Three days later.
"Hurry up, hurry up! Master is calling us. He says there's something important to announce. We can't be late."
One by one, the disciples of Mount Hua hurried towards Luoyan Peak.
This is because Yue Buqun ordered all his disciples to gather at Luoyan Peak today.
Luoyan Peak.
At this moment, Yue Buqun, Ning Zhongze, Jiang Ning, Linghu Chong, Feng Buping, and Cheng Buyou, who had recovered from his injuries, were standing on the field.
Besides them, all the other Huashan disciples also arrived, including those who were recruited last time, totaling more than a hundred people.
"Master, everyone from the Huashan Sect has arrived."
Linghu Chong whispered to Yue Buqun.
"Ah."
Yue Buqun nodded, looked at everyone, paused, and then spoke.
"I have gathered you here today to announce something."
Everyone held their breath and listened intently to Yue Buqun's words.
"I have decided to make Jiang Ning my successor, to succeed me as the next head of the Huashan Sect."
When Yue Buqun said this, everyone was in an uproar and looked at each other in bewilderment.
They never expected Yue Buqun to announce the successor so soon; they had thought it would be a long time before he did.
In fact, they had long guessed that Jiang Ning would be the next sect leader, since Jiang Ning was the most outstanding member of the Huashan Sect at present.
However, all the Huashan disciples were very happy and had no objections. Lu Dayou was especially overjoyed.
If Yue Buqun hadn't been present, Lu Dayou would have already offered his congratulations to Jiang Ning.
"In addition to that, I have something else to announce."
Yue Buqun continued.
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly focused their attention and listened attentively.
"Previously, at Ning'er's request, I promised that I would teach you the Zixia Divine Skill once you achieved mastery of internal strength. Now, as long as you meet the standard, I will pass on the complete Zixia Divine Skill manual to you later."
Chapter 477: Coming of Age (Bonus Chapter 2/2 for Lin Feng, who likes Lung Gold Grass)
Of course!
The news about Yue Buqun surprised everyone even more than before.
"Master is actually going to pass on the Zixia Divine Skill to us?"
Although Yue Buqun had promised to pass on the Zixia Manual to them, everyone thought it wouldn't happen so soon, but unexpectedly, he gave them a pleasant surprise today.
But what surprised them even more was that Jiang Ning had actually asked for this on their behalf.
Everyone was excited.
The Zixia Divine Skill is the most important of the nine skills of Mount Hua. In the past, the Zixia Divine Skill was the treasure of the Mount Hua Sect and could only be practiced by the sect leader. Not to mention the Zixia Divine Skill, even the Hunyuan Skill was not something many people had the opportunity to practice. They all practiced the basic skills of Mount Hua.
Previously, Yue Buqun not only gave them the Hunyuan Gong, but now he has actually distributed the Zixia Divine Gong to them, giving them the opportunity to practice it, which makes them extremely excited.
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Young Master!"
Lu Dayou was the first to shout it out.
The other disciples, having regained their senses, chimed in.
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Young Master."
Their name for Jiangning has also changed.
Yue Buqun nodded in approval upon seeing their attitude.
"Ning'er, why don't you say a few words?"
Upon hearing Yue Buqun's words, Jiang Ning nodded and stepped in front of the crowd.
Everyone stopped their commotion and looked at him.
Jiang Ning glanced at his fellow disciples, then at Yue Buqun, Ning Zhongze, Linghu Chong, and the others.
Everyone was looking at him.
Jiang Ning withdrew his gaze and looked at the crowd.
After a while.
"The Qi of the heavens is vast and boundless, and my Dao flourishes day by day."
Everyone was surprised, not expecting Jiang Ning to only say these few words.
After a while.
"The Qi of the heavens is vast and boundless, and my Dao flourishes daily!"
The disciples of Mount Hua shouted loudly.
"The Qi of the heavens is vast and boundless, and my Dao flourishes daily!"
Yue Buqun smiled as he looked at Jiang Ning standing in front of the crowd.
"Senior brother, I believe Ning'er can lead the Huashan Sect to its peak."
Ning Zhongze said from the side.
Yue Buqun smiled but remained silent.
He never doubted it.
Feng Buping and Cheng Buyou looked at each other in silence.
In their opinion, Jiang Ning was indeed outstanding, and his martial arts skills far surpassed theirs. They had no objection to Jiang Ning being their successor.
