Chapter 452 Supreme Elder Yu Qingtan
Yu Qingtan gave a slight smile and also put away her Law Manifestation True Body and Daoist Instrument.
"Brother Dao, your strength is extraordinary, thank you for allowing me the victory!" Yu Qingtan said.
Invincible Venerable shook his head, offering a bitter smile.
"It is I who am not as skilled, from now on the name 'Invincible' shall belong to you, Fairy Qingtan. I will take it as a title!"
Wu Di Venerable let out a long sigh of relief, speaking with some resignation.
"We are all but seekers of the Great Dao, I hope we'll meet at the pinnacle in the future!" Yu Qingtan said.
"Yes, until the pinnacle! Wu Di takes his leave first!" Wu Di Venerable said, then turned and transformed into an Escape Light, heading towards the direction of the Cangqiong Sword Sect, leaving behind only a hint of a lonesome charm.
"Brother, I'm sorry I couldn't defeat Fairy Qingtan for you! But you still have me, Brother. Ah Ji will always be with you, taking care of you!" The comforting voice of the Artifact Spirit Ah Ji echoed in Wu Di Venerable's mind.
...
With Wu Di Venerable's concession, the spectators erupted into cheers, especially the members of the Tan Immortal Fan Club, who were absolutely ecstatic.
"Fairy Qingtan is invincible!"
"Fairy Qingtan belongs to us all!"
"Fairy Qingtan, I love you!"
"Hahaha, Fairy Qingtan, I'm rich, I bet all my fortune on your victory! Hahaha!"

Most of the cultivators who supported Wu Di Venerable applauded Fairy Qingtan's elegance as well, although a few gamblers who had staked a large number of Spirit Stones on Wu Di Venerable felt their lives had turned bleak. However, they didn't dare to voice a single complaint openly and could only rage impotently in their hearts.
Li Qingxuan of the Extreme Path Demon Sect, Ye Yue Princess of the Red Dust Demon Sect, and Qian Yongwei of the Eastern Region Qian Family left Mount Wendao with very unsightly expressions, feeling a profound sense of powerlessness against Yu Qingtan's strength.
However, given Yu Qingtan's strength, they surmised that many incidents were likely her doing, such as the fall of Murong Haokong, the Young Sect Master of the Extreme Path Demon Sect, the death of Liangchen Venerable of the Red Dust Demon Sect, and the tragic end of Yuxuan Venerable from the Eastern Region Qin Family.
But even if they guessed it, what could they do? With Yu Qingtan's current strength, it would be fortunate if she didn't come looking for trouble with Sects like the Extreme Path Demon Sect, which certainly wouldn't dare to provoke her anymore.
"Congratulations to Fairy Qingtan on your victory, your unmatched strength is undeniable, what a pity that Wu Di could not share this fortune!" said the Tianquan Sword Venerable, Yao Guang Sword Venerable, and Tianshu Sword Venerable from the Cangqiong Sword Sect as they approached Yu Qingtan to offer their congratulations.
"Thank you to the seniors, regardless, Wendao Sect and the Cangqiong Sword Sect are allies, and I also regard Brother Wu Di as a friend! The Sect is preparing a banquet, I invite the seniors to stay and share a few drinks!" replied Yu Qingtan with a smile.
"Thank you for the invitation, Fairy Qingtan, but we are concerned about Wu Di and will be heading back first, perhaps another time!" the likes of Tianquan Sword Venerable said, naturally not wanting to take part in a celebration of Fairy Qingtan's victory and excused themselves with a pretext before departing somberly towards the Cangqiong Sword Sect.
Dignitaries such as Shouheng Venerable from the All-World Academy Southeast Branch, Lianxing Venerable from the Star Moon Sect, Fang Ling Venerable from the Blood God Cult, and the Qing Holy Maiden from the Sect of Commoners came forward with their congratulations and agreed to stay for the feast organized by Wendao Sect.
This banquet was meant to celebrate Fairy Qingtan's victory, as well as her Divine Transformation, and it also coincided with her birthday. The banquet had been planned by the high-level members of Wendao Sect before the duel.
Venerables Yulu, Zhi Qin, Houde, Godly Wind from Wendao Sect, and True Lord Kongbei, the Sect Master himself, were all smiling broadly, ready to personally preside over the banquet.
