Divine Replication System

Zhou Yu Xin and Ruan Zhu both bowed in response.    

Zhou Yu Xin had little to comment on. He was already the Sect Master of the Elemental Spirit Sect, with his cultivation reaching level 9 of the Martial Monarch Stage.    

His appointment as the hall master of the Elemental Spirit Hall was quite fitting.    

Ruan Zhu, though, was a different story. While her cultivation was not insignificant, having been one of the eight main branches of the Elemental Spirit Sect as the Master of the Mystic Yin Branch, she was only at the Middle stage of the Martial Monarch Stage, not even having reached the late period.    

Among the female martial cultivators present, there were those with higher cultivation levels.    

Some were young and voluptuous, no less impressive than she.    

So why was she suddenly elevated to the role of Vice Hall Master?    

Different positions come with different levels of resource allocation and opportunities for cultivation, as well as control over energy.    

This promotion was an unexpected windfall for Ruan Zhu.    

All the Emperor Level Martial Cultivators present were somewhat perplexed.    

Yet, they couldn't help but feel a tinge of envy.    

This meant that Ruan Zhu had skyrocketed to a new height, poised to receive an outpouring of resources and training that could propel her to the late period of the Emperor Level Martial Cultivator in a much shorter time.    

They all speculated about the reasons behind this decision.    

For Ruan Zhu, this stirred a tumult of emotions.    

Upon hearing Lin Xuan's name, she had been momentarily stunned, struggling to grasp the reality of the situation.    

Then, Lin Xuan had personally promoted her to Vice Hall Master, a position akin to the former Vice Sect Master of the Elemental Spirit Sect.    

Given her level of cultivation and status, she was far from being a natural fit for such a prestigious role.    

Yet now, Lin Xuan had given the command himself.    

Lin Xuan's presence commanded an authority that demanded respect from the Elemental Spirit Sect.    

The Elemental Spirit Hall, under his gaze, was imbued with an authority that surpassed even that of the venerable ancestor, the Elemental Spirit Son.    

No one dared to voice a word of opposition.    

Lin Xuan's orders were absolute and would be executed as spoken.    

Unless someone was bold enough to challenge Lin Xuan himself.    

Otherwise, not even the old ancestor or Sect Master Zhou Yu Xin would hesitate to elevate her to the position of Vice Hall Master.    

She would be granted the appropriate status and resources.    

This was something she had scarcely dared to dream of before.    

Yet now, it had become a reality.    

It gave her an almost surreal feeling.    

And with all the evidence pieced together, her certainty grew.    

However, the timing wasn't right.    

She would wait for a more opportune moment to inquire and confirm her suspicions.    

"Furthermore, reinstate the Zhenwu Branch. Declare that they are no longer considered traitors. Recall all disciples of the Zhenwu Branch and restore their ranks and positions.    

Zhou Yu Xin, you are to handle this. See to it with urgency."    

Lin Xuan's voice resonated once more, stirring a silent commotion.    

Though the scene remained quiet, the martial cultivators' hearts were tumultuous.    

Here was a man who was likely from the Central Essence Continent, a figure surpassing the Emperor Level.    

He was addressing the once-betrayed Elemental Spirit Sect, actively seeking to vindicate them.    

This disclosed an abundance of information.    

Even those who hadn't previously made any connections now harbored their own theories.    

Ruan Zhu's eyes shimmered with curiosity, almost prompting her to speak out.    

Yet the silence persisted.    

For, regardless of the circumstances, Lin Xuan's presence was of an unfathomable and terrifying power, an entity none could dare to provoke.    

Even the venerable ancestors paid him the utmost respect.    

What difference did knowing his identity make?    

In this world, true power was the ultimate currency, not anything else.    

"Yes, I will execute the task with the utmost speed and diligence!" Zhou Yu Xin declared, breaking the hush.    

The former Sect Master of the Elemental Spirit Sect had been ambushed and gravely wounded by Wu Juechen, the Master of Zhenwu Branch, in Devil Essence City, leading to his demise shortly thereafter.    

The entire Zhenwu Branch was branded as traitors by the Elemental Spirit Sect, a stance universally acknowledged by all major forces.    

Now, Lin Xuan had overturned their disgrace with a single decree.    

Zhou Yu Xin, as the newly appointed Sect Master, offered no words of dissent.    

It wasn't just Zhou Yu Xin; even Yuan Lingzi, the old ancestor of the Elemental Spirit Sect, and the loyal followers of the previous Sect Master remained silent.    

Ultimately, the past was inconsequential.    

During the upheaval in Devil Essence City, Wu Juechen's betrayal had inflicted significant losses upon the Elemental Spirit Sect. The betrayal had bred deep-seated hatred within many of the sect's high-ranking members towards the Zhenwu Branch.    

In the aftermath, the Zhenwu martial artists were not only hunted but also pursued and exterminated in a fit of retribution.    

Yet, when weighed against the Elemental Spirit Sect's current predicament, those events seemed trivial. At that time, the sect had merely lost a Sect Master at level 9 of the Martial Monarch Stage and a handful of elite martial artists.    

But now, the entire sect had been brought to its knees in submission.    

In fact, as of today, the Elemental Spirit Sect ceased to exist, having been transformed into the Elemental Spirit Hall under the auspices of Tianyuan Palace.    

In light of this, previous concerns about betrayal and traitors paled in comparison.    

The priority was clear: to protect oneself and the numerous martial artists of the former sect, compliance was paramount.    

Zhou Yu Xin wore an expression of utmost seriousness. Lin Xuan had entrusted him with his first mission, a seemingly straightforward task. Yet, failure was not an option, and the consequences of such were unthinkable.    

Even those at the pinnacle of Emperor Level were mere subordinates, and he, being at level 9 of Emperor Level, was even less significant. The difference one individual made was negligible.    

He had no intention of being cast aside so easily. The mission demanded swift and flawless execution.    

Determined, he resolved to oversee the operation personally, deploying his most trusted followers and leveraging all his influence in the search.    

Moreover, he planned to reassign those closely affiliated with the previous Sect Master, diminishing their power and standing.    

Those who harbored enmity towards the Zhenwu Branch were to be sidelined and dealt with accordingly. Though they had contributed to the Elemental Spirit Sect's legacy, the old adage held true: 'New ruler, new rules.'    

With the return of this formidable individual, who was rumored to be the same dominant force from before, all things were destined to change in his wake.    

Lin Xuan, seated at the head of the assembly, remained composed, his demeanor unchanged.    

He wasn't concerned about revealing his identity.    

Back on the Central Essence Continent, his identity was already known.    

Here on the Dongyuan Continent, no one posed a threat to him, so there was even less to worry about.    

The Zhenwu Branch, where he once belonged, held the only ties that still mattered to him.    

Faang Tianyu, Zhung Hee, Zhao Shan, and his other senior brothers and sisters from the Zhenwu Branch had always looked out for him.    

However, due to Wu Juechen's betrayal in Devil Essence City, the Elemental Spirit Sect branded him a traitor.    

He likely had no choice but to join the Devil Cloud Sect or to live in hiding under an assumed name.    

Most of his peers, I believe, remained loyal.    

Even if they had turned traitor, Lin Xuan wasn't bothered.    

Now, with his newfound strength, it was only natural for him to lend a hand.    

Clearing their names and restoring their reputations was just the beginning.    

Later, upon their return, Lin Xuan planned to further assist them with an array of treasures, resources, and martial arts secrets.
