I Have A Dual World Seal

Everyone took their seats.

Saintess Zhi Lan and Saintess Yuanlu glanced over at Si Lingxi, daring not to look directly, before stopping their gaze on Du Yueyao.

"The Primordial Saint Sect faced a great difficulty, but Saintess Yue Yao turned the tide and should be its Sect Leader."

"What do I count as turning the tide..."

"You managed to enlist the support of the Phoenix Palace Master and Young Master Lu; that is your merit. Who else has the authority to enlist their aid?"

"Furthermore, you received Su Girl’s Dream Transmission Method, being the disciple of Su Girl in this world, inheriting the most complete ’Su Nu’s Prayer Method’. If you don’t become Sect Leader, who else is qualified?"

"The Primordial Saint Sect was entangled in internal disputes for a long time without a Sect Leader. Saintess Yu Kun was only the first Saintess. Now that the New Sect is destroyed, a Sect Leader should naturally be reinstated."

"Junior Sister Yueyao, as the direct heir of the Upper Realm Su Girl, the position of Sect Leader of the Primordial Saint Sect rightfully belongs to you."

Du Yueyao sighed; she was already mentally prepared, so she didn’t continue to decline modestly upon hearing this.

She looked up.

The Primordial Saint Sect originally had eight saintesses, now only Saintess Yuanlu and Saintess Zhi Lan remained.

There aren’t many sacrificial priests, there were previously nine in the sky, two were rescued from the dungeon, plus Fan Boyu, making twelve priests in the sect, which counts as proficient fighters.

Though high-end power is limited, the middle power is still considerable.

Of course, most importantly, through her, the sect is connected to Phoenix Mountain. Placing a phoenix sculpture at the sect’s gate with a perpetually burning Phoenix Divine Fire, no one would dare exploit this moment.

Therefore, Du Yueyao nodded and said, "In this case, I humbly accept the position."

The faces of the two saintesses and twelve priests showed joy as they all bowed.

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

Thus, Du Yueyao became the new generation Sect Leader of the Primordial Saint Sect.

...

Resolving the crisis of the Primordial Saint Sect took no longer than anticipated.

But subsequent matters, like soothing ordinary disciples within the sect, reorganizing management, re-establishing foundational principles, and reaffirming sect rules, were rather troublesome.

At the very least, the Primordial Saint Sect’s disciples shouldn’t continue causing chaos in the Central Plains Dynasty, unless Du Yueyao wishes her father to remain in office?

Du Yueyao plans to improve the various Cultivation Techniques and Secret Techniques within the sect based on ’Su Nu’s Prayer Method’, as well as distribute medical books.

The new Primordial Saint Sect will be grounded in Su Nu’s compassion, praying for Su Nu, performing divine prayers for good, traversing the Southern Borders to heal and save lives.

Saintess Yuanlu and Saintess Zhi Lan will oversee sect matters in Du Yueyao’s absence, with Fan Boyu as the primary sacrificial priest due to his merits.

The other two priests who had been imprisoned without submitting are promoted to rank after Fan Boyu, leaving no room for dissent.

Feng Yiyin and Hua Feiyang bowed, expressing willingness to face hardship for the Primordial Saint Sect and Du Yueyao.

"Now, there’s one last issue."

Saintess Zhi Lan looked over at Du Yueyao, then could not resist glancing at Lu Zheng, "White Smoke Valley."

White Smoke Valley, an external force colluding with Saintess Qingxin, tricked Saintess Yu Kun, imprisoned Saintess Zhi Lan and Saintess Yuanlu, attempting to extract the new ’Su Nu’s Prayer Method’ using the Soul-Lowering Bell.

However, they lacked time, and the two saintesses held firm, preventing success.

Du Yueyao and the others arrived quickly, not only capturing Master Yanxia but also securing White Smoke Valley’s treasured Soul-Lowering Bell.

Lu Zheng extended his hand, grasping something resembling a bell in his palm.

"This thing dares to call itself the Soul-Lowering Bell?"

Upon hearing this, the women laughed.

"Very well, Soul-Lowering Bell is just a name and not uncommon."

Lu Zheng chuckled and shook his head, then asked Saintess Zhi Lan, "What’s the strength of White Smoke Valley?"

"Much weaker than the sect before; even now, it’s lesser, but..."

Saintess Zhi Lan hesitated a bit, but Lu Zheng already understood.

The current Primordial Saint Sect, having undergone great change, can no longer ignore White Smoke Valley.

"Then wipe them out altogether." Si Lingxi said calmly, "I’ve already summoned Kong Lan."

White Smoke Valley lacks the qualification to have Si Lingxi act personally.

"The Five-Colored Peacock King?"

Saintess Zhi Lan shivered involuntarily, murmuring, "That’s their honor."

Let alone White Smoke Valley, even at the zenith of the sect’s power, it might not withstand this leading Great Demon under Phoenix Mountain.

...

The next day, when Du Yueyao’s succession ceremony wasn’t yet arranged, Kong Lan had already arrived.

Alongside, came the news of White Smoke Valley’s destruction.

The sect’s upper hierarchy was wiped out, most disciples perished too, those not in the valley at the time were left to their own fate.

"Conveniently, you can join Yueyao’s succession ceremony." Si Lingxi calmly said.

"Yes!"

Kong Lan bowed, then courteously nodded at everyone within the Primordial Saint Sect.

...

On the second day, everyone toured and enjoyed views around the Primordial Saint Sect, while Du Yueyao held a small meeting with sect saintesses and priests.

"Select individuals of commendable character; after the new year, accompany me back to the Central Plains." Du Yueyao stated directly.

"Huh?" Everyone was collectively surprised.

Saintess Yuanlu paused upon hearing this, "You’re planning to go back to the Central Plains, Sect Leader?"

Du Yueyao responded naturally, "Of course."

"But the sect has just been heavily impacted; it’s crucial for the Sect Leader to oversee within the sect to stabilize the disciples and the people’s morale..." Saintess Zhi Lan frowned.

"I lack experience compared to you all; blindly directing could backfire instead." Du Yueyao replied, "Furthermore, stability relies on actions, not presence or words."

"Yet your presence undoubtedly..."

"Furthermore."

Du Yueyao shook her head, interrupting Saintess Yuanlu, calmly saying, "With Phoenix Mountain backing, as long as the Primordial Saint Sect doesn’t provoke, why worry about safety?"

Saintess Yuanlu, "..."

Du Yueyao crossed her hands and pursed her lips, "Spending the year at Phoenix Mountain with Sister Lingxi is perhaps the best decision for the Primordial Saint Sect."

Everyone was speechless; while it might hurt one’s dignity to have their Sect Leader submit for another’s protection, Du Yueyao’s words might actually be the best approach for the sect.

However, Saintess Zhi Lan and Fan Boyu knew Du Yueyao wasn’t reduced to such circumstances; she genuinely wasn’t interested in her Sect Leader position of the Primordial Saint Sect.

Thus, the decision was made.

Du Yueyao would occasionally return to the Southern Border, while the Primordial Saint Sect would establish a branch in the Central Plains with Fan Boyu, Feng Yiyin, and Gu Qianli accompanying.

...

Everyone stayed within the Primordial Saint Sect for three days, Du Yueyao as the Sect Leader met with disciples and leaders within the sect.

Subsequently, Du Yueyao handed over the major responsibilities of the Primordial Saint Sect to Saintess Yuanlu and Saintess Zhi Lan and followed Lu Zheng, Si Lingxi, and the others to Phoenix Mountain.