After everyone had rested, Ning Zhongze stepped forward to announce something.
"There is one more thing today, which concerns Linghu Chong."
As soon as Ning Zhongze spoke, everyone turned to look at Linghu Chong.
Linghu Chong's expression remained unchanged, but his hands unconsciously clenched slightly.
He already knew it.
"Chong'er and Ling Shan have been childhood sweethearts and have a very strong bond. After discussing it with your master, we have decided to betroth Ling Shan to Chong'er and we will choose a date for their wedding."
As soon as Ning Zhongze said this, everyone cheered.
They all knew that Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan were deeply in love, and now that they saw the two were finally about to get married, they couldn't help but be happy for them.
Yue Lingshan's face was as red as an apple at this moment.
Having essentially finished explaining everything, Yue Buqun waved his hand, indicating that everyone could disperse.
"Ning'er, come with me."
Before Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze left, Yue Buqun said something to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning followed.
After Yue Buqun left, the crowd erupted in even louder cheers, surrounding Linghu Chong.
"Senior Brother, congratulations!"
"Senior Brother, when are you going to invite us to your wedding?"
"Elder brother..."
"Elder brother..."
The crowd surrounded Linghu Chong, and their chatter left him completely bewildered.
"Alright, alright, alright!"
Linghu Chong shouted, which finally made his junior brothers stop. However, they still wouldn't let him leave until Linghu Chong repeatedly said that he would definitely treat everyone to a wedding feast before they finally left.
After Linghu Chong left, the others also prepared to leave, but before leaving, they all glanced at Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao was Jiang Ning's first disciple and the first disciple of the third generation. He was favored by Yue Buqun and was said to have great talent. He was sure to receive Jiang Ning's true teachings in the future. If there were no accidents, he would be the next leader of the Huashan Sect after Jiang Ning.
Everyone looked at the nine-year-old child and envied his fate.
"Junior brother, let's go practice our skills."
One of the children spoke to Liu Zhao, and there were other children around.
They are still young and don't understand what Liu Zhao's identity means, so they act as usual.
Liu Zhao remained quiet until he heard the child's words.
"Yes, Uncle-Master."
……
Jiang Ning followed Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze back to the Suoyoubuwei Pavilion. Ning Zhongze then went inside, and Yue Buqun led him to the main hall.
"Ning'er, from this day forward you are twenty years old."
As Yue Buqun spoke, he picked something up from the table.
"At twenty, we martial arts practitioners don't hold those coming-of-age ceremonies, but I'll personally put the crown on you."
Yue Buqun was holding a crown.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Ning knelt down, and Yue Buqun personally combed his hair again and put a crown on him.
"Okay, get up."
Yue Buqun laughed.
Jiang Ning stood up.
At this moment, Ning Zhongze also came out of the inner room, holding something in her hand.
"Ning'er, today is your birthday. This is a birthday gift from your master's wife."
Jiang Ning looked and saw that Ning Zhongze was holding a jade buckle.
"This safety amulet was specially found for you by your master's wife, in the hope that it will keep you safe."
Yue Buqun said from the side.
Jiang Ning accepted the safety buckle and bowed to Ning Zhongze. "Thank you, Master's wife."
Ning Zhong smiled.
"Alright, after today, your fellow disciples will all know that you will succeed as the head of the Huashan Sect."
Yue Buqun then said, "You must be careful in your actions from now on and not act rashly. You must remember that there is still a Huashan Sect waiting for you to inherit it."
Jiang Ning nodded.
"The disciple understands."
He actually understood Yue Buqun's intentions to some extent.
Yue Buqun was worried that after he went down the mountain, he would become reckless and only care about killing people, which would put him in danger again. Therefore, he entrusted him with the responsibility of the Huashan Sect.
"Alright, there's nothing else for me here. You can go back now."
Yue Buqun waved his hand, and Jiang Ning responded and left.
Stepping out of the Pavilion of Unwavering Destiny, Jiang Ning examined the safety buckle in his hand. The jade was flawless and clearly of considerable value.
Jiang Ning wore it close to his body and then returned to his residence.
However, after Jiang Ning returned to his residence, he found someone standing at the door, as if waiting for someone.
"Senior Sister Du?"
Jiang Ning was surprised, not understanding why Du Lanyin was here.
"Junior Brother Jiang Ning."
