"How dare you! A mere Golden Core dares to provoke a mighty Transformation God expert! Are you courting death?"
Luo Liuxi feigned anger, sternly rebuking with a serious face.
The majesty of a Transformation God was inviolable, but her tone didn't sound intimidating at all, more like a young girl's petulant anger, making people's minds wander.
"Alright, alright, the little Golden Core knows its mistake. As compensation, the little Golden Core is willing to offer its exclusive massage technique."
Chen Changsheng grinned and took Luo Liuxi's slender hand, gently kneading it.
Saying it was a massage as an apology was more like a rude act of taking advantage, not only without the slightest fear, but also continuing to rudely violate the sacred fairy.
Luo Liuxi snorted lightly, too lazy to argue with this rogue, and pulled her hand back.
"I'm planning to move the Myriad Hands Palace to Taiping City, but the three Grand Elders of the sect have different opinions."
"One abstained, one opposed, and another suggested only taking some disciples to Taiping City to develop, saying the ancestral veins cannot be abandoned."
"I want to ask for your opinion."
Chen Changsheng nodded slightly after listening, and once again pulled over Luo Liuxi's fair little hand.
While groping and kneading, he said, "Since they hold different views, then one of them must break the balance. I think you can support the third Grand Elder's view. This is the best buffer, but you should try your best to bring more disciples from the Myriad Hands Palace."
"Only take a portion of the Myriad Hands Palace disciples? This will lead to slow development of the Myriad Hands Palace in Taiping City. Is that appropriate?"
Luo Liuxi frowned slightly, analyzing the hidden meaning in Chen Changsheng's words.
Her original plan was to move the entire sect to ensure a strong foundation to gain a foothold in Taiping City.
If only a portion of the disciples went, it would be unknown how long it would take to develop to its current scale.
Chen Changsheng's lips curled up, and he said lightly, "What if the elders and forces of the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage also reside there? If all the major sects and factions listen to Taiping City's dispatch and work together for progress, Taiping City's foundation will skyrocket."
"At that time, Taiping City will be a sacred place in the eyes of all major sects and factions, and it will be more like the main branch than the current Myriad Hands Palace! This will attract more Myriad Hands Palace disciples to come."
Once the sects and factions settle in Taiping City, it will be equivalent to completely becoming a member of Taiping City, and the interests between the sects will also be tied together.
The reason why the Grand Elders of the Myriad Hands Palace are unwilling to move is likely due to this point.
They don't want the Myriad Hands Palace to become a vassal of Taiping City, but they also want to continue to receive the protection of the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage.
Those non-Dao lineage elder sects and factions join the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage with the same idea, neither wanting to become a vassal of Taiping City nor wanting to enjoy the benefits and resources of the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage.
If there is a major upheaval in the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage, there are not many sects and factions that will do their best to lend a helping hand.
Luo Liuxi's eyes lit up after hearing this: "You're right. Since we've joined Taiping City, we're all one family and must listen to Taiping City's dispatch. Why distinguish so clearly? Common progress is the key."
As a plan for the sect to settle in Taiping City, she thought about more things, and it was precisely because she thought too much that she easily fell into a cognitive misunderstanding.
Chen Changsheng's reminder directly opened her mind.
There was no need for Chen Changsheng to explain why he only invited the elder forces and not the sects of the Dao lineage disciples.
Not being able to move the entire sect into Taiping City might actually be a good thing.
After simply chatting with Chen Changsheng for a few words, Luo Liuxi couldn't wait to return to the Myriad Hands Palace and tell the three Grand Ancestors her thoughts.
After a sect meeting, the Myriad Hands Palace decided to send half of its disciples and half of its elders to Taiping City for development, while the three Grand Ancestors continued to sit in the Myriad Hands Palace.
This was already the limit that Luo Liuxi had strived for.
......
One year later.
The Myriad Hands Palace held an enthronement ceremony for the new Palace Master, and Luo Liuxi officially became the new Palace Master of the Myriad Hands Palace.
