Chapter 210: 111 Name of Falling Clouds_2
Among the few at the gathering who knew the identity of Grandmaster Gong Buyu, the Black Tortoise Esteemed Emissary was undeterred by whether he would receive an accurate response. Merely this attitude was enough to dispel any potential dissatisfaction from the Supreme Taoist.
If they could establish a relationship with the Supreme Taoist through the Cultivation Conference, even Emperor Xia would be overjoyed.
While various thoughts were swirling among the attendees, Gong Buyu, who was brought to the forefront, frowned slightly and said coldly:
“You handle the matters of the Cultivation Conference yourselves. It has nothing to do with me.”
Her words had barely left her mouth when, before the Black Tortoise Esteemed Emissary could utter a word, the minor sects in and around Primal Chaos Tower voiced their opinions.
“We request that the immortal supervise the Cultivation Conference to ensure justice for us!”
“The major sects and the Imperial Astronomical Bureau have secret collusions. I have no confidence in these men from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau. I hope the immortal can maintain fairness for us!”
“With a single battle, the immortal has silenced the major sects and the Imperial Astronomical Bureau’s Esteemed Emissary. Who dares to defy?
“There is no better choice than the immortal.”
…
The ones who truly needed the Cultivation Conference to speak out were essentially the minor sects whose grotto-heavens sacred grounds had collapsed and their lineages lost.
For these minor sects, they don’t care about the power struggles of the upper echelons. What they need is a guarantee of fairness for their own rights and interests.
Gong Buyu emerged, defeating all the prodigies from the major sects. With the deep and inscrutable power of her master behind her, she doesn’t need to sell face to the various forces.
In their opinion, if Gong Buyu supervised the Cultivation Conference, they would certainly achieve the fairness they desire.
In addition, the Cultivation Conference originally determined the outcome based on cultivation capability. All cultivators would naturally think that the person supervising the Cultivation Conference should be the strongest among all cultivators.
With all these factors combined, Gong Buyu naturally became the best candidate.
Amid the chorus of support from the sects in Primal Chaos Tower, the Black Tortoise Esteemed Emissary once again took a step forward and humbly said:
“If the immortal does not wish to be troubled by mundane affairs, we from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau can take over all the various matters. The immortal just needs to ensure whether the sects’ debate is fair.
Although the Cultivation Conference cannot be considered a major event, it has some influence in the sect world. If the immortal sits at the Cultivation Conference, her name will surely become famous throughout the world. By then, the name of the immortal’s sect will inevitably be spread throughout Great Xia.”
Gong Buyu was indifferent to the issue of supervising the sect debates. However, the Black Tortoise Esteemed Emissary’s final remark about propagating the sect’s reputation did resonate with her.
In her cognition, Falling Clouds Sect should be a great sect that shocks the world. Even the 10 Great Grotto Heavens would have to bow their heads before Falling Clouds Sect.
However, thousands of years later, Falling Clouds Sect lost its reputation for cultivation. Even cultivators no longer know the name of Falling Clouds Sect.
Shen Yuan, the Supreme Taoist, can dismiss this matter, but Gong Buyu cannot tolerate this result.
If she could take this opportunity to spread the name of Falling Clouds Sect and let the world witness the return of Falling Clouds Sect, it would undoubtedly be a good thing.
With this thought, Gong Buyu turned to the Darkness-Light Sword, saluting it, and said softly:
“The sect’s reputation has been lost for tens of thousands of years, and the world no longer knows the name of our sect.
I wish to seize this opportunity to rejuvenate our sect’s reputation. I ask for my master’s permission!”
In Primal Chaos Tower, Shen Yuan’s eyes moved slightly when he heard Gong Buyu’s words.
The previous Sect Master attempted to lead the entire sect to ascend but was punished by the heavenly tribulation. As a result, the name of Falling Clouds Sect was completely erased along with every one of its members.
This incident is not known to outsiders, but Shen Yuan has always been cautious about the name of Falling Clouds Sect, fearing that the hasty dissemination of the name of Falling Clouds Sect might touch upon some taboo matters.
But as time went on, Shen Yuan gradually realized that the traces of Falling Clouds Sect staying in this world were not completely erased. At least the numerous legends about the fabricated Supreme Taoist are still circulating today.
With the gradual return of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge, more and more old creatures will wake up from their long sleep, including some powerful beings who have experienced Falling Clouds Sect like Gong Buhuo.
For them, recognizing the existence of the Falling Clouds Sect is almost inevitable.
By that time, any concealment will be meaningless.
“Rather than waiting for the climax to occur when it’s impossible to keep it a secret anymore, it might be better to let the name of Falling Clouds Sect spread in a small area ahead of time to observe whether it will cause some unknown effects.
The current Cultivation Conference, is a perfect pilot dip.
If spreading even at the Cultivation Conference creates an adverse effect, force can be used to seal it forcefully. It’s not a big deal to suppress just the Primal Chaos Tower area.
If there is no impact, letting it spread would not cause any harm.”
Upon this thought, Shen Yuan in Primal Chaos Tower slowly said:
“Granted!”
A touch of joy spread across Gong Buyu’s cold face. She turned to the Black Tortoise Esteemed Emissary.
“I don’t care what your original intention was for the Cultivation Conference organized by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau. As long as it is overseen by me, the fairness of the conference must be ensured!”
The Black Tortoise Esteemed Emissary immediately beamed when he heard this, understanding that Gong Buyu had accepted his request.
“Please rest assured, immortal. We, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, will definitely uphold justice. Whoever they are, they will not be able to influence the results of the Cultivation Conference!”
Gong Buyu nodded, her chilly voice echoing above the river.
“I, Gong Buyu of the Falling Clouds Sect, am designated by my master to supervise the Cultivation Conference.
