Chapter 626: Sect Master Succession

mprisoned, or sealed here!The Dao Demon, that's the true supreme powerhouse among demons.Even such a powerful being could be sealed by others, then who was the one who sealed herHowever, Ginger Cloud...Thirty-five figures, they are the thirty-five sect masters since the birth of this Shanhai Question Dao Sect!

Originally, Ginger Cloud thought that the so-called Sect Master's戒 was just a symbol of status.

But it wasn't until he scanned with his divine sense that day that he realized, the Sect Master's Amulet was also a type of inheritance.

Because it contains not only all the secrets of the Wen Dao Sect, but also the most proud single technique left by each former sect master.

Every Grandmaster, after becoming the Grandmaster and before stepping down, must drop a single drop of their own natal blood into the Grandmaster's ring. This blood will transform into an image, recording their most proud magical technique, passed down to the subsequent successor.

As for this, there is no mention in the Wudang's sect rules, nor any compulsory requirements. It is simply a voluntary act of each successive sect leader.

Because each Patriarch has a common wish.

It is my hope that the Shanhai Asking Dao Sect, one day, will be able to return to its main sect and allow all of its disciples to see a wider world.

But the premise for accomplishing all of this is that, as the sect leader, one must first possess sufficient strength.

Although Jiang Yun's cultivation level and realm aren't the strongest among all previous sect masters, he definitely possesses the most complex and intricate power among them all.

He possesses the power of all five elements, as well as the primordial power that predates heaven and earth. He even has Dao patterns stolen from the Dao Calamity.

Even so, when he saw the thirty-five sect masters performing their techniques one after another, his heart was still filled with immense shock.

Although the thirty-five Sect Masters left behind were only techniques, and no Taoist arts, each one was extremely refined.

Take Tian You as an example, his left-behind single technique is called Ding Cang Hai!

The ocean flows endlessly, never ceasing. Yet, this mystical technique favored by Heaven can hold the very sea still.

In essence, it's about controlling various forces to temporarily immobilize everything!

When Jiang Yun opened up his tenth meridian, causing the celestial being Tian Yan to appear and unleash black thunder, Dao Tianyou had once used this technique. He even combined it with Dao Wen to suppress the black thunder for a whole minute!

Apart from Dao Tianyou, the techniques left by other past sect masters are also comprehensive and each has its own merits.

Among them, there are sword techniques, knife techniques, finger techniques, and five elements magical arts, etc.

It is not difficult to see that none of those who became the sect masters of Wendaosong were weaklings.

If time were not so pressing, Jiang Yun would want to learn all thirty-five of these techniques at once.

After having finished reading the thirty-five techniques, what was displayed before Jiang Yun's eyes next was the sect's every secret.

The Shanhai Realm Questioning Dao Sect was founded many years ago by a disciple named Dao Yuan, who came from the same sect as himself, as part of his mission.

Though Dao Yuanzhi hails from the main sect, his life story and whereabouts remain shrouded in mystery!

Of the thirty-four succeeding sect leaders, including Dao Tianyou, five were also from the main sect.

And the mission of these three was not like Dao Tianyou's, to elevate the status of Shan Hai Wen Dao Fen Zong, but to investigate the whereabouts of Dao Yuan!

That is to say, after Dao Yuan established the Shan Hai Wen Dao Zong and passed on the position of sect master to his disciple, he did not remain in the Shan Hai Realm or return to the Wen Dao Heaven. He simply vanished, and no one knows where he went.

Apart from his mysterious whereabouts, when he first arrived in the Shan Hai Realm, the sect master only gave him five treasures and the cultivation method of "Human Way."

But not only did he leave these things behind, he also created the Questioning Dao Palm. Especially, he left behind an ordinary-grade Dao artifact - the Hiding Dao Sword!

You need to know that, although Dao Tianyou and they are all core disciples of the main sect, their status is not low, but they have not yet qualified to possess Dao artifacts.

