Under One Person: The Great Celestial Venerable of All Worlds

Chapter 68 Celestial Master's Ordination, Path to Heaven

Once the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony concludes, Fu Xuan will recruit and plunder the entire martial arts world, settling scores and seeking revenge as well.

At the same time, he also wanted to cultivate the young people under his command, to broaden their horizons, as they would be the backbone of the future and needed to mature as soon as possible.

After arranging everything, Fu Xuan arrived at Zhang Chulan's door, pushed it open, and entered: "Chulan, congratulations, you've gotten what you wanted."

"Boss!"

Zhang Chulan quickly stood up, scratching his head: "This is all thanks to you! If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have made it to the end!"

"Alright, enough with the flattery. Have you thought things through regarding the future?"

"It's time for you to decide whether to stay with the World Society and work under me, or to return to Longhu Mountain."

"this……"

Zhang Chulan was silent for a moment: "Well, boss, as you know, I participated in this competition for two reasons: first, to assess you, and second, to find out about my grandfather. I need to see my advisor and ask him first."

"As for whether or not to return to Longhu Mountain..."

For him, news of his grandfather was the most important thing, followed by freedom. If joining the Celestial Master's Mansion would really mean losing his freedom, then he would never choose it.

"I need to think about it some more."

"OK."

This was just a routine inquiry, and the outcome was already predetermined, so Fu Xuan didn't care: "Then let's wait until you ask first, there's no rush."

"Also, regarding tomorrow's 'Tongtianlu' reward, I suggest you give it up. After all, no one knows that the 'Qi Body Source Flow' is with you yet, so there's no need to take on this hot potato."

He didn't tell Zhang Chulan about the Tongtian Talisman and Zheng Zibu, since Zhang Chulan hadn't officially joined yet, and some things had to be kept secret.

As for the "Heavenly Register," since he already has it, he might as well give it to the Celestial Master's Mansion and let it attract the attention of the martial arts world, which will make subsequent actions smoother.

"Yes, that's what I think too."

Zhang Chulan nodded. With the "Qi Body Source Flow" in hand, he had no intention of getting the "Heavenly Talisman". Not to mention the problem of it being too hot to handle, if he pursued the means blindly, he would be biting off more than he could chew and it would affect his cultivation.

Seeing that everything was under control, Fu Xuan said no more, gave a few simple instructions, and then turned and left.

So far.

His arrangements are all in place.

We are just waiting for the right opportunity.

……

……

in this way.

The day passed quickly.

The closing ceremony of the Luo Tian Grand Ritual was held as scheduled at 10 a.m. the next day, but the scene was very quiet compared to the previous days.

Looking at the empty stands, the remaining Xu brothers and members of the Lu family troupe couldn't help but sigh, "So many people have left all of a sudden..."

Then he looked towards the field.

The final part of the ceremony began.

The Celestial Master, Lu Jin, and Feng Zhenghao stood still, gesturing for Zhang Chulan to step forward.

According to the original plan, Wang Ai and Lü Ci should also be present, but due to the Wang family's affairs, Wang Ai was unable to attend, and Lü Ci went to help instead.

This is actually a good thing. Zhang Chulan disliked the two of them anyway, so this saves them some trouble.

He then stepped forward.

He bowed to several people.

"Hello everyone!"

Lu Jin nodded slightly and beckoned to him, "Zhang Chulan, come here..."

The Taoist priest immediately brought over a tray with a book on it, which was the classic text "Tongtian Lu".

"As agreed upon before the conference, this copy of the 'Heavenly Record' now belongs to you!"

"..."

Looking at the item, Zhang Chulan showed no desire and directly refused, saying, "Thank you, Senior Lu, but I don't intend to take it!"

"don't want?"

Upon hearing this, the remaining onlookers were all taken aback, and Lu Jin also widened his eyes.

"Do you know... what this is?"

