"Isn't it the same if your disciple becomes the sect leader?"
Tong Yuhai couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.
In short, now that Si Jinyan has become the sect leader, they still have to abide by this rule in front of the public.
"I was just sparring, how did I become the sect leader?"
Si Jinyan looked at the jade ruyi symbolizing the sect leader and shook her head repeatedly in refusal.
The responsibility of being the sect leader is too great; how could her frail shoulders bear it?
"Jinyan, you shall take over. This position of sect leader requires formidable strength. The daily affairs are handled by the elders below."
Seeing her conflicted expression, Jiang Chuming knew what she was worried about.
He knew his own apprentice well.
She's good at fighting and catching ghosts, but managing mundane affairs would be the death of her.
"Really?"
Si Jinyan was somewhat skeptical. Her master had just tricked her, and the result was that they were competing for the position of sect leader.
"It's true."
Xu Wenfeng said, holding the jade ruyi.
This jade ruyi is translucent and as long as an arm; it looks very valuable.
Si Jinyan was now forced into this situation and had no choice but to accept the jade ruyi.
"Oh well."
In the presence of all the Taoist disciples, Si Jinyan picked up the jade ruyi.
The jade ruyi in her hand emitted endless emerald light, soaring directly into the sky.
This spectacle drew gasps of amazement from the crowd.
For a century, the Taoist sect has not elected a leader who excels in all five branches.
It's truly a joyous occasion that they have the opportunity to witness the birth of a new generation of sect leader.
"From now on, please lead us, Sect Leader, to wipe out the Bright Moon Cult and restore peace and order to this world."
"Welcome, Sect Master!"
Xu Wenfeng bowed slightly to Si Jinyan, while the Taoist priest behind him bowed ninety degrees.
"Welcome, Sect Master!"
"Welcome, Sect Master!"
The sound traveled from the clouds to the mountains and reached the heavens.
Si Jinyan held the warm jade ruyi in her hand, and the Yin energy in her body was being transformed by the jade ruyi.
This is amazing.
It seems that this jade ruyi was made for her.
Her power became increasingly refined, and suddenly a vast aura shot straight into the sky from her body.
"Oh my god!"
They had never heard of such a cultivation feat before, and they all stared at Si Jinyan with their mouths agape.
The blue light lasted for a full three minutes before slowly dissipating.
Si Jinyan raised his hand again, suddenly feeling incredibly powerful.
It seems to have the power to overwhelm mountains and seas.
A look of relief appeared in Jiang Chumian's eyes, "The Fairy Qinglian has finally returned."
He has also fulfilled his responsibilities as the abbot of Lingxu Temple.
I recall the divination my master left behind when he ascended to immortality.
He dedicated his entire life to this cause.
He exhausted his cultivation to pull Si Jinyan back from the brink of death.
Everything he did was to fulfill his master's last wish.
This catastrophe is about to unfold.
Only the former Fairy Qinglian could quell the calamity.
"It's time to pay homage to the Taoist patriarch."
Xu Wenfeng looked at the sky and addressed the crowd.
The statue of the Taoist patriarch is located at the top of Yunjian Mountain. After passing through the main hall, you still need to climb ninety-nine steps.
As Si Jinyan stepped through the main hall, he saw a white jade-like statue standing atop Yunjian Mountain.
Apart from the stone steps in front of him, all around him were bottomless cliffs.
She caught her breath, her heart churning with turmoil.
Holding a sword in one hand and a talisman in the other, he seemed poised for ascension.
The immense and powerful aura caused everyone's hearts to tremble.
The Taoist patriarch, with his pure white body, looked upon everything in this world with compassion and empathy.
His face was androgynous, and his gender was unknown.
But it's clear that he's a man of extraordinary appearance.
This is the patriarch of the Taoist school!
The exquisite carving technique impressed Si Jinyan.
Even the strands of hair floating in the air are sculpted with lifelike detail.
I wonder which great being placed this statue atop Yunjian Mountain.
Such power is probably beyond the reach of even immortals; no wonder they chose to establish the headquarters of the Taoist sect at Yunjian Mountain.
"Greetings, Ancestor!"
Not everyone can climb to the top of these steps; only those of higher status can ascend.
And the person standing at the very top at this moment was Si Jinyan.
She looked up at the statue, a sense of familiarity welling up within her, but a touch of sadness also rose in her heart.
A tear couldn't help but flow from the corner of her eye. She was a little surprised that she was crying, so she reached out to wipe it away, but the tears just kept flowing.
She felt as if she had seen this woman in a dream.
That's the woman in the flames.
Fragments of memories slowly surfaced in her mind.
After everyone paid their respects to the ancestor, the people below began to leave one by one.
"Sect Master?"
Seeing that Si Jinyan hadn't moved for a long time, Xu Wenfeng couldn't help but call out.
She's been holding this pose for a long time.
Jiang Chumian shook her head when she saw that Si Jinyan seemed to be in a meditative state.
"Let's go back first."
At this moment, Si Jinyan's soul was no longer here.
A scene spanning ten thousand years appeared before her eyes.
A creature born from the deepest purgatory of all evil.
He rose from that abyss, for due to his overwhelmingly powerful calamity constitution, he had been trapped in the Infernal Purgatory for thousands of years.
