However, after experiencing the Dao Stone incident, Yuan Zhexian's heart became incredibly firm.

Because this not only concerns the fate of all living beings, but also involves his family, loved ones, and friends.

So, in that instant, Yuan Zhexian's expression became exceptionally resolute. Without hesitation, he said to Yuan Shi and Yuan Tong, "Ancestor, distant ancestor, no matter what, I will do my utmost to stop this catastrophe."

His voice was strong and clear, as if it contained boundless determination and courage.

Then he continued, "I want to restore peace to the universe and all living beings!"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi and Yuantong burst into laughter.

Their laughter revealed their immense satisfaction and delight with Yuan Zhexian.

Clearly, they were very pleased with Yuan Zhexian's firm stance.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Tong said, "Now that the Investiture of the Gods has officially begun, after discussions between Yuan Shi and me, we have decided to grant you the title of Vice Leader of the Jie Sect."

Yuan Tong continued, "You are free to interfere in the Investiture of the Gods."

"Don't worry, we've got you covered!"

"If anyone were to disrupt the Investiture of the Gods, it would be an act of tampering with the secrets of Heaven."

"All of these are part of the Heavenly Dao and will inevitably suffer the backlash of countless eons."

"In this way, the Heavenly Dao will inevitably be in great trouble."

Finally, Yuan Tong gave Yuan Zhexian a meaningful look and said, "And this gives Hongjun a chance to temporarily take over the main body."

"As for how you will participate in this battle for the gods, that's entirely up to you."

Yuan Zhexian stood there, pondering in his heart how to deal with Hongjun's matter, but no matter how hard he thought, he could not find a good starting point.

At this moment, Yuanshi and Yuantong had already come up with a solution for him.

Yuan Zhexian was overjoyed. He quickly bowed and clasped his hands in thanks to Yuanshi and Yuantong: "This immortal thanks the progenitor and the distant ancestor for their guidance!"

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Tong smiled and said to Yuan Zhexian, "Zhexian, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you. This Chaos Treasure is called the Source Seal of All Beings."

As he spoke, he pointed to the space created by the Chaos Treasure.

"This Source Seal of All Beings has a very peculiar effect, namely, the speed at which time and space pass inside is different from that outside."

"A hundred years inside is only a day outside."

Yuan Tong explained in detail.

Upon hearing this news, Yuan Zhexian's eyes lit up immediately, realizing that this was an excellent opportunity for cultivation.

Yuan Tong immediately said, "Take this opportunity to cultivate properly within this Source Seal of All Beings."

Without hesitation, Yuan Zhexian sat cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes, and began to concentrate on his cultivation.

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Yuan Zhexian slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, the magical power around him had condensed to the point of being almost tangible, emanating a terrifying aura that made people's hearts tremble.

His realm was already infinitely close to that of a saint, and he was only one step away from breaking through that threshold.

Seeing that Yuan Zhexian had finished his cultivation, Yuan Tong immediately said, "Alright, we've stayed in this Source Seal of All Beings long enough."

"To avoid arousing suspicion, let's hurry up and get out of here."

Yuan Tong continued.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian nodded without hesitation, indicating his agreement.

After exiting the Source Seal Space of All Beings, Yuan Tong's voice instantly reverberated throughout the entire Golden Turtle Island.

"Today, I formally appoint Hua Yuan as the Vice Leader of my Jie Sect, in charge of all affairs of the Jie Sect!"

The voice was like a thunderclap, startling all the disciples of the Jie Sect on Jin'ao Island. They had no idea what had happened.

However, after only a moment, everyone came to their senses, clasped their hands and knelt down in the direction of Biyou Palace, shouting in unison, "We will obey our master's orders!"

At the same time, Yuan Zhexian's figure appeared in the void of Jin'ao Island like a ghost.

Upon seeing this, everyone quickly bowed and clasped their hands, shouting in unison, "Greetings, Vice Leader!"

Yuan Zhexian looked at the crowd below expressionlessly. He slowly raised his hand, and a powerful magical force surged out like a torrent.

Wherever this magical power passed, all the disciples of the Jie Sect who were worshipping were gently lifted up.

This was not Yuan Zhexian showing off his strength, but rather a form of intimidation.

He wanted to use this method to tell everyone in the Jie Sect that his position as the vice leader was well-deserved and beyond question.

In an instant, the entire Jin'ao Island fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone was shocked by the terrifying strength displayed by Yuan Zhexian. They stared wide-eyed at the new vice leader with disbelief.

Even a quasi-saint like Daoist Duobao couldn't help but feel a sense of shock.

He never imagined that Yuan Zhexian's strength would be so terrifying, far exceeding his expectations.

He even lamented that as the chief disciple of the Jie Sect, he was certainly inferior to this deputy leader.

Golden Spirit Mother was overjoyed. She never expected that Yuan Zhexian's trip would not only not be a bad thing, but that he would also be appointed as the vice leader by her master.

Just then, Yuan Zhexian displayed his powerful magic and addressed all the disciples of the Jie Sect on Jin'ao Island in an extremely serious tone: "The matter of conferring the gods is now imminent. All disciples of the Jie Sect, listen to my command."

"No one, without my and the leader's permission, is allowed to leave Jin'ao Island for at least ten years!"

"Those who disobey this order will be permanently expelled from the Jie Sect!"
