A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

The temporary peak master is hereby removed, and the person promoted to honorary elder!

Upon hearing this, everyone looked on with envy at Ye Yun.

Clearly, the previous temporary peak master was just a stepping stone for him.

The elders who are worshipped hold a transcendent position within the holy land, directly surpassing the major halls.

Even if an elder commits a serious crime, the Holy Lord must personally make the judgment; no one else has the right to do so.

This also means that from today onwards, they will almost always have to address Ye Yun as "senior" or "elder" whenever they see him.

This sudden announcement startled Ye Yun, and it took him a while to react.

It was Hong Xian'er, who was standing next to him, who tugged at his sleeve and whispered.

"What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and thank your master!"

Ye Yun then came to his senses and immediately bowed in greeting.

"Thank you, Master!"

Although I had thought before that after I advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm, I would probably promote him to the position of Elder.

But he didn't expect this day to come so quickly, which surprised him.

Jin Liuli simply nodded slightly in response to his gratitude.

"We hope that Elder Ye will continue to fight for the glory of the Holy Land in the future."

After becoming an elder, he was supposed to be of the same generation as the Holy Lord, so his title changed slightly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun cupped his hands in greeting and said earnestly.

"I will certainly live up to the expectations of His Majesty!"

At that moment, the others also gave him face.

After exchanging glances, they all bowed to Ye Yun in unison.

Congratulations, Elder Ye!

Although most of them were much older than Ye Yun.

However, on the path of cultivation, in the sacred land, these things are not important; the key is strength!

Ye Yun accepted the respectful titles bestowed upon him without hesitation.

However, he still managed to say something in response.

"I hope to get along better with everyone in the future."

After his announcement, Jin Liuli's gaze then fell on Hong Xian'er.

"Xian'er".

"Master!"

Hong Xian'er quickly stepped forward and bowed.

"What are your orders?"

After a moment of contemplation, Jin Liuli slowly spoke.

"From this day forward, you are no longer the Holy Maiden, but will instead serve as the Acting Holy Master of the Ancient Path Holy Land."

"This matter will be posted on the Holy Land's bulletin board later!"

These words shocked everyone present.

This is far more shocking than the announcement just now that Ye Yun had been promoted to Elder.

Although Hong Xian'er handled most of the previous affairs of the Holy Land, she was administratively no different from the Holy Lord.

But given her status, she is still just a saintess, merely an agent of the saint's authority.

But once promoted, this power immediately becomes theirs, unless someone is planning to overturn the table and rebel.

Although he is only acting as the Holy Lord, he is only one step away from becoming the real Holy Lord.

As long as Jin Liuli speaks up, or if something unexpected happens...

Hong Xian'er will then be able to rightfully and officially become the new Holy Lord.

Therefore, what Jin Liuli said was no different from directly announcing Hong Xian'er as the new Holy Master...

No sooner had these words been spoken than someone couldn't help but chime in.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of utmost importance; we urge you to reconsider!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, such matters should be discussed in a large meeting."

"We hope Your Majesty will reconsider!"

"..."

Among those present were people belonging to various factions within the Holy Land.

If Hong Xian'er were to be directly promoted to Holy Lord, it would not be a good thing for them.

It could even have a huge impact on interests.

Jin Liuli ignored this completely and simply replied with a curt remark.

"My mind is made up, this matter is settled."

It's clear she wanted to take this opportunity to make things irreversible.

With things said to this point, even if others have objections, they can only express their agreement.

Even if they express dissent, only the elders who support them can do so; they are not qualified to condemn.

However, her decision completely baffled Hong Xian'er.

How did I suddenly become the acting Holy Lord?

It felt like a heavy burden was being placed directly on her shoulders.

Hong Xian'er couldn't help but say, "Master, I..."

It's clear that she was somewhat uneasy about this decision.

To be precise, it's a lack of confidence in one's own abilities.

Therefore, Jin Liuli looked at her and said slowly.

"You don't need to worry. The fact that I'm entrusting this to you means that I acknowledge your abilities."

"Otherwise, no matter how much you beg, I will not let you sit in this position."

These words struck a chord with Hong Xian'er, leaving her with mixed feelings.

Ye Yun, who was standing next to her, noticed her expression and smiled.

"Xian'er, what are you still hesitating about? You should know your master's personality; she wouldn't lie to you about something like this."

"Furthermore, I have witnessed your abilities firsthand; you are absolutely capable of being the Holy Lord, or rather, the Acting Holy Lord!"

With her master's guidance and Ye Yun's comforting words, Hong Xian'er took a deep breath.

Then, as if making up her mind, she nodded.

"Thank you, Master. I will do my best!"

Just then, Yu Hongling, who was standing nearby, felt happy for her master.

Then, as if she had just thought of something, she asked curiously.

