"Don't worry, Supreme Leader! You have been, and always will be, our Supreme Leader. We'll protect the Skyblue Sect even if you're no longer around."
"Yes! The Skyblue Sect has talented disciples, and the atmosphere here is very conducive to training. We're more than happy to continue here."
Some of the other former hall masters chimed in too.
Severin smiled and said, "I've already prepared some pills for you. You'll have at least three months to raise your attainment levels. You'll be the leaders once we depart. I trust you'll remain united and carry on the Skyblue Sect's legacy."
He then paused briefly before adding, "I'll prepare many pills for you in advance so you won't run out of fifth-grade pills once I'm gone. The sect's alchemists have made remarkable progress recently, and Elsa will remain here too. She has assured me that she remains committed to crafting pills for the sect. I'll also transfer some of my fourth and fifth-grade crafting recipes to her. She is talented enough to succeed me and become the sect's premier alchemist in the future."
"I'm glad she is staying behind as well. Her talent is certainly stronger than most people," Rachel said cheerfully.
"Our journey to the higher world is also a reconnaissance expedition of sorts. Once we've established ourselves there and attained higher attainment levels, we might be able to find a way to return and bring you with us. You need only dedicate yourselves to training and aim to become level nine royal saints. That would allow you to develop even further once the opportunity to come with us becomes available," Severin concluded.
Mick laughed heartily. "We'll have you to protect us when you come back as level nine supreme saints. However, I feel bad that you're taking the risk for us."
