Tianjing True Person’s bet battle invitation had truly stirred up a tumultuous wave.
Within just a few days, the entirety of Jingguo Country was abuzz about the matter.
And the pressure was entirely on Qingxiao True Person of Green Lotus Temple.
Facing the challenge from the rising star, Tianjing True Person, should he accept or decline the offer?
If he accepted and failed to win, the currently favorable situation would come to an automatic end, and Green Lotus Temple would be thoroughly relegated to the annals of history.
If he declined, wouldn’t that imply he was at his wits’ end with Tianjing True Person?
In that case, as long as Tianjing True Person lived on and outlasted Qingxiao True Person’s demise, Green Lotus Temple, without the protection of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, would still not be a match for him.
For a while, the eyes of the entire Jingguo Country Cultivation Realm were on Qingxiao True Person.
Meanwhile, within the Green Lotus Temple’s gates, Golden Core Stage cultivators like Master Qingwei gathered together to discuss the bet battle invitation from Tianjing True Person.
“In my opinion, the ancestor doesn’t need to accept Tianjing’s invitation. The current situation is very favorable for us, and Tianjing Sect’s hastily assembled troupe is already starting to crumble under our relentless pressure. We just need to wait for their complete collapse!”
A Golden Core Stage cultivator from Green Lotus Temple spoke firmly, explaining his point of view.
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than another voiced their opinion, “But if we don’t accept Tianjing’s challenge, it will unquestionably send a message that we are scared of Tianjing, and those Tianjing Sect juniors, who were about to collapse, might just regain their resolve to hold on. Wouldn’t we be losing out on both ends then?”
Upon hearing this, an older elder with white hair immediately shook his head and said, “You are wrong, Junior Brother Qingling. With the ancestor’s mid-Nascent Soul Stage cultivation clearly evident, anyone with a bit of common sense knows that we are not scared of Tianjing. It is he who vainly seeks to win big with little, aiming to trap us with a false reputation and gain fame!”
“Master Chongyang’s view makes sense. In my opinion, even if we were to accept Tianjing’s challenge, we should not let him set the terms. We should be the ones to determine the specifics of the wager!”
Master Shanyang, who once traded with the Zhou Family for Earth Origin Crystal Jade, also voiced his opinion at that time.
Just like that, over a dozen Golden Core Stage cultivators each had their say, expressing their own views in a lively debate.
Yet, Sect Leader Qingwei remained silent throughout.
To be fair, the power of Green Lotus Temple was not bad at all.
If Qingxiao True Person’s limited lifespan were not considered, Green Lotus Temple was absolutely deserving of the title of a great sect.
After all, they had thirteen Golden Core Stage cultivators, three of whom were even in the late Golden Core Stage.
And the Golden Core Stage cultivators of Sunflame Sect, the second most powerful force in Jingguo Country, numbered only fourteen, just one more than them.
It was the break in the generation of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators and the lack of successors that had put Green Lotus Temple in this extremely awkward situation.
In terms of the size of the sect, even if Qingxiao True Person passed away, they could still be called a great sect.
But according to the unspoken rules of the cultivation world, a sect without a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator simply does not qualify as a great sect.
Therefore, upon Qingxiao True Person’s passing, Green Lotus Temple would inevitably start to decline.
Of course, this decline would not happen over one or two years but would be measured in centuries, waiting for the death of Green Lotus Temple’s Golden Core and Purple Mansion Phase cultivators.
As for the sect being annihilated, that was virtually impossible to occur.
After all, Green Lotus Temple’s Mountain Protection Array was such that even Nascent Soul Phase cultivators found difficult to breach. As long as there were more than three Golden Core Stage cultivators guarding the gates of Green Lotus Temple, there was no need to worry about the security of its mountain gates.
“Sect Leader Junior Brother, what are your thoughts? You have heard nearly everyone’s opinions, what do you have to teach us?”
Suddenly, noting Qingwei’s silence, a Green Lotus Temple elder turned his gaze to him and took the initiative to inquire about his thoughts.
This action caused the debate to cease and everyone’s attention landed on Sect Leader Qingwei.

Although the Sect Leader of a great sect is just an agent equal in status to the other elders, when it comes to important matters involving the entire sect, the Sect Leader undoubtedly has more say, and his suggestions are more likely to be accepted.
Confronted with the scrutiny of many elders, Qingwei could no longer remain silent.
After a brief reflection, he said, “Elders have made valid points. In fact, we can see it this way: Tianjing being forced to play this move indicates that he is out of options and must take a risky gamble.”
“However, while we know Tianjing is taking a risk, if we outright refuse his bet battle invitation, we’d certainly be giving him an easy way out, allowing him to stabilize morale and, by the way, undermine ours.”
“Therefore, in my view, we can agree to the bet battle, but whether it’s about the stakes or the criteria for winning, everything should be decided by us, not as Tianjing wishes!”
Hearing his words, the other Green Lotus Temple elders immediately showed a thoughtful expression, quickly grasping his intent.
Then one of the Green Lotus Temple elders clapped his hands in approval and said, “That’s brilliant! Sect Leader Junior Brother speaks wisely. We are not disagreeing to the bet battle, we disagree to Tianjing’s criteria for victory and wagers because we haven’t seen sincerity from Tianjing!”
