Penglai Holy Realm.

Tian Yuan Palace.

After Yu Yuan left Biyou Palace and returned to his own Daoist abode, Duobao Taoist, Golden Spirit Saint Mother, Zhao Gongming, and the three direct disciples who were closer to him came to congratulate him right away, each bearing a generous gift.

Duobao Taoist obviously breathed a sigh of relief and said cheerfully, "From now on, Jie Sect will be in your hands, my nephew. I will soon leave the East Sea, and when there's any difficulty, just summon me with the Messaging Treasure Bead!"

Yu Yuan nodded, understanding that his senior uncle was eager to seek his own path of Tao.

Ever since returning from the Azure Dragon Realm of the far Eastern Heavens, Duobao Taoist had this idea. However, Jie Sect was going through turbulent times, and he couldn't simply walk away.

Now that Yu Yuan had stepped up, he could leave with ease.

At this moment, Zhao Gongming laughed heartily and said, "And we siblings are always at the Vice Sect Hierarch's disposal!"

"You should still call me your nephew..." Yu Yuan corrected the form of address and said with a smile, "I will certainly need to trouble all the senior uncles in the future. I hope you won't find me bothersome then."

Yun Xiao Fairy shook her head, speaking gently, "Publicly, as the Vice Sect Hierarch, we siblings should naturally obey your orders. Privately, if you hadn't come to Bi Xiao's rescue, she might have fallen by now...

So in the future, do not be courteous with us siblings. Whatever orders you give, we will spare no effort!"

Seeing her sincere words, Yu Yuan bowed solemnly, "Then I thank all the senior uncles! To be honest, I have already spoken with the Sect Hierarch about planning to rectify the internal atmosphere of the sect..."

Since the seniors present were all trustworthy, he did not keep them in suspense and directly revealed the decision he had made with Sect Hierarch Tongtian.

Duobao Taoist showed little interest in administrative matters but expressed his support nonetheless.

Zhao Gongming's eyes brightened instantly, slapping his chest and saying, "Nephew, rest assured, leave the punishment of those who act wildly in Jie Sect's name to me. I've been eager to deal with them for a long time!"

Bi Xiao Fairy also chimed in, her sparkling almond eyes eager, "Count me in... This sounds very interesting."

Golden Spirit Saint Mother nodded slowly and said, "As direct disciples of the Master, we previously only focused on personal cultivation and ignored the affairs of the sect, not lifting a finger, thus allowing many Jie Sect disciples and followers to act recklessly outside, tarnishing our sect's reputation and damaging its fortunes..."

"Cough, cough!"

Duobao Taoist coughed lightly, appearing somewhat embarrassed.

If talking about inactivity, Sect Hierarch Tongtian would rank first, and he, as the leading disciple of Jie Sect, would definitely rank second.

"Well..." Duobao Taoist chose his words carefully and said seriously, "It is indeed imperative to purge the remnants and rectify the sect's discipline! However, I have other matters to attend to and will not get involved."

He paused, then looked at Yu Yuan, "In any case, like I said before, if you encounter any troubles, just call me!"

Yu Yuan nodded. He could feel the urgency in Duobao Taoist's words.

It seems that the leading disciple of Jie Sect was feeling the pressure, eager to forge his own path at the fastest pace.

Yu Yuan thought about it and realized that the source of that pressure was very likely himself.

After all, as the leading disciple of Jie Sect, Duobao Taoist had always been the foremost among all disciples without dispute, but now with Yu Yuan achieving the rank of Primordial Quasi-Saint, his senior uncle had been left behind.

This was something he absolutely couldn't tolerate!

Therefore, he was urgently seeking his own path, to achieve the Dao Fruit of the Primordial Quasi-Saint.

Not just him, Zhao Gongming, Wudang, Gui Ling, Yun Xiao, Wuyun Immortal, and all the top disciples of Jie Sect felt tremendous pressure when facing Yu Yuan, their nephew who was leagues ahead.

Duobao Taoist and the others didn't stay long before they left.

Soon after, Tianjun Qin Wan, Bai Li Heavenly Monarch, and other Jie Sect elites, along with many Jie Sect disciples, came to visit, each bringing gifts of Immortal Herbs, Spirit Pills, Vermilion Fruit, etc., and respectfully offered their congratulations, "It's truly a joyous occasion for our friend to be valued by the Holy Saint Hierarch and bestowed with the rank of Vice Sect Hierarch. We bring modest gifts to sincerely offer our congratulations!"

There were also many Independent Immortals from the East Sea, members of the Dragon Clan, and others who came to the outskirts of Penglai Immortal Island. They didn't dare to land on the island uninvited, so they bowed from afar, "We offer our humble gifts to congratulate the Immortal on being appointed the Vice Sect Hierarch."

Upon saying this, they took out the prepared Immortal Grass and Spiritual Fruit and presented them respectfully with both hands.

These East Sea Independent Immortals, along with some Jie Sect disciples, were mostly strangers to Yu Yuan, with whom he had never interacted... However, upon learning of Yu Yuan's appointment as Vice Sect Hierarch, they still rushed to congratulate him.

The Primordial realm wasn't only about battles—it also entailed social niceties.

Who is Yu Yuan?

The Vice Sect Hierarch of the greatest teaching in Primordial times!

With an identity of such significance... who wouldn't want to establish a connection?

It wasn't just them; even the Queen Mother of the West from West Kunlun, Immortal Zhenyuan from Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, and other Quasi-Saints also sent their disciples to offer congratulations.

For a time, myriads of Immortals flocked to Penglai Holy Realm!

Faced with this situation, Yu Yuan had already anticipated it.

He instantly transformed the spirits of the plants and flowers at the entrance of his courtyard and picked some docile Exotic Beasts from his "zoo," granting them Immortal Pills and marvelous medicine to help them transform.

Thus, the magnificent and majestic Tian Yuan Palace, which was usually quiet and deserted, became lively and bustling.
