Chapter 2749 - 2725: Shangque Sect
Chapter 2725: Discussing the Sect Establishment
One day, Lin Feng gathered everyone around him, preparing to hold a comprehensive meeting regarding the sect matters, and in the council hall of the Holy Pill Pavilion, everyone was excitedly chatting.
Gu Tianhai was preparing all the data about the sect, ready to listen to everyone’s suggestions during the meeting. The women from Rong City and Zhu Tao were also brought back by Lin Feng, and Gu Tianhai got in touch with Bage Tower, making the council hall lively with more than ten people gathered.
Looking at the people around him, Lin Feng thought of how long he had ascended and was finally ready to prepare the sect matters. Recalling when he first arrived at the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, he felt a multitude of emotions, truly grateful to have so many people supporting him.
He straightened his posture slightly and then said to everyone, "I am preparing to establish a sect and would like to hear your opinions."
Once he finished speaking, the entire council hall fell silent, everyone looking at Lin Feng without saying a word for a while.
It was Ma Biaohu who broke the silence, saying, "Great, great, I agree, I’ve been eagerly waiting!"
Ding Wan’er looked at Lin Feng, although she had heard that Lin Feng’s strength had already reached the Divine Emperor level, she couldn’t help but worry. After all, they had ascended from the lower realm, and their current strength was far from sufficient. If the sect were established, they might not be able to help Lin Feng and might even distract him. But she didn’t say this; she would support Lin Feng in whatever he did. She nodded and said, "I agree."
The other women, including Tao Tao, Lingling, and Si Hong, saw that Ding Wan’er had nothing to say, so they nodded in agreement.
Then Lin Feng said to Gu Tianhai, "Please tell everyone about the sect layout."
In fact, he really didn’t have time to think about these things, so Gu Tianhai was helping him, but Gu Tianhai’s ideas were comprehensive, and with Gu Tianhai in charge, Lin Feng could feel assured.
Gu Tianhai looked at everyone, stood up, and then took out a booklet. When he opened it, it revealed densely packed archaic characters, showcasing his genuine dedication to the sect matters. He then said to everyone, "First, the young master needs to determine the sect’s location, which is extremely important. I won’t elaborate much on this and request the young master’s decision."
Lin Feng nodded and then looked at Gu Tianhai, signaling him to continue.
"Secondly, regarding the sect’s economic source, in recent years, the Holy Pill Pavilions in Ling City, Xucheng, and Lin City have developed well, with relatively stable income. Previously, I also established Holy Pill Pavilions in three nearby secondary cities, and once they are on track, I believe supporting the sect’s development won’t be a major issue, especially since our cooperation with the auction house and the collaboration with Qiuyi Workshop will bring relatively stable income. Moreover, preparing the sect isn’t an overnight affair, so for now, there’s no need to worry about funding." Gu Tianhai earnestly explained to everyone while flipping through the booklet.
"Thirdly, it’s about gathering ascenders. Now, Bage Tower and a few others from the lower realm have found more than a hundred ascenders throughout the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, and have placed them in the Holy Pill Pavilion closest to them. When the sect is established, the ascenders will be brought over. During this preparation period, everyone must not be lax, as there are still many ascenders in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, especially in the Holy City. Therefore, Bage Tower, you must try everything to keep searching." Gu Tianhai said to Bage Tower.
Bage Tower nodded. They had been trying hard over the past few years, but the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm severely suppressed ascenders, making many of them hide, which made finding them very difficult.
"Fourth, concerning cultivation challenges, although the young master is already comparable to the Divine Emperor, among us, very few can reach the Divine Venerable level. If real danger occurs, we wouldn’t be able to respond effectively, so the foremost task now is enhancing strength." Gu Tianhai said to everyone.
His words were met with unanimous agreement, as they were well aware. Many of the women ascended from the lower realm, and after completing the Yuangang Transformation, they hadn’t had the chance to improve. In the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, Bage Tower and others had always faced unequal treatment, leaving them without good resources for ascenders to cultivate. Among the remaining, only Ma Biaohu and Tao Tao reached the Divine Venerable level. If another sect were to provoke them, they might not be able to respond adequately.
"Furthermore, there’s the matter of formations. This is extremely important but must be handled by the young master personally. A powerful Sect Protection Array can ensure the safety of the sect." Gu Tianhai looked at Lin Feng, knowing that Lin Feng naturally understood this. Among the array masters he encountered, none could surpass Lin Feng’s level. They had previously discussed the sect formation issues in detail, so he believed that the Sect Protection Array created by Lin Feng would be extraordinarily unique.
Everyone thought Gu Tianhai made a valid point and nodded in agreement. They knew the most crucial aspect of a sect was safety, and only Lin Feng’s formation skills could set up such an impressive Sect Protection Array.
"Lastly, I drafted a sect charter that lists numerous rules and penalties in detail, applying to everyone, as the saying goes, ’without rules, civilization cannot exist.’ Establishing a sect is a significant event, and without unified management, it could lead to chaos later. Therefore, I hope everyone will strictly abide by the rules." Gu Tianhai took out a scroll from beneath the booklet and displayed it to everyone. The scroll was several dozen yards long, filled with densely written sect rules.
