"Go back and make the corrections immediately."
As soon as the words fell, Yan Kai immediately bowed and admitted his mistake, his attitude extremely earnest.
However, although he didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction verbally, deep down he was secretly cursing.
Wasn't it because he was uncertain how the current ancestor viewed the previous ancestor that he felt compelled to depict the truth so neutrally?
After all, the writing of the biography of Heavenly Wind Ancestor was no small matter for the sect.
If the portrayal was too glorious and magnificent, it might cause discontent from the current ancestor, leading to a bleak future.
Conversely, if the depiction was too "ordinary," it could also invite dissatisfaction from various parties.
In short, no matter how he approached it, there were inherent risks, and a misstep could jeopardize his future within the sect.
Yan Kai had also risen from the bottom, so he naturally wouldn't rush to make a show of himself in such matters.
Thus, he chose the most prudent method—neither beautifying nor vilifying, aiming for no praise but also no blame.
"This kid is getting more and more shrewd."
In the Heavenly Peak cave dwelling, Liu Yu sat upright in the Grand Scholar Chair, watching Yan Kai with a smile that was not quite a smile, making the latter feel quite uneasy.
However, the task of writing "Tianfeng Chronicles" was indeed not easy for a golden core junior, especially since the fundamental tone of the work could only be determined by him, the current ancestor.
Lifting his teacup, he took a small sip of spiritual tea, contemplating for a moment before saying:
"Precisely because Heavenly Wind Ancestor has protected the sect for hundreds of years, we juniors can have a stable environment for cultivation."
"This immense contribution must not be tarnished."
"Therefore, regarding the negative records and rumors, they should all be erased."
"Remember, the Heavenly Wind Senior described in 'Tianfeng Chronicles' must be portrayed as upright, dignified, and magnificent on the basis of being as true as possible."
"This biography must maintain a positive tone to guide the disciples in loyalty to the sect and diligent cultivation."
His calm voice resonated throughout the large cave dwelling, setting the tone for how to write "Tianfeng Chronicles."
As a legitimate successor, both sides had a very pleasant interaction, so Liu Yu naturally wouldn't slander Heavenly Wind for no reason.
Acknowledging the "correctness" of the sect under Heavenly Wind's rule over the past hundreds of years was essential for him to justify his own succession of the sect's "laws."
He understood the stakes clearly.
"Understood!"
Yan Kai immediately replied, showing that he understood.
With this, the biggest problem was resolved, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Remember, Heavenly Wind Senior belongs first and foremost to the sect."
"As for other details, you may consider ignoring them as appropriate."
"Dismissed."
After a pause, Liu Yu added with deep meaning, then waved his hand to let him leave.
If the issue of Heavenly Wind's origins wasn't resolved, the biggest flaw would always be impossible to ignore.
After all, the current cultivation world still placed great importance on "clan righteousness."
With family support, the path of cultivating immortality is much smoother than that of a loose cultivator; the same efforts are more likely to achieve results, and indeed, there are many outstanding individuals among family cultivators.
Whether in Tian Nan or the Central Domain, the number of high-level cultivators from clans far exceeds those of loose cultivators.
Even within the Yuan Yang Sect, the family lineage subtly overshadowed the other two lineages, showing the influence of clans.
No matter how magnificent the description is, watching one's family perish helplessly is something many cultivators find hard to understand—this is an indelible stain.
Therefore, to avoid leaving any flaws, the issue of Heavenly Wind Ancestor's origins must be resolved.
