The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud-Chapter 945: Complete Submission
Chapter 945: Complete Submission
"Then what?"
As Li Lingxi spoke, her tone was calm, and the Immortal King-level aura she had displayed earlier was completely withdrawn.
Her lips curled into a smile once more, showing her unpredictable nature.
She looked at Zhou Daoqi and the other elders again.
At this, Zhou Daoqi and Song Kaishan exchanged glances.
Then, Zhou Daoqi spoke with a deep voice:
"If the sect master can truly achieve what you have described, then from this day forward, we will have no further objections to you.
We will truly follow your lead without any disloyalty.
Furthermore, I, Zhou Daoqi, am willing to become your sword. Whatever you order me to do, I will do it without hesitation!"
After saying this, he continued:
"However, if the sect master cannot fulfill what you have just promised, then the Divine Dan Sect will establish an Elder Council.
The authority of the Elders Council will be equal to yours.
We can no longer entrust the entire Divine Dan Sect to your sole control!"
As Zhou Daoqi spoke, his tone was neither servile nor overbearing.
Although their strength and alchemy skills were inferior to Li Lingxi's, the Divine Dan Sect was not without other Immortal Kings.
In their eyes, their demands were both reasonable and justified.
As they spoke, Zhou Daoqi and all the elders behind him raised one hand to the sky and the other to the ground, swearing an oath to the Heavenly Dao.
The destruction of the Flame Secret Realm had taken place under the watchful eyes of nearly two billion spectators during the Great Alchemy Gathering.
After that, they had also used their authority to investigate and confirmed that not a single Heavenly Flame remained in the realm.
In the eyes of Zhou Daoqi and the elders, Li Lingxi was just putting up a front.
Their disappointment in her grew even deeper.
The establishment of the Council of Elders was not something they were eager to create, nor was it a desire for power on Zhou Daoqi's part.
They simply found Li Lingxi's leadership too disappointing, and believed that the Divine Dan Sect needed reform.
This was a last resort.
At this point, there was no turning back.
This was the first time since Li Lingxi had become the sect master of the Divine Dan Sect that the high-ranking officials had openly negotiated like this.
As far as Li Lingxi was concerned, this was indeed a good thing.
Without any surprises, she knew that this would allow her to fully control the Divine Dan Sect.
Originally, she had thought that this would take much longer as there had been no good opportunities.
Even before, Li Lingxi had considered using Shuang Jiang's strength to forcibly suppress them through sheer force.
But now, Su Jingzhen had given her the perfect opportunity to do so.
Taking a deep breath, Li Lingxi nodded once more with a smile:
"With your oaths to the Heavenly Dao, I am reassured.
Since that is the case, let us go to the Flame Secret Realm and see for ourselves."
Strike while the iron is hot.
While these elders had just sworn their oaths and their emotions were running high, the shock would be maximized when they entered the Flame Secret Realm.
While swearing their oaths, Zhou Daoqi and the others had quietly tried to use their authority to probe the Flame Secret Realm, but they had failed.
It seemed that their authority had become ineffective.
The elders exchanged glances, their hearts filled with surprise.
Without hesitation, Li Lingxi waved her jade-like hand, and a swirling vortex channel appeared in the space before them.
On the other side of the channel, a wave of intense heat emanated.
"Come, let me show you whether I deceived you or not."
With that, Li Lingxi led Su Jingzhen and Little Ling into the channel first.
"Elder Zhou, this... the sect master seems to be very confident."
One of the elders beside Zhou Daoqi spoke with concern in his voice.
Zhou Daoqi also frowned: "I would rather she could fulfill her promise... Regardless, let's go in and see for ourselves."
Even though Li Lingxi's demeanor was somewhat unexpected, Zhou Daoqi and the others still found it hard to believe her.
As the grand elder, Zhou Daoqi had more interactions with Li Lingxi and knew that her personality was quite unpredictable. She often lacked the demeanor of a sect master and seemed more like a playful young girl.
So if Li Lingxi were to pull off something outrageous, it wouldn't be surprising.
While they were talking, the group of elders followed Zhou Daoqi and entered the Flame Secret Realm.
The realm was still very hot. After Su Jingzhen placed the replicated heavenly flames in their rightful positions, the realm had immediately returned to its peak state.
Moreover, these flames had been replicated by Little Green and imbued with a trace of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss's heavenly laws.
This made them more potent than before, with greater potential for growth.
In just the span of a single incense stick's time, the Flame Secret Realm had
indeed surpassed its former state.
"This... this is the Heavenly Flame Aura!
The sect master... did she really fulfill her promise?"
"I feel like this place is even stronger than before!"
"That's the Heart Flame, the Deep Sea Netherflame... everything is back just as it was before!"
"......"
Upon entering the Secret Flame Realm, the elders immediately spread it out with their powerful divine consciousness.
Over a hundred Heavenly Flames were instantly imprinted into their minds.
One by one, the elders froze in shock.
Many of them couldn't believe what they were sensing.
"Could this be an illusion created by the sect master using her Immortal King level power?"
"The flames that were lost and should have been forcibly fused by Su Jingzhen... how could they be perfectly intact here again?"
The elders muttered to themselves and personally approached the flames to test them.
It was not until they saw the thousand-foot vacuum zone and tried the power of these flames themselves that they realized they were still unable to collect them with their abilities.
They knew that even an Immortal King like Li Lingxi couldn't create such a realistic illusion.
Only then would they accept the truth.
Soon, the elders once again gathered in front of Li Lingxi and the others.
Their expressions were serious, but their eyes were sparkling with joy.
Led by Zhou Daoqi, they all knelt down in front of Li Lingxi.
This time, they were totally convinced.
Regardless of how Li Lingxi had done it, the fact that the Flame Secret Realm hadn't only not been damaged, but had even become stronger was enough.
"We will fulfill our vow to the Heavenly Dao!
Under the sect master's leadership, I believe the Divine Dan Sect will achieve even greater glory!"
Zhou Daoqi bowed his head.
When he stood up again, he and the other elders also bowed to Su Jingzhen.
They knew that this matter must be related to Su Jingzhen.
"All right, the doubts have been cleared up. You can all go about your business now.
The Divine Dan Sect needs to function, and it cannot do so without all of you.
However, I have one request: do not reveal anything about today to the outside world.
Let it be as if the Divine Dan Sect no longer has this secret realm.
Of course, I have already reimposed restrictions on the Flame Secret Realm.
You can't enter it without my permission.
In the future, if disciples who meet the requirements need to attempt to collect the Heavenly Flame, simply report to me, and I will not keep them for myself."
With that, Li Lingxi waved her hand at the crowd.
She didn't dwell on the topic of loyalty, as she was well aware that the moment these elders entered the Flame Secret Realm, the matter would be settled.
Li Lingxi had firmly grasped control of the Divine Dan Sect.
