Chapter 365 Confer the Great Elders, Stewards, and Protectors
Side quest reward: Peach of Immortality Tree!
Peach of Immortality Tree (Immortal Grade): bears fruit once a year to extend lifespan by a thousand years; once every ten years to extend lifespan by ten thousand years; once every hundred years to raise one tier below True Immortal; once every thousand years to immediately become a True Immortal!
Let the whole sect ascend!!!
Su Bai was slightly silent—wanting to become an 8‑Star Sect was indeed a bit difficult!
The Heavenly Dao Sect was already very powerful, but that was only relative to the Lower Realm.
In the Upper Realms—not to mention the superpowers—just the Gao clan alone was probably beyond what the Heavenly Dao Sect could contend with now!
There were many rogue immortals, but they were only at the entry level of immortality in the Immortal Realm.
Earthly immortals—today’s Heavenly Dao Sect had only a few!
Heavenly immortals—apart from him, there was only the Sixth Ancestor!
As for the Gao clan, just to guard an ascension dais they had eighteen earthly immortals and one heavenly immortal!
That Gao Pan, judging by his age, was very likely only a disciple of the Gao clan!
Even if he were a core disciple, that’s still just a disciple!
What about the elders?
The patriarch?
Could one hold an ascension dais and monopolize the ascendants without great strength?
How much profit could a single ascension dais bring the Gao clan?
From previous ascensions and the surrounding talk, Su Bai had a rough idea.
Ascension dais ascendants gathered once every hundred years!
When Su Bai ascended last time, it happened to be at the centennial gathering.
Over five hundred ascendants—an accumulation of a hundred years.
The prices they fetched reached over five hundred lower‑grade immortal crystals plus three intermediate‑grade immortal crystals.
Not to mention the immortal qi contained within, the longevity qi alone amounted to a terrifying fifty thousand-plus years!
This was absolutely an unimaginable resource!
Because even a heavenly immortal’s lifespan was limited to only ten to twenty thousand years!
All those heavenly immortals in the Immortal Realm were desperately in need of immortal crystals!
Could the Gao clan guard an ascension dais and produce such century yields without considerable strength? Impossible.
Therefore, having the entire sect ascend would need to wait!
Wait for the Heavenly Dao Sect to develop!
Wait for those elders to slowly breakthrough!
Wait for his own power to grow stronger!
Only then could they ascend!
………………
On that day, the Heavenly Dao Sect’s more than twenty million disciples and several thousand strong practitioners all gathered together.
Even the Sixth Ancestor, Nameless, and all the ascendants had come!
The Heavenly Palace had been destroyed; the Sixth Ancestor could no longer be called that.
In the past, when the Sixth Ancestor served as Great Elder of the Heaven‑Defying Sect, he bore an honorific.
He was called Wuji Heavenly Venerable!
Wuji Supreme!
Now, he could be called… Wuji Great Emperor!
Today’s commotion was because the Sect Master was going to confer titles on the major elders!
After a moment, Su Bai appeared before everyone, stepping out in a single stride and arriving in an instant.
“All hail the Sect Master!”
Ten million voices roared together, like a thunderclap, echoing in all directions!
“Everyone, the Heavenly Dao Sect has stood for nearly twenty years and has never had a formal conferment.”
“Today our sect will confer titles on the Heavenly Dao Sect’s elders, protectors, and stewards…!”
Su Bai stood in the void, scanned the crowd, and spoke in a clear voice.
“Wuji Great Emperor!”
Su Bai spoke, calling the first name.
“Present!”
With that loud voice, everyone looked up and saw the Wuji Great Emperor slowly step forward and respectfully bow to Su Bai.
“You went undercover for thousands of years, achieving unparalleled merit for the human race and the Heavenly Dao Sect. Today I confer upon you the title of Great Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect!” Su Bai said, smiling at Wuji with obvious admiration.
