“Of course, in the future, as the Young Master of the Wuji Heavenly Palace, your status will be above mine.”
“Come with me.”
After Zou Dongsheng spoke, he led Lin Yun into the main hall ahead.
As soon as Lin Yun entered the hall, he saw his own body placed on a rectangular stone, surrounded by a formation that enveloped and protected it, emitting a faint golden glow.
Eldest Senior Brother Zou Dongsheng had mentioned before that they had ways to preserve his body and maintain its realm.
Seeing his body from his previous life, a smile appeared on Lin Yun’s face.
“Lin Yun, go and lie down beside it. Next, I will help you transfer your soul over,” Zou Dongsheng said.
“Alright.”
After responding, Lin Yun walked directly to his body and lay down next to it.
Zou Dongsheng also came before Lin Yun.
“Lin Yun, next I will guide you step by step through the transfer; you must follow my instructions,” Zou Dongsheng said.
“Alright!” Lin Yun nodded in agreement.
The transfer then began, with Zou Dongsheng guiding Lin Yun.
…
One hour later.
Lin Yun slowly opened his eyes, then sat up abruptly.
“Hu…”
“Indeed, I am back!”
Lin Yun looked down at his body.
Yes, Lin Yun had returned to his body from his previous life.
The next moment, Lin Yun swiftly sat up fully and attempted to circulate his inner force.
The aura of the Second Layer of the Tongtian Realm surged forth from within him instantly!
“What a wonderful feeling!”
Sensing the powerful inner force surging through him and the strength of his body, Lin Yun’s face broke into a broad smile.
The previous weak inner force and body had been truly uncomfortable for him.
Now, at last, he was back!
Everything had returned to its former state, and he had successfully escaped the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall’s death servant status.
“You only took over a decade to return, so your body’s realm has been preserved quite well, with little loss,” Zou Dongsheng said.
“Indeed,” Lin Yun said, nodding with a smile.
Immediately after, Lin Yun turned to look at his other body.
This body, now soulless, was essentially an empty shell.
Lin Yun retrieved his storage ring and also took the sachet that had been placed on this body.
The sachet was a gift from his mother, so Lin Yun naturally tucked it close to his person.
“Lin Yun, since you have now recovered, next you must undergo the initiation ceremony. Only after the ceremony can you formally become a member of our Wuji Heavenly Palace. Afterward, you will receive the special methods for cultivating the body in the Wuji Heavenly Palace, as well as its heritage,” Zou Dongsheng said.
“Alright,” Lin Yun replied.
“Follow me.”
Zou Dongsheng led Lin Yun out of the main hall and into the adjacent palace.
Within this palace stood a massive sculpture.
“Lin Yun, to join the Wuji Heavenly Palace, you must also swear an oath to ensure you will not betray it in the future. Of course, we will not force you to do anything as the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall does, but you must take the restoration of the Wuji Heavenly Palace as your own mission! Next, I will recite a line, and you repeat after me,” Zou Dongsheng said solemnly.
“Alright!” Lin Yun replied.
Since he was to become the Young Master of the Wuji Heavenly Palace, he naturally had to bear the corresponding responsibilities and burdens; Lin Yun understood this principle well.
Moreover, Lin Yun had previously looked into information on the Wuji Heavenly Palace, and it was not some evil force that went around doing harm.
Lin Yun followed Zou Dongsheng in reciting the oath.
…
After the oath was completed.
“Young Master Lin Yun, from today onward, you are formally the Young Master of our Wuji Heavenly Palace. We in the Wuji Heavenly Palace will devote all our efforts to nurturing you!”
Zou Dongsheng knelt on one knee and saluted Lin Yun.
His address to Lin Yun had now fully changed to Young Master.
Although the current Wuji Heavenly Palace had been destroyed, its embers were preserved, and it still held some foundation; a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.
Moreover, to devote full efforts to nurturing Lin Yun, one could imagine that Lin Yun’s cultivation path in the ancestral land would now enter a new chapter.
“Senior Zou, there is no need for such formality,” Lin Yun said, helping Zou Dongsheng to his feet.
“Young Master, in the future, you need not address me as Senior; just call me Zou Dongsheng,” Zou Dongsheng said.
After speaking, Zou Dongsheng led Lin Yun out of the palace.
