History's Number 1 Founder Chapter 1478 – Legend!

Chapter 1478: Legend!

Everybody knew what the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ bell ceremony rules were.

Seven chimes from the Bell of Destiny represented respect for guests, and the number of chimes were determined by the guests’ status – one chime for the lowest, and seven chimes for the highest.

Eight chimes represented an internal grand ceremony, and all disciples from the sect – both successive and foundational disciples – would gather.

Nine chimes represented an internal grand ceremony hosted by the Founder, Lin Feng.

Anything lower than nine chimes from the Bell of Destiny were meant for hosting guests and internal administrative matters, and anything above nine chimes usually meant the Celestial Sect of Wonders had something to announce to the entire world.

The final rite was eighty-one chimes, but the Celestial Sect of Wonders hoped never to use that.

The reason was because eighty-one chimes meant the sect leader had fallen.

Perhaps, some people outside of the Celestial Sect of Wonders fantasized for that to happen, everyone thought about the man that was currently the sect leader and everyone immediately tossed that thought away.

There was probably a chance before the contest of the Spirit Sea, but after slaying Shen Yuan and defeating Xuan Shang, all similar thoughts were completely dispelled.

Below eighty-one chimes, the next rite was sixty-four chimes.

Sixty-four chimes of the Bell of Destiny meant the sect leader was passing on his position.

With the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ current influence and position, this was a grand event enough to stir up the entire Grand Celestial World.

Everyone was initially surprised, but eventually became a little at a loss.

The purple-robed youth that single-handedly brought the Celestial Sect of Wonders to where they were today was about to pass on the position of sect leader?

A long time ago, the impression in everybody’s minds was that the Lin Feng was equivalent to the Celestial Sect of Wonders, and the Celestial Sect of Wonders was equivalent to Lin Feng himself.

Following Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao and the everyone’s rise to power over the years, and the younger generation of disciples from the Celestial Sect of Wonders matured, this impression gradually withered away.

Lin Feng settled the state of the world during the War of the Two Worlds with four strikes of his sword, and he was invincible during the battle of the Spirit Sea that had just ended. He defeated two demon emperors that were known to be legendary evils in history, and this returned Lin Feng’s reputation to the pinnacle once again.

However, nobody expected Lin Feng to leave a shadow behind after just reaching the top of the world.

Some people thought that Lin Feng ended up like the Great Void Holy Man when the latter battled Emperor Jue back in the day, or similar to when the Tai Yi Holy Man had a showdown with the Hades Emperor. Even though Lin Feng managed to slay Shen Yuan and he locked down Xuan Shang, he probably suffered some heinous injury that needed a long time to recover from.

Or perhaps, after he defeated the Emperor of Extremity, he had to focus all his remaining energy to plug Emperor Jue within the Black Sea.

However, everyone watched as the eight great abodes travelled far and wide across the entire world, while the formidability of Lin Feng’s Bell of Destiny shook the world once more, and they all shook their heads.

Lin Feng didn’t seem like he was frail or weak at all.

Those people that knew what happened were aware that the Heaven-Destroying Sword was hovering in the outer void and could descend upon the world at any moment.

However, the Heaven-Destroying Sword’s current state was similar to the frightening Death Sea – under normal circumstances, nobody could feel its presence or its existence.

The Tai Yi Holy Man and the others were back on Mount Baiyun, and they were both standing on the mountaintop and staring in the direction of the Kunlun Mountains. Their expressions were as inscrutable as much as they were indescribable.

The other cultivators of the Divine Lands shared this sentiment.

At this moment, light images appeared in every corner of the Grand Celestial World, and in front of every cultivator.

Lin Feng’s figure appeared on this image. His expression was calm, and he had a faint smile on his face. “Sorry to disturb everyone so rudely. I have something to announce.”

“From now on, me, the Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Lin Feng, will pass on the position of sect leader to my first disciple – the Xuan Yan Holy Man, Xiao Yan.”

“Xiao Yan will take over as the sect’s second-generation sect leader. I am announcing this news to the entire world, and everyone will be a witness.”

“The official ceremony will be postponed until Xuan Ni and Xuan Ming return from the Spirit Sea. Every one of the same path is cordially invited to participate in the ceremony, and I hereby thank everyone in advance.”

Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao, Yue Hongyan, Li Yuanfang, and Luo Qingwu appeared before Lin Feng, while Wang Lin and Yang Qing used their mana to project themselves forward.

Everyone listened to Lin Feng’s words, and then they watched how Wang Lin and Yang Qing were like, ad then they heaved a sigh inside. It was apparent that the Spirit Sea was indeed in Lin Feng and the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ possession.

If Wang Lin and Yang Qing were inside the Spirit Sea, there was no way they could project their images across the Spirit Sea’s borders and into the Greater World if that hadn’t been true.

Xiao Yan had always been Lin Feng’s First Disciple, and this position had never been changed or switched around before. He had sufficient power and influence, and Xiao Yan succeeding as the second-generation sect leader was within everyone’s expectations.

Except, nobody expected this day to come so quickly.

Lin Feng was currently reigning supreme over all earth from the top of the world, and he was at his prime. However, he quickly relinquished all this and chose this time to pass on his position as sect leader.

Xiao Yan stood before Lin Feng with a calm look on his face. However, when Lin Feng announced this piece of news to him earlier, Xiao Yan had been equally taken aback.

He was about to ask before he met his master’s gaze, and he immediately understood.

Xiao Yan had always been daring, bold, and decisive. The doubts in his mind faded away, and he didn’t hesitate and neither did he shy away. All these thoughts became his mantle to bear, and all he had to do was work hard and do his best.

