Divine Son Reincarnated With A Domination System

Chapter 370: One more participant?

Tang Yin was surprised by this turn of events. Without knowing how he got involved in this, he now carried the most important token of the sect in his hands.

Still, when he looked at Mu Taishi's back, he understood what was going on.

His lonely back...

It no longer looked as heavy as before.

It was as if he had finally gotten rid of the troubles that weighed him down.

The protectors could also see this, and it was more obvious to them, for they had known Mu Taishi for many years.

For this, they could only sigh.

'...He never wanted to be the sect master because he knows that his attitude does not go according to the title, if it were not for the sudden death of the former master, he would not have risen to the position. In the end, he had to get his freedom at some point.' They thought and didn't look at him anymore.

They went and stood beside Tang Yin to protect him, while Mu Taishi and Elder Ding stood by the stairs.

Right now, neither of them had status, but one status was at stake while the other was secured.

If Mu Taishi stepped on the stairs, he would not be able to leave unless they finished the trials because the ancestors would see him as an embarrassment to the sect.

How is it possible that they had to invoke the patriarch's mechanism when the previous one was still alive?

The spiritual pressure will then be several times greater than it should be, and that will prevent him from rising again. His status as a sect master was going to disappear from one moment to the next, a day when he did not expect it to be like this.

On the other hand, Elder Ding had never set foot on this mechanism before, so this would be his first time. All first times are simple, even more so for a Spiritual Supreme like him, so he was in no danger.

And if for some reason, he should lose in these trials, nothing would happen.

He is still a Leader among the Elders and will not cease to be unless he dies or the sect master takes away his token. Even then, would it be taken away? He is a Spiritual Supreme, and right now, the sect requires Spiritual Supremes, so there was no way he would lose his status.

Still, the one who looked calmer between the two was Mu Taishi.

'Well, for the sake of the lady, I'm going to give it my best.' Mu Taishi thought smiling, even though he knew that getting to the top would be extremely difficult.

When they both got there, one of the protectors sighed and stepped forward along with the other Lead Elders.

Although two of them supported Mu Taishi, he was no longer in the position he should be, and it was their own decision. Therefore, they simply decided to look ahead and announce the beginning of these tests so important to the sect, but which were conducted strangely.

"The Patriarch's Mechanism has been invoked and with this, the sect will once again be illuminated with the intense red color of the spiritual rays that surround us.

A Lightning Master will come out of this small ceremony and guide us to absolute prosperity; therefore, this area will be sealed for the duration of the trials." Said the protector and immediately launched a large spiritual array upward.

That array connected with various matrices that were on the ground that glowed at that instant, and a great spiritual array was formed from side to side.

The other protector standing beside Tang Yin also released his own spiritual array, and soon another large spiritual array was formed, connecting with the previous one.

Just then, both protectors clapped their hands loudly, and the Lead Elder tokens came together to form an extremely large barrier that was arranged side by side at this place.

So, a few seconds later, this place was isolated from the outside.

Even Tang Yin was surprised to see this.

'Divine Barriers? Shit, certainly this sect has some really good stuff inside.' Tang Yin thought in surprise having recognized the kind of barriers that were hidden in those tokens.

"I won't say much more. The Lightning Patriarch's Throne is available and no longer has an owner, awaiting its new Master. Since you already know the rules, I need not say them. You may begin." Said the protector.

He, as protector, his only duty is to protect the sect and the sect master for the duration of his growth. Then, he will have to protect the next master or the chosen successor so that he can grow.

Therefore, once Mu Taishi left his position as sect master, there was nothing they could do.

They simply stepped aside, allowing both to face each other.

It was the same for both of them.

Their affection was with Mu Taishi and both wanted him to be the sect master again. They watched him grow and become strong. They have been able to see what he has done for the sect all this time, but if he decided to do these tests, there is nothing they can do.

They must be impartial in this.

After all, they couldn't stop him. Even if Shi Yue came here, she couldn't stop this.

Today would define the next sect master.

Mu Taishi said nothing, but Elder Ding had something to say.

Therefore, he looked at Tang Yin.

"Prove yourself worthy of winning battles in so few moves and climb some steps. You only need to climb 3 of them and I won't make your life miserable once I reach the top." He said coldly.

Tang Yin shrugged at this.

"Do you see yourself as the winner? It's a pity I don't see you that way, you're not destined to sit on that throne ever. Still, I'm curious about these stairs, so I'll take the opportunity." He replied, and after giving the patriarch's token to the protector, he stood next to the two Spiritual Supremes.

Many were in shock at this, but since it was Elder Ding's idea, no one said anything.

If Tang Yin could climb up to step 3 with his current cultivation, he would certainly prove that he is the future of the sect. So, it would not be wrong to give him as the winner in this hall battle.

At the end of the day, once Elder Ding reaches the top, all the rewards would end up being from his Great Hall, even if they ended up losing.

Once Tang Yin arrived at the side of them, none of them uttered a word and stepped on the first step...