Wuji Great Emperor was slightly stunned, looked up at Su Bai, and his eyes were a little moist.
Great Elder…
In the past, wasn’t he already the Great Elder of the Heaven‑Defying Sect…
Without the Hidden Old Ancestor, the Great Elder was practically the first under the Sect Master!
He hadn’t expected the Sect Master to give such an important position to him!
This was trust!
This was recognition of his merits!!
“Hail the Great Elder!”
At that moment, everyone in the Heavenly Dao Sect bowed in unison and called respectfully.
Wuji Great Emperor’s eyes reddened further; he bowed solemnly and said, “Thank you for the Sect Master’s grace!”
Sect loyalty: 95
Then, under countless envious gazes, he took his seat in the Great Elder’s place.
“Nameless!”
Immediately after, Su Bai called another name.
Whoosh!
Nameless stepped forward and respectfully said, “Present!”
“You have been in the sect the longest and have won many battles for the Heavenly Dao Sect. I now confer upon you the title of Elder of the Sword, responsible for administering punishments inside and outside the sect!” Su Bai said, taking out the wooden sword in his hand and handing it to Nameless.
That wooden sword was the supreme treasure the Peerless Heavenly Venerable left for the human race before his ascension.
When the Peerless Heavenly Venerable ascended, his cultivation should have reached the peak of the Emperor Realm, that is, the ninth‑grade heavenly immortal level.
Thus this wooden sword was naturally a heavenly immortal’s supreme treasure!
However, Su Bai no longer needed it, so giving it to Nameless was just right!
And the position of Elder of the Sword was also extremely important!
It was almost equivalent to a vice sect master!
“Yes, Sect Master!” Nameless accepted the wooden sword and sat in the Elder of the Sword’s seat.
“Ao Ye!”
Su Bai called again, this time summoning the current lord of the Demon Realm, Dragon Emperor Ao Ye!
“Present!”
Ao Ye stepped out and respectfully looked at Su Bai.
“Ao Ye,” Su Bai said, “as lord of the Demon Realm, I now confer upon you the title of Chief Guardian Divine Beast of the Heavenly Dao Sect, responsible for overseeing the Demon Realm!”
“Yes, Sect Master!” Ao Ye answered again, accepting reverently.
His greatest wish had been to defeat Fengtian and seize supremacy over the Demon Realm.
Now that his wish was fulfilled, he accepted whatever arrangements the Heavenly Dao Sect made.
After that, Su Bai proceeded to confer titles one by one.
The three ascendants in the supreme realm were made Second Elder, Third Elder, and Fourth Elder respectively.
The Ancestor of the Pill Sect was appointed head elder of the Pill Hall; Dan Xuanzi and Dan Yangzi of the Pill Sect were made Pill Hall elders.
Gu Xuan, Thunderclap, and others were appointed diplomatic elders to manage relations with the Great Powers across All Under Heaven.
Every Heavenly Venerable received the title of elder!
Currently the Heavenly Dao Sect had roughly six hundred Heavenly Venerables in total!
Therefore, six hundred elders were appointed!
Of course, to motivate the elders to cultivate diligently, Su Bai set a distinction!
The top one hundred in strength were named guardian elders!
Those ranked after the hundred were ordinary elders!
All the Grand Venerable‑level strongmen were assigned by Su Bai as stewards of the Heavenly Dao Sect, handling the sect’s various affairs and people’s livelihood requests… about two thousand people!
All the strongmen at the venerable realm were appointed as the Heavenly Dao Sect’s protectors, guarding security across the lands, numbering just under ten thousand!
With this, the Heavenly Dao Sect could truly be considered complete!
Elders, stewards, protectors!
(Author checked: in some books protectors rank higher than stewards, in others stewards rank higher; hard to decide, so here stewards are set above protectors)
The remaining people would march toward those goals, cultivating diligently and striving to reach the thresholds soon so they could become elders, stewards, or protectors of the Heavenly Dao Sect!