That night, the Wendao Sect was festooned with lanterns and streamers, buzzing with extraordinary excitement. The entire sect was adorned like a dream, shimmering with flowing lights.
Inside the banquet hall, Fairy Qingtan, Yulu Venerable, Zhi Qin Venerable, Houde Venerable, Venerable Shenfeng, and Sect Master True Lord Kongbei sat at the principal seats, their faces brimming with proud and joyous smiles.
In the midst of the banquet hall, toasts were exchanged and guests filled the space like clouds.
Midway through the banquet, True Lord Kongbei stood up, raised his glass to everyone, "Thanks to all fellow daoists for attending Fairy Qingtan's Divinity Transformation ceremony and birthday banquet. Fairy Qingtan is the pride of our Wendao Sect, and her accomplishments are also the glory of our entire sect. After deliberation with the Supreme Elders, Fairy Qingtan will henceforth be the first Supreme Elder of our Wendao Sect."
"Thank you, Sect Master, thank you, elders. Qingtan humbly accepts!" Yu Qingtan stood up and smiled. She did not decline—when one's power reaches such a level, status naturally rises accordingly.
The atmosphere of the banquet was exceptionally harmonious and lasted until late into the night.
Afterward, Yu Qingtan distributed the five treasures she had won from the competition.
Yu Qingtan gave the ten thousand top-quality Spirit Stones to Xiang Yiyi, Yan Xi, and the other ladies as operating funds for the Tan Immortal Fan Club and as their reward.
Intending to use the Medium Grade Dao Artifact Green Water Palace for herself, Yu Qingtan gave the Dark Origin Fruit to Zhi Qin Venerable.
Although Zhi Qin Venerable had made Yu Qingtan somewhat unhappy regarding the matter of their ten-year agreement, she was now the first Supreme Elder of the Wendao Sect and needed to enhance the sect's strength. As the Dark Origin Fruit was of no use to her but greatly desired by Zhi Qin Venerable, she gave it to him.
She gave twenty Immortal Crystals each to Yulu Venerable, Houde Venerable, Venerable Shenfeng, and True Lord Kongbei, keeping the remaining twenty for herself.
As for the Longevity Fruit, she stored it in the Wendao Sect's Treasure Vault, because in truth, the fruit was of little use to her; she was only twenty-seven years old, but her lifespan exceeded seven thousand years.
To repay Venerable Shenfeng for her care, Yu Qingtan entrusted the Five-Star Ascension Tree to her for temporary safekeeping in secret, allowing her to distribute the fruits as well.
Though the Five-Star Ascension Tree had greater potential for development, it required higher-tier Five Elements spiritual substances for nourishment, and the Outer Realm only had the Essence of the Innate Five Elements. Thus, currently, it was a mere Fifth Stage spiritual plant, and its yield was limited.
Yu Qingtan planned to see if she could bring it along when she traveled to the Central Domain in the future.
During the banquet, the Qing Holy Maiden from the Sect of Commoners conversed with various Wendao Sect's Divine Transformation Venerables, expressing her hope to develop the Sect of Commoners within the territory of the Wendao Sect, to which Yu Qingtan agreed.
Although Yulu Venerable and others were skeptical about this, since the Qing Holy Maiden assured that it would not harm the interests of the Wendao Sect, and now Yu Qingtan was the first Supreme Elder, they could only tentatively agree.
Moreover, Venerable Shenfeng suspected that the Qing Holy Maiden was actually an incarnation of Yu Qingtan, especially since Shen Wanning's matter had been hinted at to Yu Qingtan.
Of course, Venerable Shenfeng casually inquired with Yu Qingtan about this, but Yu Qingtan denied it outright, so Venerable Shenfeng didn't delve any further.
After handling these matters, Yu Qingtan continued to seclude herself for cultivation, attempting to break through to the late stage of Divinity Transformation.
Time flew swiftly and another year passed by, with Yu Qingtan feeling no closer to a breakthrough opportunity.
Despite being in semi-seclusion, which allowed her to use her phone, play the piano, and enjoy food and fun with Xiang Yiyi and the others, the fact that her cultivation hadn't advanced in a year still made her somewhat irritable.
Therefore, one night, she quietly left Mount Wendao, ready to set out on a journey.
