Chapter 292: Chapter 80: Lu Family Chaos, Tao Wu Appears 【Seeking Monthly Tickets!】_1

In the era when the Demon Suppression Tower was lost, Lu Yu was the Sect Leader of the Shu Mountain Sect.

When the Zhenshan Divine Artifact suddenly disappeared, there was widespread panic across Shu Mountain. There were dangers from both inside and outside, and it could be said that it was the biggest crisis faced by Shu Mountain after the Demon God.

Master Lu Yu led the disciples of Shu Mountain through one difficulty after another and retained their maximum vitality. In the darkest moment of their fall, without his grit and perseverance, Shu Mountain might have, like other mountains that have suffered disasters, never recovered and left the stage of history.

Because he devoted too much energy to Shu Mountain, Master Lu Yu’s cultivation was greatly affected, and his lifespan came to an early end. He was one of the shortest-lived sect leaders in the history of Shu Mountain.

When his lifespan was about to end, he was faced with a difficult choice.

The situation in Shu Mountain was still not optimistic, and they needed a strong leader in times of adversity. The best candidate at that time was Master Lu Yu’s own son, later known as the Little Sect Master Lu - Master Lu Wuqi or Lu Wuqi.

Lu Wuqi had extraordinary talent and superior skill since childhood, and he was highly respected in Shu Mountain. He was indeed the best choice for the position of Sect Leader.

However, there had never been a case in Shu Mountain where a son succeeded his father as Sect Leader. This was not a hereditary Immortal Sect, how could there be a hereditary tradition? If he were to pass the position of Sect Leader to his own son, Master Lu Yu was likely to bear much criticism and set a bad precedent.

If it were peaceful times, even if his son was better, he would certainly choose someone else. But at that time, Shu Mountain’s position in the Nine Heavens was still precarious and there were countless resources that attracted the covetous. A leader with the most strength and courage was required to turn the tide.

Master Lu Yu finally left the choice to the four Zhenshan Elders and slowly closed his eyes. After all, he did not personally pass the Heavenly Rights Token to his own son. After his fall, the four Zhenshan Elders did not hesitate to hail Master Wuqi as the new leader of Shu Mountain.

After Master Wuqi took over, Shu Mountain swept away the previous fatigue and regained its prestige!

His first policy was, in the absence of Divine Artifacts, Shu Mountain did not need to fight with the other Nine Heavens Immortal Sects. As long as they could suppress all Ten Earth Immortal Sects, their current status would be secure. Even if Shu Mountain is the last of the Nine Heavens, it is still better than the Ten Earths.

This strategic thinking has been followed by Shu Mountain up to now.

During his tenure, he completely established the current internal training system of Shu Mountain, giving the sect disciples great autonomy. The current educational philosophy of Shu Mountain is actually rare in the traditional Immortal Sects, but it is somewhat similar to the Demon Sect’s way of raising gu, of course there are also great differences.

Old-school Immortal Sects like Heavenly Gang Sect and Misty Mountain Immortal have always been like they were in ancient times, with a Master leading a few disciples, only choosing those with exceptional talent to join. All the resources, trials, and tasks in the disciples’ growth process are arranged by the Master, and only a few geniuses need to be cultivated.

But under the reform of Master Wuqi, Shu Mountain established a system of free flow of resources and tasks. Magic Artifacts, Elixirs, Divine Skills... everything can be obtained freely, but it has to be earned by merit.

Under this system, which disciple to train is not up to the Master. Although it looks like free-range cultivation, and no one has received much favor, as long as there is talent and ability, they can stand out. Resources are not distributed by the elders, but are freely concentrated on the capable disciples.

If it weren’t for this system, Chu Liang wouldn’t have been so successful.

A big event happened in Shu Mountain in the later years of Master Wuqi.

Then, the two people who were vying for the position of Sect Leader were Master Wen Yuan and Lu Cang, who was the son of Master Wuqi.

At that time, Shu Mountain was already stable under the rule of Master Wuqi, with no more disputes. As for Lu Cang, compared to Wen Yuan, he was not much prominent. Both could be considered equals.

Given Master Wuqi’s achievements, if he wanted to pass on the position of Sect Leader to his son, no one would blame him... Even if they thought it was inappropriate, no one would object openly.

But in this case, the position of Shu Mountain Sect Leader would truly become hereditary. Therefore, a considerable number of elders supported Wen Yuan.

But Lu Cang was ambitious and was gathering his supporters under his father’s banner, and indeed some people supported him because of Master Wuqi’s sake.

The open and secret fights between Wen Yuan and Lu Cang lasted for more than ten years at that time. During this period, Master Wuqi kept silent and no one could figure out his intentions.

Until later, the lifespan of Master Wuqi also came to an end.

It is said that every cultivator of the Ninth Realm will enter the Shenxu when their lifespan is about to end. Whether it is some kind of destiny’s call or there are some life-changing opportunities hidden in it, even the cultivators of the Eighth Realm would go in to try their luck before they die.

Master Wuqi also decided to do so. He not only entered Shenxu himself but also took Wen Yuan and Lu Cang with him.

At that time, everyone in Shu Mountain speculated that this might be a trial for these two competitors, and the winner might get the position of Sect Leader.

The final result, however, was Wen Yuan returning alone.

He said that Master Wuqi did put him and Lu Cang through a trial, and in the end, Lu Cang disappeared in the Shenxu, and only he came out.
