Zombies: Cultivating Immortality at Maoshan, Becoming Stronger by Doing Nothing

Chapter 372

"Cough cough cough!!"

However, after taking only a few steps, the Kongtong Patriarch suddenly began to cough violently.

Seeing his appearance, everyone around him was worried for him. Could this old man have died for no reason?

"Hmph, now that Dao Yanzi is dead, shouldn't your Maoshan sect leave this position and let my Kongtong Sword Sect take its place? Don't occupy this place that doesn't belong to you! Get out of here!"

The Kongtong Patriarch looked at Dao Xuanzi and the others with an arrogant expression.

Everyone present immediately frowned!

The other four major sects' faces darkened even more.

The old patriarch of Maoshan just passed away and he's already pressuring Maoshan. If it were their sect, would this old man treat them the same way?

However, none of the Taoist masters of Maoshan were angry after hearing the words of the Kongtong Patriarch; they seemed to be watching a clown perform.

Not to mention them, the Snow Village experts from other sects almost laughed. The old village chief and the new village chief were both as strong as the two from Maoshan. They could easily defeat even a True Monarch of the fourth or fifth level, let alone a half-step True Monarch who was about to die.

"Even if my Maoshan sect loses its half-step True Monarch and leaves its position among the five major sects, it shouldn't be your Kongtong Sword Sect's turn, right?"

Becoming one of the five major sects comes with conditions; it requires fifteen Celestial Masters. Does your Kongtong Sword Sect have that?

Dao Xuanzi spoke with disdain!

Upon hearing this, the other sects around nodded in agreement; this rule absolutely had to be followed.

After all, the five major sects need more than just a half-step True Monarch.

Without enough Celestial Masters, you simply cannot complete many tasks of level seven or higher, and thus cannot accumulate enough prestige.

Maoshan was chosen as one of the five major sects because it had twenty Celestial Masters and half-step True Monarchs and completed a large number of missions. It can be said that it deserved the title.

Now, more than a thousand years later, Maoshan has gained far greater prestige among the people than the other major sects because of its unique philosophy that all inner disciples must go down the mountain to slay demons and subdue monsters.

His Kongtong Sword Sect was not only short-lived, but also, due to the nature of its cultivation methods, it was difficult for them to fight others easily.

After all, you'll get hurt if you hit someone.

That is why the entire sect is in seclusion for cultivation, and occasionally they do some high-paying tasks to make a living.

Its prestige in the martial arts world was even inferior to that of an ordinary third-rate Taoist sect.

Even with enough Celestial Masters and Half-Step True Monarchs, a sect like this could become one of the five great sects!

I doubt many people would respect them!

"Hehehe, I knew what you were thinking all along! So I was prepared long ago!"

However, at that moment, the Kongtong Patriarch gave a sinister laugh.

After saying that, he immediately glanced at several second-rate sects.

His gaze instantly turned the faces of all the Celestial Masters from these sects ugly.

However, they eventually stood up one by one.

"From this day forward, the Foshan Taoist Sect, along with seven Celestial Masters, joins the Kongtong Sword Sect!!"

"From this day forward, the Qingcheng Sword Sect, along with five Celestial Masters, joins the Kongtong Sword Sect!!"

"Our Huangshan Daoist sect..."

In an instant, the patriarchs of four second-rate sects and the Celestial Master all stood up and announced their joining the Kongtong Sword Sect.

"boom!!!"

In an instant, the entire venue erupted in cheers.

The four major sects have a total of twenty Celestial Masters, plus the three or four from the Kongtong Sword Sect, which already exceeds the standard of fifteen.

"Fellow Daoists of Qingcheng, what are you doing?"

"Join the Kongtong Sword Sect? Which of your factions doesn't have a stronger foundation than the Kongtong Sword Sect?"

"Could it be that they were coerced?"

In an instant, several patriarchs from various sects who were on good terms with him immediately began to inquire.

However, the four major sects did not say much, but simply stood silently in the Kongtong Sword Sect's ranks.
