Chapter 900 General Election

While abandoning sagacity and wisdom has many advantages, it also has a flaw that is not really a flaw.

After activating the practice of abandoning sagehood and wisdom, one's own thought patterns will be affected, and one's actions will be directly aligned with one's true nature.

However, humans are emotional beings, and outsiders may not understand such behavior, or even think it is too silly, foolish, or heartless.

This influence was unavoidable, and Chen Guan didn't care what others thought.

After advancing to the Ninth Awakening, Chen Guan planned to first go to Evil God Mountain to obtain the secret technique, and then go to find Ji Fenglie to go to the Thirty-Three Heavens Thunder World opened by the Boundless Calamity Bell.

Chen Guan wants to modify the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique to make it usable for attack. Chen Guan's current plan is to add a new secret technique called "Full Speed ​​Kill" to the existing secret techniques of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique.

The full-speed kill comes from a secret spirit called "Golden-Winged Silkworm" on Evil God Mountain. This Golden-Winged Silkworm is only a seventh-level secret spirit, and its highest level does not exceed 70.

Its combat strength is only average, but its flight speed is very fast.

The "Full Speed ​​Kill" technique is a secret technique that converts speed into lethality.

Chen Guan plans to incorporate the Swift Kill into the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, thereby converting speed into lethality. The faster the escape speed, the stronger the lethality.

By combining this with a powerful burst of one's own vital energy, one can achieve the effect of freely controlling one's own vital energy.

Originally, the Ten Great Families were stationed at Evil God Mountain, but after Ji Liuying announced the sealing of the secret realm last time, the Ten Great Families all withdrew.

When Chen Guan arrived at Evil God Mountain, there were not many human cultivators left; only some Ji family cultivators were stationed on the outskirts.

Chen Guan took out the pass given to him by Ji Liuying and successfully entered the Evil God Mountain.

Evil God Mountain is a massive mountain range, no smaller than the Tearful Desert, and perhaps even larger.

Golden-winged silkworms only grow in some secluded, dark valleys. Chen Guan, holding a map, spent a considerable amount of time before finally finding a valley with golden-winged silkworms.

As a golden light flew over, Chen Guan simply pointed and sliced ​​the flying golden-winged silkworm in two.

Unfortunately, the secret technique core was not obtained.

While Chen Guan was hunting Golden-Winged Silkworms in the Evil God Mountains, the general election had reached its most intense final sprint stage.

Both Xiu Jia and Judge Qi are making a final effort to garner more votes.

Since the Ji family announced the sealing of the Great Cave Heaven, they could not see Ji Liuying and could only assume that the Ji family had abstained from voting.

Both sides are working hard to win the remaining votes from these families.

On election day, all factions gathered at the ancestral temple, making this election exceptionally lively.

The election, held every ten years, had been uneventful for the past few hundred years, and most cultivators hadn't paid much attention to it, as Chief Qi had consistently been re-elected.

This time, however, heroes from all directions gathered at the Ancestral Court. In addition to the heads of various families who represented the Heavenly King in voting, many other powerful figures also came to the Ancestral Court.

Chen Guan brought Ji Nanhong with him and came to the ancestral temple in person. Both he and Ji Nanhong wanted to see Qi Tianxin expelled from the ancestral temple.

Only when Qi Tianxin is expelled from the ancestral temple will they have the opportunity to take action against him and settle their grudges.

Accompanying Chen Guan were Duan Shulin and Bai Xiuyan, both of whom are now experts at the Ninth Awakening level.

Bai Xiuyan, in particular, is almost at the Great Perfection level.

Since Duan Shulin wasn't a member of any of the ten major families, he didn't need to avoid them and went straight with Chen Guan to watch the excitement. When Chen Guan and his group arrived in the East District, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Many people believe that Chen Guan has been guarding the Southern Heaven Kingdom and has not entered the Great Cave Heaven. How dare he come to the Ancestral Court so openly? Isn't he afraid of being secretly assassinated?

Chen Guan was not afraid at all. With his current strength, even if the Heavenly King came, he might not be able to do anything to him.

If Qi Tianxin weren't still the judge, Chen Guan would already be eager to challenge him.

As long as Qi Tianxin remains the presiding judge, his status and position are what they are, and the ten major families will not allow him to be humiliated or even killed in broad daylight.

The group settled on the top floor of the most luxurious hotel in Dongcheng District. Looking at the brightly lit night view outside the window, Chen Guan remembered something.

Chen Xinghe had told him that there was a stele of a hundred families in the ancestral temple, and that he had placed something inside that stele.

If Chen Guan has the opportunity to go in, he can check if the contents of the Hundred Families Stele are still there.

Chen Xinghe didn't say what the thing was, only that if Chen Guan had the chance to take it out, there might be a surprise.

This time, Chen Guan can go to the ancestral temple with Xiu Jieming to participate in the election. At that time, he can go to the Hundred Families Stele to see if Chen Xinghe's hidden things are still there.

The atmosphere of the election was intense. Campaign slogans were everywhere in the four districts, and large screens on the exterior walls of shopping malls continuously played the candidates' campaign speeches and the policies they would implement if they were to successfully take office as judge.

These are just for ordinary people to see. Although ordinary people do not have the right to vote, they have gone to great lengths to ensure that the "leeks" (a derogatory term for ordinary people) can grow up in peace.

Chen Guan made no attempt to hide his intentions and directly joined Xiu Jieming's camp. Xiu Jieming personally greeted Chen Guan outside the office building.

“If we join forces, we will surely win this election,” Xiu Jieming said with a smile.

“Judge Xiu, that sounds very pleasing to the ear. It’s as if fate has ordained you to be judge,” Chen Guan said.

“Commander Chen sounds good too,” Xiu Jieming said.

The two men smiled at each other, and Xiu Jieming ushered them inside.

On election day, everyone followed Xiu Jieming to the ancestral temple's main hall.

Chen Guan had been observing everything inside the ancestral temple. Although he had seen it many times online, this was the first time he had seen it in person.

Upon entering the main gate, you'll find yourself in a plaza. In the center of the plaza stands a jade stele, a hundred meters tall, which looks quite magnificent.

The front of the jade tablet is inscribed with the Hundred Family Surnames, while the back contains the origins and legends of each surname.

"This is the Hundred Schools Stele. I wonder if what Dad mentioned is still there?" Chen Guan kept looking at the Hundred Schools Stele as he passed by.

After finding the Chen family's residence at Baijiabei, Chen Guan examined it carefully but couldn't find anything unusual.

The character "Chen" was no different from the other surnames engraved on the stone, and I didn't sense anything special about it.

"It seems I can only try my luck using the method Dad suggested. Today is election day, so it's a good opportunity. Once everyone's in the auditorium and the election starts, I can sneak out and give it a shot." Chen Guan made up his mind to come back later.

After following Xiu Jieming, Xiu Yingmei and others into the auditorium, they saw that Qi Tianxin and others had already entered.

The entire auditorium was semi-circular. Qi Tianxin's group occupied one-third of the left-hand section of the stands, with Qi Tianxin and his wife Feng Wuci sitting at the very front.
