Yun Lintian concentrated his energy on reconnecting Yun Qianxue's Profound Vein. However, halfway through, Yun Qianxue regained her consciousness and looked at Yun Lintian.
"Mom, don't worry. With me here, you will regain your former strength soon." Yun Lintian said with a smile. He tried to hide his anger from her.
Yun Qianxue reached out her hand to touch his face and asked with concern, "Are you hurt?"
Yun Lintian's hands trembled upon hearing this. Even at this time, she still cared for him. His heart was overwhelmed by myriad emotions as he didn't know whether he should feel warm or sad.
He produced a forced smile, holding Yun Qianxue's hand and said, "I'm fine. As I said before, no one can hurt me. See? Is your son good?"
A smile bloomed on Yun Qianxue's wrinkled face. She nodded her head in difficulty, "Of course, my son is the best."
In the distance, Yun Ruanyu, Yun Qingrou, and Yun Huanxin watched this scene and silently wiped their tears. They knew more than anyone how close the relationship between the two was. Even though it could be said Yun Qianxue was forced to accept Yun Lintian as her foster son, she never complained even once and poured all her love and affection into nurturing him.
Yun Qianxue looked at her son with love, trying to engrave his appearance into her soul, and prayed she could remember him after she was passing into the Netherworld. If there was a next life, she wanted to meet him again.
Yun Lintian looked into her eyes and immediately understood her thoughts — she was giving up. He tightened his grip and said softly, "Mom, believe in me. I have a way to save you and everyone here. Please don't give up."
Yun Qianxue saw his confidence and thought he was trying to comfort her, but she didn't show it outside. She replied, "I believe you… Can you call your Aunt Ruanyu here?"
Yun Lintian nodded his head and called Yun Ruanyu over.
Yun Qianxue turned to Yun Ruanyu and said with a severe expression, "I want to pass the sect master position to Lintian."
Everyone in the hall was shocked by her words. Except for Yun Ruanyu, she understood Yun Qianxue's intention.
"Mom, you don't have to do this! I really have a way to save everyone." Yun Lintian hurriedly interrupted.
Yun Qianxue didn't look at him but stared at Yun Ruanyu. The latter finally nodded her head and said, "I'll call everyone now."
Woosh—
At this moment, Yun Meilan and Yun Lingwei had arrived at the main hall, and they had also heard Yun Qianxue's words earlier.
Yun Ruanyu glanced at them and nodded her head before heading out to gather everyone to the main hall.
Yun Lintian was anxious and was about to tell her about the Land of Beyond Heaven but was interrupted by Yun Qianxue. "This is an order. Since you were young, mom never forced you to do anything, but this time I want you to accept it. Can you listen to my wish?"
Yun Lintian fell into silence. He took a deep breath and nodded his head without saying anything further. He decided to return the position to her later when they left this place.
A minute later, everyone arrived at the main hall with all the Four Hall Masters stood in front, followed by the Twelve Elders and nine hundred-odd disciples.
Yun Qianxue stood up from the ice bed with Yun Lintian's help and her gaze swept over everyone before she said, "I'm here to tell everyone. I am going to pass the position to Lintian. If anyone has an objection, you can tell me directly."
Even though she lost her strength, Yun Qianxue didn't lose her demeanor at all. She was still a dignified Sect Master in everyone's eyes. After a while, no one had raised any objection, Yun Qianxue proceeded to the next step, "Good. Since there is no objection, I shall pass the position to him now."
She turned to Yun Lintian and said, "Close your eyes."
Following, the droplet symbol on her forehead began to shine. In the next moment, an exquisite droplet jewel flew out of Yun Qianxue's forehead and shot into Yun Lintian's. For an instant, Yun Lintian felt a connection between him and everyone in this place. It was as if he had become their master along with information related to the Misty Cloud Profound Art and the history's records pouring into his mind.
Yun Qianxue's voice rang out in his mind. "This is the Misty Cloud Divine Origin. It has the ability to locate anybody who practiced the Misty Cloud Profound Art as you might have felt it by now. From now on, you are the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect. I hope you will guard everyone and never abandon them."
