Villain: Capture The Loli Sword Spirit At The Beginning

Everyone has arrived, but what has arrived?

Tai Xuanqing just woke up from a state of chaos and had no idea what had happened.

Looking up, Gu Lingxiao sat high above in the center, like a god overlooking everything.

Many respected elders in the clan had already gathered in the hall.

Every one of them was a peak expert in the Holy Realm or the Dao Realm.

The outstanding young generation of the Tai Xuan Divine Clan had also almost all arrived.

"Gu Lingxiao, what are you up to again!"

Feeling the return of power within her, Tai Xuanqing gradually gained confidence.

She glared angrily at Gu Lingxiao and shouted in anger.

Gu Lingxiao gave Tai Xuanlang a look, and Tai Xuanlang immediately stood up.

"Tai Xuanqing, today the clan leader will be selecting a new successor. But don't worry, you still have the qualifications to participate in the selection."

"A new successor!"

Tai Xuanqing's eyes widened like bells.

In the entire Tai Xuan Divine Clan, who didn't know that she was the legitimate successor to the clan leader position?

Not only did Gu Lingxiao release her from a year of confinement, but now he also wanted to remove her from the position of successor.

"Yes, a new successor. Today, everyone is here, not just Tai Xuanqing, but also anyone else with issues can ask." Tai Xuanlang said loudly.

"Did you consult the elders before making this decision?" Tai Xuanqing immediately shouted.

Gu Lingxiao smirked and sneered.

Almost instantly, three elders stood up.

"Don't make a fuss! The clan leader just released you from confinement, do you want to go back in for another year?"

"Since this matter was announced in front of so many people today, of course, it was with our consent!"

"Alright, Qing'er, accept reality."

The last elder who spoke had some family ties with Tai Xuanqing.

Tai Xuanqing couldn't believe it and even suspected that she was still in the world created by Gu Lingxiao.

But when she remembered that Gu Lingxiao had unhesitatingly confined her for a year, she suppressed her dissatisfaction and walked over to the elder.

"Grandfather, what happened?"

Tai Xuanqing couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing particularly significant happened, it's purely because this person is too strong. After a year, he has done quite well. So...almost the entire clan is leaning towards him."

He looked at Tai Xuanqing with some reluctance.

The gazes of the people around, filled with regret, also turned towards Tai Xuanqing.

Tai Xuanqing's talent was truly outstanding.

But compared to Gu Lingxiao, she seemed lacking.

If it weren't for Gu Lingxiao being destined to become the head of the Gu family, they really wanted to bring Gu Lingxiao over to be the clan leader.

"But he will eventually leave, won't he?"

Tai Xuanqing still couldn't understand why these people were leaning towards Gu Lingxiao.

Even if Gu Lingxiao was dominant and had conflicts with her.

With the relationship between Gu Lingxiao's parents and the Tai Xuan Divine Clan, the relationship between the Tai Xuan Divine Clan and the Gu family would not be bad.

And when he left, wouldn't the Tai Xuan Divine Clan still have to choose a capable person to be the clan leader?

"You don't understand."

Tai Xuanqing's grandfather sighed.

"How do I not understand? If you really think I don't understand, then explain it to me."

Tai Xuanqing's face was extremely ugly.

Even her own second grandfather favored Gu Lingxiao, how ridiculous.

"Do you think you can reach the Dao Realm?"

"What's so difficult about that?"

Tai Xuanqing smiled.

Not to mention her, even those geniuses who were overshadowed by her, how many of them could reach the Dao Realm?

The Tai Xuan Divine Clan was a talented and prestigious clan, constantly introducing new talents into the clan.

In every generation, there were several powerful individuals who could reach the Dao Realm, which was normal.

"Do you think you can surpass the Dao Realm?"

"...It's not impossible."

"Yes, it's not impossible. So tell me, what is the possibility?"

Tai Xuanqing fell silent.

To surpass the Dao Realm, on one hand, one needed the support of other surpassing Dao Realm experts, and on the other hand, one's own talent had to be astonishing enough.

Every individual who surpassed the Dao Realm had to accomplish something unprecedented.

At the same time, a bit of luck was also necessary.

The right timing, favorable conditions, and the right people were all indispensable.

Even though Tai Xuanqing was proud, she didn't dare to claim that she could definitely surpass the Dao Realm.

"So here's another question, do you think anyone among these people can reach the Dao Realm?"

"There should be a few," Tai Xuanqing reluctantly answered.

"Have you heard of the 'Transition Period' and the 'Eruption Period'?"

"I have."

Tai Xuanqing knew.

Regardless of the power, throughout history, most of the time they accumulated strength steadily and didn't cause any earth-shattering events.

Perhaps it took an era or even several eras to accomplish something that shocked the world.

The period of accumulating strength was called the Transition Period.

This period was often quite long, and it was not impossible to accumulate for several eras.

Perhaps it would go through countless generations of clan leaders.

The other period was called the Eruption Period.

This period was relatively short, ranging from several hundred thousand to several million years, or even just a few years. Usually, there would only be one generation of clan leader.

"So I think you also know. The strength of the clan leader during the Transition Period is more or less the same. In our Tai Xuan Divine Clan's history, there have been examples of a Saint Realm serving as the clan leader. But during the Eruption Period, every clan leader is a surpassing Dao Realm expert, and each one is considered the strongest in the world, right?"

"Right..."

At this point, Tai Xuanqing basically understood what the other party wanted to say, and her confidence wavered.

"Do you think it's the Eruption Period now? Or... if it is the Eruption Period now, do you have the ability to become the clan leader?"

"No..." Tai Xuanqing answered in a low voice.

"So, in the eyes of the ancestors, your talent is actually not fundamentally different from that Saint Realm clan leader, or the other young geniuses of this generation. As the clan leader during the Transition Period, there isn't much difference between any of you."

"So that's why the ancestors allowed Gu Lingxiao to act recklessly?"

"It can't be considered reckless. Gu Lingxiao's selection criteria are to choose the young geniuses with stronger governance abilities. For us, it's not necessarily a bad thing. Besides, he has indeed helped us deal with many accumulated matters."

"Maybe the clan leader deliberately left those matters for him to handle..."

"Do you think the clan leader is that kind of person?"

Tai Xuanqing fell silent again.

She glanced at Tai Xuanlang standing beside Gu Lingxiao.

Tai Xuanlang was currently explaining the selection rules to the young geniuses of the Tai Xuan Divine Clan.

At this moment, he was eloquent and full of spirit, completely different from his usual appearance.
