Chapter 588: Chapter 299: True Monarch Jing Yun_3
 

“During his Foundation Building Realm, he frequently helped with Sect affairs and has inherited the Green Jade Treasure Mirror, making him an excellent choice.”

As of now, within the entire Sect, only the four of them were the earliest to break through to the Golden Core Realm. His wife, Qi Jing Yu, intended to travel with him. Li Yuan Qing, with his sharp nature, was unsuited to serve as the Sect’s Master, as it requires interacting with various other Sects.

Gold Sword True Monarch nodded lightly, “True Person Yu Cheng, indeed is the most suitable candidate. Little Yi, and Yuan Qing, your lifespan is running short, you must strive harder. Jing Yun, you too mustn’t lag behind; you have to keep up with Yun Feng’s pace.”

Among the remaining three disciples, Lin Yi was the most likely to break through the Realm. For the remaining Qi Jing Yu, less than a hundred years of life is left. Li Yuan Qing achieved his Golden Core at the age of two hundred and thirty plus. Now, more than a hundred and eighty years had passed; he had less than a hundred years left, with no possibility of transcending the Golden Core to reach the Nascent Soul Realm.

Lin Yi achieved his Golden Core earlier, with a hundred and forty years left of his lifespan. Furthermore, his Realm had reached the seventh stage of the Golden Core, providing him a pretty high chance of success.

“Yes, Master,” Lin Yi and the others responded simultaneously with a bow.

Subsequently, the Liu Yun Sect held a grand celebration on Liu Yun Peak to mark Zhou Yun Feng officially becoming Nascent Soul True Monarch. Congratulatory representatives from all the significant Sects arrived, with none from the Path of Demonic Sects being invited, as was the case all along.

Lord Jade Illusion from the Sun Moon Divine Sect also arrived to give their congratulations. Lin Yi calmly exchanged a few words with him, limiting their contact to a minimum.

Following the end of the ceremony, Zhou Yun Feng formally stepped down from his position as Sect Master. True Person Yu Cheng of Green Jade Peak then took over and left Liu Yun Sect together with Qi Jing Yu to roam around the Cultivation World.

The current Liu Yun Sect is not something any Sect could mess with peevishly. Naturally, they were not fearful of a situation like that of True Lord Xuan Qing, where he was besieged by the Demonic Path’s True Monarchs.

Lin Yi went back into seclusion but would still emerge periodically to lecture and cultivate enlightenment for Xu Yu Rou and a few outstanding disciples.

So time passed, gradually throughout a hundred years, Qi Jing Yu and Li Yuan Qing passed away peacefully without consuming Longevity Pills when their lifespan depleted. They were buried at the main Liu Yun Peak. Only those of the Golden Core and excellent Foundation Building Disciples are given such treatment.

Meanwhile, inside Liu Yun Sect, four disciples from separate peaks achieved the Golden Core Realm, precisely established by the four disciples of Golden Sword Peak. Lin Yi’s Yun Yi Peak now had a second Golden Core Real Expert.

His title as a senior teacher upgraded to Spirit Rank, thus increasing the enlightenment gain, which in turn significantly improved Xu Yu Rou’s cultivation speed. Her cultivation had already reached Golden Core Consummation.

As for him, only forty years were left of his life. Xu Yu Rou had ninety years left.

Some decades ago, Lin Yi started to feign birthing a fledgling Nascent Soul after reaching Golden Core Consummation, acting as part of his death plan.

Over the years, Xu Yu Rou’s enlightenment under his guidance continually grew to such extents that it surpassed even Supreme-grade Spirit Roots. She too began nurturing an embryonic Nascent Soul.

The new Golden Core on Yun Yi Peak desired to stay, like Xu Yu Rou, to help further grow and develop Yun Yi Peak but was rejected by Lin Yi, redirected to a different peak.

In comparison, the True Monarch Jing Yun of the Liu Yun Sect, Zhou Yun Feng, was not disheartened after Qi Jing Yu’s passing. He remained stationed at Jing Yun Peak and Phoenix Jade Peak, teaching the disciples of both peaks.

At the same time, he frequently visited Lin Yi, pushing him to not slack off, to use every moment for Cultivation, and kept reminding him of the agreement they had.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi couldn’t go through with the agreement to stay another five hundred years in the Lower Realm after Liu Yun Sect reached the Nascent Soul Realm. He needed to prepare for his ascension to the Upper Realm.

Meanwhile, at the Sun Moon Divine Sect, two Golden Core Real Persons failed to break through their Realm, ultimately meeting their end. Qiu Shui Zen Ren, a seemingly cold woman with a gentle heart, was one of them.

Lin Yi held a funeral for both Golden Core Real Persons, burying them on Sun Moon Peak.

Qing Su Zen Ren of Medicine God Valley, on the other hand, birthed a fledgling Nascent Soul and was slowly cultivating it to become stronger.

The present-day Sun Moon Divine Sect had established itself as the number one Sect, with two Nascent Soul True Monarchs, fifteen Golden Core Real Persons, and over thirteen hundred Foundation Building cultivators.
