Chapter 833: The Seal of the Chief
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Through this battle, Qin Wushuang had already sufficiently proved his strength, the responsibility he assumed onto himself, and the absolute loyalty and dependability he had for the Qin Clan along with his impassable passion.
In other words, when looking from all different aspects, Qin Wushuang already possessed the qualifications to inherit the position as the Head Chief of the Qin Clan. If one must say he lacked something, that would be his lack of maturity and experience.
After all, in the past, people that inherited the position of Head Chief were at least two to three hundred years old.
If everyone remembered correctly, Qin Wushuang seemed to be a little bit more than thirty years old. Not only did he set a new record for the Qin Clan, he even broke historical records of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. Even for the totem clans, it would be another story for someone at the age of thirty years old to achieve such an accomplishment.
The gaze of the Head Chief was unprecedentedly sharp as he cruised before each person’s eyes. It seemed as if he were trying to clearly understand the internal world of each person present.
“Head Chief, regarding Wushuang taking over the position as Head Chief, regardless of strength or contributions, there is no problem.” Qin Yunran was the first one to voice his opinion.
“Head Chief, when Wushuang takes over as Head Chief, what will you do?” Qin Chongyang cared more about Qin Xiaotian’s whereabouts. A mountain could not take in two tigers. If Qin Wushuang truly took over as Head Chief, it would be unavoidable for him to give out orders throughout the major matters in the Qin Clan. Or else, most likely it could trigger some chaos to the clan itself.
Qin Xiaotian let out a simple smile. “For my solitary training this time, it will take at least twenty or thirty years. When my injuries are healed, I will be a secluded Grand Elder. For matters regarding the sect, naturally you being the chiefs will make the decisions. Unless the sect is met with major matters, I will not go after it.”
He looked at Qin Wushuang and Qin Xiaotian laughed. “Wushuang, I am taking off my responsibilities, are you taking over? Can you let me have some down time?”
Qin Wushuang was feeling the difficulty of the situation. He never thought about becoming the Head Chief of the Qin Clan. In earlier years, he already said to Qin Yunran that he was not interested in becoming the leader of a sect.
His greatest pursuit lay with martial arts training.
However, as the Head Chief spoke for himself, and with the sect being in a moment of crisis, he would not push away this responsibility.
“Wushuang, the Head Chief is putting a lot of expectations on you, you must not turn your back on his high judgment.”
“Yes, Wushuang, a hero always comes from a youngster in the ancient times. An ambitious person would not be looked at with his age. Since the Head Chief views you highly, we are the same.”
When everyone saw the general trend was like this, they decided to declare their support to Qin Wushuang.
As Qin Wushuang heard everyone’s kind sentiments, a burst of hot blood flared inside his body. There was a good saying from the ancient people, be unwilling to pass responsibility to others.
Under such circumstances, how could Qin Wushuang say a single word of rejection?
Qin Xiaotian let out a roaring laugh and as he opened his palm, the Chief Seal fell into the center of his palm. Rolling with his palm, a burst of meteoric light supported the chief mark while he shouted, “Wushuang, take the seal!”
Qin Wushuang took it along the way and held this seal. The Chief Seal appeared with flowing lights and overflowing color, as it emitted a burst of soul stirring power, it made Qin Wushuang feel his heart and soul gallop along. Vividly, it seemed a voice was spurring him to make him understand the weight of this seal and it caused him to have a grand feeling of importance.
Through self reflection, even if tens of millions of warriors stood before him, he felt like he could march forward and never shrink back.
Two lifetimes of passion, two lifetimes lived stimulated Qin Wushuang’s passion as a man at this moment. A form of grand aspiration and a great sentimental feeling of assuming responsibility ascended in his heart.
With the sudden emergence of heroic spirit, he nodded. “I shall take the seal!”
Qin Xiaotian said with a clear voice, “While the ancestors of the Qin Clan stand in heaven, I pass the Chief Seal to Qin Wushuang today. I hope all generations of ancestors bless the Qin Clan and bless Wushuang to lead the Qin Clan to rebuild our glory and to make a comeback!”
“May the ancestors bless us!” All people at the scene said together with a solemn and respectful expression.
“Alright, Yunran, for the exact ceremony, you will be in charge of arranging it. I will not be stepping out. Yunran, Chongyan, you are still Second and Third Chiefs, you must not feel laziness or jealousy. Zhi Huai, Zhi Song, Zhi Bo, Zhi Tong, and also Taichong, you are all new Supreme Dao warriors and trusted aides of the Qin Clan. Especially Taichong, you are the person of outstanding talent among the younger generation. Besides the three great chiefs, you five will be promoted to be the young chiefs in the Qin Clan to assist the three great chiefs restore the foundation of the Qin Clan!”
“Yes!”
Although they were young chiefs, after all, they were still chiefs. They were well aware that in terms of strength and experiences, indeed they could not be matched on par with the three great chiefs. It was rather reasonable when they were promoted to be young chiefs.
Regardless, they were one level up compared to the previous Honored Warriors position. Their position and Supreme Dao strength were given prominence. Therefore, each person agreed cheerfully and nodded with thanks.
“Wushuang, after taking over as Head Chief, I believe that you are well aware of what it means, right?” Qin Xiaotian asked with an encouraging tone.
Of course, Qin Wushuang understood. There could be some expressions of opinion if he were to speak about it. However, he was unwilling to speak some high-sounding words. As the situation of the Qin Clan was placed before him, in terms of how to lead the Qin Clan out of crisis, how to seize the Heavenly Emperor position, this would be the challenging mission this new chief would be facing soon.
