After the Netherworld Sect released the news, Wang Daoyuan also received a message from Luo Jiuyou, telling him to prepare to head to the Netherworld Sect to receive his title.
Half a day later, a sixty-meter-long low-grade fourth-grade flying warship arrived from the west of Jadespring Peak.
This item should have been purchased from the Divine Armament Pavilion, as there were very few powers capable of refining fourth-grade flying warships.
Only the Divine Weapon Pavilion was able to refine them on a large scale and sell them to other forces.
Six late-stage Zifu Disciples walked down from the warship, all dressed in the black ceremonial robes of the Netherworld Sect's elders. They stood on either side of the warship's entrance.
Soon after, another peak Zifu Disciple walked down from the warship.
Wang Daoyuan had already walked out of his cave, dressed in the black ceremonial robes of the Netherworld Sect, and was waiting by the Jade Dragon Spring.
The peak Zifu Disciple walked up and bowed. "Greetings, Grand Elder. We have come on the orders of the Sect Master to welcome Grand Elder."
Wang Daoyuan didn't say anything. He nodded and followed the Elder onto the flying warship.
The other six Elders followed behind as well.
A low-grade fourth-grade flying warship was capable of fighting against an early-stage Jindan cultivator head on.
Naturally, its speed wasn't inferior either, and it was even slightly faster than an early-stage Jindan cultivator.
In less than half a day, they arrived at the Netherworld Sect's entrance.
The Netherworld Sect's entrance was currently decorated with lanterns and colored banners, and the cultivators guarding the entrance had all been replaced by Zifu Disciples.
The warship landed outside the entrance, and Wang Daoyuan stepped on a five-colored cloud, leaving the warship and entering the entrance.
At this moment, three hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators were standing on the stone steps outside the Assembly Hall.
There were also twenty Zifu Disciples standing on either side of the Assembly Hall's entrance.
Although the Netherworld Sect didn't do things properly, they did a good job of putting up a front. They had brought out nearly half of the Netherworld Sect's cultivators.
Aside from the cultivators who were stationed outside, most of the Netherworld Sect's Foundation Establishment and Violet Palace Realm cultivators were here as well.
The Jindan cultivators didn't need to walk up the steps, so Wang Daoyuan rode on a cloud and flew up the steps.
Every time they walked in front of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they would bow and salute.
Wang Daoyuan didn't dawdle on the stairs for too long. He quickly arrived at the entrance to the Zifu Palace, and the Zifu Disciples on either side of him all bowed respectfully.
Luo Jiuyou and Gu Wangzong went to the door to greet them. Although the Grand Elder had no real power, his status was higher than the Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master on the surface, so they had to salute him.
At this moment, an elderly Golden Core cultivator with white hair and beard was sitting on the main seat of the main hall.
This was the current First Supreme Elder of the Underworld Sect. His name was Zhong Zhenyang, and his title was Zhenyang the Immortal.
From his name, one could tell that this fellow's senior was not on good terms with the Netherworld Sect.
The four major surnames of the Netherworld Sect were Luo, Zhong, Gu, and Ming.
The ancestors of these four families were the four disciples of the founder of the Netherworld Sect, the Netherworld Spiritual Master.
The Nether Spiritual Master did not leave behind any descendants. After he passed away, these four disciples were the ones in charge of the Nether Sect.
The previous Sect Masters and Grand Elders were all from these four families.
People like Zhou Qi and Liu Jinhui were disciples of these four families.
Although they were also considered direct descendants, there was almost no hope for them to form their Gold Cores in this life.
It could be seen that these four families were very xenophobic and did not give outsiders a chance at all.
When Zhong Zhenyang saw Wang Daoyuan come in, his face was full of smiles.
If one saw such a person outside the Netherworld Sect, they would really think that he was a very kind person.
Unfortunately, there were not many good people in the upper echelons of the Netherworld Sect, and this fellow was no exception.
He nodded and said, "Daoyuan is indeed a talent. No wonder you formed your Gold Core before you were 200 years old."
Wang Daoyuan bowed. Zhong Zhenyang took out a golden silk scroll and read according to the content on it.
That was to say, Wang Daoyuan's contributions to the Netherworld Sect were all praised. After that, he praised Wang Daoyuan's talent, character, and so on.
Although the Golden Core cultivators of the Netherworld Sect could not wait to kill Wang Daoyuan.
But on the surface, he still had a look of admiration, praising with sincerity.
They were all old foxes for hundreds of years, and their acting skills were definitely not a problem.
