As Lin Ming followed the many Elders to the Ancient Eon Sect Headquarters, the news that another Elder was joining the Elders Council quickly spread throughout the entire sect.
These people were all very curious; who was this new Elder and where did he come from?
However, they soon discovered that this new Elder was not a True Divinity level abyssal but a top Empyrean.
For a time, the entire Ancient Eon Sect became in an uproar.
It should be known that within the Ancient Eon Sect, an Elder had an extraordinary status. They had the authority to directly control the wealth of the sect, they could freely read the rare cultivation methods, and they could even comprehend the abyssal Laws and demon crystals left behind by Eon.
Such a privilege makes people envious!
In particular, when it came to comprehending the Laws left behind by Eon, there were simply too many disciples in the Ancient Eon Sect who wanted to do so. Therefore, it was almost impossible to get a chance to understand the Laws of Eon. According to the rules of the Ancient Eon Sect, only those who obtained great achievements and obtained sufficient sect points could exchange them for the opportunity to meditate on the Eon Laws.
But Elders were not bound by such restrictions. Even if they did not have contribution points, they could understand this Law whenever they wanted.
Many high-level characters in the Ancient Eon Sect dreamed of becoming Elders.
But there is one condition to becoming an Elder. That is ... one must be an abyssal of the True Divinity level.
The difference between an Abyssal Empyrean and an abyssal True Divinity was simply too great. For many Empyrean-level ravines, this was a trench that could not be crossed. Thus, their dream of becoming an Elder could only remain a dream.
But now that the upper Empyrean level abyssal had somehow miraculously become an Elder, and this newcomer would be shared some of the time allowed to understand the Eon Laws. How can anyone be convinced of this?
Suddenly, from the entire Ancient Eon Sect, both high and low, many disciples were unhappy.
Since the Council of Elders had yet to announce that the Book of Eon had been discovered, the disciples did not know why Lin Ming could become an Elder.
On almost the second day since Lin Ming entered the Ancient Eon Sect, many bottomless Empyrean level sects wanted to challenge him.
Compared to the humans of the 33 Heavens, the bottomless abyss preferred to go straight and find a solution to the problem through violence. This is a world where power is revered above all else, and if they do not like what they see, they will change it with their own power.
Within the Ancient Eon Sect, where would there be an Empyrean level bottomless abyss that dared to challenge an Elder?
But, the situation was different if that Elder was merely an upper Empyrean level bottomless pit.
If their strength was greater and their cultivation was higher, why could Lin Ming be an Elder but they could not?
This was the thought process of most of the abyss of the Empyrean level. Several Empyrean ravines had cultivated to the peak of the Empyrean realm, moreover, they were even outstanding existences amongst peak Empyreans. In the Ancient Eon Sect their status was only inferior to the Council of Elders.
They had been in the sect for many years and had always craved the position of Elder. Now, however, some outsiders had risen above their heads to become one, so these people were naturally unhappy with this event. These people all had a loud voice and great strength. Encouraged by them, the sound of dissatisfaction grew louder in the Ancient Eon Sect.
Now some of the peak Empyrean level abyss and upper Empyrean level abyss, and even the mid Empyrean level abyss, were required to challenge Lin Ming. Their momentum was simply too great and their demand reached the Council of Elders.
But the Council of Elders did nothing about this at all. They had no obligation to help Lin Ming in this matter, and when they saw this situation, some of them even laughed at him.
If one wanted to become an Elder with a top Empyrean cultivation, then they would naturally have to face the problems that followed.
If Lin Ming walked through the Ancient Eon Sect in the future, one could hope that there would be a higher abyss challenging him from all directions.
In fact, other than being able to examine some of the internal texts in the Ancient Eon Sect, Lin Ming's title as an Elder did not give him any true power or prestige.
However ... Lin Ming had no plans to walk through the Ancient Eon Sect to begin with, and he simply turned a blind eye to all of his challengers. As soon as he entered the Ancient Eon Sect, he went into seclusion and started seeing the Law crystals left behind by Eon.
This made many Empyrean level abyssals even more dissatisfied; they felt that Lin Ming was shy, afraid of them.
However, since Lin Ming was in seclusion, they naturally could not do anything against him. They become harder.
