C3483 Struggle for Hegemony
In the four hundred years after Defensive Pursuit Team was established, under Faang Haoyun's lead, Ninth Gate began to quickly consolidate their status and 'spread hegemony'.
Using the power of Defensive Pursuit Team, Faang Haoyun began to interfere in the internal affairs of various forces and large and small forces. He expanded the influence of Ninth Gate and established a base for Ninth Gate, among these, there were some excessive actions that attracted the opposition of other forces and even caused a series of protests from within the Defensive Pursuit Team. However, all of them were suppressed by Faang Haoyun with quite a violent method, and after going through several reshuffles, the proportion of members in the Ninth Gate also slowly increased.
In the first two hundred years of the Defensive Pursuit Team, Faang Haoyun personally issued an order to impeach and remove one of the examiners from the Shilo Cult. However, he did not choose anyone who wanted to change his Ninth Gate, but chose an elder who was close to the Ninth Gate instead.
But at the same time, Faang Haoyun also knew one thing.
He could not become the head of Defensive Pursuit Team forever. According to the rules, he would step down four hundred years later, so in order to guarantee the hegemony of Ninth Gate, he had to constantly inject fresh blood into the Defensive Pursuit Team. Thus, Faang Haoyun made use of the various resources in the Ninth Gate to begin to nurture and nurture the young generation of disciples.
Pei Chenglun and Hee Huaijiao, as ordinary Ninth Gate disciples, joined this training plan and steadily "advanced" their realms.
When Faang Haoyun's time was almost up, Pei Chenglun, as another genius disciple of Ninth Gate, became the reserve member of Defensive Pursuit Team. At this time, the strength he displayed was Celestial King of the Four Tribulations.
Up till now, there had been no more mutants in the three universes.
Understandable. Although the appearance of the beast race had become a crisis, it was not frequent. It was not surprising that the beast race had not appeared for hundreds of years.
400 years passed quickly.
Faang Haoyun left his post, but after a vote, the second chief of Defensive Pursuit Team came from Ninth Gate, which was one of the three hidden Celestial King of Nine Tribulations, Grand Elder Zhu Qing.
In terms of seniority, Zhu Qing was the martial uncle of Faang Haoyun, Lee Qingyun, and Ye Weiyang.
Ten years later, World of Meaning gave a reply, agreeing to Zhu Qing to be the overall chief of Defensive Pursuit Team.
Not long after Zhu Qing became the head of Defensive Pursuit Team, Pei Chenglun, with his identity as Celestial King of the Five Tribulations, became an official member of Defensive Pursuit Team.
Another four hundred years.
When Zhu Qing was about to leave office, Pei Chenglun displayed his cultivation base of six tribulations.
On the other hand, Hee Huaijiao, with the realm of four tribulations, became a reserve member of the Defensive Pursuit Team.
Two four hundred years.
Eight hundred years.
The Defensive Pursuit Team had never carried out any real missions, and there had never been any other races appearing. What the Defensive Pursuit Team really did was establish an overlord over all of the Ninth Gate.
When Zhu Qing left his post, Ninth Gate had already become a true power with unparalleled Thousand-Star Universe.
The third Chief of Defensive Pursuit Team, after the Defensive Pursuit Team's internal vote, ranked first, Lee Qingyun.
The information was submitted to World of Meaning.
This time, the answer given by World of Meaning was no.
The reason was that Lee Qingyun was still only eight creatures and his realm and strength were both insufficient. He had also chosen the second person in the vote, and the commander of Sword Sealing Pavilion, Ao Jianyi, was appointed the third person to be the head of the division.
This result was within Faang Haoyun's expectation. When the Great Master gathered, Faang Haoyun said that World of Meaning did not wish for any other power to become big. Although in World of Meaning's eyes, there was not much point in fighting over the supremacy of Thousand-Star Universe, as the Emperor, World of Meaning only needed a single order to affect the situation of Thousand-Star Universe, so why not?
Furthermore, Faang Haoyun also said, he guessed that Shilo Cult and Sword Sealing Pavilion would not just sit by and do nothing. In these few hundred years, the two families must have continuously communicated with, and even complained about, Ninth Gate's toughness.
So Ninth Gate decided to give in, and the third chief executive was held by the person from Sword Sealing Pavilion.
But this did not mean that the domination of Ninth Gate had ended.
It was impossible to destroy that easily after defeating the huge dividend gained from Disciple Hall as well as the hegemony built up by the two heads. Even though Sword Sealing Pavilion was the third head, Ninth Gate was still the strongest and greatest power in the entire Profound Sky Continent, there was no doubt about it.
Not long after the third chief came up on stage, Lee Qingyun gave the position of picket officer to another Nine Tribulations Grand Elder in Ninth Gate and secretly left the Thousand-Star Universe.2
Where he went, and what he did, was only known to the great elders with high positions in the Ninth Gate.
He went to the World of Meaning.
The first mission was to lobby for World of Meaning so that people would believe that Ninth Gate was peaceful and absolutely loyal.
The second mission, he had to find his predecessor, Sect Master.
Another hundred years passed.
Meng Fan had already been under house arrest for nine hundred years.
In these nine hundred years, not only had there been no other beasts that appeared, there were also no more messages from the Celestial King Universe.
On this day.
Hee Huaijiao returned to Ninth Gate to complete the mission, and arrived there to pay her respects to Meng Fan.
"Patriarch, there's news."
Hee Huaijiao had obtained a new Memory Fragment.
Amongst the Memory Fragment, it was clear that the Celestial King Universe had successfully created the second large black hole, and through the coordinates, they had once again dispatched people!
However, this time, only one had been sent out.
The Memory Fragment did not say who it was.
Celestial King Universe did not hope for Pei Chenglun and Hee Huaijiao to do anything, they only said that they would do their best to assist when it was within their capabilities.
The Memory Fragment's information also indicated that this time's large black hole was much more stable than the last one, and the only person who had stepped into the black hole this time was far stronger than the five young Divine Kings that had been sent out last time.
According to his calculations, if all went well, this person would arrive within 150,000 years.
Hee Huaijiao left.
Meng Fan continued to look after his Pill Cauldron Hall.
One after another, Defensive Pursuit Team Chiefs left their posts and assumed their positions.
In the blink of an eye, two thousand years had passed.
Defensive Pursuit Team had already changed five heads. Other than the first two heads, who were Faang Haoyun and Zhu Qing, the third was Ao Jianyi who was using Sword Sealing Pavilion, the fourth was Sect Master, and the fifth was Vice Pavilion Master who was using Sword Sealing Pavilion.
World of Meaning clearly knew that Ninth Gate was currently too strong, and was deliberately weakening the influence of Ninth Gate.
Just as the fifth chairman was about to step down, a message suddenly came from World of Meaning.
The four hundred years of being elected as the chairman was not going to change this rule, but it had to be changed because those who could truly be the chief of Defensive Pursuit Team were all supreme experts, and the number of strong people at this level was not many. According to this situation, once a person held a position, he would have to step down, and in a short period of time, the Defensive Pursuit Team would not be able to elect a new chief.
Thus, the fifth overall chief, Sword Sealing Pavilion Vice Pavilion Master, was re-elected.
And after three years, for a total of one thousand and two hundred years, his Ninth Gate had never held the position of overall chairman again.
It was also after this news arrived.
Faang Haoyun came to see Meng Fan.