Upon seeing Qin Wushuang understand tacitly, it was inappropriate for Qin Xiaotian to say anything further. He asked with a laugh, “Alright, are there any urgent matters since all of you came here?”
Now, Qin Yunran and the others remembered and immediately said, “Head Chief, so...”
After hearing Qin Yunran explaining the situation, the expression on Qin Xiaotian’s face became incredibly marvelous. As if admiring a perfect piece of art, he examined Qin Wushuang closely and kept chuckling. “Wushuang, I don’t even know how to describe you. Ha ha, the gods have truly blessed us and rewarding us for upholding the creed for carrying justice for the heavens.”
This world was like this. If there were things that could not be explained, they could all be credited to heavenly fate.
Qin Xiaotian was well aware of the meaning of having all five attributes. Naturally, he was endlessly in awe. “Wushuang, it seems to be the most appropriate thing to pass the Head Chief position to you.”
“As for those mountain protecting spiritual ley lines, there are a dozen of them across the formation. One loop connects the other, to repair it, you need great divine skill. In the past, the ancestors of the Qin Clan gathered five Supreme Dao with the five different attributes to be capable of establishing the spiritual ley lines. Now, although they were cut off by the Nirvana Heavenly Plow, they were not utterly destroyed. Although it would take a great amount of work to repair a gap, it’s not completely impossible. If it completely collapsed, unless you have the strength at the Peak of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage, it would be difficult to establish it again.”
Qin Xiaotian’s words gave Qin Wushuang and the others enormous confidence. Clearly, the underground ley lines of the Qin Clan did not collapse completely. The attack power from the Nirvana Heavenly Plow was not enough to cause an utter collapse to the spiritual ley lines. It only made openings through the lines.
Qin Wushuang listened attentively. He knew that the reparation of the ley lines was related to the survival of the Qin Clan. With the spiritual ley lines, the formation could be activated. Without something as monstrous as the Nirvana Heavenly Plow, it would be difficult to cut them open again, unless those totem paramount elite warriors came.
In that case, they would not need any form of cutting weapons. Paramount elite warriors could easily destroy these ley line structures with just ordinary Supreme Dao weapon.
Qin Wushuang thought, “My Mustard Cave Dwelling is not yet enough for me to cast an incantation. Or else, I can put it at the Upright Morality Hall, even if the ley lines were destroyed. With this cave dwelling as a barrier, even those at the Peak of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage could not break it.”
Before Qin Wushuang entered the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage, he never planned to try the Mustard Cave Dwelling. He would not able to unleash much effect to open the Mustard Cave Dwelling now.
Qin Wushuang knew that currently, the most crucial matter was to restore the order of the underground spiritual ley lines. He must connect the ley lines and pull them back to their normal orbit.
“Wushuang, to connect the spiritual ley lines, the Qin Clan has a secret book and only the Head Chief is allowed to have it. You can find it inside the Chief Seal.”
The Chief Seal was a storage space. It had different equipment and the essential keepsakes for the Chief that included a repository of items of cultural significance and all the treasures and secrets of the clan.
“After you go, think about it and you will know what to do. Without three or five months of work, I am afraid you will not finish repairing it. Strive for time.”
Qin Xiaotian’s words penetrated the fog and allowed everyone in the Qin Clan to see what was important.
As soon as the news of Qin Wushuang taking over as Head Chief was announced, instantly it caused a huge ruckus across the Qin Clan. At this moment, naturally no one from the clan would feel Qin Wushuang was unqualified without discretio.
Whether Qin Wushuang was qualified or not, the glorious achievement he demonstrated was enough to explain everything.
When the crisis that haunted the Qin Clan for a dozen years was solved in a day, didn’t they rely on Qin Wushuang?
Currently, with Qin Xiaotian’s divine soul suffering severe injuries and with the Qin Clan lacking a backbone, to ordinary disciples of the Qin Clan, Qin Wushuang taking over was rather inspiring news.
They worshiped him much more than Qin Yunran and the other higher-ups. They were superstitious about heroes and would admire them with indescribable words. In a world where the strong ones hold the most respect, such a form of worship would not appear the slightest bit strange.
The ceremony to take over was extremely grand and dignified. Qin Yunran and Qin Chongyang arranged it together. Clearly, there was a focus as they were in such urgency to plan this ceremony.
The Qin Clan was hit by the Heavenly Emperor party for a dozen years, and their sense of morale and the will to fight fell to the bottom. Now, with the new Head Chief, with new and fresh blood exchanged, by using Qin Wushuang’s glorious spirit of returning in triumph, they would pull up the morale of the Qin Clan by aggravating the situation.
It could be said that this ceremony was to improve the morale and to improve the cohesiveness of the Qin Clan. At the same time, it would also let Qin Wushuang receive the widest support and worship.
Being the leader of a sect, Qin Wushuang needed such unconditional worship. Only by letting the subordinates worship you and admire you unconditionally, it would allow a person to rule the Qin Clan and support everyone to be their best. He could be capable of controlling the authority and rule the giant ship of the Qin Clan perfectly in hands.
During this ceremony, in between his every move, Qin Wushuang also demonstrated a sufficient temperament as grandmaster.
Currently, in terms of strength, reputation, and prestige, he would not feel qualms to be the number one at the Qin Clan. It would also be everyone’s expectation for him to take over as the Head Chief!