Yun Lintian opened his eyes, and there was a droplet symbol glowing on his forehead. He responded solemnly, "I swear upon my name, I will guard everyone with all I have until the last moment of my life."
"Good." Yun Qianxue nodded and sat on the ice bed feebly. "All of you should leave now. There is no hope to go against the enemy."
Everyone looked at each other uncertainly, but none of them wanted to leave. They turned to Yun Lintian, waiting for his command.
Yun Lintian turned to everyone and said solemnly, "I have a way to send anyone who wants to leave out. If any of you decided to leave the sect, I won't blame you. After all, it's your life. You don't have to throw your life away pointlessly." He changed his tone and continued, "However, if you left, it means you are no longer the disciple of this sect. And from now on, you will have nothing to do with the sect. Now tell me, who wants to leave?"
Yun Lintian swept his gaze on everyone attentively. He wanted to see if anyone had the slightest hesitation, as he could use this chance to see their loyalty.
"I will live and die with our sect." Suddenly, Yun Chan stepped forward and bellowed. Her expression was firm, filling with determination.
"Me too. I will live and die with our sect." Yun Li was also stepped forward.
"Me too!"
"I won't leave!"
"To live and die with our sect!" One after another came forward and vowed solemnly. In the end, they shouted in unison, expressing their determination.
Yun Lintian nodded his head with satisfaction. He said, "Good! From now on, all of you are the true disciples of the brand new Misty Cloud Sect!"
Everyone was puzzled when they heard this. What was the brand new sect?
Yun Qianxue looked at Yun Lintian in confusion. She saw him turned around and said to her with a confident smile, "Mom, I told you earlier. I have a way to save everyone."
Following this, Yun Lintian called the Gate of Beyond Heaven out in front of everyone. The silver gate stood tall with a bang, emitting an ancient aura, causing everyone in this place to freeze on the spot.
"This…?" Yun Qianxue looked at the silver gate with eyes widened open.
"You will understand soon." Yun Lintian said and helped Yun Qianxue up, stepping into the silver gate. "Everyone, follow me."
Everyone came back to their sense and slowly followed Yun Lintian into the silver gate.
"Where is this place?" Yun Qianxue was shocked when she arrived in the Land of Beyond Heaven. Even though her Profound Vein wasn't fully recovered, she could feel abundant profound energy in this place. It was at least a hundred times richer than the Misty Cloud Peak!
One by one immediately gasped in shock when they arrived in this place. Especially Yun Qingrou, when she saw the Profound Spirit Lake, Heaven Sandalwood forest, and Serene Bamboo forest, her mind went blank instantly.
Seeing everyone were here, Yun Lintian explained, "From now on, this place will be everyone's new home. Right now, you can look around the place first and I will tell you the new rules later." He then turned to Yun Huanxin. "Third Aunt, I need you to go out with me. We will move everything to here."
Yun Huanxin snapped from a daze and nodded her head absentmindedly. Yun Lingwei raised her hand and said, "I'll go with you. With me, it's easier to remove the formations around the treasury."
"Alright." Yun Lintian approved and turned to Yun Meilan, "Aunt Meilan, please take care of her first."
Yun Meilan nodded and took Yun Qianxue from him. Following this, Yun Lintian headed out with Yun Huanxin and Yun Lingwei.
"We will go to a place first. Forth Aunt you can go to the treasury and waiting for us there." Yun Lintian remembered the Crown and told Yun Huanxin.
Yun Lingwei nodded, and her figure disappeared from the spot.
Both Yun Lintian and Yun Huanxin arrived in the hidden room underneath the throne. Yun Lintian used the power of the Misty Cloud Divine Origin to disperse the mist around the altar, and the Crown appeared in his sight. This was the second time he saw the Crown. It was still as majestic as before. However, Yun Lintian didn't have time to appreciate it, as he simply put it into his interspatial ring.
Because it was too urgent, Yun Lintian failed to notice an abnormality on the Crown upon he touched it. It shook a little before he stored it away.
