Chapter 1528 -s 1476-1477 Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, Are You Seeking Death?
The number of strong practitioners within the Shenxiao Sect was a matter that no one except the Sect Leader and a few True Immortals could fathom.
Even the information obtained by the Sect Leader and these True Immortals was not comprehensive, because the cultivation of any cultivator was never static, especially as they participated in the Heavenly Court’s expansion and traveled through numerous worlds. It was quite possible that someone who was common at one moment, by virtue of fortune in a certain world, could rise abruptly.
The news of the succession of the Shenxiao Sect’s Sect Leader spread rapidly within the entire sect and became known to numerous powerful individuals.
It should be understood that although these Supreme Strongs and Supreme Overlords said they were not concerned about the authority within Shenxiao Sect, that did not mean they were indifferent to many affairs within the sect.
Moreover, even if a strong practitioner did not deliberately gather forces, as they themselves became more powerful, people would unconsciously gather around them and be influenced by them.
Therefore, even if those strong practitioners were indifferent to worldly affairs, they still had numerous supporters around them. These people depended on the Supreme Strongs and Supreme Overlords and naturally hoped that the person they depended on would become stronger, so that they too could rise with the tide and gain more benefits.
And without a doubt, was there anything more coveted in the entire Shenxiao Sect, or even the entire Divine Land World, let alone the boundless worlds in the Chaos Void, than the authority and status represented by the Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect?
Thus, when this news was released, it instantly set off a storm within the Shenxiao Sect. The myriad Supreme Strongs and Supreme Overlords, who usually remained hidden, exploring the vast Chaos Void, immediately changed their direction and began to return to the Shenxiao Sect, eager to probe the situation, understand their rivals, and see if they were qualified and had the chance to vie for the throne of the Sect Leader.
In an instant, the number of Supreme Strongs in the entire Divine Land World, and especially those within the Shenxiao Sect, multiplied by several times.
Normally, even for the cultivators of the Shenxiao Sect, sightings of Supreme Strongs were extremely rare, but now they were seen frequently.
Not all of these Supreme Strongs were qualified to compete for the throne of the Sect Leader, but just as a certain familial inheritor among the Supreme Strongs thought, even if one could not participate in the succession, they could still become involved in other ways. In doing so, they could completely have the chance to reap substantial rewards, with much lower risks compared to direct involvement.
Even for such individuals, if they were truly alone and unfettered, even if they were to tragically fail in the succession battle, they could simply leave and explore the vast Chaos Void. They could simply avoid returning while the winner sat on the throne of Sect Leader.
