Chương 201: The Name of the Deputy Sect Leader

Guang Chengzi and Maitreya Daojun stared wide-eyed at the group of Great Luo Golden Immortals behind Fang Yang, their minds nearly losing focus.

Guang Chengzi and Maitreya Daojun did not believe that Fang Yang had the potential to attain the Primordial Chaos Realm. No matter how high Fang Yang's talent for cultivation was, he could only cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Primordial Golden Immortal Realm at most.

They will reach that level sooner or later.

However, if Fang Yang, who became powerful first, could inspire others to become powerful later, Fang Yang would become incredibly terrifying.

If Fang Yang were to develop the Jie Sect into a sect where the average cultivation level is at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, how could the Chan Sect and the Western Sect possibly compete with it? Even if the two sects joined forces, they would be overwhelmed by the Jie Sect.

"No, Fang Yang probably just got lucky and happened to take in these fourteen immortals who have the potential to become Great Luo Golden Immortals. He can cultivate whoever he wants to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal; even a sage doesn't have that ability."

Guang Chengzi shook his head repeatedly, trying to shake off those unrealistic and terrifying thoughts from his mind.

He thought of his master, Yuanshi Tianzun, the towering figure in the prehistoric world of education, who had nurtured him, the future hope of the immortal realm. However, Yuanshi Tianzun was helpless against Huanglong Zhenren.

No one would think that Fang Yang's attainments in the art of education could surpass those of a sage.

Maitreya Daojun was not as optimistic as Guangchengzi, because his junior brother, Ksitigarbha Daojun, had become unorthodox after listening to Fang Yang's "ghost talk." Ksitigarbha Daojun put down the scriptures compiled by the Western Sages, picked up magical weapons, and embarked on a path of universal salvation that was completely different from that of the other disciples of the Western Sect.

Maitreya Daojun tried many times to persuade Ksitigarbha Daojun to return to the "right path," but he was always unable to succeed.

In Maitreya Daojun's eyes, Fang Yang was better at saving sentient beings than their Western Sect. Their Western Sect could only save ordinary demons and evil spirits, but Fang Yang had even saved Ksitigarbha Daojun.

If Fang Yang's direct descendants were to possess his ability to bewitch people, their Western Sect would likely become a branch of the Intercepting Sect residing on Mount Sumeru.

With this thought in mind, Maitreya Daoist turned his gaze towards Duobao Daoist. There sat Duobao Daoist, looking calm and composed, seemingly not taking Fang Yang seriously at all.

Seeing this, Maitreya Daojun felt somewhat relieved.

There are still people in the Jie Sect who can rival Fang Yang. With Duobao Daoren's cultivation and power, he is definitely capable of standing on equal footing with Fang Yang.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Fang Yang slowly walked to the center of the main hall. Above him, the Tongtian Sect Leader smiled as he watched his prized disciple ascend the throne of Vice Sect Leader.

No matter how quickly Fang Yang rose to prominence, it was all thanks to his personal guidance. The effort he put into Fang Yang was no less than that he put into his other disciples.

The immortals from other factions, their expressions solemn, gazed at Fang Yang and his group with feelings of reverence, envy, and blessings. After today, Fang Yang would no longer be an ordinary disciple, but the Vice Leader of the Jie Sect, a position comparable to a giant of heaven and earth.

Even figures like Zhenyuan Daxian and Styx Ancestor could no longer act like superior seniors when they met Fang Yang. The position of Vice Leader of the Jie Sect was far too prestigious.

Fang Yang himself was equally excited.

He rose from a humble mortal to the position of vice leader of the Jie Sect, how could he not be excited?

He no longer needs to be cautious around a Great Immortal, nor does he need to be hypocritical with people; he can be whoever he wants.

"Disciple greets Master!"

Fang Yang bowed deeply, his body radiating a primordial Daoist aura, displaying the imposing presence of a great immortal.

The Tongtian Sect Leader slightly raised his hand, and a gentle magical power descended, lifting Fang Yang up: "Fang Yang, my disciple, from this day forward, you will be the Vice Sect Leader of this sect, acting on behalf of your master to carry out the duties of teaching and guiding, in charge of punishments within the sect, and commanding all the immortals of this sect."

A sage's personal decree requires no tokens or symbols of status. The sage's words are golden rules, unalterable regulations.

Upon seeing this, Daoist Duobao closed his eyes in anguish.

The thing he least wanted to see still happened. He had always pursued the position of vice leader of the Jie Sect, and he never dreamed that Fang Yang would snatch it away.

He didn't make a scene, nor did he immediately challenge Fang Yang. To challenge him now would be tantamount to slapping the face of the Tongtian Sect Leader; even if Duobao Daoist had the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard, he wouldn't dare to do such a thing.

For him, as long as he defeats Fang Yang, Fang Yang's status as vice sect leader will be meaningless. The cultivation world values strength above all else; as long as he has the strength, the status of vice sect leader is nothing more than a gimmick.

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit looked at Fang Yang, recalling her first meeting with him.

Back then, Fang Yang was practically a complete novice in the cultivation world, his cultivation level incredibly weak, and he even needed her protection when fishing for treasures. At some point, Fang Yang caught up with her and inexplicably surpassed her.

She was convinced that Fang Yang was the deputy leader. She admired his decisiveness and his methods.

Fairy Yunxiao kept giving Zhao Gongming meaningful glances, her eyes filled with warning. Her brother and two sisters were all impulsive and reckless; if Fang Yang hadn't repeatedly reminded him, Zhao Gongming would have already gone to Penglai Island.

Fairy Yunxiao knew what was good for her and was willing to support Fang Yang in becoming the vice leader.

Finally, there are the neutral factions within the Jie Sect. They do not belong to any faction, are indifferent to fame and fortune, believe only in themselves, and are uninterested in the factional struggles within the sect. They don't care who becomes the vice leader.

Neither Daoist Duobao nor Fang Yang would give them innate spiritual treasures, so they couldn't care less who the vice sect leader was.

After Fang Yang sat on the throne of the vice leader, the Tongtian Sect Leader gave an order: "Disciples of the Jie Sect, quickly pay homage to the vice leader."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Golden Spirit Mother stepped forward first, bowed deeply, and her voice resounded throughout the hall: "Disciple Golden Spirit Mother greets the Vice Master!"

As the eldest disciple of all the immortals, the Golden Spirit Mother did not bow, and no one else dared to overstep her bounds. Led by the Golden Spirit Mother, the other disciples of the Intercepting Sect stepped forward one after another, their voices in unison: "Greetings, Vice Sect Leader!"

Duobao Daoist and his group moved a little slower, but they still stood in the group and bowed to the head of the main hall as disciples.

However, Daoist Duobao did not address him as Vice Master. He worshipped Tongtian Master, not Fang Yang.

He stepped forward because he didn't want to disrupt the ceremony.

His challenge to Fang Yang was a duel between cultivators, and no one would find anything wrong with his actions. However, if he were to disrupt the ceremony, that would be unreasonable.

As the senior disciple of the Jie Sect, Daoist Duobao had a responsibility to uphold the sect's reputation. If he disregarded the sect's honor, his position as senior disciple would be meaningless.

"Fellow disciples, please rise!"

Fang Yang pretended not to see Duobao Daoist's actions. He looked around at the immortals, raised his hand slightly, and lifted all the immortals up.

Thus, Fang Yang's position as the Vice Leader of the Jie Sect was truly well-deserved!
