opponents, which will also help the future. As long as they can survive the chaos in the future, they will have a bright future in all likelihood.
Moreover, this time they have also gained a lot. As long as they can really persist to the end, they have almost completely opened up the road to the true immortals. They only need to go back and digest what they have gained to prove their true immortality.
Of course, for those top-level strongest overlords, some of them originally have the qualifications to challenge the true immortals, and the door to the true immortals has long been opened for them. They can get a higher ranking and get more abundant rewards.
If they really go back to digest what they have gained and prove their true immortality, not to mention directly ascending to the third level of the true immortals, but they have a 70% to 80% chance of directly stepping into the second level of the true immortals by skipping the first level of the true immortals.
As a strong contender for the successor of the head of the Shenxiao Sect, Wan Fayi's performance this time is also remarkable.
It is true that in the first round of trials, he tried to dominate the overall situation and use magical skills to plot against the people on the side of the Jade Emperor. In the end, some mistakes occurred, but this matter is actually nothing. Instead, the power of the formation laid a solid foundation for him.
While waiting for the second round, with the help of his deep foundation accumulated in the first round, Wan Fayi passed all the way, defeated countless opponents, and won the quota for the last round of trials.
It is said that the second round of trials is actually the simplest and clearest, without too many complicated situations. Even if it is related to some luck, it is only for the strongest who are not strong enough.
Indeed, in this second round of competition, if you can meet some weaker opponents or restrained opponents, it will be a great advantage for you to win.
But this is for some strong people whose strength is not completely able to sweep everything. However, as long as the strength is strong enough, luck will have a certain impact, but it will not really stop them.
This trial ring is not a true single elimination method, but is similar to a round-robin tournament, which means that even if you lose one or two times due to bad luck, as long as you have enough strength, you can turn defeat into victory and break out of the siege again.
This also means that strength is the real foundation, and luck can only determine part of it, especially in the later ring duels, all of which rely on real skills, not a simple luck.
Of course, if there is really a strong person whose own strength is not particularly outstanding, but can rely on his own luck to get to the end, such a heaven-defying luck is actually part of his own strength, even if others will not despise it.
The Heavenly Court Development Plan has lasted for so many years, and all kinds of people have appeared. The strongest people who can participate in this trial are not short-sighted. Even if there are arrogant people, they are not ignorant. They will think that some people just rely on luck to underestimate the other party.
It is not that they will not underestimate the other party because of this. On the contrary, they are particularly concerned about such opponents and are particularly vigilant.
To be honest, it is normal for those powerful opponents to attract attention. On the contrary, those with great luck are more difficult to deal with than those with strong strength.
Luck is sometimes unreasonable. When encountering some problems, even if one's own strength is strong, one cannot solve them. On the contrary, those with great luck can easily find some solutions in the impossible.
The real strong will not underestimate any opponent. These beings with great luck are more difficult to deal with. Those with strong strength will not have the slightest contempt and will be cautious.
So this second round of trials is actually more cruel and real. Relying entirely on their own strength, the strongest who want to take shortcuts may be able to reach a certain level, but this is their limit. It is absolutely impossible to continue to improve.
Wanfayi can compete for the top position in such a trial, which is already quite outstanding. In addition to his planning in the first round, it is already a good score in Yu Zhenzi's eyes.
There are countless disciples in the entire Shenxiao Sect, and there are many disciples at the level of the strongest. There is no shortage of strong strength and extraordinary scheming, but the fact that they are both so outstanding has already made Yu Zhenzi quite satisfied.
After the third round of trials, many of the strongest left and returned to the Shenzhou world, and Yu Zhenzi began to ask about the arrangements for Wan Fayi and others.
After all, at the beginning of the second round, he had already discussed with Pei Xuanjing and got a promise that as long as Wan Fayi could perform well in this trial, he could let him try to take over some of the affairs of the Shenxiao Sect and wait for the right time to truly succeed the position of the headmaster.
Speaking of the development of the Shenxiao Sect to the current level, even Pang Hong once considered resigning, but he never really made up his mind. Even if he had made some preparations for the training of backup successors, he did not really go all out.
After all, Shenxiao Sect is no longer the small sect it once was. Today, Shenxiao Sect has become a top sect that spans the heavens and seas, with countless disciples. Various factions are inevitable in this top sect.
As a direct disciple of the Taoist Immortal Pei Xuanjing, Pang Hong is powerful and powerful. He can easily reconcile all the affairs within Shenxiao Sect. Even if there are conflicts of interest between the parties, they can be easily resolved with Pang Hong's prestige.
Pang Hong can sit in this position, and he will be relatively fair in dealing with some things. After all, his status does not involve all parties. Even if he wants to make peace with the mud, no one dares to do anything rash.
But for the latecomers, even if they have the power of the real immortal, it is not easy to truly control the various factions of the entire Shenxiao Sect, because sometimes these problems are not just because of strength, and they cannot be settled just because of brute force.
