A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 327

Chapter 327 Lin Yahuan’s Departure

“Everyone, starting from today, I, Lin Yahuan, will step down from my position as Sect Master of the Sky Martial Sect. Wu Shengna will take over as the new Sect Master.”

While Tang Yan was on his way to bring Wu Shengna, Lin Yahuan had already gathered the Elders of the Sky Martial Sect in the Sect Grand Hall as Sect Master.

Upon hearing Lin Yahuan’s announcement, some Elders who had only recently been promoted to their position showed anxious expressions.

“Sect Master, what is going on? Why do you want to step down from your post?”

Before Lin Yahuan could respond, the Great Elder of the Sky Martial Sect spoke up, addressing her directly.

“Sect Master, there is only one thing I want to ask. If anything happens to the Sky Martial Sect, will you come back?”

Some of the sect’s veterans were aware of the promise between Lin Yahuan and Wu Yidao, so after hearing of Wu Shengna’s Ascension, they had naturally anticipated this moment.

Hearing this, Lin Yahuan fell silent for a moment, then looked up with utmost seriousness and said,

“Yes. If anything happens to the Sky Martial Sect, I will definitely intervene. But as you all know, if anything does happen, I wouldn’t need to take action—he will come back on his own.”Although Lin Yahuan did not explicitly say it, the Elders of the Sky Martial Sect all knew exactly who “he” was that she referred to.

After receiving the answer they wanted, the Great Elder led the Elders of the Sky Martial Sect in a deeply respectful bow to Lin Yahuan and said in a solemn tone,

“Farewell to the Sect Master!”

“Farewell to the Sect Master!”

“Everyone, if fate allows, we will meet again in the jianghu (martial world).”

Lin Yahuan felt a bit reluctant inside as well, but she was very clear about her goal. To keep up with him, she had to leave the Sky Martial Sect.

By the time Tang Yan returned to the Sky Martial Sect with Wu Shengna, he saw many Elders gathered inside the Sect Grand Hall. Looking up at the Sect Master’s Seat, which sat empty, Tang Yan immediately understood and became silent.

Wu Shengna, however, was somewhat surprised, wondering what had happened to cause such a heavy atmosphere. Still, this was not the time to ask.

Soon, Tang Yan settled Wu Shengna into the Sect Master’s Seat and turned to the Elders present, saying,

“Everyone, this is the new Sect Master of the Sky Martial Sect, Wu Shengna. If I ever hear anyone speak ill of the Sect Master, they will have to answer to me.””Yes, greetings, Sect Master!”

The Elders present responded to Wu Shengna without any hesitation, but their tone lacked the same respect they showed Lin Yahuan.

After all, Lin Yahuan had won them over through both her strength and her charismatic personality. As for Wu Shengna, it was only their first meeting, and since he was still only at the Initial Stage of the Mortal World Immortal realm, expecting them to be convinced by him was a bit too much to ask.

In fact, if it weren’t for Lin Yahuan and Wu Yidao, most of them would probably have left the Sky Martial Sect by now. Tang Yan’s presence at the Sky Martial Sect was another significant reason that kept them there.

Nevertheless, they didn’t intend to stay indefinitely. They had set themselves a deadline: one hundred years. If Wu Shengna could not earn their respect within one hundred years, they would proactively request to leave the Sky Martial Sect.

Wu Shengna was naturally well aware of this. As a newcomer who had just assumed the role of Sect Master—while most of them possessed cultivation levels higher than his—it was entirely normal for them to be unconvinced.

So very soon, Wu Shengna stood up and looked at the Elders with a solemn tone. He said,

“Everyone, I know many of you here do not accept me yet. That doesn’t matter. Give me one thousand years—just one thousand years—and after that, whether you choose to stay or leave will be entirely up to you. I will never force anyone to stay.”

“But within these one thousand years, I will make the strength of the entire Sky Martial Sect at least triple what it is now!”

Upon hearing this, the Elders present immediately grew restless. Tripling the Sect’s strength in one thousand years? For weaker factions, tripling their power over a millennium would naturally be quite an achievable goal.The problem was that most of the Elders in the Sky Martial Sect were at the Mortal World Immortal realm, with only five having broken through to the True Immortal realm. Tripling their strength within a thousand years would be nothing short of miraculous—assuming no external help was involved.

“Sect Master, are you serious about this?”

“I never joke,” Wu Shengna replied with a serious expression, showing no hint of humor.

Hearing this, the Great Elder and the others exchanged glances. Then they stood up and addressed Wu Shengna:

“Very well. Since that’s the case, we’ll make a thousand-year pact with you. If after a thousand years the Sky Martial Sect isn’t at least three times stronger than it is now, we will leave the Sky Martial Sect. But if the strength does triple, then we vow to remain as Elders of the Sky Martial Sect for all eternity.”

“Agreed. It’s a deal,” Wu Shengna said solemnly, sealing the contract with the Great Elder and the others.

Wu Shengna was naturally not joking about tripling the Sky Martial Sect’s strength within a thousand years. Previously, when he was in the Xuantian Realm, he had taken a full ten thousand years to reach the Quasi-Emperor Peak due to the barren resources there.

After arriving in the Upper Realm, not long after setting foot on the path to the Sky Martial Sect, Wu Shengna began to sense his own cultivation foundations solidifying. Just as the pact with the Great Elder and the others was finalized, in the next moment, his own aura suddenly surged with a sharp shake.Noticing the change in Wu Shengna, the Elders present were momentarily stunned. Before they could react, they saw Wu Shengna charging toward the outside.

After Wu Shengna left, the Great Elder looked in the direction where Wu Shengna was crossing his tribulation and muttered to himself,

“Just in the short time since ascending and arriving at the Sky Martial Sect, he has advanced from the Initial Stage to the Intermediate Stage of the Mortal World Immortal realm. That talent is terrifying. If it’s really him, perhaps he truly can accomplish it.”

At that moment, for some unknown reason, all the Elders began to quietly believe deep down that Wu Shengna could indeed triple the Sky Martial Sect’s strength within a thousand years.

Meanwhile, far away from the Sky Martial Sect, Lin Yahuan had long finished packing her things and arrived at the sect.

Or rather, from the very beginning, Lin Yahuan hadn’t left much behind at the Sky Martial Sect precisely so she could leave cleanly when the time came.

Soon, Lin Yahuan stopped and looked toward the Sky Martial Sect, murmuring to herself,

“Master, I’m sorry. I’m not very fond of farewells, so let’s just meet again if fate allows.”

With that, Lin Yahuan turned to face the Central Region. Even from the Southern Region, a towering mountain that seemed to have no peak could be faintly seen. That was none other than Buzhou Mountain.
