“Master, a Master for a day, a Master for life… uh…”
“Why?”
Seeing Ye Lin hesitate, Chu Xue couldn't help but ask curiously.
“It’s nothing, really, Master, you are my Master, and you will be my Master for life.”
“In the future, we will definitely meet again.”
Hearing this, Chu Xue smiled slightly, a very happy smile.
“I know you are a Dragon in slumber, you don't belong here. In the future, your name will resound throughout the entire world. I eagerly await that day.”
“Master, in the future, we will meet at the Peak.”
After Ye Lin finished speaking, Chu Xue was stunned for a moment, then broke into a radiant smile.
“We will meet at the Peak.”
Seeing this, Ye Lin knelt before Chu Xue and kowtowed three times to her.
“Master, I’m leaving.”
“Go.”
After speaking, Ye Lin flew towards the Sect's main hall. Before leaving, he still had one more thing to do, which was to elevate Li Miaoling to the position of Sect Master.
Looking at Ye Lin’s retreating figure, Chu Xue’s face was filled with reluctance.
She was very proud of this Disciple. Now that her Disciple was leaving, she felt a sense of emptiness in her heart, as if something important had left her.
“My Disciple has gone to find his own world. I should be happy.”
Chu Xue said to herself with a smile, then waved her hand, and the buildings behind her turned into dust. She herself also flew into the distance.
From then on, Qingyun Sect had nothing to do with her.
From then on, she was free.
However, at this moment, the outer perimeter of Qingyun Sect was surrounded by Outer Sect Disciples, the middle layer by Inner Sect Disciples, and at the very front stood Li Miaoling and Shi Jian, the two direct Disciples.
The nine Elders sat in their respective seats, their faces full of smiles.
Inside the Inner Sect Hall, there was a statue, and below the statue, an incense burner.
This statue was precisely the Ancestral Master who founded the Qingyun Sect.
Any new Sect Master who took office had to pay respects to the founding Ancestral Master.
“We respectfully greet the Saint.”
Upon seeing Ye Lin’s figure, all the gentlemen present bowed in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.
“gentlemen, please rise.”
Ye Lin stood with his hands behind his back on the main hall, surveying the surroundings.
“Saint, the inauguration ceremony has begun. Please begin offering incense.”
At this moment, the Grand Elder held three long incense sticks and handed them to Ye Lin, who reached out and took them.
Then, with a look, Li Miaoling instantly understood and slowly came to Ye Lin’s side.
“gentlemen, I have an announcement to make.”
“That is, the next Sect Master of Qingyun Sect will be Li Miaoling.”
After Ye Lin finished speaking, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence. The nine Elders were dumbfounded, and the Inner Sect Disciples and Outer Sect Disciples remained silent.
“Saint… this… this is not in accordance with etiquette.”
After pondering for a long time, the Grand Elder finally spoke.
The position of Qingyun Sect Saint was given away so easily?
“No more discussion. It’s decided. The next Sect Master of Qingyun Sect will be Li Miaoling.”
“Now, continue with the Sect Master inauguration ceremony.”
After Ye Lin finished speaking, he handed the three incense sticks in his hand to Li Miaoling, signaling her to continue, while he stood to the side, quietly observing the scene.
After all three incense sticks were lit, the Grand Elder picked up a long robe from the side and, after much hesitation, handed it to Li Miaoling.
“We respectfully greet the Sect Master.”
The nine Elders rose and bowed to Li Miaoling. Seeing that the nine Elders had all expressed their stance, the remaining Inner Sect Disciples and Outer Sect Disciples exchanged glances, and finally gritted their teeth, bowed, and paid their respects.
“gentlemen, please rise.”
Li Miaoling gently waved her hand, and everyone straightened their bodies.
However, there was no sense of respect on anyone's face. Clearly, they were not convinced by Li Miaoling. Ye Lin could not help her with this.
He could only elevate her to the position of Sect Master; the rest she would have to handle herself.
“Alright, gentlemen, since the Sect Master has been confirmed, I should also depart.”
“Where is the Saint planning to go?”
