“Please, become the {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} Sect Master of Tianfu Immortal Pavilion!”
Hearing this, Dong Kui was quite surprised.
The immortals around in Tianfu Immortal Pavilion quickly reacted and expressed that this was improper.
The sect had nearly a million years of history and tradition.
How could an outsider be allowed to take the position of Sect Master?
It was completely unreasonable!
But the old woman raised her hand and said, “Unreasonable it may be, but next time the sect faces a crisis, who will defend it?
You? Or you?”
Each time she pointed at someone, that person quickly nodded and stepped back, not daring to say another word.
Then the old woman turned to block the sides and told Dong Kui the real situation of the sect.
Tianfu Immortal Pavilion started with talismans and charms and at its peak was undoubtedly the strongest sect in the northern Heavenly Realm.
But that was before. Ever since the calamity in the Heavenly Realm, everything changed!
Although Tianfu Immortal Pavilion was not reduced to ruins like other sects,
its Sect Master and several elders had all disappeared!
At first, the whole sect wasn’t alarmed.
After all, the stronger the immortal, the later they would awaken.
Perhaps with the revival of immortal power in the realm, they would return.
But unexpectedly, even immortal kings had awakened,
yet no senior members of Tianfu Immortal Pavilion showed any sign of returning—not even one elder.
This caused the sect to enter a precarious state.
The old woman herself had been the disciple of the former Sect Master, named Huang Yehua.
Though only at the early Golden Immortal stage, in this situation she had no choice but to grit her teeth and act as acting Sect Master.
Barely keeping the sect alive.
But as time went by, enemies of Tianfu Immortal Pavilion somehow learned about the absence of senior leaders.
They came to seek revenge.
Huang Yehua resisted desperately, even using secret arts that consumed her lifespan to boost her cultivation, combined with the sect’s array, barely repelling their attacks.
But over time, Huang Yehua grew weaker.
At that time, Dong Kui arrived with her immortal king realm power, so they had no grounds to refuse her entry.
They could only let Dong Kui in.
But later Huang Yehua found Dong Kui really only came to read books.
This both relieved her and gave rise to some other thoughts.
If this immortal king could be kept in Tianfu Immortal Pavilion, it would be an honor for the sect!
So Huang Yehua began to show goodwill toward Dong Kui.
But today, other immortals had their eyes on Tianfu Immortal Pavilion.
Huang Yehua sacrificed much of her already limited lifespan but still couldn’t hold them off.
She no longer had time to endure.
She wanted to entrust the whole sect to Dong Kui—not for any other reason, just to keep the sect’s legacy alive.
The sect’s nearly million-year history was hard-earned and must not be broken in her hands.
As long as the sect survived, nothing else mattered!
Dong Kui softly asked, “Why me? Aren’t you afraid I might covet the sect?”
Huang Yehua smiled and shook her head.
“I have no choice left.
Besides, from the books you’ve been reading, I can tell you yearn for the Netherworld.
You have no real interest in the sect’s affairs.
Even if I take ten steps back and say, with Tianfu Immortal Pavilion’s current state, if you really want to do something, no one can stop you.”
To persuade Dong Kui to accept the position of Sect Master,
Huang Yehua explained that although the sect lacked top-tier strength,
it still had rich resources.
This was the main reason outsiders coveted Tianfu Immortal Pavilion.
Plus, a thousand disciples made it no small force.
Once you become Sect Master, anything you want to do will be very convenient.
Moreover, behind the ancestral statue in the main hall were three talismans requiring an immortal king realm to activate, and one of these she gave as a reward for your effort.
She only asked that Dong Kui protect Tianfu Immortal Pavilion for some time.
If one day you want to leave, just find another immortal to take your place.
Huang Yehua was indeed a good persuader.
Under her efforts, Dong Kui temporarily accepted the position of Sect Master.
Huang Yehua passed away with a smile.
Dong Kui changed from reading books in the library to reading them in the main hall.
Other than that, nothing changed.
Half a month passed leisurely.
Although she still hadn’t found a way back to the Netherworld, Dong Kui’s mindset had long ceased to be anxious.
One must admit, even ghost immortals adapt very well.
Only occasionally feeling lost.
Always feeling this trip to the Heavenly Realm was like a dream.
So unreal.
“Sect Master, there is an immortal outside asking for Ying Naiyan.
I’ve told him she’s not here, but he still wants to enter the sect and take a look.
This person seems to be an Immortal Lord realm expert!”
Elder Ma Qiansheng reported, and his last sentence was quite meaningful.
An Immortal Lord expert was truly beyond their capacity to handle.
Though Ma Qiansheng was an elder, he was only at the early Golden Immortal stage.
At this time, Tianfu Immortal Pavilion was truly all show but no substance!
Hearing Ying Naiyan’s name, Dong Kui immediately began to ponder.
Perhaps Ye Yu had come looking!
But that couldn’t be right.
How could he have come here?
Even Ying Naiyan didn’t know she was in Tianfu Immortal Pavilion; logically, Ye Yu couldn’t know either.
Though puzzled, Dong Kui instinctively refused to meet Ye Yu.
She didn’t even want him to know she had come to the Heavenly Realm.
Having refused so much before, now coming, wasn’t this pure hypocrisy?
But before the refusal escaped her lips, Dong Kui frowned again.
No, Ying Naiyan had already gone to the central Heavenly Realm, supposedly with Ye Yu for some time.
Why was Ye Yu now here searching again?
Could something have happened to her disciple?
Thinking this, Dong Kui hurriedly left the main hall.
Soon she was outside the sect.
Sure enough, the visitor was none other than Ye Yu.
And when he saw Dong Kui, he was very surprised.
“How come it’s you?”
Honestly, Dong Kui was a little confused hearing this.
Seeing with her peripheral vision the immortals of Tianfu Immortal Pavilion around, she immediately realized this wasn’t the place to talk.
With a wave of her large sleeve, she led Ye Yu into the sect’s main hall.
She set up an array barrier, cutting off everything outside.
After finishing, Dong Kui softly said, “Speak. What exactly is going on? How do you know I’m here?”
Ye Yu’s expression turned somewhat embarrassed.
He then took out a pink Death Barbie sandbox from his storage ring.
Without a doubt, this odd yet cute item was made by Master Feng Yingzhi herself!
Perhaps from previous praise, she had completely let herself go.
The things she made now were increasingly marked by a distinctive personal style!
Not only did the appearance look unique beyond compare, but the way to open it was downright socially embarrassing!
