Chapter 1334 I'm afraid my great-grandfather isn't a match for them.
"really!"
Xu Changshou nodded secretly; Feng Chenglong was indeed about to pass away.
Feng Chenglong is the leader of the Seventh Patrol Group. Once he reaches the Dao stage, I will have to compete with others for the position of leader of the Seventh Patrol Group. If Feng Chenglong could reach the Dao stage a thousand years later, and I could compete for the position of leader of the Seventh Patrol Group after I break through to the Great Vehicle Perfection Realm, it would be a piece of cake.
Unfortunately, time waits for no one.
Xu Changshou shook his head slightly and smiled, "Yes, I understand. Ten days from now, let's send Senior Brother Feng off on his final journey together."
"Senior Brother Xu, I'll take my leave now!"
"Take care, Junior Brother Yu!"
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Xu Changshou stood up and went to Xu Xiangzu's secluded retreat.
"Grandson, today is Senior Brother Feng's passing away. Come with me to attend Senior Brother Feng's passing away ceremony!"
"Yes!"
The grandfather and grandson took to the air and flew towards Feng Chenglong's Taoist temple.
During the flight, Xu Changshou glanced at Xu Xiangzu. At this moment, the latter's cultivation had reached the peak of the early Mahayana stage, and he was not far from breaking through to the middle Mahayana stage.
Xu Changshou estimated that Xu Xiangzu would definitely be able to break through to the middle stage of Mahayana within a thousand years.
Xu Xiangzu is currently around 8,000 years old, which means that he should be able to break through to the late Mahayana stage when he is 9,000 years old.
This speed is extremely fast. When Xu Changshou himself broke through to the mid-stage of Mahayana, he was already 9,200 years old.
Xu Ye was even later than him; when Xu Ye broke through to the mid-stage of Mahayana, he was already almost ten thousand years old.
Both Xu Xiangzu and Xu Ye have fivefold spiritual roots. Xu Xiangzu cultivates faster than Xu Ye, not because his spiritual root is better than Xu Ye's.
It was because he had ample cultivation resources in the early stages and was more diligent in his cultivation than Xu Ye.
Of course, this is only the initial stage. In the future, Xu Xiangzu's cultivation speed will gradually widen the gap with Xu Changshou, and the gap between the two will only get bigger and bigger. It will be impossible for him to catch up with Xu Changshou.
Soon, the grandfather and grandson arrived at the entrance of Feng Chenglong's Taoist temple, where they saw Xie Shixiang, Bai Xianyun, and Yu Xiantong.
At this time, Xie Shixiang and Bai Xianyun's cultivation had both reached the late stage of the Mahayana realm.
Yu Xiantong's cultivation level has also reached the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm.
Anyone who can join the Seventh Patrol Group is a genius; they haven't exhausted their potential at the Mahayana realm and can still break through to the next level.
Whether one can break through to the Tribulation Transcending Realm depends on individual fortune.
"Junior Brother Xu is here."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Xie and Senior Sister Bai."
"Everyone's here, let's go in!"
"it is good!"
The group entered Feng Chenglong's temple.
At this moment, Feng Chenglong's temple was empty, with only Feng Chenglong sitting alone in the courtyard.
At this time, Feng Chenglong looked incredibly old.
The passing of a cultivator of Feng Chenglong's level is a major event in the Donghua Immortal Sect. Almost all the Mahayana cultivators from Jumen Peak will come to see him off.
Xu Changshou and his group were on the same side, so they arrived earlier; the others hadn't arrived yet.
Xu Changshou glanced at the aged Feng Chenglong, a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes.
A cultivator at the Mahayana realm has a lifespan of 50,000 years. Although Feng Chenglong lived for 50,000 years, he could not escape death in the end.
Sensing their arrival, Feng Chenglong slightly opened his eyes, glanced at everyone, and nodded slightly: "Thank you all for seeing me off on my final journey."
"Senior Brother Feng, take care!"
"Brother Feng, may you rest in peace!"
The group found a place to sit down and didn't talk much.
Soon, people started arriving.
Many familiar faces arrived one after another.
