Chapter 475: The tears of joy could no longer be held back
Since the Barbarian Tribe arrived at the Grand Sky Sect, they've grown fond of the place.Before coming, they had their reservations, but given the dire state of the Barbarian Wilderness, they had little choice but to seek refuge with the Grand Sky Sect to avoid annihilation.
However, upon arrival, they discovered that the Grand Sky Sect was nothing like they imagined.
One would expect that the top sect in the world, sitting at the pinnacle, would have strict management and countless disciples fighting openly and covertly for resources and power.
It wouldn't be surprising if the sect splintered into countless factions.
Yet, while it's impossible to say the disciples of the Grand Sky Sect don't compete at all, the Barbarian Tribe found their focus to be rather peculiar.
In other sects, disciples strive to prove themselves for the ultimate goal of becoming the Sect Master.
But in the Grand Sky Sect, no one even mentions the position of Sect Master; instead, they fervently vie for the future position of Great Elder to assist Senior Brother Xinghe.
Initially, the Barbarian Tribe couldn't understand why everyone was so eager to become the future Great Elder to support Senior Brother Xinghe.
After all, they only knew of Chu Xinghe through hearsay.
But as they interacted more with Chu Xinghe, they witnessed him turning the impossible into possible, transforming decay into miracles. This ability finally made the Barbarian Tribe understand why no one contends for the future Sect Master position in the Grand Sky Sect!
When Dou Ding received the Beast God Talisman inheritance and the Spirit Beast Mystical Method, the entire Barbarian Tribe was so excited they nearly wet themselves.
So when Dou Ding proposed joining the Grand Sky Sect and becoming a part of it, the majority of the Barbarian Tribe was wholeheartedly in favor.
However, a few raised objections.
Could it be that Chu Xinghe, wearing a mask of virtue, actually covets our Barbarian Wilderness?
To this question, the majority of the Barbarian Tribe could only respond with speechlessness...
Come on, don't we all know the state of our Barbarian Wilderness?
But with the emergence of Spirit Beast Island, the Barbarian Wilderness has gained value, so is the Grand Sky Sect now eyeing it?
Despite Dou Ding's explanations, he knew that if this issue wasn't resolved, it would remain a stumbling block for some in the tribe.
After much thought, Dou Ding came up with a plan.
The Barbarian Tribe directly informed the Grand Sky Sect of their intention to leave. If the Grand Sky Sect were truly insincere, they would surely react violently.
This way, the Barbarian Tribe could see Chu Xinghe's true colors.
But when Dou Ding, in front of Chu Xinghe, proposed leaving in such an ungrateful manner, he was utterly shocked.
Dou Ding kept his eyes on Senior Brother Xinghe... and when he mentioned leaving, there wasn't a trace of anger in Senior Brother Xinghe's eyes; in fact, there was a hint of joy!
Yes, Dou Ding saw it clearly—it was joy!
In that moment, Dou Ding realized he was wrong. From the moment he doubted Senior Brother Xinghe, he was gravely mistaken!
Senior Brother Xinghe never intended to forcibly retain the Barbarian Tribe, nor did he covet the Barbarian Wilderness. Even when Dou Ding proposed leaving, Senior Brother Xinghe's first reaction was happiness for the tribe.
So Senior Brother Xinghe's joy was an expectation for the future of the Barbarian Wilderness!
Senior Brother Xinghe truly is unmatched in virtue!
I, Dou Ding, truly have a petty heart!
But today's final test has allowed every member of the Barbarian Tribe to see what kind of person Senior Brother Xinghe truly is.
With such great virtue and righteousness, our Barbarian Tribe is determined to follow him to the death!
Without giving Chu Xinghe any chance to react, the Barbarian Tribe, led by Dou Ding, performed the ceremony of the master of the Barbarian Wilderness in the Grand Sky Hall, bowing to Chu Xinghe.
"Please allow us to use the Barbarian ceremony one last time, Senior Brother Xinghe. From today onward, the Barbarian Tribe wishes to join the Grand Sky Sect and become a part of it!"
The scene erupted into chaos...
But those present in the Grand Sky Hall were all seasoned individuals, so they quickly understood what was happening.
It turned out the Barbarian Tribe's so-called farewell was not a real departure but a final test before joining the Grand Sky Sect, to see if our Xinghe was truly worthy of their entire tribe's allegiance.
Although there was dissatisfaction with the Barbarian Tribe's doubts about Xinghe, since they were pledging their entire tribe, a little caution was understandable.
The Great Elder, though smiling, was relieved that Xinghe arrived in time.
When Dou Ding first proposed leaving, many elders, including the Sect Master and the Great Elder himself, were displeased.
The Grand Sky Sect had helped them during their most difficult times without asking for anything in return.
