In the early morning, in the Wanxiang Garden above Liantian City, the bright moonlight shone down, reflecting silver light everywhere.

Wang Jiu walked out of the room, stepped on the silver frost on the ground, and looked at the bright moon above his head.

This bright moon, which is quite different from the Kyushu era, once seemed so strange, but now it is also friendly.

In a blink of an eye, it has been a year.

A year ago, a crisp and energetic girl's voice awakened him from his ten thousand years of sleep and brought life to a new world.

Now he has gradually adapted to life in Xiangzhou and to the world without demons and the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals.

According to old friends, the original life goals have been achieved, so it is time to consider new goals.

For example, someone suggested that he find a girlfriend and study the reproductive behavior between swords and people...

Of course, Wang Jiu was not ready to adopt the suggestion from his old friend. As a perfect thing without gender, it would undoubtedly be a blasphemy to impose the reproductive behavior of defective creatures like humans.

Of course, Wang Jiu had no interest in self-blame, so he could only thank Bumin for his old friend's kindness. If she was really persistent, Wang Jiu would consider refining her into a sword so that she could experience the beauty of a perfect top-class creature in person. At that time, I believe she would no longer be obsessed with low-level fun.

But that's all about the later story, what to do now...

He lowered his head and looked at the quiet scenery in Wanxiang Garden, Wang Jiu once again felt a little subtle. As one of the holy places of human civilization, there is always a faint smell of demons here.

This connection is very weak, and it is obviously influenced by the first generation of sect leaders and does not pose a real threat, so Wang Jiu did not intend to make a big fuss about this, but as an absolute expert in killing demons and eliminating demons, he still feels a little uncomfortable in such an environment.

However, if you inherit the position of the sect leader and become the master of the Holy Sect and even the world, this Wanxiang Garden will become his territory, and every grass and tree will be at his mercy. Wang Jiu has already planned to transform this place into a Wanjian Amusement Park.

This is a treatment that Wang Jiu has never enjoyed.

During the human era, he grew up in a swordsman with strict rules. He grew up from being a traitor to becoming a chief disciple, and then left the sect to come to a broader world... But from beginning to end, he was in strict rules, and never truly belonged to him.

The only sword in his hand belongs to him - no, strictly speaking, even the sword in his hand belongs to the sect, and the only sword in his heart is the invisible sword given by the unique sword pool between heaven and earth. Later, his sword skills were perfected, and he became his own sect from the sect and was also home to all the worlds.

It's really a strange concept to own home. Even from the perspective of the Jiuzhou era, this Wanxiang Garden can be regarded as exquisite and beautiful.

This is the main part of the Holy Sect. A transparent garden quietly suspended above Liantian City is not large in area and can accommodate quite limited people. Including the conventionally reserved hospitality land, this garden in the sky can only accommodate a few hundred people.

Over the years, the Holy Sect has never considered expanding the Wanxiang Garden. Even though the technology and resources have been spared, the Holy Sect would rather limit its number than expand the Wanxiang Garden. This restraint and self-restriction originated from the saints' ancestors is also one of the reasons why the Holy Sect's reputation has remained undeclined for two thousand years.

But this is obviously just a superficial reason.

The Wanxiang Garden of the Holy Sect was built two thousand years ago. It was a miracle that transcends the times that the two sect masters of the Holy Sect used relics from the prehistoric world. At that time, the Wanxiang Garden was vast enough for the Holy Sect - the entire Holy Sect was less than fifteen people, and these people were enough to manage the newly formed Xiangzhou civilization.

However, with the rapid development of Xiangzhou, the seven major families left Liantian City and went to different regions to open up the territory and establish new civilization strongholds, making the manpower of the Holy Sect seem to be short of their power.

When everyone was in Liantian City, the main sect contacted someone, and shouted loudly could make the other party hear it. However, when border cities such as Qingyun City and Tiangong City were built one after another and a large number of people began to migrate, the Holy Sect wanted to contact the heads of those aristocratic families, so they could only use expensive letters or send envoys to it.

The world is so great that with the power of more than a hundred people in the Holy Sect, it is impossible to properly manage it.

Therefore, in recent years, the Shengzong has only been responsible for the overall strategy of Xiangzhou, and the details are basically implemented by the seven major families, and the Third Hospital is responsible for handling it.

So some people say that the one who truly controls Xiangzhou is not the noble Holy Sect, but the Third Court.

Now the master of the Holy Sect asked him to deal with the problem of the Third Court.

The inheritance of the Qinglian Sword Academy was unexpectedly cut off, and it is necessary to find someone to reversely deduce the Qinglian Sword Classic as soon as possible to ensure the balance of power of the Three Academys. Although under the leadership of the Shengzong, the competition and contradictions between the Three Academys have always been constant. For two thousand years, it has been relying on the efforts of many parties to maintain the balance of power between the Three Academys to ensure peace and stability of the entire continent. Now the Qinglian Sword Academy is clearly at a low point, so the Shengzong naturally spares no effort to support it.