Zhang Chulan smiled slightly: "Senior Lu, I've already suffered a lot because of a Qi Body Source Flow technique I've never seen before. This Tongtian Talisman is on par with the Qi Body Source Flow technique. It's a treasure in other people's eyes, but to me it's just trouble. You can give it to whomever you want, I don't want it..."

"For me, being able to return to Longhu Mountain is already the greatest reward!"

Lu Jin raised an eyebrow: "Hey! What's going on with this kid? So I just took the Heavenly Scroll out for nothing... Fine! I guess I'll have to take it back!"

Zhang Zhiwei then spoke up: "Hey! Old Lu, since you've already taken it out, why take it back? It's going to be passed on to these young people anyway... Since Zhang Chulan, who came in first place, doesn't want it, then let's pass it on to the second place!"

He looked at Feng Zhenghao beside him, who immediately stated, "I have no objection."

Seeing this, Lu Jin couldn't help but smile, thinking, "Fine! The old Celestial Master is cunning! Anyway, whether it's your disciple or your grand-disciple, I can't keep this Heavenly Talisman!"

"Alright then! Whatever you say goes!"

He nodded in agreement.

And so very soon...

"Zhang Lingyu enters!"

As the Taoist priest called out, Zhang Lingyu stepped onto the stage and stood before Lu Jin: "Shall I inherit the Tongtian Talisman?"

"Senior Lu, I am a defeated person, uh..." He suddenly glanced at Lu Jin's master behind him and remembered the promise he made yesterday.

"What? You don't want it either? So my Heavenly Scroll has become a worthless piece of junk that nobody wants?" Lu Jin said unhappily.

"Oh well……"

Zhang Lingyu gritted her teeth, reached out and took the tray, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you very much, senior! This junior is unworthy of your thanks!"

In this way.

The Luo Tian Grand Ceremony then came to a complete end.

The remaining task is the succession of the Celestial Master position.

Zhang Zhiwei called out to Zhang Chulan, telling him to come to the library at eight o'clock that evening, and then left.

Seeing that the excitement had completely subsided, the scattered audience members in the stands also dispersed, and the company, the Lu family, and the Feng family prepared to deal with Quanxing.

Everything was done in secret.

The atmosphere gradually became heavy and tense.

……

……

8 PM.

Zhang Chulan arrived at the library on time.

Not far away, Zhang Zhiwei, Tian Jinzhong, and three disciples slowly approached.

"Sigh... finally they're all gone..."

"Yes, this back hill has been so lively for so long, it's time for some peace and quiet..."

Upon seeing the two advisors arrive, Zhang Chulan tensed up: "Advisors... advisors..."

Tian Jinzhong smiled reassuringly, "Chu Lan, don't be too nervous. Becoming the successor of the Celestial Master doesn't mean you have to immediately inherit the position. Your grandmaster is still very much alive and kicking, and it's not your turn to take over yet!"

Seeing him rambling incoherently, Zhang Zhiwei immediately ordered, "Xiao Yuzi, Lao Tian is tired. Quickly take him away to rest!"

"Ah! Yes!"

The two men quickly pushed the wheelchair away.

"Rongshan! You stay and guard your martial uncle tonight!"

"Yes, Master!"

As a disciple personally taught by the Celestial Master, Rong Shan is quite strong, and he is more than capable of handling whatever happens tonight.

then……

Zhang Zhiwei waved to Zhang Chulan and led the way into the library: "Chulan, come in with me. Tonight, I will personally pass on my knowledge to you!"

"The Celestial Master's Salvation..."

Upon witnessing this scene, Fu Xuan, hidden in the shadows, narrowed his eyes, recalling the scene of that battle a thousand years ago.

At that time, the top experts from the Taoist sect were not only Zhang Boduan, but also Zhang Shixiu, the thirty-first generation Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain. After activating "omniscience", he also saw the true appearance of the "Celestial Master's Degree" restriction.

That was a "path to heaven" unique to the Taoist sect...

It's hidden in this thousand-year-old tradition!
