Chapter 236: Chapter 152: The Entire Sect in an Uproar

Master Beardless introduced him, "This is Young Master Qin Fan. If the two of you Elders see him in the future, you must not hinder him in any way. Allow him to come and go as he pleases."

Hearing this, the two Divine Kings were startled. They subconsciously sized up the young man who was currently bowing in greeting, their eyes filled with questions.

Little did they know, the arrival of this young man would completely change the entire landscape of the Beardless Sect in the future.

Even Master Beardless himself did not know that this young man would become the key to changing his own life.

Upon entering Beardless Island, Jiang Hao experienced the supreme glory of this sect’s past even more deeply. Everything in the Beardless Sect rivaled Cyan Mist. What he saw and heard along the way made it feel as though he had stepped into another top-tier Holy Land.

Moreover, even the layout of the Beardless Sect was similar to that of the Cyan Mist Sect. Immortal Palaces stood in great numbers, structured in a nine-tier progression. The Beardless Saint Hall was equally magnificent, radiating a heaven-shaking holy might.

After entering the sect, Master Beardless was not in a hurry to announce any information to everyone. In fact, the entire sect remained as calm as still water.

Jiang Hao was arranged to stay in an Immortal Palace on the eighth-tier mountains of Unnecessary Peak. He didn’t even get to meet the Beardless Sect’s other two Saint Realm Powerhouses.

Three days later, early in the morning.

DONG!

DONG!!

DONG!!!

...

Nine chimes echoed throughout the sect, shattering the original tranquility of this Holy Sect.

The moment the bell chimed, countless Cultivators of the Beardless Sect opened their eyes and looked toward the Beardless Saint Hall.

Countless disciples and Elders paled in shock as they all converged toward the Beardless Saint Hall.

Not long after, outside the Beardless Saint Hall.

The cascading nine-tiered dojo was densely packed with disciples and Elders of the Beardless Sect.

"What’s going on? The nine bells haven’t been rung in so many years. Why did they suddenly chime today?"

"I have no idea. Could something major have happened in the sect?"

"The nine bells are a signal for monumental sect events. Regardless of the reason, something extremely important must have occurred, otherwise they wouldn’t have been struck."

"Do you think it could be related to the Thousand Sects Secret Realm?"

"Alright, stop babbling. Won’t we find out soon enough?"

In less than fifteen minutes, hundreds of thousands of Beardless Sect Cultivators had gathered. Even on the Beardless Holy Platform, over a hundred imposing figures had appeared.

These figures were equally bewildered, completely oblivious as to why the Holy Bell had been rung.

However, the moment three figures emerged on the high platform in front of the Holy Hall, the entire Beardless Sect instantly fell into a pin-drop silence.

"Greetings, Sect Leader! Greetings, Supreme Elders!"

The moment Master Beardless appeared alongside the Beardless Sect’s two sole surviving Supreme Elders, hundreds of thousands of Cultivators bowed deeply. The unified greeting of the masses, accompanied by countless Elders, shook the heavens.

Looking down at the dense crowd of Beardless Sect disciples and Elders filling the cascading nine-tiered dojo, Master Beardless raised his hand slightly, plunging the entire area back into absolute silence.

At this moment, all the Cultivators of the Beardless Sect looked toward their Sect Leader.

Even on the dojo just beneath the Holy Platform—the one closest to the Beardless Saint Hall—the hundred-plus imposing figures and ten young men and women exuding terrifying auras all cast their gazes upward. They had no idea why the entire sect had suddenly been convened.

These ten youths who were qualified to stand on the Holy Platform were none other than the ten most terrifying geniuses of the Beardless Sect’s younger generation.

"Everyone."

Standing before the Holy Hall, Master Beardless swept his gaze across the hundreds of thousands of Cultivators. His voice transmitted throughout the entire Beardless Sect, echoing for a long time.

"Everyone, I have gathered you all here today to announce a certain matter.

"Starting today, our Beardless Sect will establish the position of Eldest Senior Brother."

RUMBLE!!!

BOOM!!!

The moment these words were spoken, the entire Beardless Sect erupted in a frenzy.

"What?"

"Establish the position of Eldest Senior Brother?"

"Our Beardless Sect... is appointing an Eldest Senior Brother?"

"What is going on? How come we didn’t hear a single rumor about this?"

"It’s been so many years since the Beardless Sect last had an Eldest Senior Brother. Why is the Sect Leader suddenly announcing this today?"

"Forget about just our Beardless Sect. Even if you look at the entire Thousand Sects Island, countless sects haven’t appointed an Eldest Senior Brother for many years either."

"Heavens! A sect’s Eldest Senior Brother is a terrifying existence whose status is on par with a Supreme Elder, second only to the Sect Leader!"

"In the Celestial Martial Continent, the title of Eldest Senior Brother within a sect isn’t merely an empty position. It represents a figure with true authority to control the entire sect. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call them a Vice Sect Leader!"

"The sect is actually appointing an Eldest Senior Brother? Who will it be? The Beardless Twins? Or one of the ten world-shocking geniuses?"

With the news that the Beardless Sect was establishing the position of Eldest Senior Brother, the entire sect boiled over.

Up on the Holy Platform, the eyes of the ten great geniuses were filled with absolute shock. They looked at each other, and upon seeing the bewilderment on their peers’ faces, they instantly grew tense.

As the absolute ceiling of the Beardless Sect’s younger generation, the first thought that popped into the minds of these ten individuals was that it had to be one of them.

A sect’s Eldest Senior Brother possessed the authority to mobilize the entire sect, including the Elder Council just beneath the Supreme Elders.

Moreover, a sect’s Eldest Senior Brother enjoyed the right to utilize all of the sect’s resources. They were truly below one person and above ten thousand others.

How could this not be tempting?

For a time, the Cultivators of the Beardless Sect erupted in a fiery frenzy, their faces pale with astonishment.

The ten ceiling-level geniuses on the Holy Platform were even more thrilled.

The Beardless Sect was appointing an Eldest Senior Brother.

So who would this Eldest Senior Brother be?

Would it be themselves?

Or one of the other nine standing right beside them?