The origin of the Daoist sword, naturally, also became a mystery.

What baffled them most was, since they already possessed the Dao Artifact, why would Dao Yuan still leave it in the Shan Hai Realm!

But no matter what, it is precisely because of these two things left behind by the distant Dao, that the Five Treasures such as the Zhantian Sword are not qualified to be considered the foundation of the sect.

The techniques of the Zang Dao Sword, Wen Dao's Palm, and *The Human Way* have become the three true foundations of the Wen Dao Sect today.

Moreover, it is unknown what means Dao Yuan used to make the disciples from the main sect only able to use their foundational strength three times, and they couldn't take the Zang Dao Sword out of the Shan Hai Realm.

However, his approach seems a bit excessive.

Because, including Dao Tianyou, the five main sect disciples, except for Dao Tianyou who used the hidden sword, the other four didn't use any.

Even, they should not have reported the news of the Caitao Sword to the main sect.

Otherwise, given the power of the main sect, it would have absolutely not allowed a Dao artifact to exist within a small branch sect. They would have long sent people to take the Cang Dao Sword.

Having learned the secrets of the Quan Daozong, especially knowing about Daoyuan's deeds, Jiang Yun couldn't help but feel a tinge of melancholy.

Before this, he had never imagined that the history of the Asking Dao Sect would be so long and profound.

Those who came before us planted the trees, and those who come after us enjoy the shade.

Although this sect leader was appointed in a time of crisis, he also received everything left behind by the previous thirty-five sect leaders for nothing.

Of course, acceptance also means responsibility.

Since he had promised Dao Tianyou and became the thirty-sixth sect master, he must bear the burden of the Wenda Sect.

"The effect of the Sect Master's Amulet is only for me personally. For the entire Wudao Sect, especially in the current situation, it doesn't provide much help."

Although the Wudao Sect defeated the Senro Ghost Prison and gained reinforcements like Lao Hei, Jiang Yun knew very well that the current Wudao Sect was still very weak and in disarray.

Although the battle against Senro Gikyoku was won, it was a very lucky and difficult victory.

Had it not been for the self-sacrificing disciples, and Dao Tianyou's final sword strike, the current outcome would likely have been reversed. It would be the Wudao Sect that disappeared instead.

It's not that the disciples of the Underworld Hellfire are particularly powerful, but rather that their background is too eerie.

Whether it's a soul-calling bell that can affect the soul, or a soul-locking incense that can bind the soul, Ginger Cloud wouldn't have known about these strange secrets if he hadn't seen them with his own eyes.

This also made Jiang Yun realize that not to mention the Five Great Sects, even some smaller sects and families, like the Luo family from before, actually had their own deep foundations.

These underlying foundations, each and every one, should not be underestimated.

Therefore, to avoid the great tribulation of Shanhai and reach the Dahuang realm, relying solely on individual strength is far from enough. It is necessary to enhance the strength of all disciples of the Wenda Sect.

After much deliberation, Jiang Yun finally came up with a solution — formations, and pills!

Arrange all the disciples in a chain formation, with nine as the base number!

At the same time, a large number of pills that enhance cultivation were refined to be taken by the disciples.

For example, even if a single additional Heavenly Immortal could be produced through the use of a Heaven-Earth Elixir, it would significantly enhance the overall strength of the entire sect.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun's divine sense immediately spread out, covering the entire Wenda Sect.

All disciples who know formations, assemble at the plaza immediately! Also, gather all of the Wudao Sect's medicinal herbs and spirit stones together!

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yun stood up and looked down at the entire Wudao Sect. He said word by word: "Fellow seniors, I will do my best to show everyone a brand new Wudao Sect!"

First published on the Traditional Chinese Novel Networkse, it's still comparable to that of a Daoist venerable's avatar. Therefore, relying on the strength of nine clans, Jiang Yun could naturally kill him.Of course, now everyone in this Lei Ji Tian can b...
