After Song Qingming and Bai Yuxian discussed it together, they set the time for his Nascent Soul Celebration one year later.
Next, the Carefree Sect would notify all the nearby cultivation sects on friendly terms with them, inviting them to send representatives to Mount Guyang to witness Song Qingming succeed to the position of Grand Elder of the Carefree Sect.
Song Qingming had originally intended to decline the title first and wait until some time after the Nascent Soul Celebration.
After all, he had yet to fully integrate into the sect. Taking up the position of Grand Elder so directly seemed somewhat improper in name.
However, Bai Yuxian and Li Mufeng had already discussed the matter. Now that Song Qingming had broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, there was no need to fuss over such cumbersome formalities. He could directly succeed as the sect's Grand Elder.
As for whether the Song Family should directly integrate into the sect, it would not be too late to consider that gradually after Song Qingming assumed the position of Grand Elder.
Whether all Song Family cultivators wished to integrate into the sect in the future, or Song Qingming wished to continue serving concurrently as the Song Family's patriarch, he could decide those matters himself. The sect would not interfere excessively.
However, there was one point that the sect presently cared about.
Once Song Qingming took over as the sect's Grand Elder, he would be considered to have formally integrated into the sect. At that time, he had to swear an oath in the sect's Founder's Hall that, no matter what happened in the future, he would never betray the Carefree Sect.
Song Qingming did not mind this point too much. Without hesitation, he nodded and agreed directly before Bai Yuxian.