“Elder Eon God, about this matter regarding the Book of Eon, what do you plan to do? Are you really planning to allow this brat to take the book to the Demon God Tomb? ”
Inside the hall at the highest altitude of the Ancient Eon Sect, an Elder suddenly asked.
Each Elder of the Ancient Eon Sect had their own title, a title that started with ‘Eon’. But, there is only one who can be called this Elder Eon God – is the Great Elder of the Ancient Eon Sect.
The Ancient Eon Sect did not have a Sect Master. According to the tradition of the totem level influence, the Sect Master of the totem level influence was the abyss of the totem level itself.
Now that Eon had died, the Sect Master's seat had been empty for many years.
“This Ninth Elder is not even in the True Divinity realm. Even if he did not bring the Book of Eon with him, the chances of him surviving the Demon God Tomb were extremely small. And if he were to take the Book of Eon with him, he would definitely seek death!”
Said another Elder. The Ninth Elder he was referring to was Lin Ming.
When Lin Ming entered the Council of Elders, he was ranked ninth; this was also the last rank. He had no title and the Council of Elders did not even know his name and they could not bother to find out either.
Thus, they only called Lin Ming the Ninth Elder.
The upper Empyrean level Abyssal wanted to bring the ritual book into the Demon God Tomb. In this situation, any abyss that thought logically would believe that he would die without a doubt.
Another elder said, “We have obtained the Book of Eon after so many difficulties; we cannot lose it anymore.”
To the Ancient Eon Sect, the Book of Eon was a necessary object to stabilize the fate of their sect. If the Book of Eon was seized by someone after being taken to the Demon God Tomb, then no one would be comfortable with this.
Facing the questions of so many Elders, the Great Elder remained silent.
The Great Elder thought for a moment, then said, “Have you all thought about why the Ninth Elder wanted to bring the Book of Eon to the Demon God Tomb, what was his purpose?”
The words of the Great Elder caused the discussion to quickly slow down. Actually, they also thought of this question but they did not know why.
The Great Elder continued to say, “The Ninth Elder should know that with his own strength, it should be impossible for him to protect the Book of Eon from others. In this world there were always arrogant and haughty individuals in all generations, but there should not be anyone who was arrogant to such a degree. Instead, this would be foolish, and the Ninth Elder was not stupid at all. So he should have another goal in mind. ”
As the Great Elder finished speaking, The other Elder said, “No matter what the purpose is, it is not something good for us.”
“It's true. The Ninth Elder is not from our Ancient Eon Sect so it is impossible for him to do anything for our Ancient Eon Sect. He should have only used us for our asylum and could have given him a place to enter the Demon God Tomb safely, all of that so that he could gain his own advantage. So, I don't plan on letting him succeed.”.
The Great Elder slowly said. A cold light glimmered in his faint red eyes.
This old ravine was like a snake lying on the grass, sticking out its tongue and staring at its prey.
“Or, how about we just kill him now. Since the disciples who know this have been sealed by us, the matters concerning the Book of Eon will also be completely secret! If we kill him now and take the Book of Eon, this will be the best and simplest plan!”
A younger Elder said. His Unifying title was Eon Light and he was eighth among the Elders. He is the youngest of them but also has the greatest potential.
He has his own ambition. He even wanted to take the Book of Eon and bring it to the Demon God Tomb himself.
There was no rule in the cycle where the Demon God Tomb was opened. Sometimes the Demon God Tomb would open after several tens of millions of years, and sometimes it would not even open once in a billion years.
If he missed this opportunity, there was no guarantee that he would be able to bring the Book of Eon to the Demon God Tomb in the future.
The Great Elder faintly looked at Eon Light, a meaningful look in his eyes.
Eon Light stiffened and no longer spoke.
The Great Elder said, “The Book of Eon is connected to the influence of our totem level influence. This is not a rumor, but the truth. We cannot move against the Ninth Elder. Whether it's killing him himself or hiring someone to kill him, there's no choice we can make. But, while we cannot fight him in that way, we can still use some external conditions so that he cannot enter the Demon God Tomb.”
The Great Elder gently pressed down on the stone chair he was sitting on. He did not use any strength, just gently brushing it, she said, but that chair made of immortal god stone seemed to have weathered countless years as it turned into black dust and completely disappeared …
