Li Yingqiong smiled: "You'd better finish what you're doing and train your successors before anything else."

The others had no choice but to suppress their thoughts for now.

Of course, there were those obsessed with power who cared little for cultivation.

Confucian culture had flourished for over a thousand years; the entire society was dominated by official-centric thinking, where studying to become an official was the norm.

Power and immortality could only be chosen one; they had no choice but to painfully abandon cultivation.

Suddenly, a blade of light descended.

"Little Sister Li, no—Sect Master—we must go!"

Qi Lingyun chuckled, the sword light wrapping around them as they shot straight up to the ninth heavens; all the others saw only a magnificent sword beam piercing the sky, and when they looked again, Li Yingqiong was gone.

"Let's go. Do what the Master has ordered."

Long moments passed before someone sighed and lowered their gaze.

On the other side.

Qi Lingyun rode the sword light, racing like the wind and thunder; Li Yingqiong heard only the roar of wind and lightning beside her, and when they landed, they were already among a vast range of mountains.

"Where are we?"

"Emei!"

Li Yingqiong was startled: "Are we establishing a sect here too?"

Qi Lingyun smiled: "With Emei nearby, it's easier to have support. Emei Mountain has countless peaks—finding an uninhabited one to establish the Profound Heaven Sect won't bother anyone."

Of course, only Qi Lingyun, the Emei heiress, could say such a thing.

If anyone else thought the same, they'd soon learn the brutality of Emei.

"Sect Master, you cultivate here first. I'll go fetch my two uncles!"

With that, the sword light vanished like a shadow.
