Wuhlricht sighed and stated, “Royal saints have a long lifespan, but our elders only have a few years


    remaining because they are already of age. However, they are the sect’s pirs. Theyid the sect’s


    foundations with me; therefore, all four of them will be going to that ce with me. Gilda, of course, will


    apany us, along with you, your wives, and Selene. Once we leave, the question arises: who shall


    lead


    the sect in our absence?”


    Severin responded with a smile, “I’ve already discussed this with Gracie. She’s the most suitable


    candidate to lead the sect. I will also task Rachel and those who came with me to the sect to remain


    behind and assist her.”


    “What’s their current level of attainment?” Wuhlricht’s eyes lit up when he heard that a session n


    was already in ce. He had been worried about what might happen to the sect if he, along with


    Severin’s family and the elders, left the sect


    Severin smiled and assured him, “Gracie is already a level seven royal saint, while Rachel is one level


    lower than her. I am confident that their attainment will improve significantly by Hardin’s celebration


    feast. The sect will likely have numerous level five to level six saints by then. The sect will not be


    without


    capable leadership in our absence.”


    Wuhlricht nodded in satisfaction. “Gracie and Rachel are in their thirties, so they’re still rtively youn


    Royal saints can live for up to a thousand years, so I do believe that it is the right choice to entrust


    them


    with the leadership of the sect.”


    Severin agreed. “Yes, if we reach that ce and grow stronger, we might be able to return and bring


    them


    with us. I’m not sure what that higher world holds, but it will most certainly be brimming with countless


    opportunities and challenges.”


    Wuhlricht was still worried about the sect’s challenges after his absence. “Are you sure Gracie is the


    best


    candidate to head the sect?”


    “She is the most adept when ites to management. Larry and Mick are capable as well, but they’re


    not


    quite at her level yet. She’ll have Rachel assisting her along with the others. I’m sure everything will be


    fine,


    Severin responded earnestly.

    Wuhlricht found relief after hearing Severin’s answer. His primary concern had been theck of


    sessors to lead the Skyblue Sect after their departure.


    The following morning, Severin called Gracie, Rachel, Larry, and all the former hull masters from


    Dracodeus Temple. He felt a surge of emotion when he looked at the twelve Illustrious Individuals who


    had been with him through thick and thin until their eventual eptance into the Skyblue Sect.


    “I’m sure you’re aware of the miniature ck tower and what that means for us. My family, the sect


    leader, and his elders would have to depart for the higher world after Hardin’s celebratory feast.


    Although


    there are opportunities for us to be supreme saints there, it is also a ce where countless


    dangers


    abound. For that reason, we won’t be able to bring a lot of people with us, not even the twelve of you.


    The


    Skyblue Sect will cease to exist if that happens,” Severin said to the group with the utmost seriousness.


    Yidel grasped the intention behind Severin’s words and said. “Are we being tasked to safeguard the


    Skyblue Sect?”


    Mick smiled and said, “We’ll keep the sect safe if that’s what we’re entrusted with. I never even


    dreamed


    of bing a saint, but here I am going above and beyond that unattainable ideal to be a royal


    saint. I’m more than happy to be at this level. We will dedicate ourselves to safeguarding the sect after


    you leave.”
