[Vote for Monthly Pass]_2 Li Dazhi greeted each one in turn.

Kongming sighed, raised his right hand towards Li Dazhi, and Li Dazhi hurriedly reached out his arm to help Daoist Kongming rise from the wooden chair.

Li Dazhi whispered, “Master, if there’s anything you need, just give your disciple a word; there’s no need for you to come out in person.”

“No, the matter tonight requires me to preside over it personally,” Daoist Kongming replied.

Kongming smiled, took a breath, and his hunched figure slowly straightened up.

He then took Li Dazhi’s arm and walked over to the main seat in the center of the main hall.

The elders on both sides rose to their feet, while hundreds of Immortals from the Wanyun Sect gathered outside the hall to pay their respects.

“Greetings, Ancestor!”

“Greetings, Senior Kongming!”

Daoist Kongming waved his hand, “Please dispense with the formalities, let those outside come in as well, and Daoist Xu Sheng, please take the seat of honor.”

Xu Sheng walked forward with his hands behind his back, taking his seat to the left of Daoist Kongming who sat on the right.

Hundreds of Immortals from outside poured into the hall, with each Peak Master and elder present in the room.

Daoist Kongming spoke warmly, “Dazhi, go and kneel in the front.”

“Yes, Master,” Li Dazhi responded.

Li Dazhi replied, as Elder Yansheng brought over a meditation cushion;

as Li Dazhi bowed his head to kneel, Elder Yansheng raised his hand as if to support him, then bowed his head and retreated to the side.

Daoist Kongming sighed softly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, a smile on his lips as he spoke gently:

“These long years have not been unkind to me, for my path has been followed by so many Immortals.

“Since its founding, the Wanyun Sect has faced several disasters.

Yet, the fire of the Wanyun legacy has not been extinguished.

The Wanyun Sect has nurtured many talented individuals for the Human Race, which greatly comforts me.”

All the Immortals bowed low in respect.

Daoist Kongming continued with another sigh:

“As for the matter of Yun Mo, I am fully aware.

“The blame lies with me, for I failed to recognize the difficulties the Wanyun Sect faced after the turmoil ten thousand years ago.

I merely chose a Sect Leader and then placed all the heavy responsibilities on the Sect Leader’s shoulders.

“At that time, the Wanyun Sect had just experienced great changes, and everything needed to be built anew.

The Sect Leader struggled with finances, and was taken advantage of by demons and monsters from the Myriad Demon Heaven, which then led to cracks in his Dao Heart.

“The mistakes of Yun Mo should be borne by me; there’s no need to document them on the Sect’s annals,” Kongming stated.

The elder of the Wanyun Hall bowed and replied, “Ancestor, rest assured, it hasn’t been written.”

“Good,” Daoist Kongming said with a smile.

“You all know that our Wanyun Sect has produced two, yes, two disciples who have greatly impacted the world and the Human Race!” Kongming laughed heartily.

“My disciple, Li Dazhi, possesses remarkable strategies and great fortune, founded the Castcloud Hall, revolutionized Artifact Refining, and made our Wanyun Sect prosperous.

His contributions to the Human Race’s war efforts are extraordinary.

“This is a blessing for me, as well as a blessing for the Wanyun!”

Shouts immediately resounded around him:

“Congratulations, Ancestor!”

“Congratulations, Ancestor!”

Daoist Kongming raised his hand to quiet them, and the Immortals fell silent.

Then the old Daoist continued with a smile:

“Dazhi’s son, Li Ping’an, holds justice in his heart and walks with a sword.

First, he cleared the Eastern Alliance’s menace for the Human Emperor of our Human Race, and has resonated with the Heavenly Dao, destined to be the Heavenly Emperor of tomorrow!

Hahaha!

“All these achievements are well-known to all of you, truly a great fortune for our Human Race!

It is the supreme honor of our Wanyun Sect!

“Ping’an has made a Great Vow to protect our Sect, a commitment witnessed by all here!

“Thus, after discussion with Daoist Xu Sheng, we have made a decision…

to merge Wanyun Sect and Yuan Sect, abandoning both names to establish a new Sect, called: Castcloud Sect!”

Li Dazhi’s Dao Body shuddered, and he lifted his head to look at his master.

Such a major matter, and he hadn’t been informed about it before?

Xu Sheng nodded with a smile and spoke aloud:

“The Yuan Sect was never comparable to the Wanyun Sect, so we will not contend over the many matters here.

“Consider it as joining in the Great Fortune!”

“As the Current Sect Leader of the Yuan Sect, I will join the Castcloud Sect as the first Vice Sect Leader.

The elders, disciples, and members of the Yuan Sect will maintain their original positions.

Yuan Sect’s gate will be moved within the Wanyun Sect, adding six new Peaks to the Wanyun Sect!” Xu Sheng announced.

The elders of the Yuan Sect nodded with smiles.

Daoist Kongming continued: “The meaning behind the name ‘Castcloud Sect’ is to forge the Azure Cloud Path and assist the Heavenly Emperor to ascend to the Ninth Heaven!

Yun Ting?”

“Yes, Master!”

Daoist Yun Ting stepped forward with a fist-and-palm salute, then moved past Li Dazhi, drawing a golden Divine Cloth from his sleeve, slowly unfolding it.

“By special permission of the Human Emperor, handwritten by Minister Feng, sealed by the Eastern Alliance’s Hierarch:

“The merger of Wanyun Sect and Yuan Sect to establish the Castcloud Sect is approved!

“The Castcloud Sect will serve to protect the Human Heavenly Emperor and aid in the establishment of a new Heavenly Court!

“The Castcloud Sect will become the Eastern Alliance’s site for Immortal Treasure and magic treasure purchases, with an Eastern Alliance’s Barracks established outside the gates, permanently stationing ten thousand Immortal soldiers of the Eastern Alliance!”

With that, Daoist Yun Ting bowed to the Immortals of the Wanyun Sect, who returned the salute in unison.

Daoist Yun Ting took his place behind Daoist Kongming.

Kongming and Xu Sheng exchanged glances and simultaneously declared:

“The Sect Leader of the Castcloud Sect, Li Dazhi!”

Li Dazhi’s body trembled slightly, and he raised his head to loudly reply, “Your disciple is here!”

“Are you willing to lead the Castcloud Sect, to protect the Human Heavenly Emperor, and assist the Human Heavenly Court?”

“Your disciple is willing!”

Daoist Kongming shouted, “Please, Sect Leader, ascend to your position!”

Li Dazhi bowed three times, and Elder Yansheng, along with two other elders, stepped forward to present the Sect Leader’s Immortal Robe, Jade Command, and Sect Leader’s Seal.

Thus, Li Dazhi donned the Immortal Robe, held the Jade Command in his left hand, and the Sect Leader’s Seal in his right hand, turning to face all the Immortals.

The elders on both sides rose to their feet, leading several hundred Immortals in unison to bow.

“Greetings, Sect Leader!”

Li Dazhi’s eyes were filled with emotion as he bowed to the Immortals, feeling overwhelmed by a multitude of sentiments.

“Sect Leader,” Elder Yansheng said with a smile, “it’s time for you to say a few words.”

“Ah, yes…

everyone, please rise!”

Li Dazhi raised his hand in a gesture of support and spoke clearly:

“Today’s event comes somewhat unexpectedly for me.

The merging of the two sects by the two ancestors has truly caught me off guard.”
