Chapter 583: Chapter 377: Good Fortune Seal, Rewards and Merits!

Although his face was old, with a look of decrepitude, his eyes were ablaze with vitality.

Breaking through to the Golden Core, he extended his life by centuries and could enjoy a millennium of longevity. The world he saw had changed greatly.

"Greetings, Dean!"

After the arrival of the Golden Core cultivators, they all saluted Master Yunyang together.

Then, the eyes of Master Biyun and the others turned towards Gu Yuan, their expressions extremely complex, unsure of what to say for a moment.

In cultivation, the accomplished become teachers. As long as one’s cultivation is high enough, naturally their status rises accordingly.

The generational hierarchy is not quite suitable.

But the basic inheritance, respecting teachers and valuing the Dao, remains. A disciple surpassing their master or father in cultivation doesn’t mean the master or father should change how they address them; that would be overly disrespectful and insensitive.

Thus, among the same school, once one breaks through to the Golden Core, the way of address doesn’t change significantly but is arranged according to the sequence of entering the Dao, relative to age.

When Gu Yuan was at Foundation Establishment, all Golden Cores were his martial uncles, but after breaking through to the Golden Core, they all became senior brother and sister.

The hierarchy thus became fixed.

Even if he broke through to the Daoist Embryo, he would still be a Golden Core junior brother, not a martial uncle.

However, cultivation always comes first. If Golden Core cultivators called a Daoist Embryo "junior brother" every day, it would seem dismissive.

Therefore, if a younger cultivator’s cultivation surpasses that of their "senior brother," the school bestows an honorable position upon them, addressing them by their position to show respect.

At this moment, Master Yunyang glanced around and immediately understood the awkwardness of the Golden Core cultivators.

Gu Yuan’s cultivation had progressed too quickly, leaving everyone struggling to adapt, unsure even how to address him.

But he had already planned accordingly and immediately said with a smile, "In this campaign against Jiuyi Mountain, defeating the Thousand Scripture Pavilion, Master Donghua has performed outstandingly. I intend to promote him to the dean of Jiuyi Mountain Villa. What do you all think?"

Master Tiandou naturally had no objections, nor did he dare to have any.

The scene of the Nine Flames Demon King’s Human Body Dharma Embryo and Songy Wenxing’s hasty retreat still lingered vividly in everyone’s mind, unsettling their heart and spirit.

The accomplished become teachers, and the position of dean at Jiuyi Mountain is for Gu Yuan to take if the Dean does not.

"My cultivation is limited, and I fear I cannot bear such a great responsibility. Would it not be better for Senior Brother Tiandou to manage the towering Jiuyi?"

Gu Yuan, however, was unwilling to take on this great responsibility.

He found it quite cumbersome.

"If virtue does not match position, disaster ensues. Junior brother, you need not decline; just delegate the tasks, and it will be fine. Our Daoist school has a system that’s been in place, just follow the rules!"

Master Tiandou shook his head, persuading him.

The Dean summoned Gu Yuan alone, and he had already realized that the primary resources for breaking through the Daoist Embryo would likely be directed towards Gu Yuan.

Thus, Gu Yuan might quickly break through to the Daoist Embryo in the future.

He was already behind Gu Yuan; if he were to accept the position of dean, how would he manage himself in the future?

The towering Jiuyi, with its vast resources, he could not make decisions alone.

"Master Donghua is appointed as the dean of Jiuyi Mountain, a decision made alone. Master Tiandou and Sword Fox Immortal will act as deputies, making decisions together. The towering Jiuyi will be led by these three. If there is a serious matter, you can discuss it together. If no decision can be reached, a decree can be sent back to the Daoist school for my judgment."

Master Yunyang waved his sleeve, directly deciding the matter.

For a period afterward, the Daoist school would be his place of secluded cultivation. He wanted to cultivate well, entrusting Jiuyi Mountain to the Golden Core cultivators.

This place, rich in resources and filled with spiritual Qi, is where the Daoist school’s prosperity lies.

"We respectfully follow the decree!"

Master Yunyang’s decision required no further discussion, and Gu Yuan and the others accepted the decree.

Then, everyone turned to Gu Yuan and saluted:

"Greetings, Dean!"

With his title established, from this day forth, Gu Yuan was the first under the Dean of Cyan Peak Daoist School, controlling the towering Jiuyi, wielding immense power.
