Chapter 776: The Nation and Its Destiny, Rise and Fall Begin with Me!
On the journey, after transferring through the teleportation array and flying at full speed with his nascent soul stage capabilities, the gate of the Yuan Yang Sect was in sight in just about three hours.
Liu Yu summoned the elders of the sect and personally issued various orders to maintain the stability of the sect.
With him becoming the only ancestor, the influence of the Qingyang faction also surged.
Directly bypassing centuries of accumulation, they jumped to be on par with the three major factions, even clearly surpassing one, gradually becoming the new core.
When one person achieves the Dao, even the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!
Now, within the sect, Liu Yu's trusted aides held the reins of power firmly, while the three major factions were also very tactful in relinquishing key positions.
Under such circumstances, the overall stability of the sect was naturally ensured.
Within the classical and solemn main hall, a cultivator dressed in a black robe sat casually on the high seat behind the eighteen steps, slowly speaking about something.
His calm and dignified voice echoed throughout the hall.
Below him, a dozen Golden Core Elders stood with their hands at their sides, quietly listening to the commands and teachings of the ancestor.
"If there is nothing else, you may leave."
Once everything was arranged, Liu Yu waved his hand casually.
With the justification of upholding righteousness and possessing the strongest power, every class had his trusted aides from the Qingyang faction.
Although his time in control of the sect was still short, as long as he made proper arrangements, leaving for several decades wouldn't cause any chaos, and he believed there wouldn't be any melodramatic scenes.
"Yes, we take our leave, Master."
Bowing respectfully, the group of Golden Core Elders accepted the command and slowly exited the hall.
After leaving the hall, most of the elders gathered around Jiang Qiushui and Yan Qun'er, trying to probe the ancestor's thoughts on whether there were signs of "restructuring the sect."
In contrast, the former prominent figures of the three factions now had only one or two elders accompanying them, appearing isolated and giving off a sense of "the momentum has passed."
Once the "First Elder," Master Changfeng, was also among them.
However, the impact of his failed pregnancy had been too great; compared to his former spirited self, he now seemed to blend into the crowd, his influence greatly diminished.
Since a year ago, when Yan Qun'er became the ancestor's concubine, and following the grand ceremony of taking in concubines, the core of the family faction gradually shifted.
Within the family faction, Yan Qun'er’s speaking rights greatly increased, while Master Changfeng's influence further weakened.
If one carefully identified the elders surrounding the two women, the differences were not hard to discern.
Those clustered around Yan Qun'er were mostly elders from the family faction; those around Jiang Qiushui were primarily elders from the other courtyard faction.
After Liu Yu took over the sect, the open and covert struggles between factions would naturally continue.
As long as the internal strife was not too severe, he was disinclined to expend energy dealing with it.
As long as the sect was still under human control, internal conflicts would never cease; this was an unchanging law throughout the ages.
Even if the three factions were now eradicated, new factions would inevitably emerge to continue the struggles both overt and covert.
Currently eliminating the family faction might later turn into the "Yan Family faction," and eradicating the other courtyard faction might transform into the "Qiushui faction."
In the end, it would revert to a direct struggle between Yan Qun'er and Jiang Qiushui.
Struggles, never ceasing!
Just like the majority of the immortal cultivation resources being monopolized by the Yuan Nation, even if another sect were to take over, the oppression and exploitation of the lower levels of the cultivation world would not stop.
