Fantasy: I, the Great Celestial Venerable of the Dao

Images flashed through Wan Jianyi's mind, and he finally couldn't help but laugh at himself.

"Senior brother, your breakthrough will ensure the Qingyun Sect's stability."

Thinking this, Wan Jianyi picked up the tattered broom again.

Looking at the fallen leaves fluttering on the ground, he started sweeping them up haphazardly.

It was as if all my worries were being swept into the fallen leaves.

At this moment, Dao Xuan was riding the wind through the sea of ​​clouds.

Her clothes fluttered like clouds hanging from the sky, but she couldn't help but think about what would happen next.

Facing the turbulent future, regardless of the soon-to-be-born Beast God,

The ambitions of Wanrenwang, the sect leader of the Ghost King Sect, are no less than a catastrophe for the Qingyun Sect.

Expanding the Qingyun Sect can be easy in some ways, but it can also be quite difficult.

If Wan Jianyi could also break through to the Taiqing realm, it would be a tremendous boon for the Qingyun Sect.

This is not wishful thinking; with Wan Jianyi's talent, it is definitely possible, but the key lies in his state of mind.

A mental illness requires a mental cure.

Given Wan Jianyi's talent, breaking through to the Taiqing Realm was as easy as breaking through a thin layer of paper.

However, back then, in order to protect his master Tianchengzi's reputation...

Wan Jianyi was forced to bear the crime of murdering his master.

In fact, in the eyes of all those in the know, Wan Jianyi was the sinner who murdered his master.

Perhaps all he needs to do to overcome this inner demon is to help him break through to the Taiqing realm.

If Dao Xuan hadn't secretly saved him and entrusted him with the task of protecting the Qingyun Sect, he would have been in trouble.

Back then, Wan Jianyi probably didn't just lose heart; he had no reason to live at all.

Of course, Dao Xuan had no intention of relying solely on his few words.

This brought Wan Jianyi, who had been heartbroken for many years, back to life.

This was indeed difficult, but Dao Xuan had already made up his mind.

We must help Wan Jianyi, this extraordinary genius, regain his former glory and add another Taiqing Realm expert to the Qingyun Sect!

While he was pondering, Dao Xuan had already arrived at the Jade Purity Hall on the front mountain. The disciples on duty, seeing the Sect Leader arrive on the wind, immediately bowed in respect.

"Greetings, Master."

Dao Xuan landed lightly on the ground, under the awe-inspiring gazes of the disciples on duty.

He nodded slightly in acknowledgment. To the entire Qingyun Sect, Dao Xuan was a figure akin to a celestial being, the spiritual pillar of everyone.

"Um."

He nodded gently to his two disciples and walked peacefully into the magnificent Yuqing Hall.

As usual, he summoned the elders of Tongtian Peak and began to handle the daily affairs of Qingyun Sect.

As one of the three most prestigious and righteous sects in the vast land of China, the Qingyun Sect is not as simple as popular rumors suggest.

The cultivation sects are above the secular dynasties, regardless of whether they are righteous or demonic.

They are immortals who are unattainable in the eyes of mortals.

Within the Qingyun Sect, although it is divided into seven branches, each with its own head elder, it is not a disorganized group.

Under Dao Xuan's leadership, the seven lineages worked together with one heart, maintaining the prosperity and flourishing of this ancient sect.

Within the vast Qingyun Sect, apart from the head of the Tongtian Peak branch, which holds the central authority, the other six branches each perform their respective duties.

It resembled a well-ordered cultivation dynasty.

Among them, the most powerful is Cangsong Daoist, the chief of Longshou Peak, who also serves as the law enforcement elder of Qingyun Sect.

He is in charge of the sect's criminal laws, regulations, and defense.

His position was so prestigious that he was second only to the emperor and above thousands of others.

The other branches also bear heavy responsibilities, some being responsible for training disciples.

Some are in charge of resource allocation, while others specialize in foreign affairs negotiations.