Hearing that Ye Lin was leaving, the Grand Elder was startled and quickly asked.
Ye Lin was at the Golden Core Stage of Cultivation, and coupled with his extraordinary talent, as long as he remained in Qingyun Sect, their Qingyun Sect would surely advance to a higher level in the future.
“To be honest with everyone, my reason for leaving Qingyun Sect this time is to join Nameless Mountain and become a Disciple of Nameless Mountain.”
After Ye Lin finished speaking, the Disciples' eyes were filled with confusion, but only a few Elders suddenly understood.
Nameless Mountain, as the leader of the Eastern Continent Human Clan forces, was unknown to many Disciples, but these Elders had long heard of it.
They now finally understood why Ye Lin gave up the position of Qingyun Sect Master.
What kind of place was Nameless Mountain? Even just an Outer Sect Disciple of Nameless Mountain was a thousand times more noble than the position of Qingyun Sect Master.
“Congratulations, Saint.”
The informed Elders bowed to Ye Lin with smiles on their faces.
With Ye Lin joining Nameless Mountain, their Qingyun Sect would also rise in prominence.
“Alright, I’m leaving now. I’ll leave Qingyun Sect for you all to manage.”
Seeing this, Ye Lin casually waved his hand. There was nothing in Qingyun Sect that he cherished.
The only thing he cherished was his Master. Now that his Master was gone, Qingyun Sect was insignificant to him.
“Is it resolved?”
In the clouds, Sha Wudao looked at Ye Lin, his face full of smiles.
“It’s resolved.”
“Come, look, this is Yufeng.”
Sha Wudao looked at the man beside him and introduced him to Ye Lin.
“This is Xia Liuli, she can be considered your Junior Sister.”
“Hello, Senior Brother.”
The woman said with a smile on her face.
“Hello.”
“Alright, everything is ready, so we should leave now.”
After speaking, Sha Wudao took out a several-dozen-meter-long flying boat from his space ring. The four of them stood on the flying boat.
Ye Lin had never seen anything like this before.
“This is a special Earth Rank Low Grade flying boat assigned to me by the Sect. Its speed is extremely fast.”
“When fully activated, its speed can reach that of a Soul Transformation Stage mighty expert.”
Seeing their puzzled looks, Sha Wudao explained, then took out a few Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and began to activate the flying boat.
Immediately, the flying boat transformed into a streak of light and flew into the distance, its speed incredibly fast.
Around the flying boat, a faint blue light curtain floated.
“Alright, rest up. We’ll only reach Nameless Mountain after about a day and a night.”
After doing everything, Sha Wudao lay on the deck, looking at the surrounding scenery, feeling very leisurely.
The man and woman, on the other hand, sat cross-legged on the ground and began to Cultivate.
Both of them were experts at the Foundation Establishment Peak.
“Oh, right, before entering the Sect, there will be three tests for you. The first is the Spiritual Root test.”
“Inferior Spiritual Root qualifies as an Outer Sect Disciple, Medium Grade Spiritual Root as an Inner Sect Disciple, and High Grade Spiritual Root can become a direct Disciple of an Elder.”
“As for supreme-grade Spiritual Roots, let’s not talk about it.”
When speaking of supreme-grade Spiritual Roots, Sha Wudao smacked his lips and did not continue.
Supreme-grade Spiritual Roots were extremely rare? Even their Nameless Mountain, as the leading force of the Eastern Continent Human Race, didn't have a single Disciple with a supreme-grade Spiritual Root.
“Besides verifying your Spiritual Root, your Heart-Nature and Cultivation will also be tested. Only those who pass all tests can become Disciples of my Nameless Mountain.”
“Of course, if any of you don’t pass, I will send you back the way you came. Don’t worry about that.”
After listening to Sha Wudao’s explanation, Ye Lin, including the man and woman behind him, all nodded.
They were all Prodigies from Tianhe County, chosen by Sha Wudao, but even so, they still had to participate in Nameless Mountain's assessment.
If they didn't pass the assessment, they would be sent back on the spot, which showed how high Nameless Mountain's entry requirements were.
“Alright, rest. I’ll call you when we arrive.”