The number of sects and factions invited this time was dozens of times that of the Azure Heaven Sect, and the scale was extremely grand.
Many cultivators who came to participate in the ceremony were not only because of the Myriad Hands Palace's reputation, but also because Luo Liuxi was the Dao Lord of the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage!
Thousands of sects and factions came from all over the Eight Desolations, like paying homage to the great power of a sacred dynasty.
Chen Changsheng sat in the front row of the banquet, at the same table with Luo Liuxi and Chen Qianqian.
He completely ignored the strange gazes of the people around him, gobbling down food and drink.
Many sect leader-level figures were whispering, asking what Chen Changsheng's identity was and why a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator was qualified to sit beside Luo Liuxi. What was even more outrageous was that the people of the Myriad Hands Palace didn't care at all.
"Everyone, don't guess wildly. That one is also an elder of the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage, and he is a first-generation elder of the Dao lineage. Foundation Establishment is just a pretense for him to play the fool. Do you really think that someone sitting next to Fairy Luo would be an ordinary person?"
An informed person carefully reminded everyone not to guess wildly and to be careful not to be overheard by Chen Changsheng.
Upon learning Chen Changsheng's identity, everyone's faces tightened, and they dared not discuss it any further.
The Ancient Immortal Dao lineage is the largest righteous immortal alliance in the current cultivation world. Every elder has powerful cultivation and background and is the absolute core of the Dao lineage.
Daring to speak ill of the Dao lineage elders is simply dancing on the line of death.
"Jiang Xu, a second-generation elder of the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage, hereby congratulates the Dao Lord on taking over the great power of the Myriad Hands Palace!"
"Bai Xiaoping, a second-generation elder of the Dao lineage, hereby congratulates the Dao Lord!"
"Yan Xinru, a second-generation elder, congratulates the Dao Lord!"
Three cultivators walked over, raised their glasses, and greeted Luo Liuxi, then drank the fairy wine in their cups in one gulp.
Chen Changsheng ate while looking at the other party. The visitors were two women and one man.
Jiang Xu was the only male cultivator and also the only Golden Core among the three. The other two women were only Foundation Establishment.
"You two must be Elder Qianqian and Elder Changsheng. I also toast you two a cup."
Bai Xiaoping, with her beautiful appearance, smiled and raised her glass again to drink, especially experienced in worldly affairs.
Yan Xinru, who was on the side, immediately became flustered, poured herself fairy wine, and imitated Bai Xiaoping's words and actions to toast Chen Changsheng and Chen Qianqian.
She was somewhat inexperienced in dealing with people and relied entirely on Bai Xiaoping's guidance.
Chen Changsheng smiled and raised his glass in return to the two of them, his eyes looking at Jiang Xu, who only nodded slightly, the arrogance in the depths of his eyes fleeting.
Jiang Xu did not take the previous reminders from the other second-generation elders to heart at all.
As a fellow Golden Core and a member of the cultivation group, he did not think he was worse than Chen Changsheng.
In Jiang Xu's view, Chen Changsheng had only eaten the dividends of joining the group early to become a first-generation elder. Relying on the resources of the cultivation group, Chen Changsheng's cultivation was almost the same as his, which showed that this person's ability was actually not strong.
Jiang Xu raised his glass to Chen Qianqian and said, "I also toast Elder Qianqian a cup."
After saying that, he drank the wine in one gulp.
Chen Qianqian frowned slightly, without any response.
Bai Xiaoping and Yan Xinru were secretly shocked when they saw this.
They had agreed to come and toast the Dao lineage elders, but Jiang Xu only toasted Luo Liuxi and Chen Qianqian, deliberately ignoring Chen Changsheng.
This was a bit too much!
Fortunately, the two found that Chen Changsheng only glanced at Jiang Xu and continued to eat and drink, not taking worldly affairs too seriously at all.
However, at this moment, Jiang Xu suddenly asked Luo Liuxi, "Fairy Luo, I wonder if I can sit with you?"
