New Sect Master

Yun Lintian focused his energy on reconnecting Yun Qianxue's Profound Vein. However, halfway through, Yun Qianxue regained consciousness and looked at Yun Lintian.

"Mom, don't worry. With me here, you will soon regain your former strength." Yun Lintian said with a smile. He tried to hide his anger from her.

Yun Qianxue reached out her hand to touch his face and asked with concern, "Are you hurt?"

Yun Lintian's hands trembled upon hearing this. Even at this time, she still cared for him. His heart was overwhelmed by a multitude of emotions as he didn't know whether he should feel warmth or sadness.

He forced a smile, gripping Yun Qianxue's hand and said, "I'm fine. As I said before, no one can hurt me. See? Is your son good?"

A smile bloomed on Yun Qianxue's weathered face. She nodded in agreement, "Of course, my son is the best."

In the distance, Yun Ruanyu, Yun Qingrou, and Yun Huanxin watched the scene unfold, silently wiping away their tears. They knew more than anyone else how close the relationship between the two was. Even though it could be said that Yun Qianxue was compelled to accept Yun Lintian as her foster son, she never complained even once and devoted all her love and affection to nurturing him.

Yun Qianxue looked at her son with love, trying to etch his appearance into her soul, and prayed that she would remember him even after she passed into the Netherworld. If there were a next life, she would want to meet him again.

Yun Lintian looked into her eyes and immediately understood her thoughts — she was giving up. He tightened his grip and said softly, "Mom, believe in me. I have a solution to save you and everyone here. Please don't give up."

Yun Qianxue noticed his confidence and assumed he was attempting to console her. She replied, "I believe you… Can you call your Aunt Ruanyu here?"

Yun Lintian nodded his head and called Yun Ruanyu over.

Yun Qianxue turned to Yun Ruanyu and said with a severe expression, "I want to pass the sect master position to Lintian."

Everyone in the hall was shocked by her words. Except for Yun Ruanyu, she understood Yun Qianxue's intention.

"Mom, you don't have to do this! I have a way to save everyone." Yun Lintian hurriedly interrupted.

Yun Qianxue didn't look at him but stared at Yun Ruanyu. The latter finally nodded her head and said, "I'll call everyone now."

Woosh—

At this moment, Yun Meilan and Yun Lingwei arrived at the main hall and heard Yun Qianxue's earlier words.

Yun Ruanyu glanced at them and nodded before heading out to gather everyone in the main hall.

Yun Lintian was anxious to tell her about the Land of Beyond Heaven but was interrupted by Yun Qianxue. "This is an order. Since you were young, Mom never forced you to do anything, but this time I want you to accept it. Can you listen to my wish?"

Yun Lintian fell silent. He took a deep breath and nodded his head without saying anything else. He decided to return her the position later, once they left this place.

A minute later, everyone arrived at the main hall. The four Hall Masters stood in front, followed by the twelve elders and over nine hundred disciples.

Yun Qianxue stood up from the ice bed with the assistance of Yun Lintian. Her gaze scanned the room before she spoke, "I have something to share with all of you. I am going to hand over the position to Lintian. If anyone has an objection, you can tell me directly."

Even though she lost her strength, Yun Qianxue didn't lose her composure at all. She was still seen as a dignified sect master in everyone's eyes. After a while, with no objections raised, Yun Qianxue proceeded to the next step. "Good. Since there are no objections, I shall now pass the position to him."

She turned to Yun Lintian and said, "Close your eyes."

The droplet symbol on her forehead began to shine. In the next moment, an exquisite droplet jewel flew out of Yun Qianxue's forehead and shot into Yun Lintian's. For an instant, Yun Lintian felt a connection between him and everyone in this place. It was as if he had become their master along with information related to the Misty Cloud Profound Art and the history's records pouring into his mind.

Yun Qianxue's voice echoed in his mind. "This is the Misty Cloud Divine Origin. It has the ability to locate anyone who has practiced the Misty Cloud Profound Art, as you may have already sensed. From now on, you are the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect. I hope you will protect everyone and never forsake them."

