I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong

"You want me to be your Sect Master?"

Monk Kong Wu seemed to have seen a venomous snake, retreating in fear:

"No, no, I am a man of the cloth, a monk from Little Leiyin Temple, how could I become the Sect Master of another sect? Besides, my power is meager and my insight limited, how could I be the Sect Master of the Goddess Sect?"

After speaking, he seemed to have remembered something, pointing at Tian Lin: "This Mr. Tian is not only benevolent but his wisdom surpasses mine a hundredfold. If several elders lack a Sect Master, why not invite Mr. Tian to become your esteemed Sect's Master?"

This Great Elder wanted to invite Monk Kong Wu to be the Sect Master, not only was Kong Wu surprised, but also the other elders and disciples of the Goddess Sect were extremely amazed.

According to conventional wisdom, the candidate for Sect Master is naturally sought within the sect.

The Goddess Sect has never had a precedent of inviting an outsider disciple to be a Sect Master, nor a precedent for a male outsider, who is also a monk and a Golden Core Cultivator, to be Sect Master.

Even if Monk Kong Wu didn't agree, other elders in the sect wouldn't be willing either.

Someone said, "The Goddess Sect has had only female disciples throughout history, even Elder Mei became a sect elder because of his wife's involvement. But being an elder is already the limit, how can the position of Sect Master be handed over to a man?"

The Great Elder said, "The Goddess Sect became famous because of the Divine Lady Tree's aid in cultivation. But now the Immortal Tree has departed, the Fairy Cave has disappeared as well. The new disciples under the sect can no longer cultivate the orthodox divine skills of our Goddess Sect without the Divine Lady Tree.

From now on, the fundamental arts of the Goddess Sect have changed; how can we adhere to the old rules?

Furthermore, with the catastrophe in the world today, the landscape of not only other states but also the Southern State has drastically changed. The situation of strong women and weak men has vanished, the pursuit of gender equality is the most we can seek. Choosing a man as Sect Master, why not?"

"But you can't choose a bald—"

The female elder was embarrassed to directly say 'bald donkey', so she turned the topic: "Nor can you choose a Golden Core Realm disciple from the Wenda Sect."

Tian Lin had never thought of becoming any Sect Master of the Goddess Sect, and he knew how could the people of the Goddess Sect possibly regard him?

He decisively said, "I have never thought of joining the Goddess Sect, the matter of selecting a Sect Master is unrelated to me."

The female elder wasn't willing to let Tian Lin go, sneering: "There are so many heroes in the world, even if you wanted, it's not your turn."

Over here, the disciples of the Goddess Sect didn't want Kong Wu to be their Sect Master, but over there, Aunt Xin and several old women were desperately trying to make it happen.

One of the old women approached Monk Kong Wu and said, "Master, the Great Elder's gracious offer, why do you have to reject it? Although you hail from Little Leiyin Temple, doesn't the position of Sect Master of the Goddess Sect deserve you?"

The old woman thought very clearly.

Monk Kong Wu hailed from Little Leiyin Temple, and one day would leave this world.

But Kong Wu didn't have a way to take others to another world, so they wouldn't have a chance for 'ascension' alongside him.

Instead of losing a pillar after Kong Wu leaves this world, why not keep him in this world.

If Master Kong Wu became Sect Master of the Goddess Sect, they would no longer worry about food and clothing or the lack of Spirit Stones for cultivation.

"No, no!"

Monk Kong Wu said, "I am a man of the cloth, from Little Leiyin Temple, how could I switch to another sect? How could I escape the Buddhist Sect?"

"If Master doesn't want to be our Sect Master, then how about becoming our Great Elder?"

The Great Elder was well aware of the broken window effect, if Monk Kong Wu were made Sect Master, the disciples and elders in the sect would definitely object.

But if Monk Kong Wu were made Great Elder, these elders and disciples, though feeling it inappropriate, would have to compromise.

However, Kong Wu wasn't planning to compromise, he still shook his head: "I do not intend to rejoin another sect, forgive me elders for not following the command."

The Great Elder said, "For Master to be an elder of our sect, you wouldn't need to leave Little Leiyin Temple nor leave the Buddhist Sect."

Seeing Kong Wu still wanting to decline, the Great Elder's face turned cold and said, "You refuse time and again, is it because you look down on our Goddess Sect, or must I kneel for you to agree?"

Kong Wu was scared and waved his hands repeatedly: "How dare I disrespect the Goddess Sect?"

"Then you must want me to kneel and beg."

The Great Elder did as she said, without a hint of dignity as a Nascent Soul Powerhouse.

A bunch of female disciples from the Goddess Sect seeing the Great Elder kneel, exclaimed: "Elder, why do this!"

Monk Kong Wu was even more shocked and knelt down alongside the Great Elder: "How could I, with what merit and talent, dare to accept a woman's worship."

He swore to return all the kowtows of the Great Elder, lest they become his future burden of guilt.

Seeing an old and a young, one with long hair and one with a bald head here 'worship heaven and earth', some laughed, but the Great Elder was livid: "Monk, you want to marry me? Quickly stand up! Even if you don't give me face, you should consider the task of your mission."

Monk Kong Wu hurriedly said, "Please, Great Elder, tell me the whereabouts of Shang Yu, I would be exceedingly grateful."

The Great Elder said, "If you don't agree to me, how could I tell the whereabouts of Shang Yu? Since seeking heroes to be elders of our Goddess Sect, if you're unwilling to promise me, I will take the disciples to side with Shang Yu."

Monk Kong Wu hurriedly said, "Shang Yu has already entered the Demon Path, not helping eliminate him is one thing, but how could you lead the sect's sisters to forsake the bright and follow the dark?"

The Great Elder said, "Since Master Kong Wu looks down on us, finding another wise lord to protect us, what's the harm? Since you're not the Sect Master or Elder of our Goddess Sect, what right do you have to manage our affairs?"

Kong Wu hesitated repeatedly and finally sighed: "Fine, fine, after this matter, I will return to Little Leiyin Temple to face punishment. I, I am willing to be the Great Elder of the Goddess Sect."

Now without a Sect Master, the power of the Great Elder was naturally the highest.

And since Kong Wu became the Great Elder of the Goddess Sect, the original Great Elder naturally became the Second Elder.

"Is this Master's words true? You won't renege after I tell you the whereabouts of Shang Yu?"

"I am a man of the cloth, I do not utter false words."

Although Master Kong Wu made a guarantee, the Great Elder still wasn't willing to believe. She merely shook her head and said, "It's not that I don't believe Master, but fear you will be seduced and renege on today's promise."

Seeing this, Kong Wu knocked his head towards the west: "I ask Buddha to witness, I willingly become the Great Elder of the Goddess Sect, to prevent it from being bullied by villains. If I violate this oath, I cannot be called a Buddhist disciple, and after death shall fall into Avici Hell, unable to reincarnate eternally."

Seeing him swear so heavily, the Great Elder nodded with satisfaction.

She took a thumb ring off her finger and handed it to Monk Kong Wu, then stood up and said to the people behind her:

"Before leaving, the Sect Master said all sect affairs were to be governed by me. Now I have bestowed the position of Great Elder to Master Kong Wu. From now on, Master Kong Wu is our sect's Great Elder. Anyone who defies his orders shall be dealt with according to sect regulations."
