Chapter 576: Chapter 295: Agreement Between Fellow Disciples_3
If given the choice, Green Jade Zen Ren wouldn’t want Zhou Yun Feng to shoulder such a great responsibility, as it would reduce the chances of him becoming a Nascent Soul True Monarch. Unfortunately, among the many Golden Core cultivators in the sect, he was the most suitable.

Yet, during these past twenty years, Zhou Yun Feng managed to conceive a nascent soul in his spare time. Perhaps this was the result of accumulated effort and perseverance through adversity. His experience with a damaged foundation undoubtedly granted him profound insight.

Hearing Lin Yi’s words encouraging him to strive harder, Zhou Yun Feng laughed heartily, “Hahaha, alright, let’s have an agreement. As your senior brother, I’ll strive to catch up to you, and together we’ll step towards the direction of the Nascent Soul.”

Leaving Liu Yun Hall, Lin Yi returned to Yun Yi Peak. He believed that Master Golden Sword would never just watch Zhou Yun Feng conceive a nascent soul, only to have him regret his lifetime due to inadequate cultivation time.

The solution was simple- break the current fixed system of the Sect Master and replace it with a rotational system.

However, this would greatly diminish the dignity of the Sect Master’s status. There was another method, though: setting up a position for a Deputy Sect Master.

In reality, the Sect Master’s cultivation time was sufficient. It’s just that Zhou Yun Feng’s achievement of the Golden Core came late, which greatly reduced his cultivation time.

As he had guessed, not long after, Gold Sword True Monarch summoned all Golden Core Real Persons and revealed the matter of Zhou Yun Feng conceiving the nascent soul.

Green Jade Zen Ren instantly regretted stepping down from the Sect Master position, knowing this could possibly result in the Liu Yun Sect losing an additional Nascent Soul True Monarch.

After discussion, the Liu Yun Sect decided to establish two Deputy Sect Masters and rotate every ten years. During the Sect Master’s retreat, the two Deputy Sect Masters would handle the affairs of the sect.

During their tenure, the resources of their respective peaks would be doubled.

Not long after the discussion ended, Zhou Yun Feng did not immediately retreat but explained several things to the two Deputy Sect Masters. A few months later, he went into seclusion.

The first appointed Deputy Sect Masters were Qi Jing Yu, the Phoenix Jade Zen Ren, and Shen Hao Lin from the Wine Immortal Peak, also known as Hao Ran Zen Ren.

The older generation of Golden Core Real Persons, due to their limited lifespan, would not participate in the rotation of Deputy Sect Masters.

The next rotation would include Lin Yi and a newly-promoted Golden Core Real Person from the Divine Fire Peak. Divine Fire Zen Ren’s lifespan was also nearing its end, and he was already semi-retired. Although he was carrying a nascent soul within him, he lacked the strength to transform his Golden Core into a nascent soul.

After Zhou Yun Feng retreated, Lin Yi changed his identity and returned to the Sun Moon Divine Sect. It had been about eighty years since he had resolved the crisis of the Liu Yun Sect and established the Divine Sect.

After establishing the teaching style for the sect’s disciples the last time, the educational results over the past fifty years were very satisfactory.

The disciples within the sect chose paths they were either good at or particularly interested in, working harder during their cultivation. Now, in the Divine Sect, there were nearly a thousand Foundation Building cultivators, surpassing the Liu Yun Sect.

During this period, he also found time to take a tour of the Cultivation World, and brought back two female Golden Core Real Persons, thus increasing the variety within the Sun Moon Divine Sect.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi greatly reduced the tasks in charge of Jade Illusion Zen Ren, allotting her enough time for cultivation.

After his exit from seclusion, Lin Yi sensed that Jade Illusion Zen Ren’s nascent soul was about to be completed. Afterwards, he summoned her to the Sun Moon Temple.

“Jade Illusion greets the Sect Hierarch,” Jade Illusion Zen Ren greeted, cupping her hands in a salute.

Lin Yi smiled and waved for Jade Illusion Zen Ren to sit next to him. “Yu’er, your nascent soul is nearly complete, right?”

“Sect Hierarch, it is soon to be fully formed,” Jade Illusion Zen Ren nodded.

Lin Yi immediately instructed, “Hand over the affairs of the Illusion Faction to your disciples. They may come to me with any problems directly. You should concentrate on your retreat, and try to make the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul state. Thus, my Sun Moon Divine Sect will have another True Monarch.”

Jade Illusion Zen Ren shook her head. “Sect Hierarch, I can handle affairs and cultivate…”

She wanted to contribute more to the sect, as a way of repaying the Sect Hierarch for saving her life.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but emphasize, “Hmm? Are you not listening to my words? Compared to these disciples, you are much more important. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone all the way there to bring you into the Sun Moon Divine Sect.”

“Yes, Sect Hierarch, after I return, I’ll hand over the affairs to my disciples and start concentrating on my retreat,” Jade Illusion Zen Ren responded warmly and quickly.

“That’s like it. Here are ten Supreme-grade Infant Pills, take one when you’re free, it increases the success rate of breaking through. Go ahead,” Lin Yi nodded and passed a bottle of pills to her, which contained the Infant Breaking Pills he had prepared.

With both hands, Jade Illusion Zen Ren accepted the pills, bowing deeply. “Yes, Sect Hierarch, I will excuse myself now.”
