Chapter 1050 - 1050 56 Reboot

Chapter 1050: Chapter 56: Reboot Chapter 1050: Chapter 56: Reboot “Thirty-six votes…”

At this moment, both Fei Hua and Xi Kui’s faces showed surprise.

Du Wei also looked at the slip of paper in front of Fei Hua in shock, then couldn’t help but turn to Wang Ba.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

“Aside from me and Qi Yan, someone else voted for Wang Ba?!”

“And so many!”

He had merely used Wang Ba as an example; he never anticipated that Fei Hua would actually promote him as a candidate for the Vice Hall Master of Earth Hall.

He thought that after a junior like Wang Ba stood for election, hardly anyone would vote for him, so out of guilt, he cast a vote for Wang Ba.

However, what he never could have imagined was that the outcome would be so dramatic.

...

Wang Ba actually won by a narrow margin of one vote, surpassing Ma Shengxu, who originally had the highest popular support.

“First place…

Could it be that this kid, Wang Ba, is going to break the sect’s historical records today and become the Vice Hall Master of Earth Hall with a Golden Core realm?”

Such a thought involuntarily arose in Du Wei’s mind.

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t that be too frivolous?”

Although he greatly admired Wang Ba,

when it came to matters of importance, the selection of the Vice Hall Master of Earth Hall was a serious affair, not child’s play.

Whether in terms of seniority or cultivation base, Wang Ba was far from meeting the standards of a vice hall master.

If Wang Ba had already been a Nascent Soul cultivator, even at the early stage, he would have supported him wholeheartedly; but now, he would oppose without hesitation.

This was not only being responsible to the sect but also to Wang Ba.

At this moment, Xun FuJun, who was sitting cross-legged on the high platform, also looked at Wang Ba.

Yet his expression was inscrutable, leaving no one able to discern his thoughts at this moment.

At that time, Fei Hua also regained his composure, concealing his surprise.

He then said gravely,

“As previously stated, the Sect Master may choose the appropriate candidate between Ma Shengxu, Minister of the Spirit Plant Department, and Wang Ba, Right Enforcer of Diwu Hall.”

Voting was but a preliminary selection; the final decision still lay with Xun FuJun.

However, Xun FuJun did not speak; his fingertips tapped lightly on his knee, seemingly deep in thought.

The entire great hall suddenly fell into an unusual silence.

Everyone looked at Xun FuJun,

Waiting to see how he would resolve the current dilemma.

Would he decide based on the vote count, or would he stick to the old traditions?

If the former, he would have to choose Wang Ba, who had come out of nowhere to become vice hall master—a choice he may not desire.

If the latter, it would directly negate the approach he himself had recommended for Zhou Tianqi.

Whichever choice he made, it would undoubtedly diminish his authority as the acting sect master.

Of course, some people looked at Wang Ba with envy.

Aiming for the position of vice hall master with the cultivation base of a Golden Core, whether he succeeded or not, it demonstrated his exceptional potential.

However, at this moment, Wang Ba felt not a shred of happiness in his heart.

“Virtue without capacity invites disaster,”

In the cultivation world, the greatest virtue is one’s cultivation base.

If his cultivation base was insufficient, even if he ascended to the position of vice hall master, it would be hard to genuinely command the obedience of the ministers of the twenty-five departments.

Never mind how these ministers appeared friendly and harmonious when talking with him before.

That was because Song Dongyang stood behind him.

If the roles were reversed, with a thousand years of cultivation experience, who could bear being overseen by a junior with a Golden Core?

Therefore, in his heart, he hoped that the acting sect master would really not choose him.

And perhaps sensing Wang Ba’s inner thoughts,

Xun FuJun suddenly spoke to Fei Hua,

“Hall Master Fei, if I remember correctly, there’s another level of position above the twenty-five departments, isn’t there?”

The crowd was startled.

Some didn’t understand why the acting sect master was suddenly changing the subject at this time.

Fei Hua was also taken aback, but as the master of a hall, he quickly caught on and inwardly praised the subtlety.

He then solemnly cooperated,

“Yes, thousands of years ago, above the twenty-five departments, there was the position of the Five Elements Division and the Chief Division Master.”

Xun FuJun asked calmly,

“And what are the duties of this Five Elements Division and Chief Division Master?”

“Replying to the Sect Master, the present twenty-five departments are what directly unfolded from the divisions managed by the former Five Elements Division, which included the divisions of ‘metal, wood, water, fire, earth’, with each division managing five departments.

The division masters reported to the Chief Division Master, who in turn reported to the deputy hall master overseeing the Five Elements Division…

The position is above a minister and Left and Right Enforcers, the merits and benefits are equivalent to those of a deputy hall master, only lacking one aspect of support related to ‘Immortal Ascension’…”

As he spoke, some people in the crowd began to understand something.

At that moment, Xun FuJun turned to look at Wang Ba, watching him, and calmly asked,

“Wang Ba, Right Enforcer of Diwu Hall, although your realm is low, your abilities are outstanding and you have earned the trust of many.

Hence, I appoint you as Chief Division Master, you will oversee all the twenty-five departments and assist the Vice Hall Master of Diwu Hall…

Are you willing?”

Upon this statement, the hall instantly erupted in a murmur of discussion.

Clearly, Xun FuJun’s decision was beyond everyone’s expectations.

But it was also a masterful resolution to the issue.

Meanwhile, Wang Ba’s heart tightened slightly.

In a flash, he realized,

This so-called Chief Division Master of the Five Elements Division, though it sounded extremely prestigious, didn’t it involve the same duties he was currently performing as the Right Enforcer?

Managing the various documents and data of the twenty-five departments and reporting in a timely manner to the deputy hall master.

The only difference was that previously it was seen as authority delegated by Song Dongyang, but now it would be an officially sanctified, broader scope, with added responsibilities.

Of course, there were benefits to it,

With the merit and welfare benefits being equivalent to those of a deputy hall master.

Despite lacking support related to ‘Immortal Ascension’, he was still quite a distance away from reaching the Nascent Soul, let alone Immortal Ascension.

So from this perspective, though he was not a deputy hall master, his treatment was already equivalent to that of one.
