Chapter 831: Chapter 793: Inheriting the Mantle of the Starry River
This Jade Disc appeared exceedingly extraordinary at first glance.
When touched by hand, it felt as soft and tender as a young girl’s skin.
Originally, Gu Xinghan had planned to hand it over.
But for some reason, as if possessed by demons or gods, he ended up concealing the discovery of the Jade Disc.
The young Gu Xinghan was not a liar.
As a result, for several days, feeling like a thief with a guilty conscience, he dared not look his seniors in the valley straight in the eye.
...
Luckily, he was naturally aloof, and after the recent chaos, every cultivator in the Valley of Eternal Life was busy recuperating.
So no one noticed his odd behavior.
Gradually, he let down his guard.
A child’s curiosity is incredibly strong.
Firmly believing he had unearthed some treasure, Gu Xinghan would spend his free time studying the Jade Disc in secret.
But to his great disappointment, many days passed, and he could not discern what was so special about the Jade Disc nor its specific uses.
It seemed to be just an ordinary jade artifact, albeit more attractive.
Yet, due to the fantasies that exist in everyone’s heart, Gu Xinghan did not cast it aside.
Instead, he kept the Jade Disc within his Dantian, nourishing it with his spiritual energy and tending to it with care.
As Medicine King Valley finished its reconstruction, Gu Xinghan’s attention was forced to shift.
Since the previous Sect Master Li Fan had unfortunately perished in the Catastrophe, the future direction of the Medicine King Sect had become a major problem.
The inheritance of the Medicine King Sect was not maintained through bloodline.
Li Fan’s succession as Sect Master was merely due to Liu Ruchen’s will.
But now with Li Fan’s sudden death, the selection of the next Sect Master had not been decided.
If it were strictly based on strength, then undoubtedly, the next Sect Master should emerge from among Liu San, Jiang Yushan, and Fang Zaiji—these three Integration Cultivators.
Jiang Yushan and Fang Zaiji had little interest in power. The most likely successor was Liu San.
However…
Firstly, Liu San believed he was merely Liu Ruchen’s servant and neither wished nor felt worthy of the position of Sect Master of the Medicine King Sect.
Secondly, the challenges faced by the Medicine King Sect were not just about succession.
A greater crisis came from the more than a thousand cultivators who were expelled from the Medicine King Cauldron.
They were all cultivators of ancient methods, and the majority were practitioners of the sect’s true inheritance, “The Sutra of Longevity for the Salvation of the World.”
Should they awaken all at once, a slaughterous Catastrophe would likely erupt within the Medicine King Sect.
Although they had all been put back into a forced slumber by the combined effort of the three Integration Cultivators, without a treasure like the Medicine King True Cauldron to maintain it, this was only a temporary solution.
In such a short time, it was impossible to find enough Techniques for these slumbering cultivators to practice.
After considering various factors, Liu San and the others eventually decided to follow the example of the Taiyan Sect and submit to the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
Concerned about the future fate of the Medicine King Sect, Liu San went personally to observe the situation.
Upon his return, the three Integration Cultivators unified their opinions.
Liu San would be the one to formally visit the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, requesting submission.
Meanwhile, Fang Zaiji took advantage of this time to distribute the [Disk of Apocalypse] to some key individuals within the sect, especially those prodigies he had found, and instructed them on how to use it, cautioning them that this matter must not be leaked.
Though the Medicine King Sect was not as renowned as the Immortal Dao Ten Clans,
its disciples were all charitable and committed to acts of healing and saving lives. So even after thousands of years, many of their legends continued to be told. In terms of fame, they were not inferior to the Ten Clans.

As the second Small World force to voluntarily submit, and with a relatively intact overall strength,
the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals highly valued the Medicine King Sect.
They dispatched a Unity Immortal Monarch, known as [Qing Yun], to manage the affair.
Under Liu San’s guidance, Qing Yun, who visited the Valley of Eternal Life, showed visible delight.
Without any major issues, both parties quickly settled the matter of the Medicine King Sect joining the alliance.
The Medicine King Sect maintained its relative independence and freedom; all that was required was for the disciples to carry the Tianxuan Treasure Mirror like ordinary Immortal Alliance Cultivators.
As for the fact that many cultivators from the Medicine King Sect had already infiltrated the Immortal Alliance ahead of time,
Qingyun did not look into it deeply.
Soon, the news that Medicine King Sect had joined the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals spread throughout the Xuanhuang World.
For a time, the world was shaken.
It accelerated the surrender of an increasing number of Small Worlds.
And the Immortal Alliance did not go back on its word, various supports quickly fell into place.
Of course, the first thing was the scan of the Tianxuan Treasure Mirror.
Both the Beast Type World and the Valley of Eternal Life were included in the illumination of the Tianxuan Profound Mirror.
Medicine King Sect also got the Techniques support it had wished for.
When one after another slumbering Cultivator was awakened and transferred to the New Method, the crisis of Medicine King Sect was finally resolved.
With the crisis averted, next was to look forward.
Now within the Medicine King Sect, there are a total of six Unity-Path Cultivators, twenty-three of God Transformation, and a number of Nascent Souls.
In today’s Cultivating Immortality World, it could not be said to be anything less than a major force.
However, there had been no leader to emerge, truly a case of being a leaderless group of dragons.
Although it had pledged allegiance, the nominal leader was the Immortal Alliance.
But under this high degree of autonomy, the authority of the Sect’s leading figures was still significant.
They could even be directly responsible to and communicate with the Immortal Alliance, reaping even more benefits.
Even for an Integration Cultivator, there were very few who would not be tempted.
So, after a bout of overt and covert struggles.
To avoid newly regained Medicine King Sect from splintering and disintegrating again.
Ultimately, through a voting resolution, it was Liu San who finally inherited the position of Sect Master.
The young Gu Xinghan didn’t quite understand the process.
He just muddled along, seeing many Cultivators in strange clothes arriving.
And then many seniors awakening.
After much chaos, the ultimate result was good.
He still had a very deep impression of Liu San, who used to personally teach them.
Right, what was it that he taught again?
The young Gu Xinghan couldn’t help but fall into perplexed contemplation.
This process of contemplation continued throughout the entire Sect grand ceremony.
In the end, he still couldn’t figure it out.
Latter, when all the Sect disciples were required to enter the Tianxuan Fragmented Mirror to create their own Tianxuan Treasure Mirrors.
His attention was momentarily diverted.
For Gu Xinghan, the Tianxuan Treasure Mirror with its countless functions was far more interesting than that Jade Disc.
Immersing his mind in it, and studying its various uses, he gradually forgot about the Jade Disc.
Until one day, when he officially began his Cultivation again,
He noticed something was not quite right.
When his little friends were all trying to “Fake the wonders of heaven and earth, to build the Tao Foundation,”
Gu Xinghan found that he seemed, possibly, maybe…
Had already built the Foundation.
Gu Xinghan was somewhat bewildered for a moment.
Not daring to inquire about the anomalies in his body with others, Gu Xinghan thought about it quietly.
It was during this process that the Jade Disc, which had always been silent and seemed like an ordinary object…
Finally showed a reaction.