In the end, he solemnly announced, "On behalf of the Netherworld Sect's Grand Elders, I confer Wang Daoyuan as the sixth Grand Elder of the Netherworld Sect and also the Administrator of South Yanan.
He has full authority to deal with all the affairs of South Yanan County, and govern all the subordinate forces of South Yanan County and the cultivators of the sect. "
After the announcement, Wang Daoyuan bowed and accepted the title.
Then, Luo Jiuyou and Gu Wangzong cupped their hands and bowed to Wang Daoyuan.
All the Zifu Realm cultivators bowed, and the Foundation Establishment cultivators outside knelt and bowed.
Then, a peak Zifu Realm cultivator held a jade tray with both hands.
On the tray, there was a golden book, a black jade token, and a black jade dragon seal.
This was the seal of a Grand Elder. The other Grand Elders only had a token and a golden book.
The Black Dragon Seal was Wang Daoyuan's official seal as the Administrator of South Yanan. He needed to use this Black Dragon Seal to issue orders.
Zhong Zhenyang picked up the golden book, the token, and the seal from the tray and handed them to Wang Daoyuan.
After Wang Daoyuan took the three things, he encouraged him, "South Yanan County is facing the Sky Slash Mountain Range and the Northern Mountain Demon Clan at the same time.
This is also the first line of defense of the Netherworld Sect. You have a long way to go, and you must not let your guard down. "
Wang Daoyuan cupped his hands and said, "I will follow your teachings. I will definitely guard South Yanan County carefully and conscientiously."
He was very disdainful in his heart. In the future, South Yanan County will follow my surname.
How can I not be diligent in running my own business?
After the conferring ceremony, Zhong Zhenyang took Wang Daoyuan to pay respects to the Netherworld Sect's Ancestral Hall. Here, the memorial tablets of the Netherworld Sect's Golden Core cultivators were enshrined.
Although Wang Daoyuan did not take this group of old fogeys seriously, he still pretended to kowtow on the ground.
After paying respects to the Ancestral Hall, the conferring ceremony of the Supreme Elder was all over.
After that, Wang Daoyuan did not leave the Netherworld Sect's mountain gate.
Instead, he went to the Elixir Hall to exchange for some alchemy inheritances.
He now had the array formation inheritance left by the Five Elements Spiritual Master, the refining inheritance from his master, and the talisman inheritance was also a fourth-level talisman inheritance. He was only missing a fourth-level alchemy inheritance.
Now that his family had become the master of a region, and in the future, it was still necessary to have a fourth-level alchemy, talisman, and talisman array inheritance.
Before he formed his core, he had been running around for the spiritual fire and the materials for his natal magic artifact, so he had no time to improve his attainments in alchemy, talisman, and talisman arrays.
Now that his cultivation had reached the Golden Core stage, his cultivation would not improve too much in a short time, so he could take the time to practice alchemy, talisman, and talisman arrays.
As for the affairs of South Yanan County, it did not take much effort.
As a Golden Core cultivator, he was a figure who could be called an ancestor anywhere in Xiuxian. There was no need for him to care about trivial matters.
Naturally, there were people who were willing to do all kinds of things.
The Wang family now had more than nine hundred cultivators, and in these years, the family had paid more attention to cultivating the clan's strategy and ability to do things, so it was not difficult to find people who could be used.
The Netherworld Sect's specialty was refining artifacts, and it was refining evil magic artifacts. In terms of alchemy, it was really not very good.
However, the alchemy inheritance that Wang Daoyuan exchanged was still quite brilliant.
This was not the main inheritance of the Netherworld Sect, but a part of the inheritance that he had obtained when he explored True Lord Hundred Spirits' abode.
He had spent two million contribution points to exchange for this inheritance.
Then, Wang Daoyuan left the Netherworld Sect's mountain gate and rode a cloud back to his family.
After returning to Jade Spring Peak, he discussed with his Third Brother and set the time of the Golden Core ceremony to be half a year later.
The Wang family had returned to the ranks of the Golden Core clans and had become the master of a region. There would definitely be many clans who would come to celebrate, so they naturally had to spend more time preparing.
As for the issue of the responsibilities of the Southern Yanan County Administrator, Wang Daoyuan only announced that the administrator's residence would be located in Qingli City.
As for the other personnel arrangements, not a single piece of information was revealed, and they would obediently stay at Jade Spring Peak.
He was giving the clans of South Yanan County some time to make a choice.
In the future, would they follow the Netherworld Sect wholeheartedly, or would they obediently follow the Wang family?