Now that Spirit Beast Island had opened... they wanted to leave... and at such a crucial moment in the study of the Nebula Spirit Cat, wasn't this a bit ungrateful?
The Great Elder had planned to have a good talk with the Barbarian Tribe about how things should be done...
But Xinghe arrived just in time, and even the Great Elder hadn't expected that, faced with the Barbarian Tribe's proposal to leave, Xinghe not only showed no displeasure but even smiled and blessed them.
And everyone could see that Xinghe's blessing was sincere.
It was precisely because of Xinghe's sincerity that the Barbarian Tribe let go of everything and chose to join the Grand Sky Sect.
So the Great Elder truly wanted to exclaim, "God Bless Grand Sky Sect!"
If it weren't for Xinghe's virtue, the Barbarian Tribe might have really left the Grand Sky Sect!
But now, Xinghe had completely won over the Barbarian Tribe, making them a part of the Grand Sky Sect from now on.
"Get up, get up..." Under the Great Elder's direction, the elders rushed forward to help the Barbarian Tribe to their feet.
"Dou Ding, the Grand Sky Sect has never considered you outsiders. As Xinghe said, you are family, so you don't need to have any concerns. Things will remain as they were in our sect."
"Yes, yes... what do you mean by the last time using the Barbarian ceremony... Our Grand Sky Sect is inclusive. Even if the Barbarian Tribe joins us, you can still call yourselves the Barbarian Tribe and use the Barbarian ceremony as you wish!"
Sect Master Gu Mingchao's words brought tears to the eyes of all the Barbarian Tribe members.
Many sects, when accepting new forces, demand that they abandon old traditions to fully integrate.
But Dou Ding never dreamed that the Sect Master would be so magnanimous, with no such demands.
"Dou Ding thanks the Sect Master!"
"Sect Master, rest assured, while the Barbarian Tribe will not forget their roots, we will never forget that we are disciples of the Grand Sky Sect! God Bless Grand Sky Sect!"
"God Bless Grand Sky Sect... God Bless Grand Sky Sect..."
The Barbarian Tribe echoed in unison, their voices shaking the Grand Sky Hall.
The elders nodded and smiled.
The Grand Sky Sect had privately discussed how to handle the Barbarian Tribe many times, but since they were brought in by Xinghe, the final decision rested with him.
Sect Master Gu Mingchao had said to wait and see... wasn't Xinghe's involvement assurance enough?
The elders all nodded in agreement with the Sect Master... this was a stable move!
And now, it was proven that the Sect Master was indeed wise. If they had approached the Barbarian Tribe about this, they might have thought the Grand Sky Sect had ulterior motives.
But Xinghe's subtle approach was truly unbeatable... the Grand Sky Sect didn't need to say anything, just do their best, and sincerity would win the day!
Now the matter with the Barbarian Tribe was finally settled!
The Barbarian Tribe became part of the Grand Sky Sect, and the Barbarian Wilderness became the sect's land!
But as everyone was chanting "God Bless Grand Sky Sect," Chu Xinghe still hadn't snapped out of his daze...
Can someone explain what's going on?
Wasn't today supposed to be the day the Barbarian Tribe left?
If they left now, wouldn't our cultivation of the Nebula Spirit Cat take a detour?
I, Chu Xinghe, was already mentally playing "Congratulations on Getting Rich"!
Why, after blessing Dou Ding and the Barbarian Tribe, did they suddenly decide to join us?
This isn't what I wanted...
Dou Ding... I thought you were here to say goodbye, but I never expected you to stab your Senior Brother Xinghe in the back...
Is this a twist of human nature or a collapse of morality?
Why does your Barbarian Tribe want to join the Grand Sky Sect?
This is chaos... complete chaos...
I was most worried about the Barbarian Tribe when it came to the Nebula Spirit Cat. Hearing they wanted to leave, I was overjoyed!
A major concern voluntarily leaving, it felt like a gift from the heavens!
Finally, I, Chu Xinghe, had a moment of triumph.
But before I could fully savor the joy of their departure, you announced your intention to join the Grand Sky Sect. Do you know how much this news has shattered me?
Chu Xinghe struggled to hold back his tears, lest they say he was crying tears of joy...
But as Chu Xinghe fought back his tears, Dou Ding spoke again.
"Senior Brother Xinghe, no matter what, Dou Ding must thank you for passing down the Spirit Beast Mystical Method... Rest assured, I, Dou Ding, will not disappoint you. I will teach the Spirit Beast Mystical Method to every disciple in the sect as quickly as possible. With it, we can cultivate the Nebula Spirit Cat without consuming any resources!"
The elders: "!!!"
Chu Xinghe: "???"
The tears of joy could no longer be held back...
