The Ten Grand Elders
Ten Grand Elders
"Damn, the Ten Grand Elders!"
"They're here, the thrilling moment has finally arrived! Let me comb my hair and tidy up my handsome appearance first!"
"Seriously, what's the deal? You're not even a deacon, so stop pretending!"
"Damn, who should we vote for? Choosing ten out of so many people, whose names should I write on my ballot?"
"Hey everyone, vote for me! Those who vote for me will be treated to a hotpot feast!"
"What a sneaky way to campaign! Offering hotpot to get votes? Well, I'll make it clear—I promise to treat everyone who votes for me to a night with my beauties, no time limit!"
"Players from the Starry Sky Hall, remember to vote for me! Love you all~"
"Don't ask, those who vote for me, I'll cast five Fireballs for each of you later, guaranteed to be plenty!"
"Disciples of the Starry Sky Hall, are you going to leave your master, me, without any votes?"
...
Many candidates began their campaigns, each using different methods.
"Next, the voting begins!" He Yiming didn't waste any time and ordered the start of the voting.
Instantly, the numbers on the glass screen for over seventy deacon players began to change.
"Damn! How did he gain so many votes so quickly?"
"Seriously, why didn't you vote for me? Give me all your votes!"
"Oh no, my disciples, my dear disciples!"
...
Each player had three votes, so the results came out quickly.
"???" He Yiming looked at the voting results, a bunch of question marks in his mind.
Are you guys for real?

...
"???" After reading this ranking, many players were left with question marks.
"What the heck? I didn't make it to the top ten?" Star was dumbfounded, utterly dumbfounded.
He had poured his heart and soul into it, worked so hard, resolved so many matters for Flame Huang Sect, and yet...
He didn't make it to the top ten?
And he was even worse off than Old Face, that weirdo?
"Players from the Starry Sky Hall, where are your votes? Who did you vote for?" Star couldn't help but ask, full of sorrow and indignation.
"I have three votes, so the first one naturally goes to my brother Luffy. The second one must be for Dad No Shame. As for the third one, I'll be a bit whimsical and give it to someone I like. Makes sense, right?" Many players from the Starry Sky Hall responded.
Star: "???"
It sounded somewhat reasonable, but...
Couldn't I be someone you guys like too?
"Damn, this vote is definitely rigged! I can't believe I'm not in the top ten! This is not science!!! I, Thousand Hands, the Pillar of Flame Huang Sect, the master of everyone, the grandfather of all! I'm not even in the top ten?" Old Pillar was fuming with anger and protested in disbelief.
"Damn it, who the hell are your disciples?"
"Screw you, I'm not your grandson!"
"Damn it, Old Pillar is becoming more and more like Old Face!"
"Disgusting version disciple, still wants to be an elder? Get real!"
"Exactly, you want to be my grandfather every day, and you want me to vote for you?"
"Sneaky Wood Release user!"
...
Other players, upon hearing Old Pillar's protest, collectively raised their middle fingers.
Although the voting seemed fishy, like people were voting with their feet, since they had voted, they could only accept it as it was.
"Congratulations, from today onwards, you are the Ten Grand Elders of the sect!" He Yiming announced and then waved his hand.
"Swoosh!" In the next moment, Wang Lufei and the others were all wearing elder robes, embroidered with three large characters each!
Grand Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, and so on...
In addition to this, with a thought, He Yiming sent ten streaks of light that landed in the hands of Wang Lufei and the others.
These were none other than golden tokens!
The golden token in Wang Lufei's hand bore nine characters: Flame Huang Sect's Grand Elder, Wang Lufei!
The others were similar.
There were only ten of these tokens, crafted by He Yiming using a Sixth-Rank Formation and refining techniques, making them impossible to duplicate. They were also a symbol of identity!
Moreover, the tokens emitted an aura on their own!
As long as one had a Foundation Establishment cultivation, without actively probing with their divine sense, they could sense the token's presence, much like seeing a candle in the darkness. This confirmed the status of Wang Lufei and the others as elders!
These Elder Tokens were like business cards on Bluewater Star—extremely recognizable!
"As elders, you are the highest-ranking individuals in the sect under my leadership!"
"As such, I grant you special privileges!"
...
With a thought, He Yiming bestowed a portion of the Sect Master's authority upon these ten elder players. He also sent out a system notification.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations on becoming an elder! You are granted the following three privileges!"
"One Thought Silence: You can silence multiple players, rendering them unable to speak!"
"One Thought Meditation: You can place multiple players into a meditative state!"
"One Thought Halt: For 750 points, you can make multiple players stop all attacking actions!"
"The above three privileges are currently valid only within the sect!"
...
Seeing the system notification, the ten elder players were astonished, then overjoyed.
Oh my, elders already have significant authority, and they also get these three additional privileges?
Incredible! No wonder they're called elders!
But at this moment, something unexpected happened.
"Hahaha, let's try this out!" Beef Noodles turned around and locked onto several hundred players in front of him.
Beef Noodles directly shouted,
"Sit!"
Suddenly, these several hundred players involuntarily sat down on the ground.
"Stand!"
These several hundred players immediately stood up again.
Just as they were about to say something, Beef Noodles waved his hand dramatically.
"Mute!"
"Halt!"
As these two privileges were invoked, these several hundred players couldn't curse or fight back, just standing there dumbfounded.
"Stand up! Sit down! Stand up! Sit down! Stand up!"
Under the rhythmically teasing pace set by Beef Noodles, these several hundred players repeatedly stood up and sat down, hopping around.
He Yiming: "???"
Other players: "???"
The several hundred controlled players: What the heck...