Venerable Honglian, Venerable Hongwu, Venerable Wanyan, Xiao Changsheng, Lin Xueyi, Yang Yanjing, Xu Ye, Venerable Lengfeng, Venerable Gutai, Venerable Yuexian, Venerable Kexian, Jiang Tianyi, Lu Lihe, Su Qingrou, and others all came.
The atmosphere at the scene was somber. All the people who came were cultivators at the Mahayana realm. Like Feng Chenglong, if they could not break through to the Tribulation Transcending realm, they would only live for 50,000 years, just like Feng Chenglong.
Thinking of this, a layer of sadness unconsciously settled on the faces of everyone present.
At midday, Zhu Miaoshan, Hu Ruilong, Gao Jianmin, and Situ Xianchang arrived last.
The four looked serious. Zhu Miaoshan glanced at everyone, and finally her gaze fell on Feng Chenglong.
Feng Chenglong bowed slightly: "Disciple Feng Chenglong greets the four senior uncles."
"Ok!"
Zhu Miaoshan nodded slightly and said solemnly, "The auspicious time has arrived. We respectfully send Venerable Riding the Dragon off to heaven."
"Respectfully seeing off Venerable Riding the Dragon."
"Respectfully seeing off Fellow Daoist Feng."
"Take care, Senior Brother Feng!"
May Senior Brother Feng rest in peace!
As Feng Chenglong began his transformation into a Daoist, the sorrowful atmosphere in the courtyard intensified.
Not long after, Feng Chenglong passed away peacefully. The crowd paid their respects and then departed.
Finally, with Feng Chenglong present, only Xu Changshou, Xu Xiangzu, Xie Shixiang, Bai Xianyun, and Yu Xiantong remained.
The group worked together to prepare Feng Chenglong's body for burial.
After collecting Feng Chenglong's body, Xie Shixiang said with a worried expression, "Brother Feng is gone. Without Brother Feng, the higher-ups will definitely send someone to take over as the leader of our seventh patrol group."
Xu Changshou asked curiously, "Do you know who will be transferred?"
Bai Xianyun shook her head: "I don't know, Uncle Hu didn't say."
Yu Xiantong said with a wry smile, "I heard that people will be transferred from other peaks. The people transferred are very strong, and their strength is definitely no less than that of Senior Brother Feng."
Xu Changshou and Xu Xiangzu exchanged a glance, and Xu Xiangzu showed a worried expression.
It seems that Xie Shixiang and the others are unaware that Xu Changshou is vying for the group leader position.
Xu Xiangzu knew Feng Chenglong's strength; he was a powerful figure ranked fifty-sixth on the Great Ascension Golden List. If the person brought in was stronger than Feng Chenglong, could the old patriarch be a match for him?
Xie Shixiang glanced at Xu Changshou and said, "Junior Brother Xu's strength is good, but it's a pity that he hasn't broken through to the Great Ascension Perfection. If Junior Brother Xu breaks through to the Great Ascension Perfection, he can compete for it."
Bai Xianyun smiled and said, "Yes, it would be great if Junior Brother Xu could be the leader of our seventh patrol group."
Yu Xiantong shook his head: "Unfortunately, Senior Brother Xu's cultivation level is not high enough."
"hehe!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Changshou smiled but said nothing more.
His spot hasn't been confirmed yet, so saying he has a spot now would be risky.
Back at his own training ground, Xu Changshou continued his cultivation.
Xu Xiangzu, however, couldn't sit still and started looking for information everywhere.
The unresolved issue of the seventh patrol group leader's position has also caused quite a stir on Jumen Peak.
Several days later, news finally broke.
Xu Xiangzu arrived at Xu Changshou's secluded retreat place with a heavy heart.
"Grandpa! The spots have been decided!"
"What quota has been allocated?" Xu Changshou opened his eyes and frowned slightly.
Xu Xiangzu said, "The results of the competition for the position of leader of the seventh patrol group have been announced."
"Oh!"
Xu Changshou smiled: "Am I included?"
"With you, although we have you, I'm afraid it won't work this time. Your competitors are too strong. I'm afraid you, Grandfather, are no match for them."
