Li Yunjing returned from seclusion, having broken through to the Golden Core Realm Second Heaven and mastered new techniques. He asserted his authority within the Seven Star Palace, receiving full support from elders and inheritors for sect operations and defensive arrays. He also accepted precious pills from Xuezhu to aid in his future trials and discussed newly discovered secret realms with Xu Wuyi, showing ambition for acquiring a Thunder Dao inheritance.

"Sigh... I never thought that our Seven Star Palace would have its days of glory again."

The Second Elder, Liu Qingyun, already had reddened eyes, repeatedly exclaiming in admiration.

This woman was a peak expert in the Golden Core Realm, and also a high-tier Array Dao Grandmaster, one of the pillars of the Seven Star Palace.

As for the First Elder, he was in seclusion, preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

"It’s all thanks to Elder Liu’s discerning eye for talent in bringing the Vice Sect Leader into our Seven Star Palace!"

The Third Elder, Chen Moyuan, stroked his snow-white beard, tears of relief welling in his eyes.

With trembling hands, he took out an ancient array map from his sleeve, "This is the ’Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon Demon Confinement Array’ that I have studied all my life. Now, I present it to you. I hope you can unleash its full potential."

"I always said you were no ordinary person!"

The Fourth Elder, Zhou Honglie, laughed heartily, gesturing grandly, causing the air around him to buzz and resonate: "With your Golden Core Second Heaven cultivation now, even an old man like me must show some caution!"

He boldly removed the Thunder Pattern Jade Pendant from his waist, "This jade pendant has been with me for many years, able to block an attack from a Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse in critical moments. Take it!"

"Sigh... I also never expected, from the moment you claimed first place in the Outer Sect competition, I knew you had talent, but I never thought you would reach such a level of brilliance!"

Elder Liu Shang also showed a look of admiration.

Recalling that year, when he presided over the Outer Sect competition along with the First Elder of the Outer Sect, he never thought that in this casual game, they would find an unpolished gem for the Seven Stars Peak.

This unpolished gem took just twenty years to become the most brilliant jewel of the Shenxiao Dao Sect and the entire Southern Heaven Continent!

No!

Not just the Southern Heaven Continent!

Even Celestial Wave Star has no such genius!

Elder Liu Shang firmly believed!

"The Elders overpraise me, Yunjing was just a bit lucky, nurtured by the Sect and supported by predecessors, to achieve today’s success."

Li Yunjing hurriedly bowed, an embarrassed expression on his handsome face.

To be honest, Li Yunjing had heard praises before!

But to have so many of the great figures of the Seven Star Palace, even Golden Core Realm peak Array Dao Grandmasters, all praising him, Li Yunjing didn’t feel elated; instead, he felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

He took the array map handed by Chen Moyuan, his fingertips brushing the flowing thunder patterns on the yellowing silk, solemnly saying, "I will dedicate myself day and night to the Third Elder’s lifelong effort, and live up to your great expectations."

Facing the Thunder Pattern Jade Pendant thrown by Zhou Honglie, he hurriedly backed half a step, not daring to accept it easily.

This is a forbidden artifact capable of blocking a strike from a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!

Elder Zhou Honglie didn’t know which Supreme Elder he got this life-saving item from, but he just gave it to him, how could Li Yunjing dare to move?

It was precisely this sense of being moved that made him hesitate to accept.

The favor is too great!

The Elders of the Seven Star Palace are too enthusiastic.

Making Li Yunjing feel a sense of inadequacy.

"Take it if you’re given it!"

However, Li Yunjing’s retreat was useless, as it was forcibly hung on his waist by the Fourth Elder: "Or do you look down on this old man’s things?"

"The love the Fourth Elder shows, Yunjing remembers in his heart. If I encounter powerful enemies in the future, I will surely use the jade pendant to protect the Sect."

Li Yunjing smiled wryly, having no choice but to bow in thanks.

"Without Elder Liu’s discerning eye in the past, Yunjing would have had no qualification to join the Seven Stars Peak and apprentice under the Palace Master."

His gaze turned to Elder Liu Shang, filled with longing: "This great kindness, Yunjing will never forget!"

He looked up at the plaque hanging high outside the hall gates, "Now that I bear the responsibility of Vice Sect Leader, the only way Yunjing can live up to your expectations is by working diligently to restore the Seven Star Palace to glory."

"Don’t belittle yourself; your character and talent are rare in the Sect for hundreds of thousands of years."

Liu Qingyun comforted this young junior brother with a smile, and continued, "In the future, if you encounter difficulties in the Array Dao, feel free to come to your senior sister."

Li Yunjing repeatedly nodded, his peripheral vision catching sight of the True Disciples sitting in the hall.

Their eyes burning with admiration suddenly reminded him of himself when he first entered the Shenxiao Dao Sect thirty-five years ago.

"Today’s glory belongs to every fellow disciple of the Seven Star Palace!"

He stood up straight, speaking loudly, "If I am fortunate enough to ascend to the position of Sect Leader in the future, I will devote my efforts to cultivating more outstanding talents for the Sect!"

Even before his words faded, applause thundered through the entire Seven Star Palace like a storm.

The True Disciples could no longer contain their excitement, and exclamation after exclamation echoed among the crowd.

"Brother Li is practically a celestial being descended to earth!"

A young disciple gazed at Li Yunjing with complete admiration, his voice trembling: "In just fifteen years of seclusion, he has achieved this much. He is destined to become a peerless powerhouse, renowned throughout the world!"

"Yes! Yes!"

Another disciple’s eyes shimmered with fervor, "Brother Li not only has unmatched cultivation but has also refined three major tokens, truly a model for us all!"

"If I could receive some guidance from Senior Brother, I would gladly give up ten years of my life!"

These True Disciples, usually proud, now surrounded Li Yunjing, eagerly seeking his cultivation insights.

Looking at the True Disciples gathering around, sensing the fervor and expectation in their eyes, Li Yunjing felt a surge of responsibility within him.

He raised his hand to signal everyone to quiet down, then spoke loudly, "Since this is the case, I’ll bravely discuss with you some insights from my years of cultivation. If there are any omissions, I hope my junior brothers and sisters will not hesitate to correct me."

As he finished speaking, he flicked his finger lightly, creating a soft thunder light, forming a three-foot-square platform in mid-air, which he calmly stepped onto.
