Chapter 341 Supreme Sect Leader

"Beep, host!"

Providence, mid-air, spread its arms.

Lu Ye caught Providence in one swift motion, tucking it under his arm as he continued charging toward Shen Xitong.

Shen Xitong, terrified, quickly retreated into the celestial palace.

Oh no, now there was nowhere left to run—the pesky host had found her lair.

"Beep, my bad! Just joking!"

Lu Ye barged into the celestial palace. The interior was pristine and sacred, but the aura of holiness was completely shattered by a tall figure wrapped in a dazzling, rainbow-hued robe.

Shen Xitong hid behind a massive pillar.

Lu Ye gave chase.

Shen Xitong dodged around the pillar like a cornered fox.

But in the end, she couldn’t escape and was caught by Lu Ye.

"Beep, good host, sweet host, I was wrong," Shen Xitong whimpered.

"Beep, hit sister!"

Providence rooted for Lu Ye.

Naturally, Lu Ye didn’t hold back—after all, this was his own system. With a barrage of palm strikes, he smacked her repeatedly.

"Beep, I’ll fight you to the death!"

Take on Lu Ye? As if!

Another series of earth-shattering palm strikes left Shen Xitong panting heavily.

Even Providence couldn’t resist, stretching out its tiny hands to land a few playful slaps, grinning from ear to ear. Beep-beep! Serves sis right!

Usually, it was sister who bullied it—this time, it finally got revenge.

After giving Shen Xitong a good beating, she looked aggrieved, her eyes welling up.

Lu Ye sat on the main throne—which was surprisingly spacious. Huh? Wait, how’d I get here?

No matter, they were all his crew. To his left was the pouting Shen Xitong, and to his right was the delighted Providence.

But judging by their appearances and outfits, it was clear that little Providence had copied Shen Xitong’s look.

So adorable, though!

Shen Xitong was a drama queen, capable of shifting between countless personas—ice-cold one minute, weepy the next, then fake-sweet one second, then domineering like a queen.

As for Providence, with its pint-sized form and not the brightest intelligence, it seemed that if it wasn’t cute, it’d just be... cute.

"So, the two of you usually stay here?" Lu Ye asked.

"Beep, no."

"Beep, of course not. This place is dead boring—nothing to do!"

Shen Xitong quickly shook her head.

"Then is it in my mind?"

"Ding! Not telling!"

"Beep, correct."

Shen Xitong widened her eyes and shot Providence a death glare.

Providence ducked behind Lu Ye.

"Beep... uh-oh."

Lu Ye shot Providence a 'really?' look—you realize it’s bad now?

It was easy to imagine that once Lu Ye left, Shen Xitong would definitely pound Providence.

But there was nothing Lu Ye could do to help!

"Back to business. I’ve successfully passed the Trial of Providence, and the last step was meeting you two. Can I now become the Heavenly Gate's leader?" Lu Ye asked.

"Ding! Absolutely! Come here!"

"Di..."

Providence stretched out her tiny hand and lightly tapped Lu Ye’s forehead.

The divine sigil on Lu Ye’s forehead originally had nine faint patterns, with the others nearly invisible. But now, all the patterns erupted with light.

At that very moment, everyone in the Heavenly Gate simultaneously knew one message.

A new Heavenly Gate leader has arisen!

The name echoed: Lu Ye!

Lu Ye’s figure appeared in the minds of all.

The other members of the Heavenly Gate did double takes upon hearing the name. Why's that name ringing bells?

"The top of the Eternal Prodigy Leaderboard?"

A voice piped up.

Instantly, the pieces clicked for many.

But soon, goosebumps erupted.

Hold up!

Wasn’t the Eternal Prodigy Leaderboard in the First Heaven?

Didn't this just happen like... Lu Ye’s name echoed through all Nine Heavens just recently?

How's he already the Heavenly Gate's leader?

What Heaven's he in now?

Fifth Heaven.

The Drunken Sword Daoist was still engaged in a heated discussion with others, curious about who it could be.

"At the very least, it must be someone from the Seventh Heaven. Without the strength of the Great Dao Realm, how could one become the Heaven's Gate Sect Leader!"

"But it's already been confirmed—no one in the Seventh Heaven has admitted to passing the Trial of Destiny!"

"If he hasn't admitted it, it's likely because he was previously unknown and deliberately concealed himself. I know the situation in the Fourth and Fifth Heavens best—there's simply no one there capable of becoming the sect master!" the Drunken Sword Daoist declared with certainty.

He was familiar with some of the Fifth Heaven's powerful cultivators because his guide was from there.

After his ascension, he had even managed to get to know all the Fifth Heaven's powerful cultivators thanks to his exceptional social skills.

There's absolutely no way anyone from the Fifth Heaven could become the sect master.

As for the Fourth Heaven—who do they even have there?

Lin Chuyue and Lu Ye.

Lin Chuyue, he'd watched her grow step by step—he was her guide, and he knew her capabilities inside out.

As for Lu Ye, forget about it—he had just joined Heaven's Gate.

Therefore, whoever passed the Trial of Destiny must be from the Sixth Heaven or above.

Just as they were bickering back and forth, Lu Ye's figure materialized in everyone's consciousness via the Heaven's Mark.

The Drunken Sword Daoist was completely dumbfounded.

"This—"