The most important responsibility is to assist the sect leader in suppressing the Heavenly Secret Seal, which concerns the fate of all living beings.

This Heavenly Secret Seal is the most crucial part of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

Beneath it lies the most ferocious and malevolent earthly energy from all over the land.

Once the seal is broken, the overwhelming evil energy will pour into the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, at which point this ancient and wondrous formation will be able to unleash its ultimate power to destroy the heavens and the earth.

Dao Xuan briefly sorted out the affairs of the sect in his mind and found that there were no particularly difficult problems.

He then gave a brief and concise explanation to the elders standing to the side.

Taking advantage of a break from handling daily affairs, he instructed his disciples to send messages to the various peaks.

He summoned the heads of the six sects and all the senior elders to a meeting.

As the supreme leader of a sect, Dao Xuan had to handle many important matters of Tongtian Peak every day.

The formal meetings of the seven leaders only take place once a month.

During his three-month seclusion, many important matters that required the sect leader's decision were temporarily put on hold.

Now that he has successfully broken through to the Taiqing realm and emerged from seclusion, he naturally needs to deal with these backlogged matters as soon as possible.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Sect Leader."

Before long, the six sect leaders and dozens of elders filed in, bowing respectfully in unison, their voices echoing throughout the hall.

"No need for such formalities, fellow disciples."

Dao Xuan flicked his sleeves, and a gentle force lifted everyone up.

Taking advantage of this moment, he discreetly observed these faces that were both familiar and unfamiliar.

But the elder of law enforcement, Cangsong, had a stern face and exuded an imposing aura without anger.

Although Tian Buyi, the chief abbot of Dazhu Peak, was slightly overweight, he possessed a masterly demeanor that could not be underestimated.

Zeng Shuchang, the head of Feng Huifeng, looked slightly old, but his eyes were still sharp.

Master Shuiyue, the abbot of Xiaozhu Peak, has a cool and otherworldly appearance, like a fairy who does not eat the food of the mortal world;

As for Shang Zhengliang, the head of Chaoyang Peak, and Tianyun Daoren, the head of Luoxia Peak, although they were not described much in the original work, they still appeared to have extraordinary bearing.

After this observation, Dao Xuan had a clear understanding of the cultivation level of the Six Meridians' leader.

Among them, the most accomplished cultivators were Daoist Cangsong and Tian Buyi, who had already reached the eighth level of the Shangqing realm.

Zeng Shuchang ranked second, with his cultivation reaching the peak of the sixth level of Shangqing.

Master Shuiyue was slightly inferior, but still firmly held his position on the sixth level of Shangqing.

Shang Zhengliang and Tianyun Daoren were both at the fourth level of Shangqing. Although they were slightly better than the other elders, they were already at the bottom of the list among the chief elders.

As for the dozens of elders who accompanied them, all of them had broken through the Upper Clarity Realm, with the highest among them only reaching the third level of Upper Clarity.

In the Qingyun Sect, only those who break through to the Shangqing Realm can be promoted to the position of Elder.

Those who reach the Great Perfection of the Jade Purity Realm can serve as stewards.

Such profound foundation truly befits its illustrious reputation as the leader of the righteous path.

After everyone took their seats in order, with the six chief disciples, including Cangsong, at the front, and the other elders in order below, the Yuqing Hall gradually quieted down.

"During this period of seclusion, I have troubled my fellow disciples to take care of the affairs of the sect."

Dao Xuan looked around at everyone and said in a gentle voice.

"Senior Brother Sect Leader, you flatter us. This is simply our duty."

Everyone answered in unison.

For cultivators who live for hundreds of years, seclusion for several months is nothing special, and even seclusion for ten or eight years is common.

Seeing this, Dao Xuan stopped being polite and immediately began discussing the backlog of sect affairs with everyone.

About an hour later, all the important matters had been dealt with, and the elders took their leave.

In the vast Jade Purity Hall, only Dao Xuan and the six leaders of the Six Veins, the highest decision-making body of the Azure Cloud Sect, remained.
