In Fang Ruotang's view, whether it was her original power or her current status as the Heavenly Dao, it was all a kind of punishment. She seemed to have endless life and power, but she could only be lonely and devoted forever.

It's like the Heavenly Way saving itself; in her view, it was a mistake because the Heavenly Way sought to save one life while all others perished, so she replaced the original Heavenly Way.

But from the perspective of the Way of Heaven itself, where is it actually wrong?

Why must one make sacrifices?

But for someone of her status, there is no other path to choose. She has no love in her heart, nor can she have love, because she can only care for all living beings, whether she wants to or not. This is why the Great Dao seems to be compassionate but is actually heartless, because this favor will never fall solely on one person.

So the moment Fang Ruotang awoke, her emotions and desires had already faded. It wasn't that they were completely gone, but rather that the intense feelings she had shared in the past now seemed like vivid paintings in her memory.

"Is this okay?" Fang Ruotang smiled foolishly, mimicking the way she remembered.

Gu Yanjin and the others felt a chill run down their spines and nodded cautiously.

Fang Ruotang stopped smiling, raised her hand and sent a burst of spiritual energy towards Gu Nancheng. His face, which had been as white as paper and looked like a dead man, gradually became rosy and he slowly opened his eyes.

He slowly tilted his head, meeting Fang Ruotang's gaze from afar.

With a flip, he fell from mid-air, but at the moment of impact, he instantly teleported in front of Fang Ruotang and knelt before her.

Because Gu Nancheng had just fainted, he was unaware of what happened afterward, hence his current state upon regaining consciousness.

"Get up!"

Fang Ruotang gave a soft sound, and Gu Nancheng stood up uncontrollably.

She glanced at him but didn't say anything more.

Gu Nancheng was about to say something when Cui Shixu stopped him and pulled him aside to talk.

Fang Ruotang could hear their conversation, but she didn't wait for them.

They entered the secret realm first.

Before the two could even finish their sentence, they followed each other, with Cui Shixu leaving behind only one sentence.

"Everything remains the same, just as before, especially in front of the Fang family."

Gu Nancheng: ...

When did adults become so considerate, caring about these people's feelings?

I don't understand, but I'm overjoyed.

Does this mean that adults also can't bear to part with these ties?

If the Fang family is all right, what difference would it make if there were one more person like him?

Inside the Tianyi Secret Realm.

All the elders were present.

They had been waiting for Fang Ruotang for a long time, and when they saw her appear, they looked at her as if she were some rare treasure.

Fang Ruotang walked up to the high seat with a blank expression and sat down.

Looking at the people below him, his brows and eyes relaxed.

I knew it would turn out this way, so I decided not to show myself in front of the disciples just now, because I didn't want to be watched by others.

"Get to the point."

Fang Ruotang's cold tone stunned everyone present.

The elders of the sect all had a good personal relationship with Fang Ruotang and had some interactions with her. To a certain extent, they even regarded the sect leader as a nephew.

After all, given Fang Ruotang's original personality, it would be difficult for them to regard her as the leader of a sect; she didn't possess that calm and composed aura.

But this time, it's different.

The face is still the same face, the person is still the same person, but something is different.

Moreover, the majesty emanating from her terrified them, as if they could never fathom her depths. After a few glances, for some reason, they couldn't help but lower their eyes and dare not look any longer.

Fang Ruotang had actually tried her best to restrain her aura.

If she were to truly indulge herself, the group of people in front of her would be crushed into minced meat in an instant.

"The Tianyi Sect is now in your hands. Select a new sect leader as soon as possible." Fang Ruotang was not bothered by their silence.

Knowing to some extent that they were not used to it, he went ahead and gave the orders.

Gu Yanjin and his group of six heard this sentence as they followed.

I stood in a corner, feeling slightly unsettled.

However, the powerful aura of the six still attracted the attention of the elders.

Compared to Fang Ruotang, who tried to keep a low profile, these six people were noticeably more flamboyant, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that they had changed more.

Fang Ruotang transformed into the Heavenly Dao, and all the elders felt that any changes she made were perfectly reasonable, especially since they already knew about Fang Ruotang's origins.

Furthermore, Fang Ruotang disappeared for three months before returning.

But these six people were different; some people had even seen them just yesterday.

They weren't like this yesterday.

"you……"

Why is it suddenly so powerful?

Gu Yanjin and the other six did not respond, but merely glanced at them indifferently before shifting their attention back to Fang Ruotang.

He even frowned in dissatisfaction, feeling that these people were being unreasonable.

How could you jungle while Fang Ruotang was speaking? You weren't listening to Fang Ruotang properly!

They are utterly fearless.

When the six of them thought about it, their emotions were also brought out.

The atmosphere changed instantly, and a terrifying aura swept over the elders.

The elders instinctively raised their spiritual power to resist, and Fang Ruotang frowned slightly upon seeing this, and the hall immediately returned to calm.

Gu Yanjin and the other six looked like children who had done something wrong, bowing their heads and waiting for Fang Ruotang's scolding, while the other elders looked like they were still in shock.

In just a moment, his back was soaked with sweat.

They don't understand.

They didn't even know what had happened.

Fang Ruotang rubbed her forehead and said helplessly, "Please forgive me, my husband is being unreasonable."

Gu Yanjin and the other six suddenly looked up, staring at Fang Ruotang with surprise, each of them grinning foolishly.

What did Fang Ruotang call them?

Husband?

So, Fang Ruotang accepts their marriage agreement in this lifetime?

The happiest person among them was Ye Wuxia, because in his eyes, only he was legitimate, while the other five were nothing more than mistresses who could not be brought to light.

Therefore, he stubbornly believed that the "husband" was being called to him.

"I just regained my strength and couldn't control myself very well. I won't do it again next time." Ye Wuxia said, admitting her mistake, but her gaze softened as she looked at Fang Ruotang.

"No, no!"

The elders spoke up one by one; they had figured it out.

The world has changed.

Not only was the sect leader of extraordinary origin, but the six men who had always been by her side were also remarkable.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Otherwise, how could they be qualified to stay by the sect leader's side?

"I will be leaving this realm soon. You should select a sect leader to succeed me as soon as possible." After saying this, Fang Ruotang remembered what she had promised and continued.

"At the same time, I will connect the passage between this world and the spirit world. The spiritual energy in the spirit world is more abundant, which will be more beneficial to your cultivation. You can decide for yourselves whether to stay or leave."

"However, even if the power of the laws wants to stay, it won't last long. It will soon be driven out of this world, where the highest cultivation level is only the Nascent Soul stage."

Fang Ruotang has just taken control of this realm, and the rules are still in their early stages. In addition, the Spirit Realm has not yet been opened up, and even if it were, it would not be possible to send everyone away in an instant.

There will definitely be a time, and that time will be used to allow the elders of Tianyi Sect to settle the sect's follow-up matters.