Seeing these meticulously crafted rules, everyone couldn’t help but admire Gu Tianhai’s painstaking efforts, feeling that he truly was remarkable. Without Gu Tianhai, Lin Feng might not have reached this step so swiftly.
"I’ve finished, young master," Gu Tianhai respectfully said to Lin Feng, then sat down. All he did was to assist Lin Feng, hoping for Lin Feng to establish the sect soon.
Lin Feng satisfactorily nodded; Gu Tianhai’s words were well-founded, clear, and logical, allowing everyone to comprehend them. He also planned to let Gu Tianhai be in charge of sect affairs after its establishment because only Gu Tianhai gave him peace of mind. He then asked, "Does anyone have any additions?"
Everyone looked at each other without saying anything. They had thought about sect matters but hadn’t considered them as comprehensively as Gu Tianhai did. Then, they looked at Lin Feng, waiting for him to continue.
Then he looked at Meng Jiao and said: "Any issues with alchemy?"
Meng Jiao took a sip of tea, looked at Lin Feng, and smiled: "No problem. I have not been in Lin City recently; instead, I’ve been stationed at the new Holy Pill Pavilion. Young Master, now that you’re back, could you teach me more of the essence of alchemy? I feel like I’ve hit a bottleneck and can’t improve my alchemy skills, which is quite frustrating for us."
His straightforward personality and obsession with alchemy were what drove him to the Holy Pill Pavilion to learn from Lin Feng’s expertise, so he always wanted to seize any opportunity to learn more from Lin Feng.
"Certainly." Lin Feng looked at Meng Jiao and said, "In the future, after establishing the sect, I plan to have you refine elixirs internally for the sect. So, I’ll find some time to write some alchemy prescriptions suitable for ascenders for you to practice. These elixirs are my own creations, so their levels are somewhat high."
"That’s fantastic!" Hearing that Lin Feng would teach him alchemical secret techniques made Meng Jiao almost leap with excitement; he couldn’t wait already.
Then Lin Feng looked at the Purple Thunder Transforming Sky Dragon and the Nether Thunder Heaven Devouring Tiger and said, "Your current strength is still not enough. You must focus on enhancing it quickly. I am going to be busy with sect matters, so you can temporarily cultivate in Lin City."
The Purple Thunder Transforming Sky Dragon and the Nether Thunder Heaven Devouring Tiger nodded upon hearing Lin Feng’s instructions.
"When I went to the southern sea area, I made contact with the Dragon Clan. If there’s a need for building the sect, they will reach out and offer their help. Also, when I went to the Frost Highland, the Tevor Family’s Alien Race promised full assistance upon the sect’s establishment. With these two allies, we can be somewhat reassured."
Lin Feng looked at everyone and said, knowing that when the sect is established, the foes they face will involve the entire Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, so only these two forces are far from enough. Although he had connections with the Myriad Gods Tower and the Transcendence Pond, once his sect was formed, there was no guarantee that they would not turn against him. Therefore, it was vital to find other ways to recruit more powerful allies for support.
"And Spirit Butterfly Island!" Si Hong laughed and said to Lin Feng. Now, given their relationship, the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable surely would not hesitate to assist if the sect were established.
Lin Feng glanced at Si Hong and smiled, then said: "Regarding finding ascenders, let Dark Star assist you. The intelligence from Spirit Butterfly Island is unmatched compared to ordinary sources."
Si Hong nodded. She was eager to help Lin Feng with something, having been with him for so long but hadn’t been much aid yet.
Then Lin Feng looked at everyone and said: "Next, Bage Tower, you continue to look for ascenders and gather intelligence from various Dark Star organizations."
Bage Tower nodded and responded: "Yes, Sect Master."
"Tianhai, I need you to find some materials and treasures specific for artifact refining around Lin City. I want to create some Dharma Treasures, and I’ll have the Purple Thunder Transforming Sky Dragon and the Nether Thunder Heaven Devouring Tiger accompany you." Lin Feng said, planning to refine some superior Dharma Treasures for the sect members. This task could be done during his spare time, so first, he needed to gather all the necessary materials.
Gu Tianhai promptly responded to Lin Feng’s instructions: "Alright, Young Master."
Suddenly recalling the Cold Winter Sword he had refined for the women at the Frost Highland, Lin Feng took out nine Cold Winters from his spatial storage and placed them on the long table. The nine swords shimmered with a pale blue light, turning the entire conference room blue. He looked at Ding Wan’er and the others and said: "These Dharma Treasures I crafted specifically for you, called the Cold Winter."
"Wow!"
"So beautiful!"
"Thank you, Feng!"
...
The women became excited upon seeing the nine swords. They had been cultivating the Nine Ice Divine Control Technique, and this Dharma Treasure fit perfectly for them. Each held a sword, caressing it like a treasure. The swords even had a character for "Feng" engraved on them, moving the nine women deeply.
Lin Feng said: "In a while, I’ll take you to a place to help you quickly enhance your abilities, and then send you back."
He already had a plan in mind. After the women arrived in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, apart from undergoing Yuangang Transformation, they lacked opportunities for advancement. Hence, he had to find a way to help them reach the Divine Venerable level swiftly.