"In that case, when can Master be crowned and succeed to the throne?"

Generally, when a new Holy Lord is promoted, even if it is an acting Holy Lord, a coronation ceremony is required.

This proclaimed to all parties that a new holy ruler was about to be born in their ancient holy land.

However, saying this in front of Jin Liuli was a bit too audacious.

As a result, he was glared at by Hong Xian'er as soon as he finished speaking.

"Master is still here, you mustn't say such disrespectful things!"

"Hmm... I understand."

Yu Hongling stuck out her tongue, trying to fool everyone.

Of course, she was only acting out of concern for her master.

It's not that once Hong Xian'er was crowned, she became the Holy Master's disciple.

Jin Liuli simply smiled faintly at this.

"What this little girl said is true; the coronation should indeed be decided as soon as possible."

After saying that, she paused for a moment before continuing.

"The coronation ceremony will be after you wipe out the Ascension Cult, won't it?"

These words surprised everyone.

They thought that His Majesty would be in a hurry and would directly crown Hong Xian'er.

Hong Xian'er was taken aback when she heard this request.

"Eliminate the Ascension Cult?"

This is quite difficult.

Moreover, it's uncertain whether it can be completed in a short period of time.

Even whether it can be completed successfully is questionable.

However, she still took a deep breath and said.

"No problem, I will certainly do my best!"

Ye Yun, who was standing nearby, listened thoughtfully and roughly guessed the meaning behind Jin Liuli's arrangement of the time.

After the matter was settled, Jin Liuli nodded slightly.

She naturally trusted her apprentice.

Jin Liuli's gaze swept over everyone, and she said calmly.

"If you have nothing else to do, you may all leave now."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Everyone cupped their hands in response.

After that, they all went their separate ways.

Only Ye Yun, Hong Xian'er, and Jin Liuli remained in the same spot.

Even Yu Hongling obediently went back to her room.

At this point, Jin Liuli looked at Hong Xian'er and slowly said.

"My disciple, I'm leaving the rest to you."

"Yes, Master!"

Hong Xian'er took a deep breath and nodded emphatically.

"Your disciple will definitely eradicate the Ascension Sect completely!"

Ye Yun, who was standing to the side, also said something with a smile.

"Don't worry, Master, I will do my best to help Xian'er."

Seeing the two working together, Jin Liuli nodded in satisfaction.

That would be best.

The strength of two people is always greater than that of one person.

Moreover, Ye Yun's potential for future development far surpasses that of Hong Xian'er.

With his help, Jin Liuli felt quite at ease.

In the future, no one should be able to shake Hong Xian'er's position in the ancient holy land.

"Alright, I'll take my leave now."

Jin Liuli turned and glanced at them, leaving behind a single sentence.

"Recent official business has been completed, and the rest will be sent here directly."

"Yes, Master!"

Hong Xian'er bowed with her hands clasped in greeting.

Then, Jin Liuli transformed into a beam of light and disappeared.

Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er watched her leave.

At this moment, Ye Yun noticed Xian'er's expression beside him, which seemed to be somewhat conflicted, so he asked her.

"Xian'er, what are you thinking about?"

Upon hearing this, Hong Xian'er turned her head and glanced at it.

"I'm just wondering why my master wants to pass the leadership to me now."

Ye Yun shrugged and chuckled.

"Doesn't this mean that Master trusts you?"

However, this reason obviously could not convince Hong Xian'er.

She shook her head slightly and explained.

"But now that Master has said this, the hearts of people throughout the Holy Land may be somewhat unsettled."

"It will only have a negative effect on the subsequent eradication of the Ascension Sect."

If the master's intention was to support her in becoming the new Holy Lord...

The ideal approach would undoubtedly be to maintain the status quo and patiently wait for the Ascension Cult to be eradicated.

Once it's done, we'll use this achievement to solidify her position as Holy Lord.

Before this, Hong Xian'er had always thought the same way.

However, she didn't expect her master to announce it ahead of time, which caused her considerable obstacles.

"Well..."

Ye Yun pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled as if he had thought of something.

"I think it shouldn't be hard to explain."

Hong Xian'er was slightly taken aback, looked up at him and asked.

"What do you mean?"

Then, Ye Yun smiled and told him what was on his mind.

"In my opinion, this should be the final major test that Master has prepared for you!"

"It tests both your coordination and organizational skills, as well as your most basic execution ability."

"The reason he was appointed as the acting Holy Lord was also to prepare a way out."

"If you succeed, she can easily remove the word 'agent' from your title."

"If you return defeated and the people are dissatisfied, then your status as the Holy Lord can be removed."

This explanation startled Hong Xian'er, who then nodded in agreement.

What you said seems to make sense.

"Of course."

Ye Yun smiled and asked.

"How does it feel? Doesn't it feel much less stressful now that you've thought about it this way?"
