"Haha, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. It's truly the fortune of our Ghost Ridge Palace to gain such a devilish immortal seed as you."

A few shadows stepped forward through the air along with a burst of loud laughter.

The leader was a middle-aged man in a black robe, with long hair and a simple crown, a gloomy face, yet his mouth emitted a hearty laugh. This was the Sect Master of Ghost Ridge Palace, Zhang Junwei.

His strength had improved again in the past three years, and now he had reached the fourth level of the Dao Platform Realm. However, this cultivation was still far from Su Jie's current level.

Following Zhang Junwei were Elder Tang Peiqing of Ghost Ridge Palace and Su Jie's master, Taoist Qiu.

"Without the cultivation of the sect, there would be no me, Su Jie, today. I dare not claim credit with arrogance."

Su Jie jumped down from the Thousand-Hand Centipede and came before Zhang Junwei.

"Elder Tang, your strength has improved again. It seems you have gained a lot in these three years."

"Master, your strength, have you advanced to the Dao Platform Realm?"

Su Jie then greeted Tang Peiqing and Taoist Qiu with sharp eyes that could see through.

Tang Peiqing's strength was at the second level of the Dao Platform Realm, while Taoist Qiu had taken the most crucial step from the fifth layer of the Secret Storage Realm to advance to the Dao Platform Realm.

Now counting Su Jie, there were four Dao Platform Realm powerhouses in Ghost Ridge Palace, which made it a significant sect in the Da Li Dynasty.

"If not for your Dragon Vein Crystal Fruit transforming the sect's spirit vein, we wouldn't have progressed so much."

Tang Peiqing stroked his beard that hung down to his chest, with a gratified smile on his face. Su Jie, whom he had watched grow up step by step, was naturally a source of happiness for him as the Great Elder of the sect.

More delighted than Tang Peiqing was naturally Su Jie's master, Taoist Qiu.

"Well done, our lineage having produced such an outstanding talent as you, we have indeed honored our ancestors."

Taoist Qiu could not suppress his smile. He felt that the greatest fortune of his life was taking Su Jie as a disciple, which brought him great pride.

"Though we offended the Da Li Dynasty, everything was worth it for the Dragon Vein Crystal Fruit."

Su Jie responded with a smile. Three years ago, Su Jie snatched part of a fragment of the Dragon Vein Crystal Fruit from the Sixth Prince of the Da Li Dynasty.

This mystical object could transform spirit veins into dragon veins, greatly enhancing the sect's foundation, and increasing cultivation and comprehension speed.

As Su Jie looked around, besides the high-level promotions, those generally in the Secret Storage Realm also had considerable gains, and the number of inner disciples among the sect's disciples greatly increased, all due to the Dragon Vein Crystal Fruit.

For Su Jie, who was about to take over as the Sect Master of Ghost Ridge Palace, these would be his forces in the future, so naturally, the stronger, the better.

"Compared to us, Su Jie, your changes are the greatest. I am completely assured of handing over the position of Sect Master to you."

Zhang Junwei looked at Su Jie with admiration and little resentment about losing the Sect Master position. In the Demon Path, competition was brutal, like the relations of a lion pride, where the old and frail Lion King would be challenged by the young and robust lions.

A harmonious transition of Sect Master like this was instead a blessing for Ghost Ridge Palace.

Su Jie's strength had already far surpassed Zhang Junwei's three years ago, let alone after three years of seclusion. At this moment, Zhang Junwei looked at Su Jie and couldn't discern Su Jie's depth, only feeling a profoundly majestic and unfathomable presence.

"I will definitely live up to the trust of all the elders and the Sect Master and carry forward Ghost Ridge Palace."

Su Jie firmly clasped his fists, speaking resolutely. With seventh stage cultivation in the Daoist Platform Realm, condensed Yang Shen Dharma Image, possessing top grade eight refinement gu worm and eighth grade evil spirit, Su Jie was confident to fulfill his promise.

.............

"Ghost Ridge Palace changes masters, Devilish Immortal Seed ascends, assumes the role of new generation Sect Master."

With Su Jie emerging from seclusion, a storm-like news suddenly spread from Qingzhou, causing nearby Qing Province, Jingzhou, and Chongzhou to be shaken, and eventually drawing attention from all 16 states of the Da Li Dynasty.

Particularly the southern four states of the Da Li Dynasty: Qingzhou, Qing Province, Jingzhou, and Chongzhou, paid keen attention to it.

In recent years, if anyone in the southern four states of the Da Li Dynasty had the most illustrious name, it was Su Jie, the devilish immortal seed from Ghost Ridge Palace.

Destroying Purple Mist Sect, auctioning the Holy Son and Divine Daughter of righteous sects, plundering the Sixth Prince of Da Li Dynasty and so forth, these major events were all Su Jie's notable deeds.

Since Su Jie's rise, countless blood of high-level righteous cultivators had stained his hands, and more than a handful of Dao Platform Realm powerhouses had been slain by him.

For example, Qingzhou's righteous leader Guan Chao Pavilion, and Qing Province's righteous leader Fire Cloud Palace, suffered heavy losses with nearly ten Dao Platform Realm cultivators fallen, all directly or indirectly dying after encountering Su Jie. Qingzhou's second sect, Ten Thousand Sword Alliance, was completely obliterated indirectly because of Su Jie, leaving only Sect Leader Li Yuze as a lone sapling missing.

Currently, Su Jie, this great demon, boldly announced his succession as Sect Master of Ghost Ridge Palace, inevitably causing speculation in the outside world. Countless righteous sects in the southern four states turned their heads, while demon sects had already begun to arrange personnel and prepare gifts to visit.

Generally, due to oppression of the Demon Path, demon sect master successions rarely were so publicly grand, let alone making it known worldwide.

Clearly, Su Jie, the newly appointed Sect Leader of Ghost Ridge Palace, was declaring his dominance through this act.

Amidst such discussions, the sect master succession ceremony of Ghost Ridge Palace drew near.

Ghost Ridge Palace became busy and lively, arranging the sect master succession ceremony with large amounts of expensive and exquisite materials being used.
