Chapter 847: Chapter 61: Can you make it clear?! [Two in One]

"Hmm..."

Huan Leisheng stood on the round platform in front of the courtyard, looking down at the grandees of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, feeling a bout of dizziness and disorientation.

For someone like him, an off-mainstream cultivator, to have fortuitously broken through Heaven’s Gate and become a grandmaster of a sect through the way of the Talisman was already an achievement to be proud of in this lifetime.

He had never dared to dream that one day he could stand before the great figures of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands and have them listen earnestly to every word he said.

All this was thanks to Master Chu.

But what should he say?

According to protocol, before the vote of the various Immortal Sects, a few competing sect leaders would successively take the stage to give speeches, talking about their advantages, expressing their ideals, discussing future plans, and canvassing for their sects. The earlier sects had already spoken passionately, and it was finally Huan Leisheng’s turn, although he wasn’t even aware there was such an agenda.

The Talisman Sect had no heritage, no disciples, no ambitions. His greatest dream was to forge the Talisman Heavenly Plate, which, with the help of Chu Liang, he had realized decades in advance. So, what should he say? He truly didn’t know.

This embarrassment was also thanks to Master Chu.

Sigh.

Resigned, Huan Leisheng took a silent breath and nonetheless began with difficulty: "Our Talisman Sect possesses the most advanced talisman-making techniques in the current Immortal Cultivation World. Our talismans have covered the Four Seas and Nine States in a short period. Our sect’s ideal is to let the sects in the Mortal Realm all use the affordable talismans we produce! If we are fortunate enough to be elected among the Ten Earth Sects, then... then I promise that the talismans produced by our sect will all be sold at a 15% discount within three years!"

"..."

There was a brief silence below.

This election declaration was indeed quite... refreshing and original. To say nothing else, those familiar with Chu Liang could feel a strong Chu flavor in it.

Did this mean "election success equals benefits for family members"?

"Good!" Li Fujian was the first to applaud, followed by thunderous clapping.

It was then that people realized Huan Leisheng’s brief declaration was over, and sparse applause followed. Once Huan Leisheng returned to his seat, someone from the Regent Residence immediately distributed a wooden token refined by a secret method, allowing individuals from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands to write down their choice on it.

A wooden board with nineteen nails was brought onto the stage. The tokens would soon be hung on these nails and then flipped over in sequence to announce the results.

Conversation was not allowed during the voting process. Only after the tokens had been successively hung on the board in front of the stage did whispers begin to sound.

After hanging the Heavenly Gang Sect’s token, Li Fujian returned to his seat and saw Huan Leisheng sitting there with a smile, looking relaxed. In contrast, the leaders of the other competing sects were more or less tense.

He couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Are you not nervous at all?"

"I couldn’t be less nervous," Huan Leisheng said with a wry smile.

He had already seen clearly that his only purpose here was to broaden his horizons and get his face known among the great Immortal Sect members. As for competing for a spot among the Ten Earth Sects, there was no hope at all.

He didn’t even want that title, so naturally, he felt relaxed once he thought about it.

...

"Ladies and gentlemen!" Heavenly Official Li Chengfeng took the stage and pressed down his hands; he was the host of this grand assembly, "The voting by the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands and the Imperial Court has been completed. Now, let’s reveal the votes of the various Immortal Sects one by one."

The first token hanging on the wooden board belonged to the Penglai Upper Sect.

Regardless of whether relations were cordial, it was a point that had to be acknowledged: the Penglai Upper Sect’s strength was indeed ranked first among all the Immortal Sects. This fact wouldn’t be disputed even by the Heavenly King Sect, which was foremost in opposing Penglai.

Li Chengfeng picked up the token marked with the Penglai Upper Sect, flipped it gently, and the characters on the back became immediately visible.

"Town Star Island, one vote," he announced loudly, while the cultivators below, with their extraordinary eyesight, could also see for themselves.

That the Penglai Upper Sect would vote for Town Star Island was no surprise; even if only to show that they supported their little brother, as long as Town Star Island existed, Penglai had to back it.

However, on the side of Town Star Island, the new Island Master Hong Jufeng had a very solemn expression.

The crowd didn’t think much of it, after all, how happy could a person be who had just lost his father?

But few knew that Hong Jufeng was not saddened by this event. Although his father had died because of the Ten Earth Sects election, fortunately, the leg of lamb was delicious, and when balancing the two, things weren’t all bad.

But now, as a sub-leader under Master Chu the Head Master, sitting next to Penglai Upper Sect’s contingent was truly nerve-wracking—like sitting on pins and needles, feeling a thorn in the back, or having a fishbone stuck in the throat...

Especially when he felt someone’s gaze on him, his entire body would jolt, worrying whether his betrayal had been exposed.

Fortunately, the number of such scrutinizing glances was not many.

Li Chengfeng swiftly revealed the ticket from Misty Mountain Immortals, and the name on it was also Town Star Island.

"Town Star Island, two votes!"

Misty Mountain, also located in the Eastern Sea and often aligned with Penglai, had cast a vote that also declared their stance.

Then came the Heavenly King Sect and the Tianshu Pavilion’s votes.

"Jupiter Dao, one vote."

"Jupiter Dao, two votes!"

Town Star Island and Jupiter Dao were even at two votes each.

These were the expected votes from the base, and no one was surprised. Then came the Heavenly Gang Sect.

Li Chengfeng unveiled the Heavenly Gang Sect’s vote and announced loudly, "Talisman Sect, one vote."
