Chapter 1572 - 1520-1521 No Flaws, Accelerating Internal Struggle
As one of the most outstanding Supreme Strong within the Shenxiao Sect, Wan Fayi was also highly competitive among the many candidates, surrounded by numerous supporters backing his accession.
In the Shenxiao Sect, there seemed to be many eligible to inherit the position of Sect Leader, yet in reality, only a handful could truly have the opportunity and possibility to succeed.
The Shenxiao Sect housed many Supreme Strong, but those with charisma and sufficient power to assume the position were few, all remarkable like Wan Fayi, with exceptional talent and extraordinary strength.
Although, in the eyes of the higher echelons of the Shenxiao Sect and others, the position of Sect Leader didn’t necessitate great strength—just enough capability to manage the affairs of the Shenxiao Sect.
After all, those sitting in the position of Sect Leader rarely needed to act personally; most times, they didn’t need to lift a finger.
However, this was the thinking of the upper ranks. They didn’t care about this aspect, but for the middle and lower tiers of cultivators, it was entirely different.
They understood that after taking the position of Sect Leader in the Shenxiao Sect, not much strength was needed, but standing from different perspectives, they considered different things.
First, one must realize this is a transcendental world where the strong are respected. Even though Pei Xuanjing had fostered a relatively fair environment in the Shenxiao Sect, this principle couldn’t be changed.
Because the path of cultivation inevitably is filled with competition. Even a relative fairness maintains only a portion of resources; aspiring for more necessitates showcasing one’s extraordinary abilities.
Thus, within the Shenxiao Sect, while there is no discrimination against weaker cultivators, it’s inevitable that when all come together, only the strong will dominate and receive others’ support.
Therefore, after Pang Hong wished to vacate the position of Sect Leader, those who could truly step forward and qualify to contend for the position, every one of them was extraordinary and supported by countless backers.
After all, with weak strength, unable to intimidate or win over others, even with wisdom, one is destined only to serve as a consultant or military strategist, unable to wield decision-making authority.