Yun Lintian opened his eyes, and there was a glowing droplet symbol on his forehead. He responded solemnly, "I swear upon my name, I will guard everyone with all I have until the last moment of my life."

"Good." Yun Qianxue nodded and weakly sat on the ice bed. "All of you should leave now. There is no hope to go against the enemy."

Everyone looked at each other uncertainly, but none of them wanted to leave. They turned to Yun Lintian, waiting for his command.

Yun Lintian turned to everyone and said solemnly, "I have a way to help anyone who wants to leave. If any of you decide to leave the sect, I won't blame you. After all, it's your life. You don't have to throw your life away pointlessly." He changed his tone and continued, "However, if you left, it means you are no longer a disciple of this sect. And from now on, you will have no affiliation with the sect. Now tell me, who wants to leave?"

Yun Lintian swept his gaze on everyone attentively. He wanted to see if anyone had the slightest hesitation, as he could seize this opportunity to test their loyalty.

"I will live and die for our sect." Suddenly, Yun Chan stepped forward and bellowed. Her expression was firm, filled with determination.

"Me too. I will live and die for our sect." Yun Li also stepped forward.

"Me too!"

"I won't leave!"

"To live and die for our sect!" One after another, they came forward and vowed solemnly. In the end, they shouted in unison, expressing their determination.

Yun Lintian nodded his head in satisfaction. He said, "Good! From now on, all of you are the true disciples of the brand new Misty Cloud Sect!"

Everyone was puzzled when they heard this. What was the brand new sect?

Yun Qianxue looked at Yun Lintian, confused. She saw him turn around and said to her with a confident smile, "Mom, I told you earlier. I have a solution to save everyone."

Following this, Yun Lintian summoned the Gate of Beyond Heaven in front of everyone. The silver gate stood tall, emitting an ancient aura that caused everyone in its presence to freeze in place.

"This...?" Yun Qianxue looked at the silver gate with wide-open eyes.

"You will understand soon." Yun Lintian said, helping Yun Qianxue up, and they stepped into the silver gate. "Everyone, follow me."

Everyone came back to their sense and slowly followed Yun Lintian into the silver gate.

"Where is this place?" Yun Qianxue was shocked when she arrived in the Land of Beyond Heaven. Even though her Profound Vein wasn't fully recovered, she could sense an abundance of profound energy in this place. It was at least a hundred times richer than the Misty Cloud Peak!

One by one immediately gasped in shock when they arrived in this place. Especially Yun Qingrou, when she saw the Profound Spirit Lake, the Heaven Sandalwood forest, and the Serene Bamboo forest, her mind went blank instantly.

Seeing everyone were here, Yun Lintian explained, "From now on, this place will be everyone's new home. Right now, you can take a look around the area first, and I will inform you about the new rules later." He then turned to Yun Huanxin. "Third Aunt, I need you to go out with me. We will move everything here."

Yun Huanxin snapped from a daze and nodded her head absentmindedly. Yun Lingwei raised her hand and said, "I'll go with you. With me, it's easier to remove the formations around the treasury."

"Alright." Yun Lintian approved and turned to Yun Meilan, "Aunt Meilan, please take care of her first."

Yun Meilan nodded and took Yun Qianxue from him. Following this, Yun Lintian headed out with Yun Huanxin and Yun Lingwei.

"We will go to a place first. Fourth Aunt, you can go to the treasury and wait for us there." Yun Lintian remembered the crown and told Yun Huanxin.

Yun Lingwei nodded, and her figure disappeared from the spot.

Both Yun Lintian and Yun Huanxin arrived in the hidden room beneath the throne. Yun Lintian utilized the power of the Misty Cloud Divine Origin to dissipate the mist surrounding the altar, revealing the crown before his eyes. This was the second time he saw the Crown. It was still as majestic as it had been before. However, Yun Lintian didn't have time to appreciate it, as he quickly stored it in his interspatial ring.

Because it was too urgent, Yun Lintian failed to notice an abnormality on the crown when he touched it. It shook a little before he stored it away.
