Chapter 733: The Promotion Of Elders
Lin Wu was wondering what the meeting between the Patriarch Bing, Guardian Yun and Elder Weizhe would be about.
He did have some guesses about it, but he was not fully certain. If it was something to do with the entire sect, Lin Wu reckoned they would have invited the other elders, too. But since only Elder Weizhe was there, it was bound to be something else.
‘Though considering the elders’ situation right now… and me killing half of them, Elder Weizhe is the one with the highest cultivation base.’ Lin Wu thought.
“Oh? What’s the outcome, then?” Lin Wu questioned, having made some guesses in his mind.
“Considering the demise of several elders and the lack of power, Elder Weizhe will be immediately promoted to the position of the Supreme elder. Along with this, several junior elders will be promoted to Senior elders as well.
The core disciples that are at the Nascent soul realm will be given temporary status as junior elders as well. Though if they want, they can become full fledged elders too, but their responsibilities will be equally increased.” Wang Xiong answered.
“So it really is like that, huh…” Lin Wu muttered to himself.
His guess had turned out to be accurate, but it also meant that one of the plans he had prepared could now be initiated.
“What do you want us to do now, Senior?” Wang Xiong asked.
“Alright… Listen to me carefully, then.” Lin Wu said before explaining his plan.
After hearing it all, Wang Xiong’s eyes lit up, and he felt excited.
“This… If it really works, then… it will be the perfect outcome!” Wang Xiong exclaimed.
“Indeed. But it all depends on how well Guardian Yun and you can handle Patriarch Bing. And I don’t think the other elders will take this with no doubts either. Even if they are in the Frozen brook division, such a sudden addition will leave them struck too.” Lin Wu spoke.
“Don’t worry, senior. I’ll make sure Patriarch Bing understands. Besides, I did keep something ready for a situation like this before. While I didn’t think it would be exactly this, I still have something close to it.” Wang Xiong replied.
“Alright, do as you see fit and keep me informed.” Lin Wu stated.
“I will, Senior.” Wang Xiong replied before bidding him goodbye.
‘Hmm… even if this part is done… we still don’t know another important thing. Why was patriarch Bing away from the sect for this long? What was the agenda of the important meeting for which he was called?’ Lin Wu wondered.
Ideally, the patriarch or the head of a sect should not leave his sect easily. At least not in an unstable situation the likes of which the Frozen Cloud sect was in. Lin Wu was not so dumb as to think that Patriarch Bing didn’t know this either.
“Which means… whatever he was called for, was many times important than the stability of his own sect.” Lin Wu analyzed.
‘Whatever the Long Clan called the meeting for must be severe enough for Patriarch Bing to ignore his basic duties.’ Lin Wu thought as his expression darkened.
He knew that if the Long clan had now acted, he couldn’t ignore it either. If he wanted to grow his power in this world, he needed to be aware of the news and events of the entire long continent, if not the entire Ming Dao world.
Right now Lin Wu was isolated from the other two continents, and thus wouldn’t need to worry about them, but there was still the eventual need to get them under him too.
Additionally, there was one other thing that had been bugging Lin Wu.
~Ding~
——
QUEST: Hunt and consume the original bloodline beast.
REWARDS: Bloodline Progression, Skill progression, Cultivation Progression.
DURATION: Unlimited.
STATUS: Incomplete
——
Lin Wu hadn’t forgotten that he still had a big quest that had not been completed yet. This was one of his original goals in the past, but he had long since realized finding the beast would not be possible alone.
With the vast expanse that was the Ming Dao World, it would be the same as searching a… Single beast in the entire world.
‘I definitely need to complete this quest. Both by bloodlines were from this beast and are the basis of my power. And this is when what I have is merely a fraction of what this beast has. If I finish the quest, just how strong will I even grow?’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
This quest was a long term goal of Lin Wu and the making of his own organization, the Emeraldine Legion, was the means to an end. Though it wasn’t as if he was gonna depend on the Legion for all things, there was also the way to search it on his own.
“If my cultivation base is strong enough, I should still be able to sense the beast. And if I can’t, the system will surely be able to detect it. The more my cultivation base increases, the better the range of the system will get.
Considering the beast’s aspects, I know that it can dig and hide underground. Finding it will not be easy, but I have to do it!” Lin Wu said to himself.
Lin Wu also realized something after seeing the quest again.
“Now that I think of it… System you haven’t given me any quests after that… not even minor ones. Why is that?” Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The system only assigns quests when it deems it absolutely necessary. The quests are only created when they will greatly impact the host. This assessment mechanism changes depending on the host’s current capabilities and powers.
Since the host was far weaker in the past, the system had to prioritize the host’s survival and make quests that were appropriate for that.
——
“Huh… so you are considerate like that.” Lin Wu said. “But then… Aren’t the quests pretty much just suggestions? The rewards you’ve given so far are just the normal outcome of the quests.” He added.