Even if Pang Hong wanted to train some people, he would not dare to give these disciples the corresponding authority without making up his mind. This would not only be of no benefit to them, but would also put them in the center of the storm.
And the most important thing is that in the process of their growth, the Shenxiao Sect did not rise from nothing, but was already a giant top-level immortal sect. These people were unconsciously influenced by some factions during their rise.
Only outstanding juniors are qualified to be seen by Pang Hong, qualified to be recognized by him, and will be slowly regarded as future heirs.
However, the disciples who can also rise from the huge immortal sect of the Shenxiao Sect are not ordinary people. In this process of rise, Pang Hong can see their excellence, and the other factions will naturally see their excellence, and will attract and invest.
Even for these disciples, sometimes it is the factions that see their excellence first, not Pang Hong. After all, even if Pang Hong wants to discover talents, he needs to wait for them to grow for a period of time.
This means that the rising stars in the Shenxiao Sect cannot avoid being associated with various factions. Even if they do not directly join a certain faction, they are still on good terms with it and can get support and reinforcement from the other party.
Even if Wan Fayi, who is favored by Yu Zhenzi, showed excellent talent very early, but if he wants to follow the path of Wan Fa, he will inevitably need investment in the early stage. Even if those who invest do not seek returns, the close relationship between the two sides will naturally make Wan Fayi inclined.
When it comes to the level of the strongest, except for a small number of disciples of the entire Shenxiao Sect who are independent and focus on practicing without paying attention to external things, all parties have already been supported by many people, and even they themselves are the core and leaders of a certain faction.
The people around them are part of their rise, their assistants in promoting their own will, and the mouthpieces for their own voices. They are also the protectors of these people.
Fighting alone, without any support, it is too difficult to ascend to the position of the headmaster of Shenxiao Sect, almost impossible, unless one is strong enough to suppress all disobedience.
But even so, if they really ascend to the position of the headmaster and want to take charge of the affairs of Shenxiao Sect, they also need assistants and help. It is absolutely impossible for one person to do it by himself, so a new faction will gradually form around them.
Therefore, the existence of factions is not clear at all for top immortal sects like Shenxiao Sect. Pang Hong and others also acquiesce to this point. After all, this is also a way to strengthen the power of Shenxiao Sect in a certain way.
However, acquiescence is acquiescence, but all this needs to be within the control range. These contradictions and frictions must not affect the interests of Shenxiao Sect, or even affect the direction of Shenxiao Sect. This is an absolutely unshakable point.
Therefore, for the next headmaster who will inherit Shenxiao Sect, even if the Taoist Immortal Pei Xuanjing nods his approval, Yu Zhenzi, who is actually handling the affairs of Shenxiao Sect, will not make such a hasty decision and let Wanfayi succeed immediately.
He was able to pass the trial of the All Dharma Realm, which proved that he had the qualifications, means, and ability to hold this position.
But when he really gets to this position, whether he can be impartial and reasonably handle the conflicts between the various factions, control the development direction of Shenxiao Sect, and prevent one faction from dominating, so that Tai'a will affect the upper echelons of Shenxiao Sect, this still needs to be investigated in the next step.
Pang Hong wants to step down, which does not mean that he can just select someone randomly and then announce it to the public and let the other party take over. This requires a process, a process of gradually giving up power, allowing the other party to continue to grow and learn, and understand the many internal secrets and power of the Shenxiao Sect.
"Let Wanfayi be the main one, and the others be the auxiliary ones. Let them each take over part of the power of the head of the sect and see how they do it next." Yu Zhenzi expressed his thoughts.
Wanfayi did do very well in this trial, but the others were slightly inferior, but it was not to say that they were not good enough, but Wanfayi was particularly outstanding.
Therefore, giving Wanfayi more authority does not mean that the rest of the people will be completely vacant. They can also get some authority, and then see how they really execute it. This is still a process of inspection.
The only person in Shenxiao Sect who can really make his words count is Pei Xuanjing, the Taoist of Longevity. Others, even Pang Hong, cannot do it.
Although Pang Hong is the head of the sect, it does not mean that Pang Hong will do everything himself. This is impossible. Only after he really sits in the position of the head of the sect will you know how many affairs Pang Hong is responsible for. He is simply unable to do everything.
Therefore, the head of Shenxiao Sect is in charge of all affairs, but this is only a general direction of control. The real implementation of specific affairs is handed over to elders such as Yu Zhenzi to execute.
Just like the matter of Fenglei Shengzhu, this is the will of Shenxiao Sect and Pang Hong’s idea, but the real execution is handed over to Yu Zhenzi.
Since Pang Hong wants to abdicate, the other elders will gradually hand over some of their authority, regardless of whether they want to stay in this position or not. However, it is impossible for everyone to stay. Except for a few, most of them will have to let new people take over. (End of this chapter)