Wang Jiu has not seen any detailed information about the deduction of the Qinglian Sword Classic, but from the outline, it is not something that is particularly difficult to restore. Its core system is to build a legacy from the prehistoric era, and that is exactly the area that Wang Jiu is best at. As long as he gets the sword technique map derived from the Qinglian Sword Classic, Wang Jiu is confident that he will deduce a perfect set of primitive swords in three days - it may be different from the original Qinglian Sword Classic, but the effect will definitely be higher.

Just as he thought of this, Wang Jiu suddenly heard a sound of footsteps coming from behind him.

Wang Jiu would not misunderstand Shen Qingming's unique pace and rhythm.

"Good evening, Qingming."

"Good evening, Ajiu." The girl's voice was filled with exhaustion, with five simple words. After she said that, she couldn't help but yawn.

Shen Qingming rubbed his eyes and asked, "Isn't resting so late... Are you thinking about the sect leader?"

"Yes." Wang Jiu nodded and admitted.

Shen Qingming's face immediately became heavy.

Things are really moving in a bad direction.

——

Two days ago, Wang Jiu and others returned from the ruins of Jinyunding, and then the leader of the Holy Sect regarded them as guests of honor and placed them in the Wanxiang Garden for temporary residence.

For this reason, it also caused quite a lot of discussion. It was a news that outsiders moved into Wanxiang Garden, the main body of the Holy Sect, as guests of honor, which is enough to be included in the annual event. Because Wanxiang Garden is in short supply, all people in the mainland know that even the heads of the seven famous families may not be destined to live in Wanxiang Garden when they come to Tiancheng. Among the three people in this group, only Zhao Chenlu seemed to be barely qualified, and the other two looked strange.

Of course, the leader of the Holy Sect does not need to explain anything to others when doing things, but strange things are strange after all, and the leader always has a reason to do things. At this time, an incredible news spread.

The leader of the Holy Sect intends to pass the position to Wang Jiu.

Although it is just a rumor that cannot be verified, the spread of the news still caused great riots. As we all know, the inheritance of the Holy Sect Master does not require any complicated procedures. As long as the Sect Master himself recognizes and teaches his true blood, the throne will be announced to be completed. The Sect Master's assessment of the successor is completely subjective and has no rigid standards. It is more extreme. If the Sect Master likes him, no one can stop him from passing the position to a dog.

However, in the past two thousand years, the successive sect leaders of the Holy Sect have never made such a ridiculous move. On the contrary, they chose their heirs more cautiously than anyone else, so that the Holy Sect often encounters the risk of dying. The ultimately selected heirs also convinced the people of the world.

But this time the situation is very special. Wang Jiu's true identity is still a secret for most people. In the eyes of the world, this is a guest official from aristocratic family who is well-known in Qingyun City. How can he take over as the leader of the Holy Sect?

Similar problems actually bother Shen Qingming.

The leader of the Holy Sect? Just the so-called divine sword from heaven that can make people angry? Is the doomsday of Xiangzhou coming?

And the more important question is: If he really takes over as the sect leader, will he return to Qingyun City and continue to be the guest minister of the Li family?

Will you go back to Shenyuan and be Shen Qingming's...master?

——

"Of course it's impossible."

Wang Jiu gave a decisive answer to the girl's questions.

Then, facing the pale face of Shen Qingming, Wang Jiu patiently explained.

"The Master of the Holy Sect is a very important task, which concerns the welfare of hundreds of millions of people in Xiangzhou, and requires me to invest a lot of energy. So I must stay in Liantian City to ensure work efficiency. If I live in Qingyun City, it will inevitably delay the opportunity when I encounter emergency work. Moreover, Liantian City is connected to the most entrances of the prehistoric ruins, and settling here is more convenient for me to use my spare time to find clues about the Nine Immortal Lord."

This explanation is reasonable, and Shen Qingming could not object, so he said again: "Then... I will stay in Liantian City with you."

Wang Jiu suddenly said in surprise: "You want to stay in Liantian City? Why?"

"In order to... learn Liantian City's advanced immortal cultivation culture at close range?"

"Okay, then you can stay."

"Wait, have you accepted this setting so easily?!"

Wang Jiu said again: "Isn't it? Then what are you doing when you stay?"

"It's for..." Shen Qingming suddenly blushed and hated that he was talking too much. What's wrong with the setting just now?!

With a little shyness from the girl, Shen Qingming said: "It is to take care of you, a stupid sword in the world who is not human. Although you have super intelligence, you are not suitable for human society. You need someone to take care of you so that you won't make jokes."

Wang Jiu said: "This problem is indeed very serious, so I have asked professionals to help. The sect leader promised me that he would equip me with a professional female secretary before I officially took office..."
