Chapter 600: Limitless
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Chu Yu almost laughed his head off at that moment.
He finally understood why no one in the entire sect ever brought up the name of this sect.
This was a mighty sect.
It was headed by a god from the barren era.
There were many amongst his disciples who were of the Ancestral Realm, and there were countless Great Saints as well.
He had up to billions of disciples under him!
That someone with power as great as him could actually come up with such a weird name.
There really was……no one quite like him in this aspect.
No wonder Feng Jian had been talking about phallicism…Damn, this was the weirdest thing ever!
“This name……Haha……I feel that……Hahahaha. It’s quite nice……Hahahaha I’m going to die of laughter.” Chu Yu was doubled over with laughter.
The higher-level elders of the sect were about to lose it.
They were thinking to themselves, this couldn’t be happening right?
They could accept that the founder had strange taste, but could it be that his disciple……was also a strange one?
Could they bear to live on like this?
If not, everyone should just part ways and carry on with their own lives!
I’ll return to where I came from…
Chu Yu had been born in the present and had been raised in the culture of the secular world.
As such, he honestly didn’t feel that this name couldn’t be spoken aloud at all.
Wasn’t it quite mighty anyway?
But the problem was that this sect was really an incredible one.
Furthermore, it had been around since the Barren Era.
It had endured countless years.
Moreover, these first-generation ancestors had all been incredibly talented and powerful figures that were world-renowned.
What normal person would have given a sect such a name in that era?
Even in today’s world, there probably would be very few who would name a mega-sect as such.
Chu Yu was almost sure that no one had used the sect’s name even once after it had been given such a name!
That was why the scene now was so strange.
Chu Yu was laughing so hard he teared up.
A group of first-generation ancestors, along with the sect leader, were all looking at him in despair.
“Sect leader, please, change the name!” The young teacher suddenly fell to the ground and greeted Chu Yu with great ceremony.
Everyone else made to kneel as well.
Chu Yu wiped his tears while laughing and stopped them before they could kneel too. Then, he pulled the young teacher up and nodded, “This name……Haha. It indeed is a little hahaha uncouth. So, do you all have any better names?”
After he spoke, the atmosphere in the room returned to the initial joyful high in a flash.
There was unimaginable joy on everyone’s faces.
“Sect leader, I have one!”
“I have one too, I’ve thought of it since thirty million years ago!”
“Move aside youngster, I’ve had this name since a hundred million years ago!”
“You’re not that old either, do you think you have the right to speak here? This name has been with me since the final years of the Barren era!”
“Get lost all of you! I’m the eldest senior of the second-generation! When master thought of this name I had opposed it with all my might, and even suggested a great name! You all have no place speaking now!”
Even the eldest senior of the second generation who rarely spoke was nervous now.
He seemed to be in his thirties, with an average build and plain features. But his eyes were glowing at the moment, and it seemed like he was ready to fight anyone who dared to challenge him to the death.
Then, Wan Ruo, a female junior of his from the second generation of ancestors, suddenly spoke up, “Shouldn’t we leave this to the sect leader?”
“The sect leader already asked us to help think of a name!” This senior from the second generation of ancestors typically doted on her the most, but at this moment he could care less about that. He rushed before Chu Yu and spoke quickly, “Sect leader, how about we call our sect ‘Thirty-three Storeys Above The Sky’! This is a high-quality name that took me a long time to think of during the end of the Barren era. Doesn’t it sound mighty? Doesn’t it sound impressive?”
Everyone present booed.
“What kind of ridiculous name is that? ‘Thirty-three Storeys Above The Sky’…Can this pass for a sect name?”
“Eldest senior, you’ve been keeping a name like this to yourself for billions of years? Goodness……You didn’t tell us when we asked you, to think it was such a crappy name. Hahaha…” An old man with divine poise and sagelike features, the second eldest senior of the second generation, was doubled over with laughter.
Everyone else agreed that this name was too ridiculous.
The features of the eldest senior of the second generation were contorted with rage, “You all have no idea how to appreciate it!”
As he spoke, he grabbed the collar of the old man with divine poise and sagelike features, “Then you suggest a name, Number Two!”
“Don’t call me ‘Number Two’, you could call me younger brother, or second younger brother, but could you not call me ‘Number Two’?” The old man with divine poise and sagelike features looked ready to fight the eldest senior with everything he had.
“Sure, Number Two, go ahead and speak!”
“…” The old man looked as though he had nothing left to live for, before he spoke expressionlessly, “My name is way better than all of yours! Listen carefully, the name I’d give this sect is ‘The Apex’!”
After speaking, he pried away the hands of the eldest senior that were still grabbing on to his collar. “How’s that? This is a name that’s truly mighty and impressive!” He declared proudly.
“You might as well call it ‘The Apes’…” Someone muttered softly in the crowd.
The second eldest senior of the second generation glared at them instantly, “You brat, speak more nonsense and I’ll spank you!”
The person who had not been able to help but mutter was also a great being of the Ancestral Realm. But at this moment he had a wronged expression on his face and spoke childishly, “Won’t you even let people speak?”
“Then does anyone else have a better name?” The second eldest senior glared at the crowd in rage. “If there isn’t then that’s what we’ll call the sect!”
“How about ‘Thirty-three Storeys Above The Sky’.” The eldest senior had on a face of calm.
“Call it ‘Unmatched’!”
“Number One Beneath The Heavens…”
“Get lost! I shudder when I even hear the words ‘Number One Beneath The Heavens’! Who knows what word might get inserted right after ‘Number One’.”
