Chapter 577: Chapter 296 Double Happiness Arrives_1
A few years later, the life span of the former Sect Master Green Jade Zen Ren of Liu Yun Sect came to an end, and he departed the world peacefully. The sect held a grand funeral for him, and some Righteous Sects also came to pay their final respects.
His Green Jade Treasure Mirror was then handed over to the newly advanced Golden Core Real Person of Green Jade Peak.
Zhou Yun Feng, the current Sect Master Jing Yun Zen Ren who was in seclusion, nurturing his Nascent Soul, also emerged to preside over the funeral. The two Nascent Soul Ancestors, Gold Sword Zen Ren and Lord Xuan Qing, also participated in the send-off.
More than eighty years had passed since the crisis of the Liu Yun Sect. However, Lord Xuan Qing’s cultivation levels had only recovered to the early stages of the Nascent Soul Stage. Perhaps he would never be able to recover his peak cultivation levels in this lifetime.
However, Lord Xuan Qing had also accepted this. After recovering to the Nascent Soul Stage, instead of staying in his cave mansion for closed-door cultivation as he usually did, he often came out to teach the Golden Core Real Persons in the sect, or even the Foundation Building cultivators.
He had no chance of reaching the Deification Realm anymore, so he might as well spend the rest of his life teaching his disciples, contributing one last time to the sect.
Time gradually passed, and ten years after the Liu Yun Sect started its Deputy Sect Master rotation system, the first rotation began.
Phoenix Jade and Hao Ran Zen Ren handed over the duties of the Deputy Sect Master to Lin Yi and Tian Huo Zen Ren, who began to take charge of Liu Yun Sect’s affairs.
Tian Huo Zen Ren was the newly advanced Golden Core Real Person of Divine Fire Peak. Although Divine Fire Zen Ren had retired behind the scenes, his restless nature meant he often led his disciples on expeditions to the Red Lotus Fire State, to cultivate their flame ability.
Although he also wanted to try to tame a bit of the Red Lotus fire, decades ago, the Red Lotus fire had become more violent. Any human cultivator who stepped into it would be attacked at full force. With his Golden Core cultivation level, he dared not enter easily.
Lin Yi also learned of this news and couldn’t help but laugh. He had severed a third of the Red Lotus fire by force using his Dan fire, naturally infuriating it.
The Drunken Immortal was different. He did not teach his disciples, instead, he started brewing wine, constantly looking for people to drink with him. Many Golden Core Real Persons in the sect were tired of it and were unwilling to accompany him in drinking, so they went to other sects to find friends.
However, Lin Yi was very willing to drink with the Drunken Immortal. Every time he visited, he would prepare a table full of good dishes so that this old senior could enjoy himself.
During his tenure as Deputy Sect Master, he formulated some development plans for the sect and made some policy changes. Of course, he did not change the entire system of the Liu Yun Sect like the Sun Moon Divine Sect did.
At the same time, in his third year of rotating as Deputy Sect Master, the Drunken Immortal and Divine Fire Zen Ren’s lifespans came to an end one after the other. Both chose not to take a Longevity Pill and left the world peacefully.
Xuan Sha Zen Ren, on the other hand, had taken a top-grade Life Extension Pill, extending his lifespan by twenty years. It’s estimated that his life limit would only be reached after Lin Yi’s tenure as Deputy Sect Master.
Of course, the lifespan extended by a Life Extension Pill could not be used to exert full strength for long periods. Otherwise, the hard-won vitality would be consumed.
After all, when one’s lifespan reaches its limit and vitality decays, a Life Extension Pill merely adds some vitality to the decaying body instead of restoring it to how it was twenty years prior.
Aside from handling sect affairs, Lin Yi also kept an eye on his first direct disciple, Xu Yu Rou. After the last opening of the Dan God Secret Realm, she had been in seclusion. He regularly visited her closed-door cave mansion to teach her and enhance her comprehension.
When she entered seclusion, she had around seventy years left of her lifespan. Now, only ten years remained, the same amount of time he had served as Deputy Sect Master.
If she could not break through to the Golden Core Stage, she had to either take a Life Extension Pill to extend her life or perish.
However, according to his Eye of Emptiness, Xu Yu Rou had made a lot of realizations. Within ten years, she would definitely achieve the Golden Core.
If one could avoid using the Life Extension Pill, one should. The Golden Core formed in a decaying body is not as good as one formed during regular lifespan.
At the same time, Lin Yi also kept an eye on Yu Huan, the first disciple of the Sun Moon Divine Sect. When the Liu Yun Sect faced the crisis of extinction, the Nascent Soul had already begun to form within Yu Huan.
During the first thirty years of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, he was busy with various affairs. Later, he reduced the affairs that Yu Huan was responsible for and allowed him to focus on nurturing his Nascent Soul in seclusion.
About a decade ago, he found out that her Nascent Soul had finished forming. He also gave her ten Supreme-grade Infant Pills to help her break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
He estimated that Yu Huan’s breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage would happen earlier than Xu Yu Rou’s achievement of the Golden Core. If both disciples broke through at the same time, he would certainly be hard-pressed. However, the following ten years would surely bring double happiness.
In Lin Yi’s fourth year as Deputy Sect Master, a strong spiritual energy anomaly occurred within the Sun Moon Divine Sect, similar to when the Gold Sword Zen Ren had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. Even the sect’s formation could not cover up this anomaly.
All the sects in the Heng Yuan World soon learned that a Golden Core Real Person in the Sun Moon Divine Sect was about to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage. They speculated that it should be Jade Illusion Zen Ren from the former Liu Yun Sect.
When this news reached the Liu Yun Sect, many Golden Core Real Persons were overjoyed. The Gold Sword Zen Ren also had a smile on his face when he heard it. After all, among the Golden Core Real Persons in the Liu Yun Sect who had reached the same stage as him, apart from Xuan Sha Zen Ren, all the others had perished.
Lord Xuan Qing felt a bit regretful. If Jade Illusion Zen Ren had not left the Liu Yun Sect, they would have had three Nascent Soul cultivators.
