Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

79: Chapter 79: Years of planning finally come to fruition!The next day, Azure Wave Sect.

The Great Discussion Hall.

Su Wanyue sat at the head of the hall, with all the Cultivators of the Golden Core Stage and above from the Azure Wave Sect below.

Youhun stood to one side, his expression calm.

”I have summoned everyone here today to announce something.” Su Wanyue spoke, her gaze sweeping across the crowd.

”I have decided to pass the position of Sect Master to Youhun.”

The hall fell silent.

A low murmur of discussion immediately arose.

But soon, the murmuring stopped.

No one stood up to oppose it.

The reason was simple: they could not oppose it.

Youhun was currently the only Cultivator of the Nascent Soul Stage in the Sect.

Furthermore, his background was clear; he was a Disciple brought up from the Nanming No. 73 Mortal Realm.

Most importantly, as Youhun stood there, although his Qi was restrained, that faint, imperceptible Aura made everyone present feel a vague... indescribable sense of oppression.

Jumping out to oppose him at a time like this would just be asking for trouble, wouldn’t it?

Seeing that no one opposed, Su Wanyue nodded and took out the token representing the status of Sect Master, handing it to Youhun personally.

”From this day forth, you are the Sect Master of the Azure Wave Sect.”

Youhun accepted it and bowed: ”This Disciple obeys.”

The ceremony was very simple, even somewhat hasty.

After the handover was complete, Su Wanyue was just preparing to slip away to find the Pill Furnace she had been longing for, when an Elder suddenly spoke up.

”Sect Master, oh no, Sect Master Youhun, this old man has something to say.”

Youhun looked at him: ”Speak.”

The Elder cupped his hands and said: ”The Sect Master hails from the Nanming No. 73 Mortal Realm, and now, in just a short hundred years, has stepped into the Nascent Soul Stage.”

”This shows that that world perhaps holds great promise.”

”This old man believes that our Azure Wave Sect should continue to send Disciples to that Mortal Realm to recruit widely; perhaps we could obtain a few more individuals with exceptional talent.”

As soon as these words were spoken, several Elders nodded one after another, feeling it made sense.

Youhun did not speak.

He just looked at that Elder.

His gaze was calm.

But that Elder inexplicably felt a chill down his back.

”What is your name?” Youhun asked.

The Elder was taken aback and subconsciously replied: ”This old man... this old man’s surname is Zhou, and my given name is Yuan.”

Youhun nodded and withdrew his gaze.

”Elder Zhou’s words are indeed reasonable.”

Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

But with the next sentence, he held his breath again.

”However,” Youhun said indifferently.

”That Mortal Realm will be under my personal responsibility from now on. Anyone who wishes to go there to recruit Disciples must obtain my permission.”

”Those who enter without permission will be treated as traitors to the Sect.”

Traitors to the Sect?

Once these four words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

This punishment was too severe.

It was only a Mortal Realm, was it really necessary?

Several Elders looked at each other, and some wanted to open their mouths to say something.

But Youhun just raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping across the crowd.

That Aura quietly spread out.

Although it was clearly only the Qi of the Early Stage Nascent Soul, it caused everyone present, including several of the Late Golden Core Stage, to feel a palpitation.

This Aura was not at all like what a newly ascended Nascent Soul Cultivator should have.

The hall was deathly silent.

No one dared to say another word.

Su Wanyue also glanced at Youhun with some surprise.

This kid, how is his Aura even stronger than the two Old Ancestors of the Late Nascent Soul Stage?

But she quickly withdrew her gaze and didn’t take it to heart.

Everyone has their own secrets; she couldn’t be bothered to ask.

She took a jade talisman from her bosom and handed it to Youhun.

”This is the Sword Talisman left by Senior Zhou Ziyang back then, containing three full-strength strikes of the Void Refining Second Stage. Now that you have succeeded as Sect Master, this item should rightfully belong to you.”

Youhun looked down at it.

He naturally recognized that Sword Talisman.

Ten years ago, when Zhou Ziyang left, he personally handed it to Su Wanyue, and he had seen the whole thing.

”This item should still be kept by Revered Master personally,” Youhun said.

Su Wanyue was startled: ”I don’t need it.”

”This Disciple doesn’t need it either. Revered Master studies Alchemy and often moves around within the Sect; occasionally going out to seek medicine or visit friends, it is inevitable to encounter danger. Keeping this item for Revered Master’s self-defense is more useful than keeping it with this Disciple.”

Su Wanyue opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

Youhun continued: ”Besides, this Disciple is now stationed in the Sect and will not be going out for a short time. If a strong enemy really comes to invade, this Disciple will naturally handle it. Revered Master, just keep this Sword Talisman.”

”Alright, then I will keep it.”

Su Wanyue did not decline.

Youhun nodded and looked at the people present again.

”Today’s business ends here. If you all have nothing else, you may disperse.”

The Elders, as if granted amnesty, bowed and withdrew one after another.

A moment later, only Youhun and Su Wanyue remained in the hall.

Su Wanyue put away the Sword Talisman and stretched, not caring at all about her image.

”Alright, the Sect Master position has been handed over to you, I’m going to do Alchemy. Don’t come looking for me if there’s nothing, and especially don’t come looking for me if there is something.”

After speaking, she turned and left.

Youhun watched her back gradually fade away, and after a long while, he lowered his eyes to look at the token representing the Sect Master in his hand.

A jade plaque, engraved with the two characters ’Bibo’.

Holding it in his hand, it was light, without any weight.

But this thing represented the entire Azure Wave Sect.

After many years of planning, the first step had finally been achieved.

Next, it was time to maintain the status quo, secretly accumulate power, and develop in a low-profile manner.

From now on, the Azure Wave Sect in the Spirit Realm would be the first line of defense for the Nanming No. 73 Mortal Realm.

That world would no longer have any people coming down from above to harvest the Mortals there like crops.