He collapsed to the ground on his knees before Lin Feng and said, “I, Xuan Yan, will do all I can.”

Zhu Yi smiled faintly beside Xiao Yan. Zhu Yi was responsible, and he was daring. The idea of being a gentleman in his mind was to be bold, to be resilient and to persevere, and to always strive for greater heights.

When he was younger, he had a good rapport with Xiao Yan, but he also possessed a competitive heart. He had the mind to become the number-one disciple amongst Lin Feng’s group of disciples, and to become the leading example and role model for everyone in his sect.

This had nothing to do with his virtues and his personality, and this had nothing to do with his relationship with the other disciples either.

This thought gradually faded away over time. This wasn’t because Zhu Yi’s personality and mentality was different, and Zhu Yi was still that determined and hardheaded green-robed scholar like he had always been.

However, he progressed continually along the path of cultivation, and his current path was the most satisfactory one.

“My wish is for the principles of humanity, of heaven and earth to be announced to the entire world so that everyone can know and everyone can understand, so that everyone has a chance to understand the profundities of the human world!”

“My wish is for every living being in all the worlds to be free, and for them all to be no longer ignorant, no longer witless and foolish!”

“My wish is for heaven and earth to be eternally at peace, and for all evil to be purged from the world!”

“My wish is for every single human being to succeed. I wish for them to be as powerful as they can be, so that they can be free and control their own fates and destinies!”

This was his grand desire and ambition. He established the knowledge palace, and he roamed the worlds to revolutionize things so that everyone would progress with him, shoulder-to-shoulder.

He knew that both his master and his senior brother supported him, and whether the position of sect leader was passed on to him no longer mattered.

Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao, Yue Hongyan, Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang, Luo Qingwu all smiled at Xiao Yan before they bowed together with Zhu Yi, “Your wish is my command.”

Even powerful demons of the Grand Celestial World had an image like this before them, and everyone watched on in silence and deliberation.

The human cultivators of the Divine Lands all heaved a faint sigh as they said, “Congratulations, Xuan Yan Holy Man. Congratulation, Inferno Emperor!”

“We will definitely participate in this grand and happy event. Please forgive us for any disturbances or inconveniences.”

Even though the ceremony had to be postponed until Wang Lin returned with Yang Qing, this piece of news was already announced to the entire world.

This drastic change juxtaposed with the Celestial Sect of Wonders assimilating the Spirit Sea had far-reaching implications.

Many people were still a little shaken, as the Celestial Sect of Wonders sudden announcement was beyond everyone’s expectations.

They eventually started feeling a little skeptical and suspicious. They were suspicious of Lin Feng – what was he going to do after turning his back on everything?

They were both shaken and skeptical, but everyone would only sigh in awe.

The Leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Lin Feng, had already become the greatest legend in the history of the Grand Celestial World.

According to the Greater World’s timeline, it had yet to be a hundred years since the Celestial Sect of Wonders established their mighty empire and eventually climbed to the pinnacle of the Grand Celestial World.

He passed the position of sect leader to his disciple, but his figure and his shadow would always be within the Celestial Sect of Wonders, looking down upon the Greater World.

After Wang Lin and Yang Qing returned from the Spirit Sea, the Celestial Sect of Wonders held the grand ceremony and invited all the cultivators in the world to participate and witness the ceremony.

Something worth nothing was that besides powerful human cultivators, the Monkey, the Phoenix Grand Sage, the Taotie Grand Sage, the Xuanming Grand Sage amongst other powerful demons came to witness the ceremony as well.

Everyone couldn’t help but feel a little confused. However, they were Lin Feng’s guests, and everybody could only settle and down and play the part on Mount Yujing.

And so, Lin Feng passed the position of sect leader to Xiao Yan in this unprecedented and novel ceremony.

Lin Feng used his abilities to create something in the void, and it transformed into an enormous boulder that hovered in midair. It drifted over the Yun Peak Mirror Lake in the northern foot of the Kunlun Mountains, and it reflected off the river’s surface beneath it.

The Taiji Pavilion, the Grand Heavens Pavilion, the Universal Light Hall, the Divine Work Pavilion, the Dharma Hall, amongst other structures and constructions were taken out of Mount Yujing and landed upon the levitating mountain.

The Destiny-level magic treasure, Imperial Palace, was officially renamed as the Taiji Star Palace, while the other two Destiny-level magic treasures, the Crucible of the Divine Lands and the Nine Suns Glorious Pearl became the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ heirloom treasures.

The Taiji Star Palace was still at the Black Sea, and it was still working together with the Taiji Celestial Star Formation to lock Xuan Shang into Black Sea. The Crucible of the Divine Lands and the Nine Suns Glorious Pearl were officially passed down to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan tore open the crack of the Netherworld Sea, and countless calamities and tribulations could be seen. However, they were calm and peaceful, and the entire scene appeared sinister but intimidating at the same time.

Catastrophe slowly drifted into vision. It combined its power with the Netherworld Sea, and it was a sight that instilled fear into everyone’s hearts.

Everyone watched on, and they knew that besides the Spirit Sea, the Ying Sea, and the Starry Sea, the Netherworld Sea was actually also in the Celestial Sect of Wonders’ hands.

The second-generation sect leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders was known as the Inferno Emperor, but he had another name – Ruler of the Netherworld Sea!

Everyone dispersed after the conclusion of this grand ceremony. They looked back in the direction of the Kunlun Mountains while they walked, and the final scene that fell into everyone’s eyes was that Mount Yujing, the place known within the Celestial Sect of Wonders as their ancestral ground, broke open the void and vanished above the heavens.
