Chapter 369: Determined to participate
Tang Yin frowned as he saw the Patriarch Mechanism fully appear.
He hadn't seen it before, but it was a good mechanism for choosing a patriarch.
As soon as he saw it, he noticed several interesting mechanisms in that great structure that seemed to come from another world.
These stairs receive extremely strong pressure from ancient powerful elders and can be said to be a 'Sect Inheritance'.
All the most powerful elders thousands of years ago left their divine intentions on this structure for posterity, perhaps by request of the ancient God of Lightning, who was Shi Yue's father.
'Everyone who steps on these stairs will receive a pressure above their heads that will force them to kneel at all costs, the higher you climb, the more difficult it will become, huh.' Tang Yin thought.
He could not deny the fact that he was interested in this strange structure. Plus he wanted to find out what the core was.
'It should be an object of a very high grade, perhaps divine grade?' Tang Yin thought.
It was also at that moment that he realized what kind of powers existed at that time thousands of years ago.
'More powerful than the Tenth Level of the Supreme Realm and even above the Realm above it... That is the terrain of the Cultivation Realms of my world...' Tang Yin thought with a frown as he thought about this.
Just as Tang Yin was thinking about these things, an uproar formed among the leading elders of both sides.
"What the hell are you guys thinking!?"
"How dare you guys invoke the Patriarch Mechanism at this time!?"
"Shit, you're audacious!"
They shouted many of them back and forth while the leading elders behind Elder Ding answered them just as loudly.
Even so, they soon fell silent when they saw Elder Ding raise his hand for them to be silent.
"We must look after the welfare of our region. I remind you that the west and northwest are very close, demons can rise again in this region, therefore, we cannot have a patriarch who is not worthy of the position of one of our 3 sects." Elder Ding said and stared at Mu Taishi.
"Sect Master, no... Mu Taishi, although you are not weak, you are not worthy to be in that position. We don't need a passive patriarch; we need the aggressiveness that a Spiritual Supreme has to offer. We can no longer hide behind Miss Mu's status, don't you think? While I understand your concerns, I think it's time for you to give up your position and move on to the next one.
Someone who does deserve to be in that position. The demons won't wait for you." He said firmly.
He wasn't being disrespectful to Mu Taishi or at least he wasn't being disrespectful in Elder Ding's books.
To him, Mu Taishi should understand that it was as he put it.
Still...
To the protectors that was not what they heard.
"Shit, you dare to insult the Sect Master, you've got guts, Ding!" shouted one of them as he launched a powerful spiritual energy attack towards Elder Ding, but was easily countered by several attacks coming from the foreigners who were present.
"Protector, it's not a good idea to attack who, before long could be your master." Said one of them mockingly, and the protector glared at him angrily.
But before he could speak, the sect master launched an attack again against those guys.
This attack took them by surprise, and it was a destructive attack, which created an explosion and pushed several of them back.
"Hmph, you think you can come and do whatever you want in my sect? You're arrogant!" shouted Mu Taishi angrily.

It was the first time they had seen him like this, so they were all surprised to see that the always passive now attacked with force and was not weak at all.
'This guy... He's been hiding his power very well.' Elder Ding thought but still smiled for a moment and then returned to his calm face.
Mu Taishi looked at him angrily and let out a snort.
"Hmph, well, it looks like Elder Ding is having trouble against me and is aiming for the position of patriarch. I can't go against the rules and decisions of the elder hall, so I'm willing to compete with you this time." He said, surprising Elder Ding.
'He accepted so easily?' He thought with surprise, but a smile formed on his lips.
'Well, this is aiming much better than I thought.' He thought.
"Sect Master!" one of the protectors shouted, but Mu Taishi raised his hand and shook his head at him.
"It's okay, I know what you're worried about. You have nothing to worry about, I'll give my best effort." He replied nonchalantly, and then looked at Tang Yin.
"I am no longer the Sect Master. The Token representing me will be held by this young man until a new Sect Master is chosen." Mu Taishi said firmly as he tossed a token to Tang Yin, then looked at the protectors and nodded to them.
"You protect the token; therefore, you do not need to stay near me. It no longer belongs to me." He said and turned around without giving them a second glance. He simply started walking to the great stairs that were there.
Not only were the protectors shocked, but all the foreign Spiritual Supremes and Elder Ding himself were stunned by the quick decision Mu Taishi had made to get rid of his token.
He didn't care who it was given to, no one could steal the Patriarch's Token. But did he care so little about his status? Would he bestow it so easily, without replying?
'Doesn't this guy understand the position he's in? The Patriarch's Mechanism will put more pressure on him, being the second time, he transits over it! He can't beat me in that situation!' Elder Ding thought, but although he was confused, what he had longed for many years was finally happening.
In the distance, the Sect Kings were stunned watching this.
How on earth had this little match turned into a quest for a new sect master?
What on earth were the leaders thinking?
For two of them, though, this was fun. For Ding Chun, it was the best thing that could happen, and it was something he already knew would happen.
And his father would soon be the new sect master!
His status was about to become that of the Senior Young Sect Master!
Of the entire region!
While for Jia Yijie... This was simply a very fun spectacle to watch, so the smile on her face could not be wiped off as she watched.
