“The Old Fu” referred to by Zhuge Wu You was naturally Fu Xuanxu.

When Fu Xuanxu said he was “cowardly,” it was because he spent money to bribe the head of Little Lingxu Peak at the ti, removing himself from the recruitnt list. His “stubbornness” was due to his refusal to establish his foundation despite Fu Xuanxu’s persuasion during tis of crisis within the sect, demonstrating his obstinacy to the extre.

“However, Old Fu is dead now. Even if you hold a grudge against him, there’s nothing you can do,”

Zhuge Wu You suddenly sighed, his tone becoming sowhat somber.

Han Yi certainly wouldn’t bla Fu Xuanxu. Back then when he learned soone had rejected his application preventing him from advancing to the Inner Peak early, those words “He’ll pay for this,” were just said in anger.

Because in reality, he was the one exploiting loopholes.

As of today, it was even less likely that he would hold any resentnt towards Fu Xuanxu.

Like Fu Canghai, Fu Xuanxu was loyal to the sect and died in battle. All disciples of the Xuandan Sect should honor him accordingly.

Ti flies, showing no rcy.

Han Yi suddenly rembered that the three Supre Elders who sent them to Yujing Mountain to participate in the second trial of Cave Heaven had all t their demise.

Fu Xuanxu, Fu Canghai, Su Changkong.

At this mont,

He was acutely aware of the long and lonely path of immortality causing mixed feelings, making him hesitant about wanting to make Yan Ru his Dao companion.

He was scared.

Scared of the possibility of losing his partner prematurely, or that he himself might et an unexpected end, leaving his Dao companion alone.

This thought had barely surfaced before Han Yi temporarily suppressed it.

“Back to business.”

“Actually, it wasn’t who wanted you to beco the resident elder, but Elder Qin.”

“His proposal has the full support of the Sect Master, Elder Huo Ming and myself.”

“The sect currently has one more Golden Core elder, but his realm is still unstable and he has not yet taken on responsibilities within the sect. So in practice, the five of us are still in charge. Excluding Elder Si Hong, you got four out of five votes.”

“So you see, you were the people’s choice.”

“However, since you’re not interested in being the resident elder, I will give you a second option.”

“Elder Qin will personally reside in the Xuandan Pill Shop in Daqian Immortal City to develop the business. He intends on changing Xuandan Pill Shop into Xuandan Pavilion, aiming to compete with Immortal Pavilion, and not only sell pills, but also weapons, formations, immortal boats, and spiritual talismans.” “This is one of the sect’s biggest strategies within these ten years.”

“Elder Qin thinks you’re suitable, not only because you’re powerful, but also because you’ve received the Emperor’s favor, holding the position of a patrol inspector. Going to Daqian Immortal City is crucial for the establishnt and promotion of Xuandan Pavilion.”

“You can choose to go with Elder Qin.”

“Don’t rush to refuse. The sect will give you special privileges. You’ll only need to hold the fort and not be involved in managent tasks, it won’t take up much of your ti.”

“Of course, if you still find it unsuitable, you can bring it up at the elders’ eting and let the Heavenly chanism Chart decide. Even I have to abide by the decisions made by the Heavenly chanism Chart.”

Zhuge Wu You wore a smile on his face, not appearing overly serious, but that made Han Yi feel even more overwheld.

The supre elders of the Xuandan Sect, each had their own personal traits.

Fu Canghai was gentle, Fu Xuanxu was strict, and Zhuge Wu You was a friendly tiger.

“I’ll give you three days to reflect. After three days, the sect will hold an elders’ eting. All elders within the sect will attend. You need to tell before that eting what your choice is.”

“Also, I heard that your trip to Shu Du last ti was to fulfill a last wish of Elder Brother Canghai. For this, I want to thank you on behalf of the sect.”

“The situation of our sect today does not seem as glorious as it appears from the outside. A lot of things are not shared with the Foundation Establishnt elders, and it’s us old fellows who are shouldering them.”

“Han Yi, breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage as soon as possible. The sect needs you.”

Towards the end, Zhuge Wu You spoke with a heavy tone, as if he was carrying a great burden, and a trace of deep concern appeared in his eyes.

This fleeting worry caught Han Yi’s attention, causing him to abruptly end the conversation.

Han Yi respectfully took his leave.

With all that Zhuge Wu You had said, if he stayed to argue, that would be incredibly selfish.

As he descended the tower, his mind was racing.

The trace of worry that he’d spotted in Zhuge Wu You’s eyes earlier did not provide much details. But, it made his heart skip a beat.

The disaster of the Xuandan tiptoed away only three years ago. What hidden threats could the sect be facing again?

Han Yi couldn’t help but think about Xuandan Peak, which was always shrouded in fog and hid so secrets.

Could it be related to that?

During each elders’ eting, only Xuandan Hall was revealed, whereas other parts of Xuandan Peak remained hidden.

Keep in mind, Xuandan Peak is the largest, highest, and core immortal peak of the Xuandan Sect. Beneath the peak, there’s a Fifth-stage Spiritual Vein that it monopolizes. Based on the peak’s size, Xuandan Hall only comprises one-twentieth of Xuandan Peak. What else could be out there?

Surely, only the Golden Core Supre elders, or perhaps only Sect Master Yuan Shun, knew this secret.

Aside from this, Han Yi couldn’t think of anything else.

No.

That’s not right.

The Xuandan catastrophe only happened a few years ago. Could it be that it hasn’t actually ended yet, but instead gone from being a public threat to a concealed one? For instance, the escaped Sect Master of Heavenly Soul Sect, Feng Wusheng, or possibly even the force lurking behind the Blood God Sect… the Southern Dipper Divine Palace?

Han Yi halted his steps, furrowed his brows, and imdiately headed towards the elder’s office area within the Azure Dragon Palace.

In the office area, Lu Li was busy with work. When he saw Han Yi co in, his eyes flickered with astonishnt.

“Brother Han Yi, haven’t you just advanced to the late Foundation Establishnt stage?”

“It’s only been less than half a year. Isn’t that too fast?”

Just a little over half a year ago, when Han Yi ca to receive his elder’s equipnt, Lu Li could clearly see that Han Yi had only just entered the middle stage of his Foundation Establishnt.

What’s more,

He also rembered Han Yi’s Foundation Establishnt – it had only been a little over three years ago. Sect Master Yuan Shu had personally protected the law and due to the Xuandan catastrophe, it was deeply imprinted in his mind.

Just over three years from Qi Cultivation Peak to the late Foundation Establishnt stage.

If the First-Class Immortal Foundation existed only in legends, it wouldn’t have been this quick.

Could it be that Han Yi has the First-Class Immortal Foundation?

No, that’s impossible.

The anomaly of the First-Class Immortal Foundation did not appear during Han Yi’s Foundation Establishnt, which was witnessed by many.

Could it be… Sect Master Yuan?

That’s it. Since Yuan Shun personally protected Han Yi’s Dao, it’s logical to assu that any resources required would be readily given.

With this realization, Lu Li attributed Han Yi’s rapid advancents to Yuan Shun’s help and felt that everything made sense.

Of course,

He was envious, but he didn’t feel any jealousy.

Cultivators like this, despite progressing rapidly initially, will face an even more significant tribulation when they reach the Peak of Foundation Establishnt and attempt to breakthrough to the stage of the Golden Core cultivator. So it wasn’t clear whether this advancent was good or bad.

As Han Yi arrived at the office area, he scanned the room, then said to Lu Li:

“Brother Lu, I’ve co here to look at the archives of the sect over the past few years..”
