Chapter 2656

So, a trip to the Evil Buddha Realm was inevitable.

However, before departing, there were other matters that needed to be settled.

Zhu Yanyi listened to Yan Aohan’s plans and said, "I miss the children at the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect."

Yan Aohan replied, "The Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect has developed significantly."

As a super sect in the Immortal Realm, the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect held a unique position. Unlike the other five major sects, its status surpassed them. Its existence had also promoted the development of medical arts in the Immortal Realm.

When Zhu Yanyi returned to the Immortal Realm, the moment the door of the Suiyuan Pharmacy opened, the high-ranking members of the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect knew that Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan had emerged from seclusion.

In truth, their seclusion had not lasted long—only a few decades. Of course, they would never know that Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan had not been in seclusion but had traveled to other planes.

"Sect Leader, you have returned," Zhuge Hongwen said, leading the group forward.

Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "I am back. It seems everyone is doing well."

Reuniting felt as if they had only parted yesterday, yet the development of the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect was indeed rapid.

"Currently, we control the number of disciples between 150,000 and 200,000. We do not recruit many new disciples daily," Zhuge Hongwen said seriously to Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi nodded and said, "You have always managed the affairs of the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect. I trust you completely. Please continue to manage it."

Zhuge Hongwen replied, "Sect Leader, you should also inspect things. You cannot just be a hands-off leader."

Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "I think this is fine. It is rare to have someone managing things. Besides, I founded the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect to promote medical arts. As long as this main goal remains unchanged, I lack the ability to manage other details. So, you handle it. Unless it is a matter of life and death, I will not intervene."

Zhuge Hongwen frowned slightly. Hong Lian and others beside him also frowned.

Seeing their frowns, Zhu Yanyi smiled faintly. "I naturally have my reasons for doing this."

Qian Huansheng spoke up, "If I guess correctly, your cultivation should have reached the Immortal Venerable stage by now."

"Smart," Zhu Yanyi nodded. "I have reached the late stage of Immortal Venerable. If I am not mistaken, after I go to the Evil Buddha Realm in a few days, I might break through. I could ascend directly to become a God. Therefore, the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect in the Immortal Realm must rely on you to continue perfecting it. All I can do is visit occasionally."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes widened in surprise. Ouyang Tianyun said, "So you have been a hands-off leader from the start until leaving the Immortal Realm. It is the first time I have encountered a Sect Leader like you."

"How wonderful," Zhu Yanyi said with a grin. "Since you are all in the Immortal Realm, you decide the matters here. Vote on who the next Sect Leader will be."

"Let Zhuge Hongwen be the Sect Leader directly," Ouyang Tianyun suggested. "After all, we are in the Immortal Realm. The chance of ascending from Immortal to God is very small. I feel none of us are confident. It is better to let Zhuge Hongwen take the role. He originally managed the entire Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect as a strategist."

"A strategist is an assistant. The decision-maker should be someone else," Zhuge Hongwen stated directly. "If I may suggest, let Cui Wan be the Sect Leader."

Zhu Yanyi shrugged. "As long as you agree, I have no objection. I just need to hand over the position of Sect Leader."

Zhu Yanyi’s purpose for coming to the Immortal Realm was indeed to hand over the position of Sect Leader.

"You have handed over the position of Sect Leader. What do you plan to do next?" Ouyang Tianyun asked.

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "I can take the position of Supreme Elder. Isn’t that nice?"

The others nodded slightly at Zhu Yanyi’s choice. It was indeed a good idea.

Zhu Yanyi did not know how they finally decided, but in the end, Cui Wan did not become the Sect Leader; Gong Jue did.

In fact, Zhu Yanyi had known this result from the start. Cui Wan wanted the title of Eldest Senior Sister mainly for the name. If she became Sect Leader, she would likely be another hands-off leader. In contrast, Gong Jue was very responsible. With the assistance of Zhuge Hongwen and others, there was no need to worry about problems during the transition.

Zhu Yanyi smiled as she passed the position of Sect Leader of the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect to Gong Jue. Then, she and Yan Aohan secluded themselves in the Suiyuan Pharmacy.

However, this Suiyuan Pharmacy was specially built by Zhu Yanyi. It was essentially her own Suiyuan Pharmacy, and it would inevitably follow her.

Naturally, Zhu Yanyi did not state this explicitly. Besides, the Suiyuan Pharmacy belonged to her, so taking it with her was perfectly justified.

After settling the affairs of the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan walked around the Immortal Realm. They also visited the Immortal Emperor and Empress couple in the Immortal Palace. They traveled everywhere, occasionally encountering disciples of the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect who were out for training. When interested, Zhu Yanyi would guide them; when not, she would avoid them. Her days were quite comfortable.

Twenty years passed. Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan returned to the Azure Sovereign Qingdi Sect, gathered with everyone again, and then departed. Her destination was the Evil Buddha Realm.

Watching them break through the sky and leave, the Immortal Emperor sighed. "The path to becoming a Medical God has been opened."

The Immortal Empress said, "It is normal. Zhu Yanyi was able to calm down and solidify her current foundation, which is already very good. I originally thought Zhu Yanyi would go to the Evil Buddha Realm after being sealed as the Heavenly Medical Envoy by the Buddha Realm, but she did not go for a long time."

The Immortal Emperor smiled. "Zhu Yanyi is too cautious. But it is good that she has gone now. We just wait for her to become a God."

"Why don’t you say she will directly achieve the cultivation of an Emperor Venerable?" The Immortal Empress glanced at the Immortal Emperor.

"After Zhu Yanyi becomes a God, it will take some time for her to become an Emperor, because she has not yet gathered her Four Kings and Eight Ministers," the Immortal Emperor said with a smile. "After becoming a God, it will be time for her to find the Four Kings and Eight Ministers. Once they are in place, she can enter the Chaos Abyss."

The Immortal Emperor was not unfamiliar with the path Zhu Yanyi had to walk; she was relatively familiar with it.

The Immortal Empress said, "It is so troublesome. It is much more troublesome than when I became an Emperor."

"There is no way. She has also enjoyed many advantages. At least she never has to endure heavenly lightning strikes when advancing," the Immortal Emperor said helplessly. "So, having more things to deal with when becoming an Emperor is understandable."

The Immortal Empress wondered if it was her illusion, but she felt that the Immortal Emperor seemed particularly gloating when saying this.

Regardless, Zhu Yanyi had gone to the Evil Buddha Realm, and her path to becoming a Medical God had begun.
