Chapter 616: Meeting the Sect Master

Hearing Dao Tianyou’s words, and seeing a golden square seal appear on Dao Tianyou’s hands, all the Seeking-Tao Sect disciples showed expressions of shock.

As for Jiang Yun, he was completely stunned!

He never imagined that before Dao Tianyou left, he would pass on the position of Seeking-Tao Sect sect master to him!

He even doubted whether Dao Tianyou was joking!

Even though I’ve been a member of the sect for ten years, I’ve only spent about one or two years there in total. How could I become the sect master of the Seeking-Tao Sect?

"Jiang Yun, please take the Sect Master Seal!"

However, Dao Tianyou spoke again with a serious expression, looking directly at Jiang Yun, showing no signs of joking.

Jiang Yun finally came back to his senses and hesitantly shook his head, saying, "Sect master, I…"

Before he could finish speaking, Dao Tianyou interrupted, "Jiang Yun, do you feel like you’re not qualified to be the sect master of the Seeking-Tao Sect?"

"Yes!" Jiang Yun nodded, "Among the disciples in the sect, I lack experience and am young. Many others are more suitable to be the sect master of our sect."

"Oh?" Dao Tianyou laughed and asked, "Can you tell me who is more suitable than you?"

Jiang Yun quickly looked at Lan Huazhao and the group of Peak Lords and elders nearby, saying, "They are all more suitable than me."

Dao Tianyou’s smile grew wider, "What if I tell you that all those you think are more suitable than you actually support you to be the sect master of our sect? How would you feel?"

Jiang Yun was speechless, his mouth open but unable to say a word, while Lan Huazhao and the others in the distance all smiled and nodded gently at him.

It was clear that Dao Tianyou’s decision to pass the title of sect master to Jiang Yun was not his own idea. He consulted all the Peak Lords and elders before making the final decision.

Dao Tianyou turned his gaze away from Jiang Yun’s face and looked down at the many disciples below, and said loudly, "Do you all think that Jiang Yun is qualified to become the sect master of my Seeking-Tao Sect?"

After exchanging glances with each other, the many disciples all responded loudly and unanimously, "Yes!"

In terms of strength and reputation, Jiang Yun was no less than the Peak Lords and elders. He definitely had the qualifications to become the sect master of the Seeking-Tao Sect, so there was no objection from anyone within the Sect.

Upon hearing the response from the many disciples, Dao Tianyou then turned to Jiang Yun and said, "Jiang Yun, I know that making you the sect master of our sect at this time is not a good thing for you, but rather a burden."

"However, from the day you chose to join my Seeking-Tao Sect, from the moment you became a member of our sect, your destiny and the destiny of the Seeking-Tao Sect have been connected."

"Jiang Yun, do you remember what I told you when your master asked me to pass on The Human Tao technique to you?"

Jiang Yun nodded and said, "I remember!"

Because he remembered well, Jiang Yun rushed back to Seeking-Tao Sect when there was trouble.

Dao Tianyou raised his voice again, saying, "Speak up loud!"

Jiang Yun took a deep breath and said slowly, "When I am in danger, the sect will protect me at any cost. If the sect is in trouble, even if I am far away, I will rush back to help!"

"From now on, as long as Seeking-Tao Sect exists, I exist; if Seeking-Tao Sect perishes, I die!"

Dao Tianyou then asked, "How did you respond at that moment?"

After a moment of silence, Jiang Yun lifted his head, clasped his hands together, with a serious expression, and bowed deeply to Dao Tianyou, saying, "Disciple Jiang Yun will always follow the teachings of the sect master. From now on, whether alive or dead, I belong to Seeking-Tao Sect!"

"Jiang Yun, receive the Sect Master Seal!"

At this point, Jiang Yun knew he couldn’t refuse. With a firm bite of his teeth, he respectfully walked up to Dao Tianyou, opened his hands, and allowed Dao Tianyou to place the Sect Master Seal in his hands.

The Sect Master Seal, which seemed light, felt heavier than anything in Jiang Yun’s hands at that moment.

He knew that when he accepted the seal, he wasn’t just taking on a symbol, but the entire Seeking-Tao Sect, and the lives of all the disciples within the sect!

Dao Tianyou took a deep breath and said, "Although today’s ceremony for the new sect master is simple, from this moment on, you, Jiang Yun, are the thirty-sixth sect master of our Mountain-Sea Seeking-Tao Sect!"

As Jiang Yun raised the Sect Master Seal in his hands, all the disciples in the square suddenly knelt down, bowing deeply to Jiang Yun and saying in unison, "Greetings, sect master!"

Not far away, Elder Lan Huazhao and other elders walked up to Jiang Yun and also bowed deeply, saying, "Greetings, sect master!"

Even Dao Tianyou, with a solemn expression, bowed deeply to Jiang Yun and said, "Greetings, sect master!"

All their voices came together, creating a magnificent sound that shook the heavens, causing even the thick clouds that had been present for years to part slightly, allowing a ray of sunlight to shine down on Jiang Yun, on all the people of the Seeking-Tao Sect, and on the entire sect.

Watching the golden sunlight and feeling the warmth, Dao Tianyou squinted his eyes slightly and softly said, "Fortune has arrived!"

In the Desolate World, most beings cannot see or feel the presence of fortune, but as a core disciple of the Main Sect and a soul who had come to the Mountain-Sea World, Dao Tianyou could sense it.

He understood the importance of fortune even more clearly.

Inside the Main Seeking-Tao Sect, there was a talented disciple who had been blessed with good luck since birth.

The experiences of this talented disciple were so strange that they could be described as unbelievable.

Not only was he naturally gifted with a strong ability for cultivation, he faced no obstacles on his path to enlightenment. Every breakthrough came naturally to him, and it was said that he could find ancient treasures just by bending down.

He had now become the top disciple within the Main Sect, and it was highly likely that he would become the next sect master without any surprises.

The title of Main Sect sect master was far superior to being a sect master of the Mountain-Sea World Seeking-Tao Sect. The Main Sect was one of the Nine Great Dao Sects in the Tao World, showing the vast difference between the two positions.

"What does he want? He’s just ruining his own mood for no reason!"

Dao Tianyou shook his head self-deprecatingly and said, "Although my mission failed, with the blessing of good luck in the Seeking-Tao Sect and Jiang Yun as the sect master, we will surely become stronger in the future! We might even be able to return to the Main Sect!"

The effects of the good luck that Jiang Yun brought back from the Mirage might not be apparent in the Seeking-Tao Sect now, but as time passes, they will gradually become evident to everyone.

After the cheers of the many disciples died down, Dao Tianyou turned to the crowd below and said, "Alright, I have something to discuss with the new sect master. You all can go your separate ways now!"

"Yes!"

After all the disciples, elders, and Peak Lord had left, Dao Tianyou suddenly swayed, luckily Jiang Yun reacted quickly and reached out to support him.

Dao Tianyou smiled bitterly and said, "Help me to Hidden Peak, I still have a few last things to tell you, especially about the strongest heritage of our sect!"