“That’s right, if anyone dares to mention ‘Number One Beneath The Heavens’ again, we’ll deal with him according to the sect laws!”
“Call it ‘Divine Gate’!”
“Call it ‘Heavenly Laws’…”
“Shut up, don’t even mention the word ‘heaven’!”
Chu Yu looked upon the scene wordlessly in disbelief.
They really couldn’t be serious for more than three minutes!
To think that these people had all looked so serious at the ceremony before, with solemn auras and dignified expressions.
Looking at them now……These people were really just a bunch of crazies arguing amongst themselves.
Chu Yu suddenly began to understand just a little why Feng Jian didn’t want to manage this sect anymore.
But in reality, he had not fully understood the reasons behind that just yet.
Chu Yu had been watching from the sidelines for quite a while before this group of people eventually threw the ball back into his court.
“The sect leader has the most authority here. Not only is he the sect leader, he is my young senior too. Since all of you are younger than me, I’ll make the call here. We’ll let the sect leader name our sect – whatever he decides on will be our new name!” In his despair that his wonderful name ‘Thirty-three Storeys Above The Sky’ had not passed the test, the eldest senior from the second generation of ancestors was using his authority to forcibly restore calm.
His opinion was quickly agreed upon by the rest – no one was able to convince the rest of their name’s worthiness anyway.
In terms of generation, there was a great disparity.
The difference between the second and third generations was as though they were separated by several generations.
But actually, everyone here with the exception of Chu Yu belonged to a realm slightly lower than that of the young teacher. These people……were all great beings of the Ancestral Realm!
Chu Yu too had only recently discovered that there were four stages within the Ancestral Realm.
The first stage was Divine Knowledge.
The second stage was the Ability of Creation.
The third stage was reaching the Limits of Dao.
The fourth stage was becoming an Immortal.
That was to say, only cultivators of the Ancestral Realm who had reached the immortal stage were beings who could contend with fairies from the heavens.
Within this crowd, there were some juniors who had entered the Immortal stage while their seniors were still at the Ability of Creation or Limits of Dao stages.
As such, even if one was a senior, when it came to serious matters like these, they still had to respect the views of the juniors.
Re-naming the sect was obviously an important affair, one that was of incredible importance for that matter.
If some juniors were to be stubborn, it would be difficult for the seniors to persuade them as well.
It wouldn’t make sense to really use the hierarchy of generations to suppress dissent.
But from this, one could tell that the sect had an especially good atmosphere. That, along with the fact that……these big shots from the Ancestral Realm were close to going crazy over a sect name.
The eldest senior from the second generation had used his position to restore calm, but no one was angered. They all looked to Chu Yu hopefully.
But one could tell from their gazes that if Chu Yu suggested a name along the lines of “Number One Something Beneath The Heavens”, he would be beaten up even if he was the sect leader or a senior.
“The names you all have come up with are quite nice…” Chu Yu was a little troubled.
“Let’s not choose from these names.” Knowing that ‘Thirty-three Storeys Above The Sky’ would definitely lose, the eldest senior spoke under the cover of fairness, “Since the sect leader has the ultimate authority within the sect, he should come up with a name on his own so as to convince everyone.”
Chu Yu couldn’t help but begin to smile bitterly. He thought to himself, “If I really could come up with good names, then I wouldn’t have given Butterfly Dance’s real body a name that literally means Chu Big Flower…”
He pondered for a moment before saying, “This sect of ours has been passed down through the generations ever since the Barren era, and it is flourishing even today…”
Everyone present nodded proudly.
This was indeed something they took the greatest pride in.
“Like the sands of time, it has neither beginning nor end, no borders or boundaries…” Chu Yu gazed at the crowd and spoke slowly, “Let our sect be called ‘Limitless’ then.”
“Neither beginning nor end, no borders or boundaries……Limitless…” Everyone present began to contemplate the name.
“A good name! It has as much substance as my ‘Thirty-three Storeys Above The Sky’!” The eldest senior of the second generation spoke first.
“Mm, this name really does have an air of mightiness. I think it’s good.” The second eldest senior nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, everyone indicated their agreement as well – no one took any issue with this name.
Finally, the young teacher’s eyes reddened despite himself, and he looked at everyone present, “We……finally have a name…” He then let out a sob.
A few female masters of the Ancestral Realm who were more emotional also could not help but let out tears of agitated joy.
“That’s right, we have a name now!”
They really were a bunch of pitiful children.
In his heart, Chu Yu was ranting incessantly, and he couldn’t find it in him to pity them at all.
The ancestors were weird, the sect was weird, the disciples were weird!
Until now, he has not met a single normal one!
At this point, the young teacher looked at Chu Yu and spoke, “Thank you for naming us sect leader. A change in leadership really refreshes the atmosphere in the sect. Now then, let us discuss the second matter at hand.”
“There’s still a second matter?” Chu Yu suddenly had a bad premonition.
It was as though he had unwittingly boarded a pirate ship that had already left for sea…
“Mmhmm, there’s still a second matter!” The young teacher nodded furiously. All of a sudden, his face crumpled and he began to cry to Chu Yu, “Sect leader……Our sect is poor!”
“What?” Chu Yu looked at the young teacher in bewilderment, “What do you mean?”
“Everyone in the sect is poor, to the extent that we are close to starving! Sect leader, please think of a solution, if not the future of the sect is at stake!”
Goddammit!
Chu Yu recovered from the shock in a moment. He had taken all sorts of precautions……but in the end he had still fallen for the tricks of the scholar’s unreliable and useless scumbag senior.
He had been trapped by him!
