Chapter 615: Receiving the Sect Master Seal

Jiang Yun, at this moment, listening to Dao Tianyou’s words, felt like he had turned back into the young boy from the countryside when he first arrived at the Seeking-Tao Sect.

Jiang Yun realized that he knew nothing about his grandfather’s origins, the secrets of the Mountain-Sea World, or even the sect that had given him cultivation and set him on the path of cultivation.

Who could have imagined that within the Mountain-Sea World, the Seeking-Tao Sect, one of the five major sects, was just one of thousands of branch sects, and a second-tier sect with almost the weakest overall strength.

Only by becoming a ninth-tier sect could they qualify to merge with the Main Sect. How strong must the Main Sect be?

With his limited perspective and imagination, Jiang Yun couldn’t even begin to imagine it.

Dao Tianyou, unfazed by Jiang Yun’s shock, continued, "I am a core disciple of the Main Seeking-Tao Sect. After reaching a certain level of cultivation, I must travel outside, complete tasks as a form of assessment, and only by passing these assessments can I gain a higher position within the Main Sect."

"My task is to leave my body with a soul, come to this Mountain-Sea World, support the Seeking-Tao Sect here, and help it grow and develop, at least by two levels. So, I came here and became the sect master of the Seeking-Tao Sect."

"The Main Sect assigns a Tao Guardian to protect all core disciples going on missions. My Tao Guardian is your master, Gu Bulao!"

Jiang Yun was once again shocked. Not just him, but everyone in the Seeking-Tao Sect had no idea what the relationship between Gu Bulao and Dao Tianyou truly was.

It turns out, Gu Bulao is Dao Tianyou’s Tao Guardian. He came here to protect Dao Tianyou, which is why he holds a superior position in the Seeking-Tao Sect, despite being alone at Hidden Peak.

Thinking this, Jiang Yun hurriedly asked, "sect master, what about my master?"

Up to now, Jiang Yun still doesn’t know where his master and senior martial sister have gone.

"Don’t worry, let me finish!"

Dao Tianyou waved his hand and said, "As a Tao Guardian, their duties are somewhat similar to a Realm Master. Besides protecting me, they cannot interfere in the sects or anything in the worlds of the sects."

"Even if a sect is destroyed, as long as I am safe, the Tao Guardian cannot act."

"If they intervene, they would be breaking the sect’s rules and face punishment from the Main Sect."

"Of course, your teacher who is fearless and dauntless, completely disregarded these rules. For example, taking you as his student already broke the rules."

"Not to mention, to protect you, your teacher intervened secretly several times."

Jiang Yun’s body shook heavily, a warm feeling rushing through his heart. He realized that his teacher had been protecting him behind the scenes all along.

"However, not long ago, when you were still in Mirage, a powerful outsider arrived at the Mountain-Sea World."

"Due to his high cultivation level, his presence would be too much for the Mountain-Sea World to bear. It might not only collapse but also trigger the early arrival of the Calamity of the Mountain-Sea World."

"Therefore, your teacher intervened and drove the person away. However, his actions were a bit excessive this time, likely to attract attention from the Main Sect and jeopardize my mission, leaving the Seeking-Tao Sect to fend for itself. Hence, he had to leave early."

Jiang Yun finally understood and said, "sect master, are you saying that my teacher has returned to the Seeking-Tao Heaven where the Main Sect is?"

Dao Tianyou sighed and shook his head with a wry smile, "I don’t know. Although your teacher is referred to as my Tao Guardian, his status in the Main Sect is as special as it is here. Despite his eccentric temperament, even the Main Sect sect master treats him with great respect."

"Honestly, when I heard he was going to be my Tao Guardian back then, I could hardly believe it. So, whether he has returned to Seeking-Tao Heaven, I do not know."

"But one thing I can be sure of, your master will not be in any danger, because so far, I don’t know how strong he is!"

Even though not even Dao Tianyou knew where the master had gone, his last sentence finally eased Jiang Yun’s heart.

As long as the master is safe!

After a moment of pondering, Jiang Yun said, "Sect master, I think the master might have gone to Dao Ruins."

"Dao Ruins?"

However, to Jiang Yun’s surprise, Dao Tianyou frowned and asked, "Where is Dao Ruins? Did your master tell you about it?"

Jiang Yun was surprised that even Dao Tianyou didn’t know where Dao Ruins was.

"I don’t know either. It was the master who told the senior brothers to remember this place, so my senior brother and I guessed that the master may have gone to Dao Ruins."

Dao Tianyou shook his head again, saying, "I have never heard of Dao Ruins, but that’s okay. The world outside is vast, far beyond our imagination. Since your master asked you to remember this place, maybe he did go there. When I return to the Main Sect, I will inquire about it for you."

Jiang Yun nodded and asked, "Are my senior martial siblings still inside Mountain-Sea World?"

Hearing this question, Dao Tianyou hesitated visibly and remained silent for a moment before saying, "They have also left Mountain-Sea World to search for your master!"

"That’s impossible!" Jiang Yun stood up immediately.

Jiang Yun believed that his master could leave Mountain-Sea World due to his immense power, but he couldn’t understand how his senior martial siblings, even if they were powerful, could leave the Mountain-Sea World, not even in the Sky Blessed Realm where the divine power exists.

Dao Tianyou sighed and said, "I am not lying to you. There are some things that I can’t tell you now, but if you continue to cultivate diligently and improve your skills, you will surely have the chance to see them again in the future!"

Jiang Yun silently nodded, understanding that Dao Tianyou sharing these facts with him was already a rare occurrence. There must be a reason why Dao Tianyou didn’t mention about his senior martial siblings.

"Also, before your master left, he asked me to tell you that he didn’t fulfill any of the two requests you made to him. He is ashamed to face you."

"You will always be his disciple!"

"Master!"

Jiang Yun felt his nose tingle and looked up at the sky. Even though he couldn’t see where his master was, he could feel that just like his grandfather, his master always cared for him.

"Okay, I’ve told you everything about the Seeking-Tao Sect. My ‘death’ is not really death, but a return to the Main Sect, so you don’t need to be sad."

"Chiming bells!"

Suddenly, Dao Tianyou raised his voice like thunder, making Jiang Yun’s eardrums vibrate, leaving him puzzled. He looked at Dao Tianyou.

"Dong dong dong!"

At that moment, melodious bell chimes rang out, spreading throughout the Seeking-Tao Sect. All the disciples in the sect, feeling confused, hurried to the sect’s square.

Soon, all the disciples gathered in the square, and Dao Tianyou gritted his teeth and stood up, saying to Jiang Yun, "Jiang Yun, come with me to the square!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Yun knew that Dao Tianyou was about to leave, and before he left, there must be something he needed to explain to all the disciples of the Seeking-Tao Sect.

So, Dao Tianyou was in front, Jiang Yun was behind, and the two of them appeared on the square, then the bell finally stopped ringing.

Dao Tianyou took a deep breath, his eyes filled with authority scanned all the disciples below, he cleared his throat and said softly, "Jiang Yun!"

Jiang Yun bowed and said, "Disciple is here!"

Dao Tianyou loudly said, "Receive Sect Master Seal!"
